Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Not Allowed to Be Lewd
He thought Han had inherited his genes.
His eyelashes are thick and long, but Han’s eyelashes are not only dense, but also naturally curly, which makes her eyes look watery and especially beautiful from a distance.
Lin Qi really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Are you lying here just to study my eyelashes?”
Huo Tingdong said: “You look especially beautiful when you’re asleep.”
Lin Qi was caught off guard, meeting his burning gaze, and couldn’t help but tuck her face into the blanket.
She discovered she couldn’t hold his gaze at all!
His eyes were too deep, too scorching.
Just a mere few seconds of eye contact made her heart race, and her blood flow quickened throughout her body.
There are two kinds of men in the world!
One kind is plainly ordinary yet particularly self-confident, so confident they’re somewhat greasy;
The other kind is like Huo Tingdong, unaware of his own handsomeness. He had no idea just how much of a “killer move” his gaze was. His stare left her so disturbed that she immediately hid under the covers.
“What’s wrong?”
The man reached out, lifting a corner of the blanket: “Did you have a nightmare?”
Lifting the corner of the blanket, he saw her humiliated and blushing face. Lin Qi pursed her lips, her eyes darting away, daring not to look directly into his eyes for fear of being captivated.
Huo Tingdong looked at her rosy cheeks and couldn’t help but feel a surge of tenderness, leaning down to gently kiss her lips.
Such a kiss turned out to be uncontrollable.
The feeling of kissing her was too wonderful.
He felt that it had been a long, long time since he had kissed her like this.
If not for the consideration that she was pregnant, that night they slept together, he might have completely devoured her.
For so long, he had been bitterly restraining himself, not daring to even kiss her, and now that the ban was broken, he found himself unsatisfied.
Huo Tingdong discarded his suit jacket, got into bed, and gently wrapped his arms around her. His strong arms formed barriers that imprisoned her, as he held her waist and kept her pressed close to him, unwilling to let go.
“Huo Tingdong…!”
Huo Tingdong corrected her somewhat displeasedly: “Call me husband!”
Lin Qi immediately raised her hands in surrender: “Okay… okay, husband… let’s talk nicely…”
She could feel his restless hands, and she quickly clasped his hands to stop his teasing movements.
Huo Tingdong, dissatisfied with her interference, advanced his offensive even further.
Lin Qi exclaimed, her hands pressed firmly against his chest: “What are you trying to do?”
Huo Tingdong raised his eyebrows with a meaningful smile: “I want to. Don’t you?”
Lin Qi: “…”
What kind of salacious words is this man spouting!?
Huo Tingdong uncontrollably kissed the corner of her lips, his doting tone mixing with a bit of coaxing, yet he asked bluntly: “Wife, don’t you want me?”
His voice was a typical baritone, with a cajoling tone, slightly husky, whispering like an orchid in her ear, making her heart feel like it was being tickled by a feather, all tingly.
Lin Qi felt her whole face was so hot it seemed to be steaming, so she pressed her entire face against his chest, murmured in a low voice: “Do I need to remind you? I’m pregnant, we… can’t… can’t be naughty!”
It was hard for her to voice out that sentence!
Upon hearing this, Huo Tingdong asked: “Are you saying that you want me to hold out for ten months?”
Lin Qi laughed and cried: “You’ve been abstinent for so long, what’s going to happen if you last another ten months?”
She dared not let him easily indulge, otherwise, there’s no telling if he’d become addicted like a maniac!
In fact, after they slept together, sharing the same bed, how could he possibly stay still? But now, it seems he couldn’t hold back any longer.
Huo Tingdong said: “That’s different.”
Lin Qi retorted: “What’s different about it?”
Huo Tingdong said, “I didn’t want to before, but now I do.”
He was notoriously work-obsessed, disliking anything that took up his precious work time.
But back then, she wasn’t in his life.
Now, sharing a bed with her every night, he’s like a boy tasting young fruit for the first time; just holding her can easily set his mind and heart racing.
Lin Qi lifted her head, cupped his handsome face, and kissed him soothingly, “Just wait a little longer. I’ve looked it up, and after the first three months of pregnancy, we can start… being intimate!”
Huo Tingdong teased, “Oh? You went and did research on that?”
Lin Qi, unable to withstand his teasing, her face instantly blushing to her ears, exclaimed, “You…!”
Huo Tingdong said, “Don’t you feel sorry for me? I’m enduring such hardship. If I behave well, do I get a reward?”
Lin Qi: “…” What reward could she give him?
And what reward did he want?
Lin Qi said both embarrassed and annoyed, “Why do I feel like the reward you want is somewhat wicked?”
Huo Tingdong said, “You guessed that too?”
He leaned down, his nose touching hers, “Then guess, what reward do I want?”
Lin Qi couldn’t figure out an answer on the spot: “I’ll give you two daughters as a reward.”
Huo Tingdong raised an eyebrow, “Oh? How can you be sure you’re carrying two daughters? What if it’s not daughters?”
Lin Qi said, “Then you’ll just have to leave it to fate!”
Huo Tingdong smiled playfully and suddenly whispered something in her ear. Lin Qi’s face gradually turned as red and hot as a cooked shrimp. “You…”
He actually wants that kind of reward!
Huo Tingdong said, “I only want this reward. Do you promise?”
Lin Qi bit her lip, “I… I promise…”
She seemed somewhat reluctant.
Yet Huo Tingdong was completely satisfied, holding her tight and repeatedly kissing her lips, finally calming down, “Okay, I’ll stop teasing you, let’s sleep, I’m going to take a shower.”
He released her, slowly stood up, and entered the bathroom.
As soon as he was in the bathroom, Lin Qi sat up in bed, her small hand covering her heart, visibly relieved.
She lay back down, wrapping herself tight in the blanket, and her heartbeat eventually steadied.
After Huo Tingdong finished his shower and dried his hair, he walked out of the bathroom. She immediately closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep, but he saw through her act at a glance.
When she pretends to sleep, she deliberately breathes loudly, whereas in fact, when she really sleeps, she doesn’t make a sound!
She must be faking it.
Huo Tingdong, with a smile, slowly lay down beside her, reached out his arms, and pulled her into his embrace, “Stop pretending, I promise I won’t get frisky with you tonight.”
Lin Qi: “…”
Help! How does he know she’s faking it?
…
The following morning.
When Lin Qi woke up, Huo Tingdong was already awake, yet he remained in the same position, holding her, unwilling to let go.
Noticing she was awake, he kissed her forehead, “Awake?”
“Mmm…” Only then did she realize she had been resting on his arm all night long.
“Is your arm numb?”
She had read a news story before where a wife slept on her husband’s arm all night, and the next day, the circulation in his arm was cut off which eventually led to amputation.
Huo Tingdong said, “I’m fine.”
As he spoke, he buried his face in the nape of her neck, nuzzling her and showing no intention of getting out of bed.
