When Lin Qing opened his slightly heavy eyes, the first thing he saw was that familiar handsome face, handsome eyebrows, firm thin lips, and high nose bridge. Lin Qing couldn't help but stretch out his hand and touch his face with warm fingertips.
"Awake?" Mu Li's voice was a little hoarse, hiding a bit of fatigue. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms. Lin Qing was stretching out her hand, and her delicate fingers were almost touching his face.
"Awake." Lin Qing lowered his eyes and was about to take his hand back.
Mu Li grabbed her hand, held it tightly with his large palm, and pressed it against his face: "Why don't you touch me anymore?"
"No, I didn't want to touch it." Lin Qing wanted to pull his hand back, but failed after struggling.
"Are you still shy now?" Mu Li chuckled. God knows how happy he was the moment she woke up. The uncontrollable emotions in his heart filled his lungs. He almost picked up Lin Qing and turned her around twice.
"No." Lin Qing pursed her lips and said after thinking, "I just woke up and I'm still a little dizzy."
Mu Li frowned when he heard this. Lin Qing was resting her head on one of his arms. He turned over slightly and pressed Lin Qing under his body. He looked nervous, "Where are you dizzy?"
Lin Qing looked at his face so close to her, and felt as if she were in a dream. She blinked her eyes, and suddenly felt a little bitter: "Isn't this a dream?"
If this was a dream, it would be too cruel.
Mu Li's dark eyes darkened, avoiding her inquiry, and curled his lips: "Do you think dreams are so real?"
As he spoke, he leaned over and kissed her soft lips with his thin lips. Her kiss was cool with a hint of warmth, a fragrance that belonged only to her at that time.
Lin Qing was almost unable to breathe due to his kiss. She closed her eyes lightly, responding to the deep penetration of his lips and falling into the deep entanglement.
He kissed her deeply and intently, his breathing gradually becoming heavier, and his hot breath ignited a certain emotion between them that could set the whole field ablaze in an instant.
His palm slid into her clothes, and Lin Qing noticed that he had changed her into pajamas. The material of the pajamas was very soft, and it was very comfortable against her body.
The kiss on her lips gradually moved down, leaving marks of varying depths on her fair neck. His movements were fanatical and overbearing, leaving her no chance to breathe.
Lin Qing almost drowned in this kiss.
"Do you still think this is a dream?" Mu Li raised his head from in front of her. The burning heat in his eyes could burn her to death. The corners of his lips curved into a seductive arc. "Or is this also in your dream?"
Lin Qing's whole body was limp, she was already weak, and now her chest was rising and falling with her breathing. She was slightly stunned when she saw Mu Li's smile, and she almost thought she was seeing things.
"No, there wasn't anything in the dream..." She suddenly fell silent halfway through her words and stared at Mu Li for a long time.
The peace between them at this moment is so beautiful that people can't bear to break it.
How nice it would be if she didn't remember anything
A series of questions in her mind were stuck in her throat, and she opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.
"It doesn't matter, we can make it." Mu Li lowered his head and buried it in her neck, sniffing lightly with the tip of his nose. After she fell asleep last night, Mu Li held her to take a bath. At this moment, her soft body smelled fragrant.
"What to create?" Lin Qing was so deprived of oxygen from the kiss that his mind was still a little unclear.
Mu Li kissed her neck deeply, igniting a slight tremor in her agility, and pecked her earlobe with his thin lips: "Child."
Lin Qing's vision blurred instantly.
A child is the best gift between a husband and wife, and it is also the gift she has always wanted to give to Mu Li.
But now, can she still want it
"Don't want it?" Mu Li narrowed his black eyes dangerously, his nose touching hers, his voice low and charming.
The word "want" lingered in her throat, but like the other words, it was stuck and could not be uttered.
She raised her head slightly, looked into those deep eyes, and suddenly remembered what he said that day -
"Lin Qing is no longer my wife."
Lin Qing's whole body trembled slightly.
"What's wrong?" Mu Li noticed the strangeness in her eyes, and lifted her chin with his slender fingers. Lin Qing did not answer, and his lips covered hers.
Lin Qing felt confused and didn't know what to do. Should she pretend that she didn't know, or should she ask Mu Li for clarification
In a trance, her lips had been conquered, and the suffocating kiss of invasion disturbed her heart. But that sentence was infinitely magnified in her heart, and she could not ignore it anyway. She subconsciously clenched her teeth, and a warm feeling came out of the tip of her tongue, and the fishy smell spread between their lips and teeth.
Mu Li's tongue was bitten, and he groaned, but he entangled with her more and more closely. Lin Qing couldn't catch her breath, and her originally pale face was stained with a blush. She broke away from Mu Li's hand and pushed towards his shoulder, pushing against his chest without letting him be violated.
Mu Li then stepped back and looked down at her, his eyes hazy. His long legs squeezed between her legs, his hot and hard body pressed against her.
"I feel a little uncomfortable, please stop pressing on me." The words rolled on the tip of his tongue several times, and finally changed its taste. Lin Qing was a little discouraged about his own cowardice. His eyes dimmed, and he still pushed Mu Li with his hand.
