Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 544 - 543: Can Increase Fun (Fourth Update)

The feeling of damp heat, tinged with slight pain, trickled from the fingers held by Ji Rui. Le Tong lowered her eyes to see Ji Rui opening his mouth, biting her slender fingers one by one."Boom," Le Tong’s face exploded in a full blush!

Ji Rui observed with great delight as the retreating blush once again spread across her face, the primal desire he had suppressed countless times deep within himself suddenly sparked by her innocent reaction.

This desire erupted like a volcanic explosion, fierce and overwhelming, and although he tried to suppress it as he did before, he found it impossible.

Overcome with an unbearable heat, Ji Rui bit his lip hard and cursed silently to himself, damn!

What started as a playful tease turned into underestimating her allure and overestimating his own self-control, landing him in a torment of his own making!

The beast that had long lain dormant in the depths of his heart surged forward with vigor, leaving Ji Rui’s long-prized rationality in tatters.

His judgment clouded by desire, Ji Rui tightly embraced Le Tong, stood up in a rush, and carried her toward the exit, speaking hoarsely over his shoulder to Yang Sheng.

"Le Tong is feeling unwell, so I’ll take her back to the room first."

Yang Sheng and Baobao, who had been lying with eyes closed, were momentarily stunned by Ji Rui’s words, but quickly caught on to what was really happening.

"Third room on the second floor," Yang Sheng called toward Ji Rui’s retreating back.

"Mommy is not well? I want to see..." Baobao scrambled up, ready to follow, but was quickly restrained by Yang Sheng and held down.

"Stay out of adult matters, kid!"

With a raised eyebrow, Baobao quickly understood, snuggled into a comfortable position atop Yang Sheng, and drifted off to sleep.

Having played for quite a while in the water, Baobao was weary and soon fell asleep soundly like a little pig.

Yang Sheng looked down at the adorable little one, kissed his forehead, wrapped him in a towel, and started walking toward the main house, sighing along the way.

"Some get to enjoy a romantic time, while I have to play the role of dad."

Meanwhile, carrying Le Tong, Ji Rui made his way back to the main house along the corridor linking it to the swimming area. To his luck, he didn’t encounter a single servant.

After Ji Rui’s teasing, Le Tong was already overwhelmed with embarrassment, and then Ji Rui softly threatened near her ear, "Don’t make a noise, or it’ll be embarrassing if you wake the Old Master."

Reluctant to disturb anyone, Le Tong obediently nestled into Ji Rui’s arms, even burying her head against his chest and not daring to lift it at all.

Ji Rui effortlessly carried Le Tong into the guest room specifically prepared for them by the Old Master, and as they entered, he kicked the door shut.

Upon hearing the door close, Le Tong finally lifted her head from his embrace. Seeing they were inside the room, she timidly requested, "Put me down."

Ji Rui, however, ignored her request, carrying her towards the bathroom with long strides.

"Ji Rui..." Le Tong’s voice grew anxious as she watched herself being carried into the bathroom.

"You’re all wet. If you don’t quickly take a hot shower, you’ll catch a cold."

Ji Rui seemed not to hear Le Tong’s protests, gently placing her in the bathtub, propping one hand against the wall to trap her within the arc of his arm, and turned on the faucet. Warm water began to spray gently from the bath’s edge.

"Ji Rui, leave, I can handle it myself." Le Tong tried hard to calm herself, as she started to sense the danger closing in.

Feeling like a piece of meat on the chopping board, it seemed that the man before her was ready to feast tonight!

Having turned on the water, Ji Rui’s other hand reached for Le Tong’s collar, "Do you want to do it yourself, or shall I, hmm?!"

His voice, low and hoarse, sent a shiver through Le Tong.

Trying instinctively to clutch at her collar, she lowered her eyes to hide her fear and panic, but her gaze inadvertently landed on a certain part of him.

There, clearly, was different from its usual state.

Le Tong shivered slightly, lifting her eyes to see twin flames dancing in the man’s eyes.

Her heart tightened, and she pouted in grievance, "Ji Rui..."

Her softened voice carried a hint of pleading, which seemed to soften Ji Rui’s heart momentarily. His gaze darkened, and he leaned in to kiss her tenderly, then stood up straight and strode out of the bathroom.

Le Tong let out a long exhale of relief as she relaxed, her body reclining, eyes half-closed as her head rested against the edge of the tub.

The warm water in the tub gradually filled, its temperature just a bit higher than her own, making her feel very comfortable. Even though her clothes were still on, she felt too lazy to open her eyes. She just wanted to take a breather and lay still for a while before figuring out what to do next.

When a person relaxes, they easily succumb to sleepiness, and in this position, she drifted off into a light sleep.

It wasn’t until something cold pressed against her lips that she jolted awake, meeting Ji Rui’s deep green eyes.

"Have a drink..." Ji Rui’s tone was gentle, yet the glass pressed against her lips carried a forceful undertone, with no room for negotiation.

"No..." Le Tong slightly turned her head, trying to refuse.

"Be good, it’s just low-alcohol wine, having a little won’t hurt..."

Ji Rui added a bit more force subtly.

Cornered in the tub, although Le Tong was fully clothed, she felt entirely exposed and vulnerable, sensing that Ji Rui had metaphorically stripped her bare...

"Didn’t you say not to let me drink?" Le Tong blinked her slightly misty eyes, making a futile effort.

Ji Rui stepped into the bathtub in one stride, uncaring of whether Le Tong agreed or not, and sat facing her.

"It’s different!" Long arms reached out, pulling Le Tong easily into his embrace.

"What’s different? You said alcohol harms the body, told me not to drink it, and now you’re forcing me to?!"

Le Tong argued ambitiously, hands searching for a grip to push herself up against the bathtub edge.

But the tub was slippery, and with Ji Rui’s arm holding her like an iron chain, she fumbled behind her, unable to find a grip.

"I said drinking harms the body referring to your past careless drinking habits. A small amount won’t hurt. Plus..."

Ji Rui paused, lowering his head to kiss her once more.

"Plus what?" Le Tong, fortifying herself, asked with an aggressive demeanor.

Ji Rui smirked, raising the glass to drink the wine before swiftly leaning down to capture her lips, transferring the wine into her mouth with bold intent.

"Besides, it can spice things up..." His voice became increasingly alluring.
