Lu An raised his lips, asking mischievously, “What do you want it for?”
“How can we do that without it?”
“What do you mean?”
Jin Nian was both anxious and irritated. She lowered her head and bit his shoulder hard. “Forget it if you don’t want to do it.”
Lu An quickly reassured, “Of course, 1 have it, and of course, we need to do it. How could I not be prepared for something so crucial?”
There were all kinds of designs. After all, Lu An was a young and fiery man. They had not seen each other for ten days, and his heart was burning up every night.
Lu An handed over all the money he had saved up during these ten days to Jin Nian and asked her to check if he had paid enough for their intimate moments.
Abroad, he had maintained his integrity, not even sparing a glance at anyone.
Although Jin Nian wasn’t familiar with this aspect, she was still shocked by the astonishing amount.
“So, you endured it for ten days without resolving it on your own?”
Lu An sneered. “My wife is young and beautiful. Would I do it with my hand?”
“You’re something.” Jin Nian teased him. “But tonight in front of Teacher Tan, you weren’t like this.”
“Teacher Tan is my mother-in-law,” Lu An openly admitted. “I understand that keeping her happy means keeping the whole family happy.”
Jin Nian thought about what had happened tonight and found it amusing, but her laughter faded away.
She had just knelt with Lu An, and her knees were still a bit sore.
Lu An was still a businessman after all. He would not let himself suffer losses in any way. Tonight, he was going to get it back from her.
For the first time, they didn’t even have the chance to make it to the bedroom.
Jin Nian lay on the sofa feeling drowsy, but Lu An picked her up and carried her upstairs. “Do you prefer the bed or in front of the mirror?”
“Lu An, I’m a bit tired.”
Lu An lightly patted her behind and chuckled, “Princess Pillow, do you have the audacity to say you’re tired?”
“What Princess Pillow, I did my best just now.” Jin Nian was defiant.
“Only a couple of times, not even a little more.” He had just felt something, but she was already complaining about wanting to stop, saying she was tired.
He was blatantly looking down on her and teasing her, and Jin Nian couldn’t stand it. She knew she couldn’t win an argument with Lu An, so she decided to bite him.
Soon, Lu An’s collarbone bore the mark of her bite. He didn’t get angry. He encouraged her to bite harder. Tomorrow, he would go to the office and flaunt his accomplishments to his single colleagues.
Upon hearing his words, Jin Nian quickly reached out to rub the mark, attempting to erase her evidence.
However, it was futile. After a few rubs, the mark was still clearly visible. She could only give up. “It’s fine. Nobody in your company knows me anyway.”
After ten days of separation, Lu An wouldn’t easily let her off. He never said anything to frighten her without meaning it.
Initially, Jin Nian didn’t fully comprehend the gravity of the situation. After she cleaned up in the bathroom, she was already drained of energy. She leaned on Lu An’s body, her eyelids fluttering.
She had something on her mind last night, so she didn’t sleep well. She was afraid that things would turn sour between Lu An and Teacher Tan after their meeting.
Now that everything had been resolved perfectly, a huge weight lifted from Jin Nian’s heart. She felt fatigued.
Moreover, this shameless man had taken her to do it twice just now. She didn’t even have the strength to raise her hand anymore.
She was truly and utterly sleepy.
Not long after drifting into a light sleep, Lu An’s gentle kisses landed on her lips. Jin Nian was roused from her slumber, and she heard the man’s husky voice, “The stars outside are so beautiful. Would you like to see them?”
“What stars?” Jin Nian wasn’t completely awake yet when she felt herself lifted off the ground and carried to the balcony.
“Tonight is the 16th day of the lunar calendar, and the moon is the fullest it can be in a month. The stars are sparkling and beautiful.”
Jin Nian didn’t care about the moon’s roundness or the stars’ sparkle. She just wanted to get a good night’s sleep.
Lu An had seen countless breathtaking sceneries in his life and experienced starry nights in various countries and cities.
However, he hadn’t experienced them with Jin Nian much.
Memories long buried in the past began to resurface. In their senior year of high school, they used to have evening self-study sessions, and they wouldn’t finish until 10:30 p.m. He would wait for Jin Nian to finish class every night, and then they would walk home together.
The two of them strolled through the quiet night. Most of the city’s inhabitants had already fallen asleep. They had witnessed this beautiful and unique starry sky a few times.
Jin Nian loved gazing at the stars with her head tilted back, which sometimes made her dizzy. She would hold onto the strap of Lu An’s backpack and ask, “Lu An, what does the night sky look like to you?”
Lu An was afraid she might trip, so he held onto her arm, helping her watch her step. He wasn’t in the mood to look at the stars. “It doesn’t look like anything..”
