Chapter 176: Extra Chapter 22: Happy New Year

Cheng Sangluo obeyed his wife's mischievous command and obediently lay down with his back turned.

She buried her face in her arms, her heart pounding with anxiety, unsure of what would happen next, yet anticipating that her lover would unleash his wildest and most unrestrained side tonight.

Yes, that woman's nature has never changed; she's still the same crazy woman who can't control herself once she starts acting up.

Lin Jin glanced at the well-behaved puppy, then turned her attention back to the backpack. There seemed to be something inside that she hadn't taken out yet, so she curiously rummaged through it again.

With the clanging of metal parts, she pulled out a dog-ear-shaped headband, which led to more unusual items, including a matching tail with a realistic, fluffy texture that felt quite nice to the touch.

In addition, she also found something even more exciting – an I-shaped leather neck brace.

Lin Jin, with the dim light of the overhead lamp, made out the design, and a great deal of amusement appeared in his deep, dark eyes.

She wrapped the baby carrier strap around her palm and swung it around a few times, then leaned down and pressed herself against Cheng Sangluo's back. "You're quite something, aren't you? The taciturn guy suddenly got it?"

A playful chuckle brushed past the puppy's ear, followed by a cool and light rhetorical question, which drew back the curtain on tonight's grand feast.

Cheng Sangluo struggled to lift her head, intending to turn around and defend herself, "I... um..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Jin grabbed the back of her head and pressed it down forcefully, scolding her fiercely, "Did I give you permission to move?"

Cheng Sangluo sensed that something was wrong with her lover, and could only curse herself for going astray.

She didn't dare to say a word, pitifully burying her head and shaking it.

Lin Jin threw the things in her hand at her and commanded, "The puppy outfit is so cute, wear it and let me see."

After saying that, she leaned lazily to the side and patiently waited for the man to grope his way up.

At this moment, Cheng Sangluo was only wearing a sports bra, and she obediently put on her ears on by herself.

Unfortunately, wearing that tail was a bit embarrassing, and the tangled straps couldn't be untied in time, so I could only clumsily try to fix it.

After fiddling with it for a long time, she suddenly stopped, looked up at her wife with a pleading look, as if to say, "Maybe we should just give up?"

Lin Jin saw through her little scheme at a glance, and instantly transformed into a nimble cat, crouching down and crawling towards her. "When you ask your master for something, you should speak up, otherwise how will I know what you want?"

Cheng Sangluo stammered, "How about..."

Lin Jin easily untied the ribbon, slipped it all over the dog's neck, pulled it down hard, and scolded sternly: "How can you take back an arrow that has been drawn? Forget about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp sound of a lock being fastened rang out in the carriage. The suspenders tightened around Cheng Sangluo's upper body, highlighting his even more taut muscle lines.

Lin Jin's gaze was filled with a fiery intensity that seemed to burn everything away. He openly scrutinized her from head to toe, each sweep of his eyes seeming capable of incinerating anyone who was too ashamed to even look up.

Suppressing her inner turmoil, she remained firmly seated, a sly smile playing on her lips as she remarked, "It really is... a feast for the eyes..."

To understand Cheng Sangluo's beauty, one must start with her tall and athletic figure.

People who have served in the military always have an extraordinary sense of heroism; that kind of handsomeness is not on the surface, but is deeply ingrained in their bones.

Moreover, wheat-colored skin easily evokes fantasies, possessing a healthy and unconventional beauty. Coupled with scattered old scars, which bear the marks of a rough military life, the two intertwine to create an indescribable allure, brimming with a unique sexual tension.

Even the experienced Lin Jin succumbed to such temptation.

Lin Jin swept the dog's tail across Cheng Sangluo's chin and leisurely commanded, "Put your hands behind your back and kneel down."

Cheng Sangluo puffed out his cheeks, showing no sign of resistance. Instead, he obediently put his hands behind his back and knelt properly in front of his wife.

This posture is quite wonderful, as it can make the waist tighter and tighter. With the natural rise and fall of the breath, the abdominal muscles echo the shark muscles, and the distinct lines are extremely vivid.

Lin Jin's kisses landed before the carved seals, each kiss leaving a unique mark on her.

Her name is like red plum petals blown by the wind in winter, scattered across the wheat-colored soil, kissing and imprinting everywhere, each one a testament to the message that you belong only to me.

She laughed at how obedient the puppy was, and then offered herself up, head held high.

"Sweetie, are you hungry?" She affectionately hugged the puppy's head, radiating a motherly tenderness.

Cheng Sangluo knew exactly what his wife meant, and nodded silently.

She couldn't wait to give him a passionate kiss.

What are those lips, which moisten silently, like?

Like dragonflies dancing and hovering in the air during the height of summer, they create ripples on the water's surface and touch the tender pink tips of lotus flowers.

But she was clearly a wolf, starving as if she hadn't eaten for three days.

She kissed him passionately.

It's very flavorful.

More dazzling than the city's neon lights was the Land Rover at the cliff's edge, overflowing with love.

The mountain breeze rustles the curtains, as if the mountains are whispering sweet nothings, but it cannot compare to the harmonious music in the greenhouse.

I wonder how late into the night this love has lasted.

Lin Jin's hair was damp with a thin layer of sweat, lying flat on her forehead, giving her a vulnerable and pitiful appearance.

She raised her arm to shield her eyes, squinted, and savored the dreamlike pleasure, unable to suppress a melodious, cool laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Cheng Sangluo hugged her tightly, kissing her soft, bouncy earlobe with his eyes closed, their kisses sticking out in a very affectionate way.

Lin Jin turned her head to respond to the sweet kiss, "I laugh at how stingy you were before, and I also laugh at how generous you are today."

