224 The Happiness in Bed Doesnât Last Forever
âIâm watching a fight.â Lin Jiao picked up her bag and walked out with Pei Yilan. âYouâre in Nan Yu?â
âIn five more minutes.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThen weâll go downstairs.â
Pei Zhi picked them up at the entrance of Nan Yu hotel.
!!
In order to avoid being too crowded, he let Pei Yilan sit in the front passenger seat and opened the door to the back seat.
âHoney, how much did you drink tonight?â He leaned close to her neck, and the faint fragrance of cypress overwhelmed Lin Jiao.
âFive or six glasses of champagne.â
âJiaojiao, tell me quickly.â Pei Yilan, who was waiting to hear the gossip, turned around. âWhy did Gu Quan and the others fall out?â
âSu Tian and He Qi got together.â
âOh my god!â Qu Shao and Pei Yilan said in unison. The former slowed down the car. âHow did he find out?â
âHe bumped into them at the restaurant.â Lin Jiao repeated the conversation with Gu Quan and mentioned He Qiâs provocation.
âI wasnât going to interfere, but he was so disgusting, I couldnât help myself.â
Pei Yilan crossed her arms and sneered. âHe Qi and Su Tian are really a nasty couple. I regret not hitting him a few more times.â
âYou guys even fought with him?â
âJiaojiao slapped him. I hit him a few times with the dice cup, then Gu Quan hit him again.â
Pei Zhi looked at her sideways. âDid he scold you?â
âI scolded him a little.â Lin Jiao leaned into Pei Zhiâs arms and smiled. âAnyway, I taught him a lesson.â
âOne slap isnât enough.â
âThen Iâll slap him twice next time?â
âGood idea.â He leaned against the top of her head, his narrow eyes dark as an abyss in the dim light.
Qu Shao, who was looking at him through the rearview mirror, had goosebumps because of Pei Zhiâs gaze. He thought to himself that some people were going to be unlucky.
He sent Pei Yilan to Ming Xin Mansion before driving to the Red Maple Forest. He hinted, âBoss, are you going to deal with them tonight?â
âTomorrow.â Pei Zhi held Lin Jiaoâs hand and said goodbye to Qu Shao before disappearing into the elevator.
When they got home, they took off their down jackets and sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking a cup of freshly brewed black tea.
The steam from the cup rose and brushed past Lin Jiaoâs eyelashes, enveloping her pure and lustful fox eyes.
âHubby.â She licked the water from her lips and looked up to meet his gaze. âWhy are there so many people who are unfaithful to their relationships?â
âBecause they are fickles, and there are many people throwing themselves at them, itâs very easy for them to not be able to resist the temptation.â
âBut are they really happy?â
âItâs just a moment of happiness.â Pei Zhi stroked her long hair. âThe time in bed canât last forever.â
Lin Jiao thought of the old Zhou Yanshen.
Although he was not disloyal or betrayed people, he always lived a thrill-seeking life.
She put down the cup and leaned into his arms. Her fair fingertips landed on his collar. âItâs rare to see someone as loyal as you.â
Pei Zhi lowered his eyes. âIâm not loyal.â
His serious expression stunned Lin Jiao. She couldnât help but wonder if she had heard wrongly.
She flexed her knuckles. âWhat do you mean?â
âI like every aspect of you.â Pei Zhi kissed her lips. âEspecially when you wear a nightgown and seduce me.â
His hot breath brushed against her skin, and Lin Jiao was immersed in his eyes.
She bit his Adamâs apple and glared at him as intimidatingly as before. âDonât tease me with such things.â
Pei Zhi agreed gently. âHoney.â He would not let go of any chance to act pitiful. âIt hurts.â
âThere are no teeth marks. Why does it hurt?â
âIt really hurts.â
Lin Jiao kissed his Adamâs apple. âDoes it still hurt?â When her soft lips approached, it was as if there was a fine electric current drilling into his skin.
âAre you seducing me again?â
âWhy is that seducing you?â
âYou are seducing me.â
Ever since they officially started dating, her being within five meters of him was a temptation to him.
Seeing that his eyes gradually darkened, Lin Jiaoâs face turned hot. She could vaguely guess what was going to happen next.
She hesitated for two seconds before climbing onto his neck. âIâm hungry now. Can you cook a bowl of noodles for me?â
Pei Zhi smiled. âOkay.â His fingers caressed her earlobe. âTake a shower first. You can eat when youâre done.â
The words that were emphasized made oneâs imagination run wild.
With a red face, Lin Jiao broke free from the restraint around her waist and walked towards the master bedroom without saying a word.
She took forty minutes to shower and remove her makeup. In the end, she only wore a wine-red silk bathrobe and appeared in front of him.
âHubby, arenât you eating?â She sat cross-legged on the carpet. Her fair legs were especially eye-catching under the warm light.
âIâm not hungry for the time being.â Pei Zhi took two sips of water to ease the dryness in his throat. âEat slowly. Iâll wash the bowls.â
...
Lin Jiao nodded without replying.
She rolled up a mouthful of noodles and focused her attention on the LCD screen.
The sound of water in the bathroom had stopped.
Pei Zhi, who had come out of the master bedroom, picked up the empty bowl and held her hand. âHoney, will you accompany me to the kitchen?â
âYou want me to watch you wash?â
âCan you?â
Of course, Lin Jiao would not refuse.
She glanced at the advertisement on the TV. She thought that she would be able to watch the next episode when she came out, but it took an hour before she could come out.
âHubby.â She snuggled in his arms, no longer in the mood to watch the TV. âI want some juice.â
Pei Zhi tightened his grip on her waist.
He first carried her into the bedroom, then returned to the living room to pour a glass of fruit juice and fed it to her lips. âDoes the grape juice taste good?â
...
âItâs good.â
âLet me try it.â Without giving her a chance to react, he leaned over and covered her red lips.
Suddenly, Lin Jiao was pulled into his gentle trap again. She had nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.
BuzzâBuzzâ
The phone on the bedside table rang at noon.
Lin Jiao patted him with sleepy eyes. âHubby, who is calling?â
âI donât know.â Pei Zhi picked up his phone and looked at the unknown number on the screen. âDo you want to answer it?â
âGive it to me.â Lin Jiao cleared her throat.
The moment she pressed the answer button, a familiar yet unfamiliar female voice sounded from the receiver. âMiss Lin, are you free to talk?â
âAnd you are?â
âSu Tian.â Su Tian had heard about the engagement party from He Qi and had not slept for almost the entire night.
She had a feeling that if Lin Jiao appeared in front of Gu Quan again, the chances of them reconciling would be even lower.
Therefore, when it was noon, she borrowed the nannyâs phone to call Lin Jiao. She really couldnât wait.
âWhy?â Lin Jiaoâs attitude changed the moment Su Tian introduced herself. âDo you want He Qi to push me again?â
