Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 366: Can’t Quit You! (6th Update)

Ji Rui shook his head, his deep eyes staring straight at her, as if wanting to peer into the depths of her eyes."Le Tong, I can’t quit, what should I do?"

Le Tong stared at him blankly, as if she did not understand his words.

However, anyone who heard such out-of-context words would be confused. Besides, Le Tong was already beginning to feel a bit sleepy, so it was quite normal for her mind to not process it quickly.

"Can’t quit what?"

Le Tong propped her cheek, tilted her head, and stared at Ji Rui with eyes curious like a baby, with slight mist.

Ji Rui’s heart couldn’t help but start to pound wildly.

Her eyes were already beautiful, but now, with a hint of moisture and a touch of blur, they looked even more enchanting and alluring.

Ji Rui instantly felt certain changes in his body, his eyes narrowing abruptly, the originally deep eyes shooting dangerous glimmers.

Fortunately, at this time, Le Tong was a little muddled, rarely becoming sluggish, seemingly unaware of the dangerous aura emanating from him. Unable to get his answer, she blinked and then frowned slightly, pondering.

In her foggy mind, she vaguely remembered that President Ji shouldn’t be smoking.

No matter how well a man hides it, there will always be some clues if he smokes.

Ji Rui’s fingers were very clean, without the slightest trace of smoke.

His breath was always fresh and clean, without the slightest sign of smoking.

He drank wine, but always in moderation. Le Tong had been with him for so long, and he’s only drunk to this extent like tonight about three or four times.

So, what exactly couldn’t he quit?

Le Tong’s curiosity aroused, she persistently asked again, "Mr. Ji, what is it that you can’t quit? Alcohol or smoking?"

Ji Rui tried to suppress the surge in his heart, took a deep breath, and fixed his gaze on her, "Do you really want to know?"

Unconsciously, his voice became much lower and hoarse.

Le Tong nodded foolishly, "Yes! I really want to know!"

Had it been daytime, as smart as she was, she surely wouldn’t foolishly keep stepping into danger. But at this moment, her mind had already begun to enter the half-asleep phase in preparation for sleep, so she persistently sought the truth despite Ji Rui reminding her multiple times.

Ji Rui couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly, put the steaming noodles on the coffee table, and beckoned with his fingers at Le Tong, who was full of curiosity.

"Want to know? Come over here, I’ll tell you!"

He said, patting the sofa beside him.

Le Tong widened her eyes, looked at him for a while, hesitated, but eventually stood up.

However, although her mind was somewhat muddled, it wasn’t entirely filled. She got up from the single sofa, moved a couple of steps, and sat down at the opposite end of the long sofa.

"Tell me then, what can’t you quit?"

This question seemed to become a curse on Le Tong’s mind, unable to rest until she got the answer.

At this moment, she even forgot to ask Ji Rui why he wasn’t eating the noodles, whether it was because they were bad or he was full, she forgot all these things, with only one question in her mind, what exactly couldn’t he quit.

Ji Rui rarely saw Le Tong in such a dazed state, with all her defenses down, which made the monster in his heart more rampant due to her lack of guard.

Seeing her leaning on the other side of the sofa, staring at him without blinking, Ji Rui’s eyes deepened, and he subtly sidled a bit closer.

Then, in the moment Le Tong had no time to react, he suddenly got up and leaned over, with one hand supporting the back of the sofa and the other supporting the armrest, trapping Le Tong firmly within his sphere of influence.

"Uh!" Le Tong was startled, panic flashing like a scared little deer in her eyes.

"Mr. Ji, what are you doing?" As she spoke, the half-asleep brain cells of Le Tong were finally scared back to work, her palm suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

Inwardly, she cursed herself for inviting the wolf into her home, in the middle of the night, not only had she invited the wolf in but also offered him hangover tea and noodles, and now, the wolf is sober, well-fed, and ready to show its claws.

Ji Rui’s eyes flashed, "Didn’t you want to know?"

Le Tong lifted her foot, wanting to kick him, but he detected it in time, pinning her slender leg easily with his long one. Le Tong then raised her other leg, which he equally easily restrained.

With such resistance from Le Tong, their positions became even more intimate and ambiguous.

She could even feel his scorching temperature passing through the thin fabric to her skin on her thighs, and amidst the heat, she faintly sensed the firmness and elasticity of his muscles.

Le Tong got a bit angry, raising both hands to press against Ji Rui’s solid chest, she cursed viciously, "Get lost, I don’t want to know anymore!"

Her current demeanor had a bit of bluffing in it.

Ji Rui remained absolutely still above her, his mouth slightly grinning, revealing an extremely mischievous smile.

"But, I want to tell you."

Le Tong turned her face away, futilely pushing him again, "Get lost, that’s your business, not mine, I don’t want to hear!"

Ji Rui’s grin deepened, the man who usually wore a cold face, now had even the corners of his eyes and brows filled with laughter. "Who said it’s none of your business? Hmm?!"

He withdrew his hand from the armrest and grabbed her hands pressed against his chest. Despite being one against two, Le Tong watched as he easily lifted her hands and flirtatiously pinned them to the sofa armrest.

And her whole body was forced into a semi-reclining position, their faces extremely close, eyes inevitably meeting his deep green gaze.

She had seen this kind of gaze from Ji Rui before, once, in his car, he looked at her like this, and then he forcibly kissed her!

Le Tong felt desperate, her skin tingling, but all her limbs that could be used for attacking or resisting were restrained by him, leaving seemingly only her mouth moveable.

She opened her mouth, intending to say something, but Ji Rui’s face suddenly leaned in, her mind exploded, thinking she would be forcibly kissed again today.

Unexpectedly, her nose tip felt warm, his lips rubbed lightly against it, then kissed it. Quickly, he pulled his face away, buried it next to her ear, breath warmly enveloping her neck, followed by his hoarse deep voice drilling into her eardrum.

"What I can’t quit isn’t smoke, isn’t wine, but you! Le Tong!"
