Chapter 556: Chapter 554: Conquest and Affection
Song Nuan gently stepped on his foot, tiptoed, hooked his neck with her hand, and exerted a force upward. Her legs instantly wrapped around his waist, and her whole body hung onto him.
Lu Yan was afraid she would fall, and instinctively held her.
She smiled, close to his face: "I’m here..."
"Why did you call me? Can’t you see me?"
He simply went along her waistline: "Too thin, really didn’t notice."
She pressed her chest lower: "Didn’t notice? Or... do you like cows?"
The man squinted his eyes and carried her straight into the room. Song Nuan sensed a dangerous vibe, her heart starting to race.
Nervous, but also mixed with some anticipation.
All the way to the room, straight to the bathroom.
The water was flowing loudly.
The bathtub was filled with warm water, just when something seemed about to happen, the little girl was put into the bathtub by the man, who then walked out of the bathroom.
Song Nuan blinked in confusion: "???"
"Lu Yan!" She jumped out of the bathtub and called out to him: "What does this mean?"
The man’s footsteps halted: "Cooling you down."
"...?" Song Nuan angrily grabbed the soap and threw it at his back: "You must have some issues."
Lu Yan picked up the soap, placed it on the counter, and left, closing the door.
Song Nuan: "..."
What the...!
...
Song Nuan was forced to take a bath, but speaking of cooling down, it was actually a hot bath. Who would take a cold shower in the middle of winter?
When she came out, she found prepared clothes outside.
Not sure where he got them from, but they fit quite well.
Just didn’t see where Lu Yan had gone.
Song Nuan was a bit puzzled, wondering whether this annoying man had left her behind.
But thinking about it, he’s not really that kind of person. But if he hadn’t left, where had he gone? Could it be that he doesn’t want to see her?
Was it just a tease? Is it necessary to be so cowardly?
Shouldn’t she be the one feeling nervous?
Song Nuan gathered all her courage to do those things, but this person actually ran away.
She was a bit angry.
She headed straight to the farm resort hallway, and saw the owner at the front desk.
Song Nuan smiled and walked over to inquire: "Have you seen my brother?"
"The one who came to check in just now. Did you see where he went? I can’t find him anymore." Song Nuan: "I called him but he didn’t answer."
The owner looked her up and down, a meaningful expression in his eyes.
This girl looks quite young. Are they really staying in one room together?
"Is that your real brother?"
In the owner’s eyes, a girl her age wouldn’t have a mature mindset and could easily be coaxed.
"What?" Song Nuan: "No."
The owner whispered, "Then let me remind you nicely, be careful, there’s not a good man in this world."
"Don’t blame me for speaking ill of your brother, but young girls should be more mindful."
He saw them hugging in the corridor earlier and thought they were biological siblings. Siblings wouldn’t be a big deal, but since they aren’t blood-related and still hugging so intimately, isn’t it somewhat inappropriate?
Song Nuan felt a bit foggy and didn’t quite understand what the owner was implying.
She heard the crucial sentence that men aren’t trustworthy, but the owner is also a man, so she asked, "So are you saying you’re not trustworthy either?"
Owner: "..."
He was stuck for words.
Song Nuan frowned, originally wanting to retort that Lu Yan is trustworthy.
But it doesn’t seem like this is much of a compliment.
She finally snorted lightly and turned away.
The owner watched Song Nuan’s back: "..."
What on earth? What is this girl thinking?
He kindly warned her, and she treats it like donkey liver and lungs.
Forget it, he has fulfilled his duty. But wait —
If something happens to this girl here, does he have to be responsible?
Should he choose to report to the police??
...
The age difference between them is quite large, so Song Nuan particularly dislikes hear anyone speaking ill of Lu Yan, not even a word.
She always feels that the more people say such things, the further Lu Yan will get pushed away. He already cares about her young age.
Song Nuan always resents why she is so young? It’s just an age issue.
Why can’t she be older?
If she were older, people wouldn’t say those things.
The rain outside was heavy, Song Nuan searched everywhere but couldn’t find Lu Yan.
"Are you looking for your brother? I just saw him go out." said a guest approaching Song Nuan.
