Chapter 559: Cross-province arrest!

Lin Yuan felt helpless.

He saw the determination and grievance in Mu Lingxue's eyes.

Listening to her voice choked with sobs…

Lin Yuan knew he could no longer refuse.

He let out a soft sigh, his tense body gradually relaxing…

The struggle in Lin Yuan's eyes was replaced by deep helplessness; he could only let Mu Lingxue take charge of everything.

As the night deepened, the living room held only the two persons' slightly heavy breathing.

Soft light fell upon them, dispelling some embarrassment and tension.

Mu Lingxue's movements were clumsy and inexperienced, yet they revealed an unquestionable determination…

Her tears occasionally slipped from the corners of her eyes.

Tears dripped onto Lin Yuan's chest, warm and distinct.

Throughout, Lin Yuan bore a hint of restrained endurance…

He could clearly feel Mu Lingxue's tension and trembling.

Lin Yuan's heart was filled with complex emotions.

There was helplessness, there was heartache, and also a faint, indescribable flutter.

After two hours, finally, everything returned to calm.

Mu Lingxue ultimately became Lin Yuan's woman.

Thoroughly, she became Lin Yuan's woman.

She went limp, her whole body slack in Lin Yuan's embrace, her cheeks flushed with a faint blush.

Beads of fine sweat still dotted her forehead, and her eyes held only a trace of fatigue and shyness.

She slightly curled her body, pressing her cheek against Lin Yuan's chest.

Thus, she could clearly hear Lin Yuan's steady, powerful heartbeat.

That sound gradually calmed her flustered heart.

Lin Yuan gently raised his hand, hesitated a moment, then finally embraced her tenderly…

Lin Yuan gently smoothed her disheveled hair.

He could feel the fragility and dependence of the person in his arms.

The helplessness in Lin Yuan's heart gradually faded, replaced by a weighty sense of responsibility.

He lowered his head to look at Mu Lingxue leaning against him, his voice low and gentle: 'Silly girl, why must you do this…'

Mu Lingxue said nothing, merely snuggling closer into his embrace.

She lightly wrapped her arms around his waist, burying herself completely in his embrace.

Mu Lingxue sensed the unique herbal scent on Lin Yuan's body.

At this moment, she had none of the policewoman's efficiency and toughness, only a young woman's tenderness and dependence.

Before this man, she shed all pretense and defenses, laying bare her true self.

After holding each other silently for a moment, Lin Yuan felt the beads of sweat on the forehead of the person in his arms.

He gently patted her back, his voice low and soft: 'All right, you're soaked in sweat—go take a shower. Tonight you sleep in the bedroom, I'll take the sofa.'

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingxue immediately lifted her head, her eyes full of resistance.

She again snuggled into his embrace, tightly gripping his waist, refusing to let go: 'I don't want to; I want to sleep with you.'

She paused, her cheek pressed against his chest, her voice tinged with a soft, aggrieved sweetness: 'I also don't want to shower; keeping your scent on me is the only way I can sleep.'

Lin Yuan sighed helplessly, looking at her dependent expression, his heart a jumble of feelings, he hesitated before speaking: 'This… isn't quite appropriate, after all…'

He hadn't finished speaking when Mu Lingxue interrupted him ahead of time.

She lifted her head, gazing at Lin Yuan with clear eyes.

Mu Lingxue's tone carried a hint of decisiveness, yet concealed an almost imperceptible humility: 'Rest assured, I don't need you to take responsibility.'

'I only need to become your woman—that's enough.' Mu Lingxue's voice trembled slightly, yet was unusually clear.

'I know your mind is wild; you won't have only me around. Even if I'm merely your lover, I'm willing… No matter how you play outside, just remember that I, this little lover, await you at home; occasionally coming to cherish me is enough.'

Seeing the determination and humility in Mu Lingxue's eyes, Lin Yuan's helplessness grew even greater.

All his words were stuck in his throat.

Lin Yuan fell silent for a moment, ultimately unable to bring himself to refuse.

He tightened his arms slightly, firmly holding Mu Lingxue in his embrace, responding to her insistence with action.

Feeling his embrace, Mu Lingxue's eyes instantly welled with tears, yet she revealed a relieved smile.

She slightly lifted her head, actively leaning in, and kissed Lin Yuan's lips again…

This kiss carried dependence and cherishing, more intimate than before.

After a moment, the kiss gradually faded.

Lin Yuan scooped Mu Lingxue up in a horizontal hold.

Mu Lingxue naturally wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her cheek against his shoulder, the corner of her mouth turning up in a satisfied smile.

Lin Yuan carried her to his feet, step by step toward the bedroom, reached out to push open the bedroom door, entered, and then locked it behind him…

……

After a night of intimacy, the sky gradually lightened.

Dawn seeped through the curtains' gaps into the bedroom, falling upon the two entwined sleepers, tracing soft outlines.

Lin Yuan woke first, slowly opening his eyes.

He felt the warm, supple body in his arms, and a strange warmth surged in his heart.

He lightly shifted his body, surprised to discover that after a night's rest and the subtle influence of his own Ghost Doctor Sect medical technique, his injuries had greatly improved.

The rib pain had eased by half, his limbs had recovered much strength, and he was no longer as weak as before.

Lin Yuan carefully withdrew his arm from under Mu Lingxue's head, gently tucking the blanket edge for her.

