With his consent, Jin Yu took the hairpin and gently gathered his soft hair, securing it while leaving a long strand hanging down. She twirled the strand between her fingers. “It’s done. I think it suits you well.”
This hairpin was one she had carved during her leisure time, realizing only later how perfect it was for Su Xi. Now, with the hairpin holding his hair, it looked even better than she had imagined. Jin Yu smiled softly, feeling she had made the right choice in giving it to him.
Su Xi slightly lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling, the blush rising on his face.
Tears welled up in his eyes, which he wiped away before embracing Jin Yu’s waist and burying his head in her shoulder. “Thank you.” His choked voice was filled with emotion and happiness.
Jin Yu understood and stroked his back comfortingly. Although she occasionally ignored Su Xi, she was aware of the hardships he had faced over the years.
After a while, Su Xi realized his vulnerability and quickly wiped his tears. Remembering how he had thrown himself into her arms, he blushed, lowering his head shyly. After hesitating, he looked up and softly asked Jin Yu, “Again?”
Su Xi was unaware of Jin Yu’s thoughts. When he heard her words, he hurriedly shook his head, grabbing her arm. “No, I haven’t taken on any other clients…” But he suddenly choked up, unable to continue. He worried about how she would perceive him if he revealed his hidden life as a prostitute, wanting only to enter the Jin family’s world.
He trembled slightly, his gaze evasive, avoiding Jin Yu’s eyes and looking anxious.
Jin Yu furrowed her brow slightly. He was lying, deceiving her; his eyes were panicked, dodging her gaze. There must be a client visiting tonight.
After their intimacy last night, how could he be with another woman tonight? This thought pained her. She flipped over, pressing her body onto Su Xi’s and lowering her head to kiss his lips.
Although Su Xi was not proactive in sexual matters, after two years with Jin Yu, he knew what she might do next. He slightly parted his lips, waiting for her deeper kiss.
