CHAPTER 102: CHAPTER 102: HE MUST HAVE PERFORMED WELL, OTHERWISE RUAN RUAN WOULDN’T HINT AT HIM

Hearing this answer, Lu Shinian was finally pleased and knocked the person unconscious.

Before passing out, Zhang Shan stared at Lu Shinian in horror. He truly hadn’t seen anything; is this guy a maniac?

Watching Zhang Shan faint, Lu Shinian called in a guard and ordered, "Take him away and have Vice Wang interrogate him thoroughly."

"Yes!" The guard quickly dragged Zhang Shan away for questioning.

Not long after, Lu Shinian returned to the bedroom.

Su Ruan was sleeping soundly, completely unaware of what Lu Shinian had been up to.

She rolled over, reaching out to the side, maybe feeling she hadn’t touched anything, she mumbled something.

Lu Shinian quietly walked over to listen carefully.

"Brother isn’t sleeping again." Her voice carried a hint of grievance.

Lu Shinian chuckled silently, lay down, pulled Su Ruan into his arms, and whispered into her ear, "Brother will sleep with Ruan Ruan now."

Today, Ruan Ruan must be really exhausted.

She didn’t even take off her clothes in the snow; how uncomfortable that must have been.

Lu Shinian’s eyes darkened slightly, holding Su Ruan tighter.

He wouldn’t expose that the Level 1 Energy Stone auctioned at the Galaxy Auction was just an ordinary stone; he and the Second Master had the same purpose.

To lure out the person in the Second World who can reduce the impurities in Energy Stones.

Su Ruan woke up, just in time for it to be 9 PM.

The lantern festival had just begun not long ago, and now was the liveliest time for them to go.

Su Ruan had never seen a lantern festival before; it was said that the leaders of the Star River Star put a lot of effort into researching ancient culture for this sacrificial lantern festival, and these lanterns were all handmade by specialists, incredibly beautiful.

The two moved through the crowd, surrounded by dim or bright ancient lanterns, the crowd bustling, yet all they could hear were each other’s voices.

Su Ruan seemed a bit excited, a faint smile gracing her brows and eyes, her stunning pupils holding a starlight that made Lu Shinian’s throat tighten, his grip on her hand slightly firming.

"Ruan Ruan." He lowered his voice, wrapping his large hand around her slender waist, his thumb gently rubbing the soft flesh there, "Don’t tease me outside, okay?"

Su Ruan: ???

She looked at him somewhat innocently.

"I wasn’t teasing you." When she meant to seduce him, it wouldn’t be like this.

But she thought his suggestion wasn’t bad. Su Ruan beamed at the thought, leaning towards his side a bit, her pink-tinted fingertip drawing a circle on his chest, softly saying, "I just want brother to carry me."

Lu Shinian’s long eyelashes lowered, dark desire surging in the depths of his eyes, two seconds later, he released his hand, took a step forward, and crouched down halfway.

"Get on."

Su Ruan leapt onto him, wrapping her arms around Lu Shinian’s neck, almost pressing against his ear, "Brother is so nice."

The warm breath caressed the root of his ear, with her scent enveloping his nose, making Lu Shinian irresistibly, greedily want a bit more.

His large hand slid under her knees, feeling through the thin fabric as if touching her skin, warm.

Lu Shinian stood up, taking long strides forward.

His back was straight, every step exceptionally determined.

Su Ruan leaned against his shoulder, her long lashes trembling slightly, that broad back giving an unspeakable sense of security.

Countless midnight dreams, she yearned for his embrace, longed to be close to him.

But every time she awoke, it was only emptiness.

Dreams happened too often, and waking up so many times, gradually she started to doubt.

Was everything she saw before her real?

Su Ruan lightly pressed her lips together, leaned in, her lips gently landing on the root of his ear, whispering, "Does brother want to kiss me?"

Lu Shinian’s step paused.

"Does Ruan Ruan know what she’s saying?"

His voice carried a hoarse, slightly greedy restraint.

Su Ruan smiled, "I know."

She pointed at the wishful tree ahead, hanging with many people’s wish plaques, "Do you want to kiss me there?"

Lu Shinian quickened his steps, walking swiftly to that big tree, setting Su Ruan down, pinning her against it.

Without waiting for her to say anything, he lowered his head, capturing her lips.

Dominant and passionate, with his unique aggression and intense possessiveness.

Su Ruan’s small hand clutched at Lu Shinian’s shirt, her fingertips tightened, breaths slightly panting.

The breeze stirred, the wish plaques above their heads clattered, masking the sound of their heavier breathing.

The wind stopped, and so did the kiss.

Su Ruan tilted her head up, her eyes showing a faint tinge of red.

"Shall we go back?" she said softly, her ears faintly tinged with a blush.

Lu Shinian’s pupils reflected Su Ruan’s figure, two seconds later, he raised his hand, gently stroking her hair, his voice hoarse.

"Want to walk around a bit more?"

Su Ruan’s eyes widened slightly, had he not picked up on her hint?

"I mean, should we go back to sleep?" Had she made it clear enough?

"It’s still early." Lu Shinian tidied Su Ruan’s slightly disheveled hair, "Let’s walk around a bit more."

Su Ruan: ...

She exhaled in a deflated manner, "Alright."

She adjusted her clothing, looked up at the wish plaques hanging on the tree, her eyes brightening, suggesting, "Since we’re here, should I buy a wish plaque, and we hang one too?"

"Okay." Lu Shinian replied.

Su Ruan nodded excitedly, "I’ll go buy the wish plaques then."

She said, running over to buy the wish plaques.

Lu Shinian watched her back, his eyes darkening further.

He certainly understood Ruan Ruan’s meaning, but today she was truly exhausted; he shouldn’t be so excessive as to do it again.

The snow was so cold, he wondered if his Ruan Ruan felt uncomfortable.

But she seemed okay, otherwise, Ruan Ruan wouldn’t have hinted like that.

Lu Shinian’s thoughts drifted afar, while Su Ruan had already bought two wish plaques and returned.

"The seller said just silently make a wish holding the wish plaque, and it will come true."

Su Ruan handed Lu Shinian a wish plaque, "One for each of us."

She clasped her hands together, placing the wish plaque in her palm, closing her eyes to make a wish silently.

Lu Shinian looked at the wish plaque in his hand, his fingertip tapping lightly on it, his eyes flickering with a dark light.

After a minute, Su Ruan opened her eyes, hung the wish plaque on the tree, and turned to look at Lu Shinian, "Brother, did you make your wish?"

"Yes." Lu Shinian casually hung his wish plaque on the tree, taking Su Ruan’s hand, "Wish made."

Su Ruan followed him out, with a hint of curiosity asking, "What did you wish for?"

Lu Shinian glanced down at her, "What about Ruan Ruan?"

"Can’t tell." Su Ruan said with a bright smile, "If I say it, it won’t come true."

Lu Shinian chuckled softly, "And yet you ask me? Hmm?"

"Little mischief."

Just as those words fell, Su Ruan stared ahead, her expression slightly stunned.