Because the two came to the farm resort for the New Year and they both looked exceptionally good, very eye-catching, so some people recognized them.
"Went out?" Song Nuan’s almond eyes widened: "Which way did he go?"
Hope he didn’t just leave her here and went away, right?
"Just went down this small path, didn’t bring an umbrella." the person said: "Did you two have a fight? I thought he was going to get something from the car."
"Thanks." Song Nuan said and prepared to dash into the rain.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed her.
Song Nuan tried to shake off the hand: "Let go of me."
"Nuannuan, it’s raining so hard outside, isn’t it a bit bad to go out like this?"
A familiar voice came beside her ears.
With a unique rebellious youthfulness.
Song Nuan paused, turning around she saw Fu Jingsheng’s handsome and slightly rebellious face.
"Fu Jingsheng? What are you doing here."
Fu Jingsheng frowned, reached out and rubbed Song Nuan’s head: "Why don’t you even call me brother now, is it because you’re growing up and getting more rude?"
Song Nuan: "..."
"I’m going to find my brother."
She didn’t care why Fu Jingsheng was here, she just wanted to find Lu Yan now.
"Your brother is right in front of you, where else are you going to look?"
Song Nuan: "...I’m too lazy to talk to you."
She gave him a light push, causing Fu Jingsheng to stagger back several steps, finally landing on the ground.
Song Nuan: "..." Faking injury? She swore it was just a gentle push!
Fu Jingsheng: "..." Damn, embarrassing, pushed and fell.
He propped himself on the ground, trying to get up, but didn’t have much strength.
He grimaced, extremely reluctantly: "What are you looking at? Give me a hand."
Fu Jingsheng is inherently rebellious, proud, and couldn’t bear this humiliation.
He couldn’t stand the humiliation, refusing to always listen to others, so he escaped the T Organization, with rebellion ingrained in his bones.
He went to T Organization to get medicine and got hurt, finally recovered but not fully.
If his body wasn’t naturally fit, he might have been bedridden for a lifetime.
Now his condition is similar to Tang Si’s, being in a slow recovery phase.
Delicate and easily knocked down.
Had a lot of enemies before, decided to find a farmhouse to lay low.
This time, he didn’t bring Shi Xunnian along. After thinking it over, Fu Jingsheng felt that the girl was still too young. It would be too dangerous to follow him, not to mention that his current health wasn’t good. If something bad happened, he really couldn’t protect her.
Fu Jingsheng wasn’t someone who liked to owe people favors.
Song Nuan saw he wasn’t pretending, reached out to pull him.
Still complaining: "When did you become like this? Weren’t you quite the fighter before? Claimed you could single-handedly take on 100?"
Fu Jingsheng: "Try surviving a brush with death and see if you can take on 100 for me?"
"What happened?" Song Nuan frowned.
Fu Jingsheng rubbed his nose, feeling it was better she didn’t know about this.
So he casually said, "Flirted with a pretty girl, turned out she had a boyfriend."
"A foreign brute, trained fighter type." Fu Jingsheng made up stuff: "Like a dog, ambushed me."
"...You deserved it."
After saying this, Song Nuan got ready to walk into the rain.
"Come back." Fu Jingsheng grabbed her again.
Song Nuan annoyed: "I could cripple you for life with one kick, and you still hold me?"
"But you shouldn’t be running into the rain for no reason, such a heavy rain, your small frame, so delicate and fragile, what if you catch a cold?"
"Why are you going out? If you’re going, take an umbrella, you’re not young anymore, how come you don’t know to take care of your body?"
Fu Jingsheng lectured Song Nuan: "Do you want arthritis in old age? Want to not be able to have kids?"
"...What?" The last sentence caught Song Nuan’s attention: "Can’t have children after getting rained on??"
She must have studied fake biology.
Fu Jingsheng: "Of course, you should know I studied medicine."
Scaring this girl is also okay.
Song Nuan thought about it: "Nonsense, you didn’t study gynecology."
She turned to leave, Fu Jingsheng grabbed her again.
As a result, when Song Nuan was pulled back, she slipped and lunged at Fu Jingsheng.
Fu Jingsheng: "!!!"
"Thud—" Both fell to the ground.
