Chapter 116 Dominance and Desire: The Complexities of Yan Ruozhe and Li Xin

Yan Ruozhe was exhausted from Li Xin's relentless attention and lay sprawled on the bed. Li Xin's fingers continued to trace patterns on Yan Ruozhe's back. "Ruozhe is so weak," Li Xin murmured. "It's understandable if she can't always be on top, but you'd think she could handle being on the bottom."

"Li Xin, you have so much energy," Yan Ruozhe mumbled into the pillow, the thought of her body melting into Li Xin's again and again flashing through her mind.

"Ruozhe, did you feel good just now? Want to go another round?" Li Xin asked suggestively. She always asked this after pleasuring Yan Ruozhe. Usually, Yan Ruozhe would just give her a cool look, but this time, even her ears were flushed.

Yan Ruozhe sat up and reached directly between Li Xin's legs, caressing the wet and yielding softness there. Li Xin was clearly caught off guard by Yan Ruozhe's directness and didn't react for a moment. Seizing the opportunity, Yan Ruozhe flipped them over, pinning Li Xin beneath her.

Li Xin met Yan Ruozhe's serious gaze, which held a flicker of desire. Suddenly, Li Xin felt a surge of dominance from Yan Ruozhe. Ruozhe's assertiveness had finally made its way into the bedroom. Li Xin was filled with anticipation for what was to come. She loved the feeling of being conquered by Ruozhe.

Yan Ruozhe buried her face in Li Xin's full breasts and lowered her head to nip at a nipple. Li Xin cried out softly in pain. Even though it stung, it inexplicably excited her, completely unaware of her slight masochistic tendencies. Her legs instinctively wrapped around Yan Ruozhe's waist, pulling their bodies closer.

Yan Ruozhe couldn't help the smile that tugged at the corner of her mouth. Li Xin was a natural, passionate lover. An unprecedented desire to possess her rose in Yan Ruozhe's heart. She wanted to conquer this woman in bed and make her never want to leave.

Looking at Yan Ruozhe's expression, Li Xin sensed that tonight would be different. Not the passive seriousness of their last encounter, but an active and enthusiastic intensity. Yan Ruozhe's initiative made Li Xin feel her rare fervor.

The serious Yan Ruozhe had a persistence and focus that most people lacked, so even the energetic Li Xin couldn't keep up, desperately begging for mercy, her voice slightly hoarse from her happy cries. But Yan Ruozhe ignored Li Xin's pleas, continuing until Li Xin was on the verge of tears. This relentless drive made Li Xin both love and resent her, feeling that moderation was key, while overindulgence left her wanting nothing for days.

Conquering Li Xin gave Yan Ruozhe a great sense of satisfaction, and she grew to love this game of dominance, sometimes pushing Li Xin to her limits, only to look at her with feigned regret afterward. Li Xin wanted to cry and bite the sheets every time. She felt deceived by Yan Ruozhe. She used to think this person was reserved, ha! Once you unleashed this woman's proactive side, her intensity was truly frightening. Fortunately, Li Xin knew Yan Ruozhe's body intimately, so she wasn't always completely overwhelmed and could at least sometimes maintain some semblance of control.

"Get up, let's go out," Yan Ruozhe said, nudging Li Xin's body.

"Don't go out. It's the weekend. Let's just stay home," Li Xin reached out to hug Yan Ruozhe, acting coquettishly. Both of them were incredibly busy with work, and their vacation time was pitifully short. She had even used her father's connections to coordinate her time off with Ruozhe's schedule. She wished she could be with Ruozhe every minute of the day.

"Then you keep sleeping. I'm going out." Yan Ruozhe had initially wanted Li Xin to come with her, but Li Xin had worked very late the previous night and was probably still exhausted. Yan Ruozhe decided to wait until next time.

"Where to?" Seeing Yan Ruozhe's determination to leave, Li Xin quickly sat up. She didn't want to be left alone at home.

"The orphanage." Yan Ruozhe visited the orphanage every two months, without fail.

"Are you an orphan?" In the car, Li Xin asked Yan Ruozhe cautiously. So Ruozhe was an orphan. How had she not realized it before? Li Xin felt a pang of guilt, feeling incredibly oblivious.

"Yes, I was an orphan until I was five. I was adopted at five and then sent back to the orphanage at twelve," Yan Ruozhe said calmly. She didn't usually share these things with outsiders, but since deciding to spend her life with Li Xin, Yan Ruozhe was ready to open up about her past.

"Why were you sent back to the orphanage? What kind of life did you have growing up, Ruozhe?"

"Those two years, from five to seven, were really good. They treated me almost like their own child. After the age of seven, my adoptive mother, who had been struggling to conceive, gave birth to my younger sister..." No matter how many years had passed, those memories were still vivid.

"After the baby was born, they weren't good to you anymore, were they?" Li Xin suddenly felt a surge of anger and heartbreak. She was angry at herself for only now learning about Ruozhe's background. If she had known sooner, she could have been even better to her.

