Chapter 17 You can do whatever you want...
Huo Lan loosened his tie, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at her languidly, as if he were ready to be taken advantage of.
Jiang Shiyuan had no idea what he was going to do, so she silently walked to the desk next to her, turned on the computer, and prepared to sort out her recent work progress.
Huo Lan's mischievous smile gradually faded, and his face became extremely gloomy.
He stared intently at Jiang Shiyuan's retreating figure, his tone as cold as winter, "Are you just going to leave me hanging?"
Jiang Shiyuan did not turn around, but continued to organize the written materials.
"You said we'd be listening to a report in two hours, and I'm just following your instructions."
"Didn't you hear me when I said you need to please me?"
Huo Lan stood up from the sofa and walked towards her, bending down to pull her into his arms, his tall figure completely enveloping her.
He gently rubbed his nose against the nape of her neck, lightly licking it. Seeing that Jiang Shiyuan remained unmoved, he opened his mouth and bit the soft flesh of her cheek.
He only released Jiang Shiyuan when she hissed softly in pain, his fingertips constantly rubbing the reddened cheek he had bitten.
Why do you always do things that upset me?
Jiang Shiyuan frowned, looking aggrieved. "No way, I'm just doing the task you assigned me."
"You're the best at making excuses."
Huo Lan straightened up. "Now that the first task is canceled, you can focus on the second task."
Jiang Shiyuan stubbornly stared at the computer screen, still resisting, "I don't want to..."
"So you want everyone to know that I'm in your room right now?"
Jiang Shiyuan then closed her laptop, glaring at Huo Lan with a huff, "Fine, fine, tell me, what do you want to do?"
Huo Lan then wiped the gloom off his face and sat back down on the sofa. "Come here, straddle my lap and play with me."
"ah!?"
"What are you still standing there for? Do you want me to wait for you to prepare?" Huo Lan's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at Jiang Shiyuan with lustful eyes. "Today, it's your turn to take the initiative... You can do whatever you want."
Jiang Shiyuan's mind was about to explode. She couldn't understand why the big boss who was just outside, who was so decisive and efficient, had suddenly turned into a puppy begging her to ravage him in her bed.
The contrast was so stark that she froze, unable to think straight.
What's more, she's always been the one being taken from him, so why has she suddenly changed her tune today?
Could it be that he's angry because I rejected that blue diamond?
Jiang Shiyuan didn't dare to tease him, fearing that if she angered him, he would retaliate even more severely.
So she declined softly, saying, "It's still daytime..."
"What? Do we have to differentiate between day and night for doing this kind of thing? Can't we just do it whenever we feel like it?"
Huo Lan tapped the sofa lightly with his fingertips, the rhythm unhurried, yet telling her that his patience was running out.
"Shi Yuan, don't make me say it a third time, come and sit on my lap."
Jiang Shiyuan was afraid that Huo Lan would be unhappy and reveal their relationship, so she sank her heart and straddled him.
Huo Lan stared at her intently, saying nothing, but hinting at the next step.
Jiang Shiyuan had no choice but to start unbuttoning his shirt, wrap her arms around his neck, and begin to kiss his lips tenderly.
His lips were soft and easy to kiss. She could clearly see each of his long eyelashes and see her reflection in his pupils.
She had to admit that she was happy every time she was with him, and that the intense pleasure she experienced was no less than his.
He was more proactive, and she played hard to get.
Huo Lan admired her emotional expression, feeling incredibly satisfied, but he was still very afraid.
He was afraid she would leave, afraid she would be indifferent, afraid she would be apathetic, afraid she would always want him to marry someone else, and afraid she would never shed a tear for him.
As he thought of this, tears welled up in his eyes, and a single tear slid down his cheek.
Jiang Shiyuan wiped away the tear and asked him, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Huo Lan lifted her up and pressed her down heavily, hearing her whimper.
"You said you love Huo Lan."
Jiang Shiyuan was so engrossed in her pleasure that she didn't hear what he was saying and ignored him.
Then he kept repeating it over and over, insisting that she say those words.
"You said you love Huo Lan, okay?"
Jiang Shiyuan finally understood what he was saying. She was a little stunned, but quickly responded obediently, "I love Huo Lan."
The four short words were fleeting, yet they were precisely captured in Huo Lan's ears, sounding so pleasant that they sent shivers down his spine.
