Chapter 34: Wan Wan, I’m Sorry

Cen Wan hadn’t eaten dinner and her stomach was rumbling. She had originally planned to act cute with Lu Beixun and ask him to accompany her for a snack, but now, even if she was hungry, she had no appetite.

She couldn’t figure out what was wrong with him. He was fine in the morning when he went to work. At lunchtime, He Yi called her to his office, and they were still lovey-dovey for a while. But by evening, he was like this.

She really couldn’t understand.

In the study, Lu Beixun opened a drawer and took out a business notebook. He flipped it open to the first page, his fingertips gently caressing the photo. He murmured softly, “Can I trust you?”

He flipped through the pages, lingering on each one for a long time.

When he turned to the third page, he froze. Besides his handwriting and a photo, there was a line of neat handwriting on the third page.

It read: [The me in another world, truly hated you, but also truly loved you. The me in this world, truly regrets, truly feels guilty, and truly wants to spend the rest of my life with you.]

This line of words was dated the day Cen Wan was reborn. She had written it while crying, and there were still traces of tears on the paper.

His fingertips gently caressed the traces of tears on the paper. He murmured softly, “This silly girl, how many times did she cry in secret…”

Cen Wan thought that Lu Beixun’s anger was probably due to the time she spent at the bar. Before she left work, she had sent Lu Beixun a message, and he had replied.

She had her people check the surveillance footage inside and outside the bar from five to seven o’clock. She took out her laptop and carefully observed the footage. Everything was normal when she and Xu Zhitang had an argument with others.

When the video footage switched to outside the bar, she noticed a familiar car parked on the side of the road driving away. Before that, Cen Xiu had been holding her. Cen Wan instantly understood Cen Xiu’s actions.

He had used the same trick twice. It was truly disgusting.

Lu Beixun only needed to stay for a few more seconds to see her slapping Cen Xiu. He still didn’t trust her.

Cen Wan felt like a stone was lodged in her heart. She looked at the footage on the computer and had an idea. She edited the scene of her slapping Cen Xiu, put it on a loop, and added a brainwashing background music. After finishing the editing, she tentatively sent Lu Beixun a message.

Cen Wan: [Let me show you something fun.]

Cen Wan: [/video/]

Cen Wan: [Trust me a little more /cute/]

A few minutes later, she didn’t receive a message from Lu Beixun. She didn’t know if he had seen the video she sent. Cen Wan lifted the covers and prepared to go to the study to check.

When she opened the bedroom door, she froze. Lu Beixun was standing outside the door. He didn’t look like he had just come from the study. Cen Wan blinked: “Why don’t you come in?”

“I’m afraid you don’t want to see me.” Lu Beixun looked down at her, his eyes filled with guilt. He wanted to pull her into his arms, but he was afraid she would be angry with him.

In the study, he had said those things to her. Even if she didn’t say it out loud, she must have been very sad.

“How could I?” Cen Wan lowered her eyes and took his hand, intertwining their fingers. She pulled him into the room: “I’m a little sad, but I won’t be angry with you, and I won’t not want to see you.”

She had Lu Beixun sit on the edge of the bed and straddled his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck: “Hug me~”

Lu Beixun wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her tightly. His voice was low: “Wan Wan, I’m sorry.”

Cen Wan rested her chin on his shoulder: “You never need to apologize to me.”

It was she who should apologize.

She sat up straight, stared at his thin lips, and lightly kissed him, a fleeting touch. Lu Beixun responded to her kiss.

Cen Wan pressed her hand against his chest, pushing him down on the bed. She pressed down on him. Because of the movement, her lips bumped against his teeth. It wasn’t painful, so she continued to kiss him. Lu Beixun patiently responded.

Cen Wan left his lips, her eyes misty: “Do I still need to knock when I go to the study?”

“No need.” Lu Beixun’s eyes were filled with desire from her grinding against him. His voice was hoarse, clearly holding back.

Cen Wan’s white fingertips traced his perfect outline: “I won’t let Cen Xiu off the hook. Trust me.”

Lu Beixun hummed in response. The little woman on him was too tempting.

His Adam’s apple was so sexy, it was a fatal temptation for Cen Wan. Her fingertips landed on his Adam’s apple, gently touching it.

Lu Beixun’s body stiffened. He held his breath.

His Adam’s apple bobbed. He suddenly flipped her over, pinning her down and controlling her hands above her head. His voice was low and husky: “Wan Wan, a man’s Adam’s apple is off-limits.”

Cen Wan blinked and asked, “What happens if you touch it?”

Of course, she knew what would happen. She was doing it on purpose.

Lu Beixun leaned close to her ear: “You’ll be punished if you touch it.”

His voice was husky, and his warm breath sprayed around her earlobes, making her heart itch. Her voice softened: “Then how do you want to punish me?”

A kiss landed on her neck. Lu Beixun asked, “Can I?”

Cen Wan’s eyelashes fluttered, her cheeks flushed: “What?”

“Can I have you, hmm?” Lu Beixun asked softly. He was already trying his best to control himself.

Cen Wan didn’t hesitate. She shyly nodded: “I’m yours.”

She was Lu Beixun’s and only his.

She broke free from his control, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him proactively. This was the best response.

Lu Beixun’s eyes were bloodshot. He blocked her lips, his kiss going from gentle to forceful, taking over her breath.

His kisses went from her brow to her neck, landing on her neck and collarbone, a dense array of kisses.

Cen Wan nervously grabbed his arm, her cheeks burning. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Her eyes were tinged with red.

The clothes on the floor were in disarray…

In the early morning, only the bedside lamp was still on in the bedroom.

Cen Wan was drowsy and her consciousness was fading.

She was so tired, she wanted to sleep…

She called his name, her voice soft: “Lu Beixun, I’m so sleepy…”

Lu Beixun hummed in response.

…

Half an hour later, he kissed her ear lightly and got up to go to the bathroom.

The bathtub was filled with water. He picked up the exhausted person from the bed and carried her into the bathroom. Cen Wan thought she could finally get some rest, but she was in for another round of torture.

She was too exhausted to resist and fell asleep. At two in the morning, Lu Beixun fished her out of the bathtub, carried her back to bed, and found a dry set of pajamas for her to wear.

In her sleep, her eyelashes fluttered, as if she was uncomfortable.

In her sleep, the painful areas felt cool and comfortable. Her brows relaxed, and she gradually fell into a peaceful sleep.

Lu Beixun gently applied medicine to her.

After everything was taken care of, he lay down beside her, pulled her into his arms, and quietly watched her sleeping face. He couldn’t resist and kissed her lips again.

He didn’t know how long it had been before he finally fell asleep, a dreamless sleep. The little woman beside him slept soundly.
