Chapter 59 Can you tone down the kissing a bit?

After lunch, Jiang Qingying started to feel sleepy and yawned several times.

Lu Jinyuan tidied up quickly and poured her a glass of warm water: "I'll stay with you for a while before I leave."

Having experienced the awkwardness that had just occurred, she didn't dare to say anything more this time.

Jiang Qingying sipped her warm water, looked up at him with her beautiful fox-like eyes, and smiled, "Okay."

Lu Jinyuan put his arm around her shoulder. Even though it was his first time in her lounge, he acted as if he knew the place well. He helped her take off her coat, then took off his own, and tucked them both into the blankets.

"Go to sleep." He patted her shoulder and said gently, "I'll wake you up in a bit."

Jiang Qingying buried her face in his chest and quietly took a few breaths, her nostrils instantly filled with his unique fir scent. "Pregnant women can't soak in hot springs, but you can. I'll just sit here and chat with you."

She mentioned that they would travel together sometime in a while.

Lu Jinyuan curled his lips into a smile, his deep voice laced with amusement: "Alright, I'll make the arrangements."

"I was thinking that we could get together in the evenings to brew some tea and play some cards or something."

"Yes, if there's anything else you'd like to do, just tell me."

"...I want to have a barbecue."

This time, Lu Jinyuan didn't respond immediately. He looked down at her, his eyes conveying a subtle "disagreement."

"I'll just eat a little," Jiang Qingying said domineeringly. "I checked online beforehand, and it's okay to eat a little."

Lu Jinyuan stared at her for a while, and seeing that she was determined to eat it all, he had no choice but to give in: "Alright."

Jiang Qingying was delighted and hid her face in his arms, giggling, "That's all I can think of for now."

"It's okay." Lu Jinyuan ruffled the hair at the back of her head. "Tell me when you think of something."

Jiang Qingying hummed in agreement, then fell into a brief silence.

Should she say something more?

She thought for a long time before deciding what to say to him. She stretched out her arms from under the covers, hugged his neck, and observed his quiet and handsome face with his eyes closed.

"What's wrong?" Even with his eyes closed, Lu Jinyuan could feel her unwavering gaze.

Jiang Qingying bit her lip, raised her head and reached up, her crimson lips landing precisely on his, giving him a light, fleeting kiss devoid of passion, "...You're so good."

I felt somewhat ashamed.

It took me ages to come up with those three words, and even when I said them, they were sincere yet carried an uncontrollable awkwardness.

Lu Jinyuan's lips curled slightly.

"I'm not a good person." He still didn't open his eyes, tightened his grip on her, and whispered in her ear, "I'm just being nice to you."

Jiang Qingying's earlier tantrum subsided, and she felt as if she had eaten a very sweet candy, her heart filled with sweetness.

Perhaps some questions that can't be asked can be answered by finding the answers yourself.

-

I took a nap for an hour at noon.

Lu Jinyuan wasn't in a deep sleep. He automatically opened his eyes when he estimated that it was about time, and after his eyes adjusted to the light, he immediately looked for the face of the person in his arms.

The indoor heating was on in the winter. He brushed away the messy strands of hair from Jiang Qingying's face with his slender fingers. She was used to sleeping without makeup, so she went to the bathroom to remove it before getting into bed. At this moment, her face was bare of makeup, and her fair cheeks were glowing with a rosy blush from the warmth of the heating.

He couldn't resist lowering his head and kissing her, then his lips slowly moved down to her full lips, where he gently rubbed them. "Get up."

Her voice was hoarse from just waking up, and the few words, spoken lightly, reached the ears of the sleeping person as if they were from a dream, so she didn't react much.

Lu Jinyuan, mindful of her tendency to oversleep during her pregnancy, allowed her to sleep a little longer.

When Jiang Qingying finally woke up, it was an hour and a half later. Her sleepy eyes stared blankly at the ceiling. As she gradually regained consciousness, she realized that someone was sitting next to her.

She turned her head and saw Lu Jinyuan sitting against the headboard with a laptop on his lap. She glanced out the window again; the sunlight was blocked by the dark curtains, making it impossible to tell the time, but her intuition told her that it must be quite late.

It's almost three o'clock.

Lu Jinyuan had already answered before she asked the question.

"..." Jiang Qingying rubbed her head, feeling somewhat annoyed. The usually serious and meticulous boss would almost never be so relaxed and carefree on a weekday, or even in the office, taking a nap for most of the afternoon.

Why didn't you wake me up?

"You're sleeping so soundly." Lu Jinyuan tucked her blanket in. "I asked Zhou Yu, and he said you didn't have any meetings this afternoon, so I let you sleep without worry."

They are very considerate.

The warm blankets made her want to stay there, and she rubbed her cheek against the soft sheets, her voice muffled: "Why do I feel more and more sleepy the more I sleep?"

"Then let's do something to bring you to your senses."

Lu Jinyuan spoke quickly, and she didn't react for a moment. It wasn't until she saw him bend down, take the laptop that was originally on his lap with one hand, and casually place it on the bedside table that she understood what he was going to do. Before she could even refuse, her mouth was sealed with a kiss.

"Mmm..." Jiang Qingying frowned, her voice softening and becoming sticky from his kisses, as she accused him, "Why did you bite me?"

Lu Jinyuan's chest trembled slightly, and he let out a series of breathy laughs. "Are you awake now?"

That's a rhetorical question.

I'm not sleepy anymore, but that doesn't mean I'm awake. My brain, which was originally full of drowsiness, is gradually replaced by special emotions, filled to the brim with a chaotic feeling of desire almost overflowing.

How could I possibly stay sober!

"Could you tone down the kissing a bit?" Jiang Qingying actually meant to remind him, but the words inexplicably took on a different meaning as they reached her lips.

Lu Jinyuan was still in an extremely good mood, kissing her. He no longer focused on her lips; his warm tongue released its entanglement and instead showered her with delicate and burning kisses all over her body.

After a long while, Lu Jinyuan finally stopped, holding her and breathing heavily, his thin lips, wet with sweat, exhaling hot breath: "No more kissing."

He wasn't saying this to Jiang Qingying, but rather he was admonishing himself.

He still retained some rationality and conscience.

She's pregnant, so I can't touch her.

"I already warned you." Jiang Qingying felt uncomfortable from his burning body and pushed him away, continuing to nag, "You insisted on suffering for yourself, you deserve it."

As soon as she finished speaking, the hard object pressing against her lower abdomen moved, her cheeks flushed red, and she punched the culprit hard in the chest: "You're so annoying!"

"You just said I was really nice," Lu Jinyuan corrected her seriously.

Jiang Qingying turned her face away, "It's not good at all!"

Lu Jinyuan pulled her hand down, coaxing her in an extremely pleading tone, "Wife, please help me, okay?"

Jiang Qingying froze, and then a scalding heat, like an electric current, surged from her palms throughout her body, leaving her feeling numb and tingling, as if her bones had disappeared.

She was almost in tears, "You're so annoying!"

Men do have a conscience, but it's not very common.
