Chapter 174: Chapter 138: Doll vs. Daji, Part 3
"You’re the only good man I know—the only one I can truly trust."
"I saw the painting Xiao Yu drew. She relies on you like a father. I’m not asking you to be exclusively with me, and I don’t need any material support from you. All I ask is that you’re serious when we’re together."
Gao Yuan couldn’t help but be moved by Xiao Xiao’s words, which were practically a confession.
The woman before him was impeccable in every way—her figure, her looks, even her wealth.
How could Gao Yuan possibly refuse Xiao Xiao’s bold confession tonight?
Gao Yuan released Xiao Xiao’s hand. With a faint smile, she gently slipped out of her Santa outfit and let it fall to the floor.
Looking at Xiao Xiao’s near-perfect figure, even though her body held no more secrets for him, Gao Yuan was still captivated by her perfection.
Xiao Xiao slowly placed her hands on Gao Yuan, her eyes filled with bliss as she caressed his solid chest through his shirt.
Her hands gradually moved up, past his neck, and cupped his cheeks. She stared into his eyes for a moment before slowly closing her own.
Gazing at Xiao Xiao’s slightly pursed red lips, Gao Yuan pulled her firmly by the waist, pressing their bodies tightly together.
Her lips were cool to the touch, carrying the faint aroma of wine.
Gao Yuan kissed her for a moment, then, with a soft gasp from Xiao Xiao, he scooped her up into his arms.
"You rogue, what are you going to do to Daji!" Xiao Xiao purred, her gaze hazy.
"Take Daji, of course!"
As Xiao Xiao laughed playfully, Gao Yuan tossed her onto the large, soft bed. She barely had time to sit up before he was on top of her, pinning her down.
At that moment,
they both cast off their masks of restraint, surrendering to the fire within.
Completely free from the constraints of their clothing, they embraced tightly, each able to feel the other’s heart pounding wildly.
Their passion was about to ignite.
Xiao Xiao suddenly pushed Gao Yuan off her. "Close your eyes. I have a Christmas present for you."
"I don’t want a present. I want you, right now."
Gao Yuan tried to pull her back down, but she was already on her feet.
"You need to listen to me!"
"Be good now. Close your eyes."
At that moment, Gao Yuan felt an aura about her that compelled him to obey, even though her voice remained exceptionally gentle.
Gao Yuan finally gave in and obediently closed his eyes.
"Hehe, no peeking!"
As she spoke, Xiao Xiao slipped a cool silk blindfold over Gao Yuan’s eyes.
The moment the blindfold was on, he felt something wet and warm tracing a path down his body—from his cheek to his chin, then his neck, and down over his chest to his navel.
An exquisitely pleasant sensation spread through him, reaching every part of his mind.
"Do you like it?" Xiao Xiao whispered, her breath warm against his ear.
"Mm."
’It really is amazing. Xiao Xiao’s oral skills have improved so much since last time.’
Waves of tingling pleasure shot through him like an electric current, leaving him breathless.
Gao Yuan couldn’t take it anymore.
He acted on instinct, reaching out to pull Xiao Xiao into his arms.
The next moment, a series of sharp gasps filled the room.
...
「3:00 AM.」
Gao Yuan had already showered three times that night.
After his shower, he sat on the edge of the bed while Xiao Xiao watched him from where she lay.
"Go on, head back."
Xiao Xiao wasn’t just good at undressing a man; she was good at understanding him, too.
When Gao Yuan didn’t get back into bed after his shower, she knew what he was planning. As much as she wanted him to stay, she didn’t ask him to.
Xiao Xiao gave him the code to her door. "Come back at six in the morning," she said.
Gao Yuan understood what she meant by this.
She was willing to let him go for the night, but she still wanted him to give Xiao Yu a little more of his affection.
’That’s a mother for you!’
Gao Yuan nodded and silently started to get dressed.
’He really wished he could just make their relationships clear to everyone. This whole back-and-forth was exhausting.’
’If he went back now, he’d only get a few hours of sleep before he had to wake up again.’
"This must be hard on you."
Once he was dressed, Gao Yuan leaned over, kissed her gently on the forehead, and said softly.
Xiao Xiao looked at Gao Yuan and nodded.
’Strictly speaking, she was the newcomer, the one taking a piece of the love that should have belonged to Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing.’
But,
’for Xiao Xiao, she had already gone as far as she could.’
’Her confession tonight was her way of telling Gao Yuan that she had made her decision.’
’The rest was up to Gao Yuan to figure out.’
Gao Yuan returned home.
Thankfully, Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing were still sound asleep.
He quietly undressed and slipped under the covers. Neither of the women stirred.
Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and gradually drifted off to sleep.
At a little after five, Gao Yuan’s alarm woke him.
Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing really didn’t feel like getting up to exercise, so Gao Yuan didn’t wake them.
He left them a message on their phones and headed to the 26th floor.
He opened the door and went into the bedroom. Xiao Xiao was still asleep.
He slipped back under the covers.
This time, with nothing weighing on his mind, Gao Yuan fell into a deep sleep.
Before long, he started snoring, which woke Xiao Xiao.
Awake now, Xiao Xiao looked at Gao Yuan snoring loudly beside her and reached out to stroke his cheek.
’He’s really had a rough night.’
’But she didn’t have a choice.’
’After they got back to Shanghai at noon, Xiao Yu had been clamoring to spend Christmas with Gao Yuan.’
’Left with no other choice, she had to get permission for Xiao Yu to miss school and bring her to Hang City.’
’It was clear Xiao Yu had been looking forward to this Christmas. Xiao Xiao could tell her daughter had been much happier lately; every time they chatted, Gao Yuan’s name would come up.’
’For her daughter’s sake, she had to put Gao Yuan in this difficult position.’
’But seeing how exhausted he was now, Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but wonder: should she go talk to the two girls downstairs?’
’After a moment’s thought, she dismissed the idea.’
’Doing that would probably put Gao Yuan in an even worse dilemma.’
’Judging by his actions, he wasn’t prepared to give up on the other two women, which meant they still held an important place in his heart.’
’Since that plan wouldn’t work, her thoughts returned to Gao Yuan himself.’
’How could she help him?’
’Xiao Yu was conceived through IVF; Gao Yuan was her first man!’
’She knew all about Gao Yuan’s business ventures. She even held some shares in the L’Oreal Company and had recently heard whispers that L’Oreal had taken notice of his brand.’
’Knowing L’Oreal’s usual tactics, as long as Yuanfang Company kept up its current momentum, L’Oreal was bound to respond with their own strategy.’
’Whether through normal business competition or through smear campaigns and other attacks, they wouldn’t let Yuanfang grow so easily.’
’Gao Yuan was about to face enormous pressure.’
’This was no time to be adding to his problems.’