Watching her peaceful sleeping face, Lin Yuan's lips curled with a helpless tenderness.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan tiptoed out of bed, got dressed, and walked into the kitchen…

The kitchen still had a decent assortment of ingredients.

Lin Yuan rolled up his sleeves, skillfully washed the rice and cooked porridge, fried a few golden sunny-side-up eggs, and stir-fried a light side dish.

Soon, a rich aroma drifted from the kitchen, filling the whole living room.

"Mm…" In the bedroom, Mu Lingxue blinked open her eyes, dazed.

She twitched her nose, catching the fragrant scent wafting through the air.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly sat up.

The soreness in her body instantly reminded her of last night's intimacy, and Mu Lingxue's cheeks flushed involuntarily.

Mu Lingxue got dressed, gently pushed open the bedroom door, and walked out…

At a glance, she saw the dining table laid with steaming hot breakfast.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan was walking out of the kitchen holding the last bowl of porridge.

"Awake?" Lin Yuan saw her and spoke softly.

His voice, hoarse from just waking, was especially gentle: "Come eat breakfast while the porridge is still hot."

Mu Lingxue nodded and quickly walked to the table to sit down.

She picked up a spoon, scooped a mouthful of porridge, and put it in her mouth.

The warm porridge slid into her stomach, so comforting that she narrowed her eyes.

The two ate breakfast in silence, the air filled with a warm atmosphere.

Soon, the breakfast was finished.

Mu Lingxue set down her utensils and looked at Lin Yuan.

She suddenly rose, walked over, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Mu Lingxue tiptoed and kissed his lips.

This kiss carried the freshness of morning, with a hint of proactive ardor.

After a moment, Mu Lingxue slowly withdrew, her cheeks flushed.

Her eyes held a hint of allure as she cooed, "Last night… wasn't enough; I want more…"

Lin Yuan stared for a moment, then helplessly shook his head.

Lin Yuan said helplessly, his tone tinged with indulgence: "You little vixen, your craving is quite strong."

He paused, pointed to his chest, and said helplessly: "I'm still injured; I can't withstand your tossing about."

"It's fine!" Mu Lingxue shook her head, her eyes full of anticipation and shyness.

She reached out and took his hand, saying, "Don't move; I'll do the moving…"

Before her words faded, she pulled Lin Yuan's hand and dragged him back into the bedroom…

The bedroom door slammed shut with a "bang," blocking out the morning light.

……

In the bedroom, the ambiguous atmosphere rose again.

Mu Lingxue was proactive and fervent, throughout carefully accommodating Lin Yuan's injuries… for fear of hurting him.

Although Lin Yuan had reservations, he couldn't resist her gentle onslaught…

He could only passively endure.

They lingered for a long time, only stopping when the sun was high.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan's face turned slightly pale, evidently still somewhat strained.

Seeing this, Mu Lingxue felt heartbroken, proactively got up to prepare warm water for him, and thoughtfully laid out clean clothes.

After a simple wash-up, their fatigue lessened considerably.

"I need to go to work at the Public Security Bureau," Mu Lingxue said, straightening her work uniform.

As she reached the door, she glanced back at Lin Yuan, eyes full of reluctance, saying, "See you tonight."

Lin Yuan nodded and cautioned, "Be careful on the road."

After seeing Mu Lingxue off, Lin Yuan also tidied up briefly.

He changed into clean casual clothes and headed to the Su Group for work.

After a night's rest and adjustment of his own medical technique, his injuries were no longer serious, though they still needed some time to fully recover.

Arriving at the Su Group, Lin Yuan continued to immerse himself in his busy work.

……

Time flew by, and before he knew it, evening had arrived.

Below the Su Group building, a familiar Range Rover SUV slowly pulled up.

Mu Lingxue, wearing her police uniform, stepped out of the vehicle.

At that moment, Lin Yuan had just gotten off work; exiting the office building, he saw her.

"Lingxue?" Lin Yuan stepped forward, somewhat surprised, asking, "How did you come here?"

"I have some work-related matters to discuss with you." Mu Lingxue smiled, her tone gentle: "I'll invite you to a nearby restaurant for a meal; we can talk while we eat."

Lin Yuan didn't refuse, following Mu Lingxue into a nearby quiet Western restaurant.

The two found a seat by the window and sat down.

After finishing the meal, Mu Lingxue went straight to the point, her expression turning serious: "Lin Yuan, regarding the Thunder Tiger Sect, I have a plan."

Lin Yuan lifted his gaze toward her, gesturing for her to continue.

"I've organized the relevant information on the Thunder Tiger Sect; they are involved in drug trafficking, organ trade, robbery, and multiple serious crimes, their nature extremely heinous." Mu Lingxue's tone carried a hint of gravity.

"I plan to request a team to arrest the Thunder Tiger Sect's headquarters, but the sect has been rooted in Gan Province for years, with intertwined forces; local police might have oversights, so I intend to coordinate with police from other provinces to ensure everything goes smoothly." Mu Lingxue's tone carried a hint of gravity.

Saying this, Mu Lingxue's eyes firm: "Next, I will completely eradicate the Thunder Tiger Sect!"

She paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Yuan.

"Most of the Thunder Tiger Sect's members are ancient martial practitioners, not weak in strength; although we have many police, we might be at a disadvantage when facing such practitioners. I need your support, to go with me to Gan Province to help us restrain those ancient martial experts." Mu Lingxue's tone carried a plea.
