Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot-Chapter 762 - 467 Testing Intimacy, Mixing Honey with Oil (2 more updates)_2
Actually, Huo Qinqi saw through the little schemes of the Huo family clearly. He just checked if they were following him. When Shen Shuci turned around, besides a grove of green plums, there was no other sound. As she turned slightly, she didn’t expect him to be so close to her...
Unexpectedly.
Her lips brushed past his jaw. Men of a certain age definitely have beards, and rubbing against it felt a bit itchy. Her breath deepened and she slightly backed away, but the next second, her lips were captured by someone.
Ever since that rainy night, Huo Qinqi had thought about it for a long time, along with Shen Shuci’s initiative just now...
Those sinister and crooked thoughts in his heart were instantly inspired.
They grew and spread until he couldn’t hold back anymore, continuously pressing closer.
Shen Shuci’s breathing was heavy, the man’s presence too overwhelming, almost as if he was about to devour her.
Instinctively, she stepped back, her back against the tree trunk, shaking a tree full of green plums...
Petals fell sparsely, and her whole person was now trapped between the tree trunk and Huo Qinqi’s body.
Until her breathing was uneven, she raised her hand to push against his chest, and Huo Qinqi finally withdrew slightly, but his forehead rested against hers, his nose faintly brushing against hers...
Their breaths intertwined, burning, scorching.
It even made her heart tremble more than kissing did.
"Is your stamina really that poor?" his voice was deep and husky, seemingly with a hint of teasing.
Shen Shuci hazily recalled what Ruan Mengxi had said and instinctively glanced at his nose. She had never observed it closely before, and then her whole face turned bright red.
Huo Qinqi just watched as her face turned from tender pink to red. She usually carried herself so primly, not very old, yet typically so reserved. Suddenly displaying such coquettishness unexpectedly made his throat tighten.
Originally wanting to let her catch her breath, he couldn’t wait any longer at this moment...
He turned his head and kissed her fiercely.
"Um—" Shen Shuci felt she might have provoked a wolf!
...
It was likely because they heard a car approaching from ahead that the two separated, but Huo Qinqi still pinned her entire body under him, lifting his hand to pluck the green plum petals that had fallen on her head.
"Are there a lot on my head?" Shen Shuci knew the tree had shaken earlier, and the green plum blossoms were about to fall naturally from the branches, and the disturbance had caused many petals to fall.
"Not too many." Huo Qinqi wasn’t used to doing such things for women, and his movements were somewhat clumsy.
Shen Shuci wanted to do it herself, but then she realized that her clothes weren’t very stretchy; lifting her arms felt rather uncomfortable. She was used to doing things in a big, unrestricted way, and now, being so constrained, she felt extremely uncomfortable and awkward, which made Huo Qinqi slightly curve his lips.
"These clothes were chosen by my mom," Shen Shuci explained.
"Very pretty."
"Do you like this style?" If he liked it, she would unconsciously want to please him; perhaps it was an instinct.
Shen Shuci slightly furrowed her brow. He liked this style? But it wasn’t her style at all; she didn’t even have many so-called ladylike dresses. Seeing her frowning, Huo Qinqi took the opportunity while picking petals...
He moved close to her ear, his breath carrying warmth, "I like you."
Deep, husky... a lover’s whisper that was moving even if it wasn’t sweet nothings, especially with such enticing words, it was even more thrilling.
"I’m fine with anything, just do whatever makes you comfortable."
Shen Shuci nodded with her ears reddening.
"What do you usually like to do?" Huo Qinqi wanted to know more about her.
"If there’s nothing on weekends, I might just stay at home and watch shows. I don’t really have other activities." If Tang Wan or Ruan Mengxi didn’t invite her out, she really didn’t have much to entertain herself.
"Watch shows?" Huo Qinqi suddenly thought about the stuff on her computer...
Shen Shuci suddenly felt the warmth in his eyes intensify, and she belatedly realized!
He couldn’t have misunderstood that she watched stuff all day at home.
Just as she was about to explain something, she heard him say:
"Next time, let’s watch together."
Shen Shuci coughed lightly.
