Chapter 196 I'm Lacking a Man

• Abruptly hearing the sound of running water from the room beside her, Ye Lin was slightly thrilled. Lifting a hand, she knocked on the door to ask for directions. Subsequently, she heard the water stop, and the door was swung open in the next instance. A pair of legs that were still dripping water came into her line of sight, followed by abdominal muscles when she raised her head higher, and finally, Ning Shaochen’s grim eyes. She couldn’t help swallowing and gazing at him rather greedily, forgetting to conceal her instinctive reaction to him.
• “It looks like you’re lacking a man, Miss Ye?” After saying that, the man turned around and took a cigarette from the desk and lit it, holding it between his thin lips as the smoke lingered on the tip of his tongue. He then studied the woman before him with narrowed eyes.
• Lacking a man? The corners of Ye Lin’s mouth subconsciously curved upward. Yes, she was lacking a man; she was lacking him! Raising her head, her eyes met Ning Shaochen’s gaze. When she caught sight of the cigarette between his fingers, however, she instinctively frowned. After he’d gotten together with her, he’d promised her not to smoke anymore, so what was this? “Smoking is bad for health,” she blurted her inner thoughts without thinking about it.
