Chapter 68
A strong, intoxicating scent of wild roses wafted into her nostrils, mingled with a subtle hint of sandalwood, a restrained yet alluring fragrance. Lu Shangyi tightened his arms around her, imprisoning her completely within his territory, his aura almost making her dizzy.
Qiao Yu felt weak all over, and even her fingers had little strength.
The other person's warm breath landed on her face, and in an instant, alarm bells went off in Qiao Yu's mind. She hurriedly tried to dodge, but the other person easily caught her. Every time she resisted unwillingly, she only brought on more severe and domineering punishments.
Lu Shangyi's cool lips brushed lightly across her skin, sending a shiver down her spine. Qiao Yu finally dared not move and obediently remained still in his embrace.
She planned to get away with it, but little did she know that Lu Shangyi had already seen through her and had no intention of letting her off so easily. The woman's voice was so low it seemed to overflow from her throat. She repeated herself slowly and calmly, then asked, "Aren't you going to speak?"
She moved closer and closer until she was about to capture those soft, rosy lips. Qiao Yu, as if on the verge of death, sat up with a start and quickly backed away, speaking softly, "I just ate a little and watched a movie for a bit." Eager to prove herself, she unconsciously raised her voice by two decibels, "I didn't do anything else."
If Lu Shangyi hadn't tied her hands behind her back, she would have sworn an oath on all ten fingers.
Lu Shangyi's eyes grew even deeper in the darkness of the night. She remained silent for a moment, and Qiao Yu dared not make a sound either, for fear of angering the woman in the next second.
After a long while, just as Qiao Yu relaxed her guard, a cool, fragrant kiss landed on her lips. It was very light, almost like an illusion, but then the kiss quickly became hot, and the pheromones emanating from the other person, which could make any EGA retreat, firmly occupied every part of Qiao Yu's senses.
Lu Shangyi's arms naturally tightened around her, his slender figure completely enveloping her, giving her no chance to resist or fight back.
An unfamiliar scent slowly spread between her lips and teeth, gradually eroding Qiao Yu's reason.
Qiao Yu panicked and tried to push her away, but the other woman easily grabbed her slender wrist, leaving her powerless to resist. A torrent of pheromones rushed in, filling her nostrils, until her body was completely enveloped in the other woman's scent.
She held her breath, her body stiff and motionless, as the woman gently explored and advanced.
Having become entangled to this point, instinctive desire had long since replaced reason, and gradually, Qiao Yu relaxed. She closed her eyes, and the aura emanating from Lu Shangyi that she had once avoided was no longer threatening. In its place was an irresistible intimacy and tender affection.
Just as she was falling for him, Lu Shangyi suddenly stopped. The pressure on her lips abruptly left, and Qiao Yu opened her eyes in a daze. Her dark eyes were already covered with a thin layer of water. Being stared at so intently by the woman, Qiao Yu's face instantly turned red, and she looked away awkwardly.
She began to struggle, but Lu Shangyi's slender fingers gently gripped her pointed chin, and then she fell down with even more force than before.
This time, there were no techniques involved, just a simple crushing force, carrying a hint of punishment, yet it still turned her upside down, leaving her completely defenseless. Never before had Lu Shangyi treated her so unreasonably. A jolt of electricity ran through her scalp, a tingling, numb sensation. She wanted to escape but couldn't help but succumb to it, struggling with this dilemma for a long time without reaching a conclusion.
As her body began to change, Lu Shangyi suddenly stopped when she smelled the milky scent at the tip of her nose.
A feeling of losing control welled up inside him, and Lu Shangyi suddenly pulled away, but then pulled the girl back into his arms as he saw her swaying as if she was about to fall. Qiao Yu was stunned for a long time, unable to recover from the oppressive aura he had just given her. She leaned against him, remaining silent for a long time.
It wasn't until Lu Shangyi picked her up horizontally that she couldn't help but gasp, her soft voice trembling slightly.
As the light gradually brightened, Lu Shangyi saw a blush of excitement on the girl's fair cheeks. She looked so pitiful; she didn't even need to do anything, just sitting there quietly was irresistible. Her fingers unconsciously gripped her clothes, and her dark eyes were wide open, her teary-eyed appearance extremely alluring.
The desire she had just suppressed surged back into her heart in an instant. Before Qiao Yu could react, the woman suddenly pressed her down on the sofa, rendering her unable to move. She involuntarily clenched her fingers and stared at the other woman. After a moment, just as Lu Shangyi was about to lean over her, Qiao Yu asked, feigning composure, "Sister Lu, won't your niece be angry if she finds out you're doing this to me?"
Lu Shangyi's movements, which were carrying an oppressive aura, paused slightly.
Seeing that this tactic was effective, Qiao Yu continued, her slightly raised tone carrying a hint of amusement: "Sister Lu, your niece is already on a date with me, how can you still try to steal her woman?" She blinked innocently, "That's not right."
"Once your niece finds out, how will she face her seemingly upright aunt?"
Lu Shangyi's sharp gaze swept over, her narrow eyes slightly narrowed. She slowly approached, and even without saying a word, the dangerous aura emanating from her made Qiao Yu's heart pound violently, as if it would burst out of her chest. Her fingers clenched slightly; Qiao Yu was ultimately a little intimidated.
She was genuinely worried that Lu Shangyi might suddenly lose control and mark her directly.
The woman remained motionless, and Qiao Yu took the opportunity to shrink back, intending to avoid her for a while. However, the other woman's slender hand gently grabbed her wrist, and with a slight force, pulled her back, encircling her back into her territory.
