Chapter 224 - 192: It Seems an Old Friend Has Come 8

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Su Mo and Xuan Qing went to visit Fu Ying’s home.

Little Jiu had also arrived early in the morning.

They had already prepared most of the food for lunch, and now the three of them were sitting on the sofa chatting.

Little Jiu asked curiously, "So what’s your relationship with Xuan Qing now?"

Su Mo said with narrowed eyes, "We’re dating."

Fu Ying laughed. "No wonder. I was just saying that the way he looks at you now is different from before!"

"Huh?" Su Mo was a little stunned. "Is it?"

’How did I not notice?’

"Of course. Before you made it official, his eyes held more of an inscrutable depth, a cautious probing. Now? They’re just filled with an intense possessiveness!"

Su Mo chuckled lightly. "That’s an exaggeration."

Fu Ying raised an eyebrow. "How am I exaggerating? If you don’t believe me, try kissing him and see."

Su Mo’s cheeks grew slightly hot.

Fu Ying noticed and couldn’t help but laugh again. "You’ve already kissed? Then you obviously know what I meant."

"Let me tell you, you can date him, and you can even take him to get registered, but don’t you dare let him sweet-talk you into a daze and get a marriage certificate on a whim!"

Hearing this, Little Jiu nodded furiously. "Yeah, Sister Ying is right!"

’After all, she was still a big shipper of Su Mo and Long Yan. That dragon hadn’t returned yet.’

’Registering a partner at the Enchanting Demon Management Bureau allows you to register multiple Enchanting Demons.’

’But if you choose to get a marriage certificate with one, you can only choose that one. That’s a no-go!’

"Did you hear me?" Fu Ying, afraid Su Mo hadn’t heard, repeated herself. "Don’t go getting a marriage certificate behind our backs!"

Su Mo took a bite of an apple and nodded.

Once the fifth day of the Lunar New Year passed, Su Mo’s small clinic officially reopened.

As soon as the doors opened, many people sent her flowers.

Some were from patients, and some were from admirers.

Xuan Qing casually picked up a card. What a coincidence—it was from one of Su Mo’s admirers.

It wouldn’t be possible to say he felt absolutely nothing, but those people weren’t enough to cause any major emotional turmoil for him.

After Su Mo’s small clinic reopened, she became busy.

When Xuan Qing wasn’t busy, he would come to help. Sometimes he’d bring her lunch, or he would come in the afternoon and sit for half the day, waiting for her to get off work.

He had a powerful aura and a natural sense of pressure. When he sat there without a word, he could easily send a shiver down one’s spine.

Once they heard he was Doctor Su’s boyfriend, those patients with ulterior motives were so intimidated they didn’t dare make a peep.

In less than a month, the number of patients faking illnesses in the clinic had been cut by more than half.

But it seemed he’d arrived at an inconvenient time today; there were always some who were bold.

At that moment, the young Enchanting Demon in front of Su Mo was giving her a flurry of flirtatious looks, the buttons of his clothes completely undone.

He was blushing as he looked at her. "D-Doctor Su, I went home and worked really hard on my abs. C-Could you check them for me again?"

Su Mo glanced at his abs. To be honest, they were a far cry from Xuan Qing’s.

’Speaking of Xuan Qing...’ Su Mo’s heart skipped a beat. ’I absolutely cannot let him see this, or else when we get home, he’ll...’

She grabbed a nearby blanket and tossed it onto the Enchanting Demon. "Still not quite there. There’s room for improvement. Go home and keep up the good work!"

The man spoke with a wronged expression. "I... I really have been practicing so hard... Doctor Su, you didn’t even poke them. How do you know my training isn’t good?"

Su Mo’s eyes widened. Before she could speak, the doorbell rang.

Xuan Qing pushed the door open and entered, his cool gaze fixed on the Enchanting Demon lying on the examination bed. "How about I poke them for her? I’m her boyfriend. It stands to reason that I can do this in her place, right?"

