Chapter 121: Is There a Reward?
Just hold me?
And not do anything else?
’Why does that sound so familiar?’
Lin Ruoxi had never been in a relationship, but she knew a thing or two.
Many of Lin Ruoxi’s friends had been in relationships, and some were even married. They had shared some rather private, intimate conversations with each other.
Lin Ruoxi had heard her friends say more than once that you could never trust a man’s words in bed.
Especially when he says he’ll "just hold you and not do anything else."
If you believed him, you’d be eaten clean!
’This big scoundrel, he really is up to no good!’
Lin Ruoxi glared at Cheng Yuan, her heart leaping into her throat!
"Cheng Yuan, don’t push your luck! We agreed you wouldn’t force me. We’ll let things happen naturally. When the mood is right, everything will fall into place."
Cheng Yuan’s big paws were less than ten centimeters from Lin Ruoxi’s slender waist. Hearing her words, he slowly retracted his hands.
’Lin Ruoxi probably isn’t just trying to put me off,’ Cheng Yuan thought. ’After all, we already kissed.’
He had indeed been a bit too hasty.
When he was with Wang Shanshan, he hadn’t been this impatient. Each step had taken anywhere from a week to a month.
The main reason was that Lin Ruoxi was just too beautiful; he had no resistance against her whatsoever.
"Alright. I promise I won’t make a move."
Cheng Yuan quieted down. He made no further moves, but he didn’t get out from under the covers either.
Seeing Cheng Yuan actually stop, Lin Ruoxi felt a mix of emotions—part relief, part a tiny hint of regret.
’Honestly, I’m not sure if I rejected him just to be coy or because I’m really not ready.’
’If Cheng Yuan had just broken through my resistance and held me forcefully, maybe I would have just gone along with it?’
Lin Ruoxi was too sleepy. Her consciousness gradually faded, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Cheng Yuan was even drowsier and fell into a deep sleep in a second.
Lin Ruoxi was not a still sleeper; she often tossed and turned.
It was the same now. She suddenly turned over, her arm and leg landing on top of Cheng Yuan.
In a hazy, half-asleep state, Cheng Yuan vaguely felt himself hugging a human-sized pillow.
It was soft and warm.
It felt very comfortable to hold.
Cheng Yuan naturally didn’t hold back. He hugged the human-sized pillow tightly, inhaling the faint fragrance of her hair.
It was the first time Lin Ruoxi had slept so soundly. It was like being a child again, lying in her parents’ arms, filled with a sense of security.
Morning sunlight streamed into the bedroom. Lin Ruoxi’s eyelashes fluttered twice, and she subconsciously snuggled deeper into Cheng Yuan’s embrace.
The scent of youthful hormones wafted over. Lin Ruoxi slowly opened her eyes, and then her entire body froze!
She was clinging to Cheng Yuan like a koala, her cheek pressed tightly against his firm chest muscles.
The most embarrassing part was, because she was lying on her stomach, a little drool had escaped the corner of her mouth and dripped onto Cheng Yuan’s chest!
Lin Ruoxi was about to lose her mind!
’If Cheng Yuan finds out, he’ll definitely make fun of me!’
’Absolutely not!’
’My lifelong reputation can’t be ruined here!’
Lin Ruoxi gingerly moved the large hand Cheng Yuan had wrapped around her waist. Then, she raised her hand and carefully wiped the drool from his muscles.
’Thankfully, he didn’t wake up.’
’The drool is all gone!’
Just as Lin Ruoxi let out a sigh of relief, Cheng Yuan suddenly opened his eyes. His star-like gaze was fixed right on her.
"Ruoxi, if you’re interested in my body, you can feel it openly. No need to be so sneaky. I’ll definitely cooperate."
"Get over yourself!"
Lin Ruoxi’s face turned beet red. She grabbed the blanket and pressed it onto Cheng Yuan’s face!
Cheng Yuan grinned, pulled the blanket aside, and wrapped an arm around Lin Ruoxi’s slender waist. In one swift motion, he flipped over, pinning her heavily beneath him on the bed and looking down at her exquisitely beautiful face.
"Ruoxi, you’re so beautiful!"
With that, Cheng Yuan leaned down.
Startled, Lin Ruoxi instinctively raised her hand to press against Cheng Yuan’s chest. "Cheng Yuan, it’s getting late. Don’t be late for the first shoot."
"So if it were earlier, would it be okay?"
Cheng Yuan’s voice was intoxicating, his gaze lethal.
Lin Ruoxi felt her entire body go weak. The arm she had pressed against Cheng Yuan lost all its strength, turning limp.
Cheng Yuan keenly sensed Lin Ruoxi’s change and pressed forward without hesitation!
He successfully captured her delicate lips.
They had already kissed last night, but kissing his wife again still made Cheng Yuan incredibly excited!
’My wife is just too sweet!’
Cheng Yuan’s paw slipped inside, once again trying to undo the clasp.
This time, Cheng Yuan succeeded!
He smoothly undid the clasp!
Overjoyed, Cheng Yuan changed his target, preparing to continue his assault.
"Xiaoyuan, Ruoxi, hurry up and get out of bed! Don’t be late for the first shoot!"
Hua Yao’s voice suddenly cut through, startling Lin Ruoxi back to her senses.
Lin Ruoxi abruptly realized something was wrong. That big scoundrel, Cheng Yuan, had actually undone her clasp!
’What is he trying to do??’
’My friends were right! You absolutely can’t trust a man’s damned mouth in bed!’
Lin Ruoxi didn’t know where she found the strength, but she shoved Cheng Yuan away. "Cheng Yuan, you’ve gone too far!!"
With that, Lin Ruoxi leaped off the bed like a frightened rabbit, snatched her clothes, and dashed into the bathroom. In a flash, she was changed.
Lin Ruoxi had just acted a little angry, but now, a faint smile played on her lips.
’I guess I still have some charm, look how worked up I got Cheng Yuan.’
Lin Ruoxi returned to the bedroom. "Cheng Yuan, hurry up and get dressed. It’s the first shoot today, you need to be there to hold down the fort."
Cheng Yuan asked with interest, "Is there a reward if I go?"
Lin Ruoxi nodded slightly. "Of course, there’s a reward."
"A bigger reward than last night?" Cheng Yuan’s gaze was very aggressive.
Lin Ruoxi’s eyelid twitched violently. "It depends on how the first shoot goes. If it meets my expectations, I’ll give you a big reward. If it exceeds my expectations, the reward will exceed your expectations too."
"Then I have something to look forward to."
Cheng Yuan did a kip-up, getting nimbly out of bed and quickly getting dressed.
Lin Ruoxi looked at Cheng Yuan’s clothes and couldn’t help but shake her head. Today’s shoot was very formal; his casual wear wouldn’t do.
"When I was out shopping a few days ago, I happened to buy you a few suits. Go on, try them on."
With that, Lin Ruoxi opened the closet and pulled out several suits.
Lin Ruoxi made it sound casual, but in reality, buying them had been anything but. She had run to more than a dozen stores before finally choosing the outfits.
Cheng Yuan was stunned for a moment. This was the first time a girl had ever given him a gift!
He and Wang Shanshan had been together for so long, yet Wang Shanshan had never bought him a single thing. But Lin Ruoxi? They had only known each other for a few days, and she had already bought him several suits.
This moved Cheng Yuan, and a warm feeling spread through his heart.
It had to be said, Lin Ruoxi had excellent taste. After changing into the suit, Cheng Yuan’s looks and aura improved by several degrees. He looked much more mature, no longer like a kid from a poor family, but like a member of the social elite.