"When you have time, I’ll take you out to the countryside for horseback riding. There’s a riding arena there, very open. If you like sports, climbing rocks and mountains are good too, depending on what interests you..." Talking about sports, Huo Qinqi still had more to say.
"You arrange it," Shen Shuci was also sporty.
"And then..." Huo Qinqi’s voice paused, "I’ll watch shows with you in the evening."
...
Shen Shuci pondered, he probably hadn’t misunderstood anything.
"I just heard a car, so everyone must be here. It’s probably time for dinner; let’s head back," Shen Shuci thought, sure that the whole Jiang Yanting family had arrived.
But Huo Qinqi grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace again.
"You..."
"One more hug."
"..."
Holding her felt so long overdue to Huo Qinqi, dinner and everything else seemed utterly trivial.
With both of them in each other’s arms, however, it was almost inevitable for the heart to flutter. Originally, he merely rubbed his cheek against hers, but as they drew closer, he almost kissed her...
Why almost? Because they were interrupted!
"Uncle Huo, it’s time to eat!" Jiangjiang ran into the backyard, "Uncle Huo, Aunt Grandma—"
He had been sent by Liang Yun to call them for dinner.
If Tang Wan had a child, the child would certainly call Shen Shuci ’Aunt Grandma,’ and naturally, Jiangjiang followed the same form of address.
As a result, he stumbled upon the two of them in an embrace, and the little guy froze for a second before covering his eyes with his hands.
But his spread fingers could not cover his eyes completely; his shiny black eyes whirled around, staring straight at the couple.
Uncle Huo and Aunt Grandma?
Shen Shuci instinctively tried to push Huo Qinqi away, but he tightened his hold on her.
"We’ll be right there!"
"Oh..." Jiangjiang turned and rushed back into the house, "...oh no! There’s trouble."
"What’s wrong? Couldn’t find Uncle Huo?" Liang Yun was fond of children, and since the Huo family’s backyard had woods, which naturally was quite large, she thought he might have run around and not found them.
"No, I found Uncle, but..." Jiangjiang bit his lip, hesitated, and wore a twisted, troubled expression.
"What’s the matter? I rarely see you this uncomfortable."
By the time Shen Shuci and Huo Qinqi returned, they hadn’t even entered when Jiangjiang had already spilled their secret...
"I saw Uncle Huo and Aunt Grandma hugging and biting lips. They aren’t husband and wife, so why were they biting lips? Mom says boys shouldn’t kiss girls casually."
Jiang Yanting was the first to notice Huo Qinqi and Shen Shuci at the door and hurriedly covered his son’s mouth...
"Shh—"
"Huh?" Jiangjiang swung his little arms, wondering why he couldn’t speak.
"We’re about to eat; I’ll take you to wash your hands!"
"Hmm—"
Jiangjiang was displeased; he had already washed his hands.
...
Everyone sat down for the meal, mostly in pairs. Everyone promptly found their places, leaving Shen Shuci no choice but to sit next to Huo Qinqi.
Throughout the meal, Shen Shuci kept her head down. Even if she had thick skin, being caught by a child in such a manner and then having it broadcasted made it inevitably embarrassing. She only picked at the dish closest to her while Huo Qinqi naturally served her more...
In front of Shen Shuci, the dishes piled up visibly into a mountain.
"Daddy, why is Uncle Huo serving Aunt Grandma?" Jiangjiang frowned.
"Eat and don’t talk!" Jiang Yanting frowned.
"Uncle Huo, do you want to be my Aunt Grandpa?"
Aunt Grandpa?
Huo Qinqi was peeling a boiled shrimp intended for Shen Shuci, but upon hearing this, he tossed it directly into Jiangjiang’s bowl as a reward.
Jiangjiang, ever the smart little rascal, immediately got it and exclaimed:
"Thank you, Aunt Grandpa!"
Jiang Jinsang raised an eyebrow slightly: the kid knew how to play to the crowd.
As for Shen Shuci, who was already not comfortable with such titles, hearing Jiangjiang calling Huo Qinqi that left her in disbelief.
"Cough—" As expected, she choked.
