Chapter 197: Chapter 197: To Keep You Company
Before this, she had been alone, and it had been very painful.
It took a great effort to put Xiao Kai to sleep, and even then, once she reached her room, she couldn’t help but cry.
She had barely stopped crying when, unexpectedly, Liu Zheng appeared by her side.
His presence genuinely surprised her.
But when she thought that he had come over because he was afraid she might be upset, how could her heart not be moved?
Having Liu Zheng as a friend was truly a blessing for her.
To be honest, since her husband’s death, no man had been so kind to her.
Moreover, her entire life had revolved almost exclusively around her child and family.
She had hardly any friends.
She never expected fate would allow her to meet Liu Zheng.
"Thank you for caring about me, but I really am feeling much better now,"
she said immediately.
Liu Zheng raised his hand and gently brushed away a tear at the corner of her eye.
"Look, you haven’t wiped this area clean yet, and you say you’re fine. I know what’s on your mind, but I also hope you can be happy and not keep feeling this way,"
he said, then leaned toward her and left a kiss on her face.
Feeling his warm breath, she felt considerably more at ease.
Somehow, no matter what happened, as long as Liu Zheng was there, it seemed she had nothing to fear.
At times, even if she was indeed suffering terribly and didn’t know how to cope in the short term, just having him by her side seemed to provide a great deal of comfort.
"I really thank you for your company these past days."
Unexpectedly, she found herself saying these words again.
Before this, she had used countless opportunities to express her gratitude to him.
And from the beginning to the end, his response had always been that he didn’t think it was any big deal.
He didn’t want her to dwell too much on it.
His thoughts were the same now.
Liu Zheng raised his hand and gently rubbed her head, then spoke gently.
"Alright, alright, don’t be sad, and stop thanking me all the time. We’re friends, after all, and friends should help each other. Or do you mean to say that you wouldn’t help me if I were in trouble?"
Upon hearing this, the woman in front of him froze for a moment before turning her head away, slightly embarrassed, and said,
"Yes, if you’re in trouble, I would definitely help you."
Liu Zheng immediately agreed.
"That’s right. Since you’d help me with any problems I might have, then of course I’m going to help you with this situation. Now, let’s get some rest early, and don’t be unhappy,"
he said, and then lay in bed with her.
Today, Li Yanling was wearing another thin silk nightgown.
It was even sexier than yesterday’s.
Truth be told, when Liu Zheng saw her from outside the window, he had almost lost his self-control, and after such a long delay, he was finding it even harder to restrain himself.
Soon, his hand began to wander again unconsciously.
And the woman whispered softly,
"Even though the elder is not at home, Xiao Kai is sleeping in the next room. Be gentle,"
After hearing this, how could the person in front of her not understand what to do? He immediately nodded and said,
"Oh, don’t worry, I definitely won’t hurt you."
"Besides, haven’t you noticed? I am giving you a massage right now. You seem really tired recently, your muscles are all tensed up. I’ll massage you properly to help you relax."
After carefully feeling for a while, Li Yanling discovered that he indeed seemed to be gently pressing on her body.
She had to say, his technique was indeed very professional, making her feel quite comfortable.
Moreover, a strange emotion started to blaze within her heart.
To be honest, having a friend like Liu Zheng truly made her very happy.
Not only could he actively help her resolve issues when something arose, but he was also there to accompany her when she felt down.
"Ah, that’s so ticklish, don’t press there."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng pondered, he didn’t intend to move his hand away, instead, he pressed down even harder.
"Really, where is it ticklish? You better not be fooling me."
The woman kept rolling in his embrace as if he really found her ticklish spot.
And Liu Zheng then held her tightly in his arms.
"Alright, alright, if you feel ticklish, then that’s just right, I am pressing on your acupuncture points, it’s to help you relax."
After hearing this, Li Yanling looked toward him with a mix of belief and doubt and asked,
"You’re not deceiving me, are you? This is for real?"
"Of course, it’s real, how could I possibly deceive you?"
After saying this, he pressed firmly on that spot again.
"Ow, my dear brother, please don’t touch there anymore, it’s really ticklish."
She truly was struggling on the bed, unable to withstand it.
But it was exactly this that Liu Zheng liked about her.
After tormenting her for a good while, and only when she continuously begged for mercy did he finally stop his hand.
"Please, really, I’m so ticklish, dear brother, stop it, if you keep going, I won’t be able to hold back my screams."
"Okay, okay, I’ll stop, I won’t do it anymore."
"But with you like this, how can I possibly hold myself back?"
He then firmly pressed down on Li Yanling’s hand.
Immediately afterward, he covered her with his body.
Li Yanling, looking into Liu Zheng’s affectionate eyes, indeed began to entertain other thoughts.
She turned her head away, a bit embarrassed.
But to her surprise, the next second, Liu Zheng fiercely bit her lip.
It was so soft and fragrant.
Very soon.
The bed began to rhythmically move.
It was a while before the two of them finally ended, lying on the bed.
"It’s getting late now; we should rest well. Kai should be much better by tomorrow, and by the day after tomorrow, he’ll probably be mostly recovered."
After Liu Zheng said this, the Li Yanling in front of him immediately nodded.
She also believed in everything Liu Zheng said.
If this issue could indeed be resolved,
She would be incredibly happy.
Perhaps because they had been a bit too exhausted just now, it didn’t take long for the two to gradually drift into their dreams.
Waiting, until the next day when Li Yanling just woke up,
She found that Liu Zheng didn’t seem to have left at all, but was lying beside her.