"That was also understandable," Yan Ruozhe said, not wanting to blame them. Biological and adopted children were different after all. She had been an orphan from the start, just returning to that reality. It was just that the feeling of being abandoned wasn't pleasant.

"Where are they now?" Li Xin asked. If she knew who they were, she would definitely go and give them a piece of her mind.

"They immigrated when I was twelve, and we haven't been in contact since," Yan Ruozhe said, looking straight ahead, her expression unreadable.

The current Yan Ruozhe didn't show much emotion, but Li Xin knew that those years must have been incredibly difficult for her. Thinking about it, Li Xin felt a sharp pain in her heart.

"Ruozhe..." Li Xin called out, her voice filled with heartache.

"I met Shaowen when I was thirteen. Qian Shaowen was a kind person, and he went to a lot of trouble to find a kind couple for me, who became my later adoptive parents. I was like a hedgehog back then, but they were incredibly patient with me, very good to me. It took a year for me to slowly accept them. In the following years, they were truly wonderful to me..." When Yan Ruozhe spoke of them, her expression softened noticeably, though a hint of sadness still lingered.

"What about them now?" Li Xin continued to ask.

"When I was twenty, my adoptive father had kidney failure and needed a transplant, which required a large sum of money. My adoptive parents' family wasn't well-off. I had just started college and reconnected with Shaowen, so the surgery was able to proceed. However, after the surgery, my adoptive father's health was never good, and a cold eventually took him. After my adoptive father passed away, my adoptive mother's mental state deteriorated, and she often seemed lost in her own world. Later, a car accident also took her away. It's my regret that I wasn't able to repay their kindness properly..." Compared to other orphans, Yan Ruozhe felt that she had actually been very lucky, but she always regretted not being able to take better care of her adoptive parents.

"Ruozhe, my family is your family. I will love you with all my heart, and we will never be apart for the rest of our lives. And be a little more polite to Qian Shaowen in the future," Li Xin said seriously. She finally understood why Ruozhe was so good to Qian Shaowen and also understood why Ruozhe had been more considerate to her parents than their own biological daughter recently. Li Xin was incredibly grateful that Qian Shaowen had recovered.

Yan Ruozhe was deeply touched by these words. Never being apart for the rest of her life she was truly afraid of being abandoned, so she always made sure to excel in everything she did so as not to become a burden to others. Yan Ruozhe felt that being loved by Li Xin was a wonderful thing. Li Xin always put her first, and the fact that her family would welcome her so completely was also very appealing. The Li family was a family that would make her feel warmth, something the calculating Qian family never could.

"Li Xin, you should be good to your parents. Your mother hopes we can move back home," Yan Ruozhe remembered that Li's mother had been actively reaching out recently, hoping to persuade Li Xin to move back in with them. In fact, Yan Ruozhe didn't object to this idea. Older people often enjoyed a lively household, but Li Xin cherished their privacy, so Yan Ruozhe didn't want to pressure her, wanting Li Xin to choose for herself.

"Okay, that's fine too." Although Li Xin was very reluctant to give up their private world, Ruozhe was a filial daughter, and she knew this from Ruozhe's recent compliance with her mother's requests, which even made Li Xin a little jealous, fearing that her status wouldn't be as high as the two elders in the family in the future. However, the most important thing was that Ruozhe wanted it.

After entering the orphanage, Li Xin noticed that Qian Shaowen was also there. He looked much better, wearing a white shirt and a bright smile, looking like a prince. He was clearly there for Ruozhe. Li Xin felt she couldn't let her guard down completely, but her hostility towards Qian Shaowen had lessened considerably.

Qian Shaowen was also a little surprised to see Li Xin, feeling a pang of loss as he realized that the memories he once shared exclusively with Ruozhe were now being shared with Li Xin. However, thinking about their relationship, he felt a sense of acceptance. After all, she no longer belonged to him.

"How have you been recently?" Qian Shaowen asked, trying his best to appear composed.

"Very well. Has your health improved?" Yan Ruozhe was genuinely happy to see Qian Shaowen looking healthier than before.

"Yes, my health has been much better since the surgery. Speaking of which, I'm very grateful to Doctor Li," Qian Shaowen said with a gentle smile.

"Although you had surgery, your underlying health still isn't the best, so you need to be careful. Don't overdo it with exercise, and watch your diet..." If it had been before, Li Xin wouldn't have cared whether Qian Shaowen lived or died. Not being hostile was already a significant improvement, let alone actively showing concern. This surprised Qian Shaowen. Yan Ruozhe was both surprised and not surprised. Li Xin was indeed a woman of her word. Looking at Li Xin, Yan Ruozhe was glad she hadn't let this woman slip away.

Seeing the soft look in Yan Ruozhe's eyes, Li Xin thought, "Yes, being gentle to your rivals shows your strength. This principle is definitely true." Under Yan Ruozhe's gaze, Li Xin had to admit that she was very good at winning people over.
