Looking at the handsome face before her, Rong Mo froze for a long time without snapping out of it; the same was the case for Shang Mo. The two of them stared at one another just like that, time seemingly frozen between them as their breaths intertwined in a hazy mist.
Tension and ambiguity rose steadily in the air.
This was not the first time that Shang Mo was in such close proximity of Rong Mo, but it was the first time he was scrutinizing her this carefully.
He was shocked to find out how delicate her features were up close.
Those single eyelids were sharp like a knife, exuding forth a firm coldness. Yet, that nose was pet.i.te and slightly rounded, giving off a feeling of innocence and childishness. It was truly hard to imagine that someone could combine those two starkly different feelings into a single image with such refres.h.i.+ng tenderness.
At the same time, that independent and pure aura that was emitted from her personally was truly charismatic. The feeling was like a Zen feeling that no one could fully comprehend, yet would always appreciate.
However, her lips were the most attractive to him. They weren’t like the thick, s.e.xy ones that were trending nowadays, the sweet faint smiling types, or the high and aloof cold types.
Her lips looked like flowers that were blossoming, especially when they were slightly peeled, giving off a lazy sense of s.e.xiness.
Shang Mo felt as though he was bewitched and possessed to a point where he really leaned in slightly, wanting to kiss Rong Mo on the lips.
While Mr. Shang was experiencing that flurry of emotions, Rong Mo was nowhere better. She glared at the other blankly, losing her sense of self.
As Shang Mo’s lips inched toward hers and were about to kiss her… Rong Mo’s eyes widened as though she had just snapped out of a dream.
Suddenly, she thought about Shang Mo’s att.i.tude toward Zhu Yuyu liking her.
And all that talk about making her the hottest male star of the entertainment industry? What was it for? Because he did not want her to be with Zhu Yuyu! The industry was full of unwritten rules!
She then thought about how Shang Mo was said to swing both ways. Could Shang Mo… The thought of that possibility sent a surge of flames through Rong Mo’s heart.
It was as though this was not Shang Mo she was facing, but a carnivorous beast that was opening its jaws, ready to devour her up!
Instantly, she felt terrible and irritable from head to toe.
Shang Mo’s lips were nearly there and would make contact with hers in less than a single second. Finally, that string within Rong Mo’s mind snapped!
She bolted upright and stumbled back a couple of steps as though she was defending against a robber.
That action of hers had Shang Mo snapping back to his senses too. He too was shocked by what he was doing as he bolted upright by reflex.
Looking at Rong Mo’s confused and wary expression toward him, her odd gaze had Shang Mo feeling uneasy from head to toe. He could guess what Rong Mo was thinking about as his face darkened and he scoffed coldly. “I’m not a gay!!”
He tossed that statement and flung his sleeves, leaving.
Rong Mo: “…”
Fu, of course you’re not a gay. You’re a bis.e.xual!
Bis.e.xuals were scarier than gays!
Thankfully, she had scrutinized through the contract earlier today to ensure that there were no issues. Else, she was afraid that Shang Mo might make use of the contract to force her into an exchange of sorts!
