Chapter 392: Testing the Waters 7
Qi Qingyao was getting annoyed and was about to say something.
Then a soft finger poked her in the face.
Qi Qingyao, “…”
‘He’s poking my face? What is this?’
The long finger poked her smooth and white face before quickly retracting. After confirming that there was no response from the girl, he did it again. This time, it was not a poke, but a caress.
It was like he was using his thumb and index finger together to squeeze her face gently.
Qi Qingyao was acting like a tool, but now felt like she had become a toy…that was being played with by Lu Yan!
She could not reveal any emotion nor could she react because that would scare him…
…
Lu Yan was indeed standing in front of her, looking at Qi Qingyao for a moment. After making sure that the little woman was not moving nor speaking after he had treated her as a tool, he then began scrutinizing the girl with the black cloth on her face with the gaze of an ordinary person.
The young woman sat on the chair, both her hands bound to the armrests. Both her legs were also bound. There was a blindfold across her face. Her slightly downturned lips looked somewhat downcast. Looking at her this way, she looked pitiable, but also cute.
He did not say anything.
Qi Qingyao, who was tied up, was also quite obediently quiet.
Lu Yan had never really been interested in men. Looking at the black cloth on the young woman’s face, he thought about how she usually was, clever and cunning, her flitting glances occasionally fierce. Now, there was a black cloth covering her eyes, also hiding her swift and fierce aura, which made her look particularly frail.
He reached out his hand tentatively to jab her.
After jabbing her a few times, he went on to pinch her.
The young woman remained silent as usual.
Lu Yan finally became more self-assured. He took in the appearance of the bound person who was behaving like a toy in front of him and spoke with awe.
“Are all women’s faces so soft?”
“…”
Qi Qingyao jumped internally from fright.
“Do all you women also have such great hairlines? Or is it only yours that is so great? Obviously, I’ve seen Jiang Siliu, the ladies of the Han family, and many young girls in Northern Liang who have relatively high foreheads and average hair. But your hairline is particularly beautiful.”
“…”
Beautiful hairline? Was this praise? Qi Qingyao was very doubtful.
“You have such a soft face that’s also fair. Pinching it definitely feels much nicer than doing it to a man.”
“…”
Her face once again got pinched. There was darkness in front of her eyes now. Qi Qingyao somehow felt that his words were quite perverse.
Just as she thought of this, her hand was gripped and pulled up, as if it were being observed.
“Your fingers are delicate and fair, and your knuckles are also very shapely.”
“…”
What kind of praise was this?
It was praise for her body parts…
“Your ears are also quite good-looking.”
“…”
Qi Qingyao thought, ‘Dude, just keep your praise short and simple. Don’t you think it’s a bit too much?’
“Do women all smell this nice? You smell a lot better than men. Did you put on some powder?”
“…”
Oi oi oi, how close exactly was he getting to her now?
How could he smell her?
That said, she did not even smell like anything! She had been so insanely busy recently—how could she have time to apply fragrance powder? He was better off saying she smelled like medicine!
“Although you smell a bit like medicine.”
“…”
If his nose was still working fine, he was salvageable!
Qi Qingyao was done with all the silent cursing. Suddenly, she felt a finger move directly over the black cloth, touching her eyebrows, before slowly moving down to touch her eyes, then nose, then her lips…
