Chapter 63: Abs, want a touch?

"What is this?"

Facing his question, Ruan Mian smiled slightly, hiding her merit and fame.

"Don't you have the comprehensive plant database? You can search for it~"

With a 'ding', after the Light Brain scanned it, a long string of information about the plant in front of them popped up.

【Lily, also known as mountain lily, perfume lily, heavenly lily. The underground rhizome is a bulbous scale, widely spread, without obvious nodules. The stem has purple stripes, is hairless, and the leaves are scattered. The upper leaves are often smaller than the middle ones, oblanceolate, with smooth edges, hairless, and have relatively short petioles. The flowers are trumpet-shaped, fragrant, mostly white, with purple-brown backs, no spots, and the tips are curved but not curled...】

"A Lily?" Deep surprise filled Huo Junze's eyes.

He stared without blinking, as if he wanted to stare a hole into the flower before him.

"It hasn't bloomed yet. I want President Huo to raise it and witness it bloom with your own eyes under your diligent care. This is the gift I'm giving you."

"Are you giving this pot of Lily to me?"

"Mm-hmm."

His silly expression truly succeeded in making Ruan Mian laugh.

Clearly, he looked like a cold and ruthless CEO, but at this moment, he inexplicably made one want to bully him a little.

Thinking of this, Ruan Mian couldn't help but lean in and speak.

"President Huo, do you know the flower language of the Lily?"

Flower language?

How could their busy President Huo possibly know this.

A pair of eyes were filled with confusion.

She watched as words emerged one by one from her slightly red lips, "The flower language of the white lily is purity, solemnity, and two hearts beating as one; it signifies a happy marriage for a hundred years and lasting love~"

After she finished speaking, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Huo Junze on the head; otherwise, why would he be standing there motionless, like a fool?

Only his gaze remained, tightly wrapping around her.

That color gradually began to turn deep and scorching.

"You, are you really giving it to me?"

That disbelieving remark made Ruan Mian angry.

"What do you mean? Do you not want it? Then forget it, I won't give it to you."

She made a move to take it back, but the flowerpot was stored into the Light Brain by him first, causing her to grab at empty air.

It wasn't entirely empty air, though.

At least she fell into a man's embrace.

Her nose was once again filled with the scent from his body; this time, it seemed there were more hormones at play.

"What, what are you doing..."

"Two hearts beating as one, a happy marriage for a hundred years, lasting love."

He repeated the flower language of the Lily that Ruan Mian had just said, his voice full of temptation, weaving a large net to trap Ruan Mian, this little fish.

Under such a posture, the little fish instead fearlessly looked up at him, her clear eyes reflecting only him.

"That's right, that is the flower language of the Lily~"

"So, you have given this flower to me."

Then could he think a little more?

For instance, were her thoughts toward him just like the Lily?

Huo Junze reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender waist; not daring to use too much force, he only applied a slight pressure with his forearms, wanting to imprison her in his embrace.

Perhaps the atmosphere was too good, their breaths too scorching, the words too direct and explicit, and the fruity fragrance in the air too intoxicating.

Ruan Mian made a rather bold move.

Bold enough to make people look sideways.

She stood on tiptoe and tilted her head toward those slightly sexy thin lips.

A tight seal.

It really was very soft!

Huo Junze's deep eyes widened in disbelief, his Adam's apple bobbed, and the string in his heart that had been plucked finally snapped completely.

He didn't even know how to react.

Fireworks went off in his brain, exploding into a blank slate.

But he didn't need to think too much; the touch on his lips was fleeting, as fast as an illusion.

If not for the fact that the girl in his arms had ears turned completely red, shy and embarrassed.

He wouldn't have come back to his senses so quickly.

Ruan Mian felt more trepidation than shyness.

She didn't even know how she had been so bold as to just kiss him directly.

What if Huo Junze didn't have that intention at all?

Just her, this little bean sprout?

With so many beauties around him, why would he take a fancy to her?

Because she held plants in her hands?

Sigh, he wouldn't end their partnership in a fit of anger, would he?

After the recklessness, she began to worry.

But then she thought, anyway, she had already kissed and hugged him; even if they were no longer allies, she wouldn't be at a loss.

As she thought about it, the palm she had placed on his chest quietly moved downward.

Through the thin fabric, she could clearly perceive the uneven, rock-hard abdominal muscles beneath.

This round, not a loss!

It feels like I still earned something!

The next second, her chin was lifted by a slender finger.

"You..."

Mmph—he didn't give her any chance to speak at all, his lips already pressing down.

Grinding repeatedly against her lips.

As their softness touched, he was like a cunning hunter, testing the prey's bottom line bit by bit, then sweeping them all up in one net.

Seemingly unsatisfied with a shallow taste.

A warm tongue tip swept across, beginning to lay siege to the city and seize the land, not letting a single corner go.

Ruan Mian's scalp was going numb.

How could this person be so good at this?

It made her just now seem like two novices pecking at each other, too pathetic.

Huo Junze kissed fiercely and urgently, wishing he could strip her bones and swallow her whole, constantly demanding from her, attempting to get even more.

But, Ruan Mian only felt that she was about to be unable to breathe.

Her face had turned red, the pink showing through from her neck, breathtakingly beautiful.

She whimpered twice, and the person in front of her finally deigned to let her go, one hand wrapping around her waist, the other hand gently wiping away the glistening moisture at the corner of her lips.

Their smooth foreheads pressed together, a low laugh escaping his lips, accompanied by a deep breathy sound.

"Don't you know how to catch your breath?"

Ruan Mian's apricot eyes were shimmering with water, her voice tinged with a hint of coquettishness.

"Who says I don't!"

"Oh?"

He continued to smile and tempt her, playing foul, "Mianmian is so capable, then I must check."

After speaking, he lifted her chin again and pressed down.

He didn't give Ruan Mian any chance to respond at all.

Everything is best explained through action.

Huo Junze kissed much more gently this time, a death-defying entanglement, amidst a shower of falling leaves and petals, within a tiny world covered by thick ice and snow.

After a long while, the two of them finally separated, panting.

Only, there was a bit more of an ambiguous sentiment in their eyes.

Ruan Mian's lips were stained a rouge red, looking even better, as if he could never kiss them enough; Huo Junze sighed slightly in his heart.

He had to restrain himself a little; he couldn't scare the young girl on the first time.

He could only tighten his hand behind her waist, pulling her tightly into his embrace, smelling the fragrance of her hair, the empty part of his heart completely filled at this moment.

"Huo Junze."

"Hmm?"

Feeling the vibration coming from his chest, Ruan Mian felt a bit like drooling; this person's physique was truly good.

Not a loss, not a loss!

Quietly waiting for Ruan Mian's next words, he felt some anticipation; no matter what it was, he would likely agree to it.

"Can I touch your abdominal muscles?"
