349: Chapter 257 You Always Treat Me Like a Child_1 349: Chapter 257 You Always Treat Me Like a Child_1 Nanxi was somewhat exhausted.
Not wanting to soil the bed, she chose to sit on the sofa.
By the time Lu Yinchu came in, she was already leaning on the sofa, nearly nodding off.
A soft sigh indicated his presence.
The man went over and set the milk in his hand on the coffee table, then moved to carry her, her lightweight body radiating an enticing scent.
The moment her body touched the bed, Nanxi woke up.
Her dark, shiny eyes fixed on his, somewhat taken aback.
Awake, yes, but her mind was still foggy.
âJust a momentâ¦â
Yinchu bent down, placing a gentle kiss on her lips, then let go of her and walked over to the coffee table to fetch the milk.
He scooped her back into his arms again.
Nanxi blinked her eyes, starting to awake a bit more.
âOpen your mouth and have some milk.
Youâve lost a lot of weight these past few days,â his voice tinged with concern.
His eagerness to possess her had made him overlook her physical condition after her mental ordeal.
This was his oversight.
Nanxi frowned, her crimson lips pouting, and shook her head, âI canât drink anymore!â
Sheâd overeaten earlier, and truly could not drink anymore.
âReally not going to drink?â
âI donât want to!â Nanxi affirmed with certainty.
Her long eyelashes quivered, rosy lips slightly pouty, exuding an attractive color.
âIt seems like I need to feed you!â
ââ¦â
âNoâ¦â Nanxi attempted to object, but it was already too late.
The manâs handsome face approached, his lips silencing hers.
Nanxi dared not move.
She noticed the manâs other hand still holding the glass of milk, steady.
But if she were to move abruptly, it might not be steady anymore.
âDo you still need me to feed you?â asked the man, a smile playing at the corners of his lips, his husky voice making Nanxiâs chest rise and fall, her heart nearly leaping out.
âNo, no need!â Nanxi immediately denied.
If he were to feed her again, she feared she might suffocate and die on the spot.
âThenâ¦â The man brought the glass of milk closer just in time.
âIâll drink!â Nanxi quickly took the glass of milk from him, and drank all of the milk under his watchful eyes.
Watching the little woman in his arms wrinkle her brows and put forth such effort to drink, Lu Yinchu didnât know whether he should feel happy or heartbroken.
Just to avoid his âfeeding,â she mustered up so much energy.
The glass was empty.
Nanxi, feeling weak all over, looked at him and reported, âIâ¦
Iâve finished drinking!â
âHm.â The man took the empty glass and put it on the bedside table.
His voice was magnetically faint, âVery good.â
ââ¦Lu Yinchu, do you treat me like a child?
Or do you think Iâm very childish?â
Nanxi bit her lip and tried to suppress the anger in her chest before speaking in a threatening voice.
âWhatâs the matter?â
Looking at her, the manâs eyes were pitch-black, his voice indicating genuine confusion.
âIâm already twenty-two.
I graduated from university and entered the workforce.
Iâm an adult, yet you always treat me like a child.
This is something I canât accept, itâsâ¦
itâs unfair treatmentâ¦â
âOh?
Unfair treatment?â
The manâs voice remained a soft concoction, his beautiful lips curving into a captivating arc, âSo, you want to be treated fairly?â
Nanxi: âOf course!â
The manâs dark eyes fixed on her, âI understand!â
Nanxi frowned.
What was there to understand?
Just as Nanxi was puzzling over this, the man suddenly lowered his head and kissed her neck, âIs thisâ¦
what you mean by treating you as an adult?â
Nanxiâs face blushed profusely, her heart thumping wildly.
She opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.
She lost her voice, her breathing erratic.
The manâs lips grazed her nose and planted a kiss.
Nanxiâs entire body trembled.
In disbelief, she looked at the man and noticed the uncontrollable darkness in his intense eyes.
Nanxi froze.
He had said he wouldnât touch her!
â¦
âIfâ¦
I mean if, I treated you as a child, would I kiss you like this?â
Nanxi lips pressed together tightly, she dared not move, âLu Yinchu, I⦠uhâ¦â
Before she could finish, the man lowered his head and captured her lips once again.
âNanxiâ¦â
âDonâtâ¦â
Nanxi avoided his lips and pleaded with a quivering voice.
With wet lashes, she cast a pleading look at the man.
Trembling, she uttered, âLu Yinchu, you promisedâ¦â
âJust one kissâ¦
I wonât do anything elseâ¦â
âButâ¦â Nanxi, well-versed in romantic novel tropes, was finding it hard to trust Lu Yinchu.
Many men lure unsuspecting women this way, and ultimately fail to control themselves.
âLu Yinchu, could youâ¦
could you get off me?â
The man raised his head, his eyes as dark as ink.
He leaned down to kiss her lips.
âWhatâs the matter?â
âYouâ¦
you canât do thisâ¦â Nanxi managed to slur the words out.
âDo what?â
âYouâ¦
you canât do it like thisâ¦â
Nanxi couldnât put it into words.
It felt as if her entire brain had short circuited.
