Chapter 138: Possess Her in Both Reality and Dreams
Lian Li raised her hand, her fingertip brushing her lips, and said with a calm expression, “I ate spicy lobster and got a bit of a burn.”
“Girls should eat less strong flavors; it’s not good for your health,” Jin Yan Ting said.
When Lian Li ate with him, she always followed his nutritionist’s meal plan, which was light, delicious, and nutritious.
She nodded, “Mm.”
Standing at the door chatting late into the night was improper and showed a lack of upbringing.
Jin Yan Ting reminded her, “Get some rest early.”
Lian Li: “Okay, goodnight.”
Closed the door.
Lian Li carried the pastries into the room, unable to resist lowering her head to sniff the crisp, sweet aroma.
Jin Shi Yue lounged on the sofa, peeling an apple. His knuckles were like jade, long and beautiful, making the apple look incredibly expensive.
He lifted his eyelids to look at her, his gaze sliding from her face to her hands.
Lian Li said, “Pastries.”
Jin Shi Yue’s hand moved like a knife, smoothly and elegantly cutting the apple into pieces and placing them on a porcelain dish. “What pastries? Eat fruit.”
As he spoke, he snatched the pastries from her hand and shoved the dish of fruit into her palm.
“I don’t want to eat fruit.”
Lian Li snatched the pastries back, opened the exquisite box lid, “Auntie Lu made these pastries. They taste pretty good, you should try some.”
Jin Shi Yue glanced at her slender, fair fingers, then looked up, lazily observing her.
Lian Li picked up a pastry and put it in her mouth. It melted in her mouth, the sweetness just right, not cloying.
Jin Shi Yue watched her, saying nothing.
It was exactly the same as the day she brought pastries to visit Elder Mei.
The Eldest Young Master is such a tsundere.
Lian Li indulged this tsundere, picking up a pastry and smiling impeccably, “Would you like to try?”
Jin Shi Yue extended his hand and took a biscuit, but he fed it into her mouth. Lian Li was caught off guard, her white teeth biting down on the biscuit.
Before she could react, Jin Shi Yue’s large hand cupped the back of her head, pulling her close. His nose brushed hers as he opened his mouth and bit into the biscuit.
The biscuit was small, and their lips inevitably touched. The kiss, mixed with the sweet, crisp aroma, caused dopamine to secrete in their brains, making their bodies increasingly happy and excited.
It was a very brief kiss. After Jin Shi Yue had calmed Lian Li, he got up and went into the bathroom.
Lian Li licked her lips. A strange taste, a hint of wanting more.
She had just eaten in the restaurant not long ago and wasn’t hungry now. After tasting it, she put the pastries away.
The clothes purchased during the day had been professionally cleaned by the hotel staff and were neatly hung in the wardrobe by evening.
The clothes were not flashy, but understated, all made from custom-brand fabrics.
Lian Li liked to spend money within her means to make herself neat and beautiful.
In Xue Shufan’s words, Lian Li took excellent care of herself, both outwardly and inwardly.
Next to the wardrobe, a gift box was placed conspicuously.
Inside were men’s sunglasses.
Lian Li placed the gift box on the sofa. Later, when her menstruation started, her body felt sluggish, and she didn’t remember it for a while.
Jin Shi Yue’s subordinate delivered a laptop. While Lian Li was showering, he was working. When she came out of the bathroom after her shower, he was still working.
The man’s eyes were slightly lowered, his handsome face bathed in a white halo. His eyes were naturally cold, and he exuded an aura that brooked no resistance.
Immersed in his work, he was less roguish and more steady, calm, and even more indifferent and distant.
Alone, so tall, and so lonely.
It seemed no one could understand him, yet he yearned for someone to understand him. He treated the human world as a playground, with everyone else as mere passersby. What did understanding matter?
Lian Li tidied herself up and got into bed, ready to rest. After lying down for a while without falling asleep, she glanced at the man on the sofa and decided to play on her mobile phone.
