Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Chapter 166: Chapter 166: She Seems to Have Fallen in Love With Someone

What’s more, worried she would fall to the floor, Shen Nian instinctively wrapped her arms around Lu Cheng’s neck after tumbling back onto his lap.

She was in the same position as before, and out of fear, she clung to Lu Cheng even more tightly.

...

’Did I just make things worse?’

Lu Cheng had Shen Nian in his arms once more. Holding her, he looked at her with a smile and said,

"I let you go. You’re the one who came back."

"..."

’I-I didn’t do it on purpose! My legs just gave out, I couldn’t help it!’

’Besides, why did it sound like he was implying she was throwing herself at him?’

’That’s not what happened at all!’

"Um, my legs went numb. I didn’t mean to!"

"It’s fine. I wouldn’t mind even if you did it on purpose!"

He would be overjoyed if Shen Nian threw herself at him; how could he possibly object?

"..."

Shen Nian looked at Lu Cheng with a helpless expression. ’When did he get so good at saying such shameless things?’

After sitting for a little longer, Shen Nian felt the weakness in her legs finally subside. Convinced she wouldn’t collapse again if she stood up, she got off Lu Cheng’s lap once more.

Shen Nian stood up, and this time, her legs didn’t give out.

However, just as she found her footing, Lu Cheng, who was sitting behind her, suddenly reached out, grabbed her hand, and gave it a firm tug.

And so, Shen Nian lost her balance again, tumbling back into Lu Cheng’s arms and landing on his lap once more.

Shen Nian steadied herself against Lu Cheng, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at him.

"You... you, you..."

’This time, it wasn’t because her legs were weak, nor because she was unsteady. It was clearly Lu Cheng who had pulled her back!’

"What are you doing?!"

’Is he addicted to watching me fall or something?’

"I just suddenly felt..."

Lu Cheng paused, pulling Shen Nian a little closer.

"...that the compensation just now wasn’t quite enough."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Shen Nian looked at Lu Cheng, a little dazed, not understanding the meaning behind his words.

However, Lu Cheng didn’t answer her. Instead, he showed her exactly what he meant with his actions.

Looking at Lu Cheng, who was now inches away, and feeling the warmth on her lips, the result was self-evident.

The same place, the same position.

’How could one time with someone as wonderful as Shen Nian ever be enough? It wasn’t. It would never be enough!’

Shen Nian’s breathing grew ragged again. This time, however, mindful of Lu Cheng’s reminder, she didn’t hold her breath so tightly that she became breathless.

’She couldn’t resist, nor did she want to. In fact, she wanted to be closer to him, even closer.’

A long while later, the room was quiet again. Lying on the bed, Shen Nian stared at the ceiling with wide eyes.

She didn’t even know when Lu Cheng had let her go or when he had left her room.

All she could remember was being completely lost in the moment, unable—and unwilling—to pull herself away.

Recalling what had just happened and the things Lu Cheng had said, the heat on her cheeks refused to cool down.

When she thought about the critical moments, she couldn’t help but cover her face with her hands and roll around on the bed a few times.

’I’m done for, I’m really done for... I think I’ve really, truly, completely fallen in love with someone!’
