She has never had any children…Judging from the sounds coming from the forest…they are mating…”

Nanxi sat there feeling uncomfortable all over.

Even as she munched on her fruit, her mouth started to get dry…

She stood up, “I…

I need to go to the bathroom!”

“Wait!” The man sitting next to her pulled her back.

Nanxi shivered, looking at him with a puzzled and surprised gaze…

“I bought some oral medicine for you, take one before going to sleep!”

After saying this, seeing Nanxi frowning, he added, “Don’t worry, it won’t be bitter!”

“…Oh!”

Nanxi grunted.

She moved her arm, wanting him to let go, but…

Lu Yinchu ignored her!

“Nanxi…”

Lu Yinchu called her name, his voice magnetically deep, displaying a faint huskiness…

Nanxi didn’t understand what he meant or what he wanted to say.

Suddenly, Lu Yinchu reached out to wrap his arms around her waist…

His gesture was like a child acting coquettishly with his mother…

Nanxi stood there in a daze, her body stiff.

She wanted to stop him, but his arms were so tight around her that she couldn’t move!

The feeling of dependence, so strong…

Then she heard him sigh.

After a long time, he began to speak, his voice deep and magnetic.

He said, “Nanxi, it’s good to see you again!”

…

That night was, perhaps, already laden with an air of the unusual that left Nanxi dazed even as she recalled it much later.

When did Lu Yinchu’s lips press against hers?

She didn’t know, but she knew she didn’t stop him.

She watched as his face drew nearer until it was mere inches from her own, a smile flickering in his eyes.

He pressed a kiss to her lips and let her go when she frowned.

His eyes were still smiling, and within those dark orbs was an unfathomable depth.

He picked her up from the sofa, carried her upstairs, and placed her on the bed.

Courage cowers within a hard shell, unable to find an escape, especially when feelings rush forth, bringing with them a sense of desolation.

She had always thought she understood love, yet in the end, she discovered she actually did not.

If she had understood, she would have known that there are certain things, and certain men, that one should never touch.

Lu Yinchu, he’s so special in everyone’s eyes.

But she knows that to her, he’s special in a different way.

Because of his uniqueness, he is irreplaceable, at least in her eyes.

The night was like ink.

The bedroom was silent.

Nanxi hugged the pillow on the bed, looking at the piece of sky outside the window, remembering his words before he left the room:

“The day you decide on your feelings, I won’t let you off lightly!

Nanxi, hear me, I won’t!”

…

That night, the restless ones were not just Nanxi but also another person – Lu Yinchu!

When he returned home, he took another cold shower.

As he collapsed onto his bed, he felt entirely exhausted, unable to move an inch.

It wasn’t his body that was tired, but his heart.

He closed his eyes, and the image of her resisting him flashed across his mind, her terrified eyes saying, “No…

We can’t…

”

She said, “Lu Yinchu, we can’t!”

Seeing her dull eyes, he let her go.

Something twisted in his chest, the pain so intense he couldn’t breathe.

At this moment, he was filled with regret.

He reached out his hand toward the void, as if to touch her soft cheek, but she wasn’t crying anymore, she was smiling at him.

He enveloped her, she accepted him, their bodies entwining so tightly it was as if they couldn’t be separated…

As if they couldn’t be separated…

…

At 3 a.m., Lu Yinchu woke up with sweat on his forehead, his chest heaving, his breath rapid.

He lay in bed a while longer, then got up, turned on the bedside lamp, and lit a cigarette.

By dawn, he had smoked nearly half of the cigarettes in the box.

When it was around six in the morning, he stubbed out the last cigarette, climbed out from under the covers, and headed to the bathroom.

…

When Nanxi woke up early the next morning and went to the bathroom, she found that the red rash on her body had faded significantly, and the itching had also lessened substantially!noveldrama

She had initially thought it would take three days to heal, but this was a miracle!

After washing up, she heard noise coming from the kitchen.

She went closer to see the tall man standing there, cooking.

Every movement he made was poised, elegant, and even…attractive!

Nanxi looked away, feeling a little awkward after the events of the previous night, and a little guilty.

She took a seat on the couch, where Shiyi the cat was lazily napping.

This time, she finally noticed him.

She was a bit afraid that he might scratch her again, but thinking about the cat she used to have, she mostly felt affection!

She called out, “Shiyi…

”

Shiyi lifted his eyes lazily and gave a “meow,” before continuing to sleep.

Nanxi sat down next to Shiyi and thought, this cat really is lazy, not at all like the Shiyi she used to have!

She reached out to touch Shiyi, and when she did, his ears twitched a bit but didn’t show much resistance.

She let out a sigh of relief.

It seems the reason he had scratched her before was because she bothered him first…

“I’m sorry, Shiyi.

I didn’t mean to annoy you last time.”

Shiyi hummed softly from his nostrils, as if responding.

Nanxi stroked Shiyi’s fur, marveling at how silky it was…

Lu Yinchu emerged from the kitchen soon after, seeing Nanxi playing with Shiyi.

A smile tugged at his lips, and the discomfort from the previous night had mostly dissipated.

He told Nanxi, “Go wash your hands.

We will eat soon.”

“Oh.” Nanxi replied awkwardly.

As a woman, she felt embarrassed to let a man cook breakfast for her, as if she had failed women everywhere.

After eating, Lu Yinchu took Nanxi back to the Liang Family.

He didn’t let her go to work and threatened her, saying:

“Would you believe me if I said I could make your entire company take a week off with a single phone call?”

…Well, Nanxi believed him.

Lu Yinchu’s abuse of power wasn’t a one-time thing.

She had gotten used to it.

On the way back, Nanxi asked Lu Yinchu, “What was the medicine you gave me last night?

I noticed my rash has faded significantly.”

Lu Yinchu smiled, “It’s nothing.

I called Gui Xi and asked for a secret recipe…”

“A secret recipe?” Nanxi was surprised, “So you bought the medicine that Gui Xi recommended?”

“Not exactly…” Lu Yinchu responded with a nonchalant expression, “He brought it over last night, but I intercepted him halfway and didn’t let him come over…

He would have been in the way!”

What did he mean by in the way?

Nanxi was perplexed!
