Entering the spacious and luxurious bedroom, the cold air was not as frightening as she had imagined.
She thought it was because he was holding her. Although Luo's hands were still cold, he held her tightly, and this feeling made her vaguely aware of her importance in his heart.
Her hand gripped his coat. She glanced up secretly and saw Luo's angry gray eyes.
He had been frowning like this since earlier, and she didn't understand…
"Ah…" She fell onto the soft bed with a thud and protested softly.
"You… do you just like dealing with different men?" Luo's deep eyes narrowed tightly. He scrutinized the person beneath him.
Ivina couldn't respond; she was confused by this unexpected question.
"Hmph... Sike can, Pu Jiao can, whether it's a lowly servant or a noble count, do you want to seduce them all?"
At that moment.
He looked at her, just a lowly human woman.
She looked at him, but he resembled a majestic king.
In that moment, she was startled, but quickly regained her composure, feeling wronged and angry at his accusation.
Regardless of his identity, he had no right to insult her with such words.
The faint sweetness in her heart was completely crushed by his words.
"Luo Dandel. What you said was too much. Please take it back now." When her dignity was trampled upon, she would muster the courage to defend it, no matter who the other person was.
On her, there was nothing left but dignity...
"How dare you speak to me like that?" The surprise on his face fleeted, and he lifted her chin, ignoring the tears already welling up in her beautiful black eyes.
"No matter who you are, I would say the same…" She struggled to hold back her tears, hating herself for being so weak and vulnerable.
"Very well, you are the first person to dare call me by my full name, and you're just an unknown woman." His handsome face drew closer to hers, as if he could taste the sweetness of her breath.
They stared at each other, and he wished time would freeze in that moment.
"Ivina…" Once he got close enough to "admire" her, a sense of pleasure filled his heart uncontrollably. Lo's expression gradually softened, and the anger from earlier faded. Because he knew that the truest thing was that he could now hold her tightly in his arms. From the moment he first saw her, she had already been marked as his possession.
The pressure on Ivina's chin gradually lessened, until it was nothing more than a gentle caress.
He gently pressed his lips against hers. He felt a little helpless. Was this his concession? His first concession to a woman...
But to his surprise, Ivina struggled fiercely.
"Let go... of me, don't!"
One moment it was a doubtful question, the next an unprovoked kiss—what would come next?
She couldn't understand him…
But Luo's grip grew tighter. He remained as domineering as ever. Ivina closed her eyes tightly, unable to resist the passion in his kiss.
Her hands slowly tangled in his black hair, responding awkwardly to him.
After a long time, she opened her eyes and stroked his handsome face.
"Luo, who are you?"
This man who was tightly hugging her, this man who was rudely teasing her, ignoring her dignity, this man who was sometimes domineering and sometimes gentle… She wanted to know who he was. Which side was the real him?
