Chapter 103 If I don’t love you, I will…please you
"I am here."
She responded to him, her voice soft, yet with the power to soothe everything.
The next second, his hot lips pressed down heavily.
This kiss was not like the previous ones that were plundering, but instead carried an indescribable cherishment.
He kissed her deeply and heavily, as if he wanted to swallow her whole into his stomach and knead her into his bones and blood.
Pour out all the anxiety, anger, and forbearance of today into this kiss.
Sang Wan endured his intense emotions and responded clumsily.
Her hand slid down from his cheek and tightly grasped the bed sheet under him.
He didn't move away until both of them were a little out of breath.
He rested his forehead against hers, breathing heavily.
"Luckily you're by my side."
He looked into her eyes, and there was an unconcealable sadness in his eyes with every word he spoke.
"Tingzhou, some feelings can't be forced. Don't force yourself. You've already been very good to them."
A trace of tears welled up in the corners of Sang Wan's eyes. They were trying to trip up Lu Tingzhou and set up defenses everywhere.
However, Lu Tingzhou never thought of really targeting them. He gave them all the dividends and profits they deserved.
As of now, he had the means to kick Lu Tingfeng out, but he didn't do it.
He cared about the blood relationship that they looked down upon.
She tilted her head back and kissed him on the lips.
Lu Tingzhou lay on Sang Wan, smelling her scent, and did not move for a long time.
Sang Wan was afraid that he would press on her stomach, so she pushed him and said, "Go take a shower. You smell like alcohol."
Lu Tingzhou kissed her face and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
When he came out again, Sang Wan was already asleep.
He chuckled softly. Why has he been sleeping so well recently?
The next morning, dawn broke.
The sky outside the window was a hazy gray-blue, with a hint of the cool water vapor unique to the lakeside.
When Lu Tingzhou woke up, the person next to him was still sleeping soundly.
Sang Wan was sleeping soundly, her long and curly eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyes, and her breathing was even and long.
He raised half of his body and looked at her quietly for a long time.
Last night, she was upset by the sarcastic remarks made by Sun Meixi and Tang Qinlan. She was in a bad mood when she came back, but she still forced herself to stay calm and comfort him.
A little fox with a hard mouth but a soft heart.
He leaned over and placed a feather-light kiss on her forehead.
"Hmm..." Sang Wan moaned, turned over and continued to sleep.
Lu Tingzhou chuckled softly, and his eyes softened a little when he thought of how she had become increasingly sleepy recently.
Without disturbing her, he got up quietly and went to deal with some urgent emails.
By the time Sang Wan woke up naturally and sat up from the bed rubbing her eyes, Lu Tingzhou had already changed into casual clothes.
"Awake?" He put down the tablet in his hand and walked towards her. "Go wash up, we're leaving."
Sang Wan was still a little confused. "Where are we going? Didn't we say we're going to the mountains to see the snow for a team building today?"
"No." Lu Tingzhou pulled her up from the bed and pushed her towards the bathroom. "I'll take you to a nice place."
Half an hour later, when the car stopped at a quiet and exquisite lakeside resort, Sang Wan finally understood where the "good place" he was talking about was.
This is not the noisy mountain villa booked by the company, but a small private resort.
The sapphire blue lake is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the unmelted snow on the tops of the distant mountains.
The air is filled with a fresh scent, as beautiful as a painting.
Sang Wan was immersed in the scenery in front of her, but she saw Lin Hao getting out of another car and arranging check-in.
She tugged at Lu Tingzhou's sleeve in confusion.
"We came out, and you asked Lin Hao to follow us?"
She lowered her voice and asked, "What if something happens at the company and you're not here, and he's not here either? Is that appropriate?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Tingzhou pulled her into his arms and wrapped her in his coat to isolate her from the chill.
He lowered his head, nuzzling his nose against hers, his voice low and soothing.
"Today, don't think too much."
"Have fun, huh?"
The two of them strolled along the cobblestone path by the lake.
The wind was quite strong, blowing up Sang Wan's long hair.
Lu Tingzhou stopped and carefully put a woolen hat on her, then wrapped a thick scarf around her neck, leaving only a pair of watery eyes exposed.
After doing all this, he took off one of her gloves.
"Huh?"
Before Sang Wan could react, his warm hands had already wrapped around her slightly cold fingertips, and without further ado, he put them both into his coat pocket.
In my pocket, there is the comforting warmth.
His palm was dry and strong, holding her hand completely, and the warmth came continuously.
Sang Wan pursed her lips and looked at him secretly.
The lines on the man's profile remained cold and hard, and he looked straight ahead, as if he had just done something very ordinary.
But Sang Wan's heart was deeply hurt by this silent action.
Lu Tingzhou never says fancy words, but always uses the most direct and simple way to express his clumsy and deep love.
Sang Wan's heart moved and she wanted to tease him.
She cleared her throat and looked up at him, "Lu Tingzhou."
"Um?"
"Just shout 'I love Sang Wan' out loud here."
Lu Tingzhou paused, as if he had heard something out of the ordinary. He turned his head and frowned at her.
