CHAPTER 594: CHAPTER 594: CONTACT

When Xu Ke came out wrapped in a towel, Lin Mengyao was lying on the bed playing with a tablet. The voices of men and women were coming from the device, but Xu Ke couldn’t understand what they were saying. All he could see were Lin Mengyao’s long and well-proportioned legs, her shapely peach-like hips, and her flawless white back. Her pristine back had two protruding bones due to her posture, but instead of ruining its beauty, they added a touch of sensuality.

Xu Ke stopped drying his hair, casually tossing the towel onto the floor.

He climbed onto the bed, propping up his upper body and casting a shadow over Lin Mengyao. "Did you make sure the door is closed?" Xu Ke asked in a slightly husky voice.

This voice seemed like a feather, drilling straight into Lin Mengyao’s ear, making her earlobes tingle and her scalp tingle slightly.

Lin Mengyao’s ears burned as she nodded and quietly murmured a response.

"Did you miss me these days? I missed you a lot in Yunzhou." Seeing Lin Mengyao nod, he relaxed the pressure he was using to support his body, casually draping himself over her.

The contact of their skin made Xu Ke let out a satisfied sigh, and Lin Mengyao, who also missed Xu Ke, couldn’t remember what was playing on the tablet. All she was aware of was the heat emanating from his body.

Lin Mengyao’s eyes began to blur, and the room temperature seemed to rise, becoming rather scorching.

Sometime, unbeknownst to her, Xu Ke’s hand had found its way to the back of Lin Mengyao’s hand. Using his strength, he tightly interlaced his fingers with hers.

"What are you doing?" Lin Mengyao’s voice trembled slightly, her cheeks growing warm.

"What do you think I’m doing? I missed you. Didn’t you miss me?" Xu Ke’s voice whispered next to her ear, his hot breath brushing against her skin, making half her face numb.

Lin Mengyao bit her lower lip, staying silent.

"Why aren’t you speaking? Didn’t you miss me?" Xu Ke’s voice turned even huskier, his warm kisses landing gently on Lin Mengyao’s earlobe, causing her body to tremble slightly.

Xu Ke chuckled softly, making Lin Mengyao blush furiously. She turned her head, glaring at him in what she thought was a fierce manner.

"You really shouldn’t look at me like that. That look of yours is like a hook." Xu Ke’s smile only grew wider, even more unchecked.

As Xu Ke’s face disappeared from her sight, Lin Mengyao found it odd when suddenly a warm kiss landed on the back of her neck, trailing down and quickly reaching her butterfly hollows, where Xu Ke lingered extra long.

"What are you doing?" Lin Mengyao finally couldn’t hold back from asking.

Xu Ke didn’t answer, only breathing against her skin repeatedly, leaving Lin Mengyao feeling numb all over, her body so soft it seemed to turn to water, her slender waist lacking any strength.

Annoyed at her uncooperative body, Lin Mengyao bit her lip, just as she was about to speak, a soft, moist object lightly brushed over the tip of her shoulder. It was Xu Ke’s tongue.

One of Xu Ke’s hands released Lin Mengyao’s hand, his broad palm tracing down her body’s contours and soon reaching the hem of her dress. Like a nimble serpent, it slipped through a small opening in the hem.

Xu Ke’s lips continued to plant light kisses on her body here and there.

Finally finding something interesting to touch, Xu Ke laughed again, just to ensure Lin Mengyao heard him, he murmured by her ear, "Even though you don’t say it, I know you missed me. Your reaction told me everything."

Lin Mengyao’s mind went blank at Xu Ke’s words, everything inside her head turning into a void, leaving her clueless.

After what seemed like a long while, her sluggish mind finally reacted, her face turning beet red, those pretty, enchanting eyes welling up with unspeakable emotion, her pearly teeth biting down on her lower lip to suffocate any sound.

Yet Xu Ke wasn’t done teasing her, his mischievous hand slipped out of her collar and reached her lips, "Be good, let go, don’t bite it any longer, what if it bleeds?" Xu Ke softly coaxed, prying her lips gently with his fingers.

Lin Mengyao’s breaths gradually deepened, and yielding to Xu Ke’s wish, she relaxed her mouth.

"I’ve only been gone a few days, how come you’re so shy now?" Xu Ke asked with a tinge of curiosity in his tone, yet his hands didn’t pause for a moment.

"You’ve turned bad," Lin Mengyao managed through gritted teeth and a trembling voice.

"This is bad? I can be way worse." Xu Ke smirked mischievously, with a swift tug, removed the towel wrapped around his waist, pulling Lin Mengyao, who was barely maintaining her composure, into a whirlpool of waves, akin to rain pelting banana leaves.

In the living room, Tang Zhongwei was still chatting with Yu Xia. Housekeeper Zhao brought them some sweets, the adorable design irresistible to someone like Yu Xia.

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhao." Yu Xia said with a squinting smile at the Housekeeper.

Tang Zhongwei imitated Yu Xia and thanked him as well; Housekeeper Zhao nodded with a smile without saying anything, leaving the living room to the two young girls.

Tang Zhongwei wasn’t keen on speaking with Yu Xia, even though she was a grade older, she was a complete slacker with no interest in learning. Whatever Yu Xia said only made her headache worse, making her a step from stuffing treats into Yu Xia’s mouth to shut her up.

Yet, Yu Xia’s earlier threat still echoed in her ears, making her heed caution. Though Yu Xia seemed harmless, Tang Zhongwei knew better than to let her guard down.

Wait until I’m favored more in this household, then you’ll see how I deal with you! Tang Zhongwei thought to herself.

"Aren’t you going to try some? This mousse cake is delicious, sweet and tangy without being overbearing." Yu Xia said, scooping a bit into her mouth and noticing Tang Zhongwei wasn’t about to try any.

"I don’t like this stuff, it’ll make me fat." Tang Zhongwei dismissed, waving her hand.

"I’m a bit tired, so I won’t keep you. I’m heading upstairs to rest. Call me when it’s time to eat." Tang Zhongwei said, standing up from the couch.

"Alright." Yu Xia had no objections. She knew Tang Zhongwei disliked her, and just as well, she didn’t like Tang Zhongwei either. Reducing contact was a relief; she would never decline the opportunity.
