The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 282: What If I Say the Dream Was Real
Su Ruan’s grip around Lu Shinian’s waist tightened slightly.
Her body arched slightly, drawing closer to him.
"Brother Lu, you’ve been acting strangely lately."
She spoke softly, her eyes staring up at the white ceiling, lost in thought.
"No." Lu Shinian’s voice, deep and hoarse, murmured in Su Ruan’s ear, "It’s just that you’ve been busy with Lei Lanhu’s affairs, and we haven’t spent time together in a while."
"I miss you."
His straightforward and passionate declaration of affection made Su Ruan feel even more intrigued.
The Lu Shinian of the past would never speak like this.
"There’s now a solution for complete Beastification. Aren’t you happy about it?" she asked softly.
This issue, which had troubled the Federation for so many years, was finally resolved. Wasn’t he happy?
"Happy." Lu Shinian slowly lifted his head, bracing one hand beside Su Ruan. His dark pupils reflected only her figure, deep and without a hint of light.
"I’m very happy."
He spoke the words of happiness, yet his face betrayed no smile.
He seemed to exist beyond the world’s borders, finding a sense of presence only when his gaze rested on her.
Su Ruan pressed her lips together, her small hand resting on Lu Shinian’s chest, then pushed him away forcefully.
In an instant, she sat up, crossing her legs, her expression serious as she looked at Lu Shinian.
"You’re acting really strange right now."
"If something’s bothering you, tell me. We can discuss and solve it together, okay?"
Her eyes carried a hint of worry as she looked at him.
Even as Lu Shinian was pushed away, he did not show anger. He bowed his head slightly, the fringe of his hair partially covering his brows, his long lashes casting shallow shadows, obscuring the emotions in his eyes.
Silence spread throughout the room.
Until Su Ruan spoke again, "Is it about the legion?"
"No." Lu Shinian finally responded.
He extended a large hand, grasping Su Ruan’s ankle.
His fingertips were slightly cool as they clasped her ankle, leaving faint red marks.
Su Ruan didn’t mind his actions and continued to ask, "Is it because of Da Hu?"
Could he be jealous?
But his behavior didn’t seem jealous at all.
Lu Shinian slowly shook his head.
Looking at him, she was inexplicably reminded of the dream she had a few days ago.
She began to question whether it was her dream or... his.
Su Ruan pressed her lips tighter, and after a long silence, she began to ask, "Because you had a ridiculous dream?"
A hint of dim light passed through Lu Shinian’s eyes.
"I did have a ridiculous dream."
His voice remained hoarse, every word seeming to come from deep within his throat, carrying a slight tremble.
"I dreamed about Cheng Qingye."
"He said."
His Adam’s apple bobbed, and Lu Shinian’s gaze didn’t waver from Su Ruan.
He stopped.
Su Ruan pressed, "What did he say?"
"He said you were dead."
When he spoke the word "dead," Lu Shinian’s voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.
Su Ruan’s pupils constricted slightly, her fingers tightening against the bed sheet, wrinkling the once smooth fabric.
Her heartbeat suddenly quickened as if something had gone beyond her expectations.
The world seemed to fall silent; she could clearly hear her own heartbeat, pounding as if trying to leap out of her chest.
Her breathing slowed, with each breath requiring considerable effort, dulling her body’s reactions.
After who knows how long, she heard herself speak, "And what else?"
"What does Ruan Ruan hope for?" Lu Shinian countered.
His large hand tightened around Su Ruan’s ankle, pulling it down with a gentle but firm grip.
Her body, unprepared for such a move, fell back.
In an instant, she lay back on the bed, and Lu Shinian’s tall figure loomed over her, his shadow enveloping her completely in darkness.
Lu Shinian supported himself on the bed with one hand, the other anchoring Su Ruan’s shoulder in a firm grip.
"What does Ruan Ruan hope for? Hmm?"
Su Ruan’s long lashes fluttered, "What if I said the dream was real?"
She had indeed died once but was fortunate enough to be reborn.
The fear of death seemed to linger, swirling in her heart, refusing to dissipate.
She stared directly into Lu Shinian’s eyes, not missing a single expression on his face.
"If it were real, then..."
His grip on her shoulder tightened, spiritual power spilling forth, wolf ears appearing unbidden.
Su Ruan gasped in surprise.
Wolf ears emerged atop Lu Shinian’s head, quivering slightly.
His immense spiritual power continuously compressed and bombarded her body.
The tendrils of his spiritual power penetrated everywhere, invading not only her spiritual sea but also teasing her senses.
Her pajamas were shredded into pieces, leaving only a few strips of fabric clinging to her.
Su Ruan was stunned at how spiritual power could be used this way, her gaze at Lu Shinian a mix of shock and embarrassment.
"You..." she tried to get up, but he held her shoulders firmly, his immense spiritual power pressing down, leaving her unable to move an inch.
A dominating aura poured from Lu Shinian, his pupils faintly taking on a blood-red hue.
"Then Ruan Ruan should just stay obediently by my side." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
His voice was nearly a whisper.
"You’re not allowed to go anywhere."
All talk of giving her the sky to fly freely or letting her do as she pleased was rubbish.
She should obediently remain by his side, together all the time, not separated for even a second.
She should stay in the exquisite cage he built for her, guarding her clipped wings, forever waiting at home for his return.
He no longer wished to grant her any freedom.
The notion of freedom was but a false premise; only staying close to him offered any semblance of freedom.
The entire bedroom was filled with Lu Shinian’s spiritual power, the entire space under his control, even Su Ruan’s body.
A faint blush blossomed on Su Ruan’s skin.
The scorching air combined with his cold fingertips made her feel as if she were trapped between blazing fire and frigid ice, his spiritual power activating her every sensitive nerve.
She was involuntarily governed by his control, her spiritual sea turned upside down.
Su Ruan’s long lashes trembled, and two slender tendrils sprouted from her dark hair.
The tendrils quivered, absorbing the spiritual power spilling from Lu Shinian, both pitiful and content.
Lu Shinian gazed at the tender, pink-tipped tendrils and slowly curved his lips into a smile.
"So cute."
He lowered his head, letting his lips gently graze the right tendril.
Su Ruan felt an unprecedented thrill rise from her heart, her body shivering, her expression momentarily dazed.
