Chapter 25: Relationship Established

As Liu Suyan was washing herself, she heard Lu Qiwen’s excited shouts. She smiled and murmured to herself, “What a silly boy. If I didn’t want to be with him, why would I ask him to bring me my intimate clothes? He usually seems so smart, but now he’s acting foolish.”

Lu Qiwen, overjoyed, ran into Liu Suyan’s bedroom, forgetting all about his injured foot.

He slowly opened the wardrobe, revealing neatly hung clothes. There were many outfits he had seen her wear and some he hadn’t. As he looked down, he was momentarily stunned.

White, black, pale yellow, light red—various colors and styles of lingerie were laid out before him. Most were modest, with only one particularly sexy lace-trimmed silk pair. It seemed Liu Suyan preferred a more reserved and gentle style, which was exactly what Lu Qiwen liked.

However, he couldn’t resist picking the most revealing lace-trimmed silk panties. They felt soft and cool in his hand, the lace patterns adding a touch of sensuality.

Just then, Liu Suyan’s voice called from outside, “Qiwen, what’s taking so long? Hurry up!”

“Coming, I’m coming!” he replied, grabbing a matching bra and the panties before rushing out.

At the bathroom door, he saw Liu Suyan crack it open, her face flushed. He handed her the lingerie, and she quickly pulled it inside.

Standing outside, he suddenly heard her exclaim. She must have realized he had given her the sexiest pair she owned.

Her body trembled slightly as she put on the lingerie. After drying herself and wrapping a towel around her, she composed herself and walked out of the bathroom.

Sitting next to Lu Qiwen, she avoided looking at him, her eyes fixed on the TV.

He could smell the fresh scent of her shower and glanced at her. Her smooth, white shoulder was exposed, her hair cascading over it, partially covering her skin.

He scooted closer, and though she noticed, she didn’t react.

Her lack of resistance emboldened him. He finally moved close enough for their legs to touch. Her body tensed momentarily but then relaxed.

Lu Qiwen gently wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer. The faint fragrance of her skin made him nuzzle her hair.

Her initially stiff body relaxed further, and she nestled into his embrace, finding a comfortable position.

She giggled as he kissed her shoulder and neck, “That tickles!”

He tightened his grip slightly, his hand resting on her flat stomach through the towel. “Suyan, you’re such a tease. Stay still, or I might lose control.”

She felt his erection pressing against her ass and giggled, wiggling her hips slightly, making him groan.

“Don’t be mean. You can’t take advantage of me now,” she teased.

He nibbled her earlobe, “Suyan, you’re going to drive me crazy.”

She turned her head, looking at the bulge in his pants, and smirked, “Serves you right. In a few days, I’ll take you to meet my parents. If you don’t pass their test, you can’t touch me.”

He held her close, “Really? If they approve, does that mean I can…?”

He thrust his hips slightly, making his intentions clear.

She rolled her eyes, “You’re just like other men, always thinking about sex. Maybe I should find a eunuch instead.”

Blushing, she playfully traced her finger over his bulge, “Then I’ll make you one myself.”

He swatted her ass playfully, “You wouldn’t dare. Once I pass their test, I’ll show you.”

After four years of building their relationship, this moment felt natural and inevitable.

Holding her close, he gently stroked her thigh, “Suyan, what do your parents like? I want to be prepared.”

Suppressing a shiver from his touch, she replied, “Father likes calligraphy and paintings, and Mother loves your Beauty Pills.”

He chuckled, “I didn’t know my future mother-in-law was a customer.”

She swatted his hand away as it tried to slip under her towel, “Don’t get ahead of yourself. You haven’t passed their test yet.”

He kissed her cheek, “I have plenty of calligraphy and paintings at home, and I bet a dozen Beauty Pills will win over your mother.”

Her eyes sparkled, and she sat up, looking at him intently, “Hand over those Beauty Pills. From now on, I’ll be in charge of them.”

He laughed, “You sound like a housekeeper.”

Blushing, she insisted, “Come on, I want to see them.”

He produced four or five jade bottles from his pocket. She grabbed them eagerly, examining them with satisfaction.

Leaning back into his arms, she played with the bottles, not noticing his hand slipping under her towel, inching towards her thigh.
