Top Soldier Pursued by a Beauty

Zhao Dong got out of the car and stared at the private, standalone villa before him, utterly astonished. The villa was located on the mountainside in East Sea, overlooking the entire city. To the southeast was the vast sea; the surroundings were stunningly beautiful and the air was exceptionally fresh. In a place like East Sea, where every inch of land was gold, this single villa was probably worth close to seventy or eighty million.

He stroked his chin. Truly befitting of the most prominent entrepreneur in East Sea for the past five years!

Approaching the entrance, Zhao Dong knocked on the door. No sooner had he knocked than the door swung open, revealing a stunning figure in the doorway. It was Lin Qingyun.

Lin Qingyun was dressed in a beige silk nightdress, her dark hair casually draped over her shoulders. Her delicate, snow-white collarbones were exposed, and below them was her ample, perky bust. She had clearly just taken a bath. Her cheeks were still flushed, and tiny droplets of water dripped from her hair. One had to admit, Lin Qingyun was a true kingdom-toppling beauty, a vision of celestial grace.

Noticing Zhao Dong's stare, Lin Qingyun's cheeks flushed, but she maintained her cold expression. "Have you seen enough?"

Zhao Dong snapped back to his senses. He rubbed his nose and chuckled guiltily, "I've seen enough, more than enough. Where are the mice? I'll go catch them for you."

Lin Qingyun's expression softened slightly, but she still hesitated. Inviting Zhao Dong in this late at night… wouldn't it be inappropriate? However, mice were what she feared most. If they weren't caught tonight, she wouldn't be able to sleep a wink. Besides, Zhao Dong was the only man in East Sea she could turn to for help.

Finally, Lin Qingyun opened the door wider. "They're in my bedroom on the second floor. Please, go have a look."

This was the first time she had ever brought a man to her villa, let alone into her bedroom. She was naturally a little embarrassed. A blush graced her pretty cheeks as she ascended the stairs, with Zhao Dong following close behind. Watching her graceful, enchanting figure and those long, pale legs, he repeated to himself in his mind, Zhao Dong, stay calm! Stay calm!

When they reached her bedroom door, Lin Qingyun said awkwardly, "The mice are under the bed. Please, go take a look."

Zhao Dong nodded and entered. Her bedroom was quite spacious, with a large, adjoined bathroom complete with a sizable bathtub. Some lifestyle, he marveled inwardly before beginning his search. But after looking for some time, he couldn't find anything.

"There's nothing here," he said doubtfully. "I checked under the table, the sofa, and the bed. Nothing."

Lin Qingyun shook her head. "Impossible. I just saw two big mice with my own eyes. They have to be here. Keep looking."

Just as she spoke, two mice suddenly scurried out from a corner. Lin Qingyun screamed, terrified out of her wits. The mice, as if sensing her fear, rushed right toward her. Lin Qingyun's mind went completely blank.

The mice reached her feet in an instant. With a terrified shiver, Lin Qingyun leaped up as if she were spring-loaded and threw herself onto Zhao Dong, clinging to him for dear life.

Zhao Dong was immediately met with a soft impact as Lin Qingyun held onto him like a koala. A ripple went through his heart. In this position, he could clearly feel her alluring, voluptuous body pressed against him. She was so soft, so supple, so full.

Coming to his senses, Zhao Dong reacted in a flash. He lashed out with both feet, kicking the two mice and sending them onto their backs. "It's alright. They're taken care of," Zhao Dong said, patting her beautiful back as he held her.

A tingling sensation spread through Lin Qingyun's body, an indescribable feeling washing over her. She opened her eyes, half-shy and half-afraid, only to see the dead mice on the floor. Startled again, she trembled like a flower in the wind and, just as she was about to let go, clung to Zhao Dong once more.

This time, Zhao Dong lost his balance. He staggered backward and fell straight onto the bed. Carried by inertia, Lin Qingyun fell right on top of him, her delicate lips pressing directly against his.

Her eyes flew open in shock, her mind a blank slate. She frantically tried to pull away, but he wrapped his arms around her, holding her fast as he pried her lips open.

Lin Qingyun's body stiffened, her brain short-circuiting. It felt as if a bandit had invaded, plundering her sweet treasures at will. She felt herself suffocating, unable to breathe, as if she were falling into a black hole where everything was being devoured. The atmosphere grew thick and sensual. Lin Qingyun lost all conscious thought, surrendering to Zhao Dong's invasion. I'm going to lose my mind...

After what felt like an eternity, Zhao Dong finally let her go. He wiped his mouth and grinned. "So sweet."

Lin Qingyun lay on the bed in a daze, staring at him. A second later, tears streamed down her face. Zhao Dong was startled. "What's wrong?"

"Zhao Dong, you bullied me!" Lin Qingyun's eyes were red, tears flowing ceaselessly, her face a mask of grievance and resentment.

