Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Then Does Mr. Si Still Want Me to Wear That Dress for You?
Leaving the Tower in a hovercar, the two soon returned to the apartment Si Jin rented in the city.
The moment she stepped inside, the tension that had kept her nerves strung tight all day finally snapped. A wave of exhaustion washed over Yun Sheng, leaving her limbs feeling heavy and weak.
Standing in the entryway, she casually brushed her loose hair behind her ears and stretched her arms in a lazy, luxurious stretch that gave a fleeting glimpse of her slender waist. "I’m exhausted. Running around out there all day has left me completely drained, both physically and mentally. I’m going to take a shower and change first."
Bathed in the warm, golden glow of the apartment lights, Si Jin stood just a few steps away. His eyes brimmed with an unfathomable tenderness as he gazed fixedly at her. He walked over slowly and gently pinched her soft cheek, his tone thoroughly doting and indulgent.
"Do you want me to draw a bath for you?"
Yun Sheng blinked, a smile curving her lips, and readily accepted, "Sure." Since he was volunteering to help, there was no reason to foolishly tire herself out.
She headed straight for the walk-in closet, intending to grab a loose, comfortable set of loungewear. But as soon as she pushed the door open, her gaze was drawn to something hanging inside. The wardrobe doors were wide open, and right in the center hung a black, backless slip dress.
Yun Sheng’s eyes flickered with recognition. It was the exact same dress she had tried on when she was shopping with Li Wen and Cheng Nian. Arching an eyebrow, she abandoned her search for loungewear, turned on her heel, and marched straight toward the bathroom.
The bathroom door was slightly ajar. Si Jin stood by the bathtub, adjusting the water temperature. Yun Sheng padded softly over to him and quietly wrapped her arms around his firm waist, pressing her soft cheek against his broad, warm back.
"Someone is being a little sneaky. You weren’t even there when I tried that dress on at the mall. How did you know about it? And you even went ahead and bought it for me?"
Sensing her soft weight against his back, Si Jin instinctively relaxed his posture, shifting slightly so she could lean against him more comfortably.
"Dark Nest’s spies have been keeping a close eye on you. I can’t just let you completely out of my sight. Yun Sheng, if I’m not by your side and something actually happens, I wouldn’t be able to handle not being there immediately."
Yun Sheng poked him lightly in the spine, her smile deepening. "So you secretly followed me?" She tilted her head slightly, directly exposing his little scheme. "Don’t tell me you secretly bought this dress just to see me wear it exclusively for you?"
The moment the words left her mouth, Si Jin turned around, gripped her waist, and lifted her into his arms. Yun Sheng instinctively clamped her legs around his lean, powerful waist and looped her arms around his neck. The distance between them vanished, their breaths mingling in the tight space.
Si Jin lowered his gaze, locking onto her eyes. The tenderness in his expression receded slightly, replaced by an undisguised possessiveness as he openly admitted it.
"Yes. You looked stunning in that dress—absolutely breathtaking. But I don’t want anyone else to see you looking so alluring. I only want you to wear it in private, just for me."
Hearing this, Yun Sheng tipped her head back and cupped his face. She leaned forward, gently bumping her forehead against his with a playfully teasing tone. "Mr. Si, you’re way too scheming, and so incredibly bossy."
Si Jin had already reverted to his true appearance. His mesmerizing blue eyes stared at her without blinking. He lowered his voice, his breath hot against her skin as he asked, word by word, "Then, Miss Yun, do you like this scheming, bossy version of me?"
Looking at his handsome features so close to hers, Yun Sheng’s heart skipped a beat. A sly yet soft smile graced her lips. "I do. I like it very much!"
Those simple words acted like a fuse, instantly igniting the atmosphere between them.
Si Jin’s pupils constricted slightly, ripples of emotion stirring deep within his blue eyes as the air around him suddenly grew heavy. The arms supporting her waist tightened abruptly, crushing her tighter against his chest. Their bodies were pressed flush against each other, sharing their warmth with no space left between them.
Before he could make a move, Yun Sheng closed the remaining distance. Tilting her head up, she captured his cool lips with hers. Her soft lips parted against his, sweet and intoxicating, offering a direct response to all of his possessiveness. She was silently telling him that it was okay for him to harbor such thoughts and possessiveness—there was nothing wrong with it.
Si Jin froze for barely half a second before immediately seizing control. He cupped her bottom with one hand while sliding the other up to the nape of her neck, his fingers weaving into her hair to hold the back of her head as he leaned in to deepen the kiss.
The warm steam rising in the bathroom mingled with their heavy breaths, pushing the charged, intimate atmosphere to its absolute peak. His kiss was more fervent than ever before, pouring out all his unspoken feelings, selfish desires, and blatant favoritism. Hanging onto him, Yun Sheng surrendered the pace to him, completely losing herself in their scorching intimacy.
A long time passed before Si Jin finally pulled away. His breathing was heavy, his voice dark and raspy. "Shengsheng, you’ll be the death of me."
Yun Sheng’s cheeks were flushed, her eyes shimmering with moisture as she smiled—a look that was both cunning and endearingly soft. "So, does Mr. Si still want me to model that dress for him?"
With those words, the last remnants of Si Jin’s rationality shattered a little more. He stared at the swollen lips of the woman in his arms. His blue eyes darkened ominously as his Adam’s apple bobbed hard.
"Yes."
That single word was laden with a searing, burning possessiveness.
Without giving Yun Sheng a chance to react, Si Jin spun around and carried her straight out of the bathroom. Yun Sheng instinctively tightened her hold on his neck, resting her chin on his shoulder. Her breath brushed lightly against the side of his neck as she nestled obediently in his arms.
He carried her into the walk-in closet. The warm white light illuminated the striking black slip dress hanging in the center of the wardrobe. Setting her gently down on the plush carpet, he reached out and took the dress off the hanger with one hand, his eyes burning as he looked at her.
"Turn around."
Yun Sheng obediently complied, turning her back to him, her spine completely rigid. The small, enclosed space of the closet was quiet; the only sound was their overlapping breathing.
Si Jin pressed against her back. His warm breath ghosted over her bare nape as his fingertips landed lightly on her shoulders. With soft, restrained movements, he began to slowly peel away her outer layer of clothing. Yun Sheng’s back stiffened slightly. Every nerve in her body grew hypersensitive; each brush of his skin sent a tiny tremor shivering through her core.
Only after removing her clothes did Si Jin lift the black slip dress, gently draping the cool fabric over her shoulders. Standing behind her, he used an extremely light touch, patiently helping her slip her arms through the thin straps one by one. The occasional, unintentional caress of his cool fingertips against her delicate skin sent waves of tingling electricity shooting straight down her spine.
Yun Sheng instinctively clutched the fabric at her front, her ears burning red.
Once the straps were securely in place, Si Jin leaned down. He hooked one arm around her waist, gently pulling her back against his chest, while his other hand grasped the invisible zipper at the back of the dress. Slowly, methodically, he pulled it up inch by inch.
