Chapter 88 Yanxia Likes You
In the dead of night, the estate was silent. The grapevines in the garden swayed in the night wind, unable to bear the weight of the ripe, purplish-red grapes.
With a soft thud, a bunch of grapes fell and burst open.
Juice dripping.
Sitting on the spacious washbasin counter, Cui Yiluo watched the man's thin lips glistening with moisture. His fingertips trembled as he pressed them against the large glass mirror behind him, as if resisting or struggling against something. His fingers pressed down hard, leaving several fingerprints, and a warm mist quickly rose around the fingerprints.
"elder brother……"
Cui Yiluo was calling him almost with her remaining instincts.
She always called him "cousin," but it sounded too strange in bed, so she changed one character. Jiang Yunjin seemed to like it; whenever she changed her voice to call him "brother," his shoulders and back would tremble slightly and tense up even more.
That was a feeling of excitement.
Under the bed, Cui Yilu had never detected any excitement in him, despite his calm and composed demeanor.
Jiang Yunjin raised his thin eyelids and glanced at her. His originally dark and aloof eyebrows and eyes had been replaced by a deep and serious expression. In the warm light of the bathroom, Cui Yiluo even caught a glimpse of the slight glistening on the tip of his handsome nose.
She had already clearly felt the prominence of his nose, and now, looking down at him, his handsome face came into full view, like pure white jade stained black, creating a very strong visual impact.
His hairstyle was the same one he had styled during the day for his presentation, which made him look even more handsome. The man who had been giving a serious and earnest presentation on stage that afternoon had now lowered his head, and his hands, with their distinct knuckles, gripped hers as he held the microphone.
Cui Yiluo could not accept it.
She tugged at the man's black hair with her fingers. He had gotten a new hairstyle today, and the short hair, sprayed with hairspray, was a little painful against her palm.
The light from the wall behind them shone on the two of them.
Jiang Yunjin stood up, his arms resting on the washbasin, his fingers intertwined with hers, like intimate lovers.
He lowered his face to kiss her, and Cui Yiluo instinctively leaned back, her back hitting the glass mirror behind her. The coldness of the mirror made Cui Yiluo shiver; her breath was stolen, filled with his scent, and her own.
His breath brushed against her earlobe, and she heard him whisper, asking for her help.
Cui Yiluo readily agreed, after all, they should help each other out, and since he had helped her, she naturally wanted to reciprocate.
But time was incredibly long, even longer than before. Cui Yiluo felt that it was beyond her capabilities, and she could no longer help him, so she had no choice but to beg him to give up.
He suddenly asked her, "Do you like me?"
Why are they all asking this question today? Lan Hui asked her if she had someone she liked, and Jiang Yunjin, for the first time ever, asked her if she liked him.
Do friends with benefits need to talk about liking each other? However, Cui Yiluo has always adhered to one principle: what is said in bed should not be taken seriously, which means that anything can be said in bed.
So she immediately replied, "I like you."
His dark, ink-black eyes shone brightly in the light. He quickly covered her face, and her lips were kissed even more deeply. A burning sensation spread across her skin, as if it were searing into her soul, making her tremble just like him. Even her freshly washed hair, hanging down, was streaked with tiny specks.
Of course, she had to wash it again. Cui Yiluo lived on the top floor, where Jiang Mingxun and Jiang Zhaoyue, a brother and sister, also lived. Moreover, Lan Hui and Jiang Wen, a married couple, lived downstairs. Even though she knew that the Jiang family's house was very soundproof, she was still terrified and her body was tense with nervousness.
She was only staying at her aunt's house temporarily, yet she acted so outrageously in the room, and the person she was with was Jiang Yunjin, the eldest son of the Jiang family and the most law-abiding of them all...
Warm water flowed over her body repeatedly as Cui Yiluo suppressed her voice. They didn't actually come, because they had no protection. Jiang Yunjin always spent time with her in an apartment near A University or other houses, never doing anything in front of a bunch of relatives and servants, and of course, he wouldn't prepare anything.
He was the most composed and sensible among the younger generation, and all the elders praised him as worthy of being the eldest son. He had maintained a clean reputation for many years, and the most outrageous thing he had ever done was probably maintaining a casual sex relationship with her for almost two years.
Food and sex are human nature, and even Jiang Yunjin is no exception. But Cui Yiluo understands, isn't she the same? What she doesn't understand is why Jiang Yunjin would come directly from his villa to Lan Hui's place tonight, and then close the door and do this kind of thing over and over again, even more forceful than usual.
