1019 Perplexed and Smitten 79 (2/2)
”So what?” He was completely indifferent about it. ”Among the strong, there is always someone stronger. No matter how strong his backing is, there's always someone who's more powerful than him.”
”You seem rather fearless about it.”
”With you by my side, even if the sky drops, I'm not afraid.”
An Xiaoning's eyes twinkled with a sharp gleam. ”Because of these words from you, I decided to give you a reward of the same kind.”
”I request for the grand prize.”
”Your request is invalid, I have my own verdict.”
”So what is your verdict?”
”I'll award you with the grand prize.”
Jin Qingyan's grin grew wider. It was as if his words had been suddenly changed by her. Her reply was completely unexpected by him.
”You have to tell me though, what is the grand prize?”
”What is the grand prize that you want?”
”I want you…” His words were yet to be completed when Jin Qingyan took a glance at her before scanning around to watch the maids who were not far away. He then intentionally extended his leg under the table to hook around her slender legs. His voice lowered into almost a whisper as he continued, ”… to please me with your mouth.”
”You lecher! I knew you would say that.”
”Don't tell me the reward you wanted to give me isn't this?”
”Of course not.”
”Then, what is it?” Jin Qingyan did not understand what other grand prize she was possibly referring to.
”The grand prize for you is… do you still remember the first birthday gift I gave you?”
”I remember it clearly even now. Back then, we just got married. You gave me a branded watch and a letter, then it ended with a dance.”
”Then, after dinner later, shall I do a similar dance for you? Isn't it a very special reward?”
”You call this the grand prize?” Jin Qingyan suggested, ”An Xiaoning Comrade, I suggest you reward me with something more practical.”
”If you don't want that, then forget it. I'm too lazy to dance anyway.” She rolled her eyes at him, evidently dissatisfied with his reaction.
”I want, I want, I want it. Of course I do. But I need to say something in advance.” His eyes narrowed as he grinned. ”If your dance awakens the fiery dragon in me, I won't take responsibility for the consequences.”
She acknowledged his comment before continuing the pleasant dinner with him.
....
She was yet to finish her dance when she was forcefully thrown onto the bed by him. An Xiaoning crawled up and exclaimed, ”But I'm not yet done with my dance!”
He pressed his body against hers lightly, his hands roaming all over her body.
”What do you want?” she said, asking the obvious.
He asked with a smirk, ”You asked me if I want to have you? Of course I do! I think about it every day and night. I'm perplexed too, why don't I seem to ever get enough of you? You tell me, what enchantment have you cast on me that all I ever want is you?”
An Xiaoning's cheeks flushed instantly and she retorted, ”You're intentionally trying to coax me, right?”
He gazed at her, his body propped up over her upper body. Under the lights, she looked exceptionally beautiful to him.
”As long as you're happy, so what if I'm doing it intentionally or not?”
”I knew you were feeding me with sugar-coated words intentionally.”
”I wasn't finished speaking yet.” He hurriedly added, ”Moreover, I meant every word I said.”
She broke into a joyful grin and placed both her arms on his shoulders, raising her body slightly as she leaned in to kiss his lips. In Chinese, ”what do you want” sounds similar to ”do you want to have me.”