“Baby, please say it again, okay? Say you love Huo Lan, say you will never leave Huo Lan.”
Jiang Shiyuan was limp all over, and the words he spoke seemed to be soaked in water, washing over his heart again and again.
“I...I love Huo Lan, and I will never...never leave Huo Lan.”
Huo Lan groaned, and his unfocused pupils finally focused.
He held Jiang Shiyuan, who was now completely limp, tightly in his arms and sighed.
"Good girl."
Afterwards, he took her back to bed, cleaned her up with a towel, and dressed her in the haute couture dress she hadn't worn since leaving the Bell Pavilion.
Jiang Shiyuan refused weakly, but she couldn't resist his strength.
Huo Lan pinched her earlobe and tucked her sweaty hair behind her ear. "Shi Yuan, these are all gifts for you. If you don't accept them, you're being naughty, and you'll be punished, understand?"
"The punishment next time won't be so simple. Guess what it is?"
Jiang Shiyuan was resting with her eyes closed, but she still heard these words and shook her head.
"The Huo family is still missing a child..."
These words instantly snapped Jiang Shiyuan back to reality, and she opened her eyes to look at him.
Huo Lan, his face showing barely concealed hurt, laughed and said, "Isn't this punishment too harsh?"
He gently stroked her cheek, his voice filled with tenderness, "So you have to be obedient, otherwise what if you can't bear to leave after having a child?"
After Huo Lan finished speaking, he began to straighten his clothes. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Jiang Shiyuan grabbed his wrist and placed it on his wound.
He groaned in pain and looked at Jiang Shiyuan pitifully.
He has a high pain tolerance, but she wanted her to hear it and discover it for herself.
Jiang Shiyuan let go of his hand and got up from the bed.
"What's wrong?"
After saying that, he went to unbutton his cufflinks.
Huo Lan pretended to struggle a few times, letting Jiang Shiyuan unbutton his cuffs and discover the bandage tightly wrapped around his wrist.
He had only asked her to unbutton her blouse, not to take it off, and she only realized it now.
Jiang Shiyuan asked, "What happened?"
Huo Lan buttoned up his sleeves, put on his coat, and resumed his indifferent and aloof demeanor.
"It's nothing, just a minor injury."
"Does a minor injury need to be bandaged like this? With so many bodyguards around you, how could you get hurt?"
Jiang Shiyuan began to feel a little scared. She knew a little about the things that happened in their wealthy family.
Several collateral branches of the Huo family have been eyeing the Huo family's ancestral property every day, trying every means to snatch it from Huo Lan's hands, and naturally they have many ways to hurt him.
"Is it Huo Lianyu and the others?"
Huo Lan's focus wasn't on the family feud Jiang Shiyuan mentioned, but rather on the bittersweet worry Jiang Shiyuan expressed: "Are you worried about me?"
Jiang Shiyuan felt that Huo Lan's expression was a bit too relaxed. "Otherwise what? Don't think you're so great. Even the most capable person makes mistakes."
Huo Lan said casually, "If you're so worried about me, then marry me and take charge of me as Mrs. Huo."
He carefully observed Jiang Shiyuan's expression upon hearing those words. He saw that the worry in her eyes was covered by displeasure, and he knew that she had rejected him again. So he hardened his heart.
"Given our current relationship, what right do you have to worry about me?"
Huo Lan was already dressed, looking at her with an icy expression, as if she were a plaything.
"All you need to do is stay by my side and let me play with you."
She didn't know why Huo Lan suddenly said such a thing, and for a moment she was overwhelmed with pain. She just stared at him blankly, her eyes reddening.
Huo Lan didn't want to see her sad, but she was the one who broke his heart first.
"Isn't this the result you wanted?"
"They threw away hundreds of millions worth of diamonds like that, and ran away without a second thought when they didn't want me anymore, and they've been gone for three years..."
When Huo Lan thought about the past three years, a suffocating pain began to throb in his heart again.
"If I hadn't found you, would you have never seen me again in this lifetime?"
Jiang Shiyuan did not answer his question about running away, but only argued, "I didn't throw it away, I just put it back."
Is there a difference?
Huo Lan glanced down and saw the pink diamond butterfly bracelet on Jiang Shiyuan's wrist, and her mood improved slightly. At least she was still wearing that bracelet.
