Lu Jincheng was not the type to enjoy listening to someone ramble, but Guan Yongyi was different. Her face was full of resentment, and with the added flush from alcohol, Lu Jincheng only felt that she was glowing, exuding a unique hormone that stimulated his senses.
Instead of pitying Guan Yongyi in her pitiful state, Lu Jincheng felt an urge to conquer and ravage her, an impulse only carnivores would feel towards their prey.
Yet Lu Jincheng wouldn't show this emotion outwardly. Externally, he remained a listener happy to lend an ear, occasionally chiming in to egg her on, guiding Guan Yongyi to continue venting her emotions.
