Chapter 55 Finally Together (Part 2)

Looking at Zhang Yi's "restrained" and shy gaze, Xiao Sheng had an evil smile on his face. He placed one hand on her slender waist, feeling her tender skin through the chiffon dress. For a moment, Xiao Sheng was distracted, but he still composed himself and said softly,

"I can smell a 'hormonal' longing from your 'naughty' gaze!" Hearing this, Zhang Yi showed her feminine side. She slapped and pinched Xiao Sheng, with a coquettish look on her face. The coquetry of a mature woman was hard to resist for a man who hadn't had an outburst of passion for years. Xiao Sheng swallowed hard and continued,

"Actually, I was thinking that if we can't help ourselves tonight, or if things develop naturally, do you think Old Man Zhang will pick up his horse - chopping sword that has been gathering dust for years and come all the way to Hong Kong City?"

"Giggle!" After hearing this, Zhang Yi covered her mouth and laughed merrily. Then she replied softly,

"If that's the case, I think Old Man Nalan's 'old rifle' that has been out of use for years will surely make a comeback too..." Hearing Zhang Yi's answer, the two looked at each other affectionately and then hugged tightly, laughing together.

Paying attention to the mood and enjoying the process was always Xiao Sheng's style. It wasn't that Xiao Sheng was being coy. When he went wild, he could be even crazier than a wild beast. But he didn't want to casually take Zhang Yi's first time. He felt sincerely guilty towards this "big sister" who had waited for him for so many years.

Holding Zhang Yi's tender hand, he somewhat borrowed what was at hand and led her to the dining table. Facing the neatly arranged tableware and Western food on the table, Xiao Sheng, with a rather gentlemanly demeanor, pulled out a chair for Zhang Yi and made a gesture of invitation. Zhang Yi, with a blushing face and a smile, was less unrestrained than before and more reserved as she sat down on the chair. Xiao Sheng, smiling, walked around the table. When he reached his side of the table, he was stunned.

In sharp contrast to Zhang Yi's medium - well - done steak, knife, and fork, there was a plate of braised pig's head meat and a pair of mahogany chopsticks on Xiao Sheng's side. Next to the braised meat, a bowl of hand - pulled noodle soup was still steaming. Looking at Zhang Yi's goblet filled with dark red wine, while on Xiao Sheng's side, there was directly a water vat filled with white liquid. He bent down and sniffed it, then let out an "Hmm..." and turned to look at Zhang Yi in surprise, saying,

"Authentic ten - year - old Laobaigan from Hebei Province?" Leaning on her chin with one hand, Zhang Yi looked at Xiao Sheng's stalwart figure with blurred eyes. After hearing Xiao Sheng's words, she replied with a smile,

"You don't like Western food and you hate the cumbersome etiquette of Western food. You like to sit with a few people at a street stall, bare - chested, drinking from a big bowl, eating big chunks of meat. After drinking until your stomach is in turmoil, you'd have a bowl of hand - pulled clear noodle soup. You never eat medium - well - done steak. You say that's only for savages. You never drink foreign wines or red wines. You always say they taste as weak as horse urine and have no kick... You hate wearing brand - name clothes, saying that it doesn't feel good to be 'pasted' with big red banknotes. You can wear two short - sleeved shirts that cost fifty yuan for half a summer. Xiao Sheng, do you know what the most charming thing about you is? It's that you don't put on airs and you don't deliberately hide your thoughts. You like what you like and dislike what you dislike. Several times when we were about to 'be intimate' and you ran away, I thought, according to your temperament, did you really not have any feelings for me?" Saying this, Zhang Yi picked up the wine glass beside her and took a big gulp. Then she poured herself another glass and continued, recalling,

"But when I was really alone with other men, even just chatting with friends or business partners, you, with your strong sense of male chauvinism, would show your domineering side. Do you remember the year when the snow covered the capital? You single - handedly barged into the Northern Club. That was a club jointly opened by several sons of influential families. You beat people and smashed the place. When I ran out of the private room in a panic, you took my hand and walked out of the club with such arrogance without saying a word. But at the door, we were stopped by several armed guards with guns pointed at you. You were so domineering at that time, standing in front of me, facing the muzzles, and simply saying one word, 'Scram...' Uncle Nalan rushed to the capital from Hebei Province overnight. When he asked you face - to - face why you did this, your answer was even more straightforward, 'My woman, why should she drink with others...' Although I wasn't there at that time, I learned about this immediately. Do you know how excited I was? I thought my spring had come. But whether in Hebei Province or in Lingnan, you still avoided me, as if you were running away from something. Xiao Sheng, I was so impulsive several times that I wanted to rush up to you, slap you a few times, and then ask you, 'If you don't love me, why did you provoke me?' But I couldn't bear to, I really couldn't..." By this time, Zhang Yi was already in tears, still gulping down the wine in her glass. At this moment, Xiao Sheng, with a look of guilt, was sitting in his seat. When he was about to get up and walk towards Zhang Yi, she refused him.

"Let me finish talking today and vent, okay?" Xiao Sheng, who had stood up and then sat back down, picked up the water vat in front of the table and took a big swig. The pungency filled Xiao Sheng's entire mouth, like a ball of fire, igniting his restless desires.

After saying this, Zhang Yi picked up the wine glass and walked gracefully towards Xiao Sheng. Her gaze was so firm as she continued to vent,

"You asked me why I didn't find you a brother - in - law? Ha... You go and ask around in the capital. Who doesn't know that I, Zhang Yi, am the woman of Nalan Zhonglei? Even though you've been missing for six years, your status as the 'Second Brother' in the capital is still unreplaceable. No one dares to mess with me. Among the older generation, who doesn't know that you, Nalan Zhonglei, are known for being fearless and really willing to take action? Xiao Sheng, I've really been ruined by you in this life, but I, Zhang Yi, don't regret it. I can wait..."

"Smack, Bang..." After Zhang Yi finished speaking, Xiao Sheng forcefully swept all the food, bowls, and chopsticks on the table to the ground. With his thick arms, he pulled Zhang Yi into his arms and kissed her almost frantically. The hair that Zhang Yi had coiled up high was roughly pulled down by Xiao Sheng. Her hair, scattered on her back, became a mess as Zhang Yi was pressed onto the dining table by Xiao Sheng and kissed passionately.

Zhang Yi, with her eyes closed, tightly grasping Xiao Sheng's shirt with both hands, slightly moved her lips. As she felt Xiao Sheng's madness, her voice was slightly hoarse, and she let out an extremely alluring cry,

"Love me..."
