After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Chapter 57 Can You Really Trick Me?

Lu Zhaozhao bowed her head and slowly leaned in towards him, the breath from her nose drawing ever closer, lightly brushing against her lips.

Watching Song Sinian become more and more willing to express himself to her, her chest became exceptionally tender, as if it would shatter with a mere touch.

She moved closer to him slowly, like a dragonfly skimming the water’s surface, she kissed him once and was about to pull away when her neck was suddenly caught by a large hand.

Song Sinian didn’t give her a chance to escape, he pressed her down with one hand, while the other effortlessly wrapped around her waist.

Their warm breaths intermingled, and Lu Zhaozhao could clearly feel Song Sinian’s breath growing heavier and deeper.

Mixed with his refreshing, subtle scent, it enveloped her completely.

Song Sinian’s large hand gently caressed the delicate vulnerability of her neck, beneath his fine touch was a pulsing, throbbing pulse.

One by one, it beat, “thump-thump” against the pads of his fingers.

This feeling of having everything under control made something swell slightly within him, and Song Sinian’s lips couldn’t help but press down a bit harder.

“Mmm…” Her soft whimper fell into his ear, like a milk cat drenched by the fine rain on a rainy night.

It struck straight to the heart, inciting a tender fondness.

Lu Zhaozhao, clearly holding the advantageous position, was almost overwhelmed by Song Sinian’s aggressive approach.

Her head spun, her legs went weak, and she fell into his embrace.

In the midst of her panic, she instinctively clasped his neck tighter, and although she successfully separated from him, she gasped for air in Song Sinian’s arms, looking utterly petrified.

Song Sinian’s fingertips gently brushed her somewhat moist eye corners, the hint of redness at the edges of her eyes quickened his heartbeat even more.

His dark eyes slightly lowered, he glanced at his fingertip, “I always feel that it would be lovely to listen to you cry.”

“???”

Huh? What kind of ruthless words were those?

Before Lu Zhaozhao had time to ponder whether Song Sinian’s recent words carried any ambiguity, his lips gently landed on the corner of her eye.

“Sometimes, when your eyes are red they look very lovely,” Song Sinian said, and kissed her other eye.

“…”

Lu Zhaozhao blinked in confusion, why did it seem like Mr. Song’s remarks were becoming increasingly dangerous?

Was there something wrong with the way she taught him to express himself?

While Lu Zhaozhao was still self-examining, Song Sinian took hold of her small hand.

He gently kissed her wrist, looked at her seriously, and asked word by word, “Did I do a good job?”

“…”

Ah!!! She was going to die! This was definitely a critical hit!

And utterly merciless!

Although his words sounded strange, from Song Sinian’s perspective, they probably weren’t a problem!

Well, probably…

She decisively nodded her head, against her better judgment, “You did a great job!”

Song Sinian’s cheek rubbed against her palm, “Then, can I ask for a reward again?”

His gaze was so earnest, it made it difficult for Lu Zhaozhao to refuse.

So she had no choice but to nod stiffly, without daring to meet Song Sinian’s eyes.

Suddenly, her chin was lifted, Song Sinian’s burning gaze fixed on her, “This time, can I choose my own reward, is that okay?”

“…”

Oh, God, she was about to be flirted into cardiac bypass surgery!!!

Looking at Song Sinian, who was still awaiting her response, Lu Zhaozhao’s fingertips trembled ever so slightly.

She nodded gently, and immediately, Song Sinian’s lips were upon hers again.

This time, he seemed to have shed some of his restraint, purposely pushing her to the brink as if to watch her looking pitiful, with watery eyes nestled in his embrace.

Lu Zhaozhao leaned into Song Sinian’s embrace, the rise and fall of his chest brought her a significant amount of calm.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was off. She furrowed her brows slightly and fixed her gaze on Song Sinian, “Hmph! I have reason to suspect you’re trying to steal kisses on purpose…”

The light in Song Sinian’s dark pupils flickered, and he countered with his own question instead of answering, “So, you’re saying kisses can be stolen?”

“You can’t!” Lu Zhaozhao immediately rejected the notion without a second thought.

It seemed like teaching Song Sinian how to express his emotions had opened the door to a strange new world.

If he learned how to steal kisses, wouldn’t that be the end of it?

With Song Sinian’s intelligence, he could crush her in minutes, leaving no trace behind!

After all, he was not expressive, not foolish.

Lu Zhaozhao looked at Song Sinian nervously, wanting to divert his thoughts from this matter, so she decisively changed the subject.

“I… I heard you’re going to the Song Mansion recently?”

Upon hearing Lu Zhaozhao’s words, Song Sinian suddenly became still.

The Song Mansion was not a pleasant place for him, so he avoided going back unless it was necessary.

He was even more reluctant to take Lu Zhaozhao back with him.

Besides, that place also housed Xiao Jinglan.

Just the thought of her darkened Song Sinian’s expression.

Lu Zhaozhao noticed the change in Song Sinian’s face and tilted her head to look at him, “You don’t want to go back?”

If it had been in her past life, she definitely would have thought that Song Sinian’s silence meant he did not want to take her to the Song Mansion, thinking perhaps that her status was not presentable enough.

But in this life, she would never think along those lines.

Although she didn’t fully understand Song Sinian yet, she wouldn’t misunderstand him as she had before.

Song Sinian rested his forehead on Lu Zhaozhao’s shoulder, murmuring in a low voice, “I just don’t want to be apart from you for so long.”

Going to the Song Mansion for Old Master Song’s birthday meant that he would have to stay there overnight.

The thought of not being able to hold Lu Zhaozhao in his sleep made him feel quite unsettled.

Very, very irritable.

“???”

Lu Zhaozhao had considered many reasons but never thought Mr. Song’s reason would be this.

She couldn’t help but laugh softly, about to say she could accompany Song Sinian to the Song Mansion.

But then it occurred to her, could it be that he hadn’t thought to take her? Certainly not. She guessed Song Sinian was still bothered by the last incident involving Xiao Jinglan’s poisoning.

She gently embraced Song Sinian and patted his back, “Then… how about I make it up to you when you get back?”

Clearly, Song Sinian was intrigued by the suggestion.

His eyes moved slightly, staring intently at Lu Zhaozhao, and he asked very seriously, “How would you make it up?”

Lu Zhaozhao tilted her head thoughtfully, “Mmm… like, maybe I could stick to you all day long? Wherever you go, I’ll follow? How about following you to work and back?”

Although the likelihood was low, considering Old Master Song might have an accident and end up hospitalized before his 80th birthday.

Even if she intervened, she might not be able to prevent it.

But she couldn’t tell Song Sinian that, especially since she wasn’t sure whether Old Master Song would make the same choices in this life as he did in the previous one.

After all, many things had changed significantly in this life because of her choices.

So, she could only suggest conditions that he would accept.

Song Sinian’s palm rested on the cool small of Lu Zhaozhao’s back, the soft touch clinging to his hand, and listening to Lu Zhaozhao’s words made his heart tremble slightly…
