Chapter 82

A sweet and fun-filled affair

Lin Jin earnestly asked for a kiss, which made the originally relaxed atmosphere fall silent, creating a quiet atmosphere in the room.

Cheng Sangluo's eyelids trembled as she stared blankly, then she silently stood up and hung the clothes she was holding back in the wardrobe.

She leaned against the cabinet door, her back to the increasingly forlorn-looking madwoman, and lowered her head to look at her slippers, remaining silent for a long time.

It wasn't that I couldn't bear to part with a kiss, but rather that the words "we're about to separate" struck my heart, evoking a strong sense of unease.

She didn't understand why she felt uneasy about a separation; perhaps she hadn't realized that spending so much time together had created too many habits.

These habits become more and more difficult to let go of when you're apart, and you become more and more dependent on them, which makes your breathing feel empty.

Lin Jin seemed to have gotten used to Cheng Sangluo's lack of response; she always got what she wanted, always hoped, and was always met with silence.

She rubbed her slightly sore brow, pushed the forward gear, and quietly left the dressing room.

Hearing the sound of an electric wheelchair behind her, Cheng Sangluo slowly clenched her fists, her hands gripping the door, and a look of annoyance gradually appeared on her face.

Don't be so stingy with her, okay?

Cheng Sangluo hesitated and asked herself questions, but when she turned to look at the door, she could no longer find Lin Jin's figure.

This time, she didn't stand still. She quickened her pace and followed, blocking Lin Jin's path before loudly confirming, "Really, you can't take me with you?"

Lin Jin looked up at the puppy, a glint of light in her eyes, as if she were glad that someone as emotionally insensitive as her could actually experience separation anxiety.

She smiled helplessly and refused, "No."

Cheng Sangluo, like a student seeking answers to the unknown, kept asking, "Are you on a business trip because of the betting agreement?"

Eager to know the answer, she leaned closer, afraid of missing anything.

Lin Jin didn't say much, just nodded lightly: "Mm".

"Then before we part..." Cheng Sangluo said haltingly, his hands gripping the armrests of the wheelchair, pulling the silent woman before him into his arms, "let's have a good kiss..."

She pressed her forehead against Lin Jin's and moved closer without hesitation. At first, she tentatively touched him, but after tasting the moist sweetness on his soft lips, she quickly fell into an aggressive kiss.

Lin Jin was a little dazed, and sighed inwardly at how this person could change so much. Just a moment ago he was being stingy and stubborn, refusing to kiss her, but now he was kissing her like a raging flood.

She smiled and wrapped her arms around the puppy's neck, whispering softly between kisses, "Carry me to bed...there's plenty of time..."

Cheng Sangluo was captivated by the passionate kiss that entwined their tongues. She grabbed Lin Jin's waist and lifted her up in a princess carry, then quickly pressed her lips to those luscious red lips, not wanting to waste a single second.

"Mmm..." Lin Jin kissed him passionately and tenderly, a comfortable sigh escaping naturally from her nose. Unable to contain herself, she bit the puppy's lip hard, complaining, "Why didn't you kiss me at the beginning? Why did I have to wait? I hate your lack of response, I hate how stingy you are, I hate... mmm..."

Cheng Sangluo gave her no chance to speak, kissing and biting her repeatedly until they were pulled into the soft bed by their momentum.

Their madness at night was like a secret unknown to anyone. They were shrouded in darkness and acted with unbridled abandon, so stingy that even the light could not be a spectator. Thus, they made their daytime debauchery even more unique and unrestrained.

Lin Jin sat on Cheng Sangluo's lap, deliberately letting the loose collar of her robe slide down to her shoulder blades, creating a half-hidden, half-revealed glimpse of spring.

Her posture made her half a head taller than the puppy, and when they looked at each other, her eyes remained unwaveringly disdainful, like a queen looking down at her knights to see if they were loyal and submissive.

Lin Jin tilted her head, narrowed her eyes, and smiled even more slyly, her fingertips tracing Cheng Sangluo's eyebrows and eyes inch by inch.

Cheng Sangluo felt the cool fingertips on her face, which felt like a faint burning sensation. She couldn't wait to put them in her mouth, grinding them between her teeth and swirling them around with her tongue.

Even as she unleashed a passionate and unrestrained performance, she felt no shame, meeting the madwoman's gaze directly.

Lin Jin withdrew her fingertips from the puppy's chin and asked, "Do I look good in this nightgown?"

"Beautiful." Cheng Sangluo lowered her eyes and glanced at the half-slippery satin robe. The well-fitting fabric accentuated her figure, wrapping Lin Jinshui's slender waist in a graceful curve.

When she is still, she doesn't seem particularly exquisite, but with a few slight twists and turns, she becomes a captivating and alluring weapon, capable of utterly seducing anyone.

"Want to tear it apart?" Lin Jin pressed her lips to the puppy's ear, the allure of her words far surpassing any physical contact. "Quick, tear it apart... You're so strong... it'll be easy for you to tear it to shreds... Don't you want to see what's inside... Don't you want to eat me up already...?"

It was too seductive. This kind of hug, which involved both giving and receiving, was so seductive that it completely disrupted Cheng Sangluo's rationality.

In bed, this man transformed into a wild and savage wolf.

She gripped that wicked waist, deftly flipped her over, and pinned the alluring yet eccentric madwoman against the soft pillow. "Rather than tearing it apart... I prefer to bite through the fabric..."

The young couple, who were about to part ways, had a fun-filled romantic getaway.

