Chapter 182 This kiss was more lingering than any before.
He casually tossed his phone aside and focused his attention back on the person in his arms.
He set the hairdryer to a gentle warm setting, ran his fingers through her soft hair, gently combed it, and slowly dried it.
His movements were incredibly gentle, and his gaze was as focused as if he were handling a rare treasure.
Nestled in his arms, enveloped by the warm breeze and his cool yet hot breath, Su Wan felt waves of drowsiness wash over her, almost causing her to fall into a deep sleep.
Only after the last strand of wet hair became dry and fluffy did he turn off the hairdryer, pick up his phone, and call back the missed call.
It's Xiao Zhou.
"Captain Lu... no, nothing. We just brought you some clothes earlier, but no one answered the door when we knocked, and you didn't answer the phone either... We guessed you were busy, so we left the clothes at Miss Su's door. Please remember to pick them up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhou hurriedly hung up the phone as if he were fleeing for his life.
Lu Chenyuan chuckled softly, his chest trembling slightly, and tightened his arms around her.
He kissed her on the forehead before getting up.
He walked to the door, opened it, and sure enough, there was a shopping bag outside containing his clothes.
He walked back carrying the bag and, in front of Su Wan, unabashedly untied the bath towel around his waist.
The smooth, defined waistline, the firm muscle lines, and the cool, powerful skin all struck her eyes without reservation.
Su Wan lay on the sofa, her breath suddenly caught in her throat, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
He calmly changed into black underwear, trousers, and a simple black T-shirt.
All his outfits were dark colors, which made his broad shoulders and narrow waist stand out. He had a tall and straight figure, cold and clean eyes, and a sharp jawline. He was instantly enveloped in a sense of aloofness that kept strangers away.
He was impeccably dressed and remained calm and composed.
He was a completely different person from the man who had just been breathing heavily in her ear, repeatedly asking her if she was comfortable.
It's clearly the same person, yet they have two extremely alluring appearances.
One is a passionate, untamed spirit; the other is a chilling, abstinent desire.
Su Wan felt a soreness in her bones and belatedly realized that she had really gone too far and acted recklessly.
They were just asking for trouble; they should have toned it down.
But as soon as her gaze fell on him, the thoughts she had just suppressed resurfaced uncontrollably, and she felt a ticklish sensation in her heart, wanting more.
Even though her body was clearly exhausted, her eyes betrayed her true feelings.
She beckoned to him with her finger, her voice soft and lazy, her lust unchanged.
"Lu Chenyuan..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Chenyuan had already stepped closer.
He bent down, supporting her hips firmly with one hand and wrapping his other arm around her back, pulling her back into his embrace with a slight pull. He lowered his head and kissed her slightly swollen lips without a word.
This kiss wasn't as passionate as the one before, but it was more lingering and captivating.
Gentle, yet assertive.
A moment later, he stepped back slightly, his forehead touching hers, his breath warm, his voice low and magnetic, with a knowing smile.
"It's really not going to work today."
"It's not that I can't do it, it's that you can't."
"Let me give you a kiss first, to calm you down."
"I know you can't help yourself the moment you see me."
"Shameless..."
Su Wan's face flushed, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to explode.
Why do you have to be so accurate?
She really can't hide anything.
Lu Chenyuan chuckled softly, his chest vibrating, carrying a reassuring quality.
He carried her back to the sofa, letting her nestle comfortably in his arms, his arms wrapped around her tightly.
"Are you hungry? Rest for a while, and I'll take you to get something to eat."
"Um."
Upon hearing the word "food," Su Wan immediately thought of the Chongqing hot pot she hadn't had for lunch.
To be honest, if she hadn't been so scared by that blind date that she ran away in a panic, she would have been craving it long ago.
The tender and crisp tripe, the piping hot and spicy broth—just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
Whatever was in his mind, he said it aloud.
"I want to eat hot pot."
"it is good."
Lu Chenyuan agreed almost immediately, without uttering a single word of objection, his eyes so tender they could melt water.
"Is there anything else you want to do? I'm on vacation these few days, I'll spend all of it with you."
"That's all, I just want to eat hot pot."
The mere mention of hot pot seemed to alleviate most of her body aches and pains.
She sat up slightly from his lap, reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, gently nuzzling his nose against his.
"It's better not to mention it, it makes me hungry. Let's go eat now, I can't wait."
"it is good."
Lu Chenyuan took out his phone and called Xiao Li.
"Is my car fixed yet?"
"Captain Lu, it won't be that quick yet, it might take another two days..."
"understood."
"Lend me your car for a moment, drive it to my girlfriend's apartment building, I'll take her out to get something to eat."
After the series of shocks, when Xiao Li heard the words "girlfriend," he was so calm that he couldn't be calmer and readily agreed.
During the ten-odd minutes of waiting, the two chatted idly, their topics light and casual, but their eyes were locked on each other.
As they chatted, their eyes met, and they kissed without even realizing it.
This kiss was more lingering than any before.
When Lu Chenyuan answered Xiao Li's call, he was still panting, with a faint trace of saliva on the corner of his lips, and his eyes were dark, filled with lingering desire.
Su Wan touched her lips, which were swollen from being kissed, feeling both satisfied and a little grumpy.
"Don't be so cruel to your loved ones next time, it's like you're going to eat me up."
"it is good."
Lu Chenyuan still only answered with one word, gentle yet domineering.
"Come on, let me carry you downstairs, the car is here."
"No, I can walk by myself."
Despite her stubbornness, she had only stood up and taken a couple of steps when her legs went weak and she could barely stand. Her cheeks flushed, and she simply gave up resisting, letting him pick her up in his arms.
He carried her steadily downstairs, carefully placed her in the passenger seat, and bent down to fasten her seatbelt.
The moment he leaned down, his cool breath enveloped her. She was so close that she could see his thick eyelashes, sharp jawline, and the lingering affection in his eyes.
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat again.
Lu Chenyuan closed the car door, walked around to the driver's seat, and started the car.
As he started the engine, he glanced at the person beside him whose cheeks were slightly flushed, and a faint, gentle smile curved his lips.
The car drove smoothly away, heading towards International Plaza and the hot pot restaurant where they had eaten together.
The scenery outside the window receded, while the air inside the car felt warm and inviting.
The car smoothly entered the underground parking lot of the International Plaza. The dim lighting made the car feel exceptionally private.
Lu Chenyuan parked the car steadily and turned off the engine, but he did not immediately open the car door. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Su Wan beside him with a deep gaze.
Su Wan blinked in confusion, reached out to unbuckle her seatbelt, and tilted her head to look at him curiously, not understanding why he was still waiting to get out of the car even though they had already arrived at their destination.
But the next second, she understood completely.
Before she could react, Lu Chenyuan had already leaned closer, firmly gripping her lower back with one hand. With a slight pull, he swept her from the passenger seat and made her straddle his lap.
A scorching, burning kiss came without warning. It wasn't a gentle touch, but a possessive and urgent one, biting her lips fiercely. Their lips and teeth intertwined, their breaths mingled, each kiss carrying a force that made her legs go weak.
His kisses traveled downwards, brushing past her flushed chin and landing precisely on her slender, fair neck.
A deep, passionate kiss left a clear yet ambiguous red mark, as if declaring a personal signature.
Only when Su Wan was kissed until her whole body went limp, and she was hanging weakly on him, breathing slightly heavily, did he slowly release her, his forehead touching hers, his breath slightly disordered.
"Wanwan, I really want to hold you like this forever and never let go."
