She said he had aged.
Lu Jinwen did not have any concept of age, but he had definitely aged when he compared himself to her.
His vision was filled with this fresh, youthful face. Lu Jinwen’s deep, almond-shaped eyes wandered about her body lustily. “Don’t people say that men are responsible for earning money and supporting the family, and women are responsible for maintaining their beautiful looks? I’ve enough money for you to spend lavishly and you are as beautiful as a flower. Isn’t that very fair?”
“Oh.” Lin Xuanji raised her willowy eyebrows. “But I remember that I am able to earn money myself too.”
She was shockingly talented and was the mastermind creator behind the classic jewelry brand DHA. That year, Lin Xuanji was also earning a lot of money, and if she had not met him, she would have been rich herself.
Lu Jinwen smiled and his voice became even lower. “You are able to earn money. But I know how to… arrange flowers.”
Arrange… flowers?
Mm, very good. Lin Xuanji looked at him with narrowed eyes. He was indeed still the Lu Jinwen from her memory. Others turned into beasts when they removed their clothes, though this man was a beast even with his clothes on.
“Sir, Madam, the warm water and clothes have been prepared.”
“Understood. You may leave,” Lu Jinwen said indifferently.
“Yes, Sir.”
The servants retreated. Lu Jinwen gradually released Lin Xuanji and stroked her little face. “Let’s go take a bath to make ourselves smell nice, hm?”
Lin Xuanji slapped his palm away. She stared at him. “How many years have you not touched a woman? You like to be so touchy-feely?”
Lu Jinwen grasped her exquisite chin. Her delicate skin was irresistible to him, and he gave her an evil smile. “Whenever I see you, I can’t help but want to touch you. I can’t keep my hands to myself.”
Lin Xuanji rolled her eyes and entered the bathroom immediately.
The man was as incorrigible as ever.
…
The sound of the water gushing ensued. Lu Jinwen stood by the bed and slowly took off the expensive watch on his muscular wrist. He removed his black shirt and trousers and put on a set of black silk pajamas.
The sash around the waist of the pajamas was loosely tied, revealing half of his muscular chest. Lu Jinwen sat on the bed and his handsome back leaned indolently against the bed frame, with his long arm casually placed across the bed frame. His long fingers held a cigarette he was smoking.
As he took a puff, he raised his head and gradually puffed out some smoke. The cigarette smoke blurred his handsome face, and only his sharp almond-shaped eyes were riveted on the door to the bathroom.
It had already been a long time.
He had finished smoking half a pack of cigarettes.
Putting out the cigarette in his fingers in the ashtray, he got down from the bed and walked over to the bathroom door. He chuckled, them said in a low voice, “Darling, stop dilly-dallying, hm? I’ve already removed my clothes. Are you going to let me wait? If I’m not happy, I have ways for you to make me happy.”
He had just uttered these words when Lin Xuanji opened the door and exited the bathroom.
There was a faint fragrant smell coming out from the bathroom. Lin Xuanji had changed into a red dress and her long hair laid damply on her shoulders. She exited the bathroom like a beauty out of the shower.
Lu Jinwen looked at her. His hands held her slender waist and pulled her into his embrace.
The passion and desire that had been suppressed for so many years was released in an instant. The blood coursing through his entire body was screaming at him to kiss and hold her.
Frantic palms grabbed the back of her head and he forcefully captured her crimson red lips.
He kissed her vigorously. His soft lips smashed against her lips maniacally.
Soon after, his long tongue entered her mouth.
Lin Xuanji did not put up a fight and allowed his tongue to enter her mouth. But while he was entering, she forcefully bit down on the tip of his tongue.
Hiss.
Lu Jinwen groaned in pain because the woman had bitten down on him without mercy.
He opened his eyes. His bloodshot eyes met the woman’s pristine eyes. She looked at him coldly, and her eyes were devoid of any warmth.
It was as if a tub of cold water had drenched him from head to toe and extinguished all his passion. In the next instant, his blood was increasingly throbbing with desire again. Did she know that she was so mesmerizing like this? It made him yearn to conquer and plunder her.
He grasped her exquisite cheeks forcefully. The woman’s skin was so tender that red marks promptly appeared from the force that he exacted.
Lin Xuanji opened her mouth from that tremendous pain.
Lu Jinwen let out a low laugh and he licked his thin lips with his bloodied tongue. “Don’t blame me for not warning you. If you dare to bite me again, I will order someone to cut off your son’s tongue. Anyway… he’s a dumb mute who can’t speak.”
He emphasized the word “dumb”.
Lin Xuanji immediately raised her hand and slapped him.
The crisp sound of the slap reverberated around the bamboo hut. Lu Jinwen’s handsome face had been slapped.
The tension in the room had become solemn and oppressive.
The pain and hurt from all these years had been frozen in a distant place, but time did not enable one to forget about it, and it was heart wrenching to revisit the pain.
Lu Jinwen gradually turned his handsome face around and he held her slender waist. He half-carried and half-pushed her onto the large bed.
Both of them rolled onto the bed. Lu Jinwen grasped her slender neck with some force.
He wanted to strangle her.
“When I dote on you, you can slap me countless times. When I don’t dote on you anymore, you’d better treat me with respect.” His voice was extremely menacing, as if it was forced from his throat.
He was grasping Lin Xuanji’s neck. It would be easy for him to kill her.
Lin Xuanji did not plead for mercy. Her face was already bright red. She looked at him and laughed coldly. “Lu Jinwen, strangle me to death if you have the ability. But only if you can bear to do so.”
Only if you can bear to do so.
These words seemed to taught him and agitated Lu Jinwen till his eyes became bloodshot. The man’s handsome eyes became frosty, which made one fearful.
But not Lin Xuanji.
The woman under his hands was almost out of breath, but refused to give in. He promptly retracted his large palms from her delicate neck.
Lin Xuanji gasped and sucked in ragged breaths of fresh air. She laid on the bed and coughed violently.
At this moment, the man came up to her from behind. He buried his head deeply into her silky hair and muttered. “Darling, of course I can’t bear to. You smell too good.”
With that, he started to kiss her face.
Lin Xuanji was unwilling to be kissed. She struggled for a while, but the man’s long fingers pressed on her shoulder and placed her onto the soft bed.
“Shh, don’t speak. Listen and see if there’s any sound outside.” Lu Jinwen smiled sinisterly.
Lin Xuanji cocked her ear and listened. There was a flurry of footsteps outside and Butler Ye’s respectful voice came through the door. “Sir, I’ve already brought Young Master Tang over.”
Lin Xuanji’s eyes narrowed. He had really brought Tang Chenyi over. This bastard.
“Lu Jinwen… Ah!”
Her vision went black and Lu Jinwen captured her red lips forcefully.
