Chapter 85 Anyway, we have a lifetime.
It's 10 PM at the Jiang residence.
Jiang Qingying went home from work today, ate dinner, and felt extremely sleepy, so she went to bed early. After sleeping for a while, she woke up thirsty, put on a silk shawl, and went downstairs to get a drink of water.
The living room was brightly lit. Jiang Qingying stopped at the turn of the stairs, feeling suspicious.
No one was home at the moment. Jiang Chen and Qin Qing had been invited to a banquet and wouldn't be back anytime soon. The servants would usually be off work and in their rooms by this time.
Jiang Qingying carefully descended the stairs, her feet lightly touching the last step. When she saw the man sitting in the living room, her hand holding the handrail froze for a moment, and she stood there stunned.
"Why is Miss awake?"
The auntie passed by carrying a bowl of hangover soup.
"I'm thirsty, so I came down to get some water." Jiang Qingying pointed to Lu Jinyuan, who was lying on the sofa, and asked softly, "Auntie, what's he doing here?"
The aunt glanced at Lu Jinyuan and smiled, "The young master is drunk. From what he said, it seems he came to see you, but I told him you were asleep, so he just sat on the sofa for a while."
"Oh..." Jiang Qingying looked at the hangover soup in her hand, "Then give the soup to him, I'll go get a glass of water."
Auntie: "Okay."
After Jiang Qingying finished her water, she went to the living room. Lu Jinyuan was still sitting in the same position, lounging on the sofa with his head tilted back. His fair skin was flushed pink, and his brows were furrowed, making him look very uncomfortable.
She frowned. In her memory, he had a high alcohol tolerance and could drink a lot without getting flushed. She rarely saw him looking unwell, and she had never seen him drink so much before.
Jiang Qingying stood in front of him, bent down, and brought her face close to admire his pleasingly drunken face.
This guy looks even more handsome when he's drunk and quiet.
Suddenly, the man, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them abruptly. His eyes, which were still bright and shiny from the alcohol, were now glazed over. He stared at her dazed eyes and murmured, "Wife."
"Hmm?" Jiang Qingying straightened up, glanced at the hangover soup that hadn't been drunk yet, and casually reminded him, "Hurry up and drink the hangover soup."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Jiang Qingying's arm was grasped by a large, burning hand, and with a gentle pull, she was carefully seated on his lap. The movement was light, but so sudden that she was startled and whispered, "Watch your stomach!"
He let out a lazy "hmm".
Lu Jinyuan held her waist with his hands, lowered his head, buried his lips and nose in her neck and shoulder, and gently brushed his hot lips against the skin on her neck.
Jiang Qingying flinched, "It tickles..."
Lu Jinyuan was hurt by her evasive actions and held her tightly, refusing to let go, "Wife..."
"Um."
"Wife..."
"......"
"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please don't ignore me." Lu Jinyuan murmured in her ear with a slight sob in his voice, "I really love you so much."
"I'm sorry for setting up this scheme to make you marry me, but I truly love you."
Jiang Qingying hesitated, placing her hand on his shoulder and twitching her long fingers, but ultimately refrained from interrupting him.
Lu Jinyuan continued speaking in one breath.
"I really don't know what I can do to be with you."
“That day in the hospital room, you said you would divorce me. I was very sad. I was so afraid that you would divorce me. Please don’t leave me.”
"I really love you so much, please don't disbelieve me."
"I've really been punished, please stop sending me messages."
"I miss you so much every day, but you're never home when I get home, and I'm always all alone."
"sorry."
Don't be angry.
"Wife."
......
A torrent of words poured out, without any order or logic, even somewhat chaotic, but the main themes were three apologies, four "I love you"s, and "I like you."
It's incredibly sticky.
Sweet words came flooding in, making one dizzy and overwhelmed.
After Lu Jinyuan finished speaking, he stopped confiding, rested his head on her shoulder, and his breathing became heavier.
I waited for a long time, but received no response.
He tentatively asked, "...Wife?"
Jiang Qingying remained silent.
Lu Jinyuan's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was thinking about saying something else, a female voice came from above.
"A man is three parts drunk, and he'll act until you cry?"
"......"
"Qin Shiming taught you, right?"
"......"
Lu Jinyuan closed his eyes, internally weighing the options of feigning ignorance and feigning death.
Jiang Qingying lowered her eyes and looked at his life-or-death appearance, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Lu Jinyuan, your acting is terrible."
Lu Jinyuan sighed, raised his head to look directly into her eyes, and all the acting on his face disappeared. He said helplessly, "I know you're not easy to fool. I originally wanted to get really drunk, but I had no choice. I got Qin Shiming drunk, and he's still very sober."
“I didn’t notice at first, but when I thought about how you drank with Qin Shiming tonight and then saw the wound on your lip, I had a feeling that he must have given you bad advice.”
Lu Jinyuan pursed his lips, already having figured out how to torture that guy Qin Shiming.
Jiang Qingying smiled broadly, cupped his face in her hands, and sniffed him, seemingly finding it acceptable. The next second, her red lips pressed against his, and she took the initiative to suckle and gently bite his thin lips.
Lu Jinyuan quickly reacted, loosening his jaw to let her tongue slip into his territory. Then, the two intertwined in an atmosphere filled with the aroma of wine.
They've been having a cold war lately; they haven't even touched hands much, let alone kissed.
Oh, right, that sneaky kiss doesn't count.
The familiar feeling of suffocation returned, the warm and moist air stimulating the cerebral cortex. Love arose between breaths, and the sound of water splashing echoed in the empty living room, like birdsong at dawn.
As oxygen ran out, the sweet kisses were replaced by heavy breathing. The man's drunken scent clashed violently with the woman's post-bath fragrance, assaulting the human brain and shattering reason completely.
Lu Jinyuan leaned closer, his two full, moist lips pressed against hers, pecking at her a few times before lingering on her lips. "What do you mean?"
"Huh?" Jiang Qingying pretended to be stupid.
Lu Jinyuan gently pinched her cheek, turned his head and bit her earlobe, whispering, "You kissed me, you took advantage of me."
Jiang Qingying laughed in annoyance, smacked her lips twice, and tasted the tequila in her mouth. "Such a strong taste of alcohol after just one kiss."
"How much have you drunk? Aren't you afraid of the smell wafting at me?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinyuan suddenly realized what was happening and tried to put her down, but she stopped him. He looked up at her and asked silently.
Jiang Qingying looked a little awkward and uncomfortable as she said, "I have something to tell you."
Lu Jinyuan paused for two seconds, then said softly, "Go ahead."
Jiang Qingying met his burning gaze, grabbed the back of his neck and pressed him against her shoulder in a domineering and savage manner, "Don't look at me."
Lu Jinchen chuckled, "Okay."
After a half-minute of silence, Jiang Qingying remained silent.
She clicked her tongue loudly and muttered under her breath, "I've forgotten everything. I should have written it down like you and memorized it a few more times."
“It’s okay, just say whatever comes to mind.” Lu Jinyuan’s lips brushed against her collarbone, his voice low and husky, his breath lingering. “Even though I tried to memorize it that day, I didn’t do it well. I still forgot to mention the car accident. So take your time. If you can’t finish tonight, then we can talk about it later.”
"Anyway, we have a lifetime."
“I wasn’t patient enough with you before, which led to our arguments. I won’t do that again.” He reached out and patted her head gently, saying, “Take your time. If you really can’t say it, then let me guess.”
"I try to guess what you're thinking. I love you and I understand you, so I think I shouldn't be too far off."
