Chapter 1484 The Hard Demeanor of A Soldier
When she is done visiting her grandfather…
Li Jinnan carefully dissected that statement. Only when he was sure that there was no loophole in her words did he nod his head and give his consent. “OK.”
Ye Youyou suddenly felt as if she had been released from prison. The source of the emotion was inexplicable, but her heart felt happy, nonetheless, and she immediately relaxed.
When Li Jinnan saw the change in her expression, he stood up and leaned in to her. “Why do I get the feeling that I’m being tricked?”.
“No… That’s impossible.” Ye Youyou gave it a second thought before declaring, “That’s not the case at all.”
Li Jinnan nodded his head meaningfully and said, “In other words, you’re discarding me after using me?”
After using me…
Ye Youyou blushed and glared at him as she said, “I did not! I wasn’t even the one who asked for it in the first place!”
“Weren’t you?” Li Jinnan leaned even closer. He lowered his voice as he asked, “Can you wholeheartedly say…” His hand came to rest on top of her heart as he continued, “That really wasn’t the case?”
With his hand pressing against her breast, Ye Youyou’s face reddened even further.
It was fine when he did it last night, but we are currently in broad daylight!
She denied it immediately. “Of course it wasn’t!”
Li Jinnan raised his eyebrows. He tilted her chin up and leaned in to kiss her squarely on her lips.
His kissing skills were becoming more sophisticated. His kiss easily awakened the lust in her. Ye Youyou reached out to hold him, welcoming his kiss.
This heady feeling of addiction felt wrong and enjoyable at the same time. Drowning in her unrestrained passion, Ye Youyou felt an indescribable sense of pleasure sweeping through her that couldn’t be ignored.
Li Jinnan’s body tensed. When Ye Youyou began to move, he quickly released her.
Her eyes were still glazed over. When she looked up at him, there was disappointment in them.
Li Jinnan rubbed his jaw and asked her, “Do you want it?”
Ye Youyou jerked back in shock before she regained her senses. He was taking revenge on her for her previous words. Annoyance flashed on her face.
She stuck her leg out and kicked him off. “No! Get lost!” she declared.
Li Jinnan laughed. With a twist of his body, he burrowed under the covers and held her in his arms as he said, “But, I do.”
…
They packed their bags and headed straight to the airport. When they landed in Kingstown, it was daytime.
The sun in the afternoon was especially harsh. It was perfect for an afternoon nap.
Li Jinnan took Ye Youyou back to the apartment before heading over to the old manor.
Ye Youyou had gone to visit her grandfather. Li Jinnan felt like visiting his grandfather too.
Captain Li Xun was getting on in age, and his health was deteriorating. As he watched his grandchildren running around, the smile that appeared on his face made his age even more pronounced. Each time Li Jinnan met him, his wrinkles would deepen even further.
Li Jinnan put out his cigarette before ringing the doorbell. Liu Sao answered the door,
When she saw that it was Li Jinnan, her face lit up as she exclaimed, “Captain Li was just talking about you, and you’re back! Come on in!”
Liu Sao took Li Jinnan’s luggage from him and said, “Captain Li has been taking Chinese medicine lately. I spent half the day brewing this medication for him, but he just refuses to drink it. Please help me persuade him.”
“OK,” Li Jinnan replied.
“The medicine is being kept warm in the kitchen,” Liu Sao said. “Go get it.”
He obeyed. He soon brought the bowl of medicine to his grandfather’s room, but Li Xun wasn’t in the room. Li Jinnan made a detour to the study.
Li Xun wasn’t in the study either. Li Jinnan finally found him in the garden.
Upon hearing movement behind him, Captain Li Xun turned his head around. When he saw that it was Li Jinnan, he smiled until his eyes became two narrow crescents. In a hoarse voice, he slowly stated, “You’re back!”
Captain Li was old, but his back remained straight as a rod. This was the hard demeanor of a soldier.