"I'm not crazy."
Sang Wan refused to give in and tiptoed closer to him, "How can expressing love be considered insane? Look how people act that way on TV."
Lu Tingzhou looked at her sparkling eyes with an expression that said, "Are you stupid?"
"Isn't my love for you obvious enough?" he asked confidently.
Sang Wan deliberately frowned her delicate eyebrows and dragged out her tone, "Is it obvious? Why didn't I feel it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Tingzhou suddenly leaned over, and his warm breath instantly brushed against her ear.
His voice was very low, with a hint of annoying hoarseness, and it penetrated into her ears.
"If I don't love you, will I let you play with and eat my things as you please?"
Sang Wan's face suddenly turned hot.
This man...
Before she could retort, he responded with even more aggressive words.
"If I don't love you, I will... please you?"
Sang Wan felt like her ears were about to burn. How could he say such explicit words in broad daylight?
She was embarrassed and annoyed, and reached out to push his chest, "Lu Tingzhou, do you have any shame?"
Lu Tingzhou took advantage of the situation and pulled her into his arms, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist, making her unable to move.
He lowered his head to look at her, who was filled with shame and anger, with a smile and deep doting in his eyes.
"I love you."
He finally said it.
He didn't shout, but spoke it in an extremely clear and solemn tone, word by word, to her alone.
“You can hear it, you can feel it, and others can see it.”
Sang Wan was speechless for a moment after hearing his words.
Yes, his love is never just on his lips.
But he protected her with his actions.
Sang Wan's heart softened like a pool of spring water.
She buried her face in his strong chest and uttered a muffled "hmm".
The two of them snuggled by the lake for a long time. Sang Wan looked at the glass house on the lake with great interest, "Let's go into that glass house. It should be very nice to sit inside and look at the lake view."
The curtains of the glass house opposite were drawn tightly, and I couldn't see inside clearly.
Lu Tingzhou's eyes were deep, and a smile flashed across his lips. "Let's take a walk first, and then go over there at night. It will be better to see the stars."
Sang Wan thought it made sense, so she took his arm and walked forward, then sat down in the pavilion by the lake.
At this time, a staff member came over with a tray, "Mr. Lu, this is what you wanted."
Lu Tingzhou nodded slightly, "Thank you."
Sang Wan pursed her lips and asked with a smile, "What's in here?"
Lu Tingzhou raised his eyebrows, "You were talking about it in your dream last night."
Sang Wan was puzzled, "Did I talk in my sleep?"
"Not only was he talking in his sleep, but he was also drooling a lot."
Looking at the serious look of the man in front of her, Sang Wan blushed. She thought of the first time she slept with Lu Tingzhou.
She had a bad sleeping posture. She was supposed to be sleeping soundly, but when she woke up in the morning, she was lying on top of someone. Lu Tingzhou's chest was wet with her saliva.
Lu Tingzhou's expression at that time was hard to describe.
When they slept together for the first time, the other person woke up with a blushing face and a pounding heart, while she felt embarrassed and awkward.
Seeing that she obviously believed it, Lu Tingzhou stopped teasing her. He picked up the lid of the tray, which contained candied haws of various flavors.
Hawthorn, strawberry, cherry tomato, yam bean, and green grape, all kinds of them.
"It seems like I really was talking in my sleep. Otherwise, how did you know I wanted to eat these?"
She really wanted to eat something sour and sweet these days.
Pick up a string of authentic candied haws, take a bite, and feel instantly satisfied.
He ate one himself and put his hand on Lu Tingzhou's lips, "Try it too."
Lu Tingzhou looked at her satisfied expression, opened his mouth and took a bite, his eyes full of doting.
…
As night falls, the lake is covered with shimmering light and the night sky is dotted with stars.
Back in the room, Lu Tingzhou handed her a handbag like a magic trick.
"Go change."
Sang Wan took it in confusion and pulled out a champagne-colored haute couture dress. "Any other events?"
Lu Tingzhou smiled mysteriously and pointed to the glass house with warm light in the center of the lake in the distance.
"There's a gift prepared for you in the glass room. You have to open it yourself."
Sang Wan didn't take it seriously and smiled, "It's just a gift, is there any need to dress so beautifully?"
"It has to be a ceremony." Lu Tingzhou insisted, pinching her cheek. "Go quickly, change, and after you open your presents, we can watch the stars there."
Sang Wan felt helpless and amused by his "sense of ceremony"—why he had to dress so formally just to open a present? But she couldn't resist him and took the skirt into the bathroom.
A few minutes later, when she came out, the amazement in Lu Tingzhou's eyes almost overflowed.
The champagne-colored silk dress made her skin look as white as jade, and her graceful and exquisite curves made his heart flutter.
He walked forward, put a white cashmere shawl on her, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go, my little princess."
Sang Wan felt a little embarrassed when he called her "Princess". She took his arm and walked along a glass corridor with floor lights on, heading towards the glass house in the center of the lake.
The further they walked, the more Sang Wan felt something was wrong.