She landed on Fu Jingsheng, who let out a muffled grunt: "...Damn"
Song Nuan quickly got up from him.
"Are you okay?"
Fu Jingsheng took a while to catch his breath, weakly said: "...Almost lost my life because of you."
Just as he said this, footsteps approached from afar.
Song Nuan looked back.
Lu Yan, drenched, was approaching from less than three meters away.
The man had deep eyes and glanced at Song Nuan.
Song Nuan’s heart skipped; he might have seen her with Fu Jingsheng earlier—
Would he misunderstand, be jealous, be angry?
Thoughts raced through her mind, her lips moved, and as Lu Yan slowly approached, she wanted to say something but couldn’t organize her words.
All she managed was incoherent babble, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"You... I... this, he..."
"Hey..." In her panic, the man’s wet hand grabbed her wrist.
He pulled her upstairs to a room.
Fu Jingsheng got up, full of questions.
What... what’s going on?
That man...?
Her boyfriend?
He immediately wanted to follow, but at this moment the boss came over: "What do you want? Who are you to that girl? I’ve been watching you for a long time now."
"I’m her brother." Fu Jingsheng said.
Boss: "You’re her brother too, how many brothers does that girl have? She clearly doesn’t want to talk to you."
"You are not allowed to follow."
"Why?" Fu Jingsheng: "And what did you mean earlier, she said that man was her brother too?"
Boss: "Yes, but at least that girl seems more attached to him, clearly doesn’t want to deal with you, I think you are up to no good. I need to protect my customer’s safety, if you follow, I’ll call the police."
The boss thought for a moment, this girl had been accompanying that man voluntarily all along.
Never said a word against it, and she seemed happy during meals, so it’s presumably mutual---he left it alone. He’d checked the ID register, the girl is an adult.
Now another so-called brother appears, clearly with bad intentions, he had to intervene.
Fu Jingsheng: "..."
He was speechless, this boss wouldn’t let him go, and if he weren’t weak, how could he be stuck?
Seriously pissed off.
...
Song Nuan was dragged upstairs by Lu Yan.
The door slammed shut, and she was pinned against it.
Song Nuan’s eyes were like a frightened deer, gazing at the soaking wet man whose hair was still dripping.
His pupils dark and alarming, her heart nervously tugged: "Lu Yan..."
This was the first time she saw him like this.
Beside him was his fluctuating breathing.
They stayed in this posture for who knows how long.
The man finally spoke hoarsely: "Did you get hurt?"
Seemingly calming his emotions for a long time before asking these four words.
These four words stunned Song Nuan.
She thought he would interrogate, why she was with another man.
Thought he would ask what her relationship with Fu Jingsheng was, but he asked about her instead. Even thought he would be angry, then decide he didn’t want her, thinking she didn’t listen.
For a moment, she was utterly panicked.
But now...
Her heart felt a different kind of feeling.
Seeing the little girl’s gaze, pitiful but mixed with some grievance.
Made his entire heart clench, Lu Yan frowned: "Really got hurt?"
"No, no." Song Nuan shook her head, then explained: "I was just going out to find you, he pulled me, and accidentally my foot slipped, that’s why..."
"Mm—" Song Nuan’s explanation was interrupted by the man’s sudden kiss.
This kiss was more fierce and uncompromising than any before, nibbling and biting, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
Filled with the man’s strong scent and possessiveness.
Song Nuan was overwhelmed by the kiss.
"Mm... Lu Yan..." Song Nuan struggled, pushing his shoulders, her power too weak against him.
Such a weak little creature, such a reluctant gesture, especially able to awaken the deepest—
Desire to possess, conquer, cherish.
He admitted that when he saw Song Nuan close to another man, his mind went berserk and out of control.
"Song Nuan, I damn near froze in the rain outside to sober up." Lu Yan bit her lip, refusing to let go: "Inside you’re cozying up to men for me, is that it, is that it, is it?"
Without another word, the kiss intensified.
He never felt his possessiveness was this strong before.
Song Nuan’s eyes reddened, looking so pitifully adorable, trying to push him, voice small and whimpering: "Mm... Lu, Lu Yan... I’m scared..."
