Chapter 1240: Chapter 1240
"You’re back."
Opening the door, Lin Yifan smiled at Shen Shiyao, who was standing at the entrance.
Before he finished speaking, she had already flung herself into his arms like the wind.
Her slender arms tightly wrapped around his neck.
Before he could ask again, her luscious lips had already bitten Lin Yifan’s lips.
In the dim lighting, Shen Shiyao had never been so proactive.
Entangling herself wantonly, she wished she could melt into Lin Yifan’s mouth.
It wasn’t until she could no longer breathe that she stopped.
But her whole body still pressed against Lin Yifan’s chest.
"Who bullied you?"
Lin Yifan pinched Shen Shiyao’s chin, gently lifting her stunning face.
Her red and swollen eyes and bloodshot eyeballs proved she had cried intensely.
"Give me five minutes."
Shen Shiyao dodged Lin Yifan’s hand and turned to walk inside.
The room was a suite. Crossing the hall, she stepped into the bedroom.
Watching the door slowly close, Lin Yifan’s expression turned icy.
He roughly guessed something.
"Ring ring ring..."
The phone rang, and Lin Yifan pressed the answer button and walked to the balcony.
"Grandpa Zhang, do you need something?"
"The matter is already settled, but earlier I cast a hexagram, and the divination warns of danger to my life. Though the threat is minor, my calculations suggest it’s because Li Fengnian’s second brother has returned. Everyone thinks Li Fengnian holds power in the Li Family, but the real mastermind is the second brother, Li Fengchun. I’ve met him once; this man is shrewd, ruthless, definitely not a kind one. He’s been mingling in Shangjing for years, considered one of the Shen Family’s key members."
Grandpa Zhang’s voice was forceful over the phone.
"You should know, if you move forward, you may be caught up in an endless aristocratic conflict. Money is akin to a prehistoric beast, devouring everything without mercy. Whether it’s a blessing or a curse, nobody can guarantee. To avoid fame and fortune, your grandpa kept a low profile, thus ensuring half a lifetime of peace. Think carefully about how to choose..."
As the call ended, Lin Yifan took a deep breath of the cold air.
A pair of eyes as sharp as a tiger’s, exuding a chilling aura.
The information from Grandpa Zhang, coupled with Shen Shiyao’s earlier behavior.
He knew something must have happened.
"Yifan, come here!"
Behind him, the bedroom door slowly opened.
Shen Shiyao, wrapped in a bathrobe, leaned against the door frame.
The dim light illuminated Shen Shiyao’s face.
Her jet-black hair with droplets of water proves she had just taken a bath.
Though her exquisite body was covered by the loose bathrobe, her blushing face was particularly alluring.
"Shiyao, are you hiding something from me?"
Lin Yifan walked up, asking softly.
"Please, don’t ask anything tonight."
Shen Shiyao stepped forward, covering Lin Yifan’s mouth.
Her watery eyes were shimmering.
"Ever since you risked everything for me, I fell hopelessly in love with you. I never imagined meeting such a brave man. That day on the mountain, when you diverted the black bear to save me, I decided that in this lifetime, I would only marry you. Remember, you’re the only true love of my life."
Lin Yifan removed her soft little hand, intending to speak.
But in the next moment, Shen Shiyao’s bathrobe slid off her fragrant shoulders onto the ground.
With a shy face, she bit her red lips and bowed her head slightly, her stunning face seemingly about to drip water.
Beneath her fair neck were clavicles like wine glasses, and round shoulders, eye-catching.
Her right arm slightly bent, shyly covering the looming peaks.
Years of exercise, coupled with her already tall stature, made her body appear even tighter.
A waist, slender yet nearly perfectly curved.
Two straight, fair legs, elegantly slender.
Her fair feet, delicate and lovely.
"Be my man... take me."
Accelerated heartbeat made Shen Shiyao’s cheeks burning hot.
Her breath exuding an orchid fragrance, she weakly collapsed in Lin Yifan’s arms.
Smelling the intoxicating body fragrance, feeling the heated body.
Far-red lips were within reach, impossible to refuse.
Lin Yifan did not speak but instead picked Shen Shiyao up in his arms like a princess.
The soft she curled up against Lin Yifan’s chest like a kitten.
"Am I dreaming?"
Even after being gently placed on the bed, Shen Shiyao still felt it unreal.
Looking at Lin Yifan’s sharp eyes and brows.
She anticipated so much, yet was so pained.
Finally set to be his woman, but perhaps the only time in this life.
"If it’s a dream, would you want to wake up?"
Lin Yifan gently leaned down, whispering in her ear.
"I’ll remember forever, every minute, every second we spent together, every action. If meeting you is just a grand dream, I’d rather sleep for a lifetime, never waking up."
Shen Shiyao tightly gripped the sheets, biting her lips.
To give herself to her beloved, she had no regrets in life.
"I also promise, if you sincerely love me, I won’t let you down. Even if the sky collapses, or sun and moon lose brightness, I won’t allow anyone to harm you."
Gently caressing Shen Shiyao’s face, Lin Yifan softly spoke.
"I... believe you."
Shen Shiyao wanted to say more, but her eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
She struggled to keep them open, yet ultimately, only darkness filled her vision.
Pulling the blanket over her, Lin Yifan finally got up and left the bedroom.
Now, his expression turned grave.
Standing on the balcony, he lit a cigarette, taking a deep puff.
Slightly raising his head, looking at the round moon in the sky, he remained silent for a long time.
"Grandpa, I know the reason you named me Yifan was to let me be an ordinary person, peacefully passing through life. But perhaps my fate lies with the Heavenly Doctor, and I shouldn’t exist in this world. Since I’ve survived until now, I can only live my way. Grandpa, don’t blame me for disobedience. If watching others take away my woman, I truly cannot do it."
After Lin Yifan finished, he tossed the cigarette butt to the ground and crushed it.
Resolute, he strode out.
Meanwhile, in an office, Li Fengnian frowned.
"Second brother, sending Shiyao to that kid’s room, isn’t it inappropriate? You mentioned marrying into the Tang Family. You know Shiyao’s character. Once she’s determined, it can’t be changed. If the marriage with the Tang Family gets affected, losing their support would trouble brother-in-law even more. After all, the old man’s health is failing, and the battle for the family’s leadership is critical."
"Brother, there are things you still don’t understand."
Li Fengchun held a cigar, his eyes cunning.
His depth of scheming was beyond what Li Fengnian could imagine.
"He won’t agree."
Hei Hu, who had been silently curled up on the sofa, suddenly spoke.
He knew Li Fengchun was forcing Lin Yifan to comply.
"If he refuses, then he must show competence."
Li Fengchun snorted coldly.
But before his words finished, the office door was kicked open.
"Who bullied my woman!"
