Chapter 218: Chapter 219 How Can You Be So Cute

Sheng Yan was already lying in bed after freshening up, though he had not yet changed into his pajamas and was still wearing his bathrobe.

The deep V-neck revealed nearly half of the man’s upper body, which made He Jinxia step back a few paces when she saw it and subconsciously turn her head away.

Having been in this world for so long, she really hadn’t seen a man so bare!

The last time she was alone with Sheng Yan, she was kiss-tousled while he, apart from some wrinkles on his shirt, hadn’t exposed anything.

Somehow, He Jinxia found herself recalling the scene where Sheng Yan lifted her chin the last time they were in the room together, and a few terms floated into her mind—

"Clothes-horse-beast," "cultured scum," and... "rogue"!

When Sheng Yan saw He Jinxia, he was about to say something when he noticed her turning her head away abruptly; his words stopped short, and he frowned.

"What’s wrong?" his deep and mellow voice came through the phone screen.

He Jinxia cleared her throat and, with a quick glance from the corner of her eye at Sheng Yan, noticed that his clothes were still the same, even more so as he moved forward, making the V-neck open even wider.

Faintly, she thought she could even see the hint of a mole on the man’s chest.

"Hiss—" He Jinxia sharply inhaled and immediately turned her head again, silently reminding herself, "look away from indecency." How could Sheng Yan dress like this?

Seeing the odd behaviour of Jinxia in the video, Sheng Yan’s brows furrowed with concern: "Jinxia, is something wrong with you?"

He Jinxia shook her head slightly, "No, really, there’s nothing wrong!"

Sheng Yan: "Then why won’t you turn your head to look at me?"

He Jinxia’s face flushed, her body felt restless; look at him?

Look at what, it’s not good-looking at all!

Rarely was the composed Jinxia truly startled by Sheng Yan. Modern women are open-minded, she had even seen photos of women in bikinis, which were hard to accept at first, but she forced herself to adapt.

Eventually, she got used to it.

But she wondered if it was because Luo You and Cheng Xiaohua had protected her so well, or she was so focused on filming that she didn’t seek out other things to watch. The movies and dramas she watched featured men and women in proper attire, so much so that until now...

She had only seen women dressed revealingly, never men.

Seeing such a "large-scale" view for the first time, nervousness was to be expected.

Sheng Yan waited for a while, and when He Jinxia still gave him only her back, he twisted his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Were you bullied? Are you crying? Or is there something wrong with your face?"

He paused and said in an ominous tone, "If you refuse to show me, I’ll come to see you tomorrow."

"No, that’s not necessary!" He Jinxia quickly shook her head.

Sheng Yan looked at her solemnly: "Then turn your head and look at me."

He Jinxia’s fingers slightly tightened, and she turned her head bit by bit. Nevertheless, she chose to cover her eyes with her hand and said in a stammering, mosquito-like voice:

"You, you hurry up and get dressed properly."

Sheng Yan was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, looked down, and didn’t think there was anything wrong with his bathrobe.

Staring at himself, Sheng Yan suddenly had an epiphany and, looking up with interest, asked, "Are you feeling shy?"

He Jinxia reflexively retorted, "Not at all! You’re all mine anyway, what do I have to be shy about!"

No sooner had the words left her mouth than He Jinxia couldn’t help but turn her head away again, looking quite annoyed. What had she just said!

In her ears, Sheng Yan’s low laughter came through the phone, making He Jinxia’s heartbeat accelerate.

So, she turned her head even further away.

Sheng Yan looked at her with an unstoppable smile on his face and teased, "Jinxia, didn’t you say that I’m all yours? So, what’s wrong with turning your head to look at me? I’ve already stripped everything off, and if you want me to strip everything off, I could——"

"Pervert!"

With a cry of annoyed embarrassment, the video call was immediately hung up.

Sheng Yan looked at the dark screen, the corners of his mouth still curled up.

He glanced down at his clothes again, and couldn’t help but chuckle. The sound of his laughter echoed around the room, mingled with a barely perceptible murmur.

"How could you be... so adorable."

Early the next morning, He Jinxia got ready to head out.

She had thought about it last night, she wasn’t busy with schedules recently, so taking a day off to take photos for Decorum wasn’t a big deal. Tony’s words made some sense, but even if Decorum were to be downgraded, that would happen later.

And by then, perhaps she would have started shooting photos for top-tier magazines.

As long as she continued to rise, taking a few magazine photos for a possibly downgrading Decorum wouldn’t affect her at all.

The fashion industry is cruel, but it’s still a little different from the entertainment circle.

Decorum needs her popularity, and she needs Decorum’s exposure; there’s no conflict between the two.

He Jinxia stood at the door, took out her keys and phone, made a call to Tony, and at the same time, opened the door.

Just as the door swung open, Tony picked up the phone with his usual enthusiasm, "Dear Princess Xiaxia, have you made your decision?"

He Jinxia inwardly marveled at Tony’s fervent and romantic nature, thinking how happy his husband Bruce must be with him, then she said,

"Mmm, I’ve thought it over, and since I’m free today, I might as well drop by Decorum to take a photo..."

"Knock knock!" Suddenly, there was a knocking sound. He Jinxia, who was engrossed in her phone call and opening the door without paying attention outside, was startled by the noise.

She looked up and saw Sheng Yan’s unrivaled handsome face come into view.

He Jinxia’s pupils shrank, and she almost lost her grip on her phone, which fell from her hand.

Noticing this, Sheng Yan swiftly bent down and caught her phone, a faint smile crossing his face as he handed it back to He Jinxia, casually raising the breakfast in his other hand.

He Jinxia looked at him with surprise and joy she couldn’t hide, "When did you——"

"Xiaxia, Xiaxia? What are you doing over there, why have you stopped talking suddenly?"

He Jinxia snapped back to reality and quickly said, "Oh, nothing. I just went to get a glass of water to drink."

Tony said, "Since you’ve decided to go for the photoshoot at Decorum, have you told Luo You? The car needs to be readied——"

"No!"

Without thinking, He Jinxia interrupted and glanced at Sheng Yan, then lowered her head as if nonchalantly and said, "I didn’t say I was going. I thought about it and decided not to go after all. You’re right, there’s no need to do the shoot."

So, it seemed, principles were made to be broken.

Ever since meeting Sheng Yan, He Jinxia found herself straying further on the path of contradicting herself.

Tony was a bit flustered, "Huh?"

He Jinxia looked up at Sheng Yan again, hurriedly pulled him into the room, and said cheerfully, "I’m not going. I’m taking a day off today, don’t look for me if it’s nothing important."

Tony was still a bit dazed and responded instinctively, "Oh, alright."

He was about to offer some advice when he heard the sound of the phone being hung up.

Tony looked at his phone and shrugged his shoulders, perhaps he had really misunderstood before.
