Chapter 169: Extra Chapter Fifteen: Soothing to the Bone
This breakfast was anything but bland, like a steaming bowl of white porridge; Lin Jin was the one who ate it with great gusto.
At that moment, she propped her elbows on the table, held a small bowl in one hand, and absentmindedly stirred the white porridge with a spoon, taking bites here and there.
Her gaze burned with intensity, imprinted on Cheng Sangluo's clean and handsome face, unwilling to look away for even a second, as if she wanted to weave that elusive allure into every detail.
She smiled brightly, a smile that also hinted at a restless desire, wondering at what second that silly guy would completely succumb to her gaze.
Cheng Sangluo was enjoying his meal when he was suddenly disturbed by his wife's blushing gaze, and his chewing motions, with his cheeks puffed out, gradually slowed down.
Even if she was slow to realize it, she could sense Lin Jin's unspoken affection. Moreover, while the world on the table seemed calm, the interactions beneath it had long since turned into a silent entanglement.
Lin Jin remained expressionless as she ate, but her raised toes had already circled Cheng Sangluo's legs several times. If she dared to go any further, someone might get so angry that she would flip the table.
Fortunately, this charming woman was a master of seduction and manipulation, and without making a sound, she managed to stop the puppy's desires from overflowing at just the right moment.
Those fair toes, like swimming fish, gently caressed each other, moving inch by inch, stopping and starting, swaying back and forth just right on the safe line of love.
Cheng Sangluo put down the half-eaten steamed bun in her hand, and in response to the saying "silence speaks louder than words," she silently moved the stool a large distance toward the table, so that her playful lover could put his feet up more comfortably.
Lin Jin was surprised by her proactive response, so she simply tilted her head to the side of her raised shoulder and refused to speak, letting the sweet words of goodwill remain hidden in her eyes and in the world under the table.
Cheng Sangluo pulled out a tissue to wipe her lips. She was clearly full, but she felt as if a gaping maw of hunger was growing deep inside her body, constantly clamoring for food. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the chopsticks she had placed aside were suddenly knocked to the ground by her arm.
She bent down to pick up the chopsticks, and subconsciously turned her head to look at the two porcelain-white lines of scenery. Her eyes widened in surprise.
The room was heated by underfloor heating, making it feel like springtime. This created an illusion – how could such a beautiful spring daylight suddenly appear through the hanging tablecloth?
The camellias on the black silk were vibrant, but they couldn't compare to the subtle allure of the dewy sheen deliberately displayed to someone.
Cheng Sangluo's heart skipped a beat. Even though she knew this was a playful, slightly scheming relationship between lovers, she still couldn't resist the subtle and overt seduction.
So when she bent down to pick it up, she seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Lin Jin looked at the empty space opposite with great interest, unaware that the person had turned into the fierce wolf from the previous night.
The unexpected kiss was like a meteorite scattering across calm waters, creating not gentle ripples, but a huge upheaval.
Lin Jin's brows furrowed suddenly, a faint tooth mark appeared on her lips, and her eyes flickered with emotion.
She remained silent and restrained, but didn't nod to find the culprit under the table. Instead, she shifted her position forward and squinted her eyes with amusement, teasingly saying, "So you weren't able to have enough fun all night?"
He didn't care much about the busy bees collecting honey, but after hearing his wife's words, he had no choice but to respond.
"Um...about loving you..." she answered haltingly, her words muffled, "I'll never have enough..."
Lin Jin sighed helplessly, "I really don't know what to do with you..."
She leaned comfortably against the back of the chair, casually tossing her camellia-patterned robe upwards, transforming her doting affection for the puppy into a sweet fragrance in the air, and also into a tight, protective embrace.
At this moment, she saw neither mountains nor water; everything she saw was a tender, bone-melting kiss and a sucking.
Those porcelain-white, slender feet, fitting the ambiguous scene, suddenly transformed into soft, slippery snakes.
Cheng Sangluo was not the only one who fell into infatuation.
The snake was also infatuated.
