Chapter 193 Entanglement
Chapter 193 Entanglement
The sandalwood incense rose gently from the gilded Boshan incense burner, its smoke swirling and curling in the warm orange glow of the lamp.
The two embraced for a long time again. Bai Li leaned against Jing Ye's chest, feeling his familiar scent, and her heart was at peace.
Jingye gently stroked Baili's hair, her voice soft: "Miss, you must have had a hard time while I was away."
Bai Li shook her head slightly: "It's not hard work."
Compared to my past life, every second now feels like paradise.
Every day when I open my eyes, countless sources of wealth are flowing in.
Once at the company, she's the boss. At most, she just attends meetings and looks at reports. She doesn't have to be bossed around, and she gets to be pampered by her beautiful female secretaries.
At all times, there are NPCs providing comprehensive care.
On days like these, Bai Li couldn't bring herself to say it was hard work...
It's one thing if it's not hard work.
But in many moments of solitude, with no one by my side, a feeling of emptiness always wells up in my heart.
For example, enjoying a breakfast with no one to share it with.
When someone else brews tea, it always feels like something's missing when you taste it.
She was the only person in the huge CEO's office.
Faced with crucial decisions, they could only rely on their own judgment, without any discussion.
Longing arises quietly in these moments.
Bai Li smiled and said, "I just think about you occasionally."
She spoke casually, but Jingye's heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer. Her heart pounded violently in her chest, and the arms around her waist tightened involuntarily: "I will never leave again. I will always be with you, I swear."
The air, thick with the scent of sandalwood, suddenly became viscous.
Jingye lowered her head slightly, gently resting her chin on the top of Baili's hair, her Adam's apple bobbing slightly from an angle she couldn't see.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm the surging emotions within him, but those overwhelming feelings were not so easily suppressed.
Moreover, he has already broken free from the shackles of dogma.
His heart and body were "branded" by the new mistress, and he was constantly concerned about her.
Bai Li, oblivious to the situation, softly replied, "Okay, I'll stay with you too."
He then pondered to himself:
I feel like tonight's quiet night is particularly clingy.
Perhaps it's just a normal reaction after a long separation.
After all, being away from home for so long inevitably leads to some emotional fluctuations.
Just as Bai Li was pondering to herself, Jing Ye's voice whispered in her ear: "Then... Miss, can you stay and keep me company tonight?"
His voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of barely perceptible anticipation.
Upon hearing this, Bai Li's eyes widened instantly.
Is the still night inviting me?
Bai Li turned her head in disbelief and looked straight at Jing Ye.
On the surface, Jingye remained calm, but his familiar blue eyes were now twinkling, revealing the desire in his heart.
He actually wants her to stay and sleep with him?
Isn't this a bit too clingy?
For some reason, Bai Li recalled the quiet night from her fragmented memories.
The little one sat alone at the foot of the bed, hugging his knees and looking at the moon in the sky.
Just recalling those scenes makes Bai Li's heart soften.
It's just sleeping...
She must be overthinking it.
The "accompanying" he was referring to was definitely not the kind he understood; it must have been simply being there for someone!
Jingye has always been a virtuous and upright person!
I was truly judging others by my own petty standards.
Haha.
While Bai Li was still pondering, Jing Ye, not receiving a response, asked again in a low, cautious voice, "Is it alright, Miss? Would this request be too much?"
"It's not excessive, of course it's allowed."
Bai Li answered Jing Ye almost without hesitation.
Jingye rarely makes requests on his own initiative, and since he had just come home tonight, she naturally had to fulfill his request.
Furthermore, deep down, Bai Li believed that Jing Ye would not do anything to make her uncomfortable.
He knew all too well how considerate he was.
It's just sleeping together tonight, it's no big deal!
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, a barely perceptible glint flashed in Jingye's eyes, and a faint smile appeared on her lips: "Then let me help Miss wash up?"
Before Bai Li could react, Jing Ye grabbed her hand and led her towards the bathroom.
She was still a little dazed when she was pulled away.
and many more!
Why should someone serve me when I wash myself?
Just washing up?
The smile on Jingye's face flashed through my mind. Besides her usual gentleness, there seemed to be something else about her, like a dangerous reef hidden beneath a calm lake, making her unfathomable.
Just before being dragged into the bathroom, Bai Li let out a final, heartfelt cry: She...she didn't remember Jing Ye being a "carnivore"!
-------------------------------------
Moonlight filtered through the gauze curtains, weaving a silvery net in the sandalwood-scented room, creating a tranquil yet hazy atmosphere.
Soon, the sound of running water could be heard from inside the bathroom.
Warm, moist air quickly spread out.
The mist drifted over the threshold, entwining with the clothes scattered on the dark carpet to form an ambiguous cocoon.
The rising mist on the frosted glass blurred the tall figure, making it look like a dream.
Jingye lowered his eyes slightly, his thick eyelashes casting a fan-shaped shadow under his eyelids, the shadow trembling slightly with his breath.
An undercurrent climbed up from the tailbone, and in her dazed state, Bai Li vaguely saw the deep blue surging in Jing Ye's eyes.
The color, like the deep sea, shed her former restraint and calmness, carrying with it a long-suppressed desire that, like a surging wave, shattered her reason.
Bai Li felt her blood rushing through her body, as if it were about to burst into flames.
She couldn't help but gasp softly, "It's so hot..."
Upon hearing Bai Li's voice, Jing Ye stopped what she was doing and thoughtfully readjusted the water temperature.
Bai Li was both amused and exasperated.
This isn't hot!
But before she could utter a sound, she was pulled into a new wave of passion.
Water trickled through her damp hair, slid down her beautifully shaped cheeks, and finally flowed into her slightly flushed lips, creating a delicate, glistening effect that was breathtakingly beautiful.
The water droplets dripping from the ends of her hair meandered along the undulating spine, accumulating into small lakes in the hollows of her waist, and were then steamed into mist by her devout lips and tongue.
Bai Li's snow-white hands frantically gripped the cold wall, trying to grasp a sliver of security, but in the end, she couldn't hold onto anything and could only tremble helplessly.
As she trembled, a pair of slender, well-defined fingers gently covered her, slowly interlocking with hers.
The condensed water droplets suddenly fell, striking out a crisp, trembling sound in the silence.
The exclamation was cut off, turning into a muffled sob between the lips.