The Enchanting Demon on the bed froze, a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Then he quickly buttoned up his clothes, hastily said, "Goodbye, Doctor Su," and fled as if escaping.

A cold glint flashed in Xuan Qing’s eyes. ’That’s all the courage he has?’

Su Mo looked at the man before her and asked, "When did you get here?"

He replied in an unruffled tone, "Just a moment ago."

Su Mo narrowed her eyes. "Have a seat. I’m going to pack up so we can go home."

"Mm."

Xuan Qing walked over, picked up the blanket from the examination bed, and tossed it straight into the trash can. After composing himself, he locked the main door from the inside before going to the inner room to find her.

In the dim, cramped little room, he suddenly pulled her into his arms from behind, followed by a trail of scorching hot kisses falling one by one onto the nape of her neck.

"You..."

Su Mo struggled in a panic. "Don’t... Someone might come in."

"I locked the door. No one’s coming." He scooped her up and placed her on the small bed.

Then, he pressed his whole body over hers, lowering his head to kiss her brow, his lips trailing down a winding path.

"How should I tell them... that you’re mine?"

His kisses held an unprecedented aggression. She called his name, her heart fluttering with panic, "Xuan Qing... can we go home first?"

"Mm."

He lifted her from the bed, held her in his arms, and buried his head in her neck, his voice hoarse. "I can’t take it anymore. I can’t take it for another second..."

"...I want you."

His desire for her peaked at that moment.

’But he knew this wasn’t the right place. She wouldn’t like it.’

So he forcefully suppressed that restless feeling.

At first, simple kisses were enough to help him temporarily restrain the restless emotions inside him, but now, those simple touches could no longer soothe him.

But he was also afraid of scaring her, so he never dared to say anything.

Su Mo’s cheeks were red as she leaned against his chest. "But I’m hungry now... can’t it wait until after I’ve eaten..."

He hid the turbulent emotions in his heart, let out a soft chuckle, and kissed the top of her head. "Mm, let’s go home and eat first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the woman before him and walked all the way out.

...

Dinner was a tense affair. After eating, Su Mo forgot to even clear the dishes, running back to her room with a flushed face.

Xuan Qing watched her flustered retreat, a gentle smile flashing in his eyes.

’How could she know that he was actually more nervous than she was?’

After cleaning up the dishes, he went to get something. By the time he pushed open the bedroom door, she had already changed into her pajamas and was lying in bed.

He chuckled softly and took his own pajamas into the bathroom.

The sound of SPLASHING water came from inside.

When the sound of the water stopped, Su Mo grew even more nervous. She got up in a panic and said to the man who was drying his hair, "I-I’m going to get some water!"

The man in front of her grabbed her as she tried to escape, turning to hand her a glass of water with a smile. "Here, drink."

Su Mo dazedly took the glass and had a sip before he plucked it from her hand. The next second, he swept her up and pressed her against the nearby bay window.

’Since she had already agreed, there was no way he was letting her go tonight.’

Su Mo was pinned against the bay window and tormented for a good while. Only when her whole face was flushed red and he thought she was in the perfect state did he carry her over to the soft, large bed.

She blushed and mumbled, "I forgot to buy... that thing..."

"I bought them!" he replied patiently, holding back his own explosive emotions.

Then there was a RUSTLING sound as something was torn open at his fingertips.

At first, Su Mo found it a little hard to adjust, but he was relatively restrained.

She sank helplessly into the tempestuous waves he stirred up.

She had never experienced this side of him, never known that this quiet man could become so wild that she couldn’t handle him at all.

His presence was overwhelming, enveloping her completely. Like a drowning person, she was forced to cling to him tightly, calling his name over and over in a soft voice.

Trapped in his insatiable embraces, she wanted to escape... but he always precisely captured her emotions.

He would always soothe her, only to eagerly and crazily demand more again.
