Chapter 163 Return to Tanxi Garden
After lunch, they were almost done soaking, so Fu Linghe carefully picked up Yun Zheng and walked towards the hotel room.
Along the way, Yun Zheng leaned in his strong arms, feeling his body temperature and strong heartbeat, and an indescribable sense of security surged in her heart.
Fu Linghe walked into the suite holding Yun Zheng. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the outline of the snow-capped mountains in the distance was light blue.
He laid her on a bed covered with rose petals, and traced the red and swollen area of her ankle with his fingertips. "Apply ice for half an hour."
He turned around and took out a gilded wooden box from the compartment of the suitcase. Wrapped in red silk was a bone-breaking ointment from a century-old pharmacy.
Yun Zheng curled up on the feather pillow and watched him roll up his sleeves. The scent of agarwood mixed with the fragrance of medicine dissolved in his palms.
The warmth of Fu Linghe's palm penetrated her bones. He reached out and gently pressed the sensitive part of her arch. "Does it hurt here?"
Her toes suddenly curled up, but she accidentally kicked his tense abdominal muscles.
"Murdering your own husband?" Fu Linghe grabbed her ankles, with a beautiful curve at the corner of his lips.
Yun Zheng was about to retort when he suddenly bound her eyes with a silk tie. "Compensate me for my mental damage first."
Yun Zheng’s eyes went dark and she was startled at first, but then she felt inexplicably excited.
She could feel Fu Linghe's breathing close to her, with a hint of playfulness and warmth spraying against her ears.
"You...what are you doing?" Yun Zheng shouted in a pretended angry tone, but her voice trembled slightly due to nervousness.
"Shh, don't move." Fu Linghe's voice was low and magnetic. "I'm just looking for compensation for my mental damage. It's your fault for being so naughty in the hot spring before, making me so distracted and almost letting me get away with it."
After hearing this, Yun Zheng's cheeks turned slightly red. She wanted to defend herself but didn't know where to start.
She felt Fu Linghe's fingers gently brushing her cheek, sliding down from her ear. The itchy feeling made Yun Zheng tremble slightly.
"Stop it and let me go." Yun Zheng said helplessly.
"Let go? Not now." Fu Linghe chuckled, but did not stop the movement of his hands.
He carefully released her ankles, but quickly grasped her wrists and pulled her hands over her head.
Yun Zheng's breathing became rapid and her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.
In the darkness, she could only rely on her keen hearing and touch to feel Fu Linghe's every move. This unknown and ambiguous feeling made her heart full of anticipation but also a hint of uneasiness.
Fu Linghe leaned close to her ear and blew slowly into it. The warm breath made Yun Zheng's cheeks instantly hot.
"You know what, Zheng Zheng, whenever I see you, I want to possess you like crazy!"
Yun Zheng felt a tingling sensation in her ears and couldn't help but let out a soft hum.
Fu Linghe was in a good mood after hearing her reaction. He leaned close to her ear again and gently bit her earlobe, "Be good and listen, or you will suffer."
Yun Zheng was embarrassed and annoyed by him. She wanted to break free but had no strength.
Just when she thought Fu Linghe was going to take further action, he suddenly released his hands that bound her, bent down and whispered in her ear, "I'm just teasing you, little fool."
Fu Linghe's hand moved back to her ankle again. The warm touch disappeared for a moment, and a chill suddenly came from her ankle.
Yun Zheng froze completely, subconsciously trying to pull her foot back from his grasp, but the man's grip tightened, "Be good, don't move!"
Fu Linghe's words seemed to have some magical power, soothing all of Yun Zheng's anxiety and uneasiness, and she stopped moving.
Fu Linghe fiddled with it for a while before raising his hand to untie the tie covering her eyes.
Fu Linghe's palm was still on Yun Zheng's ankle, and his fingertips gently stroked the newly put on anklet.
Yun Zheng looked down and saw that the chain was as thin as a hair, but it emitted a faint silver light. The cloud-shaped pendant was delicate and small, and the flying crane on it was lifelike, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly away in the next second.
"This is..." Yun Zheng's voice trembled a little, and her fingers unconsciously touched the flying crane. The touch was cold, but it warmed her heart.
"Custom-made." Fu Linghe's voice was low and gentle, with a hint of imperceptible doting. "Yun" in Yunzheng and "He" in Fu Linghe, together, it forms our name."
Yun Zheng's heart skipped a beat. She looked up at Fu Linghe, only to find that his eyes were fixed on her ankle.
His fingers gently fiddled with the chain, and the gold chain swayed slightly with his movements, making a crisp sound.
"When did you prepare it?" Yun Zheng's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but her cheeks were already flushed.
Fu Linghe didn't rush to reply to her. He lay down beside her, put one hand across her waist, and held her in his arms. He said lazily, "The ring can't lock you up, so I can only use an anklet!"
Yun Zheng felt his strong heartbeat and couldn't help but be a little dazed.
After a while, Yun Zheng whispered, "Fu Linghe, I want to go home."
Fu Linghe was slightly startled, then asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you tired? Or are you not feeling comfortable living in this hot spring villa?"
Yun Zheng shook her head and explained, "No, I just miss home. I've been soaking in the hot springs for two days and I'm a little tired of it."
Fu Linghe lazily buried his head in her neck, his voice low and hoarse, "Okay, I'll take you home tomorrow."
Yun Zheng looked at Fu Linghe excitedly, her eyes full of joy, "Thank you, Fu Linghe."
Fu Linghe hugged Yun Zheng tighter and snorted softly, "You always try to be polite to me!"
——
The next morning, Yun Zheng woke up to Fu Linghe's gentle call.
She rubbed her eyes and saw that Fu Linghe had finished washing up and was standing by the window in casual clothes, looking at the scenery outside.
"Good morning." Yun Zheng greeted lazily.
Fu Linghe turned around, walked to the bed, and sat beside her. "Good morning, let's get ready to go home."
Yun Zheng nodded, unable to hide her excitement, "Great, I can finally go home."
Fu Linghe gently stroked Yun Zheng's hair, "Well, your foot injury hasn't healed yet, go home and take good care of it."
After saying this, Fu Linghe turned around and went to the cloakroom to get the clothes Yun Zheng was going to wear today and gave them to her.
Fu Linghe had already packed his luggage.
While Yun Zheng was changing clothes, Fu Linghe had already taken the box out.
After putting all the luggage away, he came back and carried Yun Zheng into the car.
When the morning light penetrated the clouds, Fu Linghe's Cullinan had already driven onto the winding mountain road.
Fu Linghe placed one hand on the suede steering wheel and adjusted Yun Zheng's seat to a 135-degree angle with his right hand.
When the cashmere blanket covered her collarbone, he suddenly leaned over and untied the strap behind her neck. "This is how you fasten your seatbelt."
The moment the metal buckle was embedded in the card slot, warm lips brushed past her ear.
The car's aromatherapy scent is Yun Zheng's favorite jasmine, mixed with the cedar scent on his cuffs, it is particularly refreshing.
When they reached the cross-sea bridge, Fu Linghe suddenly lowered the car window, and the salty sea breeze drifted in with the breeze.
She turned her head and saw the smile on his lips. The words "32 minutes from Tanxiyuan" on the navigation screen suddenly turned into a heart-shaped icon.
