927 Sober
Yang Ming brought back a tipsy Yao Ran to their room. He didn’t rush. After all, this wasn’t his style at all. Slow and steady. That was his game.
He slowly placed Yao Ran on the bed, seeing her curl up right on the mattress. His lips twitched.
“I’ll take a shower first.”
Yao Ran lay on the soft comfortable bed. While she appeared intoxicated, her mind was clear. Her gaze was trained on the doorway. She had the chance to leave. She did. However, she didn’t want to. The cold wind was far too tempting to decline.
When Yang Ming came from the bathroom and saw that the young woman was still on the bed, his eyes gleamed in satisfaction. He didn’t want to force her to do anything she didn’t want to, after all.
As he slipped an arm around her waist, he lifted her toward the bathroom.
“Since you’ve made up your mind,” he whispered, and she shivered. “Why don’t we take a shower together?”
Yang Ming watched the young woman as she took off her clothes. Her milky white body shone under the artificial light. She was beautiful. The moist heat enveloped her skin like a jacket as she avoided his hungry gaze.
Her cheeks were flushed.
He swallowed.
Unable to take it anymore, he stepped forward and took her into a kiss. His hand slowly slid down to her breast while the other pulled her closer to him.
Yao Ran groaned under his touch as his skin graze against hers. Despite the cold shower, the heat between them gradually rose as they felt their lustful needs. Moans filled the air as they shared their kiss.
Weird sensations began to course through her veins.
Her eyes were dazed and her cheeks were flushed. Anyone wouldn’t be able to help to fall in love with her.
“Yang Ming,” she moaned out as she wrapped her legs around his waist.
Yang Ming didn’t even hesitate as he brought her back to her bed.
The moment he entered her, everything was bliss.
There was slight pain, but all she needed to think about was Cheng Zhou. The tall man flashed across her mind, and she felt herself softening under Yang Ming’s hold.
She took a deep breath.
Tears slowly ran down her cheeks.
But he was quick to kiss them away.
Finally, pleasure came, drowning out all her thoughts.
This was her choice now. She wouldn’t change it for the world.
Once everything was over, Yang Ming held her close.
While he didn’t feel anything for Yao Ran, he was willing to keep her around for this.
Their relationship appeared to be quite beneficial.
There was silence before Yao Ran slipped out of his grip. “I should go home,” she suddenly said. “Otherwise, my parents would ask about us.”
Interesting. Many women would stick with him, yet she wanted to leave.
“Alright, I’ll send you back.”
“There’s no need. If you send me home, what will I say to my parents?”
Wasn’t she clamoring to be engaged to him back then? Now that they’d finally had sex, she wanted to draw a clear line. Yang Ming furrowed his eyebrows before he smiled.
So, she wanted to play hard to get? Fine. He could do that.
“Alright, I’ll get the driver to send you.”
“But—”
“The driver’s new, so your parents wouldn’t be able to recognize him. I’ll send him to pick you up again in the future. Besides, I’ll get worried.”
Yang Ming poked her nose affectionately.
“You’re not allowed to refuse again!”
Yao Ran slowly nodded.
“You’re getting engaged to her in a few days right?” Yao Ran didn’t bother to say the woman’s name, and it made him sit up.
“Yeah, but—”
“No need to explain, I’m just asking.” Yao ran smiled and got out of bed to get dressed.
Yang Ming furrowed his eyebrows.
He just couldn’t read her, but he certainly wasn’t going to ruin things now. He stood up and wrapped his arms around her waist.
“Baby, don’t worry. No one can replace your place in my heart.”
“Yes, of course, I believe you. Brother Ming is the best to me!” Yao ran replied meekly.
The two of them couldn’t see each other’s faces, but if the light were turned on, they’d both know how unaffected they were by each other’s words.
