Chapter 397 Skin-to-Skin Intimacy
[no]
[Can't]
Our relationship shouldn't be like this.
Her words echoed again and again.
Lu Jinye let out a long breath and gently stopped her restless hand!
She raised her head, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
He lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.
"One day, I will make you willingly and clearly be with me. Not... like this now."
He should wait until she understands her own feelings, and not be confused and driven by desire!
Wen Ni didn't understand
He wanted it before, but she wouldn't give it to him. Now that she wants it, he won't give it to her again?
Men are such a hassle.
"You haven't slept all night, you must be exhausted." He pulled her into his arms, his voice slightly breathless, carrying a restrained desire. "I'll stay with you, you can get some sleep."
"Do you want me... to help you?" She raised her hand.
"If I'm going to help, I might need you to go all the way." He pulled the blanket over himself. "I'm fine, you go to sleep."
"oh."
Wen Ni said softly.
She was indeed quite exhausted. Her body hadn't fully recovered, and just a few days after being discharged from the hospital, she had dragged her injured leg to save Hua Zhuo. Yesterday, in order to test Caesar Perth, she had taken down eight people!
Her leg injury had long been aching and unbearable, but she had just been enduring it.
With her back against Lu Jinye's chest, she felt an unprecedented relaxation in her usually tense nerves, and soon fell asleep!
She slept very soundly.
The sky outside changed from being high in the sun to nightfall.
The stars twinkled outside the window
When Wen Ni woke up, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was the brown wooden chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The chandelier was not on; instead, four dim, yellowish light bands were on.
It's Lu Jinye's bedroom...
The scenes that happened before she went to sleep flooded back into her mind!
"!!!"
She sat up abruptly.
I heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom!
"I'm so ashamed to face anyone."
Wen Ni raised her hand and slapped her forehead.
I immediately slipped on my slippers, intending to sneak away!
The bathroom door opened at that very moment.
Wearing black elastic-waisted pants and shirtless, Lu Jinye walked out. A towel was draped over his shoulder, and he was slowly drying his dripping hair.
He lowered his eyes.
Wen Ni, who was hunched over in front of him, also stiffly turned around.
The scene that entered her eyes was so arousing it made her blood boil!
Glistening wet droplets slid down Lu Jinye's muscular chest, trailing along his slender waistline...
"Just woke up, where are you planning to go?"
"Um……"
Wen Ni swallowed a little, looking rather pathetic.
Seeing that she had been staring at him without saying a word for a long time, Lu Jinye couldn't help but smile again, leaned down slightly, and suddenly stretched out a hand towards her.
"What are you doing?" Wen Ni dodged backward, trying her best to appear calm!
The next second, he had already pulled up her clothes that had slipped off her shoulders. "I should be asking you what you want? Sleepy-eyed, with your shoulders half-exposed. I'm not as virtuous as you think! It's hard not to tempt me to commit a crime looking like this."
"Are you sure it's not you seducing me, but me seducing you?" Wen Ni's gaze was fixed on his perfectly proportioned broad shoulders and narrow waist!
"Oh? It's my honor to seduce you."
"Have you been reciting too many lines? Where did you get these embarrassing and pretentious lines from!" Wen Ni couldn't help but get goosebumps. She straightened up, her hands hanging at her sides clenching tightly. "I think we need to have a serious talk. After all, we've already...skin-to-skin contact..."
"Are you some ancient person who traveled from somewhere?" Lu Jinye chuckled again, amused by her words. "Why are you using such strange language? Or are you nervous?"
"Shut your mouth and listen to me."
Wen Ni glared at him angrily. "What I mean is, we've already crossed the line. We can't continue like this, unclear and ambiguous!"
"So what if it's unclear and ambiguous?" Lu Jinye's eyes darkened, and he leaned down to whisper in her ear, "Don't even think about distancing yourself from me again."
“You didn’t understand what I meant. What I meant was…” Wen Ni’s expression and eyes became very serious and solemn. “I think we…”
"Knock knock knock!"
A light knock sounded on the door.
Qin Yuan's reluctant voice came from outside the door, "Master Lu... it's not that I'm asking for trouble, but Wen Cheng is here, she's in the living room right now."
