Chapter 180: Bite marks
The living room, the air filled with an lingering, intoxicating atmosphere.
As her words fell, Lian Li felt Jin Shi Yue’s muscles tense almost instantly, becoming even hotter and harder.
She liked the muscles on his body; their lines were smooth and natural, powerful but not exaggerated, appearing beautiful and possessing a wild sense of strength, exuding a natural sexiness and laziness.
“No,” Jin Shi Yue said, holding her and tucking her long hair behind her shoulder. His voice was husky and magnetic after their intimacy.
As Lian Li was using her mobile phone to change her emergency contact to Jin Shi Yue, she heard him ask in her ear, “Who was the emergency contact before?”
Lian Li paused for a moment and answered truthfully, “Jin Yan Ting.”
Jin Shi Yue tilted his head, his thin lips brushing her earlobe, and commanded in a suppressed voice, “Whoever he is to you, clear him out completely and change it to me.”
The man’s tone carried a hint of harshness, clearly jealous. Yet, he was helpless; she had been by Jin Yan Ting’s side for so many years, and his traces were everywhere in her life.
Lian Li thought seriously.
She was an adult now, with no guardian; Jin Yan Ting was no longer her guardian.
She had her own independent household registration, which had nothing to do with Jin Yan Ting.
The only thing left should be the emergency contact.
The emergency contact on her mobile phone, the emergency contact in her school records.
“Nothing else,” Lian Li replied.
Jin Shi Yue carried her into the bathroom to wash up. Considering his previous experience, Lian Li said she wanted to wash herself.
“Do you have the strength to wash yourself?” Jin Shi Yue chuckled lightly. His laugh seemed like a mockery, but it wasn’t malicious; it was a teasing, slightly doting jest.
“Don’t underestimate me.” Lian Li was just not good at sports; she had plenty of energy. She had rested enough and recovered now, so taking a bath was nothing.
Besides, washing didn’t require much strength.
After all, the water wouldn’t torment her any further.
Jin Shi Yue filled the bathtub with water for her and then turned to enter the shower.
Lian Li tested the water temperature, confirmed it was fine, then lit an aromatherapy candle. The scent of roses and gardenias filled the air. She sat in the bathtub and took her time bathing.
Emerging from the bathroom, Lian Li, wearing a bathrobe of the same style but different color as Jin Shi Yue’s, walked to the restaurant.
On the dining table were the lobster pasta and pizza she wanted, steaming hot, looking and smelling delicious.
“Dry your hair before eating,” Jin Shi Yue said, looking at the water droplets falling from her hair ends, and brought over a hair dryer.
Lian Li recalled his clumsy and slow movements when he helped her dry her hair, and suddenly felt that if he were to help her again, she wouldn’t be able to eat anything tonight.
“I’ll do it myself,” Lian Li immediately snatched the hair dryer and, without another word, started drying it herself.
Jin Shi Yue’s lips curved into a casual smile, and he narrowed his eyes, looking at her. “Alright.”
Lian Li dried her hair herself, efficiently and quickly.
Jin Shi Yue leaned against the side with his arms crossed, his long legs lazily propped on the ground, watching her blow-dry her hair with such decisiveness.
His dark eyes were filled with a relaxed smile, and the corners of his lips couldn’t help but curl up.
Lian Li was starving and didn’t care about him. She turned off the hair dryer and went to the dining table, sitting down to eat.
Jin Shi Yue followed her leisurely and sat down unhurriedly.
As Lian Li ate the lobster pasta with her right hand, he asked her to extend her left hand. Lian Li complied, and he put gloves on her.
Lian Li ate half her pasta, took a break, and switched to pizza. She looked up at the man across from her.
The bright light from the overhead lamp shone on him, clearly illuminating the bite marks all over his neck.
For the first time, Lian Li realized she actually liked to bite people.
Of course, it was all Jin Shi Yue’s fault.
Who told him to keep telling her to bite him.
After eating her fill, washing up, and lying in bed preparing to rest, Lian Li reached out, her fingertip tracing the bite marks on Jin Shi Yue’s neck, still able to feel the shape of his teeth.
The room was dim. Jin Shi Yue tightened his arm around her waist and said in a low voice, “If you keep touching, we won’t be sleeping tonight.”
Lian Li was not intimidated by him. She blinked her long lashes and stated a fact, “Excessive indulgence will lead to death.”
“Who will die?”
“You.”
Jin Shi Yue seemed to hear a joke and let out a low, deep laugh. Lian Li, lying on him, could clearly feel his chest vibrating, laughing freely and arrogantly.
“Who are you insulting?” Jin Shi Yue gripped her waist and lifted her up, making her rest her head on his arm so their gazes were level.
“You’re not allowed to leave the house tomorrow or the day after. Stay home and be with me.”
The Eldest Young Master had been dormant for twenty-seven years; his stamina was truly impressive.
Lian Li was a little curious. “How did you manage before?”
“Waiting for you.” Jin Shi Yue’s tone was neither high nor low. He wasn’t saying sweet nothings, but his pleasant voice drifting to her ears inexplicably made her heart race.
“Really?” Lian Li looked into his eyes at close range.
Jin Shi Yue let out a soft hum and said meaningfully, “More true than you liking me.”
Lian Li immediately shut up and snuggled into his embrace, inhaling the cool, pleasant scent of him.
After a day of emotional ups and downs, she closed her eyes and fell asleep shortly after.
As for when Jin Shi Yue fell asleep, Lian Li didn’t know. She only knew that the next day he pulled her into bed to catch up on sleep again.
Waking up at noon, Lian Li felt tired, complaining of a sore waist and heavy legs.
Jin Shi Yue instructed Li Ye to find a professional masseuse to come to their home to give her a massage.
Lian Li indeed needed a massage to relieve her physical fatigue, so she didn’t refuse.
The masseuse’s technique was extremely skilled. She usually only served wealthy wives and rarely massaged such young girls. Although curious, she didn’t overstep any boundaries.
Plenty of money, keep your mouth shut, and maintain absolute secrecy.
Lian Li was completely relaxed. She told the masseuse she was fine and didn’t need any more massage. The masseuse left the villa. Lian Li was too lazy to get up, resting her cheek on a pillow, and dozed with her eyes closed.
Jin Shi Yue emerged from the study after finishing his meeting and saw his girlfriend in a prone position, motionless.
He walked over with interest.
A light force landed on her backside. Lian Li opened her eyes, turned her head to look at him, her expression dazed and confused.
“Did you hit me?”
“How could I dare to hit you?” Jin Shi Yue playfully turned her over, pulled her to sit up, and gently stroked her slightly red face.
“You hold grudges and won’t forgive me, so I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.”
Lian Li was sleepy, her consciousness hazy. “Oh.”
“Very sleepy?” Jin Shi Yue assessed her state.
“Don’t you know if I’m sleepy?” Lian Li, becoming a bit more awake, retorted.
Jin Shi Yue scooped her into his arms with one hand. “I don’t know.”
Lian Li didn’t want to speak. She wrapped her legs around his strong waist, emptied her mind, and let him take her wherever he pleased.
The peaceful days at home were finally broken by a phone call.
Lian Li was practicing a piece for a concert. The God of Wealth circled her and the cello, walking several laps. He seemed dizzy, his two large ears drooping, and he lay down by her feet to rest.
Lian Li placed the bow on the strings and played a test note. The cello’s deep sound resonated for a moment before being interrupted by a mobile phone ringtone.
It was Pei Qingji calling.
He only contacted her for one reason: news about her mother.
