Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 116 - 117: This Life, Don’t Even Think About Escaping

Chapter 116: Chapter 117: This Life, Don’t Even Think About Escaping

"What kind of trickery is this?" He suddenly laughed, deeply staring at her, "Su Xingyu, I should be the one asking what you’re up to. Didn’t you say you wouldn’t help me even if I drank myself to death on the roadside? Usually, when I need you, you act like you’re dying, so why are you being so proactive today, refusing to leave?"

Need... her?

She suddenly understood his meaning, instantly imagining countless nights of his physical conquest, feeling both ashamed and angry, her pride wounded, she turned her head away and remained silent.

He forcibly held her chin and turned her head: "Why?"

Pained, she opened her eyes and glared at him, "Aren’t you being annoying? It’s like if I’m not dying, you wouldn’t want me!" As soon as she spoke, her face turned red, oh god, oh god...! She had been around him so long that even her speech had become coarse! How embarrassing... sob sob sob...

She twisted hard a few times, wanting to cover her face with her hands, but he grabbed them: "Don’t move."

She noticed something in his lower abdomen seemed to get harder, which frightened her into shivering and didn’t dare move.

She stammered again: "You, you, you don’t act rashly!"

He furrowed his brow, feeling extremely uncomfortable, his body desperately seeking release, and his burning stomach pain not having eased at all. Yet seeing her so frightened and flustered made him want to laugh. Who was it that was saying harsh words just now? And now begging for mercy?

He suppressed his full mind of bad thoughts, continuing aggressively interrogating: "Why insist on sleeping with me?"

"I, I..." Seeing him about to tear her silk garments, she couldn’t care about anything else, and shouted out her true feelings, "I hate being sick alone and I bet you don’t like it either! When you’re sick, you should have someone to take care of you! I want to take care of you!"

"I don’t need anyone to take care of me."

"You do need it!" That hardest sentence said out loud, the rest came easier, Su Xingyu carefully looked at him, brazenly reaching to touch his face, "Lu Shifeng, ever since my mom died I’ve been very lonely, I understand what loneliness feels like, you gave me a home, I... want to give you a home too."

He didn’t speak and turned away his face so she couldn’t see his expression.

For a long time, he released her, got up from her, and went into the bathroom.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom, Su Xingyu was anxious, walked to the door and tentatively called: "Lu Shifeng, Lu Shifeng?"

Not knowing if he heard inside, there was no response, leaving her pacing helplessly by the door, not knowing what to do? She repeatedly went over her words just now, it seemed there was no mistake, so how come this beast ready to strike preferred letting her off to take a shower? Had... he lost interest in her?

Oh heavens...

She should’ve been happy, but for some reason, there was a faint sense of loss in her heart?

"Lu Shifeng, are you okay?" she continued calling by the door while pacing, he was still sick, wouldn’t this shower worsen his condition?

Just as she was at a loss, considering whether to break in, the door opened.

He came out shirtless, a white towel wrapped around his waist, crystalline droplets running over his elegant musculature, making him look fierce and dangerous.

Su Xingyu instinctively took a step back.

A terrifying thought flashed through her mind - could it be that, you know, he’s going to clean up first and then thoroughly ravage her?

Shouldn’t she... escape while she still can?

Lu Shifeng walked forward step by step.

She stepped back step by step.

Finally, with her back up against the bedroom wall, there was nowhere left to retreat.

He sneered: "With just this little courage, you dare to provoke me?"

She blinked those moist eyes again, which seemed to be her habitual act whenever she got nervous, cautiously telling him: "When, when you’re sick, you should rest well, don’t do any intense activities, okay?"

He snorted again, commanding: "Get me my pajamas."

Feeling as if she had been granted a great pardon, she quickly ran to fetch his pajamas, then under his orders, like a little wife, helped him to put them on.

The deep black silky robe fell onto his firm chest, looking extremely alluring, she blushed and turned her head aside.

This time, he didn’t tease her, making long strides to bed, lying on his side with his back to her.

She hesitantly waited for a long time, seeing that he was indeed sleeping honestly before cautiously lying down on the other side of the bed and turning off the light.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the summer night sky was tranquil.

In the dark, she was unable to fall asleep, uncontrollably turned to look at Lu Shifeng beside her, the man facing away from her breathed evenly, clearly long asleep.

She couldn’t help but slightly lift her small hand.

Withdraw it back.

Lifting it again.

After going back and forth many times, finally, she cautiously draped it over his waist, feeling along until reaching what seemed to be his stomach, she rubbed it, seeming relieved to pause. The owner of this small hand contentedly revealed a smile, lightly leaning her forehead against his wide shoulders, peacefully falling asleep.

The summer night sky glittered brilliantly.

The stars in the sky were magnificent and bright.

Lu Shifeng was actually not asleep at all, feeling the light, warm little hand on his stomach, and the slight floral fragrant sweet breath from the person behind him. After a long time, he reached out a long and well-jointed hand, covering hers. Xingyu, my little wife, you can forget escaping this lifetime.

Su Xingyu slept very sweetly, rare to wake up with Lu Shifeng still there.

In the morning light, he looked down attentively at her, seeing her open her eyes, then casually turned his head away.

"Lu Shifeng..." She rubbed her eyes still somewhat drowsy, "How are you feeling, is your stomach pain better?"

"It’s fine now." He rarely spoke to her calmly, but the next sentence woke her from all drowsiness, "I’ve arranged a dinner for the weekend, bringing you to the manor to meet the family."

Meet... the family?!

She vaguely remembered him mentioning during the street photo contest that he would take her home to meet his grandfather and mother after the competition, but she had completely forgotten it! Why did it still feel so sudden, with no mental preparation at all?

"I..." She was about to cry, unwillingness written all over her face, "Can I..."

"I said no before," he reverted to the fierce Lu Shifeng, squinting dangerously at her, "If you don’t go, I’ll immediately order a press conference to globally announce your position as the young mistress of the Lu Family."

A sudden epiphany struck her mind: "So, if I go, can you not reveal my status?"

His gaze became even more dangerous: "You’ve grown bold, learned to negotiate terms."

Su Xingyu looked like she was about to cry, this pervert, devil, tyrant! Boo hoo hoo after she was so good to him yesterday, now that his stomach pain was slightly better he returned to being ruthless!
