Chapter 477 - 184 Mother-in-law "Eavesdropping," "Sour Grape" Zhong Tingyue_3
Although she was terribly shy, she could only comply with Zhong Zhenghua’s peculiar fetish.
If she were in Sucheng, she might have dropped everything and rushed over to enjoy this rare time for just the two of them...
Because Zhong Zhenghua didn’t belong to her alone; he had many other women.
"Honey, I miss you too..." Gu Lanxin’s voice trailed off.
"Honey, I want..."
...
「In the bedroom.」
After the storm had passed, they enjoyed a rare moment of tranquility.
Li Yuan looked at Zhong Tingyue, who was curled up naked in his arms. She was like a shorn lamb, fragile and helpless. Her body glistened with a fine sheen of sweat, as if she had just stepped out of the shower.
Her long eyelashes fluttered like fans. Her bright, crescent-moon eyes stared shyly at Li Yuan as she pouted.
"Hmph, you jerk, Li Yuan, I’m tired. Help me get cleaned up."
"Hehe, Little Moon, now it’s my turn to serve you."
A slight smile touched Li Yuan’s lips. He took a pack of wet wipes from the bedside table, tore it open, and began to gently wipe her body.
She was utterly exhausted. For the past five or six days, she had barely eaten, and her body had grown gaunt. After their intense session, she felt like her body was about to fall to pieces.
Li Yuan affectionately tapped Zhong Tingyue’s nose. "Little Moon, you’ve worked hard. I’ll be gentler next time."
Zhong Tingyue snorted coquettishly. "Stinky senior, you’re already thinking about a next time? I haven’t even forgiven you yet."
Li Yuan chuckled. "Just now, during ’that moment,’ didn’t you already forgive me? Are you going back on your word now?"
Zhong Tingyue’s cheeks instantly flushed crimson. She glared fiercely at Li Yuan, then leaned over and bit down hard on his arm, leaving a clear imprint of her teeth.
"Hmph, you jerk, Li Yuan, you still have the nerve to bring that up! In that situation, what was I supposed to say? You don’t know how to cherish a woman at all. I hate you so much."
"Little Moon, bite as hard as you want. I deserve it," Li Yuan said, theatrically grimacing in mock pain.
Zhong Tingyue had only bitten lightly, but seeing his exaggerated expression, she thought she had actually hurt him. She immediately let go and asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"
Li Yuan grinned foolishly. "It doesn’t hurt. Little Moon, no matter where you bite me, I’ll never think it hurts."
"You jerk, Li Yuan, I should just bite you to death! It’s all your fault for being such a philanderer."
Li Yuan pulled Zhong Tingyue into his embrace and kissed her forehead. He said with a cheerful chuckle, "Little Moon, just forgive me. Hehe, if you don’t forgive me, I’ll have to play poker with you all night..."
The moment Zhong Tingyue heard him mention playing poker again, her body trembled, and she shot him a wary glare. She had already experienced just how exceptional Li Yuan’s ’poker skills’ were. In the past, she might have been able to hold her own, trading wins and losses. But today, having barely eaten, she wasn’t in any condition to play and had no strength to fight back.
Although the resentment in her heart had already begun to fade, the memory of his actions was still fresh. She glared at Li Yuan, her tone turning acidic as she snorted, "If you want me to forgive you, you must agree to one condition."
Li Yuan was quick to agree. "Little Moon, just say it. Never mind one condition, I’d agree to ten."
Zhong Tingyue rolled her eyes at him and said quietly, "Senior, I don’t want any more sisters."
Li Yuan’s expression froze. He opened his mouth to explain, but she continued before he could speak.
"This time, I had planned to leave you for good. I even thought about ending it all.
"It was only because my mom was with me every day that I made it through. She only has me to rely on now. Trying to count on my philandering, heartless father is out of the question.
"Li Yuan, I’m a very selfish person. I selfishly want all of you. I don’t want to share your love with anyone, just like my mom, who has to be secretive just to meet my dad.
"Do you know? When I grew up and understood that my mom was just my biological father’s mistress, I couldn’t believe it. I felt so inferior to everyone else.
"I don’t understand. My mom is so beautiful, so why would she be willing to be someone’s mistress, unable to even get a marriage certificate? On my household registration, the space for ’father’ is blank..."
As Zhong Tingyue spoke, tears began to stream down her face.
They say women are made of water. Li Yuan hadn’t believed it before, but after seeing the reactions of his girlfriends, from Bai Weixi to Zhong Tingyue, he was starting to think it might be true.
Women really might be made of water.
"Little Moon!" Li Yuan called out softly, gently patting her shoulder.
Zhong Tingyue continued to sob, her tears flowing as she spoke, "Li Yuan, because of my family, I’ve had an inferiority complex since I was a child. I developed a cold exterior to hide my inner weakness... After learning my fate, I studied desperately, just wanting to escape its grasp...
"Before I came to college, that father of mine talked to me. He told me in a very harsh tone that I was absolutely forbidden from dating in college. I knew what his real intentions were. If I hadn’t met you, I probably wouldn’t have ever dated. You were the one who gave me courage...
"Li Yuan, I hate you, but I also love you so, so much. I can’t bear to leave you. Losing you would be like losing the entire world, a world suddenly without a single shred of color..."