It trembled, mistaking the sturdy branches for prey, lingering as if about to break them, thus naturally creating delicate and beautiful curves.
Cheng Sangluo's head was wrapped in a black robe, and the blurred vision did not hinder the melting appreciation in her eyes.
The whispering wind blew through the gaps between lips and teeth, rustling the dark, dense forest. Fish played hide-and-seek in the wet, long river, their tails swaying up and down, creating ripples that spread in circles.
Lin Jin tilted her head back and felt a sudden dizziness.
Her beautiful eyes, half-closed, gradually lost their glimmer of light.
The feeling of joy was indescribable, as if an earthquake could strike at any moment, melting one's very bones.
......
Love blossoms like a ray of morning sunlight streaming into the restaurant; the chaos and entanglement isn't in the tableware on the table, but in the couple tightly embracing and enjoying the afterglow of their love.
Lin Jinbai, having just finished a meticulously prepared makeup and haircut, was now as soft as a spring pond, nestled in her lover's arms, her breathing gradually becoming steady.
Cheng Sangluo was the one who captured that springtime feeling, so she would occasionally offer a comforting kiss during their embrace.
"What time is it?" Lin Jin asked softly, then picked up her phone to check, and hurriedly broke free from the puppy's embrace. "It's all your fault, we've wasted so much time!"
Cheng Sangluo glanced at the clock and saw it was only a little past eight. She touched her nose dejectedly. "Isn't there still an hour before work? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Doesn't it take me time to touch up my makeup? Doesn't it take me time to pick out clothes for you?" Lin Jin glared at her and hurriedly went to the bedroom.
In fact, she wasn't busy taking care of herself, but rather picking out clothes for the rough-and-tumble Cheng Sangluo.
She was very meticulous in her selection, but with a closet full of haute couture and designer clothes, she couldn't find a single style she liked. Perhaps it was the thought of dressing up her puppy that was getting to her.
Cheng Sangluo quickly finished cleaning up the kitchen, and when he got to the door he saw that his wife hadn't picked anything out. He said helplessly, "What else can I possibly dress up?"
Lin Jin turned around at the sound and saw the puppy looking indifferent, which made her furious. "What do you mean 'whatever'? You can't be casual."
After grumbling for a moment, she turned back to continue carefully matching her outfit.
Cheng Sangluo strode up behind his wife, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist. He had intended to simply be affectionate for a while, but the moment he smelled that comforting scent, the embrace turned into restless kisses.
She kissed the back of Lin Jin's neck, her hand tracing the arm as he reached for the clothes hanger. "What I wear doesn't matter, as long as it's presentable. I don't want you to waste your precious time on these things. Let's take this opportunity to hug again..."
"Get off me!" Lin Jin was afraid that the dog would have another stroke, so she quickly shoved him away, pretending to be angry, and said, "Is this never going to end?"
"What can I do? I just want to cuddle with you whenever I see you. I can't resist my instinctive liking for you!" Cheng Sangluo cried out, spreading her arms like a leech, begging for a hug. "Just one more hug, because I won't be able to hug you once we're outside!"
Lin Jin ignored the shameless brat and hurriedly stuffed the clothes she had put together into her arms. "This suit is nice. Wear a black coat over it. It will look good and show off your figure. Hurry up and try it on."
Cheng Sangluo hugged a handful of heavy clothes, then pouted in disappointment, "Fine, fine, dress me up nicely, then I'll go and bewitch other women. Don't blame me for having nowhere to use my charm later!"
"You dare?!" Lin Jin immediately grabbed the dog's ear and warned sternly, "You still want to bewitch others? Watch me punish you with family discipline and make you lose your mind."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch—" Cheng Sangluo winced in pain, repeatedly apologizing, "How could I dare to flirt with other people... I was wrong, I was wrong... I was wrong, I was wrong..." (The puppy whimpered and howled.JPG)
"If you dare say such disrespectful things again, believe me, I'll make sure you can't sleep in my bed for a month!" Lin Jin released her hand, warned, and walked away to the dressing table.
