Huo Linsheng's words left Ling Nuan stunned.
It took her a while to react to what Huo Linsheng had said.
Joy quickly took over her heart. She had already been smiling, but now when she looked at Huo Linsheng and smiled, there seemed to be an indescribable emotion in her eyes.
It was as if even a dog passing by would be driven away by the sickly sweet smell of love.
"I must be so lucky to receive such good treatment from President Huo," Ling Nuan said shyly, yet still trying to play it cool as she joked with Huo Linsheng.
In fact, the tips of her ears were burning red, completely giving away her state of mind.
Huo Linsheng let out a soft sigh and mimicked Ling Nuan's tone. "How much of a failure must I be that I still only get the title of President Huo?"
"What do you want me to call you?" Ling Nuan asked.
Ling Nuan thought back carefully. After spending so much time in the company, she always liked to call him President Huo. Occasionally, she would call him by his name, and she seemed to have called him "darling" twice.
Huo Linsheng stepped forward and pulled Ling Nuan and the roses into his arms.
"I want to hear something nice," Huo Linsheng said, coaxing her.
Hearing this, Ling Nuan looked up into Huo Linsheng's eyes.
"Something nice?" Ling Nuan asked.
"Yeah, something nice," Huo Linsheng replied.
Their eyes met, and the intense and sweet atmosphere that seemed to leave no room for a third person quickly spread around them.
Ling Nuan curved her lips, her voice soft and with a hint of barely noticeable shyness.
She called out, "Sugar daddy."
Huo Linsheng: "?"
The smile on Huo Linsheng's lips froze for a moment, and finally he looked at Ling Nuan helplessly.
Ling Nuan deliberately smiled at him. "Sugar daddy. It not only shows that you're rich but also highlights your noble status. The title 'daddy' also implies a love as deep as a mountain."
"A father's love as deep as a mountain," Huo Linsheng added. He reached out and tapped Ling Nuan on the head. "I couldn't possibly have a daughter as old as you."
Ling Nuan replied, "I can be your god - daughter."
"Thanks, but no thanks," Huo Linsheng refused coldly.
Ling Nuan burst out laughing. Then, when Huo Linsheng least expected it, she stood on tiptoe and planted a fleeting kiss on his lips.
"Huo Linsheng, I'm so happy."
The pretense of coldness on Huo Linsheng's face quickly faded.
"I'm happy too, but I think we could be even happier," Huo Linsheng said.
A look of confusion flashed across Ling Nuan's eyes, but before she could react, Huo Linsheng had already lowered his head and captured her lips.
The lips are a magical part of the body.
Soft.
When they meet, it seems as if they can play countless beautiful melodies in this world.
But soon, Huo Linsheng wasn't satisfied with just that. His tongue slipped into her mouth, entangling with hers. It was like a pas de deux, sometimes embracing tenderly, sometimes parting reluctantly, only to collide more intensely the next time.
Ling Nuan was still holding the roses at first.
But soon, as she got more involved, the flowers in her hand fell to the ground.
Originally, the roses were between them, and Huo Linsheng had to bend down to kiss her. Once the roses hit the ground, Ling Nuan was pulled into his arms as if she was about to merge with his body.
When the kiss ended and Huo Linsheng pulled back, a long silver thread was drawn out, as if declaring their lingering desire.
"Shall we go back?" Huo Linsheng asked Ling Nuan.
Ling Nuan glared at Huo Linsheng shyly and angrily. "I'm so tired, and I have to attend a wedding tomorrow."
Huo Linsheng pinched Ling Nuan's nose and replied, "I'll take you back to rest."
Ling Nuan nodded.
But when it was really time to leave, Ling Nuan suddenly felt her legs go weak.
After sitting on the plane for so long, she was already exhausted. And the kiss just now was more intense than any before. She didn't notice it at first, but now when she tried to take a step, she found that her legs were floating terribly.
"Can't walk?" Huo Linsheng looked at Ling Nuan with concern.
Ling Nuan bit her lower lip in shame. She seemed to glare at Huo Linsheng fiercely, but with the blush on her face from the kiss, this glare was soft and had no real bite. Instead, it was like a hook that lured people in.
Huo Linsheng felt his heart itch.
He took a step forward and picked Ling Nuan up in his arms.
Ling Nuan was caught off guard and almost let out a scream.
"What are you doing?" Ling Nuan struggled slightly. "Put me down quickly. There are still a lot of people inside."
Going out for a stroll in the garden and then being carried back? What would those people think?
"Don't care about other people's opinions. It's more important that you're comfortable," Huo Linsheng replied.
Ling Nuan was helpless. "I'll be fine after a while. It's not that exaggerated that I can't walk."
Huo Linsheng raised his eyebrows. "If you don't need me, maybe it's me who needs you?"
Ling Nuan: "?"
"Cover it up," Huo Linsheng tapped Ling Nuan's skirt lightly.
Ling Nuan understood immediately.
She was wearing a dress. After Huo Linsheng picked her up horizontally, the hem of the dress naturally hung down, just covering in front of Huo Linsheng and hiding his physical reaction.
"Shall we go back?" Huo Linsheng asked again.
Ling Nuan didn't want to talk to him. She buried her head in Huo Linsheng's arms. It was like burying her head in the sand, but anyway, if she didn't see those people, it was as if they couldn't see her either.
Huo Linsheng looked at her like this, chuckled, and then carried her inside.
Not only was Ling Nuan tired, but Huo Linsheng was too.
After they got back to the room, they simply tidied up and then lay on the bed for a short nap.
It was a completely innocent sleep.
When Ling Nuan woke up, it was already evening.
Only a night - light was on in the room, and there was no sign of Huo Linsheng beside her.
Ling Nuan sat up and took a moment to gather herself. After her mind cleared, she thought about getting up to look for him.
Before she could reach the door, Huo Linsheng opened the door and came in.
"Awake?"
Ling Nuan looked at Huo Linsheng and naturally buried herself in his arms. She was lazy, and her voice was like a撒娇. "What time is it?"
"It's a little past nine. Are you hungry?" Huo Linsheng asked with concern.
Ling Nuan didn't say a word. She just shook her head in Huo Linsheng's arms.
"Adrian is having a bachelor party. Do you want to go?" Huo Linsheng asked her.
Ling Nuan didn't have any strong feelings about it. She looked up at Huo Linsheng. "Are you going?"
"If you're not sleepy anymore, I'll take you there to have fun."
Huo Linsheng patted Ling Nuan's head. "Go and change your clothes."
...
Adrian's bachelor party was held in a bar.
When Huo Linsheng took Ling Nuan there, the bar was already in a frenzy.
Adrian and his fiancée, as the main characters, were leading the way and having the most fun. They were dancing closely in the dance - floor, setting off wave after wave of cheers.
Huo Linsheng protected Ling Nuan and had a hard time walking through the dance - floor, dodging one person after another who was having a great time.
Halfway through, the music in the dance - floor suddenly stopped.
Adrian jumped onto the stage, grabbed the microphone and shouted, "Today is a bachelor party. We're going to break up all the couples and enjoy the fun alone!"
Adrian was speaking Italian, and Ling Nuan didn't understand.
Just as she was about to ask Huo Linsheng, she saw Huo Linsheng's face turn dark. At the same time, the people beside the dance - floor saw Huo Linsheng and Ling Nuan holding hands and quickly cheered and rushed towards them.
Before Ling Nuan could react, she was scattered by the crowd and found herself being pushed back by the crowd.
The distance between her and Huo Linsheng was getting farther and farther.
