Chapter 184
After driving for more than three hours, Lei Tingjun took Ji Wanmei back to Pingquan County.
Returning to Pingquan after more than a month, both of them felt a mix of emotions.
When Lei Tingjun left, he was so desolate and forlorn. Ji Wanmei would never forget that day when he sat in front of her shop, carrying his luggage and under the scorching midday sun, waiting to see her one last time and say goodbye.
His gaze made Ji Wanmei feel uncomfortable for a long time.
In the car, the two talked a lot, but they didn't mention Ji Xingguo at all.
Lei Tingjun knew that Ji Xingguo was not going to accept him right now.
Ji Wanmei also knew that her father was always a barrier in Lei Tingjun's heart.
If they want to be together, they ultimately need to gain Ji Xingguo's approval.
Even though they are now mutually in love, it is still not a good time to confess to Ji Xingguo.
After parking the car, Lei Tingjun took two boxes of health supplements from the back seat and said to Ji Wanmei, "These are for your dad. I didn't know what he liked, so I bought some supplements and a box of mooncakes. It just so happens that the holiday is also the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Take it back, but don't say I bought it."
Ji Wanmei glanced at the things he had bought. This man always thought of her so thoughtfully. She felt a little bad and leaned forward to hug him: "I'm sorry, Lei Tingjun."
"Why are you apologizing to me?" Lei Tingjun pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. "It's clearly my fault for not doing well enough and making things difficult for you."
Ji Wanmei shook her head, nestled in his arms.
No, you've done very well.
The staff compound of the Dongfang Factory was not far ahead. Ji Xingguo was waiting for Ji Wanmei at home. Since Lei Tingjun couldn't take her inside, he could only find a place to park nearby.
But the journey only took a little over three hours, and he was driving the whole time, so he didn't have much of a chance to take a good look at her or hug her.
The deep longing for her that had been building up in his heart was not soothed in the slightest; on the contrary, it became even more agonizing because of this brief reunion and hasty separation.
Lei Tingjun turned his head and glanced at the staff compound. It was past five o'clock in the afternoon, and more and more people were coming and going in the compound.
"I'll escort you in through the side door. You have a lot of stuff, it's hard to carry." Lei Tingjun didn't want to miss a single second with her.
The compound has a main gate and a side gate.
The main gate is convenient for entry and exit, but it is crowded with people. The side gate is less crowded, but you have to walk around the street for about 200 meters after exiting it.
However, behind Ji Wanmei's family's courtyard, just a short distance from the side gate.
In the past, when Lei Tingjun came to Ji Wanmei's house to see her, he often used the side door.
Ji Wanmei was reluctant to part with him like this. She watched him get out of the car carrying the big bags and small bags that the two of them had bought, and walked with him towards the side gate of the compound.
As they were about to arrive home, the two of them suddenly fell silent.
Ji Wanmei turned and glanced at the side door: "...Then, shall I go in?"
Lei Tingjun looked at her, his Adam's apple bobbing. He desperately wanted to keep her with him, but he couldn't speak.
"Okay, spend more time with your dad. I'll pick you up again at 1 p.m. on the 7th."
Ji Wanmei took the things from his hands, stepped through the small door, walked a few steps into the alley, and then turned back to look at him again.
That one glance contained a multitude of emotions.
Lei Tingjun's dark eyes surged with emotion. He clenched his fists and held back for a moment before suddenly calling out to her, "Ji Wanmei."
He strode forward, stepped into the courtyard, grabbed Ji Wanmei by the back of her head, pressed her against the courtyard wall, and kissed her fiercely.
This kiss was wild, urgent, and filled with an overwhelming longing.
He held Ji Wanmei in his arms, cupped her neck and cheeks, and eagerly sought her sweet saliva.
The things Ji Wanmei was carrying in both hands suddenly fell to the ground, and she raised her arms to hug his neck.
The kiss he gave her this time was like a cold wind in the wilderness, accompanied by the taste of bone-scraping and tobacco.
The intense masculine aura emanating from his broad chest almost overwhelmed her.
He lifted Ji Wanmei's neck and jawline with both hands, like a swan stretching its neck to sing. Lei Tingjun followed those beautiful lines and pressed his moist, hot lips against them.
In a secluded side gate, at a hidden corner of the courtyard wall, a tall, broad-shouldered man in a white shirt, rugged, aloof, and sexy, was passionately kissing a slender, delicate, and graceful girl.
His drooping neck resembled that of a resilient and vigorous pine tree.
Her long, slender, and fair neck, held high, resembled a tender, lingering thread of love, clinging, stirring, and captivating men's hearts.
He held her waist, making her fit perfectly against him, and his lips and teeth forcefully explored her depths, sucking greedily.
"Ugh..." Ji Wanmei almost drowned in the fervor he gave her.
This man, though seemingly lonely and silent, never minced words when expressing his feelings and longing for her through his body. He was headstrong, passionate, and unrestrained, giving and taking so much that Ji Wanmei could not bear it.
After a long while, almost feeling that Ji Wanmei could no longer breathe, Lei Tingjun reluctantly let go of her.
He buried his burning face in her hair, his husky, sexy voice whispering in her ear, "Meimei, I can't bear to see you leave..."
Ji Wanmei's chest rose and fell slightly as she raised her hand to stroke his short, stiff black hair, and sighed, "I can't bear to be separated from you either."
Ji Wanmei's house was right in front of them, and no matter how reluctant they were, they had no choice but to stop there.
Lei Tingjun helped her pick up her things from the ground, stood there, and gazed intently at her as she walked into the courtyard.
Falling in love with someone is like creating a belief.
Life is illuminated by this faith.
From then on, wherever she was, that place became his light.
Ji Wanmei dared not turn around to look at the man behind her again.
She knew he hadn't left; his burning, focused gaze had never left her.
She walks forward, while he stays where he is, watching over her and waiting for her.
She was afraid that if she looked back even once more, she would be unable to resist running back to him.
Ji Wanmei raised her hand and touched her swollen, beautiful lips, which he had kissed.
She didn't know what she looked like at that moment. Her lips, as red and alluring as roses, had just been lovingly kissed by a man. They were delicate, full, and glistening with moisture. Her clear and bright eyes were now as gentle as ripples on water. With every frown and smile, she exuded a shy and timid affection.
If she goes back like this, her father will definitely notice something is wrong.
Before reaching home, Ji Wanmei stopped, took out a compact powder from her small handbag, and patted it onto her lips to make herself look less rosy-cheeked before continuing on her way.
Ji Xingguo was pruning the flowers and plants in the courtyard. Knowing that his daughter was coming back today, he was overjoyed.
Ji Wanmei composed herself and called out happily towards the courtyard gate, "Dad, I'm back!"
