He just had chest pain earlier. Was he fine now? What if he fainted in the study or his room and there was no one around him to notice it?
Ruka immediately got out of bed and put on her woolen shoes before rushing out. She went straight to the study where Ren might be and gently turned the door knob, but he was no longer inside.
Was he back in his room? With a strange burst of courage, Ruka sped toward his bedroom.
When she reached the door of his bedroom, she took a deep breath. Thinking that making sure of his safety was the most important thing no matter what, she knocked on the door.
However, when the door was opened from the inside, what Ruka saw was not a fully-dressed man, but a man who had just taken a shower, with only a towel
wrapped around his waist. His dark hair was still dripping with water, and her gaze immediately landed on his strong muscles and distinct six-pack.
“Ahh!” Ruka hurriedly covered her face and turned her back to him. I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose. I was just worried about you, so I came to check on you.
Ren’s lips curled upward, causing his charming dimples to appear. This woman was quite brave for daring to knock on his door late at night.
“Aren’t you here to see me? Why aren’t you looking?” His deep and seductive voice sounded from behind.
Ruka shook her head. How would she dare to look?
“Hiss.” All of a sudden, she heard him hiss under his breath in pain.
Ruka instinctively let go of the hand that was covering her eyes and turned to look behind only to see a handsome face with a somewhat cheeky smile. He was just acting.
“You…” Ruka felt both angry and frustrated.
“Come in.” Ren’s voice was slightly hoarse, and it was gentle yet bossy.
Of course, Ruka didn’t dare to go in! The atmosphere around him felt too dangerous, and she didn’t want to…
Before she could finish thinking about it, he reached out and grabbed onto her slender arm, his force causing her whole body to stumble into his broad chest, and the door behind her slammed shut soon after.
All she could smell was the minty fragrance of his freshly showered body. as well as his masculine scent. Her breathing quickened, and her brain was buzzing as she didn’t know how to react. Should she push him, or should she allow him to hold her like this?
“Would you like to have a drink with me?” Ren asked her in a low voice, before letting her go.
Ruka looked up at the wine cabinet next to the couch in the bedroom, where there was an open bottle of red wine. It seemed that he had a habit of drinking red wine before going to bed.
“I-It’s fine.” She waved her arms in refusal. The atmosphere was already strange, and if they drank any wine, she wouldn’t be able to deal with it.
“Are you afraid that I’d eat you?” Ren curled his lips and smiled. “Although I really want to, I’ll respect your wishes.”
He also meant that as long as Ruka agreed, he would do anything.
