An intimate conspiracy

Early in the morning, just as dawn was breaking, Shen Luoyan woke up. 

Feeling the warmth and firmness of Lu Han's embrace, she felt an overwhelming urge to cry, thinking it was another beautiful dream. But the faint pain from her lower body reminded her that last night's events were real, filling her heart with sweet joy.

Pain or not, this was a blissful kind of pain.

Shen Luoyan gazed at Lu Han's chiseled face, finding herself more and more enamored with each passing second. Unable to resist, she quietly took out her phone.

She aimed the camera at Lu Han's sleeping face and her own radiant smile, making several selfies from different angles before browsing through them contentedly.

She thought about sending these photos to Su Qingli but quickly dismissed the idea. As the legitimate fiancée, Su Qingli deserved some respect.

But wasn't this secretly enjoying great fortune?

Shen Luoyan gave Lu Han a gentle kiss and snuggled closer into his embrace.

"Teasing me so early in the morning?"

Thinking her movements were gentle enough, Shen Luoyan hadn't expected to wake Lu Han. Looking up, she saw him watching her with a half-smile, causing her cheeks to flush and her eyes to become dreamy. "Lu Han, I really, really love you..."

"Does it still hurt?"

Lu Han reached out to gently caress her, his gaze falling on the snow-white skin exposed above the blanket. He had never imagined a woman could have such tender skin; even a slight touch left faint pink marks.

Of course, this was partly due to Shen Luoyan's usual habit of covering herself completely, exposing only her face and limbs to sunlight. Combined with meticulous skincare routines and frequent milk baths, her skin was almost translucent.

"Ah... do you want more?"

Misinterpreting his intentions, Shen Luoyan blushed deeply. "I can handle it."

In truth, she had tasted the sweetness of intimacy. While the pain was real, being possessed by Lu Han was intoxicatingly wonderful, almost addictive.

"How did I not realize you were such a little vixen?" Lu Han chuckled, playfully slapping her rounded bottom, eliciting a yelp of mock pain from her.

After cuddling for a while longer, Shen Luoyan got up, wearing only her undergarments, and walked into the kitchen with her smooth, long legs.

Since reconnecting with her biological parents and taking over the company, she had rarely done any household chores. But cooking for her beloved man brought her an indescribable sense of happiness.

Quickly preparing breakfast, Shen Luoyan fed Lu Han while stealing kisses, showing her affectionate side.

After finishing their meal and watching TV, she nestled comfortably in Lu Han's arms, alternating between being kissed and touched, like a purring cat, even finding ordinary soap operas particularly interesting.

"Luoyan," Lu Han whispered, his hand exploring beneath her nightgown. Now that they had rekindled their intimacy, he addressed her with the familiar terms of endearment. "When others are around, you need to act cold towards me, so no one suspects our closeness."

He then explained how he returned to the Lu family and the current situation, adding with a sneer, "My half-brother isn't nearly as magnanimous."

"He doesn't target me now because I operate outside his control, giving him few opportunities to strike."

"But once I join the Su Group officially, he might not be able to hold back."

That was a 3 billion yuan investment, with the marriage alliance merely an accessory. If things went south, influential elders would certainly voice their displeasure.

Lu Ming indeed had talent, especially in business, managing multiple companies simultaneously at a young age and generating substantial profits annually. Lu Han intended to use Shen Luoyan as a secret weapon, ready for unexpected situations.

Shen Luoyan, having risen to her current position, understood the ruthless power struggles within wealthy families. A single misstep could lead to disaster.

Standing in Lu Han's shoes, she considered the finer details. She admired Lu Zhenxin's shrewdness in separating Lu Han and Lu Ming, balancing their positions publicly to prevent internal strife.

This strategy deterred rash actions, as any move against Lu Han would be seen as defying Lu Zhenxin.

For example, when Lu Ming tried to "gift" the company to Lu Han, it was both a trap and a test of Lu Zhenxin's reaction. Shen Luoyan guessed that Lu Zhenxin had already warned Lu Ming. Though satisfying, it wasn't necessarily a good thing.

Lu Ming, having learned his lesson, would be more cautious, striking only with decisive moves.

"This is easy," Lu Han smiled. "Don't forget, Su Qingli and I are getting married soon. Whether you're acting out of jealousy or realizing my plans for Qinhan Entertainment, people will love the drama. And if you change the company's name, well, who knows how many will revel in your misfortune."

Changing the name of Qinhan Entertainment...

Shen Luoyan felt a pang of reluctance but knew it was for Lu Han's benefit, so she accepted it without complaint.

"What about Su Qingli? Is she considered an outsider?"

Her eyes twinkled, a playful smile on her lips.

Lu Han smiled back, asking, "What do you think?"

Remembering Su Qingli's smug look when showing off the marriage certificate, Shen Luoyan licked her lips and whispered seductively into his ear, "Lu Han, I want you..."

"Aren't you afraid of the pain?"

"Can I say... it's worth dying for?"

Her words ignited a fire within him. Lu Han picked her up and carried her back to the bedroom.

Thus, almost the entire day was spent in various parts of the house, leaving traces of their passionate encounters everywhere.

Shen Luoyan finally experienced the ultimate joy and pleasure of being a woman, indulging repeatedly until she could barely move.

Lu Han planned to stay overnight again. Just as he was about to fall asleep with Shen Luoyan in his arms, his WeChat received a friend request.

It indicated the person added him via a business card.

Lu Han opened it and was momentarily stunned.

Liang Silu?

Why would she add him on WeChat?
