Chapter 45: Are You Leaving?

The next morning, Cen Wan woke up. She looked beside her. The person beside her was still asleep. She sat up from the bed. She had blacked out last night, and her head was still dizzy. She only remembered that she couldn’t find Xu Zhitang and Shen Jianyu last night, and then Lu Beixun came to pick her up. That’s all she remembered.

She tried to recall what had happened last night. She racked her brains, but she could only vaguely remember that she had clung to Lu Beixun and asked him to give her a bath. After entering the bathroom, she fell asleep again.

When she looked at the person beside her again, he was propping his head up with one hand, looking at her with a hint of amusement. Cen Wan was a little startled: “You… you’re awake?”

“Hmm.” His voice was filled with the drowsiness and laziness of having just woken up. “What were you thinking about?”

“I got drunk last night…”

“Hmm.”

“Did I act crazy… or say anything stupid?” Cen Wan wasn’t afraid of acting crazy. She was afraid of saying something stupid that he would hear.

If she had babbled and revealed the secrets in her heart, he would definitely think she was crazy.

Lu Beixun sat up from the bed: “You didn’t say anything stupid. You just kept clinging to me and asking me to give you a bath. You were so clingy.”

Cen Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Like a hooligan, she reached out and lifted his chin: “Honestly, did you take advantage of me while giving me a bath?”

Lu Beixun grabbed her wrist: “Of course, there’s a fee.”

Cen Wan laughed: “You took advantage of me while I was drunk. Hubby, you’re a bit of a beast.”

Lu Beixun rubbed her messy hair: “Get up and wash up.”

“I feel terrible.”

“Should I carry you?” Lu Beixun said.

Cen Wan nodded like a little chick pecking at rice: “Okay.”

She reached out, and Lu Beixun hugged her. Her long legs wrapped around Lu Beixun’s lean waist, and her arms wrapped around his neck.

Lu Beixun put her on the washbasin and sat her down. He squeezed toothpaste for her and turned on the water. Cen Wan took the cup Lu Beixun handed her and rinsed her mouth. She opened her mouth: “Hubby, brush my teeth.”

Lu Beixun chuckled softly: “Spoiled.”

His tone was indulgent, without a hint of disgust.

Cen Wan shrugged: “I can’t help it. I’m lucky, I have a good family, and I have a hubby who spoils me so much. It’s all your fault.”

Lu Beixun brushed her teeth, smiling: “You’re quite a chatterbox.”

It was Saturday today. Cen Wan finished breakfast and looked at her phone messages.

Xu Zhitang: [Sister, do you still have your waist? Did you run away from home?]

Cen Wan: [?]

Xu Zhitang: [Don’t be angry with your sister. We were just protecting ourselves last night.]

Cen Wan roughly understood why Xu Zhitang and Shen Jianyu were gone.

Cen Wan: [Hehe, friendship over.]

She knew that Xu Zhitang was afraid of Lu Beixun, but that couldn’t be a reason for her to abandon her sister. Besides, she had also taken Shen Jianyu away, leaving only her behind. This plastic friendship wasn’t for nothing. She was making fun of her early in the morning.

Her hubby wasn’t the kind of person who would take advantage of the situation. Her little waist was still there.

Cen Wan stared blankly for a while, then looked at Yang Auntie by the coffee machine. She got up and walked over: “Does Lu Beixun want coffee?”

“Yes, Madam.”

Lu Beixun finished breakfast and spent some time with her before going into the study. Cen Wan looked at the coffee machine: “Yang Auntie, teach me how to use it.”

Yang Auntie nodded and patiently taught her. Cen Wan learned quickly. She made a cup of Americano and took it to the study. She pushed the door open, and Lu Beixun looked up at her.

Cen Wan smiled: “Mr. Lu, your coffee. Enjoy.”

She walked over and placed it on his desk.

Lu Beixun grabbed her hand and held it in his palm: “Just let Yang Auntie do these things.”

“I want to see you.” Cen Wan said.

“Come directly next time.”

Cen Wan nodded. She stayed in the study for a while. She could clearly feel that she was affecting Lu Beixun’s work. She said goodbye to Lu Beixun and prepared to leave the study. It was almost noon, and she wanted to make him lunch.

She hadn’t had time to cook for him while she was working lately.

Cen Wan’s hand was just about to reach the doorknob when her other wrist was grabbed. She was pulled back with a jerk, crashing into a warm embrace. Then, her waist was hooked, and she was pressed against the wall in a very possessive posture.

She looked up at Lu Beixun: “What’s wrong?”

His eyes were black. Cen Wan couldn’t tell what he was thinking, but she could clearly feel that he had something to say.

“Cen Wan.” He called her, calling her by her full name.

Cen Wan looked directly into his black eyes: “Hmm?”

His thin lips were slightly pursed, his gaze burning: “I don’t want to wait until a year later. The one-year agreement is void.”

“I’m giving you one last chance to choose. Are you leaving?”

Cen Wan looked at him and pondered for a moment. During those few seconds of silence, she could see the disappointment flashing in Lu Beixun’s black eyes. She couldn’t help but reach out and cup his face: “Don’t you trust me that much?”

Lu Beixun’s thin lips were slightly pursed. He didn’t speak.

Cen Wan giggled, stood on tiptoe, and kissed the corner of his lips: “I want to love you.”

Lu Beixun’s voice was low: “Are you sure? This is your last chance.”

“After I’m sure, no matter what you do in the future, I won’t let you leave. I’ll even use special methods to make you obey.”

Cen Wan knew that Lu Beixun was serious. She blinked and asked, “Am I not obedient now?”

Lu Beixun cupped her face with one hand: “You are.”

“No matter how many times you ask me.” Cen Wan: “I will always choose to love you.”

Lu Beixun held her in his arms: “You can only be mine.”

As he spoke, his lips pressed down, blocking her soft lips, forcefully taking over her breath. Cen Wan wrapped her arms around his neck and passively endured.

When her brain was about to suffocate, Lu Beixun left her lips. His eyes were filled with desire, and his voice was husky: “Is the sofa in the study okay?”

Cen Wan’s nostrils were filled with his unique scent. She looked at the sofa in the study and shyly nodded.

Her obedient look softened Lu Beixun’s heart.

He carried her horizontally and placed her on the sofa. Lu Beixun pressed down. Cen Wan pressed her hands against his chest, her voice trembling slightly: “Hubby, the study door… lock it.”

Lu Beixun lightly bit her lips, got up, and locked the study door.

After enough foreplay, Cen Wan’s eyes were tinged with red. Lu Beixun’s brow furrowed slightly, as he was trying his best to hold back.

Looking at the little woman beneath him, resisting the urge to devour her, he said, “Do you love me?”

“I do.”

Lu Beixun: “Guilt or love?”

“Guilt is real, and love is real too.”

“Baby, kiss me.”

Cen Wan stared at his thin lips and tilted her head to kiss him.

Just before lunch, Lu Beixun picked up his clothes from the floor and put them on. He looked down at the little woman lying on the sofa and chuckled softly: “Do you need my help?”

Cen Wan gritted her teeth: “Lu, Bei, Xun!”

“Be good, baby.” Lu Beixun smiled: “I’ll help you.”

After cleaning up, Lu Beixun carried her towards the bedroom. The bathtub was filled with water. He put her in: “Clean yourself up. I’ll bring the food in.”

Cen Wan lay comfortably in the bathtub, closed her eyes, and hummed in response.
