Chapter 107
Li Zhen was somewhat mesmerized. Indeed, handsome men rarely belonged to women.
"Mr. Lu, are you perhaps interested in men?"
Lu Yanming's hand visibly paused for a moment, then he let out a short laugh. "How did you come to that conclusion?"
"You asked me to guess earlier, so I'll take a guess."
"It seems your deductive abilities are lacking." Lu Yanming carried a bowl of red date and brown sugar soup out of the kitchen.
As he passed by Li Zhen, she reached out her hand to take it. "Then what type do you like?"
Lu Yanming evaded her hand. "It's hot, models aren't supposed to do these things."
Lu Yanming placed the bowl on the dining table.
He pulled out a chair, turned back to Li Zhen, and said, "But a model's husband can."
"Oh." Li Zhen squeezed out a sound from her throat.
Perhaps it was because Lu Yanming's voice was too pleasant to the ears, or maybe his words were easily misunderstood, but Li Zhen's heart skipped a beat.
She walked over and was about to sit down, but Lu Yanming suddenly pulled her into his embrace and called out softly, "Zhen Zhen..."
Li Zhen was forced to turn around, facing Lu Yanming, with her lower back against the edge of the chair.
They hadn't seen each other much in the past few days, and the sudden proximity made Li Zhen's breath hitch.
"You asked me earlier what I like." Lu Yanming's eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses became deep, and he raised his hand to tap Li Zhen's fingertips. "I like it when I drink milk tea and it tickles my nose."
He gave a slight pinch to Li Zhen's waist, and chuckled softly. "I also like it when someone is delicate and easily toppled over."
As he spoke, his hand on Li Zhen's nose slowly moved to her plump and tender lips. "Even more so, I like it when I kiss someone and they forget to breathe, making their legs go weak."
Li Zhen felt her body suddenly heat up, her face turning as red as if it could drip blood. "Mr. Lu, I'm not very angry anymore about you investigating that matter, so you don't have to say these things to make me happy."
"Are you saying that these words won't make you happy?" Lu Yanming's smile deepened, and he pressed down on Li Zhen's lips with the fingertip that was on her nose, twisting it. "Zhen Zhen, you're so easy to please."
Li Zhen's ears were already burning hot.
Based on her experience with Lu Yanming, this man was probably about to unleash his animalistic side.
She raised her hand and grabbed Lu Yanming's wrist, trying to pull away. "Mr. Lu, let's just have a good chat. No need for any touching."
However, Lu Yanming controlled both of her hands, pressing them against her back. "I don't just want to chat."
Before Li Zhen could protest, she was silenced by a kiss.
This kiss was fierce, like a flood bursting through the gates.
Her breath was stolen, her consciousness detached.
All her senses were under the control of the man in front of her, and the intensity was solely dictated by his will.
Li Zhen couldn't bear it, so she arched her back and the hand on her waist moved upward, supporting her slender spine.
She leaned even closer into Lu Yanming's embrace.
Li Zhen's heart was beating rapidly, causing her chest to rise and fall. The softness of her body pressed against Lu Yanming's sturdy chest.
Lu Yanming was enveloped by the fragrant softness, and the explosive and scorching sensation compelled him to reach under Li Zhen's suspender top.
However, the softness in his hand couldn't ease his hardness; instead, it intensified his unbearable desire.
He released Li Zhen and gasped, almost pleadingly, "Zhen Zhen..."
His calling her made Li Zhen's scalp tingle.
He was like a child demanding candy.
If he didn't get it, he would throw a tantrum.
"Mr. Lu..." Li Zhen's breathing was even heavier and more chaotic than Lu Yanming's. Weakly leaning against his embrace, she said, "Mr. Lu, please calm down. I can't do this right now. I just got my period..."
"What should I do then?" Lu Yanming's voice sounded hoarse and intimidating.
It didn't sound like a question.
It sounded more like an accusation.
In the days they were apart, he couldn't help but wonder if she was with Yu Sheng again.
What were they doing?
The mention of her "ex-husband" that day almost killed him.
His heart had been boiling and frying in a pan for the past few days.
Now that Li Zhen was truly in his arms, he could finally catch his breath.
He wanted to mold her into his body, so she couldn't just disappear whenever she pleased. He didn't want to be consumed by endless speculations and sleepless nights.
"I... I have no choice!" Li Zhen sobbed, lacking confidence, burying her head in his chest.
The more she thought about it, the more wrong it felt.
Even if she didn't provoke Lu Yanming's anger, how could things have ended up like this between them?
Li Zhen pushed him away and said, "Mr. Lu, let go."
"No, I won't let go." Lu Yanming held her even tighter, biting her neck as if punishing her. "If I let go, where will you go? Will you go find your ex-husband?"
"Ah..." Li Zhen gasped in pain.
Was he a dog?
It hurt so much!
Li Zhen said angrily, "You finally said it. Since you know, you shouldn't have kept it from me before, making me afraid every day of being discovered by you..."
"Why are you afraid of me discovering it?" Lu Yanming lifted his head from her neck and looked at her helplessly.
"Because I was afraid that one day, if I offended you, you would report it to the company, and I would have to pay a lot of money."
"Report what? Report that Yu Sheng used to be your husband? That you used to live under the same roof?"
Lu Yanming sighed almost inaudibly, "Zhen Zhen, if possible, I'd rather no one knew about this."
He only wanted everyone to know that Li Zhen belonged to him.
Li Zhen wrinkled her nose. That was probably because she was his business partner now. Once she was no longer needed, who knows...
Li Zhen exerted force with her hand, trying to push him away. "Mr. Lu, please let go of me first."
But Lu Yanming held her hand in return, guiding it downward, letting her take control. He whispered, "Zhen Zhen, please help me..."
Swoosh!
Li Zhen's whole body was scalded by the boiling blood. "I won't!"
"I'll teach you. I'll do it with your guidance."
-
An hour later, Li Zhen sat at the dining table, sipping jujube soup with brown sugar.
Just as she lifted the spoon.
"Clatter!" Her hand went limp, and the spoon fell into the bowl.
Li Zhen:...
How infuriating!
He said it would be quick!
But it took a whole hour!
Li Zhen felt like she would die from exhaustion.
Lu Yanming sat across from her, chuckled softly, stood up from his tall figure, and walked over to Li Zhen's side.
Li Zhen couldn't help but glance at him and said, "I won't drink it anymore. This jujube soup is really time-consuming, and the price is too high. I won't drink it in the future."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was easily lifted up.
Lu Yanming sat down on a chair, cradling Li Zhen in his lap, holding a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, bringing it to her lips.
"It's my fault. I forgot that Zhen Zhen's hands were tired."
Li Zhen felt embarrassed being held in his arms like a child.
But when she thought about how tired she had been earlier, it was only fair that he made some effort.
She deserved to enjoy it.
So she drank it with a clear conscience.
Lu Yanming put the spoon back into the bowl, took a tissue, wiped the corners of Li Zhen's mouth, and continued to feed her.
He teased, "Model hands are so delicate..."
"Mr. Lu, are you accusing me of being delicate? How about you try it for an hour?" Li Zhen glared at him.
"Zhen Zhen, you misunderstood me." Lu Yanming gazed into her clear eyes, unable to resist lightly kissing the corner of her mouth. "I was praising Zhen Zhen's hands. They provide such a wonderful experience."
Li Zhen: ...
Goodness! Why does this man say everything!
