Episode 5: Breaking into the restricted area
"I'm sorry, but when I rang the bell, no one answered, so I thought you were away."
Lin Ying opened her mouth to defend herself, but Jiang Shu walked straight towards her...
Her body stiffened - she was afraid that he would surprise her again like he did last time in the car.
But this time she was overthinking it.
The man simply leaned over, picked up the fallen notebook, closed the pages, and snapped it back into place.
"I just got home and saw your slippers weren't in the foyer, so I guessed you weren't gone yet."
He faced the bookcase, his eyes reflected in the glass, fixed on the row of book covers. Lin Ying couldn't see his expression, but she felt that his tone was not gentle, and even a little annoyed. "I think Aunt Liu told you not to enter my study casually."
She tried to make amends, "...I mean no harm, and I didn't see anything. I'll leave now."
But the other person's arm blocked her path instantly, and she was restrained in front of the bookcase...
"Are you curious about me?"
"…No."
"Then why are you so anxious to come get the clothes and deliberately invade my restricted area while I'm away?"
"Then why did you give me the key?!"
Lin Ying roared in a trembling voice, and for a moment, both of them could only see each other.
"Giving me the key means you're giving me tacit permission to come to the villa when you're not around. If you don't want anyone in your study, you should lock it. You gave me the right to come and go freely, and you didn't lock your restricted area, so why are you blaming me for trespassing? Isn't that a contradiction?"
I blurted it out in one breath, but my heart was beating like a drum.
She's had enough.
I've had enough of his inexplicable temptations, inexplicable seductions, and this damn, taboo, untouchable "forbidden zone"!
"I thought you knew what it meant to give you the key."
"You just want me to sleep with you? Isn't that why you came here? ... You are so filthy."
He chuckled for no reason, a hint of teasing and mockery in his voice, "If you know so much, why did you come? Isn't it because... you have your own thoughts?"
"So what? Who knows if you can satisfy me..."
The predatory kiss silenced her words. It seemed as if the other party had reached the limit of his patience, and also seemed eager to prove her concerns...
Lin Ying's mind completely gave up thinking, and her body gave up resistance. Even more completely than last time in the car, she seemed to have lost her mind and took the initiative to release her lips and teeth to entwine with him. But soon... she realized the shallowness of her own practice.
The other party quickly took over all her breath, crushing her body, and simply pushed her down on the desk to kiss and caress her...
"don't want…"
She refused with her mouth, but her body responded in kind. She was contradictory, and she was playing along.
"Are you sure you don't want to?"
Jiang Shu stopped and questioned her in her ear, wanting to put some distance between them at any time.
Admit it, you want it, Lin Ying.
You are dirty too.
The walnut desk beneath her was particularly stiff, causing her back to ache. Finally, she couldn't help but intervene and stopped his next move.
"Not here, okay?"
The two of them did this in the master bedroom that day.
The first time she crossed the line, she was almost completely confused the entire time.
But she understood that this confusion was just a protective mechanism of the brain against shame.
Jiang Shu took the absolute dominant position. Lin Ying was attacked by a barrage of kisses and was almost at a loss. She didn't even know when the restraints on her body disappeared.
I don't remember how I was peeled off, but I remember the moment the other person peeled off, and the memory came flooding back - I was suddenly splashed with hot spring water, and the drunkenness spread to the depths of my brain.
His actions were so flattering that she easily reached her first orgasm in her life under his control.
She felt dizzy and the world was upside down, and the sound was unbearable. She habitually suppressed it, but Jiang Shu deliberately pushed her palm away, interlocked his fingers with hers, and ordered -
"Scream as much as you want, it's just you and me here!"
His kisses touched her whole body, without reason or restraint. She was like a goldfish out of water, her body slippery and her breath dry, and he was like the boiling water pouring over her body, burning unbearably, but she was still thirsty, unable to satisfy him or keep him.
Agitated, excited, unbridled, it spread to every inch of her nerves, wanting to take her to another world. Her original consciousness was completely dissipated, and new flesh and blood grew there.
I have become a brand new self.
When the last wave came, this chaotic love contest finally came to an end amid her noise.
After handling the condom, Jiang Shu washed his hands before returning to the bedside and patiently helped her clean up...
Everything happened so suddenly that Lin Ying couldn't believe how intimate she had just been with him. He wasn't rough from beginning to end, and even just right, touching every sensitive part of her body with ease...
After all, he was experienced, and exploring a woman's body and making her feel pleasure was nothing new to him.
But it was the first time that Lin Ying felt pleasure from sex.
So this is what it feels like to be pampered and intimate...
She was lost in thought for a long time until Jiang Shu poured a cup of warm water and placed it on the bedside, and reminded her lightly:
"Get up and drink some water. Your throat is dry from shouting for so long."
He stood by the bed, silently putting his seductive figure back into his clothes. Lin Ying got up in a daze, sat on the bed and sipped the water. As her consciousness recovered with the water, her brain resumed functioning. She suddenly asked in a hoarse voice -
"What time is it?"
Jiang Shu glanced at the watch on the bedside table - he had taken it off at that time because he was afraid it would scratch her.
"Six twenty."
Lin Ying suddenly felt like she was facing a formidable enemy and immediately jumped off the bed. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she almost fell to the floor because of her weak legs.
Fortunately, Jiang Shu helped him up and said, "Be careful!"
At this moment, Lin Ying had no time to be affectionate with him. She pushed him away and went to find some scattered clothes on the ground, stuffing her underwear over her naked body...
"I have to go back to my parents-in-law's house for dinner. We're scheduled for 7 o'clock. I'm going to be late..."
She had completely forgotten about this matter, or rather, it never formed muscle memory in her mind. It was only when Yan Yiming reminded her every time that she developed the habit of paying attention to it.
