Chapter 1185: As Long as We’re Together (1/2)

Sometime earlier that night, a pissed off Lu Zihao was dragging an anxious Long Jinjing. The household staff and patrolling security including some from Shadow Winds gave the two of them a wide berth due to Lu Zihao's frightening aura. He looked like he was ready to mutilate someone with his bare hands. They didn't want to be the poor unlucky fools who got in his way and triggered the explosion of his anger by accident.

Long Jinjing was trying to make him slow down but he wouldn't listen. ”Ni—Zihao, I said stop! You're hurting me!”

He immediately stopped and examined her wrist which was now red from his tight hold. His scowl turned uglier. He rubbed her red skin, trying to soothe it. ”I didn't mean it. Does it still hurt?”

Her expression softened. ”A little bit but I'll be fine.”

”Hm.” He continued rubbing her wrist.

He wasn't exactly gentle but this was as gentle as Long Jinjing could expect from someone like him. She already felt happy inside. However, she was a little worried about the situation they left back at the lounge area.

”I think we should return to apologize to Grandpa Lu,” she suggested. ”It's not good to upset him. He's already at that age and our elder.”

Lu Zihao snorted. ”The old man will be fine.”

”But—”

”Jinjing.”

”Y-yes?”

His dark gaze pierced straight through her.  ”Don't let the old man introduce another man to you.”

She was about to reassure him that it wouldn't happen but stopped herself before she could do so. The delay in her reply made him scowl again. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

”Jinjing,” he growled.

She pouted and felt unhappy with his reaction. Although she liked his jealousy and possessiveness sometimes because it meant that he at least had feelings for her even if he didn't love her yet, she had reservations about him trying to control her own decisions. She wasn't the most assertive or confident person in the world but at least she liked making her own decisions and working on the future that she envisioned for herself.

Long Jinjing loved him, wanted to marry him, give birth to his children, and build a happy family with him together in the future, but that didn't mean that she liked him micromanaging her entire life, especially since he hadn't fallen in love with her yet.

”Grandpa Lu said that he would only introduce other men to me if my relationship with you doesn't work out in the end. He didn't say that he's going to introduce one to me now. Do you think that I'm a fickle woman who'll entertain another man while I'm with you? I know that it's difficult for you to trust people given your…uh, situation, but please trust me a little more. I love you so much. As long as we're together, I'll remain true to you.”

Lu Zihao didn't reply but his scowl disappeared replaced by an unreadable expression.

”Also, I think that Grandpa Lu has a point. Although I wish that you'll love me too and marry me, there's still a possibility that it won't work out between us. It only makes sense for us to find other lovers especially for me who's looking for a husband to marry and build a happy family together. Grandpa Lu is already being kind to offer to introduce me to other men when he's your grandfather and should be taking your side in case that we break up again. I'm sure that whoever he introduces to me will be a good man—”

She gasped when Lu Zihao grabbed her, almost lifting her up while his angry face loomed over her shocked face.

”Say that again! You'd accept the old man's offer?!”

Her eyes watered but anger also burst out of her. ”Yes, I would! What's wrong with that?!”

He didn't say anything else. He just lifted her up and started marching towards his bedroom. She yelped and wrapped her arms around his wide shoulders to keep her balance.

”What are you doing?! Let me down, you brute!”

”Stay still, woman, or I'll fuck you right here in the hallway.”

She immediately stopped making a ruckus, too embarrassed to get more attention from the surrounding people, and also worried that he might really fuck her in the hallway. However, she still felt angry at him so she pressed her mouth against his neck and bit him.

He hissed but didn't stop walking. He didn't scold her either.

She felt a little sorry so she stopped, licked the skin she bit, and allowed him to carry her until they reached his bedroom. He immediately locked the door and marched inside the room before tossing her to the bed. Before she could react, he was already on top of her and kissing her senseless until she forgot her own name.

Okay, it wasn't to that extent but close to it. She had already forgotten why she was mad at him in the first place. His tongue was like wet fire bathing her until she was boiling from the inside out.

Her instincts took over, directly kicking her conscious mind aside which once again plunged to amoeba level because of the man's blazing seduction.

Before she knew it, she was already naked from the waist up. He expertly removed her shirt and bra while she was overwhelmed by his kisses to think clearly. She only realized it when he was already sucking her nipples.

”Ah!” She threw her head back and held his head.

Then he stopped. She opened her eyes to check what was going on and was startled when he just hovered over her, staring at her face with his fierce eyes.

”N-nikolai…?”

”You're mine.”

The possessive words and tone made her heart skip a beat before thundering inside her chest. Hearing him say these words also made her wetter.
