Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Falling in Love?
Squeezed tightly between two tall bodies, Wen Shu couldn’t move an inch.
The abs under her palm rose and fell with breathing, her waist was strongly held by Mious, and a gentle cool breath came from above her head.
Behind her, a masculine hard chest pressed tightly against her.
Heat brushed over her neck, the scorching body temperature penetrated through the thin fabric, making her back sweat.
How can anyone sleep like this!
Wen Shu closed her eyes tightly, almost on the verge of tears.
It wasn’t until late at night, staring at the snow-white curtain by the window, that she gradually felt sleepy.
Next morning.
Haunted by a nightmare of being entangled by an octopus all night, Wen Shu struggled to wake and found herself gazing into a pair of smiling, enigmatic green eyes.
"How did you sleep?"
Parched from the night, Mious’s deep voice was filled with alluring huskiness.
Wen Shu felt a tingling sensation in her ears, and her heart skipped a beat as she looked at his handsome face so close.
In her view, the stern face was softened by sunlight pouring from the window, making the sharp jawline gentler and the curve of his lips extremely tender.
Mious’s seductive thin lips moved, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Coming out of her daze, Wen Shu tried to get up, but her cheek was suddenly cupped by a large hand, and then a gentle softness like feathers landed lightly on her lips.
The gentle touch left a ticklish sensation.
Wen Shu froze in her breath, her hand resting awkwardly on Mious’s broad shoulder.
In her moment of hesitation, the green eyes before her flickered with delight, and his palm exerted a little more force, deepening the kiss.
Her lips were pressed with restraint, leaving Wen Shu tense, holding her breath and finding it hard to breathe.
In a daze, she slightly parted her lips, giving Mious an opportunity.
The entwined wetness sent soft tremors through her body like an electric shock, and tears welled up at the corners of her eyes.
"Mm—"
A soft moan echoed in the silence.
Startled by her strange sound, Wen Shu suddenly snapped back, her face burning like it might catch fire, hurriedly pushing Mious away with force.
Her heart galloped, as she stood covering her mouth, her legs going weak as she sank back onto the bed.
Looking at Mious, she finally realized the masculine figure also blushed furiously, his expression tense against the headboard.
The pair of intensely aggressive eyes was staring directly at her.
"Where’s Wu Xuan?"
Wen Shu parted her lips, surprised by the raspiness of her own voice.
Seeing the darkened eyes of the masculine figure opposite, she jumped off the bed in a few strides and walked into the bathroom, steps unsteady.
"I’ll go wash up first."
Watching her flushed ears pretending to be composed.
Mious bowed his head, fingers lightly touching his still-warm lips, and let out a joyous low chuckle.
In the bathroom, with cold water splashing her face, the heat on Wen Shu’s cheeks slowly dissipated.
Her tongue still tingled, she covered her face feeling a series of palpitations in her heart.
"I’m done for..."
So, is this what being in love feels like?
But she’s not just dating one person!
Stationed at the glass door front, Wen Shu hesitated, the mere thought of facing Mious alone made her face flush with disturbance.
Fortunately, during her internal strife, Wu Xuan finally returned.
"Ashu, let’s go have breakfast... Where’s Ashu?"
His enthusiastic voice paused for a few seconds, seemed to notice the messy bed, and irritably said, "Mious, what did you do to Ashu? I changed my mind, seven days is too long, household chores rotating daily!"
Just as Wen Shu pushed open the door, hearing his words, she froze completely.
So, while she slept, these two guys had already conspired, discussing who knows what.
"You two..."
She planned to demand answers.
But just as she began, Bai Yan’s voice came from outside the door, "Sister, can I come in?"
Swallowing her words, Wen Shu glanced at the tense-fighting masculine figures, turning to open the door.
As the door opened, Bai Yan’s handsome face froze for an instant, his sparkling eyes looking straight at her, "Sister, did you have breakfast?"
A clear and bright voice sweetly inquired.
Meeting his expectant gaze, Wen Shu felt her heart melt, lost in the endless calls of "sister."
She lifted her face slightly, touching Bai Yan’s soft hair top, "Not yet, but Wu Xuan is already prepared."
As she spoke, Wu Xuan and Mious had already arrived behind her, she arched her brows slightly and looked at the stunned Bai Yan, "But, we can eat together."
Her ears turning red, she grabbed the hands of the masculine figures heading downstairs.
Yet Bai Yan, still somewhat dazed, stood in place, recalling the gentle touch on the top of his head and the feminine figure with slightly curved red lips, his face gradually flushed.
In the brightly lit hall, Mious looked back at Bai Yan hurriedly trailing them, noticing his gaze fixed on Wen Shu, frowning slightly.
"Ashu."
Upon hearing Mious’s gentle call again, Wen Shu tightened her palm, responding dryly, "What?"
"Bai Yan, is he your half-brother?"
Mious lowered his voice, having heard that certain noble families tend to have some ridiculous affairs...
Wen Shu didn’t understand why he asked this.
She looked back at Bai Yan, seeing his look of affection toward her, she smiled at him and whispered, "Not half, he’s my full-brother, why ask out of the blue?"
Upon hearing her answer, the strange feeling in Mious’s heart dissipated slightly.
Afraid of overthinking things, which might affect their sibling relationship, he ambiguously replied, "Nothing, just thinking, apart from the eyes, you two share little similarity."
Wen Shu hadn’t paid attention until now; hearing him say so, she realized it seemed true.
"Maybe I resemble Bai Rong more and he favors our father?"
With that, they seated at the dining table, today fewer people were present, only Bai Qiao and her daughter and a few brothers.
After greeting, Wen Shu began to eat.
Few bites in, Bai Rong suddenly recalled something, smiling at her, "Ashu, City Lord Mansion is hosting a banquet tomorrow night, you don’t have dresses yet, perhaps head to the cloth shop in the city later and buy a few."
With her words, Bai Yan’s eyes brightened beside Wen Shu, volunteering eagerly, "I’ll accompany sister... and brothers-in-law to go!"
Seeing their close relationship, Bai Rong paused her gaze, nodding with a smile, "Alright..."
With that, she looked towards Bai Qiao mysteriously, "Qiaoqiao needs new clothes too, someone will come pick you up later."
Bai Qiao appeared puzzled, while Wen Shu faintly guessed.
Indeed, after breakfast, Lu Di’s tall figure slowly walked in.
He was meticulously dressed today, in an embroidered white suit with golden threads, his hair tidied at the back, revealing a sculpture-like perfect face.
That gentle and composed demeanor made Bai Rong beam with joy, eager for Bai Qiao to mate with him today.
She pulled Bai Qiao’s hand, "Lu Di, you must take good care of Qiaoqiao."
Hearing her clearly, Bai Qiao blushed, while Lu Di responded naturally and tenderly, "Don’t worry."
He gazed deeply at Bai Qiao, then suddenly remembered something, clapping towards the door, "Oh, I brought some gifts for everyone."
A group of men filed in, holding gift boxes, distributing them among the men in the hall.
"I prepared this separately for the ladies."
Lu Di took out two exquisite black gift boxes from his coat, handing one to Bai Qiao, then walked slowly towards Wen Shu.
Seeing him approach, Wu Xuan gave a hostile look.
But Lu Di stopped politely, his deep blue eyes sparking with a smile, "Wen Shu, a little present as our acquaintance, hope you’ll accept it."
