Chapter 220: Chapter 220: One More Time?
Obviously, the Xue siblings were not suited for this melancholic mood.
Xue Jiarui pulled himself together, grinning mischievously as he approached Xue Xianglan, "Sis, when did you get back?"
Xue Xianglan glanced sideways and let out a cold laugh, "Kid, you’ve got some nerve now, even scheming against your own sister!"
Xue Jiarui was unfazed, "I’m doing this for you. Since you’ve both been dragging your feet, with such a great opportunity right in front of you, I had to lend a hand."
"So you’re saying I should thank you?" Xue Xianglan squinted her eyes slightly, hinting at a deeper meaning.
Xue Jiarui was indifferent to Xue Xianglan’s reaction, proudly lifting his head, "You must thank me! Without my divine intervention, who knows how long you both might have stayed stuck? By that time, my hair would be white, and I couldn’t play with my nephew."
Xue Xianglan raised an eyebrow, "You’ve got some long-term plans. If you want to hold a child, have one yourself. There’s a bunch of women out there eager to have your baby."
Xue Jiarui immediately wagged a finger, "No, no, no. I’m still young, not interested in dating, and even less in having kids, so I’m eyeing yours."
"You could urge Young Master Tang and Gu Yan to have a nephew for you to play with, instead of targeting me."
Xue Jiarui asked, "Did something go wrong with my plan last night?"
Xue Xianglan nodded, "You calculated well, but you missed the human heart. He wouldn’t do anything to me when I’m not conscious."
This, she was well aware of.
Before, when they were together, there were times he couldn’t restrain himself, but he always held back and didn’t take the last step.
Xiang Linghao’s love for her was shown through the little things in life.
In the past, she only felt comfortable. Looking back now, it was truly reassuring and warm.
Now, she actually longed for those times, wanting to return to them.
Xue Xianglan patted the slightly confused Xue Jiarui, "Kid, come back and plot us once you’ve fallen in love. Maybe you’ll succeed the first time."
"Huh? You want to wait for me to fall in love before getting with Brother Hao? Sis, you can’t do this to Brother Hao. If you wait for me to fall in love, it’ll be too late."
Xue Xianglan just raised an eyebrow, "I’m just suggesting it. Did I say I’d definitely wait for you to be in love to decide my lifetime matters? You think too highly of yourself."
Xue Jiarui, "..." Saying it like this makes it seem like he’s lacking in intelligence.
"Sis, what do you really mean by this?"
"Figure it out yourself. And don’t act on your own next time. If you mean well but things go wrong, wouldn’t you be furious?"
Xue Jiarui nodded emphatically, "I would!"
"Then there you have it. The matters between Xiang Linghao and me, we’ll handle them ourselves. You should worry less and instead find a girl to settle down with."
Xue Jiarui pouted, "I already said I’m not interested at the moment."
"Fine, suit yourself, but don’t wait too long. Our family is counting on you to carry on the family line. Don’t play too hard and get into trouble with... you know what."
Xue Xianglan said this while casting a meaningful glance at his crotch.
Xue Jiarui, "..."
Are you really my sister?
Xue Xianglan chuckled, turned, and went upstairs, "Your sister still has a headache from a hangover, going to sleep."
Go away already!
Xue Jiarui’s inner monologue screamed. To be mocked by his own sister about becoming impotent, there’s just no one else like him.
He now blamed their parents for not having more children, so the duty of carrying on the family line wouldn’t fall on him.
His carefree and unfettered life... seems to be drifting further away from him.
Gu Yan woke up, finding it was already noon.
She blinked blankly, shifting her body only to feel sore all over, especially in her private area, which felt burning hot.
She recalled the events of last night, Tang Yuxiu’s passion, her compliance, and the ups and downs of the night, a blush of embarrassment appeared on her face.
She and Tang Yuxiu had finally reached this point, completely becoming each other’s.
She wasn’t quite sure how she felt inside, a bit sour and astringent, yet warm.
Just hoping Tang Yuxiu wouldn’t let her down.
She just wanted to find a piece of tranquil world, to be with the one she loves forever, plain and simple, with no extra demands.
As she moved slightly, Tang Yuxiu immediately woke up.
Her back was against his firm chest, his arms wrapped around her from behind, their bodies closely pressed together, exchanging warmth.
"Awake?" Tang Yuxiu’s voice was low and hoarse, whether from just waking up or from too much indulgence last night, carrying a seductive tone in Gu Yan’s ears.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she softly responded.
Hearing her quiet reply, Tang Yuxiu’s arms around her tightened a bit, his fingers gently caressing her cheek.
His breath was warm against her ear, keeping the blush on Gu Yan’s face from fading away.
