He finally turned her around and held her in his arms. He pinched her chin and bit her soft lips hard.
“You really… dare to say anything?”
Ning Li cried out in pain.
‘Without him restraining her, her hands were finally free.
She raised her hand to cover her mouth and murmured, feeling wronged.
“It hurts.
It was just a question. Why was he angry all of a sudden?
Lu Huaiyu did not pay attention to her, lifting her into his arms instead.
He could not settle this score anymore.
If he continued to be calculative, he really did not know what he could do anymore.
Ning Li was relieved because she did not have to face the mirror anymore.
She looked at his sharp and taut jawline and sensed that his aura seemed to be more dangerous than when she had entered the room.
She could not help but whisper, “Lu Huaiyu, why is your temper not as good as before?”
He had never been like this before.
‘When he hugged her, he was always gentle.
She did not know what had happened today…
Lu Huaiyu stopped in his tracks and grit his teeth.
He should not have let her drink that glass of red wine!
Ning Li did not hear his answer, nor was she in a hurry. She remained nestled in his arms and sniffed gently.
There was still a very nice smell of cedar, without any smell of smoke.
‘Well, although she did not actually hate it, she felt that the absence of the smell of smoke meant that he should be in a good mood.
That was good, she thought silently.
She liked all the smells on his body.
Lu Huaiyu was about to carry her back to the guest bedroom, but as he passed the door of the master bedroom, the front of his shirt was suddenly grabbed by her small hand.
“We’re here.”
She said.
Lu Huaiyu stopped in his tracks and lowered his head. He saw that she was looking at the door of the master bedroom.
He slowly exhaled.
He had almost forgotten that when she was drunk, she would treat the master bedroom as her territory.
He turned around and carried her into the master bedroom. He placed her on the soft bed and turned on the bedside lamp.
He looked at her still red feet and turned around to fetch some medicine and cotton swabs from the cabinet next to him.
He sat down by the bed.
Ning Li felt one side of her body sink into the mattress.
“Give me your feet.”
Lu Huaiyu said this, not expecting her to listen to him at all. He put his hand directly onto her ankle and started to apply the medicine for her.
Actually, it was not very serious, but her skin was delicate, and it looked especially painful.
His heart ached.
Ning Li leaned against the headboard of the bed and saw that he was treating her wound seriously with his head lowered.
It still hurt a little, so she cringed a little.
Lu Huaiyu paused.
“Be good and I’ll be gentle.”
As he said this, his movements became even gentler.
After applying the medicine, he released her and immediately wrapped the blanket around her body. He got up and helped her to get a set of pajamas which he placed beside her pillow.
“Change into your pajamas later. If you need help washing up, call me again.”
With that, he turned around to leave.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Ning Li panicked and immediately sat up straight.
“Lu Huaiyu, where are you going?”
Lu Huaiyu tugged at his tie, his entire body hot and uncomfortable.
She just had to ask.
“It’s nothing. It’s late, you should go to sleep.”
He could not be that close to her anymore.
‘When he spoke, he did not turn his head, afraid that the last vestiges of sanity left in him would easily collapse when he saw her current appearance.
However, in Ning Li’s eyes, this posture and tone meant something else.
She thought that he was still angry.
After Lu Huaiyu finished speaking, he moved to leave.
However, just as he took a step forward, her voice came from behind.
“Lu Huaiyu.”
He stood still and heard her voice with a hint of grievance.
“Please don’t scold me.”
Lu Huaiyu closed his eyes and sighed.
He did not hesitate at all. For the umpteenth time, he had easily changed his mind for her.
All she had to do was speak and he would never be able to resist, only capable of raising his flag to surrender.
He turned around and saw her kneeling on the bed, looking at him with her sparkling peach blossom eyes.
“Tm not angry at you.”
He walked over and stopped in front of her. He bent down slightly and said helplessly, “But you, can you stop torturing me please? Hmm?”
The tip of his tongue rested against his palate, and his voice was slightly hoarse.
“Your boyfriend is really going to be played to death by you.”
Ning Li did not say anything.
In the next moment, she held his hand and lowered her head slightly.
“Tm sorry.”
She admitted her mistake honestly. Her voice was very soft, but every word was very clear.
“Ljust… didn’t know how to tell you…”
Lu Huaiyu was slightly stunned.
It was not that he had not wanted to ask. It was not that he was indifferent.
After all, she had kept it from him for so long.
If she had not been photographed, she probably would not have appeared in the G&S show and revealed her identity.
After seeing the photo of her and George, he had spent a lot of time alone with his thoughts.
He remembered how close Yu Pingchuan was to her.
He remembered the time she had said that she was just helping someone to carry a painting.
He remembered the celebration banquet in Yunzhou. On the balcony, she and George had seemed to be having a good conversation.
It turned out that the signs had always been there, but he had never thought about it.
In fact, who would have thought that it would be her?
Seeing that she was drunk tonight, he had swallowed all of his questions but that did not mean that he wanted to give up.
However, he had not expected her to still be thinking about it.
“Ah Li”
He called out to her.
Ning Li raised her head, and the two of them looked at each other.
He held her right hand and asked softly, “Do you usually draw with this hand?”
Ning Li did not notice that he was talking about “drawing.” She just thought that he was referring to drawing those high-definition sketches.
She nodded.
Lu Huaiyu lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time. Eventually, the corners of his lips curved into a smile.
He put her hand to his lips and kissed her gently, moving very lightly and with great care.
After all the emotions had passed, only endless gratitude and joy were left.
It turned out that the person he had chased for so long, searched for so long, and talked about for so long, had always been her.
Ning Li was feeling a little tingly from his kiss, but he seemed to be in a much better mood.
She smiled and straightened up. Her other arm wrapped around his slim waist, and her forehead pressed lightly against his chest.
Lu Huaiyu thought of something and asked coaxingly, “Ah Li, is there anything else you haven’t told me?”
Ning Li was stunned.
Lu Huaiyu stepped back a little, held her hand, and looked into her eyes.
“Hmm?*
Ning Li frowned slightly, seeming to be in a dilemma.
After a moment, she nodded.
Lu Huaiyu’s heart moved slightly.
“What is it?”
Ning Li shook her head.
Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows slightly.
“You don’t want to tell me?”
Ning Li also seemed to think that this was not very good, and her small face scrunched up.
‘There was something very important that she still had not told him yet.
But…
“You… which one do you want to hear about?”
She asked bluntly.
Lu Huaiyu, ”
He had thought that she might not be willing to tell him. After all, she had her secrets and her own thoughts, so he had not forced her.
However, he had never thought that she would give such an answer.
Which one did he want to hear?
How much was she hiding from him?
Lu Huaiyu looked at her.
“Of course, it would be the most important one.”
Ning Li was stunned and did not speak for a long time.
Lu Huaiyu looked at her but did not have the heart to ask anymore.
He kissed the space between her eyebrows.
“If Ah Li wants to say it, then say it. If she doesn’t want to say it, then don’t say it.”
Ning Li suddenly pulled his hand.
He understood and leaned close to her ear. He asked with a smile, “Do you really want to say it?”
Ning Li seemed to be very nervous.
She leaned close to his ear, holding his hand with one hand and gently holding his shoulder with the other.
“Tlike you.”
Her voice was very soft, and her fingers tightened slightly because she was nervous.
“Lu Huaiyu, I have liked you for a long time..”
