Chapter 101: Chapter 101 The Peevish ChildRong Shaoze narrowed his eyes as he stared at her, momentarily stupefied upon seeing the bright smile that spread across her face, reaching her eyes.

    Since he had met her, she always seemed indifferent and melancholy to him.

    She was either expressionless, extremely angry, or it was an aggrieved, forbearing look that she wore.

    Even her laughter was hollow, with no real sense of joy emanating from within.

    But at this moment, her smile was genuine, as bright as the noon sun, so intense it was almost blinding.

    Her laughter reached his ears, making his heart clench, an unknown emotion spreading within him, leaving him somewhat at a loss.

    This uncontrollable feeling was something Rong Shaoze very, very much disliked!

    Clenching the bedsheets beneath him, he growled irritably, "Have you laughed enough? Hurry up and treat me again!"

    Lin Xinlan abruptly reined in her smile. The cheerful expression on her face disappeared in an instant, and the laughter vanished from her eyes.

    Rong Shaoze became even more irritable. "Move faster, you damn woman, this is all your fault!"

    Sullenly, he lay back down with a restless demeanor, resembling a sulky child who had been teased and was now in a bad mood.

    Lin Xinlan curled her lip and began to remove the thorns again. This time she discarded the extracted thorns before starting to pack up the medical kit.

    "You should rest up. I’ll go out now..." She had barely turned around when she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist.

    Rong Shaoze’s powerful arms encircled her waist, giving her no chance to react, as he pulled her down onto the bed and quickly pinned her beneath him.

    "What are you doing... mmm..."

    He quickly sealed her lips with his, kissing her fiercely, then raised his head, his shining eyes wickedly fixated on her.

    "Lin Xinlan, you don’t really think I’ll let you off the hook, do you? You’ve caused me pain twice. Tell me, how should I settle the score with you?"

    Lin Xinlan felt fearful and guilty, thinking he wouldn’t hold her accountable.

    "I’ve already removed the thorns for you, what else do you want?"

    "That’s what you’re supposed to do, but I haven’t punished you yet. You’ve hurt me twice; should I repay it doubling, or should I repay it tenfold?" His slender fingers began to unbutton her shirt.

    Lin Xinlan knew what he wanted to do. Frantically pushing against his chest, she said hastily, "Your wound hasn’t healed; you need to rest. Rong Shaoze, you must take good care of your body..."

    The corners of the man’s mouth lifted in a broad smile. "My body does indeed need care, of course, it’s up to you to provide it for me."

    With that, he kissed her, leaving her no opportunity to speak. Lin Xinlan struggled in vain and ultimately could only follow him in falling deeper.

    The consequences of Rong Shaoze’s month of abstinence were severe and dreadful. Lin Xinlan remembered it was daytime, but after an indeterminate amount of time, she realized it had become night, and later she found the sky was beginning to lighten again...

    Exhausted, the two didn’t wake up until the following afternoon.

    Lin Xinlan, with her body sore and aching, sat up irritably, shifting Rong Shaoze’s limbs off her, ready to get out of bed.

    The man woke up too, just in time to take hold of her waist, burying his face at her side.

    "Where are you going?" he asked groggily, his voice hoarse and sensual, especially with his bare, well-defined chest, an image too depleted yet attractively compelling.

    This man, so stunningly beautiful – indeed, bedding should not be an activity he partakes in, for doing so brings forth an extreme sensuality...
