187: Chapter 187 I couldn't help it, I couldn't help it!

Liu Zijun looked at the stubbornness and desire in Jessica Jung's eyes, and his heart fell into a dilemma.

He didn't want to hurt Jessica Jung, nor did he want to make Krystal Jung sad, and he certainly didn't want to make the already complicated relationship even more chaotic and uncontrollable.

But Jessica Jung's persistence was like a huge boulder pressing on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He felt himself becoming more and more confused and lost.

There were too many women around him, which left him a bit at a loss.

The internal struggle was almost enough to swallow him whole.

He knew that once he agreed to Jessica Jung, it would mean a new round of chaos was about to begin.

But if he didn't agree, seeing her so heartbroken and desperate, he couldn't bear it.

Seeing that he didn't refuse immediately, a glimmer of hope flashed in Jessica Jung's eyes. She reached out and gently stroked his cheek, her movements gentler than her usual self.

"Liu Zijun, give me a chance, okay? I just want to stay by your side and be good to you quietly."

Liu Zijun closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Images of Choi Sulli's sweetness, Im Yoona's cuteness, Son Ye-jin's gentleness, and Krystal Jung's shyness flashed through his mind.

Finally, he opened his eyes and looked at Jessica Jung with a complex gaze, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness and compromise: "Let me think about it."

These few words were like a ray of dawn, causing Jessica Jung's eyes to light up instantly.

She nodded hurriedly, as if afraid he would go back on his word: "Okay, I'll wait for your answer. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait."

Liu Zijun didn't say anything more. He just turned back to his seat and picked up his knife and fork, but he no longer had any appetite.

Jessica Jung also returned to her seat, a faint, imperceptible smile appearing on her face as she began to eat slowly.

She knew that Liu Zijun's resolve had weakened. As long as she added a little more fuel to the fire, she would definitely be able to stay by his side.

The atmosphere in the private room gradually eased, yet a subtle tension still lingered.

The meal ended in silence and a subtle atmosphere.

Liu Zijun settled the bill, and the two of them walked out of the restaurant together.

The night breeze was slightly cool, blowing against his face and clearing Liu Zijun's head a bit.

Liu Zijun said, "I'll take you back."

Jessica Jung nodded, not refusing.

As the car drove on the way home, the two of them still didn't speak, but the atmosphere was much more relaxed than during dinner.

When they reached Jessica Jung's apartment building, she didn't get out immediately. Instead, she turned to look at Liu Zijun, her eyes filled with expectation.

"Want to come up for a bit?"

Liu Zijun looked at her, remained silent for a long time, and then nodded gently.

Jessica Jung laughed. This was the first time tonight she had shown such a genuine smile, like the warm sun after the snow melts, exceptionally moving.

When the apartment door was pushed open, the sensor light in the entryway slowly lit up, its warm yellow light outlining the simple interior layout.

It was clear that this was a place where the two sisters lived together; many of Krystal Jung's shoes were arranged on the shoe rack.

Jessica Jung handed Liu Zijun a pair of guest slippers, then walked straight to the wine cabinet in the living room and took out a bottle of red wine.

She didn't look for a glass, but uncorked it directly and took a large gulp.

Liu Zijun stood in the middle of the living room, his gaze sweeping over the photo of the sisters hanging on the wall. In the photo, Krystal Jung smiled innocently, and Jessica Jung also smiled brightly, looking like a completely different person from the tipsy woman before him.

Just as he was about to say something, Jessica Jung had already put down the wine bottle and was walking toward him step by step.

Her steps were slightly unsteady from the alcohol, yet exceptionally firm.

Was this woman drinking to bolster her courage?

When she reached him, she didn't stop. Instead, she stood slightly on her tiptoes, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her body against his.

The softness of her chest was clearly felt through the thin clothing, instantly entangling Liu Zijun's senses.

Jessica Jung's voice was raspy with alcohol, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe.

"Liu Zijun, what are you still thinking about?"

"You clearly have feelings for me too, don't you?"

Liu Zijun instinctively wanted to push her away, but his wrists were held firmly by her.

As if gambling with all her courage, Jessica Jung used a bit of strength in her knees and actually straddled him.

This bold and intimate posture caused Liu Zijun's breathing to become heavy instantly.

He could clearly feel the softness and warmth of her body, and her rapid heartbeat transmitting through her chest, gradually syncing with his own.

"That night in Hong Kong Island, you clearly didn't resist me. Now, why are you still pretending to be indifferent?"

Her fingertips gently traced his cheek with a trembling probe, then slowly moved down, undoing the first button of his shirt.

The moment their skin touched, Jessica Jung couldn't help but shudder, as if an electric current had surged through her.

Images of Krystal Jung's shy face, Choi Sulli's smile, and Im Yoona's cuteness flashed through Liu Zijun's mind, but these thoughts gradually blurred under Jessica Jung's burning gaze.

He admitted that the woman before him, who had let down all her defenses and possessed a desperate courage, had completely ignited his suppressed desires.

He stopped struggling, his hands instinctively circling her waist, pulling her even closer.

This action seemed to give Jessica Jung immense encouragement. She lowered her head and kissed his lips—no longer a shy probe, but filled with intense obsession and desire, domineeringly plundering his breath.

Liu Zijun also lost his rationality. He pinned Jessica Jung against the sofa and deepened the kiss.

Can't help it, really can't help it!

Only the heavy breathing of the two and the rustling of clothes remained in the living room. The night view outside the window became a blurred backdrop; all complications and concerns were thrown to the back of their minds at this moment.

Jessica Jung closed her eyes, completely sinking into this long-awaited intimacy.

She could feel Liu Zijun's possessiveness and his long-suppressed emotions.

This made her ecstatic; all her grievances, resentment, and jealousy vanished in an instant.

She knew she had won her gamble.

This man, after all, had been moved by her.

After an unknown amount of time, everything finally settled down.

Jessica Jung curled up in Liu Zijun's arms, covered by his coat, her cheeks flushed with a satisfied glow.

Her voice carried a hint of lazy raspiness, and her eyes were filled with deep tenderness.

"Liu Zijun, you're finally mine."

Liu Zijun didn't speak. He just gently patted her back, his gaze looking out the window with complexity.

He knew that from this moment on, the relationship between him, Jessica Jung, and Krystal Jung had become completely complicated.

Perhaps some obsessions were meant to be completely dissolved on a night like this.

Jessica Jung looked up, met his complex gaze, and kissed his chin with a smile.

"Don't think too much. I won't force you to do anything. I just want to stay by your side, just like Im Yoona and the others, and quietly accompany you."

Looking at the sincerity in her eyes, the heaviness in Liu Zijun's heart lightened slightly. He reached out to ruffle her hair, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness but also hiding an imperceptible tenderness.

"In the future, don't be so impulsive again."

Jessica Jung smiled broadly, leaning back into his arms. Listening to his heartbeat, she gradually closed her eyes.