Cheng Sangluo, who was fearless, was stunned and instantly became a coward.
Of course she believed it, after all, Lin Jin's decisive nature was ingrained in her bones, and she was also particularly prone to making a big deal out of things and being petty.
The man obediently changed his clothes, tiptoed to Lin Jin's side, stretched out his arm and pulled her into his embrace.
What could Lin Jin do with someone so shameless and unreasonable? She could only apply lipstick while letting Cheng Sang kiss her haphazardly by the ear.
"Help me..." Cheng Sangluo deliberately exhaled hot, moist breath, and casually picked up the tie dangling in front of her, pleading in a soft voice, "It looks better only when you tie it yourself..."
Lin Jin didn't turn to look at the unruly guy who was acting out of line; instead, she focused her gaze on the mirror.
She admired Cheng Sangluo's infatuation through the mirror, and the feeling was different again. In addition to tenderness and lingering affection, there was also a hint of shyness that she couldn't suppress, which was a kind of enjoyable pleasure.
She raised an eyebrow, seizing the opportunity to tease him, "Beg me, beg me and I'll tie it for you~"
"Please...please...wife...how much more do you want me to beg you..." She thought Cheng Sangluo would yell and refuse, but to her surprise, he softened even more, nuzzling Lin Jin's earlobe and deliberately making rapid, disordered breathing sounds: "Are you satisfied with this tone of pleading...hmm?"
This was the first time Lin Jin had ever succumbed to Cheng Sangluo's sticky teeth!
I can't stand it, I really can't stand it! How can someone who's usually so proper suddenly become more seductive and irritating than a fox?!
Seeing the flirtatious look on the man's face, she quickly raised her hand to cover her smacking lips and exclaimed, "Can't you be normal for once? I'll tie it for you, I'll tie it for you, okay? Honestly, you used to tie your own tie when you wore your military uniform, it's not like you don't know how!"
“No…this is different…” Cheng Sangluo immediately objected, finally regaining her composure, “These are two different things.”
She nodded and carefully observed the slender fingers stroking her collar. Perhaps she was too engrossed in looking at them, because after a moment she paused and explained softly, "In my opinion, tying a tie is a romance that belongs exclusively to a wife. It's a gift that you give me in the morning. The seriousness of doing it every day is also a romance that flows like a gentle stream. So it must be you and can only be you."
Lin Jin was skillfully tying her tie when she was suddenly stunned by this simple confession. She couldn't help but look up and stare intently at the determined and serious face.
Cheng Sangluo felt uncomfortable under her gaze, but even though she was shy, her eyes did not flinch, as if to prove that she needed Lin Jin's daily companionship. This companionship was not about unrestrained revelry in the dark of night, but about the ordinary moments of daily meals, sunrises, and sunsets.
Lin Jinrun's rosy lips curved into a happy smile, and she simply stood on tiptoe to kiss the puppy's slightly trembling lips. "Silly boy, of course it can only be me."
...
"Huh!?"
Inside the silent Bentley, Lin Jin leaned her head against Cheng Sangluo's shoulder and closed her eyes for a short rest.
Hearing a strange, questioning sound, her deep, beautiful eyes narrowed into slits. "Why are you so easily startled? What's wrong?"
Cheng Sangluo tightened the arms around her shoulders, tilting her head to admire the endless city street scene.
She pondered the unfamiliar road, which didn't seem to lead to Senyao Group, so she turned her head and kissed her wife's forehead. "Aren't we going to Senyao? This road doesn't look like it."
"Who said we were going to the company?" Lin Jin liked the puppy's subtle kisses, so she raised her head slightly, hinting that she wanted more kisses.
Cheng Sangluo simply pressed her lips to her ear and whispered, "So, where are we going now?"
"Let's go..." Lin Jin drawled, whetting her appetite, "Of course, to marry you, I need to prepare a generous dowry, so I'm taking you to see the dowry I've prepared for you~"