"Xiao Cheng?"
Wen Ni raised her eyes.
Living room on the first floor of the villa.
Wen Cheng sat obediently on the sofa.
A glass of warm juice sat in front of him, and Barron sat on the sofa opposite him, chatting with him.
"elder sister!"
Seeing Wen Ni walk down the spiral staircase, Wen Cheng immediately stood up, her eyes bright and sparkling.
"Xiao Cheng, what brings you here?"
"Sister, Brother Lu called this morning and told me you were here with him, so I shouldn't worry. But a whole day has passed and I haven't seen you. I'm starting to have all sorts of wild thoughts. I'm really worried. I'm afraid you'll suddenly disappear again, leaving without saying goodbye..."
He was really scared.
He was terrified of losing his beloved sister again, truly!
"Sister won't suddenly disappear again, Xiao Cheng. Don't be afraid, sister won't leave you." Wen Ni's eyes were gentle as she pulled Xiao Cheng's arm and gently patted his shoulder.
"Um!"
“Miss Ni Ni has been sleeping in Master Lu’s room all day, you must be hungry, right? I’ll go get you something to eat!” Baron slowly stood up, his words ambiguous and drawn out.
Xiao Cheng was stunned by these words, her gaze filled with confusion and surprise as she looked at Wen Ni. "Sister, you and Brother Lu wouldn't be...?"
"Don't overthink it, I really just slept all day, literally. Xiao Cheng, haven't you had dinner yet? Perfect, let's eat together in a bit!"
Wen Ni hurriedly explained, then gritted her teeth and glanced at Baron.
"Baron is right, I'm really hungry right now. I especially want to eat Qiao's braised duck from Jiangnan, seafood porridge from Hanghai City in Jiangbei, and Sun's oven-baked pancakes from the east of the city. Oh, and I can't forget the Eight Treasures Tofu Soup, the best one is from Wei's Old Brand on West Street! Please buy these for me, thank you~"
"..." Baron's smile froze on his face.
Buying all these things would mean going around the entire city of Gotham!
"Hahahaha! Serves you right for being so cheeky!" Qin Yuan laughed, clutching her stomach.
Before he could even finish laughing, Baron grabbed his collar!
"Qin Yuan, you can buy these things. I suddenly remembered that I have something more important to do for the old man, so I'll be going now!"
"What???"
Qin Yuan's expression changed, and her eyes glazed over for two seconds before Baron had already grabbed his coat and vanished without a trace!
"You dog Baron! You get the hell back here!"
"Qin Yuan".
"Master Lu!" Qin Yuan was about to complain.
"What are you dawdling for?" Lu Jinye walked down the stairs. "Wen Ni said she wanted to eat it, hurry up and go buy it."
"No way, why did this happen to me again?!" Qin Yuan was so angry that she wanted to cry but had no tears. She grabbed her coat and walked out while dialing Baron's number. She immediately launched into a tirade, cursing Baron's family.
Lu Jinye smiled faintly and walked towards the dining table.
Wen Ni pulled Xiao Cheng to sit on a chair.
“Xiao Cheng, I just met Hua Zhuo yesterday. He said that the Hua family is hosting a welcome banquet for us this Saturday, and they will invite some prominent figures from all walks of life. Would you like to go to such an event? If you don’t want to go, we don’t have to go.”
"I……"
Wen Cheng's expression was somewhat complicated.
Lu Jinye handed each of them a glass of milk.
"Thank you, Brother Lu."
"polite."
Lu Jinye pulled out a chair and sat down opposite them.
“I think…we should go.” Wen Cheng gripped her milk glass tightly and said earnestly, “This is our uncle’s kindness, we shouldn’t refuse.”
“You don’t need to consider whether it’s appropriate or not. You just need to tell me what you really think. Do you want to go or not?” Wen Ni looked at him. “No one will blame you.”
"The Hua family home was originally Mom and Grandma's home." Wen Cheng slowly raised her head, which had been lowered. "I... want to go back and see. I want everyone to know that Mom isn't an orphan, that Mom has a home. That includes the Wen family!"
