Chapter 16: Heart-fluttering

She bumped her back against the fence. Her high heels were too high, and she lost her balance and twisted her ankle.

“Who’s the one with no eyes?”

Earlier, Lin Yuan had finished eating and said she was thirsty. Sheng Xiao left for a while to buy her juice, but when he came back, he saw two old women barking at Lin Yuan.

Sheng Xiao wouldn’t tolerate them.

Meng Tian didn’t know Sheng Xiao, but Lin Fangfei did.

Sheng Xiao was wearing a black T-shirt and a gray baseball cap. His cold face gave off an aura of abstinence, making him seem untouchable.

Lin Fangfei couldn’t take her eyes off him.

This man was perfect in every way, except he lacked money.

If he had money, Lin Fangfei would definitely snatch him away, there would be no way Lin Yuan would get him.

Her gaze was practically glued to Sheng Xiao. Lin Yuan glanced at her with disgust and pulled Sheng Xiao behind her.

Meng Tian didn’t see it clearly just now. After she came to her senses, she stared at the man behind Lin Yuan, her face a little flushed.

This man is really interesting!

This man was so hot!

She looked like a lovestruck fool, as if she wasn’t the one who had been pushed.

She adjusted her breath and walked to Lin Yuan’s side. Her words were directed at Lin Yuan, but her eyes were fixed on Sheng Xiao’s face. “Lin Yuan, you’re quite the player. You already have a man, and you’re still trying to hook up with others?”

Lin Yuan rolled her eyes. “Idiot!”

“Handsome guy, you don’t know, this woman is already married. Her husband is a laborer.”

Sheng Xiao gave her a cold look, and Meng Tian felt the air around her freeze.

Lin Yuan didn’t want to waste time on them. “Husband, let’s go.”

Sheng Xiao’s warning gaze swept over Lin Fangfei and Meng Tian before he was led away by Lin Yuan.

Lin Fangfei rolled her eyes at Meng Tian when she couldn’t see. How could there be such a stupid woman!

She was an embarrassment!

“Fangfei, that man is Lin Yuan’s construction worker husband?”

“Didn’t you see?” She asked, still not understanding!

Meng Tian didn’t understand. Who would have thought a construction worker could have such charisma!

“Fangfei, don’t be angry. What’s the use of him being handsome? He’s still a poor bum.”

In this society, without money, you can’t go anywhere. Meng Tian’s thoughts were the same as Lin Fangfei’s. Lin Yuan and Sheng Xiao were just a fling. Poverty makes a couple miserable. It wouldn’t be long before they parted ways!

Lin Fangfei felt a little better after hearing her say that.

Meng Tian saw that her face wasn’t looking good, so she leaned close and whispered, “Fangfei, do you want to make Lin Yuan look bad?”

Lin Fangfei looked at her sideways. Meng Tian narrowed her eyes and sneered, “I have a way…”

On the other side, Lin Yuan and Sheng Xiao were browsing a men’s clothing store.

Sheng Xiao looked at Lin Yuan, who seemed completely unaffected. “Do you feel embarrassed being with me?”

In his circle, those women were all glamorous. The places they frequented were high-end beauty salons, foreign racetracks, luxury cars, villas, and yachts.

It was completely different from Lin Yuan.

So, when someone mocked Lin Yuan with Sheng Xiao’s job, Sheng Xiao wondered if she felt embarrassed inside.

Lin Yuan sipped her juice, tilting her head up and smiling. “Of course not. You’re my man. Only I know how good you are. Others have no right to judge you. In my eyes, you’re the best!”

Not only did she not feel that Sheng Xiao was unpresentable, but she also looked like she had found a treasure. It made Sheng Xiao feel comforted.

The words “my man” made his limbs go numb. He had never felt this way before. It was a strange feeling that spread from his left atrium to every cell in his body.

He immediately wrapped his arm around her, pulling her into his embrace. He lowered his head and kissed her. “Mmm, so sweet.”

Lin Yuan pushed him back shyly. “We’re in public!”

If they weren’t in public, Sheng Xiao would have already pinned her down and showered her with affection.

After buying clothes, they returned home. The warmth brought by the words “my man” hadn’t completely faded.

When Lin Yuan was trying on clothes, Sheng Xiao pressed against her from behind, wrapping his arms around her. His hot breath spread across her ear, making her feel itchy. “Don’t do that, it’s itchy～”

Her voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of coquetry. Sheng Xiao turned her around to face him. “Do you like me?”

Like him?

She had never liked anyone before. She didn’t know what it felt like to like someone.

“I don’t know. But I think I’m trying to like you.” She answered seriously, her two small hands intertwined, her brows furrowed as if she was thinking about a momentous occasion.

“What about you, Sheng Xiao? Do you like me?” Lin Yuan looked into Sheng Xiao’s eyes bravely, nervously anticipating his answer.

Sheng Xiao’s hands were still around her waist. He reached up and brushed her stray hair aside. His handsome brows met her gaze. “You’re beautiful. You make my heart flutter.”

He didn’t say he liked her, nor did he say he didn’t.

Lin Yuan also knew that it wasn’t realistic to expect a strange man to fall in love with her in such a short time.

She was easygoing and didn’t push it. After all, she hadn’t decided if she liked Sheng Xiao either.

There was a long time ahead of them. They had plenty of time to develop their feelings. She believed that she was not bad, and Sheng Xiao would definitely fall in love with her one day!

She didn’t know when he would fall in love with her.

But she was absolutely certain that he would fall in love with her.

For example, right now, Sheng Xiao’s hands were already moving restlessly, caressing her spine.

His lips brushed against her earlobe, almost imperceptibly. “It’s getting late. Let’s rest.”

Lin Yuan was so weak from him that she couldn’t even stand straight. “No, I have to go to work tomorrow. You can’t touch me.”

He was relentless in bed. He made her so tired that she was falling apart. The marks on her body were so obvious that even foundation couldn’t cover them. It was her first day of work tomorrow. If her colleagues saw them, it wouldn’t be good.

If Sheng Xiao listened to her at this time, he wouldn’t be Sheng Xiao.

He directly picked her up and threw her on the bed in the bedroom. “I’ll be gentle.”

“No!”

“Just twice.”

“No!”

“Once.”

Lin Yuan’s words of refusal were blocked by Sheng Xiao’s urgent breaths.

Men are always naturals when it comes to certain things. Although he had no practical experience before Lin Yuan, he could make her feel ecstatic and insatiable in bed.

Lin Yuan went from resisting to compromising, then to responding and taking the initiative.

A typical case of saying no but doing it anyway!

In the bedroom, the man’s muffled moans and the woman’s gasps intertwined. They were drenched in sweat. On the other side of the city, some unspeakable and sinister schemes were brewing…
