Tang Mo’er’s black eyes suddenly narrowed. She thought it was ludicrous. What had her mother been taken for? A surrogacy tool?
She raised her bright eyes and looked at Lu Jinwen.
Lu Jinwen’s handsome, chiseled face was composed on the surface, and he did not even raise an eyebrow. He moved his thin lips, and his voice did not reveal any emotion. “We will discuss this more in the future. Have your meal first.”
…
In the master bedroom after dinner.
Lin Xuanyin was packing her luggage. She was lovingly packing clothes for Tang Mo’er, like a mother packing the luggage for her own daughter.
At this moment, there was a creaking sound, and the door was pushed open. Lu Jinwen entered and his strong arm encircled Lin Xuanyin’s waist. He said in a low voice, “Xuanyin, Mo’er doesn’t need to pack anything for school. You don’t have to prepare all this.”
Lin Xuanyin placed the clothes into the luggage and smiled gently. “Mo’er will be going to school tomorrow. I’m worried and I want to prepare something for her.”
After speaking, Lin Xuanyin stretched her hand out to hug Lu Jinwen’s muscular torso. She raised his head to look at him. “Jinwen, did I say something wrong just now? Because I have a heart condition and can’t get pregnant, in the past you got Xuanji to bear a child for me. Should I not have mentioned this matter to Mo’er? I think… Mo’er doesn’t seem to like me.”
Lin Xuanyin felt a little sad and desolate.
Lu Jinwen’s deep almond-shaped eyes did not reveal any emotion. He stretched his large palm out to stroke Lin Xuanyin’s hair, and he spat out a few words. “You don’t have to care about Mo’er’s matters.”
Lin Xuanyin’s beautiful face stiffened after hearing these words. But very soon after, she tenderly and lovingly looked at Lu Jinwen’s handsome face, and she reached out her fingers to stroke it. Why had the years been so good to him?
His handsome face practically showed no signs of aging. Those lines on his face were increasingly deep and mature as time went by, just like a glass of aged French red wine. The longer it aged, the richer and deeper the taste.
However, she was not that lucky in terms of aging well.
Just now, she sat by the vanity table and scrutinized her face. Her face that was originally beautiful and ravishing… all those years of being in a coma had made her face very pale and increased the wrinkles around her eyes. She was no longer youthful.
Why had she aged?
He had not aged. How could she have aged?
Had Lin Xuanji aged too?
Would Lin Xuanji be as privileged and not age a single bit as well?
And so, was she the only one who had aged?
No.
She was unable to tolerate it.
Lin Xuanyin tiptoed and kissed Lu Jinwen’s sturdy lower jaw, and proceeded to kiss his thin lips.
Lu Jinwen did not evade. He allowed her to kiss him a couple of times, then he held her by the waist to restrain her. His low voice was laced with tenderness. “Xuanyin, please stop fooling about. You just regained consciousness, and your health hasn’t recovered yet.”
“No, Jinwen. After so many years, haven’t you missed me?”
Lin Xuanyin reached her hand out to undo the buttons on Lu Jinwen’s shirt.
Today, Lu Jinwen was wearing a black shirt. A few buttons on his shirt had been swiftly undone by her, revealing half of his muscular torso. He was a man already in his fifties, but his muscles were still well-defined, and he clearly exuded the aura of a handsome man.
Lu Jinwen allowed her to do whatever she pleased. After that, he stretched his large hand out and grasped her wrist. “Xuanyin, did you forget that you have a heart condition? You can’t do strenuous activities.”
Lin Xuanyin blanched and her eyes instantly dulled. She had heart failure and was unable to do anything too strenuous that would take a toll on her heart.
This illness had caused her to lose all the pleasures of being a woman.
Lu Jinwen released her and strode into the bathroom.
…
The whooshing sound of the water flowing ensued as the man inside the bathroom showered. Lin Xuanyin sat by the vanity table. There was a female servant beside her.
Lin Xuanyin picked up a comb to comb her hair and asked lightly, “During these years that I was unconscious, did Sir have any women?”
She was in deep sleep for so many years. At that point in time, Lu Jinwen was only in his thirties and in the prime of his youth with strong physical desires.
Had he been with other women?
“To answer Madam’s question, Sir did not have other women. I’ve not seen Sir staying out or bringing any women back home.”
Lin Xuanyin’s pale face immediately revealed a slight smile. “What about those female secretaries or whatnot in the company? Were there not any young, beautiful ladies throwing themselves at him?”
“Sir rarely goes out all these years. Everything is being handled by Butler Ye. As long as Sir is not willing, those women would never have a chance with him.”
Lin Xuanyin straightened her back and breathed a sigh of relief. Truth be told, she trusted this man to not dally with other women.
He would also not give those women any chances.
His self-control had always been impressive. It had been so many years that he did not have a woman by his side, and he had no need to seek relief from his physical desires.
“Alright, you may leave.”
“Yes, Madam,” The servant said before retreating.
…
After the servant had left, Lin Xuanyin got up slowly, went to the closet and opened it. In the corner of the closet, there was a set of red silk lingerie.
She retrieved the red silk lingerie and put it on.
Lin Xuanyin liked the color white as it represented elegance, while Lin Xuanji liked the color red as it represented the heat of burning flames.
Although they were twin sisters, the colors they preferred were vastly different.
Wherever Lin Xuanji was, there would be a pretty shade of red, like a burning flame.
Thud. The bathroom door opened and Lu Jinwen walked out.
He was wearing a set of black silk pajamas. The pajamas was loosely tied, and he was drying his wet hair with a towel. His deep almond-shaped eyes swept the room, but he did not see anyone.
All of a sudden, someone hugged his waist from behind.
Lu Jinwen threw the towel in his hand onto the sofa and his lips curved slightly. His low voice was laced with a hint of seduction. “Xuanyin, Mo’er is already so big now. Why are we doing this again, hm?”
He turned around and his black eyes narrowed fiercely.
Lin Xuanyin was wearing red lingerie. The flaming red color accentuated her fair and beautiful face, and she looked dazzling.
He looked at this face and superimposed it on the face from his memories.
Lin Xuanyin raised her hand and stroked Lu Jinwen’s handsome and chiseled face. “Jinwen, I want to have a child with you too. Let’s give it a try and see if we can succeed.”
“Younger sister and you have given birth to a child. The initial arrangement was for us to borrow her stomach. Why did you take advantage of her body? You had a child with her already. You were the one who impregnated her.”
“After Mo’er was born, Younger sister wanted to escape, but was captured by you. You had her imprisoned and went to look for her every night. You stayed out every night. You did not take precautions too and Younger Sister had to secretly steal some contraceptive pills to take. When you found out, you were so furious.”
The muscles in Lu Jinwen’s entire body tensed up as those memories from the past were brought up. Even his deep almond-shaped eyes showed more than a hint of red. He immediately wrapped Lin Xuanyin up in his arms and threw her onto the large bed.
