Their bodies gradually tumbled onto the bed, and just as he was unbuckling his belt, Gu Lili's phone rang.
Engrossed in more pressing matters, she answered the call on speaker and placed the phone beside the pillow.
He Meimei's panicked voice burst through the line, her words tumbling out in a frantic rush, as if afraid Gu Lili might hang up upon hearing her. "I'm being followed by three strange men on South Wei Commercial Street—can you ask Mr. Long to come? Or send someone? I'm terrified."
The two exchanged a glance. Gu Lili picked up the phone. "Miss He, your theatrics are truly unparalleled. I don't know how you got my number, but in situations like this, you should dial 110, not me."
"I tried—it didn't go through." He Meimei's voice trembled with genuine fear. "I know what I did is unforgivable, but Mr. Long isn't answering. I only just got your number today—please, help me one last time."
Before Gu Lili could respond, Long Yubei snatched the phone from her hand and uttered a single, icy word: "Leave."
He ended the call and deleted the number without hesitation.
Gu Lili let out a soft laugh at his reaction. "That 'leave' of yours was quite striking."
Long Yubei powered off the phone and tossed it aside, his dark eyes simmering with irritation. "I don't want to hear her name again. Whether she staged this or is actually being followed, it's none of my concern."
His attitude pleased her. As an ex-boyfriend, no matter what reasons she'd had for ending things, he had still helped her time and again out of lingering sentiment. Yet she remained unsatisfied—there was nothing more to say.
...
Having gone days without touching his beloved wife, Long Yubei's mood was hardly dampened by the interruption.
With just two kisses, he was already burning with desire.
Impatience overtook him—he merely tugged down his zipper before attempting to press forward.
But at the critical moment, she stopped him firmly, biting her lip as she whispered, "I need foreplay."
"As you wish."
Suppressing the urge to plunge into her, he bent down, capturing her soft lips in a deep, possessive kiss, his tongue sweeping through her mouth.
Between kisses, he shed his clothes, stripping himself bare.
Gu Lili inhaled his intoxicating scent, wrapping her legs around his narrow waist as she melted into the kiss.
After a while, his lips trailed downward, teasing her rosy peaks with playful nips and fervent suction.
"Mmm…" Her toes curled involuntarily.
He continued his descent, blazing a path down her stomach and beyond.
Determined to please her, Long Yubei took matters into his own hands—and mouth. Sliding his hands beneath her thighs, he lavished her with his tongue, coaxing out breathy gasps.
"Ah—ah!" Her breath hitched as her fingers tangled in his dark hair, pulling him closer, desperate for more.
Long Yubei paused, lifting his head. "Trying to suffocate me?"
"Hurry…" she urged, cheeks flushed. "Don't stop."
The sight of her—lips parted, body arching—filled him with delight. He lowered his head once more.
Nearly half an hour later, Gu Lili finally ached for him. "Inside. Now."
He rose, his hardened length poised at her entrance. With a single thrust—