Cheng Sangluo pouted and said pitifully, "Are you still blaming me for being ignorant before?"

"How could I possibly blame you? I'm just overwhelmed with gratitude." Lin Jin denied it outright, stroking the puppy's eyebrows and eyes, admitting, "I love it so much... I love it so much... I love the New Year's gift you gave me..."

The puppy wagged its tail: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. A gift given with sincerity is something everyone appreciates." Lin Jin nodded firmly, then grabbed the blanket and wrapped them both up tightly. "Aren't you cold?"

"How can I be cold holding you?" The puppy buried its head in its lover's neck, then suddenly remembered something and quickly picked up its phone to check the time. "Oh dear, what time is it?!"

Lin Jin listened to the sounds outside. "I didn't hear any fireworks. They probably haven't crossed the threshold yet."

Cheng Sangluo saw that there was still half an hour left and quickly breathed a sigh of relief, "I was so scared, I thought the time had passed without me realizing it."

Lin Jin asked, puzzled, "Silly girl, what's so scary about this?"

"Because I want to send you my New Year's greetings right at midnight. This is our first New Year's Eve together, so we can't just rush through it." Cheng Sangluo sat up, took the thermos he had prepared beforehand, poured a glass of water and handed it to his wife. "Drink some water to soothe your throat. It's all my fault; your voice is a little hoarse."

"My dear, you're so thoughtful~" Lin Jin took the cup and held it in her hands, took a small sip, and found that it was not ordinary boiled water. It had a sweet taste with the aroma of herbs that she couldn't quite describe. "What did you give me to drink? It tastes pretty good."

Cheng Sangluo sneakily leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I knew you'd lose your voice from shouting, so I secretly made monk fruit, malva nut, and snow pear tea while you were taking a bath."

Lin Jin affectionately poked her cheek and teased, "You're so good at acting cute, and you even know how to make amends after causing so much trouble. You're such a nice person."

"I have to provide excellent service, after all, you made such a big boast before..." Cheng Sangluo said, mimicking Lin Jin's behavior in the parking garage.

She put one hand on her hip, and with the other hand, she pretended to hold a room key with a delicate, effeminate gesture, mimicking a real room key in a mock voice: "How about we make a bet? You'll come looking for me within a week, or... in the near future... you'll be vying for my attention in bed..."

"Cheng Sangluo!" Lin Jin suddenly called out her full name, grabbing her ear with her hand. "Don't force me to abuse you during my happiest moment! Try doing that again!"

Cheng Sangluo cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch! I just wanted to say that you've succeeded! I'm trying to please you right now, isn't that enough?"

"You little rascal, you're getting out of control if you don't discipline you for three days!" Lin Jin feigned anger, but her heart softened as she rubbed the puppy's ears, slowly wrapping her arms around his broad shoulders, and whispered enticingly, "I don't want the midnight blessing..."

"Then what do you want? I haven't prepared any more gifts!" Cheng Sangluo was dumbfounded, unable to figure out what his wife meant.

Seeing that she was oblivious to romance, Lin Jin gently nibbled at her ear with his lips, "Silly girl, how about we have some New Year's Eve lovemaking... If you could send me to heaven when the fireworks go off on the hour... wouldn't that be more exciting than a simple blessing?"

Cheng Sangluo was easily swayed by his wife, and with her encouragement, he was bound to cause a huge uproar!

Without a word, she stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly, then used the momentum to fall into the down comforter, vowing, "If I don't let you go to heaven at midnight, I'll go to hell, you just wait!"

Lin Jin was being held and rolled around in the car by this person, laughing uncontrollably: "Hahahaha... Such strong execution ability... Hahahaha...."

......

Even earlier than the New Year's Eve fireworks, the alarm clock set on my phone went off at midnight.

The man, whose body and face were covered in red marks, looked like a wolf that had taken over a territory.

She hunched over her back, which was covered in old scars.

Her kisses were gentle, yet she held him tightly, unable to let go.

"Lin...Lin Jin..." Cheng Sangluo breathed hotly as he called out to his beloved wife, "Happy New Year."

The love that melted her bones surged in Lin Jin's heart like a meteorite chasing a vast ocean, creating towering waves that submerged city after city.

Overwhelmed with attention, she was speechless and unable to utter a single blessing; she could only open her shimmering eyes to trace the outline of her beloved.

That look in his eyes was full of infatuation and doting, as if he wanted to melt his beloved into a wave of spring water.

Cheng Sangluo brushed away the strands of hair clinging to her lips, placed a comforting kiss on her lips, and whispered, "Listen to me."

Unable to suppress her trembling lips, Lin Jin could only respond with a nod: "Mm."

“We have left those hateful people and things in yesterday, so from today onwards, I hope my wife is immersed in happiness every minute and every second.”

I may never be able to give you countless riches in my lifetime, but I will give you my body and soul.

I am your most loyal lover. I will stay by your side to watch the sunrise and sunset, take care of you for three meals a day, bear all your bad moods and temper, and protect you in every moment of crisis.

In the new year, please continue to tease me, restrain me, tolerate me, and love me as always.

'Bang—smack—'

Fireworks flashed outside the window, fading away the joys and sorrows of that year amidst laughter and cheerful conversation.

Lin Jin wrapped her arms around Cheng Sangluo's neck, tilting her head to examine the smile on her lips.

Because love runs so deep, one can empathize with pain and joy, and thus feel just how intense the happiness of this moment truly is.

This woman, who once stood aloof and looked down on the suffering, revealed a sincere and humble side for the first time.

Her eyes crinkled into crescents, her smile as radiant as spring itself. “Life is so long, I hope Sangluo will guide me through it all.”
