Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 417 - 418: Don’t Want to Affect Him

There were five dishes on the table, all rich in aroma. Lin Banxia sat by the table, resting her chin in her hand, gazing at the night view outside the window.

A few minutes later, the bathroom door opened, and the man stepped out, carrying the dampness of the shower.

He wore nothing but a white bath towel, his muscles taut and defined, the faint traces of his V-line below hinting at his strength and ruggedness.

Lin Banxia shyly dared not look at him, only sensing the man casually dabbing his short hair with a towel to wipe away the lingering droplets.

"What are you spacing out about?" Yan Ting walked straight over to her, unable to contain himself as he bent down, tilted her snow-white chin, and kissed her soft lips with his thin ones. "Are you thinking about Chu Tingting?"

Lin Banxia didn’t hide the truth from him and nodded honestly, "Yeah, she saw me today. I’m really worried she’ll suspect we came here together."

"Don’t worry. She can’t stir up any trouble!" Yan Ting reassured her in a low voice.

"Even though you and Ms. Zhao keep comforting me, I still feel uneasy. Yan Ting, how about I go back tomorrow? That way, we won’t risk raising suspicions from your grandfather." Lin Banxia suddenly stood up, lifting her head and looking seriously into his eyes as she spoke.

Yan Ting’s fingers gently traced over her snow-white cheek, his touch full of affection. "Why is your courage so small? Are you afraid to take risks with me?"

"It’s not that I don’t dare. I’m just worried it will affect your standing in your grandfather’s eyes." Lin Banxia, knowing that this period was the tensest for the Huo Family in her past life, was aware of the strain. Although Yan Ting never discussed his work with her, she could sense his current situation wasn’t optimistic.

Lin Banxia didn’t want to see him suffer setbacks—not even once.

So, she felt that during this time, she had to keep her distance from him. After all, once he fully gained control over the company’s leadership—which wouldn’t take long—she could indulge herself as much as she wanted.

"If you go back, how am I supposed to make you pregnant?" Yan Ting asked, both yearning and despondent.

Lin Banxia froze, her face turning crimson. "You keep pestering me nonstop, is that just because you want a child?"

"Of course not. It’s because you’re so sweet—no matter how much I have, it’s never enough." Yan Ting had initially set out to have a child with her, but now he realized that while the child was his goal, it was the process he enjoyed the most.

Lin Banxia truly didn’t know how to deal with this man. The things he said always seemed earnest, yet none of them were serious. He could effortlessly stir up her emotions every time.

"This time, just listen to me, will you? Just this once!" Lin Banxia, though reluctant to part with him, had made up her mind. She couldn’t let her longing and attachment continue putting him in danger.

"Banxia, you’re the first person to care about me this much. How could I ever let you go?" Yan Ting pulled her slender frame into his arms in one swift motion, holding her tightly against him.

"Stop that. Let’s eat first—I’m starving." Lin Banxia murmured, her face glowing with a rosy blush.

Only then did Yan Ting release her, pulling out the chair beside her and sitting down. "Let’s eat, though truthfully, I’d rather eat you!"

Lin Banxia dared not look directly into his eyes anymore. Seriously, every second she spent with this man left her feeling lost and disoriented. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Every cell in her body seemed to obey his commands, and she was no longer herself.
