Unexpectedly, De Nu stared at him intently and slowly asked, “Why do you care if I’m tired?” She asked very seriously.
Long Jie was stunned. “Because I don’t want you to be too tired!” Wouldn’t his heart ache? Wouldn’t he feel sorry for her? Did he need to explain?
“Why? And why do you always want to stick to me? Insist on me staying here to keep you company?” Her expression made it clear she wouldn’t give up until she got a satisfactory, clear answer.
Long Jie was stunned again. What was wrong with her? Usually, if his gaze was too intense, she would glare and roll her eyes, but today she directly asked such a question?
“Because I like you! Isn’t that obvious?” Surely she knew? He had been so obvious, even falling down the stairs for her. When had he ever cared so much about a woman?!
“Like… me?” Now it was her turn to be dazed.
“Hey, what’s with that expression?” He was deeply hurt! Since puberty, he had never told a woman “I like you”, and now when he said it, he got this dazed reaction. Was being liked by him something to be upset about? If it were someone else, he wouldn’t worry! But she was Pang De Nu, a woman who had never looked at him twice.
Alas, he was precisely attracted by her cold, smart, and elegant temperament!
His continued silence almost completely eroded his male pride. Just as he was about to lie down and slowly nurse his wounded ego, she spoke.
“I just went to buy you a magazine.” She said in a muffled voice.
“So what?” A magazine couldn’t heal his emotional wounds!
“I discovered something.” She said another sentence.
“What? Did the magazine go up in price?” His tone was rough. Forgive him, his pride and emotions were severely wounded.
“No.” She still looked at him seriously. “I discovered that I like you too.” She said it as casually as noting that leaves had turned yellow.
He jumped up from the bed.
“Be careful with your leg!” She frowned, stopping his sudden movement.
His thick eyebrows rose. “Then why are you standing so far away? How can I kiss you?” His tone was unusually fierce.
Her expression was momentarily stunned. Then, just as he regretted being so harsh, she blushed slightly and walked towards him, slowly sitting down by his bed.
He pulled her into his embrace, his eager lips quickly capturing hers.
He was ecstatic, yet also worried.
I will translate the text directly into English:
Worried that she might wake up the next second and tell him it was just a dream. He never imagined she would frankly admit her feelings for him.
“Oh my God! I haven’t kissed you like this for so long…” He sucked passionately at her lips with his eager tongue, sighing.
Her face turned red from his passion, but she quickly became calm.
The German woman’s personality was calm and generous. Once she understood her feelings, she didn’t intend to avoid them. Although it was completely unexpected and almost scared her to death, since she “loved” it, she would accept it, and deal with other things later!
She hooked her arm around his powerful neck, passionately kissing him back.
His forehead heated up, feeling like he was about to burn. His hands searched her soft, perfect curves – those soft and fatally charming contours he had touched countless times in his dreams – now truly alive in his hands, soft, gentle, obedient… Was this a dream?
“Long Jie…” She didn’t know being immersed in passion felt like this, as if burning, all her senses acutely feeling him.
“Oh God!” He painfully forced his hands away from her soft cotton-like chest. “I must stop, damn it! Otherwise, I’ll possess you against your will…” He leaned on her shoulder, panting, trying to control his surging desire with willpower.
Her body stiffened. “What if… I’m willing?”
“What did you say?” He gripped her shoulders and raised his head.
Even as open-minded as she was, her face still reddened. “But your leg…” She looked worriedly at his leg still in a cast.
“My leg is fine, what’s not fine is it!” His gaze pointed to the bulge between his legs.
She glared at him.
“Are you really willing? My leg is okay, I just might need you to help a bit…” He didn’t wait for her to regret, quickly saying.
“How help?” She asked curiously.
“First lock the door, then come up and sit on my lap,” he instructed.
What were you just talking about taking a bath?” The German woman quickly changed the subject, not wanting to know what else the outspoken Xiao Mi might blurt out.
“I noticed you seem quite tired recently. How about going to take a bath? I’ll ask Lu Shuohong to drive a vacation car so we can rest in the back,” Xiao Mi planned meticulously.
“You mean we’ll rest in the back while you accompany Lu Shuohong,” the German woman interrupted her beautiful plan. “Besides, if we go to a women’s bathhouse, what will Lu Shuohong do alone? Do you think he’ll agree to be left out?” Sometimes the German woman felt sympathy for that Lu guy, who was unlucky enough to fall for someone like Xiao Mi and would inevitably suffer.
“Well…” He definitely wouldn’t agree! Xiao Mi hesitated.
“Let’s just stick to the original plan and go hiking. I’m not that tired…”
Before the German woman could finish, the phone rang, and Xiao Qi went to answer it.
“De Nü, it’s for you,” Xiao Qi’s expression was a bit strange.
“Who is it?” De Nü had few friends, so she rarely received calls and couldn’t imagine who would be calling her.
Xiao Qi shrugged. “Seems like your CEO.”
“He’s not…” Never mind! De Nü walked over and picked up the phone. “What do you want?” This guy had just been discharged from the hospital yesterday. She had helped him with his discharge procedures, taken him home, settled him in, and even prepared his meals before leaving. Who would have thought that after a nap, he would call again.
“I miss you!” Long Jie said confidently. “When are you coming?”
“Who said I’m coming? I’m busy today!” De Nü turned around and saw two curious faces watching her, making her feel awkward.
“What’s up?” Long Jie spoke in a tone of abandonment.
“I’m going hiking with my friends. We’ve already made plans,” she blocked him off, preventing him from saying she was neglecting him. This man wasn’t disabled, yet he always clung to her, which was so annoying! Although being clingy felt sweet, facing two curious eyes wasn’t the best time to experience that sweetness.
Xiao Qi and Xiao Mi vigorously shook their hands, indicating they didn’t mind.
“Can I come too?” Long Jie wasn’t easy to dismiss. De Nü had worked hard to make him swallow his feelings, and if she had extra time to think, she might start to despise him. Alas, everyone loves a CEO, but he was worried De Nü would look down on him!
“Are you crazy?” Facing the two people’s eager eyes, De Nü immediately refused the person on the phone. “You’re still using a crutch. How can you climb a mountain? Rolling down would be faster!” What a reckless man!
“It’s okay, we can change the location,” Xiao Mi quickly said.
“Yeah, we can have a barbecue by the stream. I’ll go prepare now. The meat slices at the neighboring supermarket are on sale,” Xiao Qi kindly suggested.
Before De Nü could refuse, Long Jie happily said on the phone: “Okay, that’s settled. What time are you leaving? I’ll take a car over…”
She sighed. “Stay home properly. We’ll leave at noon, and I’ll pick you up.” How exasperating! If she didn’t go get him, he would definitely find a way to join them.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you!” Long Jie’s voice was filled with laughter.
De Nü hung up the phone glumly.
When she turned around, two curious faces made it clear the matter wasn’t over.
“Are you going to tell us, or do we need to interrogate you?” Xiao Qi rarely threatened, though the gentle smile at the corner of her mouth reduced the threat.
