Chapter 196: Can’t Fool Oneself
The pink twilight cast a splendid glow across the sky.
Bai Li had her last dinner in Jiang Huai’s courtyard, her stomach full, and now she was sitting on Jiang Huai’s lap, with Jiang Huai gently massaging her belly and carefully wiping the grease from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
“Hold me a little longer, hold me a little longer,” Bai Li murmured softly.
Jiang Huai put down the handkerchief, gently wrapped his arms around her waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and lightly sniffed the faint scent on her body. The girl in his arms was warm and soft, but he could only hold her for a little while longer.