A pang of heartache struck Zhao Dong, and guilt washed over him. He wasn't sure what had come over him to make him get so carried away and do that to her. He scratched his head guiltily. "I was wrong. I just got carried away..."

Seeing that her tears were still flowing, he reached out to wipe them away and said with a roguish smile, "Stop crying. You're my woman, what's wrong with a little kiss? We still have to consummate our marriage, you know!"

Lin Qingyun shot up, grabbed a pillow, and hurled it at him. "Get out!"

Zhao Dong caught the pillow, dusted it off, and placed it on the bed with a wicked smile. "Don't be angry. You won't look as pretty if you stay mad!"

"Then go find someone who's pretty!" Lin Qingyun turned her head away, fuming. This guy... he actually dared to force a kiss on me! What a scoundrel! A complete hooligan!

Seeing her reaction, Zhao Dong deliberately put on a stern face. "Still angry? If you keep this up, I'm leaving. You can deal with the mice yourself."

"Go ahead! I don't want to see you."

"Fine. You said it."

Zhao Dong turned and started to walk away. Just as he reached the doorway, another little mouse suddenly darted out.

Lin Qingyun screamed in terror. "Zhao Dong! Come back! There's a mouse!"

Zhao Dong pursed his lips. "You deal with it. You're the one who told me to leave."

Standing on the bed, Lin Qingyun was so frantic she was about to cry. "I was wrong, alright? Please come back. I'll be scared if you leave."

A flash of delight went through Zhao Dong's heart, but he merely gave a cold huff. "Fine. I forgive you." With that, he grabbed a broom, swiftly killed the mouse, and tossed it into the trash can. He then dusted off his hands. "Alright, it's safe now. I really should be going. You get some rest."

Lin Qingyun carefully climbed off the bed. Watching his retreating back, she bit her lip and said hesitantly, "Zhao Dong..."

"Hmm?" Zhao Dong turned to look at her. "What is it?"

Clutching the hem of her nightdress, Lin Qingyun said nervously, "Could you... not leave tonight? I'm afraid more mice will come out."

Zhao Dong's eyes traveled up and down her figure. Gazing at the enchanting beauty before him, he swallowed hard, his mouth suddenly dry. "Aren't you scared of me?"

Biting her lip, Lin Qingyun whispered, "I am..."

"Then you still dare to ask me to stay?"

"I... I believe you're a good person. You won't do anything to me."

"And what if I do?"

Lin Qingyun looked down, her voice filled with resentment. "Then I'll despise you for the rest of my life and never forgive you, because you'd be taking advantage of my predicament."

Zhao Dong scratched his head and, after a moment, sighed. "Fine. I'll be a good guy tonight. So, where do I sleep?"

Lin Qingyun hesitated, then pointed to the floor beside the bed. "Could you... sleep on the floor?"

A moment later, Lin Qingyun was nestled under the covers while Zhao Dong lay on the adjacent floor. He was covered with a blanket, a dejected look on his face. "I'm your man, for crying out loud. You have the heart to make me sleep on the floor?"

Lin Qingyun gave a sly smile. "Either way, you're not getting in this bed tonight."

"Then when can I get in your bed?"

Lin Qingyun blinked her large, earnest eyes at him. "When I've fully accepted you, fallen in love with you, and am truly willing to entrust myself to you."

Zhao Dong smiled. "I hope that day comes soon."

Lin Qingyun gave him a deep look. "Then you'll have to work hard for it... Good night!"

"Good night!"

The gentle night breeze drifted through the window as the night passed quietly.

「The next morning」

As sunlight streamed into the room, Zhao Dong opened his bleary eyes. The sound of someone washing up came from the bathroom. He scratched his head and called toward the bathroom, "When did you wake up?"

Lin Qingyun's familiar, cool, and calm voice replied, "Half an hour ago. You should get up and get ready. There's an important reception at noon, and you're coming with me."

Zhao Dong touched his nose but said nothing as he got up and tidied himself. A short while later, they went downstairs. Today, Lin Qingyun was wearing a black spaghetti-strap dress paired with stiletto Valentino heels. She looked tall, her bearing noble and enchanting.

"You look really beautiful," Zhao Dong praised sincerely.

Lin Qingyun glanced at him, her face blushing slightly. "Thank you for the compliment."

"No need to thank me."

The two left the villa and got into a white Bentley. After a short drive, Lin Qingyun parked the car at a mall. Puzzled, Zhao Dong asked, "Aren't we going to the reception? Why are we here?"

Lin Qingyun glanced at Zhao Dong and said flatly, "I'm taking you to buy some things. Your clothes are too shabby. You clearly don't know how to dress yourself."

Zhao Dong glanced down at his faded jeans and sneakers, then grinned. "My wife is so thoughtful."

A faint blush appeared on Lin Qingyun's pretty face. She shot Zhao Dong a glare but said nothing as they got out of the car and headed into the mall.
