Ning Shangyu gazed at her rosy lips, two pristine white teeth revealed as she was about to bite him fiercely to show her defiance.
Yet, lacking experience, her lips parted just slightly, and instead she unconsciously took his knuckle into her mouth, only to accidentally bump into the cold, hard metal of his ring.
That little tongue even brushed over the ruby in the lion’s mouth, leaving behind a sparkling trail of moisture.
Ning Shangyu, in turn, pressed his thumb against her fair chin, his low, husky voice and warm breath enveloping her, “I’m the bad one? Lin Miss, you’re the one being naughty.”
What kind of words were these?
The skin on Lin Zhishui’s cheeks, pressed lightly by his strength, was so tender that a faint blush had already spread to the tips of her ears, yet she endured it without moving a muscle.
She met Ning Shangyu’s gaze for a moment, then her voice suddenly softened, “I’m very good… I can be even better. Will I get a reward then?”
In this night so deep that the boundaries blurred, the more restless Ning Shangyu was under his tailored suit pants, the more composed and unhurried he appeared on the surface.
After more than ten seconds, he finally lowered his head and kissed her kind lips.
The moment warmth covered her, Lin Zhishui’s trembling eyelashes were as fragile as butterfly wings.
Her throat was delicate, and she couldn’t match the depth of his kiss.
Just being surrounded by that oppressive feeling was enough to leave her breathless, a bit short of oxygen.
Fortunately, Ning Shangyu was exceptionally talented in this regard and could selflessly teach her everything.
Just like now, when he kissed Lin Zhishui until her fingers curled tightly and turned pale, he would rein in his aggression, the amber depths of his eyes taking on a lazy meaning, then teasing her desires in a slow, unhurried way, “You can push me away at any time, or you can allow me to feed you something.”
Lin Zhishui was stunned for a moment, her mind spinning wildly around those words.
But Ning Shangyu stretched out his arm, picked up the coffee she had made with the angry little lamb decoration, and, right in front of her, took a slow sip before kissing her again.
The rich bitterness of the coffee quickly spread between their lips and teeth.
She hadn’t added even a grain of sugar out of selfishness.
Even though Lin Zhishui’s taste buds weren’t that sensitive, she instinctively wanted to stick out her tongue, only for him to catch it instantly.
Next time, she should definitely add sugar.
By the time that thought flashed through Lin Zhishui’s mind, she was already being carried upstairs, her body lying on her back atop the centre island where men’s luxurious accessories were kept.
She opened her misty, watery eyes, clearly dazed by his intense aura, still unaware of what was about to happen.
It wasn’t until Ning Shangyu removed his ring, his movements as if he was taking off all the desires he’d suppressed inside.
He softly told Lin Zhishui to open her mouth and bite down again.
Lin Zhishui, still dazed from his kisses, followed his instruction, wrapping her pale knees around his tall, upright figure, unconsciously pressing close until her own skin turned hot.
Ning Shangyu did not do to her what he had done in the Master Bedroom.
Ning Shangyu did not do to her what he had done in the Master Bedroom, not even undoing his belt.
Lin Zhishui’s eyes quickly shifted from confusion to surprise, simply because she hadn’t expected Ning Shangyu to bring this with him on his business trip to the Gang District.
Ning Shangyu’s hand, its sinews sharply defined under the light, selected a piece of jade from within, greener and larger than last time, carved with a lotus pattern.
As his fingertip slowly twisted it, Lin Zhishui’s heart pounded fiercely, and she instinctively wanted to refuse.
After all, even knowing that Ning Shangyu used jade because they were seriously mismatched in size… he was so patient, like a carnivorous animal always ready to hunt, waiting for her petite body to ripen.
But once filled, the feeling of worrying it might slip out from time to time wasn’t comfortable either.
Lin Zhishui blinked her lashes just slightly, wanting to refuse, but when she met Ning Shangyu’s eyes, she swallowed her words back down.
Suddenly, she realized something even more important:
If she refused, wouldn’t that give Ning Shangyu a legitimate excuse to refuse her request for a reward as well?!
Absolutely not!!!
Lin Zhishui was never the type to give up halfway.
On the contrary, her heart was as clear as water, her perspective as transparent as crystal.
She’d sacrificed so much tonight, already endured a punishment, yet still hadn’t received her reward.
Now the opportunity was right in front of her.
When the warm fingertip slid down her skin,
Lin Zhishui held her breath, simply treating it as learning to enjoy this long process, her teeth biting down on that lion’s ruby.
The dazzling light seemed to accentuate the two red moles at the corner of her eyes, matching perfectly.
This time, even though the jade still felt a little strange, it went much more smoothly than before.
The two of them rested at the Tai Ping Mountain Residence.
Tonight, Lin Zhishui insisted on sharing the bed with Ning Shangyu, since his tightly packed, busy schedule was no joke.
