Chapter 719: Right Now, in Your Eyes, There is Me
In the end, Mo Jingshen had to bring Ji Nuan out of the pool.
She had hidden intentionally underwater and held onto her breath for too long, causing her head to ache. When she tried to climb out of the pool, she swayed a little and directly felt back in. This time, she did not hold her breath and immediately choked on a mouthful of water.
Thankfully, Mo Jingshen’s eyes were sharp and he quickly brought her out of the pool. However, Ji Nuan still had to lean against his arm and cough several times against the floor. The sensation was painful, and the force of her coughs could be felt sharply against her chest. A hammering pain immediately began in her head.
Mo Jingshen was worried that there would be problems with her recovery. He brought over a towel from one of the deck chairs and wrapped it around her. He also helped her to wipe her face dry. He then lowered his eyes to check her complexion: “Are you all right? You choked so badly and coughed so heavily. Is your head hurting?”
Ji Nuan nodded but before she could speak, the man decisively lifted her up. As Ji Nuan’s feet left the ground, she keenly felt the man’s concern for her.
A mischievous thought came to her mind and she suddenly reached her hands up and pawed against his chest. She whispered softly: “Shenshen…”
Mo Jingshen’s arms instantly stiffened. Ji Nuan could clearly sense the change in the man’s body and the change in the pressure of the air.
How deeply did he fear that the return of her consciousness would be a short-lived occurrence? He had to be terrified that she would revert to that dazed state; unable to even fight back when she was bullied.
They had been through all sorts of danger, life, death and disaster, and they had walked out of those experiences step by step.
Ji Nuan suddenly felt that she had gone too far.
In the days after her accident, all of the things that Mo Jingshen had to bear, and the things he shouldn’t have had to bear, he had endured through it all. He kept her well-protected by his side and did not leave her alone for even a moment.
It seemed like she had really crossed the line by making a joke about her own health at this moment.
Ji Nuan quietly lifted her head to check the man’s expression. She tugged against his shirt, and as the man felt that her movements were similar to her spoiled ways from a few days ago, he lowered his head only to see Ji Nuan smiling with bright eyes. “I was only joking…”
The man clearly did not find it funny at all. He did not smile and only lowered his eyes to see her bare shoulders, her swimsuit and her half-damp hair. He was expressionless. “Joking?”
Ji Nuan pursed her lips to say: “Earlier, when you brought me out of the pool, you tossed all of the roses meant for me into the pool. Can’t I crack a small joke to relieve my feelings of regret?”
“Didn’t you say that you don’t want them?”
“I didn’t say that.”
“En, I’ll compensate you on your birthday tomorrow.”
Earlier, Ji Nuan had really developed a headache from coughing. She did not say more and leaned her head heavily against his shoulder. She allowed him to carry her as he pleased and lazily responded with an ‘oh.’
The man brought her to leave the pool area and returned to the hotel. After entering the doors, Ji Nuan got ready to leave his arms.
In the end, the man directly kicked the door open. Instead of placing her down, Ji Nuan felt that the man’s grip around her waist was tightening. She was then tossed onto the couch. Although her back knocked against the sofa, it did not hurt. At the same moment, she was directly pressed down.
She raised her head in panic but her action only welcomed the man’s lips.
Mo Jingshen kissed harshly and intimately. He bit her softly and explored her thoroughly. As she began to gasp for breath, he took the opportunity and forced her teeth apart, invading her lips without any restrain. He took possession of her lips thoroughly and lovingly.
Originally, because she had only just regained consciousness and her body could not take much, he did not plan on doing anything to her.
But she sure had the ability to provoke him.
“Joking, en?” The man intertwined their tongues intimately before releasing her. He pressed against her lips to whisper with his husky, heavy voice.
Ji Nuan could hear the danger in his tone and felt that all of her senses were drowned in his presence. His breath and taste seemed to be sinking into her skin, leaving her completely incapable of resisting.
Ji Nuan finally realised that, after the man carried her through the door, he had revealed himself to be a beast who had suppressed himself for too long. He had given into her and tolerated her over and over again, doting on her and protecting her. Yet in the end, he was still provoked by her. He had completely given up and was now fully acting on his desires with no restraint whatsoever.
It was true that he had endured for a long time. Ever since that one incident, he had promised not to mess around without her consent. Afterward, they were separated for a period before going through a disaster of life and death, followed by a dazed dream. He could not bear to frighten her and was constantly worried about agitating her. Every second was filled with tolerance; even when this little woman had dazedly climbed on his body over and over again, and questioned innocently about the ways a married couple slept together, he still endured it all.
But this woman was truly courageous, causing him to completely give up his intentions of letting her off. The built-up desire and longing destroyed his restrain, and the effect of that was frightening.
In fact, from the moment Ji Nuan had been pushed down, she had keenly felt his lower body’s reaction pressing against her.
She gasped and called his name with a voice like that of a weak kitten: “Mo Jingshen…”
The man’s voice was husky and unbelievably seductive. “En?”
“I’ve only just recovered and you’re being so shameless. Can’t you endure for a little while longer?”
Her delicate and innocent voice provoked the man even further. He chuckled softly and huskily. “I haven’t been tolerating? Haven’t I tolerated it for long enough?”
“Then previously, when I kept climbing on you, why didn’t you take the opportunity to do anything? I was taking so much initiative at the time.”
The man chuckled softly. “Qin Siting said that you had the mindset of a ten year old. At the time, your gaze was far too innocent. I’m not a pedophile. I really couldn’t bring myself to do anything.”
Ji Nuan: “…”
Her cheeks turned redder and burned heavily/ “Then right now, what has the knowledge of the world done to my gaze? Do I not appear innocent right now? If I wasn’t innocent, I would have stayed in London until I died and never returned to Hai City.”
He sucked on her earlobe, causing her to whimper sensitively.
The man chuckled softly against her ear. “Right now, in your eyes, there is me.”
“You’re thinking too much. It’s just a reflection. I only went to swim yet you insisted on wandering around me. If you didn’t do that, would you be in my eyes?”
She sensed that the man’s actions were growing out of hand, and the unrestrained passion caused Ji Nuan’s ears to turn red: “Don’t…”
The man gripped her chin as he lowered his head to kiss her lips. He hoarsely replied: “It’s your twenty-fifth birthday tomorrow. I’m turning thirty soon. After wandering about for so long, and having more impossible experiences that anyone can possibly have, it’s time we built a warm, stable marriage. We should also have a child soon, Nuan Nuan.”
