Chapter 1377 - 1379
"Alright, you can look now." Zhao Xuran removed his hands from Gong Ruini’s eyes.
"Wow." Gong Ruini had been led to the poolside by Zhao Xuran all the way here, she knew it was supposedly a surprise for her.
When her eyes were covered by Zhao Xuran, Gong Ruini already guessed what the so-called surprise was.
And indeed, when she opened her eyes, what she was seeing in front of her really wasn’t much of a surprise, as what was "surprising" was within her expectations.
Gong Ruini kept silently complaining in her mind, despite the various surprise expressions on her face.
"Do you like it?" Even Zhao Xuran himself was a bit taken aback by the pool full of flower petals.
With an outdoor lamp, the light from the bedroom, and the moonlight from the sky, the pool full of petals did not look too stunningly beautiful to Zhao Xuran.
At this moment, Zhao Xuran’s thought was about how to handle the flower petals sticking to his body if he swam in it.
Zhao Xuran couldn’t understand why Ni Zi would want to do this.
"I like it." In two lifetimes, there has been only one man willing to go through all this trouble for her.
Even though he instructed someone to do it, he knew to have someone do it meant he understood what she wanted.
Gong Ruini excitedly jumped into Zhao Xuran’s embrace, holding his head, and kissed him passionately.
The wife’s sudden enthusiasm got Zhao Xuran quite excited. Though she could be quite enthusiastic at times, that was usually in specific situations and places.
Feeling the wife’s enthusiasm, Zhao Xuran responded to Gong Ruini’s passion without reservation.
With a splash, just when Zhao Xuran wanted to carry Gong Ruini back to the bedroom to continue, due to his excited state of mind, he lost his orientation and fell into the pool holding Gong Ruini.
What happened next had Zhao Xuran’s first thought wondering how he ended up in the water.
His second thought was being secretly thrilled. Guang Ran had told him something about this once or twice before, though back then he had posed as quite proper and not letting Guang Ran see any of his excitement or longing.
But Zhao Xuran knew in his heart he was looking forward to it; otherwise, why would he have instructed to put petals in the pool?
Not that Zhao Xuran thought they’d achieve everything on the first try, after all, he didn’t know how his wife would react - what if she wasn’t willing?
He didn’t expect that before he drummed up courage or tried coaxing, even heaven was helping him along.
With such a good opportunity, how could Zhao Xuran let it pass?
One must know that when people get enthusiastic, the physiological reactions follow, and reason or inappropriate places become non-issues.
The biggest problem now was simply following his heart.
Gong Ruini, initially quite frightened falling into the water, even though she could swim, someone holding onto her tightly without letting go made it hard to swim.
She tried hard to stand on the pool’s bottom for a little support, to feel a sense of grounding.
But no matter how hard Gong Ruini tried, she just didn’t have long legs, and could only cling tightly to Zhao Xuran.
Already overly excited Zhao Xuran, feeling his wife’s warmth, even though the pool’s water was chilling, lay down with a beauty, how could he remain calm?
When Gong Ruini regained her senses, she found her clothes still on but her skirt was gone.
As for Zhao Xuran’s pants, Gong Ruini rolled her eyes; just by looking she knew they were floating somewhere in the pool.
"You..."
"Was it something Guang Ran told you?" Even a man who’s already tasted meat, Gong Ruini didn’t think Zhao Xuran with his somewhat old-fashioned brain would have such an idea.
Right now, Gong Ruini finally recalling why back when she always felt Guang Ran’s suggestive grin when mentioning soaking in the pool.
Humph, it was definitely Guang Ran’s intentional arrangement, and Gong Ruini admitted that though this was how it was arranged, it was to her benefit.
But having such a dangerous element around her own man made Gong Ruini feel very uneasy.
What if Guang Ran imparted some unsavory ideas to Zhao Xuran in the future, given he had a tendency toward playboy behavior?
"That’s right." At this moment, Zhao Xuran didn’t want to hear any man’s name apart from his own out of his wife’s mouth, not even his brother, and certainly not his wife’s brother or sister.
"Right now, don’t mention anyone’s name unrelated to us." Zhao Xuran intensified his actions.
===
Gong Ruini woke up to find herself lying in bed, glanced at Zhao Xuran who was still sleeping soundly.
Her hand reached out to touch the stubbled face of this certain someone, "Gosh, looks ugly."
"But the skin’s still nice."
Gong Ruini couldn’t stop herself from poking his face repeatedly.
"Ah." Gong Ruini never expected this certain someone was pretending to sleep and actually pulled her hand into his mouth.
Not just pretending, he actually gave it a few bites.
"How could you bite me? My flesh isn’t tasty." Gong Ruini said puffing up her cheeks.
"Tasty, very tasty." Zhao Xuran knew his grip, would only leave a mark, not too painful, but a bit of pain.
Hmph, saying such colorful things first thing in the morning, Gong Ruini was quite amazed at this brother.
Finally understood why men should be divided into halves, one half for day and one half for night.
Right now, Zhao Xuran was still in his nighttime half, "I’ll eat you up whole."
Recalling last night, Gong Ruini’s face turned beet red.
Can’t think about it, really shouldn’t think about it, or it’ll be impossible to face anyone.
"We’ll have another go tonight." Zhao Xuran truly couldn’t let go of the thought.
"Ah, again?" Really? Gong Ruini admitted it was quite exciting, but it also took a lot of energy.
Either way, Gong Ruini felt quite exhausted, how did last night end, she had no concept.
"Yeah, I felt like you didn’t last till the end yesterday." Zhao Xuran insisted that for such wonderful events, experiencing it thoroughly from start to finish would be the best experience.
Seeing the earnest look on Zhao Xuran’s face discussing these plans, Gong Ruini didn’t know what to say.
Though she might have zoned out midway yesterday, it was enough for him to feast.
According to the routine, shouldn’t they rest for a few days? How could he still mention nighttime activities?
Right now Gong Ruini could feel her lower back aching slightly.
"How about we take a break today?" Gong Ruini thought about it and decided it was better to just admit exhaustion.
Can’t tell the man he should pace himself, that could hurt him.
To a man, such words are quite face-losing.
Even if his body’s tired, he’d push through, so it’s better to blame herself.
Certain things are nice to indulge in once, but Gong Ruini preferred steady endurance over fleeting passion.
Gong Ruini’s idea was good, but Zhao Xuran did not agree.
He pulled Gong Ruini over, "Rest assured, your man is strong."
"Anyway, we can’t let this holiday go to waste."
