At this moment, on the other end of the phone, Xu Ruobing looked incredibly alluring, lying weak and delicate on the bed.
Against the light-colored quilt, she wore a sexy black long dress, simple in design without any embellishments, perfectly outlining the curves of her body.
Though it seemed as if she had already finished washing up and was just lying down, the beautiful woman drew her eyeliner, applied red lipstick, and pinned up her long hair.
She lazily half-closed her eyes, staring straight into the camera.
The gaze she gave the lens was breathtakingly stunning and irresistibly captivating. Xu Ruobing was showing Jiang Lai her most flawless side.
There was so much in Xu Ruobing’s eyes—sweet floral dew, all the softness and beauty of the world.
She looked into the camera as if staring at the person she loved most deeply.
She lay on the bed with the most unguarded posture, the black form-fitting long dress clinging to her.
One hand rested helplessly on the bed, her chin slightly lifted, her exposed neck and shoulders radiating sensuality.
The whole scene looked both passionate and restrained.
Jiang Lai stared blankly, perhaps for just a moment, or maybe for several seconds, before all she could hear was the chaotic beating of her own heart.
She couldn’t help but clutch the fabric of her sleeve tightly.
Even through the screen, this scene instantly captured Jiang Lai’s entire attention and filled her heart.
It was clear that such a seductive image made her own mind flood with improper thoughts.
Jiang Lai anxiously turned her head away.
Just now… seeing that goddess-like beauty who seemed too divine to be touched, she couldn’t help but recall how Xu Ruobing had teased her in the car.
The stark contrast left Jiang Lai’s heart fluttering.
The vivid image she had just seen lingered in her mind, naturally intertwining with the memory of Xu Ruobing’s teasing earlier.
Jiang Lai closed her eyes and turned her head away.
On the other end of the video call, Xu Ruobing saw this and couldn’t help but laugh softly.
Jiang Lai was truly adorable…
Before making the call, Xu Ruobing had thought a lot about how Jiang Jiang would react on camera, but she never expected such innocence.
They were both adults, yet Jiang Lai seemed not to understand the meaning behind her outfit.
“Jiang Jiang, don’t you think I look good tonight? Why did you close your eyes? If your eyes are closed, how are we supposed to practice?” Xu Ruobing’s soft, lazy voice sounded sticky and enticing, causing Jiang Lai’s heart to race wildly.
Jiang Lai didn’t even need to open her eyes to watch the video.
In her mind, she could already picture Xu Ruobing’s expression at this moment: her seductive eye tails, her slightly nasal voice, and that incredibly sexy body.
Xu Ruobing’s charm could only be described as demonic.
Even after spending so much time together, even though Jiang Lai had mentally prepared herself, Xu Ruobing’s occasional radiance was something Jiang Lai simply couldn’t handle.
Every smile and frown could stir her heart, and just standing there, with only her beautiful peach blossom eyes exposed, Xu Ruobing attracted all the attention around her.
But Jiang Lai had no idea that what looked like Xu Ruobing’s casual laziness was actually all deliberate.
After all, who would apply a bright lipstick just to lie down before sleeping?
If Jiang Lai knew anything about makeup, she would have easily noticed Xu Ruobing’s intention.
But when it came to makeup, Jiang Lai was completely clueless and naturally couldn’t see through it.
“Since you’re shy, I’ll just put on something simple. You’ve already seen everything you should.”
After saying this, Xu Ruobing turned off the video on her end.
When Jiang Lai reopened her eyes, she saw Xu Ruobing had already thrown on a loose-knit sweater over the thin black camisole she was originally wearing.
Xu Ruobing faced the camera sideways, her hair half-tied and loose strands falling around her neck and shoulders, outlining her delicate jawline.
The oversized knit sweater loosely wrapped her figure, like a stunning painting.
Yet this sexy image still tempted one to explore more of her soft beauty.
Jiang Lai pressed her lips together, unable to stop the tightness in her throat.
Though dressed much more modestly, why did she seem even more heart-stirring than before?
“Jiang Jiang, is this outfit okay now?”
“Of course it’s fine. Let’s go over the procedure now.”
Regarding the livestream the day after tomorrow, there were many things to be mindful of, but in summary, it all boiled down to two words: cooperation.
No matter how hard Jiang Lai tried, she couldn’t match Xu Ruobing’s professionalism cultivated over so many years.
In the end, Xu Ruobing would lead everything, and Jiang Lai only needed to cooperate, responding and following Xu Ruobing’s rhythm as much as possible.
Jiang Lai now spoke mostly about the details she had memorized these past few days, and confirmed once again what could and couldn’t be said.
Meanwhile, Xu Ruobing smiled and nodded quietly at the screen, her gaze never leaving Jiang Lai’s soft pink lips that parted and closed gently.
She seemed to want to cover that softness.
As for the specific words Jiang Lai was saying, Xu Ruobing didn’t pay much attention.
Jiang Lai was still seriously discussing work, but Xu Ruobing’s mind had long since drifted elsewhere.
Her whole heart was focused on Jiang Lai alone.
At this moment, Jiang Lai looked incredibly gentle, her eyes mild and her entire demeanor unbelievably tender.
Her voice was sweet and delicate, as if she were constantly coaxing Xu Ruobing, sounding syrupy and charming.
Compared to Xu Ruobing’s cool and refreshing appearance, Jiang Lai wore obviously more clothes, wrapped in loose, soft, obviously warm layers.
Yet those thick clothes only made Jiang Lai appear smaller and more serene.
Xu Ruobing truly, truly wanted to hold her in her arms—surely that would be so warm.
Soft, gentle, graceful—at this moment, all these words felt insufficient to describe the beauty of Jiang Lai.
Xu Ruobing’s mind wandered into all sorts of fantasies, but when she snapped back to reality, she realized a chaotic heat had spread between her legs, her body flushing bright red.
Sure enough, the tender feelings from the evening still affected her now…
Quietly, Xu Ruobing took out a silicone “Little Monster” from her drawer.
Her slender, beautiful fingers gently squeezed the “Little Monster,” slowly turning mischievous, stealthily sending it to her disheveled place.
She wanted Jiang Lai, and she wanted to be entwined with Jiang Lai…
Back in the car that evening, Xu Ruobing had put on the guise of a righteous gentleman, so upright and just.
But now, how disheveled and wild she felt—it was clear she had been pretending far too much…
