Chapter 709: Chapter 705: Toss and Turn (1)_1

Situ Xin, being extraordinarily obedient to Xiao Muli, remembered suddenly with a jolt as she entered the bathroom, "Tonight, we have to share a room, to share a bed." And the words she had just uttered seemed to show her impatience all too clearly.

"Oh, what was I thinking, how could I have said that?" With cheeks flushed with embarrassment, Situ Xin climbed directly into bed, pulled the covers over herself, closed her eyes, and prepared to fall asleep as quickly as possible. She thought that by the time Xiao Muli came out, she would already be asleep, and she wouldn’t have to face such an awkward situation.

But the more Situ Xin wanted to fall asleep quickly, the more sensitive her senses became, the further she was from feeling sleepy.

The sound of Xiao Muli bathing in the bathroom reached Situ Xin’s ears distinctly. It tensed her nerves instantly. Only when the sound of the water in the bathroom ceased did Situ Xin let out a slight sigh of relief. However, before she could fully relax, she heard the bathroom door open.

The sound of the door opening caused Situ Xin’s nerves, which hadn’t fully relaxed, to tighten once again. Her tightly shut eyes also began to tremble involuntarily.

When Xiao Muli finished his bath and came out of the bathroom, he saw Situ Xin lying on the bed, eyes closed, seemingly asleep, and thought to himself that his "Baby" must have been exhausted today, to have fallen asleep so quickly.

However, as he wrapped himself in a towel and approached the bed to give Situ Xin a goodnight kiss, he noticed her eyelashes, fluttering like tiny fans, trembling continuously before he could even lower his head.

Xiao Muli’s lips slightly curled upwards. As he leaned in, his lips almost touching Situ Xin’s, he paused, observing how Situ Xin’s eyelash trembling suddenly accelerated.

"Baby, are you sure you want to keep your eyes closed like this? I don’t mind, really. It feels even more exciting when I kiss you like this," Xiao Muli said with a smirk.

And as Xiao Muli spoke, the warm breath of his words, mixed with his unique scent, drifted into Situ Xin’s sensitive nose.

Situ Xin simply couldn’t keep up the act any longer; her eyes flew open, and she stared at Xiao Muli, wide-eyed.

And Xiao Muli was not having an easy time either. He was hovering right above Situ Xin, almost touching her, and Situ Xin’s distinct fragrance wafted into his nose without fail.

The beguiling scent, paired with the girl he longed for being so close, made it necessary for him to rely on his formidable willpower to control the primitive urges within him.

"Brother Muli, you said you wouldn’t do anything to me," Situ Xin said, looking up at Xiao Muli’s handsome face, so close to her own. Her extraordinary senses made her feel that Xiao Muli, hovering above her, was suppressing something. And there was an almost overwhelming sensation that he was struggling to contain it, so, uncharacteristically, Situ Xin lowered her voice to plead with Xiao Muli.

Thinking about it, normally, if she just acted a little coquettish, Xiao Muli would indulge her in anything. So today, she also wanted to use this method.

However, Situ Xin had forgotten that a man, especially one in heat, can’t withstand even the slightest tease. Her soft voice, like a cat’s call, instantly became the force that snapped the last string.

Sure enough, as soon as Situ Xin’s words fell, Xiao Muli felt something in his brain "bang" and snap apart. Then, throwing all caution to the wind, he lowered his head and kissed those lips he had long yearned for.

"Mmm..." Situ Xin’s eyes widened with astonishment, surprised that her coquetry had no effect on Xiao Muli.

"Baby, be good, open your mouth," Xiao Muli captured Situ Xin’s surprised expression, but at the moment, he couldn’t care less. What he most wanted was to break Situ Xin down and swallow her whole.

However, even though Xiao Muli could hardly control himself, his reason was still there. He would not, and could not, do anything to hurt Situ Xin.

When Xiao Muli spoke to Situ Xin, his voice was so tender it could drip water. During the conversation, Xiao Muli also extended his tongue, gently outlining Situ Xin’s lips. And whether it was Xiao Muli’s tender voice, or his delicate kisses taking effect, Situ Xin obediently parted her lips slightly. In that moment, Xiao Muli’s tongue had already pushed into Situ Xin’s mouth.

This time, the kiss between Xiao Muli and Situ Xin was extremely intense. It only ended when both felt breathless. No, to be precise, the kiss ended not because they were out of breath, but because Situ Xin’s phone happened to ring.

Only then did Situ Xin come back to her senses, pushing Xiao Muli, who was half sprawled on her, away. She steadied her breath and went to answer the phone, leaving Xiao Muli, who had yet to recover from the intimacy, behind.

It took a long time for Xiao Muli to calm down. If it weren’t for that sudden phone ringtone, Xiao Muli wasn’t sure the encounter would have ended with just a kiss. Looking at Situ Xin answering the phone now, disappointment secretly surged in his heart. If not for that ill-timed phone call, his physical intimacy with Situ Xin would surely have progressed further.

As for Situ Xin, who was answering the phone, she secretly felt relieved, grateful for the timely ring. Otherwise, she really had no idea how far things might have escalated.

The call was from Situ Muli, who had received news that the Xiao Family’s branches and the local aristocratic families had suddenly started to move that afternoon. Moreover, their targets were unanimously the same: a girl Xiao Muli had brought back to the Xiao Family that afternoon. They wanted to find out her identity and her relationship with Xiao Muli.

After receiving this news, Situ Muli immediately thought of the family gathering at the Xiao Family that Situ Xin and Xiao Muli were supposed to attend, and he put two and two together, realizing that the person these people wanted to investigate was Situ Xin.

Situ Muli had Situ Xin’s information all encrypted. Actually, even if he hadn’t, it was unlikely that those people could find out any useful information, since aside from her name, everything else was blank. However, Situ Muli made sure they could not even find out her name.