Even though this bracelet could be used to locate her, he had insisted that she never take it off.
He simply couldn't bear the thought of Jiang Shiyuan leaving his control; otherwise, he would lose control, go crazy, and do even more extreme things.
"From now on, every day at 9 a.m., 12 p.m., and 8 p.m., if you are not with me, you must send me a message to tell me what you are doing. If you do not send a message at any of these times, I will take the initiative to come and find you."
Huo Lan walked to the bedside and pulled her into his arms. "I don't care what you think, you can only belong to me, and everything you have is mine."
"I've already been very accommodating to you, Shi Yuan."
Huo Lan kissed her pale, cold lips and continued, "If I hadn't given in to you, you wouldn't be here right now. You'd be stuck in Bell Pavilion, locked up, only able to see me, only able to think of me, only able to be kissed and held by me..."
"Why are you crying again?"
Huo Lan looked down at the beauty in his arms, whose nose was red. Tears only made her more beautiful and alluring.
"So beautiful. Looks like I'll have to make you cry a few more times so I can see such a mesmerizing expression more often."
After saying that, he covered her lips with his again, but this time Jiang Shiyuan kept her mouth tightly shut, refusing to let him in no matter what.
"Are you angry?" Huo Lan released her, grinning mischievously. "You were the one who teased me just now, and now you don't want me to kiss you?"
Seeing that Jiang Shiyuan remained stubbornly silent, Huo Lan asked again, "Didn't you ask me how I got injured here?"
Huo Lan looked at his wrist. "It's because the thought of you leaving me makes me feel like I'd rather die."
Jiang Shiyuan finally spoke up, "Huo Lan, why? Why can't it end?"
"Do you really want this to end?" Huo Lan's expression was slightly hurt, but then she laughed again. "Then why were you so comfortable just now? How will you find this kind of pleasure without me?"
Fearing that Jiang Shiyuan would continue to be angry, he suddenly pressed his forehead against hers and closed his eyes.
"The meeting is canceled, you don't need to give a work report, you can get some rest."
He didn't like the feeling of confronting her; he wanted to live a peaceful and harmonious life with her.
But for some reason, whenever he expressed a desire to be with her and to make her his Mrs. Huo, she would firmly refuse.
It seemed their relationship could only go this far, which made him angry.
Huo Lan didn't linger for long. He was afraid that if she said something he didn't like, he would lose his temper again.
Jiang Shiyuan sat in the room for a long time. She was well aware of the class difference between herself and Huo Lan, and she could not tolerate his possessiveness that made him monitor her almost all the time.
She could be his lover, his canary, but she could never be his wife; they were separated by vast distances.
Shortly after, a message came in the work group that Lao Chen was informing everyone that the meeting was canceled and that everyone was free to do whatever they wanted that evening.
Just then, a commotion arose in the hall, as if some guest had arrived. Soon after, Tang Tang rushed to her room to find her.
"Sister Shiyuan, come out quickly, a beautiful girl is looking for you."
Looking for me?
Jiang Shiyuan quickly combed her messy hair and made sure she was dressed neatly before leaving the house.
In the lobby of Wuzhu Pavilion sat a beautiful woman dressed in a light green cheongsam. She walked up behind her so her face was not visible, but her slender figure and ethereal temperament were evident.
After walking up to the man, Jiang Shiyuan asked, "Hello, are you looking for me?"
The beauty raised her head, her face rosy and her eyes almond-shaped, her lips pale and delicate, she looked as beautiful as if she had stepped out of an ancient painting.
The woman's beautiful eyes swept over Jiang Shiyuan with admiration as she looked him up and down, then asked, "You are Jiang Shiyuan?"
She nodded, not understanding what this person wanted from her; she didn't know her.
"You are really beautiful."
Jiang Shiyuan was a little confused by her compliment, so she politely replied that she was also very beautiful, and the two beauties complimented each other for a while.
“My name is Shen Chuqing. Teacher Feixuan asked me to come and find you. She said that one of her paintings is a bit damaged and she wants to see if you have any way to repair it.”
Jiang Shiyuan was somewhat reluctant to go. Although she had long expected that Xu Feixuan would definitely come to see her alone one day, she was still a little apprehensive when that day actually came.
The woman in front of me is called Teacher Xu Feixuan. Is she her student?
