Long Jinjing felt shy as she climbed on the massive bed. It was the biggest she had seen so far, even bigger than the bed of her Little Sister Xiulan and Brother-in-law Liwei in their room at Dragon Palace Home #10. There was no doubt that both beds were customized to fit their owners.
Speaking of beds, Lu Zihao followed through his intention of getting them a customized bed for her little bedroom at her condo unit. She had been worried that there would be no space for a bigger bed in her small room but surprisingly, the new bed fit better than the old one. It took up almost one-third of her bedroom space but with a little rearranging of the furniture, the bed fit perfectly as if it had always belonged there. Most importantly, she and Lu Zihao felt more comfortable sleeping together in the new bed. He could now fully stretch his legs without them dangling off the bed.
She tucked herself under the duvet and watched Lu Zihao as he continued standing n.a.k.e.d in front of the windows. When he still didn’t move, she finally couldn’t take it anymore. She asked, “Are you not going to bed yet?”
“Let me calm myself down first,” he replied, still not facing her. “If I don’t, I’d end up seducing you even though you’re on your period.”
“Oh.”
Her face and neck heated up which spread throughout her whole body. Then feeling a little courageous, she made a daring offer in a stammering voice. “I can…h-help you, you know. Uhm, I can use my…h-hands and mouth….”
He growled and turned only his upper body to finally look at her. “Don’t tempt me, Jinjing. Go to sleep. I’ll join you later.”
“Oh. Okay.” She tucked herself deeper under the duvet but continued watching him.
Silence.
“Jinjing,” he called in a low voice as if testing if she was still awake.
“Yes?”
“You’ll start taking the pill a few days after your period?”
She felt shy to be discussing her period with him but still answered him. “Y-yes. I’ll follow the doctor’s recommendation.”
“Good. I can’t wait.”
Truth be told, she also couldn’t wait. If things went according to plan, she should be protected by the time of her sister’s wedding. Then a thought entered her mind. With both her and Lu Zihao’s anticipation, didn’t it feel like they would also have their own little honeymoon?
Her heart hammered inside her chest and she felt hotter. Oh no! She shouldn’t have allowed such a dangerous thought to enter her mind.
Erase, erase!!!
Fortunately, her misbehaving thoughts were interrupted by another question from Lu Zihao.
“Do you still want to go home?”
His question took a few seconds to register in her mind. And when it did, she hesitated. How should she reply? Would he think of her as a hard to please woman if she spoke her mind?
“Just tell me how you really feel,” he said.
“Uhm…yes. I still want to go home, Nikolai.”
“Why?”
She looked around the luxurious master bedroom. However, just like the rest of the penthouse, it felt empty and impersonal. The vast space and the cold atmosphere made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
“It’s…too big?”
He frowned.
“Uhm…it doesn’t feel like home, Nikolai. It’s like a hotel, I guess.”
“What about Dragon Palace? It’s bigger than this. You don’t feel at home there? Do you also feel like it’s a hotel?”
His questions made her think. She shook her head. “I’m okay at Dragon Palace.”
“Heh~”
She squirmed under his gaze.
Finally, he released a long sigh before saying, “Fine. We’ll return to your condo tomorrow.”
Her heart jumped. She felt happy inside but also guilty. “Nikolai, I’m fine, really. You said that we’ll only stay here for a few days at most. I don’t want you to get tired travelling every night from your work here only to come back to my place. You’ll be too exhausted, especially right now that you’re still lethargic.”
“Let’s talk about this again tomorrow. It’s late. Go to sleep now.”
She paused but nodded. “Good night, Nikolai.”
“Good night, Jinjing.”
She must be more tired than she thought because as soon as she closed her eyes, she immediately fell asleep. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces).

Lu Zihao looked at the sleeping Long Jinjing and at his half-solid erection. With a deep sigh, he headed to his big but mostly empty walk-in closet and put on a pair of boxers and pyjama pants.
He had now learned that he couldn’t trust the self-control that he was always so proud of when it came to Long Jinjing. If he climbed on the bed n.a.k.e.d, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t be tempted to wake her up and f.u.c.k her even though she was on her period. Wearing some pyjama pants wouldn’t stop him from getting hard but it might at least deter him a bit and also act as a reminder to control his primal urges.
When he returned, he didn’t climb on the bed right away. He stood on the side and stared at Long Jinjing. Her mouth was slightly open and very tempting.
‘Hey.’
He ignored the annoying shit speaking inside his mind.
‘I said hey, Nikolai! Dude, aren’t you going to thank me for helping you deal with your pretty girlfriend? If I didn’t suggest that you start acting a little nicer and gentler with her, I bet that she would’ve already kicked your hard balls and stomped out of this mausoleum-like place. Like my grandpa said earlier, she might always give in to you but you can’t always take and take and take! Everyone has their breaking point, even your angelic girlfriend. So don’t always act like an asshole—’
He clenched his jaw and glared at a random corner, imagining that he was glaring at the pest shooting his mouth off inside his mind.
‘Shut up, Lu Zihao.’
‘Che. What an ungrateful man! By the way, your pretty girlfriend said that she doesn’t want to be in a relationship with a liar but you lied to her.’ The remnant snickered. ‘Liar, liar, pants on fire~’
‘I said shut up!’
