CHAPTER 142: 140、LIN RUOXI’S FIRST KISS, SO SHY

"Hahaha!" Luofeng laughed. "Don’t be afraid, just close your eyes."

"I won’t close them," Lin Ruoxi pouted.

"Then don’t blame me if my hairstyle looks ugly." Luofeng didn’t miss the chance and, holding her pretty face, kissed her directly.

"Hey, WOO! WOO! WOO!"

Lin Ruoxi wanted to push Luofeng away. After all, they were in the residential complex. If they were in a quieter place, she would have responded. She also wanted to kiss Luofeng. But his hands... they were like pipe wrenches clamped around her slender waist. She simply couldn’t move.

Soon, Lin Ruoxi was deeply moved as well. Although it was her first kiss, under his guidance, she began to reciprocate.

After about two minutes of savoring the kiss, Luofeng noticed she was becoming breathless and passersby were starting to approach. Only then did he reluctantly lift his head, grab her hand, and they ran off.

Finding a bench in the residential area, they sat down.

"Hey, are you trying to hit me? Why so violent?"

Seeing the little pink fist swinging at him, Luofeng caught it instantly. He looked at Lin Ruoxi, whose pretty face was now flushed all the way to her neck.

"My first kiss! That was my first kiss! You’re shameless!"

"What’s shame got to do with it? Can being shameless get me a kiss from such a fragrant beauty?" Luofeng humph-ed.

Seeing her turn her head away in anger, Luofeng poked her slender waist. "Are you angry?"

"What do you think? You forced a kiss on me!" Lin Ruoxi retorted coquettishly.

"Hey, I helped you handle your parents. Consider this a reward, okay?" Luofeng said, folding his arms. "You should know, if I hadn’t dealt with your parents, those blind date arrangements of yours might never have stopped."

"You... how did you know?" Lin Ruoxi was surprised. Indeed, when her parents found out she was involved with a playboy, they had told her to break up with him immediately and had started arranging blind dates for her. After all, they thought this was the only way for their daughter to forget the playboy.

"Isn’t that easy to guess? If I were a parent, I’d definitely arrange blind dates for my daughter to make her forget that kind of relationship," Luofeng said casually. "So, don’t you think you should thank me?"

"I should, but not with my first kiss as thanks!" Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes. Actually, he was right; she couldn’t refute his point.

"Lean on my shoulder a bit. It looks like your parents are following us."

"Oh, oh, okay!" Lin Ruoxi jolted and leaned her shoulder against Luofeng’s.

Then, Luofeng did something even bolder. He leaned in and kissed her again.

"Oh, dear," Lin Wangshu said, looking at her husband, "don’t look anymore. These young people nowadays, honestly..."

Lin Wangshu’s face turned red too. She turned her head away, pulling her husband, Lin Wangshu, along as they hurried home.

Lin Ruoxi had come downstairs to see Luofeng off and hadn’t returned for a long time, so her parents had impulsively followed to take a peek. But when they found them, they saw the two embracing and kissing deeply.

"Honestly, this child... this is a park," Lin Wangshu began.

"What is it? Still on about that ’corrupting morals’ nonsense?" Lin Wangshu knew what her husband was about to say. "What era are we living in? Our daughter finally has a boyfriend, and aside from his average looks, I’m extremely satisfied with everything else about him. Don’t you dare mess this up."

"Who’s trying to mess it up?" Lin Wangshu retorted. "If it’s not all an act, this Little Luo is not only young and promising but also very cultured and well-mannered. During dinner, I deliberately asked him about classical arts, and he answered fluently. I’m very satisfied too, alright?"

Lin Wangshu rolled his eyes. Such a son-in-law isn’t just what my wife, Lin Wangshu, wants. I want him too, alright!

「...」

"Hey, that’s enough! Where are my parents?"

Lin Ruoxi had been forcefully kissed by Luofeng for a minute. She found an opportunity and pushed him away, then quickly scanned their surroundings, finding no sign of her parents.

"Your parents left," Luofeng said, glancing at the bushes behind them. What parents would actually spy on their daughter and her boyfriend getting intimate from there?

"Hey, you didn’t lie to me just to take advantage of me, did you?" Lin Ruoxi realized.

"..." Luofeng was speechless. "If you don’t believe me, go ask your parents when you get back."

"Ask my parents? Ask them if they saw me kissing you? Do you think I could bring myself to ask that?"

"..." Luofeng was speechless again. Women are strange creatures, indeed, so silly. Couldn’t she ask more discreetly?

"Alright, I have to go back now. You go to your hotel. And next time, don’t you dare kiss me without permission, got it?"

"I enjoy being incorrigible," Luofeng chuckled.

"You..."

"Okay, okay, how about I get your permission before I kiss you next time?" Luofeng said, a little exasperated.

"There won’t be a next time!" Lin Ruoxi declared, glaring with her beautiful, wide eyes.

"..." Luofeng said nothing. He stood up, took her hand, and interlocked their fingers. "Let me walk you home."

"Mm," Lin Ruoxi didn’t object to holding hands. Perhaps a direct kiss in such an environment was just too much for her right now.

The two of them walked sweetly to her doorstep. Luofeng didn’t go up in the elevator; he just waved goodbye.

Luofeng knew he couldn’t rush things if he wanted to win her over completely. He found a hotel and checked in alone for the night.

「The next day.」

Luofeng insisted on taking Lin Ruoxi shopping, and they bought a lot of clothes and handbags. Hang City naturally had luxury brand stores. The total came to seventy or eighty thousand.

Luofeng knew that when she finally accepted these gifts, despite her many refusals and attempts to decline, it signified an implicit acknowledgment of their relationship.

Lin Ruoxi didn’t return to Shanghai with Luofeng immediately. Zhang Lan had given her some time off, so she planned to stay home and spend a day with her parents.

When they were parting at the train station, Luofeng kissed her passionately again for several minutes. This time, she didn’t refuse. Instead, she quickly became emotional and responded earnestly. Afterward, she said she would return to Shanghai for work the next day.

Luofeng promised to pick her up then.
