Chapter 459: Aren’t You Afraid I’ll Eat Her?
Jiang Xinghai's embrace was passionate and deep, as if a torrent of long-suppressed emotions was being unleashed all at once.
A potent, hormonal scent filled the air, seeming to shroud the world in a thick haze of passion.
Under the moonlight, the two were like dry tinder and a burning flame, instantly clinging to each other, inseparable.
Lin Liping's hands hooked around Jiang Xinghai's neck, her body pressed tightly against his.
Jiang Xinghai held Lin Liping in his arms, unconsciously walking toward the house.
"Liping, I've missed you!"
Jiang Xinghai buried his stubbled face in Lin Liping's shoulder. He reluctantly pulled away from her lips, wanting to undress her.
Lin Liping placed her hands on Jiang Xinghai's chest, stopping his hands from roaming further down.
"Xinghai, let's go inside!"
Lin Liping's pretty face was flushed, her eyes filled with passion.
"Okay!" Jiang Xinghai grinned.
He carried Lin Liping inside to the first floor.
The space was filled with various medicines, clearly a work area.
The two of them went up to the second floor!
"How have you been lately?"
Jiang Xinghai tilted his head to look at Lin Liping, their faces just inches apart.
His voice was low and gentle, the question like a delicate thread connecting their two hearts.
"Shouldn't we be moving on to the next step by now?" Lin Liping lowered her head shyly. Her hands slowly wrapped around Jiang Xinghai's waist, and she gently nuzzled her cheek against his shoulder.
How she'd been doing was obvious at a glance.
She felt such small talk was unnecessary.
"I'd like to take a shower first."
Jiang Xinghai tilted his head to look at Lin Liping. He grasped her shoulders, his unruly hands roaming over her back, caressing her gently.
"Go on. I'll warm the bed for you. Hurry back, okay?" Lin Liping said, her face blushing as she smiled.
It was a smile that seemed to radiate a special warmth, one that couldn't help but make one's heart flutter.
The scene made one's imagination run wild with what was about to happen.
Jiang Xinghai's throat bobbed as he swallowed hard. 'This waiting is torture,' he thought.
He quickly walked into the bathroom. Under the showerhead's spray, water droplets splashed everywhere...
When he returned to the bedroom, only a single, faint bedside lamp was flickering.
Lin Liping was lying flat under the covers. Beneath the sky-blue blanket, her body rose and fell—an exquisite, devilishly curvy figure that was utterly captivating.
She was like a tranquil lake, despite the churning undercurrents hidden beneath the surface.
Jiang Xinghai lightened his steps, as if afraid of shattering the tranquility of the room.
His gaze was captivated by her gorgeous body, which seemed to glow like a dancing flame in the dim light.
He leaned down and gently kissed her shoulder, which was as smooth as jade.
Lin Liping's beautiful eyes were filled with passion. She gently placed her hands on Jiang Xinghai's waist, her fingers winding around him.
The two had reached a silent understanding.
In that moment, their world contained only each other.
「The next morning.」
Sunlight streamed through a gap in the curtains, spilling over the two of them.
Jiang Xinghai's arm was wrapped tightly around Lin Liping. Their bodies were pressed close together, like two ardent stars illuminating each other in their own shared universe.
"Time to get up."
Lin Liping's hand gently caressed Jiang Xinghai's firm back, her fingers tracing the lines of his muscles, feeling his strength and warmth.
"I have something to take care of today, so I might not be back tonight."
Jiang Xinghai opened his eyes and hooked a finger under Lin Liping's chin.
He was going to meet with Leng Ning and Chuchu to talk about Black Cloak.
"Aren't you going to see Lulu first?"
Lin Liping let his finger toy with her chin. "She's been missing you a lot, you know. You should at least give her a call."
"Aren't you afraid I'll eat her up?" Jiang Xinghai teased.
"Actually, if you two were to get together, I wouldn't be against it," Lin Liping said with a serious expression.
"I..." Jiang Xinghai was at a loss for words.
Then, a silence fell between them.
After getting up and having breakfast, Jiang Xinghai left Jishan Hall.
In the end, he called Feng Lulu first.
"Xinghai, you're finally in the Provincial City!"
Feng Lulu was beyond excited to get Jiang Xinghai's call. "It's been three weeks! I've missed you to death."
"You mean you miss my acupuncture and massage, right?" Jiang Xinghai asked, the corner of his mouth lifting.
"You know you still owe me a breast... enhancement session," Feng Lulu said, her face turning slightly red.
"From how eager you sound, I'm guessing your body has already had a second round of development after the first two acupuncture and massage sessions?" Jiang Xinghai asked, sounding certain.
Feng Lulu said with a pleased expression, "You're right! Ever since you did the acupuncture and massage for me, I've felt warm every day, and now I'm almost a C-cup."
"A C-cup is plenty."
Jiang Xinghai couldn't help but picture Feng Lulu's perky figure.
"I just said I'm *close*. I'm not a C yet! You have to keep helping me. How about tonight? I... I'll get a room and wait for you. It's a date, okay?" Feng Lulu pouted.
Jiang Xinghai said seriously, "I remember you're about five-foot-five. A C-cup at that height would be a bit too sensational, not to mention unsafe."
