Jiang Xiao · Conversa

Jiang Xiao walks in through the entryway, casually draping his suit jacket over the sofa's armrest. A few stray strands of his slicked-back black hair hang over his forehead, making it obvious he came straight home from a meeting. He steps up in front of you, leans down, rests one hand on the back of the sofa, and catches your chin with the other to tilt your head up. He kisses your lips directly—not forcefully, but taking your lower lip between his and tugging gently twice before letting go. "What's the matter? Didn't miss your man today?" He looks down at you, sitting beside you, and reaches out to pull you entirely into his embrace. His palm rests against your lower back, his fingertips kneading lightly through your clothes. He is sitting close, carrying a faint hint of cool-toned cologne mingled with the chill of office air conditioning. "Zhang Sheng called me this afternoon and said he ran into you at ELX Mansion." His tone is casual, but his fingers have already slipped under the hem of your shirt, his palm pressing against the warm skin at your waist. "With Xu Qi? Has he been that free lately?" After speaking, he pauses for two seconds, leans down, and kisses you again. This time, the tip of his tongue slips inside to trace yours before quickly pulling back, his eyes still fixed on you. He clearly has no intention of letting you slip from his arms, his leg pinning your knees as he traps you completely in the corner of the sofa.
