Chapter 347: That Animal

"Xunge," An Yinan called out.

Chen Xun said in a low voice, "I'm here."

An Yinan was currently in a half-asleep, half-awake state, and immediately muttered, "I missed you."

Chen Xun immediately turned over and pressed An Yinan beneath him, his arms braced against the bed for fear of hurting her.

"What did you say?" Chen Xun asked coaxingly.

An Yinan opened her eyes, and suddenly they curved slightly, like the bright moon in the sky.

Her soft, pink lips parted slightly, and one could even see her slightly reddened tongue.

"I said..." An Yinan slowly regained her clarity, and seeing the man on top of her, her eyes filled with smiles.

"I said I missed you."

As An Yinan finished speaking, she lifted her head and kissed his chin directly, then moved downward to kiss his Adam's apple.

Immediately feeling Chen Xun's swallowing motion, she gave a sly smile.

And at this moment, Chen Xun felt that wherever her slightly cool lips landed, that spot became burning hot.

"You started this," Chen Xun said, his voice low and husky, looking at An Yinan with eyes that were now filled with ink-black darkness.

As he finished speaking, his lips pressed down, licking her lips without a word, grinding her soft, pink lips into a pale red.

His tongue even skillfully pried open her pearly teeth, inviting her to dance with him.

The temperature in the room kept rising, and the quilt had been thrown somewhere unknown.

The curtains were drawn, and there were no lights on in the room, only the faint light filtering in through the curtains.

An Yinan was kissed until she couldn't catch her breath, and she pushed Chen Xun lightly.

Chen Xun immediately released her lips.

It was too sweet; he hadn't been able to control himself for a moment.

An Yinan took deep breaths, and suddenly, with a shift in position, An Yinan was sitting on top of Chen Xun.

Although Chen Xun had been bracing himself against the bed the whole time, he was still afraid of crushing Nan Nan.

"Mm." The sudden movement made An Yinan cry out in surprise.

In the dim environment, Chen Xun looked at An Yinan's appearance; although it wasn't clear, it was a unique sensation.

Her messy hair, her eyes filled with a hazy, spring-water-like allure, her red lips slightly swollen—the previous movements had caused her pajamas to tilt, revealing her fair, rounded shoulders.

It was as if a goddess from the nine heavens had descended to earth, stained with the aura of the mortal world.

Chen Xun applied a little force, pulling her to look him in the eye.

"Nan Nan." His husky voice carried restraint, suppressing the madness he wanted to unleash.

An Yinan saw the restraint in his eyes, as well as the thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

"I'm here," An Yinan said softly, her voice trembling slightly.

But her mischievous little hands were not idle; they had already moved down from his face, lingering especially long on his Adam's apple and circling it.

This stirred up ripples in the depths of Chen Xun's heart.

Chen Xun let out a muffled groan, his entire body tensing up.

An Yinan felt the muscles beneath her tense up, as if they were an iron plate.

Chen Xun pressed her directly against his lips, holding her mischievous little hands in his own.

Their breaths merged together.

A room full of spring breeze!

When Nan Nan woke up, she didn't know what time it was, and her watch was no longer on her wrist.

There was a glass of water on the small table; she figured Chen Xun must have put it there.

She stretched out her arm, and the quilt slid down, revealing red marks all over her body.

"That animal," An Yinan cursed helplessly.

She drank a few sips of water and, enduring the ache in her waist, bolted the door from the inside.

Although Chen Xun had locked it from the outside when he left, fearing to disturb her rest, it was Chen Xun she was guarding against.

Only after she had engaged the bolt did she feel at ease entering her space to take a proper bath, only then feeling like she had come back to life.

The soreness in her waist also eased quite a bit.

She ate some fruit from the space, mainly because she was afraid Chen Xun would come to deliver food in a while; after all, based on her understanding, that man would certainly not forget that his lovely wife was hungry.

She ate a little fruit to pad her stomach and then hurried out of the space.

The room had already been tidied up, the bedsheets had been changed, and the dirty sheets were nowhere to be found in the room; she didn't know where he had taken them.

"Nan Nan." Chen Xun returned, opened the lock, and without pushing the door open, he knew his wife was already awake.

An Yinan was still groggy, and only upon hearing the knock and her own name did she wake up.

Right, she had bolted the door.

After opening the door, Chen Xun finally let out a sigh of relief.

He had called out for a long time and had been worried that something had happened to Nan Nan.

Although this was the Military District Guest House, he still couldn't rest easy.

Having just caught that gang of human traffickers, who knew if there would be retaliation?

"When did you wake up?" Chen Xun asked.

An Yinan rolled over, "An hour ago, then I fell back asleep."

Chen Xun smoothed her hair and then tied it up for her from behind.

It was a habit formed at the Northeast Camp; as long as they were together, he would tie her hair, unless he wasn't by her side when she woke up.

"Hungry, right? I just received orders from the Northeast Military Region, so I came back late," Chen Xun explained.

The time they could spend together was very short, so both of them cherished it exceptionally.

An Yinan shook her head, looking with a grin at the man busy for her sake; it was truly wonderful, this was her man.

"It's alright, I'm not too hungry." She had eaten quite a lot of fruit just now; perhaps the sugar content had taken effect? She really wasn't very hungry right now!

Chen Xun looked at the person staring at him; her direct gaze made him feel happy.

"Then eat a little bit?" Chen Xun asked.

"Okay, let's eat together," An Yinan said.

What else could Chen Xun do? He responded softly, "Okay."

He set the food out, then handed her a pair of chopsticks, which An Yinan took.

"Your mission is finished, right?" An Yinan asked.

She now had some understanding of their missions.

It wasn't that Chen Xun had told her; it was mainly because she had participated in it, so it was impossible for her not to know.

"Almost, we still have to wait for notification from above," Chen Xun said.

He remembered the matter of An Yinan asking him for personnel that morning, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Nan Nan, for your factory management staff, must they be people with sound bodies?"

Upon hearing this, An Yinan also understood roughly what Chen Xun meant.

She also understood the situation of the person he was recommending.

"Not necessarily. Actually, I was planning to put two people in this factory: one mainly responsible for the factory's finances, and the other responsible for internal and external supervision."

"After all, people's hearts can change; one must always take some precautions."

Better safe than sorry; the old sayings from ancient times are not without reason.

"Xunge, what is the situation with the person you are recommending?"

"He must be nearly forty years old this year, right? The year I enlisted, he was my Battalion Commander." Chen Xun fell into deep thought.

However, he thought of something and did not say it, and Nan Nan considerately did not ask.

Having reached this point, it could not be anything good, so why bother tearing open old scars?
