Chapter 219: Official Announcement
Before her was the man’s powerful and fierce physique, behind her was a hard, flat wall.
His breath was fervent and domineering, forcefully invading all her senses.
Lian Li’s thoughts completely froze, her soul seeming to evaporate from her body, until Jin Shi Yue gripped her wrists with one hand, lifted them above her head, and his scorching kiss burned her like fire.
The surroundings were silent, only the frantic beating of their hearts pounded against their eardrums, only the sounds of passionate kissing echoed in their minds.
Lian Li’s legs went weak from the kiss, she couldn’t stand steadily and was about to slide down.
Jin Shi Yue simply picked her up directly. Lian Li was caught off guard as she was lifted into the air, her long legs wrapping around his waist, her hands around his neck.
In the spacious suite, all the crystal lights were bright. The light from the living room flickered in Lian Li’s almond-shaped eyes. Jin Shi Yue placed her on the soft, wide sofa, her arms still hooked around his neck.
Jin Shi Yue knelt on one knee on the sofa between her legs, lowered his body, and looked at her at close range. His sexy Adam’s apple bobbed, and his dark eyes were filled with rare tenderness.
“You only like me?”
Lian Li’s eyes were moist, and she gazed at him without blinking. After a few seconds of eye contact, she nodded, a faint “mm” escaping her lips.
She lifted her body and offered her red lips to kiss him.
Jin Shi Yue’s hands gripped her waist, holding her tightly in his embrace, his presence strong and scorching. Lian Li’s chest heaved violently as he kissed her, her breath thin, her limbs weak.
All their clothes were shed, their skin pressed intimately together. On the verge of losing control, she still managed to regain a sliver of reason.
Jin Shi Yue carried Lian Li upstairs to the bedroom on the second floor, opened a drawer, took out a small item, and handed it to her, asking for her help.
It wasn’t the first time she had helped him, nor would it be the last. Lian Li took a few deep breaths, accepted it, knelt before him, and carefully and meticulously opened it.
Jin Shi Yue lowered his gaze, watching her every move, his breathing growing heavier. When she let go and looked up, he pressed her onto the bed sheet.
Tonight, their emotions surged, erupting violently and uncontrollably. There was no escape, only the desire to hold each other tightly.
Lian Li’s hands clasped Jin Shi Yue’s shoulders and back, her slender long legs entwined around his strong waist, listening to the sound of his powerful heartbeat.
Thump, thump, thump.
Love overflowed, entwining without any gaps, fierce and deep.
Lian Li didn’t know why the bed sheet was so messy, nor how the two of them had left the large bed and ended up by the floor-to-ceiling window.
Even less did she know how the hair tie she used to tie her hair had ended up on her hands.
The next time she regained consciousness, it was already seven in the evening.
Her whole body was sore and heavy. She lay on the clean, soft, large bed, so exhausted that she couldn’t distinguish day from night.
Not just him, she was a little crazy too.
Lian Li slowly got up. That fierce, beast-like man was walking out of the bathroom with long strides. His bathrobe was loose, the neckline open, revealing faint scratches and large patches of alluring muscles exuding male hormones.
The moment their eyes met, Lian Li wanted to pretend to be dead and lie back down.
The two of them had started from last night, stopped for a few hours in the early morning, slept for two hours, woken up, and continued until this afternoon before finally stopping.
They ate their meal very casually, which was unlike her at all.
Lian Li didn’t feel like moving and reached out to Jin Shi Yue, asking him to carry her to wash up.
Jin Shi Yue casually tossed the towel he was drying his hair with aside and easily swept her up in his arms.
“You ate so much, why haven’t you gained any weight?” His voice was laced with a smile, lazy yet filled with the contentment of indulgence.
Lian Li’s hands hung around his neck, her face buried in his shoulder. Her voice was weak as she answered concisely, “Too much mental exertion.”
These past few days, Lian Li had gained a new understanding of travel.
Traveling alone was equivalent to sleeping in a different place.
Traveling with someone was also equivalent to sleeping in a different place.
The day before going to Coastal Village, the weather was clear.
Lian Li and Jin Shi Yue visited Hualien Qixingtan.
From Qingshui Cliff to Qixingtan, the boundless Pacific Ocean stretched out, its waves vast and deep blue. Mountain mist surrounded them, and the view was filled with shades of blue.
