Chapter 26 - Teasing

Sujin was doing everything in her power to care for the injured Luoxian while he was recovering in the hospital. Every request he made, no matter how unreasonable, she didn't refuse. Her heart was set on getting him back to full health. But as always, things didn't go as planned.

She fed him, acted as his human pillow, brushed his hair, applied ointment to his back, and even helped him wash his face. All these were supposed to be normal, everyday tasks, but somehow, every time, they always spiraled in an unexpected direction, leaving her both embarrassed and angry.

This time, Luoxian had reopened his back wound, bleeding again, yet he didn't seem to care. While he was nonchalant about it, Sujin couldn't help but feel a pang of frustration. The wound had barely begun to heal, and now it was worse than ever. She was torn between her heartache for him and exasperation at his reckless behavior.

"Seriously, do you even want to get better?" she snapped, pinching his flesh. "Look at this! Your wound is open again. Can't you be a little more careful?"

Luoxian, however, was unbothered and, with a teasing grin, replied, "How could I resist, baby? You're too irresistible."

Sujin's face turned as red as a tomato.

And so, it went on. No matter how much she tried to take care of him, no matter how many times he was at fault, in the end, it was always him who seemed to get away with it. When it was time for him to be pampered, there was never any hesitation on his part.

Sujin had learned a hard lesson: never spoil a man, especially not one like Luoxian, who was impossible to satisfy. He was like a bottomless pit of need, and every time she fed it, he wanted more. Worse, he grew bolder and less restrained with each passing day.

Sujin felt like a little bunny taking care of a big, dangerous wolf, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't escape his advances. He would use any excuse, any reason to pounce on her, teasing and tormenting her. And she, poor thing, couldn't even complain. All she could do was keep her mouth shut and try to keep up with his insatiable demands.

But as much as Sujin tried to keep her composure, her patience finally snapped on the third day of his hospitalization.

It was when he asked her to help him wash his entire body.

Luoxian lay in bed, his head resting on soft pillows, his dark eyes gleaming with amusement. His smile was more devilish than usual as he looked up at Sujin. In a voice laced with playful charm, he said, "Baby, can't you help me? I'm really struggling here."

Sujin bit her lip, her fingers twiddling nervously. "You've still got one good arm. You can do it yourself! I'll just help you with your upper body. The rest is all yours."

Luoxian gave her a disappointed look and sighed exaggeratedly. "But I'm exhausted... I don't have the strength. It's really too hard to move."

Sujin's patience was wearing thin, her frustration bubbling up. She knew he was just trying to mess with her, but she couldn't help herself. She tried to keep her tone calm. "Well, if that's the case, I'll call a male nurse or maybe even Ma Chao to help you."

The moment she said it, Luoxian's face turned dark.

"No one else touches me but you," he said, his tone suddenly serious, though it was still laced with possessiveness. "My body is yours. How could you let someone else look at it?"

Sujin's face flushed deep red, but she wasn't about to back down. She crossed her arms, looking defiant. "I don't care."

"But I care," Luoxian replied, his gaze intense and unwavering. He watched her closely, knowing she could never escape his forceful charm. "You don't want anyone else to see me, do you? I'm yours, Sujin. Don't deny it."

Sujin opened her mouth to argue but stopped herself. How could she say no to him, not when he was this persistent? But her pride pushed her to make one last stand. "I'm not interested in your body. You're just covered in bandages anyway."

At that, Luoxian smiled slyly. "Oh, I see. So you're saying my body isn't good enough for you now? Does it look bad?"

Sujin couldn't believe what she was hearing. Of course, she wasn't avoiding him because she thought he was ugly. But her mind was going blank, and every time she looked at him, her heart raced. His body was too perfect, too much for her to handle.

"That's not it!" she blurted out, but it was too late. Luoxian had already caught her in his trap.

"Then show me," he said, his voice laced with mischief. "Prove to me that you still find me attractive."

Sujin was floored by his boldness. She couldn't even think clearly anymore, her mind spinning. But she had fallen into his trap once again.

She stepped back, trying to escape the situation. "I'll go get you some fruit," she muttered, attempting to avoid further confrontation.

Before she could even leave, Luoxian yanked her back to the bed, pinning her down with a gleam in his eye. Gone was the wounded man from earlier; now, he was all strength and dominance. His gaze was hot and filled with desire.

"Where do you think you're going?" he asked, his voice dangerously low.

Sujin could only tremble, her heart racing as his lips brushed against her ear. "Baby, are you being naughty? Do you need a little punishment?"

Her body froze. She knew what he meant by punishment—she had been through it before. And she knew that, in this moment, she was completely at his mercy.

"Luoxian, you're such a pervert," she muttered, though her voice was trembling.

"You think so?" he teased, his lips trailing over her neck and down to her lips, each kiss burning with desire. "But you like it, don't you?"

Sujin was too embarrassed to speak, but her heart was pounding in her chest. She could feel the heat of his body against hers, and she knew she was powerless to resist him.

Just then, she heard a sound from the door. Her body went stiff. There was someone else outside, and it wasn't just a random nurse or hospital staff. She could tell that Luoxian's men were keeping a close watch on her.

She knew this was no coincidence. The moment she stepped out of his sight, his men followed her. Every move, every step was under his surveillance.

But she didn't want to show any weakness. She pretended like she didn't notice, playing along with his game. She knew that, no matter what, Luoxian would always keep her close, always make sure she wouldn't slip away from him.

She could resist for only so long.
