Chapter 126 Baby, I can't sleep without you.
Upstairs, Yan Tingnan's private residence.
Just one floor away, the upstairs world is completely different.
Downstairs, there was extreme restraint and restlessness; for the first time in his life, Lu Zhuo suppressed his agitation and chose to protect.
Upstairs, things have spiraled out of control and become decadent, taking possession to the extreme.
The door had just been closed when I returned from the banquet.
Su Ruan was pinned against the wall in the entryway by Yan Tingnan.
The kisses were overwhelming, carrying the scent of alcohol and the restlessness that had been suppressed all night.
The green gauze skirt was torn and lay limp on the ground, like a crushed summer lotus leaf.
From the entryway to the living room, and then to the master bedroom's bathroom.
He was forced to play the role of being distant from her every second at the dinner party, which completely backfired on his inherent madness.
Over and over again.
He was never satisfied and kept finding new ways to torment her.
By the time everything calmed down, it was already late at night.
Su Ruan was nestled in the newly changed bedding, too exhausted to even glare at him.
The silk quilt slid down to her waist, revealing her shoulders and back marked with mottled red marks.
"I won't be coming tomorrow."
Her voice was hoarse and filled with weariness.
Yan Tingnan bent down, his fingertips brushing against her sweaty temples, gently parting the tangled strands of hair.
Her movements were gentle and meticulous, a stark contrast to her earlier insatiable ferocity.
"You're getting the day off tomorrow."
His voice was still hoarse from the aftermath, and a new craving arose after his initial satisfaction.
Su Ruan closed her eyes and muttered defiantly, her voice tinged with anger.
"They don't even come during holidays."
"My legs are weak, my back aches, and someone is not human."
His nose brushed against the back of her neck, his breath hot.
"It was my fault."
What's the point of admitting your mistake?
It's always the same; he apologizes in bed but never changes.
Su Ruan grumbled, sounding a little annoyed.
"This isn't a date, is it?"
"It's juice."
Yan Tingnan tightened his arms, pulling her even deeper into his embrace.
"Where to?"
He bit her earlobe, his voice deep and hoarse.
"My home, your home, or your company?"
Su Ruan's ears burned as she recalled the absurd attempt at intimacy in the office earlier that day.
"You're really not coming tomorrow?"
He lowered his head, his forehead touching hers, their breaths mingling.
"I'm not coming."
Su Ruan's attitude was very tough this time.
"I'll cook for you tomorrow, I'll make your favorite Sichuan dishes, okay?"
Yan Tingnan lowered her voice even further, her voice hoarse with a coaxing quality.
Su Ruan's eyelashes trembled.
The memory of him wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen softened his otherwise cold and hard demeanor.
I'm a little tempted.
But it's true that I have lower back pain and weak legs.
"I won't eat."
She turned her face away and hardened her heart.
"Sugar-coated bullets."
Yan Tingnan chuckled softly.
"Then I'll go to your house."
He made a pointed remark, using his knee to push apart her legs that were together.
"Your family hasn't tried it yet."
Su Ruan was startled and hurriedly pressed her hand.
"Yan Tingnan! You..."
She glared at him, her eyes still red at the corners, her watery gaze shimmering with the pain of being thoroughly bullied.
It has little deterrent effect; instead, it's alluring.
"Um."
He responded, his palm still gently massaging her lower back.
"Could Mr. Su approve a note granting me permission to provide on-site services?"
Su Ruan's ears burned; she wanted to call him a slut, but then felt that the word was a compliment.
She simply closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.
The man's deep voice crept into my ear.
"Baby."
"I can't sleep when you're not here."
Su Ruan's heart skipped a beat.
Baby?
How could this cold, aloof Buddha utter such sticky, mushy words?
Her eyes widened, wondering if she was hallucinating.
Who are you calling?
"I'm calling you."
He lowered his head and kissed the tip of her nose.
"My baby."
Su Ruan's ears burned instantly, and her heart pounded erratically.
This man lost his mother at a young age and struggled to grow up alone in the man-eating well of the Yan family.
He is very wary, has light sleep, and relies on medication and mantras to calm his mind for many years.
