Chapter 1048: This Seems to Be Their First Kiss
Crystal Landon was naturally of the cold beauty type, and now she was wearing a fiery red dress, revealing her long, jade-like legs. The dress accentuated her fair complexion and radiant appearance, leaving anyone who saw her momentarily breathless.
"Wow, Grandma looks so beautiful today." She squinted her charming eyes, ran over, and held the old lady’s hands, glancing her up and down with a smile.
The elderly lady of the Shaw Family felt a bit embarrassed under her gaze. Every time they met, Crystal would be playfully flamboyant, yet she was utterly endearing. The old lady instinctively wanted to reach out and tap her, but couldn’t bear to, and laughed, "Your aunts and uncles are watching, be a bit more composed."
"Got it." She linked arms with the old lady, stood a bit more properly, and smiled at the aunts and uncles present.
Now, whispers had spread throughout the Shaw Family’s extended relatives that Richard Shaw had married a young girl of just 20, so these aunts and uncles couldn’t sit still, surrounding Crystal with praises.
The old lady noticed that, despite Crystal’s fine appearance, she wasn’t wearing any jewelry, and felt somewhat displeased. Her grandson had been back for so long and hadn’t bought Crystal anything? But, with family present, she couldn’t ask, so she smiled and said, "I remember there’s a pair of Red Jade Bracelets at home; wearing them would look even better."
Crystal had always disliked wearing jewelry. When she got married, the old lady had given her a pair of Red Jade Bracelets of excellent color, but she was afraid of damaging them, so she didn’t wear them.
"I’ll go put them on then."
"Go call Richard, everyone’s waiting for him here," the old lady said with a smile.
Crystal went upstairs, found the pair of Red Jade Bracelets in the jewelry box, and put them on. Just then, the man entered the bedroom to change clothes.
In the past few days, Richard Shaw hadn’t touched her. No matter how she tried to flirt with him in the evening, he seemed to stubbornly resist her, refusing to make a move. Seeing this, Crystal huffed slightly, stopping her flirtations. If he has the guts to never touch her again, holding a real tease of a woman every night, soon enough his brain might be fine, but his body would start acting up.
Richard noticed she was wearing a red dress and a pair of Red Jade Bracelets, which made her even more radiant and picturesque, so beautiful that he couldn’t take his eyes off her. He paused for a moment, furrowed his brows, and said in a deep voice, "This doesn’t look good."
Crystal was amused and infuriated, her charming eyes slightly arched as she casually replied, "It’s best to look without clothes on."
The man indeed recalled how she looked without clothes, and his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. His handsome yet stern face turned slightly sullen, and he said in displeasure, "Speak properly."
Seeing that he dared to reprimand her, Crystal put away the jewelry box, walked over to him with a charming allure, and wrapped her arms around his neck, whispering breathily, "Then teach me how to speak properly."
The final note of her voice was swallowed by the man’s throat.
These past nights, she’d teased him to the point where his whole body was taut as a rock, but recalling her previous first experience which left her calling out in pain, and the fact he took her three times in one night, he thought it best to let her rest for a few days. Moreover, internally, the man was angry with himself—how could he become enamored with a woman?
As a Military Commander who must maintain a clear and calm mind at all times, he couldn’t afford to lose his head, especially not over a woman. Thus, he had made quite an effort over the last few days not to touch her.
But at this moment, seeing her provocatively pout her red lips, exuding an air of confidence, the man instinctively grasped her slender waist, pulling her into his arms, and kissed her mischievous red lips.
The moment their incredibly soft lips touched, both of them shuddered slightly.
This seemed to be their first kiss.
