Time seemed to stand still; only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard...
Xu Neng lowered his head, his gaze meeting her watery eyes. He couldn't help but stroke her cheek and carefully lean down.
His lips lightly touched her forehead, then kissed the tear that had just slipped from the corner of her eye...
In a daze, Xu Neng caught a glimpse of that delicate pale pink color. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was her lips. He gently touched them with his own lips; they tasted like peaches…
Wang Feifei lowered her head, not daring to look at him, her face flushed with embarrassment, which made Xu Neng even more aroused. He couldn't help but touch her again until he held her lips in his mouth...
After truly tasting it, he became even more unable to resist. Xu Neng listened to her murmurs, which made him unable to control himself.
He hesitated and tried to hold back, but still left that soft spot...
He pulled her into his arms again, almost snapping her slender waist in two...
Perhaps due to her intense emotions or the tight embrace, the towel covering Wang Feifei's chest had come undone and was now falling off layer by layer.
Xu Neng was caught up in the emotions and didn't notice any of this. By the time he realized it, the woman in his arms was only wearing the last layer of a bath towel.
His eyes were red, and his fair and smooth skin was almost exposed. In the end, he suppressed his anger, gripping the corner of the bath towel to prevent it from slipping down.
Xu Neng didn't want to take advantage of her when she was at her most vulnerable, even though he really wanted to. However, she had never truly expressed her love, and he didn't want to take advantage of her vulnerability...
That kiss left Wang Feifei's mind blank, and her body trembled slightly from the shock. Xu Neng, however, thought she was cold.
So Xu Neng picked up a bath towel, placed it over her shoulders, and gently asked:
Are you cold?
Wang Feifei said she wasn't cold, but her shoulders were trembling slightly. This was nothing like the overly alert Wang Feifei she was supposed to be.
This immediately aroused Xu Neng's protective instincts.
Xu Neng let out a muffled groan, then suddenly leaned forward, his arm moving down with the force to lift her buttocks and pick her up in one swift motion.
The movement was so sudden that Wang Feifei was startled, only then realizing that she had been lifted into the air, her toes off the ground, and slowly became as tall as Xu Neng...
Xu Neng was very strong, and Wang Feifei sat steadily in his lap. His high, straight nose would often accidentally brush against Wang Feifei's little nose, making it ticklish...
It was the first time Wang Feifei had seen his face up close. She realized that his handsome and resolute features could become extremely alluring when he was in love.
Those affectionate eyes were sometimes like spring water, sometimes like flames...
Wang Feifei dared not meet his gaze again, and could only turn her body slightly away, gently resting her head on his shoulder, murmuring:
"Put me down..."
Holding the delicate beauty in his arms, Xu Neng was reluctant to put her down. His lips were so close to Wang Feifei's that even a soft "wait a minute" could easily reach her ears.
The husky quality in his voice made Wang Feifei's heart tremble...
Nestled against broad shoulders, the pungent scent of sandalwood made Wang Feifei feel slightly dazed. When she came to her senses, she found herself being carried to the bedroom.
She tensed up slightly, her muscles tightening, and softly called out, "Xu Neng..."
Xu could sense her unease and whispered to comfort her:
"Don't be afraid, I'll find you some pajamas."
Xu Neng placed Wang Feifei on the bed, pulled over the blanket next to her, gently draped it over her, and then turned to open the wardrobe.
He saw his own suit and shirt, mixed in with the colorful clothes, and his gaze lingered for a moment.
Then he picked out a light-colored loungewear set and handed it to Wang Feifei:
"Put these on, don't catch a cold."
Wang Feifei was a little dazed, clutching the blanket. Had she almost lost control just now because she was being flirted with?
I touched my lips lightly with my finger, and they were still numb. I was so embarrassed that I buried my face in the blanket...
Just a few seconds ago I was telling him not to come, how did I suddenly end up being carried to bed?
Wang Feifei tried hard to calm herself down, but Xu Neng's face when he was aroused and the image of being held in his arms just now kept flashing in her mind.
When she was very young, her father always loved to hold her like that...
Suddenly, a clanging sound came from outside, as if Xu Neng was fiddling with something in the kitchen:
"It's so late, is Xu Neng cooking?"
Just as she thought of this, Wang Feifei realized she was a little hungry. She was in a bad mood today and didn't feel like cooking, so she only ate half a steak for dinner.
That was so intense, I'm even hungrier now...
After a while, she heard a knock on the door:
"Feifei, come out and get something to eat."
Wang Feifei quickly put on her clothes, and walked out awkwardly, stopping every few steps.
Xu Neng was standing in the restaurant, busy with his work, when a small pizza was placed in the middle of the table.
Xu Neng carefully used a knife to separate the cheese, and the thick cheese stretched into long strands, releasing a rich aroma...
The dough was also sprinkled with a lot of bacon, sausage, sweet corn, and even pineapple, all of which were found in the refrigerator.
Xu Neng filled Wang Feifei's plate with a large piece, making the cow under the table meow with envy.
Upon seeing Wang Feifei arrive, Xu Neng stopped what he was doing, his eyes crinkling with a smile as he said:
“I noticed you didn’t eat much for dinner, so I made something to eat. The dough didn’t ferment in time, so I had to use a few scallion pancakes instead. The taste might be a little different.”
Looking at the tempting ingredients on the pizza, Wang Feifei couldn't help but praise it:
"It looks delicious."
"It tastes good too." Xu Neng smiled and handed her a glass of freshly squeezed juice.
The cheese is rich and creamy, the crust is crispy, and the bacon and sausage are pre-fried, giving off a barbecue aroma. The sweet corn and pineapple are refreshing and help to cut through the richness...
After eating, her mood improved. Remembering what Xu Neng had said earlier, Wang Feifei asked:
"Were you being monitored today? Did you run into some trouble?"
"Yes, but it's already been resolved."
"Xu Neng, um... I... killed someone today..."
Wang Feifei's eyes darted away; what had happened today was simply too surreal for her.
Although she hated Chu Xiang, when she calmed down and thought about how he looked before he died—his eyes wide open, the blood gushing out, and the arrow piercing his forehead…
Wang Feifei felt a deep fear rising within her. Seeing her frightened expression, Xu Neng quickly comforted her:
"This was self-defense. You were very brave today. Protecting yourself is the most important thing. The moment he came to your door, you shouldn't even think about leaving alive."
After listening, Wang Feifei calmed down a little.
Xu Neng checked the time. Although he needed to get back to the base before dawn, seeing the helpless Wang Feifei, he couldn't bring himself to say anything and decided to stay with her a little longer...