After playing for a bit, Lian Li looked up at the other person in the room. He had changed his position at some point, leaning back loosely against the sofa, his pajamas loose, his well-built physique exuding a natural laziness and sexiness.
He was both excessively good-looking and incredibly captivating.
It wasn’t just men who liked captivating women; women also liked captivating men.
Lian Li’s thoughts drifted, guessing that her getting drunk and sleeping with him before was likely due to this very reason.
Sensing her gaze, Jin Shi Yue curved his lips into a smile, not looking up to expose her. His noble, slender fingers tapped on a document, slowly rejecting it.
Utterly elegant and casual.
A new WeChat message popped up on her mobile phone.
Lian Li gathered her thoughts and tapped to check it.
He Shu: 「Miss Lian, what time do you plan to have breakfast tomorrow? President Jin has something to discuss with you.」
Meaning, discuss over breakfast.
When Jin Yan Ting sought her out, it was usually for serious matters. Unlike Jin Shi Yue, who looked for trouble when there was none.
Lian Li replied with a time: 「Eight-thirty.」
He Shu: 「Then I will inform President Jin.」
Lian Li: 「Mm, thank you for your trouble.」
He Shu always enjoyed liaising with Lian Li because it was efficient, concise, and polite.
Miss Lian was simply a ray of warmth in this world!
Lian Li put down her phone, intending to sleep. Jin Shi Yue had walked over at some point, his whole body exuding laziness, his eyes fixed on her, raising an eyebrow with extreme flirtatiousness.
“Ancestor, why didn’t you call me to serve you when you went to bed?”
Serve what? Undress her?
Could he really be so perverted as to want to pull down her pants to see if she was menstruating?
Lian Li frowned slightly. Because she was tired and her mind was unclear, her thoughts were all displayed on her plain and exquisite face.
Jin Shi Yue suddenly burst out laughing.
He lay beside her, pulling her into his arms. His long fingers played with the soft ends of her hair, his thin lips moving slowly, “Everywhere is soft.”
Lian Li had a good memory: “Didn’t you say I was heartless and hard-hearted?”
Jin Shi Yue’s eyes curved upwards, his smile deepening, and he said in a relaxed tone, “You didn’t remember the one compliment, but you remembered everything I said about you.”
He chose his words carefully, saying “about you” rather than “scolding you.”
He’s so good at saying nice things. I wonder who trained him.
Lian Li pulled her hair out of his hand and turned away, not wanting to deal with him.
Jin Shi Yue hugged her from behind. Lian Li shook off his arm, but he instead hooked his waist and held her tightly.
“The gift you bought for me?”
Lian Li understood he was referring to the sunglasses. “No.”
“No?”
“I bought it to wear myself.”
He chuckled, his chest trembling slightly, half-jokingly saying, “Junior Sister is quite thoughtful, trying things on herself before giving them to others.”
“…”
Lian Li held his hand as he caressed her waist, “Stop messing around, I want to sleep.”
Jin Shi Yue held her even tighter, his voice husky, “Remember to dream of your boyfriend.”
He was right beside her, yet he wanted her to dream of him.
Truly domineering, wanting to possess her in both reality and dreams.
The next morning, Lian Li woke up and told Jin Shi Yue she couldn’t have breakfast with him. He nodded.
The Eldest Young Master was suddenly so understanding that she felt unaccustomed to it.
However, in the restaurant, Lian Li and Jin Yan Ting were having breakfast.
She lowered her head, looking at the beef pan-fried buns, and took a bite.
Unexpectedly, she heard Jin Yan Ting say, “A Yue.”
Lian Li paused, putting down the bun she was about to eat. Following Jin Yan Ting’s gaze, she turned her head to look.
Jin Shi Yue stood tall, dressed in an expensive black shirt and black trousers, leisurely striding with long legs, walking over with unhurried steps.
Lian Li hadn’t expected him to show up so openly, and her eyelids couldn’t help but twitch.
