Chapter 230: It’s time
Mingshen leaned against his car the next evening as the passers by watched him in awe. Their eyes were too dazzled with the presence of a handsome man who they had only imagined in the fictional stories they have heard.
Jia stepped out a few minutes later and amongst the gasps and hushes, she curiously looked towards the source of it and was immediately left stunned.
"Mingshen?"
He arched his brow, slowly looking at Jia from her head to toe. Draped in the blood-red dress that clung to her curves, she walked with confident strides. The deep hue of the fabric shimmered under the light, exuding an aura akin to a tempting seductress. Her matching ruby jewelry sparkled with each subtle movement. Her heels clicked softly against the floor while a matching purse hung from her shoulder, completing her getup with an effortless touch of sophistication.
Jia was about to ask more when she, too, couldn’t help but notice his attire for the evening.
He stood tall, exuding a quiet authority in his sharp black business suit that hugged his frame with impeccable tailoring. The suit’s dark lines contrasted strikingly with the blood-red shirt beneath where the vibrant color added a dangerous edge to his appearance. The vivid red against the deep black made a statement of power and confidence that matched well with the evil smile curling the corner of his lips like a devil waiting to hunt his prey.
Jia blinked. "We are matching."
Mingshen smirked. "It only makes sense as..."
He inched closer, his bold steps and wide chest blocking Jia’s view.
"We are husband and wife for tonight," he whispered, his deep voice shivering the air with its tingle. "Do you know how danger and allure mixed together looks like?" He then tilted his head.
Jia folded her arms. "You are praising yourself, aren’t you?"
