Ning Anmiao bit her lip and quickened her movements slightly. "I was just trying it on. Then I answered the phone and..."
She didn't finish the rest of the sentence.
The incident happened so suddenly that she simply didn't have time to change out of that outfit.
If Lu Yan hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten what she was wearing inside.
Seeing her voice getting softer and softer, the curve of Lu Yan's lips deepened. "Miaomiao, you really surprise me."
"I thought you'd be embarrassed. I didn't expect you to go out in this."
Ning Anmiao felt her face burning with embarrassment after his teasing. "I didn't! I just..."
"Are you done? With the wound?" He interrupted her flustered explanation directly, looking up into her eyes. His voice was suppressing some kind of impulse. "I can't wait any longer, Miaomiao."
Ning Anmiao froze. In fact, she had finished bandaging it a while ago, but she just wasn't ready.
Wasn't ready to face him in that sexy outfit.
Seeing her hand stop still on her forehead, Lu Yan's patience was running out. He never had much patience in this regard. He directly grabbed her wrist and, using the force, pushed her onto the sofa.
Ning Anmiao's pupils shrank.
She let out a startled cry, and her white knitted sweater was lifted from the bottom up, revealing the velvet red inside.
Such a visual impact darkened Lu Yan's eyes a bit. He involuntarily licked his back teeth, obviously very satisfied with this gift.
"Um, we haven't had the birthday cake yet..." Ning Anmiao tried to make a last-ditch effort, her voice weak. "There's a cake I made myself in the fridge..."
"We can have it later." Lu Yan's voice was hoarse. Without any hesitation, he touched the button on her pants with his finger.
His movements were skillful and extremely decisive.
Ning Anmiao's breathing quickened. She subconsciously pressed his hand, her voice even weaker. "Let's go to the bedroom. Not here."
Lu Yan's eyes swept across her face. His whole body was filled with almost uncontrollable desire. "I want to try the sofa, Miaomiao."
"Don't worry. The sofa is of good quality. I picked it myself."
"..."
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Coupled with the "battle robe", Lu Yan was very enthusiastic and hardly gave Ning Anmiao any chance to rest.
Several times during the process, she begged for mercy with a sob in her voice, but it was of no use.
Just when she thought it was going to end, the man still had a lot of strength. He picked her up and sat her on his lap. His thin lips were close to her ear, and his heavy breathing sounded in her ear, making her tremble all over and subconsciously tighten her body.
"Miaomiao, relax." He gasped in, as if enduring something. "Don't clench so tight."
Ning Anmiao was about to go crazy.
Her sobbing plea for mercy only made Lu Yan let out a low laugh of a dominant man.
"Be obedient, or I'll be rough."
This sounded rather familiar.
...
He didn't let her go until almost dawn, when she collapsed from exhaustion.
She slept until 2 p.m. and finally opened her heavy eyelids, feeling as if her bones were about to fall apart.
The person beside her had already woken up at some point, and the bed was empty.
She didn't remember when Lu Yan had carried her back to bed.
Sitting on the big bed in the bedroom, she took a moment to collect herself. Then she slowly lifted the quilt, found a set of pajamas and put them on.
After shouting all night, her throat felt hoarse. She planned to go to the kitchen to get some water to moisten her throat.
When she opened the bedroom door, she saw at a glance the torn and tattered velvet red outfit thrown on the sofa. She closed her eyes helplessly.
Her first thought was that she would never wear the remaining white one.
After getting some hot water from the kitchen, Ning Anmiao sat on the sofa with the cup in her hands and sipped the water slowly. Only then did she notice that there was someone on the phone in the study.
It turned out Lu Yan was still at home.
Ning Anmiao blinked and walked to the study door, knocking twice.
"Come in."
The man was sitting on the chair full of energy. The computer in front of him had been on for a long time, and the phone in his hand hadn't been hung up. "Yes, I can accept your requirements. After all, for this cooperation..."
"Okay, then we'll do it as you said."
It was obvious that he was talking about business. Ning Anmiao walked over tactfully and sat on the small sofa in the study.
She had bought this small sofa herself before. Sometimes when she was doing design work in the study for a long time and her neck would hurt, she would use this small sofa to rest.
"Awake?" Lu Yan put down the phone, his eyes filled with a smile. "Are your legs tired?"
... He had the nerve to ask.
Ning Anmiao rolled her eyes in her heart and ignored him.
Seeing her pouting like a sulking child, Lu Yan just smiled and didn't argue with her. When he saw her turn her face away and not talk to him, he couldn't help but smile.
"There's a business dinner tonight. Wanna come?" Lu Yan tapped his finger on the table and asked casually.
Ning Anmiao shook her head and was about to refuse. "I'm not going. You should drink less and come back early."
She didn't like such occasions.
Lu Yan had already guessed that she would refuse. He straightened his collar calmly. "It's not for the Xinghe cooperation tonight. There's an investor from Guangcheng who plans to invest in a clothing design brand in Shanghai."
Hearing this, Ning Anmiao's eyes lit up instantly.
Yes, this was a great opportunity.
To be exact, it was a great opportunity for Yin Yiyan.
She had been wanting to establish her own original brand for many years.
Now she already had a studio and was becoming more and more famous. However, there was still a long way to go before she could build an independent design brand company.
"Then can I..."
Before Ning Anmiao could finish, Lu Yan smiled slightly. "I've already sent an invitation to Yin Yiyan."
Lu Yan was always like this. He could easily figure out what his Miaomiao wanted and knew how to please her.
"Really?" Ning Anmiao was really delighted. She immediately stood up from the sofa, hugged Lu Yan and gave him a kiss on the face happily. "You're so good, hubby! You're really a great talent scout!"
Her initiative satisfied Lu Yan. He nodded. "If Yin Yiyan can establish a design company in Shanghai, it will also be a good cooperation partner for Xinghe in the future. It's not just me helping her."
Ning Anmiao nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes. Yanyan is very capable. Your judgment is definitely right!"
"Then do you want to come with me?" Lu Yan asked with a smile.
Ning Anmiao immediately let go of her arms around him and turned to walk out of the study. "I'll go change my clothes right away!"