Lu Shangyi's husky voice slowly sounded above her head, "I never said I wouldn't compete with anyone for someone."
With just a casual remark, she silenced Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu remained silent for a long time, not daring to relax in the slightest, but she still stubbornly insisted, "An aunt should act like an aunt..." Before she could finish speaking, Lu Shangyi leaned closer, and Qiao Yu immediately felt as if someone had choked her, and she lost her voice.
Staring nervously into the woman's deep eyes, Qiao Yu froze, too stiff to move.
Perhaps it was her tense and fearless demeanor that pleased Lu Shangyi, for he slowly smiled, a hint of amusement creeping onto his brow.
Qiao Yu swore she had never seen such an unpredictable alpha, no… Aunt Ye seemed to be the same. As she was carefully comparing them, Lu Shangyi's aloof figure approached again, his slightly narrowed eyes containing an unfriendly meaning, "Who are you thinking about?"
Qiao Yu suspected that Lu Shangyi had installed radar in her brain.
She quickly shook her head and replied softly, "I wasn't thinking about anyone."
Lu Shangyi gazed intently at her. The distance was so close that she could almost see the fine, soft downy hairs on his fair face. Feeling somewhat uncomfortable under Lu Shangyi's gaze, Qiao Yu carefully turned her head away, her delicate eyelashes trembling nervously.
Her moist red lips unconsciously tightened, and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
Once again, Qiao Yu's senses were filled with Lu Shangyi's pheromones. She wanted to escape but was unconsciously attracted.
Fortunately, Lu Shangyi quickly composed herself, but just as she relaxed, the woman easily defeated her with a simple sentence: "Your lying skills are as bad as ever." Seeing her looking at her in confusion, the woman looked at her with the same surprise: "Haven't you noticed it yourself?"
Qiao Yu: "?"
Lu Shangyi's words caused indelible damage to Qiao Yu's young and innocent heart. She was listless and deeply hurt by the woman. She pressed him for answers, but Lu Shangyi only gave her an ambiguous look and showed no intention of explaining.
Qiao Yu became fixated on this, then saw Lu Shangyi take off his coat, take a long stride, and look like he was about to walk towards the spiral staircase. She quickly called out to him and asked nervously, "Are you going to stay here tonight?"
The other person turned around, raising an eyebrow slightly. "You want me to stay?"
"Of course not!" Qiao Yu chuckled awkwardly, politely asking her to leave, "I just think it's too late now, sister, you should go back and rest."
The other person's expression didn't change; they simply said in a flat tone, "You know it's late."
Reason told Qiao Yu that if she delved deeper into this matter, she would only end up getting hurt. So she quickly shut her mouth, deciding not to interfere with what Lu Shangyi was doing at the moment, so as not to suffer any further harm.
Setting her coat aside, Lu Shangyi didn't go upstairs. The woman strolled around like a lion surveying its territory, looking around leisurely. Qiao Yu dared not say or ask anything, silently pulling her dangling leg back down and picking up her phone to let Jiang Mei know she was safe.
The other party replied quickly, "Get some rest, see you tomorrow."
The other woman had arranged to go out with her tomorrow, and Jiang Mei had already booked the tickets in advance. Qiao Yu was about to reply when the elegant and proud woman stopped and turned her dark and deep gaze toward her. "Come with me to the hospital tomorrow."
ah?
Qiao Yu looked up blankly, her expression a little nervous, "Sister, are you still not well?"
The only response she received was Lu Shangyi's unchanging expression, "Hmm." The woman's face was neither flushed nor out of breath, and her serious and earnest demeanor left Qiao Yu with no reason to doubt her. "I'm still feeling a little unwell, so I'll go back for another IV drip tomorrow."
After she finished speaking, her light gaze fell on the phone that Qiao Yu was holding.
Subconsciously turning the screen upside down on the sofa, Qiao Yu quickly got up and said, "Then you should go back and rest early, sister. I'll go with you tomorrow morning."
Lu Shangyi's deep gaze remained fixed on her, making Qiao Yu's smile stiffen slightly. After a long while, he chuckled softly, his eyes unreadable. "This afternoon," Lu Shangyi said innocently. "I have a meeting this morning and can't leave for the time being."
Qiao Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she knew in her heart that something bad was going to happen. She and Jiang Mei had also made plans to go out in the afternoon!
How is she supposed to live like this?
Qiao Yu was practically in tears. Seeing the woman finish her explanation and prepare to go home, she didn't know whether to extend her hand to stop her or not. Her phone, which she had placed on the sofa, vibrated again. Perhaps seeing that she hadn't replied to the message for a while, Jiang Mei asked her again to confirm.
Seeing Lu Shangyi looking at her phone again, Qiao Yu quickly moved in front of her to block her view and carefully confirmed, "Can't it be after the meeting tomorrow at noon?"
The woman raised her eyebrows slightly but didn't say anything.
Qiao Yu said earnestly, "Because I'm really worried about your health, sister..." Her expression was very sincere, but before she could finish her next sentence, her phone rang.
No need to guess, it must be Jiang Mei.
Qiao Yu suddenly felt a little nervous.
Lu Shangyi initially didn't want to expose her, but seeing her nervous expression, she suddenly changed her mind. Her gaze shifted twice between the phone and the girl, then Lu Shangyi leaned closer, asking gently, "My niece?"
How could Qiao Yu dare to answer? She immediately denied it, feigning ignorance, "I don't know."
Realizing that her words lacked confidence, she quickly added, "It could also be my friends, like Tang Shu or Meng E."
Lu Shangyi gave her a deep look and smiled, "Do you know what the consequences are of tempting my niece into early romance?"