If he woke up in the morning and took a business jet abroad, leaving her in the Gang District, wouldn’t all her efforts be wasted?
Deep into the night. Her long, black hair spread across the pillow, taking up the entire, extra-wide bed in the Master Bedroom along with Ning Shangyu, her body in a little nightdress nestled completely in his arms.
She seemed to be unconsciously inhaling his familiar scent of fir, yet spoke up with righteous confidence, “Ning Shangyu, you have to hold me all night while we sleep!”
Ning Shangyu, draped in a bathrobe, was nearly undone by her nose rubbing against him.
He closed his eyes to rest, “Lin Miss, do you know what conjoined twins are?”
The tone that slipped from his thin lips was full of meaning, clearly hinting at something in the next second.
Lin Zhishui feigned ignorance, “Huh? I’m not very knowledgeable… never seen one before.”
Ning Shangyu lazily opened his eyes.
Though he said nothing, it was as if he’d said a great deal.
See one now?
“We’re not actually joined together.”
Lin Zhishui’s confidence returned as she pursed her lips, even lightly lifting the blanket covering their waists with her fingertips.
Inside, it was warm, her skirt barely covering her hips, the curve perfectly rounded, pressed against Ning Shangyu’s warm thigh muscle.
As for the more formidable part, it was hidden beneath his silk bathrobe.
Lin Zhishui wasn’t so bold as to look. Her thoughts were simple: she just wanted Ning Shangyu’s arms around her, like when she hugged a doll as a child.
That way, even if she fell asleep in a daze, if he tried to slip away, she’d wake up immediately.
Ning Shangyu stared at her in silence for a few seconds, then his palm landed lightly on her soft bottom, so suddenly that Lin Zhishui nearly shuddered, especially with the jade in place, her sensitivity in the middle was self-evident.
“What are you doing.”
She had just asked when she caught herself and stopped.
Ning Shangyu moved that thing under his bathrobe, placing it right against her thigh, looking her in the eye, “Didn’t you say we’re not joined? I’ll let you keep it for tonight.”
Ahhh!
Ning Shangyu is shameless!
Who wants to be responsible for keeping his arrogant thing…
Besides, how was she supposed to sleep properly like this?!
Before Lin Zhishui could complain, she took a deep breath and caught his faint fir scent again.
Coupled with her usual biological clock, she finally couldn’t resist her drowsiness and actually fell asleep.
Just before her mind slipped into chaos,
She optimistically thought, if she’s keeping it, then doesn’t she have temporary usage rights too?
Including when to return it…
Hmm.
This was much more reassuring than being held in his arms all night.
The Master Bedroom curtains were half drawn. In the morning, sunlight streamed in.
After several hours, Lin Zhishui woke with a start from her sleep, suddenly aware of a cool sensation on her skin, completely replacing the heat she’d been keeping for so long.
She realized Ning Shangyu might have left for work.
And after cooperating all night, she still hadn’t gotten her reward…
Lin Zhishui’s eyes snapped open. What she saw was Ning Shangyu, already fully dressed and standing by the bed, in a perfectly tailored suit.
The slightly glossy fabric outlined his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
They locked eyes for several seconds.
Ning Shangyu had already wiped his long fingers clean with a damp towel, his fingertips meticulously examining the jade, not to mention his technique.
Just the calm emotion beneath that proud, handsome face made him look exactly like a top professional doctor.
Giving her a proper examination.
And on Ning Shangyu’s body, there wasn’t a trace of any physical arousal.
Lin Zhishui, now fully awake, grew confused again, until Ning Shangyu, after fiddling for a moment, moved away from that unbelievably soft place and spoke in a calm voice, “You can take it out now.”
With those words,
Lin Zhishui’s mind cleared up again, her lips parting slightly, “Really?”
So she wouldn’t have to wear this jade all day, could move freely, and only had to wear it at night…
Otherwise, it was just too much for her innocent soul to bear.
Ning Shangyu gave a soft “Mm,” then picked up a clean towel and slowly wiped the jade, the lotus carving growing even clearer.
The whole time, Lin Zhishui stared at him quietly, suppressing the secret pleasure just stirred up.
When Ning Shangyu bent over and, gentlemanly as ever, pulled her skirt back down to cover her knees, she suddenly sat up and grabbed his hand, “Can I have my reward now?”
She hadn’t forgotten.
Ning Shangyu lowered his eyes, staring for a few seconds at the wrist held by her fingers, “You can.”
Lin Zhishui’s dewy fingertips trembled with excitement, even turning slightly red, her voice growing cheerful, “Ning Shangyu, you really are a fair and just man…”
The next second,
The words “fair man” were swallowed back.
Because Ning Shangyu drew back his right hand, calmly took out a box of jade pieces he’d gotten from the dressing room before she woke, and chose an even larger one.
“I’ll reward you tonight.”