Who could have imagined that this would happen with Jiang Shu today? Who could have imagined that this would last this long...
Seeing Jiang Shu following him downstairs, Lin Ying thought he was going to send her off, and hurriedly stopped him.
"No need for you to send me off, I'll take a taxi..."
"I've got it ready for you."
Jiang Shu sent her a screenshot of the order. Lin Ying looked at the sign that said "The driver will arrive at the designated location soon" and didn't know what to say except "thank you".
She hurriedly put on her shoes and was about to push the door open when Jiang Shu grabbed her elbow again.
"Remember to tell me before you use the key next time."
His eyes were obscure and ambiguous, causing Lin Ying's heart to tremble. She could only reply ambiguously, "Let's talk about it later."
After saying that, she took the initiative to break free from the other person's hand and left the villa.
When the ride-hailing driver asked her for her phone number, she called back Jiang Shu's phone number stored in her phone's address book, but the driver said, "That's not right."
Maybe he has another phone number?
Just when she wanted to call and ask, Jiang Shu also sent a message - it was his personal mobile phone number.
It turns out... before this, he wasn't even allowed to know my private cell phone number.
Only after this experience with him did he become willing to reveal more of his "secrets" to her.
In the kitchen, Jiang Shu stared at the can of milk she had innocently poured out, and the coat she had intended to take but had forgotten to take...
He laughed.
Well, this gives me a reason to tie her up again.
Lin Ying almost arrived at Yan's house on time.
When she arrived, Yan Yiming and his mother Ren Jiahui were laughing on the sofa. It seemed that he was telling some joke to make his mother happy.
However, it had been a long time since Lin Ying laughed at his jokes. Perhaps it wasn't his fault, but Lin Ying's sense of humor was too high.
"Aying is here, shall we have dinner?"
Father-in-law Yan Song was already sitting in the main seat in the restaurant. Seeing Lin Ying's dazed expression, he reminded her and also brought his wife and children back to their senses.
After the four of them sat down, Yan Song opened the champagne, saying it was to celebrate Yan Yiming's completion of a work that took half a year and his successful signing with Tengchun Culture.
"Tengchun is developing very well now, especially in the art agency business. Many of Jufuchang's projects are handled by it."
Yan Yiming sounded smug. Lin Ying originally intended to smile without saying anything, but amidst her parents-in-law's mindless and empty praise, she couldn't help but interrupt.
"Tengchun has great ambitions to expand its offerings this year and is already recruiting various art resources. The exhibition venue I just negotiated this week is also sponsored by Tengchun Culture. The owner has a unique aesthetic and business acumen."
These words were like pouring cold water on Yan Yiming: The reason you were able to get this contract is not because you have strong technical skills, but because the investor is willing to broaden their horizons.
Of course, this is not what Lin Ying meant. She meant to express that my work is not in vain, don’t just care about your own happiness.
However, neither Yan Yiming nor his parents-in-law seemed to think in this direction.
He just kept saying, "Fujiharu is indeed a visionary."
Having known the Yan family for more than ten years, Lin Ying knew very well what her parents-in-law thought of her only precious son. They always praised him, so even though Yan Yiming's development was mediocre now, happiness was still her top priority.
This is nothing, but with her as the new member of the family, she always seems out of place.
Lin Ying grew up with the reputation of being "ordinary". She was never treated as a treasure by anyone, and no one expected her to do anything.
Even though she had the highest GPA and her specialties were always among the best, Lin Jidong didn't care much about her efforts and her joys and sorrows.
It seems that to him, whether his daughter is good or bad is a very normal thing.
Because what he liked about Lin Ying was just to have her marry into the Yan family, take care of the husband and children in the future, and thus consolidate his close ties with the Yan family. Everything else was just icing on the cake and was dispensable.
"Aying, Ming can stay home peacefully for a long time this time. He finally has some free time. Let him spend some time with you!"
If it were a month ago, Lin Ying might have been excited for a few days after hearing this, but at this moment, her first reaction was disappointment.
Disappointed that she had to constantly put on a show in front of this family, disappointed that she had to constantly respond to Yan Yiming's ridiculous jokes, disappointed that she had to frequently make love with him without passion...
"Ah Ming's career is starting to pick up, and Ah Ying is working a nine-to-five job now. Why not take this opportunity to have a baby so your father and I can have him?"
Lin Ying almost bit her tongue. She put down her chopsticks, drank some water, and said nothing.
Yan Yiming was still immersed in his childish indifference, "Again? How old are Aying and I and we already have a child?"
"The sooner you give birth, the sooner you recover. You'll have to give birth sooner or later anyway. It's not like our family can't afford to have another mouth to feed. Ah Ying, you have to keep this in mind."
Lin Ying really couldn't smile this time. She said, "Our team is expanding our business recently and we're short of a business manager. I'd really like to try my hand at the competition."
After hearing this, Yan Song finally revealed his true colors:
"Your cultural center's business operations are all just shuffling, riding on Shanghai's recent craze for street culture to impress the leadership. It's unlikely to accomplish anything significant. If you really want to run a business, you'll inevitably have to deal with all sorts of people, and even travel and be polite. Ah Ming already has to travel a lot just to paint, so if you become unstable, how are we going to run this family in the future?"
"Just telling you, Ah Ying, apart from anything else, it's so hard for a girl to work like this. You marry into our family to enjoy life. If you were tied to work every day...your father would be very mean to us."
Yan Yiming, who hadn't even finished chewing the meat in his mouth, nodded frantically, "Yes, Ah Ying, just stay home and enjoy your life. I'll make money painting for you. What's the point of going to work?"
With the family of three surrounding them like this, Lin Ying had no choice but to surrender.
In this seemingly harmonious and lively family dinner, only she was always outside the atmosphere.
