"A Sure Win?"
Lin Ran: "I must have been blind before, like Shakespeare without the 'shay,' to have overlooked such a beautiful woman right in front of me. Now that my vision has returned, I want to look at you more, to gaze at you for a lifetime!"
"But I deeply regret it!"
The first part of Lin Ran's words stirred Luo Yao's heart, while the last statement left her feeling uncertain.
What regrets? Regretting giving herself to him yesterday?
Lin Ran felt the air around him suddenly grow colder, and his heart jolted.
Why the sudden anger? Could it be...?
Lin Ran: "I deeply regret not appreciating your beauty before. I truly deserve to die!"
Indeed, Luo Yao's icy aura dissipated, and the curve of her lips grew more pronounced.
Uncle Fu's pupils dilated.
Lin Ran is... speaking sweet words?
My word! Miss hasn't smiled like that in ages.
Lin Ran's words made Luo Yao tremble, and a drop of soup slid down her lip. She naturally reached up to wipe it, only to collide with Lin Ran's hand as he reached over to do the same.
Even though they had shared the most intimate of moments, both were momentarily stunned, their hearts racing as Luo Yao's soup droplet slowly descended and fell, evoking fanciful thoughts.
Lin Ran retracted his hand, flustered.
"Sorry! I just wanted to help you wipe it!"
Luo Yao: "Feed me!"
Lin Ran: "Huh?"
Luo Yao: "Feed me dinner!"
Lin Ran gazed at Luo Yao's delicate, crimson lips and swallowed hard.
"Alright!"
Lin Ran scooped a spoonful of soup from his own bowl and gently brought it to Luo Yao's lips.
Uncle Fu's heart skipped a beat.
He knew Luo Yao had a severe case of germophobia and loathed men, yet Lin Ran was feeding her soup with his own spoon?
He swiftly took out his phone and sent a message: [Prepare a crystal coffin]
Then, he witnessed his mistress open her mouth and drink, as if even licking the spoon slightly.
Hmm! Must be a figment of my imagination.
Luo Yao's calm voice echoed: "Uncle Fu, are you planning to join us for our candlelit dinner?"
Uncle Fu's spine chilled instantly as he hastily shook his head, motioning everyone to leave. He too exited, taking out his phone again to send another message: [Cancel the coffin order].
Watching Luo Yao's lips glisten, Lin Ran tenderly continued feeding her.
This feeling filled Luo Yao with satisfaction, drawing her deeper into the moment.
Ran, are you really not deceiving me?
Even if you are, I'll take it.
Luo Yao had no appetite for food, yet this was Lin Ran's cooking, so she wanted to taste it all, to eat as much as possible.
For someone who usually detested eating, this was truly a first.
The meal dragged on for a long time, from the dining room to the bedroom.
Just as Luo Yao straddled Lin Ran, his phone rang, displaying the note:
[Goddess]
Damn! I must have missed blocking this witch earlier.
Luo Yao naturally saw the screen, and the temperature in the room plummeted by eight degrees.
Lin Ran calmly ended the call, ready to kiss Luo Yao when the phone rang again. Just as he prepared to hang up and power off, Luo Yao commanded:
"Answer it!"
A thousand wild horses galloped through Lin Ran's heart.
Liu Ruxue, you'd better behave and not say anything to upset my wife.
He picked up the call.
"Lin Ran brother! Where are you?"
Before Lin Ran could speak, Luo Yao's dominating presence pressed in.
"I'm with... mmm! Mmm?"
Liu Ruxue: ??? What is that sound?
"Lin Ran brother, speak up! Are you alright? Who was the woman who took you away that day?"
Before Lin Ran could curse, Luo Yao posed a slightly challenging query.
"Ran, who is the woman you love the most?"
"You... I only love you!"
In response, different sounds of pleasure filled the air, sounds Liu Ruxue was all too familiar with, spurring her urgency.
"Lin Ran, what are you doing? Why do I hear a woman's voice near you!"
With both 'rabbits' nearly suffocating him, Lin Ran was about to lose it, pushing Luo Yao away, an action that almost triggered her explosive temper.
"I'm with my wife! You better scram if you've got nothing, and go die if you have anything to say!"
His words were immediately followed by Luo Yao engulfing him once more, emitting even more piercing sounds.
Sounds of delight, of challenge, and of disdain.
Liu Ruxue couldn't bear it.
"Lin Ran, I didn't expect you to be such a person. I misjudged you. You've utterly disappointed me, waaah!"
And with that, she hung up.
Luo Yao smiled, an expression Lin Ran had never seen before.
Ethereal? Mocking? Bitter?
Time passed.
Lin Ran experienced the most genuine Luo Yao.
He cursed himself for his past blindness and stupidity.
So what was it that he truly desired?
...
"Luo Yao! One day, I fear I might die here. Can we perhaps... exercise some restraint?"
In her previous life, Luo Yao always held the upper hand. Who would have thought that this life would follow the same pattern?
After all, he was the man, wasn't he?
Luo Yao was satisfied with how Lin Ran had treated Liu Ruxue today.
"Crazy? But I simply can't help it. It feels like only by merging completely do you truly become mine. If you were to die beneath me, I would unhesitatingly follow you into death. In the afterlife, you'd still be mine!"
Lin Ran remained silent, well aware that Luo Yao would indeed go that far.
What was so special about him? Why had Luo Yao taken a liking to him specifically?
"Ran! I'm scared! I fear you might turn and leave me tomorrow!"
"So! Even if you are deceiving me... can you keep the lie going?"
Lin Ran's heart ached.
Even if Luo Yao believes me to be lying, she still desires this. What kind of twisted love is this?
Even if it's fake, I cherish it more than pearls.
However, Lin Ran was gradually growing fond of this sensation. He could even say that after just two nights since his rebirth, he was already becoming addicted.
"Luo Yao! Whether you believe it or not, I'll always be by your side, loving and protecting you!"
"We'll continue like this, trust me... okay?"
Tears glimmered in Luo Yao's eyes, but she knew she couldn't cry.
In this world, everyone can cry, but not her.
To cry would be to reveal her vulnerability; once vulnerable, she'd be trampled upon.
She had to be the strongest Luo Yao, only then could she protect her Ran.
If Ran tires of her, leaves her, then she'd turn him into a specimen or burn him to ash and devour it, to be together forever.
Delirious thoughts permeated.
Lin Ran was utterly overwhelmed.