It's only been less than half a month since we last met, why is he, who is usually so calm, so impatient? The night before the business trip was the same. Cui Yiluo vividly remembers how intense that night was. She almost thought that they wouldn't see each other for more than half a month, but that they would never see each other again.
Suddenly, Cui Yiluo trembled violently, momentarily losing her grip on her lip, but the sound was quickly washed away by the babbling water. Even though she hadn't actually come, the unbearable discomfort was no less intense.
Jiang Yunjin really knows how to torment people.
But they were so perfectly matched, as if they were born to be together. Although Cui Yiluo had never experienced anything with anyone else but him, and the only soul-stirring experience she had ever had was from him, that's how she felt.
In the dead of night, the entire manor was plunged into darkness.
Jiang Yunjin turned off the night light in the room.
Cui Yiluo sank into the soft mattress, pulled up the covers, and was about to go to sleep. Since Jiang Yunjin had come without leaving a trace, he could leave without leaving a trace now. It was already late, and everyone was asleep except for them, so she wasn't worried at all that he would be discovered.
But instead of the expected door closing sound, she was gently pulled back the covers, and then a man's strong arms wrapped around her waist, instantly encircling her body in his warm embrace.
This position was familiar; after they had sex, he would always hold her like this while they slept. At first, Cui Yiluo didn't understand—they were just friends with benefits, so why were they sleeping together?
But she was too tired to think about it in detail, and eventually she got used to it. Cui Yiluo thought it was very simple. There was no template for a friend-with-benefits relationship. They were honest with each other and had already slept together. It was just a matter of sleeping together in each other's arms.
The breathing behind her had become even, but Cui Yiluo was suddenly awakened by her physical exhaustion and drowsiness, and nudged him.
"Cousin, Aunt and the others are here; they'll see us."
Cui Yiluo couldn't imagine the scene of Lan Hui calling her for breakfast tomorrow and seeing her and Jiang Yunjin sleeping naked together.
His arms around her waist tightened, suppressing her resistance. The man's voice was hoarse and indistinct due to drowsiness.
"I'm going to sleep for a while, then I'll leave."
Cui Yiluo didn't say anything.
After a long and heated argument, it was now 3 a.m., and he had been busy all day. In the end, she didn't cruelly insist on kicking him out, but instead quietly set five or six alarms, ranging from 5 a.m. to 5:30 a.m.
If it's any later, I'll definitely run into Lan Hui or Jiang Wen who's up early.
In fact, Jiang Yunjin had always had good living habits. Before they slept together, he always went to bed at 11 pm and woke up at 6 am without fail, and only started working overtime until the early hours of the morning after he got to the company. But later, he and she could always work until almost dawn or even all night.
After setting her alarm, Cui Yiluo put down her phone and went straight to sleep.
His breathing quickly became slow and even.
In the darkness, the man opened his eyes, his gaze dark and intense, half-closed as he looked at the petite woman sleeping soundly in his arms. Although the lights were off, and only a thin layer of moonlight shone in, he could clearly see her face, even the marks he had just left on her.
Below the collarbone, it's densely packed.
He knew how important Lan Hui was to him, so he was willing to keep it a secret for the time being. He told Lan Hui he didn't have anyone he liked only because he was afraid Lan Hui would suspect something was amiss.
She likes him; she just admitted it, didn't she? In other words, if she didn't like him, why would she have dated him for almost two years? And given their physical compatibility, how could there be no love?
He was willing to give her more time.
Even though he thought that way, when he recalled her conversation with Lan Hui in the living room earlier, Jiang Yunjin unconsciously tightened his grip and hugged her even tighter. He knew clearly that he had lost control tonight.
Jiang Yunjin's breathing became heavier.
Cui Yilu felt as if she had barely closed her eyes when the alarm clock rang. She vaguely touched her waist—it was empty—and then touched her back; only a faint warmth remained.
He's gone, gone without a sound.
She slept next to him without being woken up, so Lan Hui and the others would definitely have even less chance of noticing. Cui Yiluo quickly turned off the remaining alarms and went back to sleep peacefully.
At 8:30, the maid came up to wake Cui Yiluo up for breakfast.
Cui Yiluo's mind was still somewhat blank. She mechanically got up and washed up. Jiang Yunjin hadn't forgotten to change her into pajamas last night. The neckline completely covered her collarbone, and her neck was snow-white and clean, as if nothing had happened.
