Finest Servant

Chapter 291

Chapter 291 Sweetness

With a soft splash, a vigorous figure burst from the water, conveniently catching her falling form and cradling her in his arms.

The Eldest Miss shrieked in fright, feeling herself being enveloped in a damp embrace, yet the chest she fell against was scorching hot.

Lin Wanrong, holding her, made his way to the shore and laughed heartily, "Eldest Miss, I went down to catch some fish, what were you trying to do?"

The Eldest Miss stood there dumbfounded for a moment, then burst into sudden tears, her fists pounding against his chest. "You scoundrel, you damn man, I hate you, hate you! You scared me! I don't want to live anymore—"

Lin Wanrong held her tighter against the tree trunk and spoke gently, "Eldest Miss, look at me—"

Xiao Yuruo glanced up at him, seeing the intense gaze fixed on her, the passionate flame flickering in his eyes. For reasons she couldn't understand, her heart trembled. She hastily retorted, "Look at you for what! I won't look! What are you going to do—"

As his face drew closer, the Eldest Miss trembled violently, her heartbeat racing. Despite being held in his wet embrace, her body was flushed with heat. "You, don't—"

His warm lips descended on her cherry-like mouth. The coolness of the lake water mixed with their kiss, causing a light explosion in her mind, her heart felt like it would jump out, her senses momentarily fading.

"You—hmm—scoundrel—" the Eldest Miss’s tears streamed down, she struggled vehemently, trying to escape, yet she was held firmly in place by his iron-like arms, unable to move.

Feeling his wet clothes pressed against her delicate body, she was flushed with warmth. Recalling their shared past, the Eldest Miss softened, her tears flowing faster, but she clung to his waist tightly, refusing to let go.

Tasting her intoxicating sweetness, Lin Wanrong stopped thinking about anything else. He held the fragile woman in his arms tightly, using his body heat to warm her. Despite it being winter, they melted into each other like two burning flames.

Feeling the unskilled technique of the woman in his arms, Lin Wanrong extended his tongue, guiding her reddened tongue to intertwine with his, savoring the fragrant sweetness in her mouth. Tears stained their faces, Xiao Yuruo could not return to her cold self, her heart was like a feather in the wind, fluctuating between joy and sorrow. She responded shyly and awkwardly to his kiss, a feeling of unprecedented sweetness filled her heart. Although she was soaking wet, she felt a strange sensation, wishing that time could stop at this moment.

This French kiss eventually ended with Lin Wanrong's absolute victory. Under his relentless pursuit, not only a delicate Eldest Miss like her, but even a seductive fox like Sister An couldn't resist.

Slowly and reluctantly leaving her soft lips, Lin Wanrong savored the lingering taste, and said with a sense of satisfaction, "Sweet and delicious, Eldest Miss, from now on, this delicacy is reserved for me."

Xiao Yuruo, her face blushing, buried herself in his chest, not daring to lift her head, she smacked him hard and said, "You dead man, born just to bully me, I hate you!"

"Ah, where there is no love, there can be no hate. Eldest Miss, your deep hatred arises from profound love. I understand fully," Lin Wanrong stated earnestly.

The Eldest Miss felt a mixture of sweetness and bitterness in her heart. Thinking of the intimate scene she had witnessed earlier that evening in his room with that foxy woman, her anger bubbled uncontrollably, tears again started falling. "You've had your fun, and now you throw these insincere words at me. When you were flirting with that woman, I don't know how many sweet nothings you whispered to deceive her, and now you use these words on me."

Damn, it seemed this lass had not forgotten that incident, Lin Wanrong realized. Knowing her stubborn temperament, he couldn't risk offending her at this point and merely laughed it off. "Eldest Miss, please don't misunderstand. My relationship with that lady is innocent. Some things just happened coincidentally, and you happened to witness them. It was nothing more than a series of coincidences, and nothing happened between us. I swear on my honor, I have not behaved improperly with Sister An. My honor, at least, you can trust, right?"

The Eldest Miss snorted and twisted his arm hard, "You make it sound so innocent. Am I blind? I saw with my own eyes how you held and embraced her. Is that your so-called innocence? By your standards, then we must be very innocent at this moment."

Damn, she was sharp. As a businesswoman, she was adept at extrapolating. She had found the crux of the matter immediately. Lin Wanrong sighed, "Ah, as I said, it was a misunderstanding. Don't you think that if I were truly involved with her, I would have locked the door, rather than let you catch us in the act? I am always cautious - oh, no, I mean, I am strongly opposed to such behaviors, extremely opposed."

The Eldest Miss glared at him and said, "You flirt with every woman you meet. Isn't it enough having Qiaoqiao and Yushuang? How many more women do you need to attract?"