"Is it uncomfortable because I'm pressing on you?" Mu Li's voice had become hoarse with the passion, and he could clearly feel her rejection when he was pushed away.
And he knew very well why.
But he didn't want to tell Lin Qing this. When Lin Qing was unconscious, he even wanted to hide her here forever so that she would never hear those hurtful words again.
However, he couldn't hide it no matter what, but at least at this moment, he wanted to maintain this moment of peace.
No one wanted to break this moment.
Lin Qing said nothing, lowered her eyes, and her long and thick eyelashes cast a shadow.
After a long time, Mu Li sighed softly as if in surrender, turned over and lay on his side on the bed. His breathing was still a little heavy, and the desire in his eyes took a long time to dissipate.
"You're really good at grinding people."
Lin Qing naturally understood what he meant, but she really didn't want to do it now. Whenever she thought of that sentence, her heart ached so much that she even lost the courage to question him.
As long as no one tells anything, maybe they can go back to their previous lives.
She had a moment of luck like this.
But can they really get over it
After a long silence, the heat in the air gradually dissipated, and Lin Qing finally opened his mouth: "Mu Li, I know that what happened to Lu Xiao was done by senior."
Mu Li's eyelids twitched. The side-lying position allowed him to see Lin Qing clearly. She did not have any emotional ups and downs. She spoke very calmly. Her clear eyes showed apology to Lu Xiao and indifference to Chen Qudong.
Her tone became much more distant when she mentioned Chen Qudong.
"So, how do you want to make it up to me?" Mu Li propped up his head with one hand. The collar of his white shirt looked messy because of his previous excitement, and one or two buttons were unbuttoned at some point.
Lin Qing hadn't thought of this yet. She frowned slightly, and resisted in her heart: "Let's make up for it... We'll talk about it later, okay?"
"Why talk about it later?" Mu Li seemed to want to hold on to her today, looking at her with a half-smile.
Lin Qing didn't know how to answer this question, so he simply avoided it: "Why didn't you come to me the first time?"
Mu Li was silent for a moment.
In order to catch those people related to the Liang family, he could contain the Liang family in one fell swoop. As he expected, the people he caught last night were indeed related to the Liang family's black market transactions. As long as he followed the clues, he would soon find a bigger clue behind it.
Last night he brought Lin Qing back alone, and the others were taken back to the army by their adjutant. Liang Ruoyi was sent back to the Liang family. When Liang's father saw Liang Ruoyi holding Chen Qudong who was shot, his face instantly turned dark and he almost kicked Liang Ruoyi out of the Liang family.
Zheng Yan still escaped, and Mu Li did not investigate whether his subordinates did it on purpose. Zheng Yan was too worried and resentful, and only he could figure it out, and no one could help him.
Mu Li did not pursue the matter any further and left the rest of the matter to his adjutant so that no one could disturb him.
Mu Li's silence made Lin Qing feel empty. She pursed her lips and said, "You found me, but you didn't bring me back right away?"
She asked again, trembling unconsciously.
"Lin Qing, you are my woman, but I failed to protect you." Mu Li's breath was very heavy, and he clenched his fists. "Will you hate me?"
Lin Qing thought of what happened on the balcony, and the corners of his lips curved up: "Didn't you send someone to protect me?"
Her eyes were slightly empty, and Mu Li took them all in.
Mu Li felt a sharp stab in the eye, and his heart seemed to be hit hard by a thick vine, the pain was so severe that he couldn't breathe.
When did his Lin Qing learn to hide his emotions and disguise himself so well
He didn't want to see her like this.
In his memory, she could always show her true emotions to him, whether she was crying or making a fuss, she was always the most genuine in front of him.
But now, she actually concealed it.
"Lin Qing, I know you hate me. At least at that moment, you hated me very much." Mu Li took a deep breath. He wanted to reach out and touch her face, but his fingertips suddenly stopped when they rested on the corners of her lips that were faintly smiling.
He finally understood how Lin Qing felt when she stopped touching his fingers.
So close, yet so far away.
Lin Qing shook his head and disagreed: "No, I will never hate you, Mu Li, never."
But he would rather she hated him.
At least it was a way for her to vent her emotions on him.
The most terrifying thing is not hating anymore.
"So, do you still love me?"
Lin Qing narrowed his eyes, his clear eyes hiding an unseen emotion: "Love."
How could she not love
This man was the one she was willing to give her life for. How could she not love him at this moment
Even if he hurt her, lost her, and pushed her away, she still couldn't help loving him.
The hands that were extended to him were destined to be impossible to take back.
A long time later, when Lin Qing recalled these thoughts, a faint smile could still appear on her lips, but she never reached out to that man again, nor did she stand there waiting for him again.
They were too far apart from each other, and they didn't know when they lost the courage to be with each other. Even if they slept in each other's arms, they couldn't find the feeling they once had.
It is enough for a dream to be beautiful.
When Mu Li heard her still soft voice utter this word, there was no smile in his eyes anymore.
"Lin Qing, I love you."
Lin Qing's eyes were red. Why were they always one step late
They were only separated for less than three days, but it seemed like they missed a lot, so much that Lin Qing couldn't bear the burden.