Cui Yiluo pulled her collar down, revealing a dense array of hickeys and bite marks on her collarbone in the mirror.
really.
He was always so contradictory, both restrained and indulgent.
But now that it's almost winter and everyone's dressed warmly, Cui Yiluo doesn't have to worry about covering up her hickeys. In the summer, she sometimes even has to use concealer.
After changing her clothes, Cui Yiluo went downstairs. When she reached the corner of the stairs on the first floor, she heard several people talking. The man's clear and deep voice was particularly noticeable among them.
Cui Yiluo's heart stopped.
Could it be that Jiang Yunjin was discovered when he left this morning?
Cui Yiluo immediately went downstairs and indeed saw the man sitting on the living room sofa in a suit and tie. He had changed out of yesterday's suit and was wearing a black and gray suit today.
Seeing that he had changed his clothes and didn't seem to have been discovered, Cui Yiluo breathed a sigh of relief.
The man suddenly turned around and met her gaze as she stood at the top of the stairs.
Lan Hui and the others followed his gaze and looked over, "Yi Luo."
Lan Hui stepped forward and helped her down, asking with a puzzled look, "Why are your dark circles so heavy? Did you stay up late again last night?"
Cui Yiluo gave a calm "hmm," but couldn't help feeling a little guilty. She'd not just stayed up all night, she'd almost pulled an all-nighter.
Lan Hui obviously didn't notice anything unusual, assuming that she was just staying up late to watch movies as usual. "Go eat breakfast. Auntie made your favorite lotus seed porridge today. Oh, by the way, didn't you say yesterday that you were going back to school to discuss the innovation project? Shenzhi said he was going back to the company, so he'll give you a ride home."
Shenzhi is the courtesy name of Jiang Yunjin. The Jiang family has a deep cultural heritage and is very traditional, having the habit of giving courtesy names to younger generations.
Passing Lan Hui, Cui Yiluo met Jiang Yunjin's gaze again. He sat upright on the sofa with a calm expression, exuding an indescribable aloofness and handsomeness, showing no trace of the lustful look he had when he indulged with her last night.
He seemed like just a good older brother who took care of his younger sister.
Cui Yiluo suddenly remembered a popular saying online: "Don't know each other well in public, but work hard in private."
After dinner, Jiang Yunjin fulfilled his duty as an older brother and took her away from Lan Hui to his apartment near A University.
In the elevator, the two kept their distance and remained silent. But as soon as the door closed, their breaths mingled; last night had ultimately been nothing more than a superficial exchange.
Just as the clothes were scattered on the ground, Cui Yiluo suddenly remembered what was in her backpack, grabbed Jiang Yunjin's black hair and pulled it away.
"Wait, you go out first."
Jiang Yunjin's expression darkened as he stared into her eyes: "Now?"
The room door is closed.
Cui Yiluo quickly went into the bathroom and changed the fabric from her backpack. Jiang Yunjin's bathroom mirror was large, no smaller than the one from last night, clearly reflecting her image.
Black lace covered the snow-white skin, half-concealing, half-revealing, like a pipa player coyly hiding her face—most alluring. Cui Yiluo looked in the mirror, quite satisfied with the effect, but wondered if Jiang Yunjin would be receptive.
Sometimes Cui Yiluo felt that he was too old-fashioned. In the first few months, he never changed positions. He had never had any experience before her, and he didn't seem to know how to improve. It was only after Cui Yiluo gave him some hints that he gradually increased the variety of positions.
Since she was already there and had already made the purchases, Cui Yiluo decided to wait until this was over before discussing ending the relationship with him.
Last night, she only scratched the surface and wasn't fully satisfied, so she decided to indulge herself one last time.
As she opened the door to leave, Cui Yiluo was unsure of his reaction, and her heart beat a little faster.
In the living room, Jiang Yunjin was already dressed and sitting on the sofa, looking at reports with a serious expression and slightly furrowed brows. Apart from a slightly wrinkled suit, there was nothing unusual about him; he had once again transformed into a detached and aloof new business tycoon.
Cui Yiluo was taken aback. "Why are you dressed?"
"It's not that I don't want to do it..."
Jiang Yunjin stopped speaking abruptly, his gaze fixed intently on her.
Cui Yiluo curled her red lips into a smile, her eyes, brimming with spring water, captivating all who beheld her.
She walked over to Jiang Yunjin, straddled his lap, and ruffled his neatly ironed suit. Her red lips brushed against his thin lips, their breaths mingling.
What do you think now?