“This is a crescent-shaped bay paved with pebbles, also known as Moon Bay. The coast stretches for over 20 kilometers. The sea appears calm, but in reality, less than 50 meters from the shore, the depth drops sharply and forms undertows.”
Lian Li told Jin Shi Yue that she used to like to sit alone on the stone beach at Qixingtan and daydream. It was a simple and warm place. A local once told her that everyone has their own sky.
The stones at Qixingtan were not shell sand, but more like various jade stones polished by the waves. The red, yellow, and green colors were all beautiful.
The waves splashed mist-like spray onto Lian Li’s face. She squatted down and picked up two beautiful, translucent stones.
Jin Shi Yue stood beside her with one hand in his pocket, his back straight and proud. He looked down at his youthful and energetic girlfriend.
Lian Li rarely had such relaxed and free moments. She was usually calm and composed, deliberately ignoring her own feelings and adeptly handling challenges that might arise at any time.
Taiwan was not as fast-paced as Hong Kong. The atmosphere of life was rich, relaxed, and leisurely.
There wasn’t much to do by the sea, just look at the sea, feel the breeze, purify the mood, and let the soul find a moment of peace.
Lian Li let go of Jin Shi Yue’s hand and ran a short distance away. She picked up a beautiful pebble and placed it on top of a stack of stones for good luck.
She took a photograph and sent it to Xue Shufan.
Sent successfully.
She turned her head, looking for Jin Shi Yue’s figure.
The man stood by the vast sea, the wind blowing his clothes, making them billow and then fall, outlining his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
“Your legs are quite long…” Lian Li muttered.
The white daylight enveloped him, inexplicably carrying a sense of loneliness.
On a whim, she raised her mobile phone and took a photo of his back.
With the blue sea as a backdrop, Jin Shi Yue, dressed in an exquisite black shirt and trousers, was tall and outstanding, particularly photogenic.
A photo with ordinary pixels was elevated to the highest level by his presence.
Lian Li walked over, and Jin Shi Yue took her hand, his long fingers tucking a stray strand of her hair behind her ear.
“What were you looking at just now?” Lian Li asked curiously.
“The horizon,” Jin Shi Yue replied.
Lian Li followed his gaze, the blue waves rippling endlessly.
She was in a good mood and casually said “oh.”
Under the bright daylight, they walked hand in hand, stepping through the shimmering seawater, slowly along the coastline.
Jin Shi Yue, facing the sea breeze, gazed into the distance. His tall, slender, and unrestrained figure exuded an innate aura, appearing in Lian Li’s Moments feed.
The mobile phone in her crossbody bag lit up frequently, displaying new messages.
She didn’t open them to check, just held his hand tighter, enjoying this moment of quiet leisure for just the two of them.
Singapore’s tallest CBD commercial district building.
Jin Yan Ting saw that update after finishing a high-level meeting. He was sitting in his office chair, preparing to send a message asking about her recent state and if she was suffering from her mother’s issues.
Lian Li’s update text was very simple, just one word: 【wind】
The accompanying picture was of a man standing by the sea, from behind.
Jin Yan Ting recognized the person as Jin Shi Yue at a glance.
Jin Yan Ting’s eyes reflected the fresh update, and the corners of his mouth curved into a bitter smile.
She still had the mood to post on Moments, it seemed she was in a good mood.
In the evening, they went to a Western restaurant for dinner.
Jin Yan Ting had a poor appetite and barely touched his knife and fork. Assistant He glanced at the untouched delicacies, realizing he hadn’t eaten at all.
Leaving the private room, preparing to leave the restaurant, he unexpectedly overheard a familiar name in the corridor.
“Lian Li officially announced on Moments! Although that man is only seen from behind, it’s definitely Brother Shi Yue! I’ll never mistake him!”
“Didn’t the Second Young Master post her photo not long ago? They should be heading towards marriage.”
“What does posting a photo prove? It only proves they have photos. The Second Young Master has always been capricious and cynical; he’s just finding someone to pass the time and relieve his loneliness. Marriage? Heh, the elders of the Jin Family wouldn’t agree, so what kind of marriage is that?”
Jin Yan Ting wasn’t interested in these gossip remarks and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a sentence:
“Wei Qi, didn’t you say before that Lian Li liked the Eldest Young Master? Why did she suddenly make an official announcement with the Second Young Master?”
