After Breaking Up, I Shared an Apartment With My Best Friend and Her Boyfriend (H) - 65
Chapter 65: The Muscles Inside Clung Tightly to the Fabric
Eye contact was a revelation of emotion. Chen Qiao seemed to see a kind of tenderness in his eyes.
It was like the tenderness toward a girlfriend.
Chen Qiao nodded. “Okay.”
Then she took the phone and checked the time. She realized that it had long passed the time for her next song. That meant they had been at it for a full half hour.
However, Xu Jiaming had not called her. He must have adjusted the song order.
Chen Qiao quickly put her evening dress back in order and draped her coat over her shoulders. Once she had fully tidied herself up, she pushed the door open, got out of the car, and said goodbye to Xu Yanqi.
At that moment, Xu Yanqi was still on that call, which should have been from his friend. He told the person the location and asked him to come drive.
Chen Qiao was actually quite curious about this friend of his. He could be so patient as not to hang up the phone, even when Xu Yanqi did not speak.
If he did not hang up, then he would not either.
What kind of friend was this.
Xu Yanqi watched Chen Qiao leave with his eyes. Then, while talking on the phone with Li Zhen, he sent a message to Chen Qiao on WeChat.
“Tonight I’m not going back to stay. There’s leftover rice and dishes in the fridge. If you’re hungry when you get back, just heat them up in the microwave.”
Chen Qiao walked toward the bar’s elevator while looking at the message Xu Yanqi had sent her. Because she did not watch the road, she bumped straight into someone.
“Sorry.”
Chen Qiao apologized quickly. She rubbed her forehead where it had hit and carefully lifted her eyes. She had not expected at all that the one standing in front of her was Li Zhen.
Just now, she had crashed headfirst into his solid and firm chest. The chest muscles there were very developed. At that moment, he had his suit draped over his arm, wearing a professional black shirt on his body. The muscles inside clung tightly to the fabric, as if they were about to burst out.
Chen Qiao’s gaze stuck to him, her eyes completely unable to shift away.
When she had bumped into him just now, he could have dodged, but Li Zhen did not dodge. Or perhaps, he had deliberately let her bump into him.
“Why are you…”
Chen Qiao opened her mouth to ask how he happened to be here.
But as the words came out, she felt like she did not have the right to ask. After all, he was her sugar daddy.
His hot gaze so close at hand. Li Zhen lowered his eyes to look at Chen Qiao, who did not ask further. Of course, he knew what she wanted to ask.
If she asked, he would answer.
But if she did not ask, then he would not say.
Chen Qiao hesitated to speak, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward. Li Zhen was also the type with a tall and large build. Like Xu Yanqi, he loved to exercise, so the power that burst from his whole body also invisibly gave off a hormonal aura.
Chen Qiao kept her head down the whole time. She brushed the hair by her ear and, with furrowed brows, said to him, “Sorry, I just bumped into you.”
“Also, I saw the message you sent me, but I didn’t have time to reply.”
She always did not dare to look at him.
Li Zhen looked down at the top of her head, his indifferent voice saying, “Yeah.”
Besides responding to her words, Li Zhen never took the initiative to speak in normal times.
Chen Qiao furrowed her brows even more tightly. She racked her brains but could not think of what else to say to him, and yet Li Zhen did not take the initiative to leave.
In the end, it was the call from Xu Jiaming that saved her. She quickly raised her phone to him and said softly, “I still have work to do.”
In that instant, her eyes finally looked toward him, and he stared straight at her.
“Yeah.”
Again, an indifferent “yeah.”
Chen Qiao immediately brushed past his shoulder. She did not know why, but in front of Li Zhen, she always felt unconsciously nervous.
From the first time she saw him, she was nervous.
After learning that he was her biological brother, she was even more nervous.
Until she finally passed by his body. After just two steps away, the man gathered his rich voice and called out to her.
“Chen Qiao.”
In that instant, Chen Qiao’s whole body shivered.
She slowly turned around, but saw that after Li Zhen’s gaze gradually swept over her body, he reached out and handed her his coat—the suit jacket draped over the bend of his arm.
“Coat.”
The man said two words.
Chen Qiao was completely stunned. “Huh?”
At that moment, Li Zhen’s deep eyes looked at her. “It’s cold outside.”