It was Lin Jin who was in the mood to play. Not content with the small space of the bed, she deliberately dragged her long robe and tried to escape, limping towards the outside.

The puppy, now engrossed in its love, couldn't easily give up its addiction. It kept asking for her, stopping and starting along the way, endlessly.

So the two of them wandered from the bedroom to the home elevator, and then back and forth on the living room sofa, turning the huge villa into an amusement park, playing games all over the place.

It wasn't until they had a hearty meal at the restaurant table that Secretary Zhou's phone call about their flight interrupted their enjoyment, bringing them out of their reverie.

*

"Secretary Zhou, remember to remind Lin Jin to send me a message to let me know you're safe once you get there." Cheng Sangluo dragged her suitcase and quickly followed beside Zhou Ran, carefully reminding her to let him know she was safe.

Zhou Ran was the only person besides the legal team who knew about their arranged marriage.

She laughed at the man for rambling on the whole way, and had no choice but to patiently reply: "Ms. Cheng, please rest assured, I will send you a message as soon as I get off the plane. In addition, I have already made arrangements for Mr. Lin's food, accommodation and personal security."

"That's good, that's good." Cheng Sangluo trusted her meticulous secretary and turned her attention to Lin Jin, instructing her again: "By the way, the doctor repeatedly told her that she can't walk with her injured foot. Keep a close eye on her and don't let her run around like a chicken."

"Pfft..." Zhou Ran was so amused by the description that she almost burst out laughing. She quickly composed herself and said, "I will take good care of President Lin. You can rest assured."

Passengers bound for Zehai, please note that boarding for flight CA136 is now commenced. Please take your carry-on items with you...

The sudden airport announcement interrupted their conversation, and they happened to walk to the VIP security checkpoint.

Lin Jin gestured for his secretary to wait aside, probably wanting to have a private chat with the puppy.

Cheng Sangluo squatted down and quickly began to nag, "When you're out and about, you need to be careful with your belongings, keys, and money, you know?"

Lin Jin, who had looked exhausted and was not in a good mood, was amused by the dog's words and laughed, "Asking for money? People might not give it to you."

"I'm talking about your ID card, phone, keys, and wallet. Don't lose these things," Cheng Sangluo explained earnestly, then muttered under her breath, "Although you didn't say the specific reason for your business trip, I know it must be because you've encountered problems with the betting agreement. I can't help you much, but if you need me, I'll fly over to find you. I don't ask for anything else, I just want you to be safe and sound."

"It's true that this matter has caused some trouble, and I need to deal with it as soon as possible. After all, this is a game of capital, and a lot of money is needed as a bargaining chip. But don't worry, I will handle everything." Lin Jin rarely explained patiently, holding the puppy's hand and gently stroking it, and whispered a warning: "I don't have any other requirements for you, only one thing: you are not allowed to go to Shu Wan behind my back, or any other woman."

"In your eyes, am I the kind of person who flirts with other women? I haven't been in contact with her for a long time!" Cheng Sangluo complained aggrievedly. Feeling that the crazy woman didn't believe her, she quickly added, "I have always strictly abided by the terms of the agreement. You have set so many traps for me. If I'm not careful, I will fall into them. How could I dare to cause trouble for no reason? Boarding has already started. You should go to security check now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Secretary Zhou brought over the airline's VIP manager to help accompany Lin Jin, who had difficulty walking, through security. "President Lin, time is of the essence."

"Let's go." Lin Jin was pushed away, and she looked back at Cheng Sangluo with great reluctance, regretting that the separation was so abrupt and that they hadn't even had a proper goodbye kiss.

Seeing the puppy standing there pitifully, she couldn't help but feel regretful. If she had known that parting would be so difficult, she should have taken the puppy with her on the business trip. It would have been fine if it had been a bed warmer!

"Go in quickly, go in quickly." Cheng Sangluo could only force a smile as she looked at Lin Jin, who kept turning back to look at her. She waved her hand and assured her, "I will send you messages on time to update you on my life, don't worry."

Once the two had disappeared from each other's sight, they both breathed a sigh of relief, wondering how they would get through the long nights of the week.

Suddenly freed, Cheng Sangluo stood there motionless, unsure of what to do next. She couldn't possibly spend the whole week at home carving seals.

She racked her brains for a long time before finally deciding to go back to her rented apartment. She needed to take advantage of Lin Jin's absence to sort out the matter of overturning the case, since that was the original intention of all her actions.

The sudden ringing interrupted her thoughts.

She picked up her phone and looked at the caller ID. It was Ji Nanxing calling. "Hello? Officer Ji, what's up?"

The person on the other end of the line was silent for a few seconds before speaking in a businesslike tone: "Cheng Sangluo, this is Ji Nanxing, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. We suspect you are involved in the Xu Songheng disappearance case. Please come to the Criminal Investigation Center immediately for questioning and investigation."

"Xu Songheng?" Cheng Sangluo's heart skipped a beat, and she asked suspiciously, "He's disappeared?"

“Someone reported to us that you were involved in a fight with Xu Songheng on the night of the incident. You have an old grudge against him and a criminal record, so you have a motive for the crime. However, the evidence is insufficient to meet the standards for arrest, but we hope you can cooperate with our investigation.”

Cheng Sangluo could tell that Ji Nanxing was being fair on the surface, but was actually secretly favoring her.

After all, there was a huge commotion that night to rescue Lin Jin, and there were too many witnesses. Just taking statements from a few people could land her in jail.

She walked quickly toward the airport exit, replying, "I'll come right away to assist you."
