Chapter 153: The Toyed-With Goddaughter (28)
While waiting for their food, Yu Nian tried several times to retrieve her foot from Su Mingxiu’s grasp, but failed. Her posture awkward, she shifted in her seat, then whispered: “Susu…”
Su Mingxiu smiled. “Want me to let go?”
Yu Nian nodded, and Su Mingxiu continued, her voice unhurried: “I can, but you have to come closer.”
The restaurant’s dim lighting, warm and inviting, made it difficult for Yu Nian to look away, even from a distance. If she got closer… she might not be able to eat anything tonight.
She swallowed nervously and agreed, then, as Su Mingxiu’s grip loosened, she quickly scooted back, the chair scraping against the floor, and stood up.
Not even glancing at the red mark on her ankle, she excused herself and hurried towards the bathroom, a clear escape.
Su Mingxiu knew she would run, but she didn’t pursue her. She waited patiently, and only when the first dish arrived did Yu Nian return.
Su Mingxiu stood up gracefully, walking towards Yu Nian, who looked at her with wide, uncertain eyes.
Yu Nian heard her own heartbeat.
Unable to predict Su Mingxiu’s actions, every move was a surprise, a mix of anxiety and excitement.
She didn’t move, waiting. Su Mingxiu walked right up to her, but before Yu Nian could imagine anything further, Su Mingxiu brushed past her, leaving behind a different fragrance.
Yu Nian’s mind went blank, she turned instinctively. “Where are you going?”
They hadn’t even started eating.
“Washing my hands,” Su Mingxiu raised an eyebrow, turning slightly, her words laced with a double meaning. “What, do you want to join me again?”
Yu Nian blushed,
Embarrassed by her own thoughts.
When Su Mingxiu returned, most of the dishes had arrived. She picked up her chopsticks, glanced at Yu Nian, who had barely touched her food, her gaze fixed on Su Mingxiu, and chuckled softly. “Disappointed that I didn’t do anything to you just now?”
“Ah!” Yu Nian denied it instinctively. “No.”
“You’re lying,” Su Mingxiu said, her eyes sparkling with amusement, seeing through her.
Yu Nian’s hand trembled, and the piece of tofu she had just picked up broke in half, falling back onto her plate.
Speechless, unable to even offer a convincing denial, she could only focus on her food,
Her movements hurried, as if eager to finish and move on to other things.
Su Mingxiu, however, ate slowly, even pushing some dishes towards Yu Nian. When Yu Nian finally put down her chopsticks, seemingly relieved, Su Mingxiu asked: “Couldn’t wait any longer?”
Yu Nian, flustered by Su Mingxiu’s teasing, wished she could choke on her rice and escape this torment.
She rubbed her face, her cheeks burning, and pleaded: “Stop teasing me.”
Su Mingxiu knew the child couldn’t handle it, if she pushed her too far, Yu Nian’s youthful impulsiveness might lead to… unpredictable consequences.
“Okay,” she said, then, after they finished, she paid the bill, pushing Yu Nian’s phone away as she tried to pay. Yu Nian, a smile on her lips, didn’t insist.
The mall was crowded, but the luxury stores were less so. As they walked downstairs, Su Mingxiu turned to Yu Nian.
“Want a gift?”
Yu Nian paused, wondering if there was a special occasion.
Su Mingxiu, remembering their lack of contact recently, wanted to make up for the missed gifts. She didn’t explain, only leading Yu Nian into a store.
The store sold ready-to-wear clothing, the current season’s designs quite stylish. Su Mingxiu browsed the racks, then looked at Yu Nian.
Yu Nian wasn’t really interested. Yu Wanru always received the latest catalogs and chose Yu Nian’s clothes for her, even her pajamas, so she had no interest in new clothes.
She only wanted to be with Su Mingxiu.
But remembering that this was a rare occasion, she walked over and picked a random outfit: a top, a camisole, and a skirt.
Being a teenager, rebelling against her parents’ preference for bright colors, she favored simple black, white, and grey.
Su Mingxiu didn’t mind her choices, but seeing the skirt, her expression changed slightly as she followed Yu Nian to the fitting room.
Sitting on the plush sofa in the waiting area, she browsed a fashion magazine.
A few minutes later…
The fitting room door opened, and Yu Nian peeked out, looking around. “Where’s the sales assistant?”
“Wrong size?” Su Mingxiu closed the magazine and stood up. They weren’t regular customers,
Even with their spending, the staff wouldn’t be constantly at their beck and call.
Yu Nian, also knowing this, held out the skirt. “Wrong style.”
“Hmm?”
Under Su Mingxiu’s curious gaze, Yu Nian unfolded the skirt. “Too short…”
She didn’t like this style, it felt too revealing.
The skirt actually matched the top Yu Nian had chosen. Su Mingxiu estimated its length. “Try it on, I want to see.”
Yu Nian: “?”
She was about to insist on changing it, but after a moment of staring at Su Mingxiu, she changed her mind. “Okay,” she said, and closed the door.
A few minutes later, she emerged, tugging at the hem of the skirt self-consciously, as if trying to make it longer.
She was wearing a black tweed jacket with small embellishments, paired with the matte leather skirt. But the most eye-catching feature was her long, slender legs, so pale they seemed to glow.
The skirt ended well above her knees. Yu Nian looked down, then, seeing Su Mingxiu’s gaze on her, she suddenly didn’t mind the short skirt anymore. She even walked over to Su Mingxiu and twirled slightly. “Does it look good?”
Su Mingxiu hummed in approval.
Actually, she thought there were better options for Yu Nian. But seeing the girl’s eagerness to leave, she simply smiled and followed her to the cashier.