"Ah," Lin Wanrong sighed lightly, "I won't deny it, Eldest Miss. Philandering has always been my greatest flaw. I'm trying hard to correct this flaw, to make it less... expansive. But on the other hand, if I weren't a philanderer, I fear I would never have understood your feelings, Eldest Miss. Ah, to lack your company would be a significant regret in life!"

Xiao Yuruo, hit by his sweet-talking, blushed deeply and softly said, "You have such a glib tongue, I don't want to deal with you."

Lin Wanrong silently clenched his fist and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It wasn't easy; the topic had shifted, the clouds had cleared. This lass was different from Yushuang; she was opinionated and assertive, not readily accommodating. Winning her over was no small feat.

He noticed the ball of thread discarded nearby. It had been instrumental in finding the Eldest Miss that evening. He picked it up and asked with a smile, "Eldest Miss, is this the thread you dropped into the lake?"

Xiao Yuruo's face turned crimson, and she hastily snatched it, saying, "I didn't drop it."

Lin Wanrong looked at her curiously, "You didn't drop it? Then, was it the matchmaker god who intentionally gave it to me to find you? Eldest Miss, let's give thanks. Thank you, matchmaker god."

Hearing him speak, Xiao Yuruo was reminded of their confused bowing at Lingyin Temple, and her cheeks instantly flushed. "Who bowed with you?" she retorted shyly, "If you want to bow, then bow alone!"

Lin Wanrong, however, genuinely knelt and kowtowed. The image of him releasing the red thread lantern that night suddenly softened Miss Xiao's heart, and she moved to kneel beside him.

Xiao Yuruo felt a mix of sadness and joy that night, compounded by the soaking rain. Despite her wet clothes, her heart was filled with soft tenderness. Lin Wanrong, having experienced both terror and surprise, followed by a cold bath in the lake, was somewhat exhausted after all this ordeal.

When asked how she ended up here, Xiao Yuruo's eyes reddened, and her nose tingled. She stared at him and said, "If not for your foolish antics, putting on a good show with that vixen to upset me, I wouldn't be out here, unable to even discern my direction. It was pitch dark, and it was raining. I was cold and hungry, and I didn't know where to go. I remembered Yushuang being here, so I wanted to talk to her. But upon reaching the door, I didn't know what to say. Should I say you're taken with another vixen, about to abandon us..."

She paused, her face flushing slightly, as she gave him an unhappy glance.

Lin Wanrong finally understood. He hurriedly said, "You all are my heart, my life, three quarters of me. How could I ever abandon you?"

Such excessively affectionate words were more than the proud and shy Eldest Miss could bear. Her cheeks flushed, and she gave him a dewy-eyed look. Lowering her gaze, she said in a sultry tone, "Disgusting! I don't want to hear it again, remember that!"

‘Gosh,’ he thought, ‘I couldn't bear hearing it once, let alone multiple times!’ Indeed, women are the most inconsistent creatures. He merely smiled and said nothing. Suddenly, Eldest Miss said softly, "Lin San, are we doing wrong by Yushuang? I feel as if I've stolen something from her. It's unfair to her!"

"How can you even compare?" Lin Wanrong said with righteous words, "I'm not an object, ah, no, I can't be compared to an object. You should think of it this way. Good things should be shared. Just like a great toy. If you both enjoy playing with it, why not play together? It won't bother either of you, isn't that fine?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Three people playing together?" The Eldest Miss's face blushed as she lightly spat out in retort.

"Ah, Second Miss would certainly understand your predicament, just as you understand hers. In the future, you won't leave her, she won't leave you, and both of you won't leave me. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Lin San spoke with a full sense of longing.

The Eldest Miss gave his arm another twist, chastising, "You wish! How will you get past Mother?"

“Haha!” Lin Wanrong laughed arrogantly, "Eldest Miss, is there any river in this world I, Lin San, cannot cross? Just wait for the good news!"

Xiao Yuruo glanced at him, then shyly said, "Lin San, in the future... don't call me Eldest Miss."

Lin Wanrong, surprised, said, "Not call you Eldest Miss? Should I call you my darling instead? That's a good idea."

Eldest Miss swiftly hit him, her face flushing as she chided, "What's this about darling? It's frightening! Can't you use another term? You do know my personal name, don't you?"

Ah, it was indeed nice to call her Eldest Miss. Not only was it stimulating, but it also gave him a sense of achievement. He smirked slightly and said, "How about this? In public, I'll call you Eldest Miss, and when we're alone, I'll call you Yuruo, my darling. How does that sound?"

"Babbling nonsense, I can't be bothered to talk to you." Eldest Miss, blushing with embarrassment, hastily retreated. Lin Wanrong laughed heartily and said, "Lady Buddha, there are demons ahead, allow this humble monk to guide you!"