Being able to fall asleep is a luxury, let alone a deep sleep.
But these days, whenever she's around, he always sleeps very soundly.
"Take a break tomorrow."
He knew when to stop teasing her, and simply pulled her closer, resting his chin on the top of her head.
"I'll stay home with you to watch a movie, or just sleep."
He spoke the last two words very slowly.
Su Ruan's tense body gradually relaxed.
Nestled in his arms, his scent filled my nostrils, bringing me a sense of peace.
"You said you'd only sleep."
She mumbled softly, her voice slurred with sleepiness.
"Um."
He responded and gently patted her back with his palm, like soothing a child.
"Sleep well, baby."
...
The next morning.
Yan Tingnan had just finished getting ready, dressed in a black suit.
The gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, concealing a hint of languid contentment in his eyes.
The living room was empty and quiet, with only the faint sound of the coffee machine running.
The doorbell suddenly rang, breaking the silence.
He frowned and glanced at the monitor screen.
Huo Siyue's enlarged face was close to the camera, her eyes darting around.
Yan Tingnan calmly opened the door.
"Brother! Good morning! I was just passing by and thought I'd drop by to see you!"
Huo Siyue squeezed in, her eyes darting around, glancing behind him.
Something's not right.
Something's not right.
The image of the serialized comic she'd been following last night, "The Abstinent Buddha Copies Sutras by Day and Kissing Her by Night!", flashed through her mind.
The plot of the aloof Buddha being dragged down from his pedestal by the little vixen is exactly the same as the development trajectory of her brother and Su Ruan!
And then there was Su Ruan's panting yet trying-to-be-calm voice on the phone last time...
An outrageous yet exciting idea suddenly popped into my head.
These two are definitely hooking up!
It's still a secret relationship!
Her heart raced, and she couldn't sleep all night.
She came over early this morning to check things out.
Yan Tingnan stepped aside to block the view from the living room, his tone icy cold.
"Finished watching? You can go now."
Huo Siyue chuckled awkwardly, her feet seemingly rooted to the spot, and kept inching her way in.
"Oh, don't be so cold."
"I haven't had breakfast yet, do you have anything to eat here?"
She craned her neck, trying to peek inside.
Are you home alone?
"It's strangely deserted."
"Um."
Yan Tingnan picked up his water glass and took a sip.
"Are you very free?"
Yan Tingnan's gaze turned slightly cold, and he was about to issue an order to leave.
Just then, the master bedroom door creaked open.
Su Ruan rubbed her eyes and swayed out, her voice sticky and slurred.
"What time is it, Yan Tingnan?"
"My phone seems to be out of battery..."
The words came to an abrupt halt.
Six eyes met.
The air condensed.
The silk slip dress hung loosely on her body, the neckline slipping down to reveal half of her collarbone.
Red marks, interspersed with teeth marks, spread from her neck all the way into the depths of her skirt.
Huo Siyue's pupils dilated, and her lips trembled.
His finger trembled as he pointed at her, then at Yan Tingnan.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single sound.
"you……"
"You really..."
Holy crap!
It's confirmed!
She was internally screaming like a madman.
Aaaaaah!
My favorite couple slept together!
Comics become reality!
These marks! This battle situation!
My kid is awesome!
Su Ruan instantly regained her senses.
The blood rushed to my head with a bang, then vanished in a flash.
This is terrible.
A major arrest operation!
They still got caught by the CP leader!
She instinctively clutched her collar, her toes curled up, and she felt so embarrassed she wanted to evaporate on the spot.
Yan Tingnan reacted quickly, taking a few steps forward and shielding Su Ruan behind him, his broad shoulders completely blocking Huo Siyue's probing gaze.
When he looked up at Huo Siyue again, his eyes had returned to calm, but contained a warning.
"You didn't see anything."
Huo Siyue suddenly covered her mouth, so excited she almost fainted, and jumped up and down twice.
"I saw it! I saw it!"
"I knew it! You two really did get together!!!"
She was so excited that she was incoherent, her eyes darting frantically between the two of them.
"Brother! You broke your vow! You really broke your vow!"
"And it's broken so thoroughly! So violently!"