Yu Nian didn’t even bother changing back into her original clothes, having the tags removed and walking out of the store. Su Mingxiu, following behind, seeing her small leather shoes, couldn’t resist teasing her further and took her to a shoe store.
Her long legs, now encased in grey knee-high boots, were mostly hidden, but the effect was even more alluring.
Yu Nian, initially tired of shopping, noticing that Su Mingxiu seemed to enjoy buying things for her, patiently accompanied her, until the mall closed. They returned to the car, each carrying several shopping bags.
Su Mingxiu, sitting in the driver’s seat, turned to Yu Nian. “Home, or my place?”
Yu Nian, hearing the second option, puffed out her cheeks, then replied: “Your place.”
Su Mingxiu had already repaid Yu Wanru for the apartment at Xiangjiang Huafu.
But she still didn’t feel comfortable living there. So she drove to a villa complex developed by Tianyan Group.
As they parked in the garage, Yu Nian asked: “Tianyan’s designs are so tacky, especially those apartments in the city, the layout is terrible, why do you like their properties?”
Su Mingxiu chuckled, wanting to say that it was because Yu Wanru was stingy, unlike Sheng Tianheng.
But that wouldn’t make Yu Nian happy. She saw Yu Nian open the door and, touching her seatbelt, raised an eyebrow. “Huh, this seatbelt seems to be stuck.”
Yu Nian, about to check, then decided it was too much trouble and walked around to the driver’s side. As she leaned in, her hand on the seatback, the seat suddenly reclined, startling her.
“Click.” Su Mingxiu caught her, then released the seatbelt. Only the dim garage lights illuminated the car’s interior.
Yu Nian, lying on top of Su Mingxiu, their breaths mingling, was about to speak when Su Mingxiu kissed her, silencing her.
The temperature in the car rose, her complaints and coquettish words lost in the intoxicating mix of their scents and Su Mingxiu’s perfume.
When Su Mingxiu finally released her, Yu Nian realized that her jacket had slipped off her shoulders, and her short skirt had ridden up, bunched around her hips.
Her hair, now loose, cascaded around her. She looked at Su Mingxiu, dazed, trying to sit up, but Su Mingxiu pulled her back down. This time, when she was released, she didn’t even have the strength to sit up.
Su Mingxiu caressed her nape. “Alright, let’s go upstairs.”
“Or do you want to stay here?”
Yu Nian: “?”
I didn’t want to stay here!
If it weren’t for Su Mingxiu’s trick with the seatbelt, and the kiss that had left her breathless, would she still be in the car?
Her response was to leave a row of bite marks on Su Mingxiu’s neck.
Yu Nian preferred showers, quick and efficient, but thinking about Su Mingxiu’s love for baths, she hesitated, wondering if this was the end of their night.
She turned off the water, drying herself absentmindedly. The shower hadn’t cooled her down, the unfulfilled desire only intensifying, like waves gathering strength.
After changing, she saw Su Mingxiu heading towards the bathroom and followed her for a few steps, then, embarrassed by her own eagerness, turned and went to the bedroom, deciding to read.
Su Mingxiu, unaware of her thoughts, came out of the bathroom and saw Yu Nian lying on the bed, reading. She glanced at the cover—
Tao Te Ching.
“Hmm?” She chuckled, amused, and took the book from Yu Nian. “This is what you want to read in my bed, at night?”
Yu Nian, her expression calm and innocent, nodded firmly, as if she had transcended all worldly desires and was no longer affected by Su Mingxiu’s presence. She even moved aside slightly and asked: “Are you going to sleep?”
Su Mingxiu slowly untied her bathrobe, a smile on her lips. “Yes.”
As their skin touched, the warmth under the covers rekindled the fire.
Yu Nian took a few deep breaths, feeling that her reading had been in vain. She rolled over and straddled Su Mingxiu, thinking she shouldn’t suffer alone.
Then, in the next second, she was flipped over, Su Mingxiu pinning her hands above her head, her voice teasing. “Weren’t you reading the Tao Te Ching? Isn’t this… inappropriate?”
Yu Nian, tilting her head back, bit Su Mingxiu’s lip.
As Su Mingxiu gasped, Yu Nian pushed her down, silencing her teasing words.
They wrestled playfully, the sheets and blankets rumpled. Until Yu Nian suddenly grabbed Su Mingxiu’s wrist. “Wait!”
Su Mingxiu raised an eyebrow, looking down at her.
Yu Nian, always quick to act cute, and to protect her “top” status, said softly: “Susu, please…”
“Call me something nicer.”
“Hmm?” Yu Nian hesitated, then said: “Wife?”
Su Mingxiu’s smile deepened, surprised by her boldness. As Yu Nian was about to try a third time, Su Mingxiu broke free and, as she had intended, took the lead—
Yu Nian could only let out a soft moan.
Her hand, which had been gripping Su Mingxiu’s wrist, now clutched the fabric of Su Mingxiu’s bathrobe.
She seemed confused, her brow furrowed, as if complaining about Su Mingxiu’s sudden action.
Su Mingxiu leaned closer, her gaze fixed on Yu Nian’s slightly swollen lips, her voice low and husky. “Call me Little Mom.”
Yu Nian: “!”
In this intimate moment, the forbidden title was like a bucket of cold water, making her freeze.
Sensing her body stiffen, Su Mingxiu chuckled. “I knew you liked that.”
“Now, call me whatever you want, let’s begin.”
Yu Nian: “?!”
Her grip on Su Mingxiu’s shoulders tightened, her voice firm. “I don’t like it.”
“Really?”
Su Mingxiu looked at her intently, then, after a moment of thought, she raised her left hand, gently prying Yu Nian’s hand from her shoulder, and guiding it towards the opening of her bathrobe. “But your…”
“other mouth… seems to be saying something else.”
