The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 453 - 453 453 Not Satisfied You Can Kiss Back

453: Chapter 453: Not Satisfied, You Can Kiss Back 453: Chapter 453: Not Satisfied, You Can Kiss Back Under the night sky, Lin Fei and Su Qinglan left the snack street side by side.

Both were silent without a word.

Compared to when they had left Ding Minfang’s high-end women’s wellness club, having encountered Xu Kun’s ridicule and shame on the snack street, Su Qinglan, the enchanting CEO, couldn’t help but wear a hint of melancholy and a sense of isolation on her delicate, fair, and mature face.

To Su Qinglan, being referred to as “sister-in-law” by Xu Kun was a long-standing ailment of her heart.

That’s why a woman always travels with several secretaries, assistants, and even bodyguards—to guard against the potential harassment from Xu Kun!

This time, appearing alone with Lin Fei on the snack street and being cornered by Xu Kun, no doubt, added to the woman’s heart that had gently stirred affections because of Lin Fei’s company, creating blockages.

It was like seeing a pot of good soup that was about to be served, only for a fly to suddenly dart in, inevitably causing a feeling of stuffiness in one’s heart.

Endlessly troubled and even slightly panicked, Su Qinglan didn’t know how to start a conversation.

So she stayed silent.

Lin Fei, walking beside her, couldn’t figure out the enchanting CEO’s state of mind.

He thought the woman might be quietly angry because of his move to kiss her on impulse.

Thus, Lin Fei mirrored Su Qinglan’s silence with his own.

Silence is the greatest embarrassment between two people in private company!

Take Lin Fei at the moment, unsure of what was on Su Qinglan’s mind, he feared she might be brooding over him.

To speak or not to speak was the question!

This silent embarrassment made Lin Fei feel like he couldn’t walk away, yet he didn’t know how to break the ice if he stayed.

Fortunately, it wasn’t just Lin Fei who noticed the unusual atmosphere between them.

Though her mind was filled with thoughts, Su Qinglan too felt it.

If both remained silent, it wouldn’t be good for either.

Thus, suppressing the myriad thoughts in her heart, Su Qinglan clearly said, “Why are you not talking?

Aren’t you curious why someone like Xu Kun would call me ‘sister-in-law’?”

“The past you, I do not know.

The you now, I am very satisfied with.

I——why should I be curious?!”

Having navigated the world of relationships for years, Lin Fei’s appeal wasn’t merely based on his good looks or thick skin.

More importantly, it lay in his accurate grasp of a woman’s emotions.

Just like now, Lin Fei’s seemingly off-topic words were nothing less than a soothing balm to Su Qinglan.

The many worries that Su Qinglan had weren’t entirely due to Xu Kun’s mockery and shame.

More so, it was because she wasn’t sure if Lin Fei would misunderstand her based on Xu Kun’s words.

In short, it wasn’t Xu Kun’s mockery and shame that Su Qinglan cared about.

It was how Lin Fei viewed her!

What she cared about was that her heart, sealed for many years, was showing signs of opening again and had found the warmth she long missed because of Lin Fei!

Her heart stirred because of Lin Fei, so she was particularly concerned about his opinion of her.

And now, with her heart full of apprehension having quasi-asked about Lin Fei’s view of her, she received a satisfying answer and her heart, burdened with a thousand thoughts, immediately calmed down.

“Thank you.”

Her heart settled, Su Qinglan slightly parted her cherry lips and, in expressing her gratitude to Lin Fei, naturally and proactively hooked her arm into his.

A seemingly casual and ordinary action of arm-linking, only Su Qinglan herself knew the complex and difficult path she had walked in her heart.

And only she herself knew what this seemingly casual and ordinary action of arm-linking meant to her.

It signified her complete farewell to a past life of hardships that she didn’t want to look back upon.

It signified her heartfelt recognition of Lin Fei!

At this moment, Su Qinglan truly saw Lin Fei as her lover!

A lover might be a temporary union based on looks, wealth, or desire.

A beloved, on the other hand, is to be cherished for a lifetime after one’s heart has been deeply touched!

“If you don’t care about my past, why didn’t you speak up before?”

Liberated from her emotional baggage, Su Qinglan found herself truly acknowledging Lin Fei.

It was as if she were a wife chatting about household matters with her husband while walking arm in arm.

From the gaze of Su Qinglan, the enchanting CEO, there was not the slightest hint of estrangement towards Lin Fei.

If at that moment, a bystander were to scrutinize her and Lin Fei closely,

they would most likely mistake them for a couple full of affection for each other, out for a post-dinner stroll—indeed a real husband and wife.

As for the drastic change in attitude of Su Qinglan, the enchanting CEO, how could Lin Fei, a veteran of the game of desire, fail to notice?

Lin Fei, delighted to see Su Qinglan free from her emotional troubles, wrapped his arm around her slender waist in response to her taking the initiative to loop hers through his arm.

To the woman’s question, Lin Fei responded quite honestly, “Before, I said nothing because I wasn’t sure whether you were holding a grudge against me.”

“Because of that kiss?!”

“What else?!”

“Honestly, I don’t care about it at all.”

“Really?!”

Sensing that Su Qinglan, the enchanting CEO, ever so slightly nodded her head, indicating to Lin Fei that she truly did not mind his previous impromptu kiss,

Lin Fei heaved a silent sigh of relief yet didn’t forget to seize the opportunity, “Since you don’t mind at all, then I won’t be polite!”

Lin Fei wasn’t just teasing Su Qinglan, the enchanting CEO.

He truly meant to not show any reserve with the woman!

The moment his words fell, Lin Fei’s lips descended upon Su Qinglan, the enchanting CEO’s, luscious red lips with lightning speed…

Under the cover of night, Lin Fei fiercely kissed Su Qinglan!

Having spent a good part of the day together, Su Qinglan, the enchanting CEO, had fallen for Lin Fei.

Continually experiencing Su Qinglan’s mature yet alluring charm, how could Lin Fei not be intoxicated by her?

Su Qinglan, the enchanting CEO, had explicitly told him she didn’t care.

Lin Fei, never one to be bashful in taking advantage, how could he be reserved with the woman!

Of course, he had to seize the moment.

Kiss to his heart’s content!

Opportunities come but once and never return.

To miss out was to waste, and Lin Fei was never one to squander resources.

Especially when faced with a beauty within easy reach.

Wasting is shameful!

…

After a long while, they parted lips.

Su Qinglan, breathless from Lin Fei’s kiss, took several deep breaths.

Her charming phoenix eyes, shimmering with a bashful glow, couldn’t help but scold Lin Fei with several glances.

“When I said I didn’t care, I meant I didn’t mind kissing you, not you kissing me!”

“Is there a difference?

If you feel unsatisfied, I can let you kiss me back.”

Saying so, Lin Fei boldly presented his lips to Su Qinglan, the enchanting CEO, right at the edge of her irresistible red lips…