"Still in pain?" he asked softly, his tone a bit tender.
Gu Yan buried her face into the pillow, shaking her head, "It’s okay."
Even though she felt a burning pain down there and didn’t dare move easily, her whole body was limp and weak, only wanting to lie still and rest for a day and a night, she didn’t want to admit it when Tang Yuxiu asked.
Aside from being shy, she probably also didn’t want him to think he was overly indulgent and hurt her feelings.
Ah, women, once they fall in love, it seems their whole heart and eyes are only for him, thinking of him in every way.
But Gu Yan is very satisfied with this feeling.
In this world, having someone worth your thoughts and emotions, making you feel a different kind of affection, is something to be happy about.
Listening to her slightly muffled voice, Tang Yuxiu chuckled softly, reaching out to turn her head straight.
"Burying yourself in the pillow like this, aren’t you afraid of getting smothered?"
Gu Yan muttered softly, "I think it’s quite comfortable."
"Hmm?" Tang Yuxiu elongated the last note meaningfully, with a hint of languid charm that comes with just waking up.
"Comfortable?" He asked back, with a taste that seemed rather unusual.
Gu Yan didn’t think much, she simply nodded, "Not bad."
She was still shy, not daring to face Tang Yuxiu directly.
And when Tang Yuxiu heard her answer, a playful glint flashed through his dark eyes, which deepened, and suddenly he turned her around completely. With one hand supporting his body, their positions changed to him above and her below.
Gu Yan was startled, then reacted, her face turning increasingly red.
Last night, they were in this exact position, swaying together through the night.
The scenes from last night lingered in her mind, making Gu Yan feel all the more embarrassed.
And her expression, in Tang Yuxiu’s eyes, seemed tender and soft, evoking a deeper sense of cherish.
His fingers stroked her cheek, his voice slightly hoarse, "If it’s comfortable, shall we go again?"
Gu Yan, "..." What does this mean?
What does he mean by going again?
Why does this sound so wrong? Are they on the same wavelength?
"What are you talking about?" Gu Yan blinked and asked.
Tang Yuxiu looked down at her intently, faintly asking back, "What do you think?"
Gu Yan wore a look of ignorance, "I don’t know."
A ripple of amusement and helplessness crossed Tang Yuxiu’s eyes, "Alright, then I’ll have to show you through my actions."
Before Gu Yan could speak or react, the man’s handsome face was already moving closer.
The warmth and feeling on her lips seemed the same as last night, filled with desire and affection.
His kiss, like him, was forceful and domineering, seemingly wanting to devour her.
Yet, Gu Yan could feel within it a softness unique to her.
Originally wanting to push him away, her hands wrapped around his neck, lightly biting her lips, allowing his kiss to deepen.
She passively and willingly endured and responded to his kiss; the weather this afternoon seemed very nice.
Unsurprisingly, the two entangled once more.
A man who has just tasted the flavor of desire seemingly doesn’t know satisfaction, wanting the woman beneath him over and over again, never stopping until the end.
After once, the man was still unsatisfied, holding her to seek again.
Until Gu Yan felt unwell, lying low on his shoulder, panting softly and pleading.
"I’m in pain, please don’t move anymore."
When she mentioned pain, the man immediately halted his movements, lowering his gaze at Gu Yan’s frowning face, and those pitiable eyes, a sigh resounded in his heart.
"Really wish to never get up like this."
Tang Yuxiu stated so bluntly, making Gu Yan feel utterly embarrassed as her blood rushed to her head.
She glared at him, which looked to Tang Yuxiu like she was expressing all kinds of charming resentment.
"If you keep glaring, I probably won’t be able to resist continuing regardless of your pain."
The man’s words were clearly playful, afraid he might actually take action again.
Her body truly was sore and too painful, she didn’t want to move a finger.
Fortunately, Tang Yuxiu’s self-control was always stronger than most, even under these circumstances, he tried his best to maintain some sanity.
He was very aware of how uncomfortable she felt, thus, even though he was enduring his own hardship, he didn’t want to make her more uncomfortable.
In matters like this, aside from mutual consent, he believed it was essential for both to feel pleasure.
She must not be left with any shadows.
"You really are an enchantress, don’t move anymore, my patience is quite limited."
With his beloved woman on the bed, in a man’s eyes, this woman is the epitome of an enchantress, with even the tiniest movement or look capable of entrapping him completely.
Tang Yuxiu sighed silently to himself, in the end, he had fallen utterly, willingly so.
Listening to Tang Yuxiu’s words, Gu Yan suddenly tensed up, not daring to move.
Tang Yuxiu was speechless and amused, what could he say to her in this situation.
"I want you to relax, not tense up." he chuckled softly.
