Chapter 184 If He Really Ran Away
The whole bottle of wine was finished before they knew it. Nie Yao didn't even know if it was the alcohol that heated up the atmosphere between them, or if it was his words that had an effect...
They were already hugging each other before they even finished their candlelight dinner. She should have been more awake, but his scent and touch were as familiar as in her dreams, making her unable to resist...
In a daze, her clothes fell off. He held her in his arms. Looking at the flickering candlelight, she regained some of her senses. She quickly pushed Li Jinxing's shoulder and said, "Blow out the candle, otherwise it will be easy to get into trouble..."
Li Jinxing then let out a low breath, blew out the candle, and carried her into the room.
This time, it wasn't a dream, but a real touch and entanglement. Nie Yao didn't know why, but she could respond to him so skillfully, as if they were born to be a couple...
Later, when she was so tired that she wanted to stop, he was still very strong. He just kissed her sweaty forehead, smiled lightly and comforted her, "Your physical strength has declined compared to before, which is not good for future archaeological excavations..."
Nie Yao's face was dark. She placed her hands weakly on his shoulders and glared at him: "So I should thank you?"
A low laugh escaped from Li Jinxing's throat. He kissed the corner of her lips again and whispered, "No need to thank me. Let's continue..."
Nie Yao wanted to say something, but was blocked by his kiss.
After an unknown amount of time, Nie Yao first tried to stop him, then shouted at him with all her might, "Li Jinxing, have you forgotten that your wound hasn't fully healed yet and you can't exercise too vigorously?"
"It's okay. I've already had Doctor Zhao take a look. He said the wound has healed and it won't affect this situation..."
“…” Nie Yao was speechless for a moment.
It wasn't until he contentedly carried her to the bathroom and helped her clean up that Nie Yao finally came to her senses. She leaned against him and said lazily, "I regret it..."
Li Jinxing paused, looked at her annoyed expression, and suddenly laughed: "It's too late to regret now..."
Nie Yao snorted in frustration, then muttered softly, "If I really wanted to run away, could you still hold me back?"
"If you really run away one day, I will issue a missing person notice worldwide. With a huge reward, I will have no problem finding you..." Li Jinxing bit her earlobe and said with a smile.
Nie Yao sat up straight with her eyes wide open, rolling her eyes at him: "Are you crazy?"
Li Jinxing smiled noncommittally, stroked her forehead, raised an eyebrow and said, "If you don't believe me, just try it. But since you've become mine, don't even think about escaping from my grasp!"
Nie Yao groaned in dissatisfaction and whispered, "Just try it. I don't believe you can find me by running to the wilderness to do archaeological excavations..."
Li Jinxing didn't hear the murmur clearly. He just carried her back to the cleaned bed, kissed her forehead, and said with a smile: "It's late, go to sleep..."
Nie Yao was indeed tired and sleepy. She responded softly, lay in his arms, and quickly fell asleep.
Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Li Jinxing did not return to his room. Instead, he adjusted his posture, spread out the quilt, and hugged her, smelling the faint fragrance from her hair and feeling her warmth. He felt unprecedented peace.
It has been a long time since he had a good night's sleep... Only Nie Yao can make him feel at ease!
Li Jinxing curled the corners of his lips slightly, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep with her.
