Chapter 125: Side Story 21 – Waking Up in Your Arms Again

“My place is nothing like your villa.

Are you sure you want to stay?”

Wei Lan asked.

Lu Zijin quickly nodded, afraid that Wei Lan would change her mind.

“Mmhm.

Where you are, I am.”

Wei Lan pressed her lips together in thought for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement.

“Alright, then.

I’ll find you a nightgown.

The bathroom here is pretty small — please bear with it.”

“It’s fine.”

Lu Zijin got up and followed her.

Wei Lan went back to the bedroom and opened the closet to get a nightgown.

Lu Zijin came over as well.

Seeing that Wei Lan had agreed to let her stay, her courage gradually grew.

Her little one really did still care about her.

Lu Zijin moved closer, wrapped her arms around Wei Lan’s waist from behind, and nuzzled against her, acting spoiled.

Wei Lan’s ears turned bright red.

She cleared her throat softly, then took out a nightgown.

“Go take a shower first.

I’ve already heated the water.”

Seeing that Wei Lan wasn’t angry, Lu Zijin hugged her even tighter.

“No.

I missed you.

Let me hold you a little longer, okay?”

Wei Lan’s ears and cheeks grew even redder.

The main problem was that Lu Zijin wasn’t being still while holding her — she was burying her face against Wei Lan’s neck and nuzzling around, making her feel hot all over.

Wei Lan reached out and took hold of Lu Zijin’s hands, which were wrapped around her waist.

“Listen to me.

Go take a shower first.

We’ll rest early afterward.”

Lu Zijin’s lips curved upward.

She leaned up and kissed the tip of Wei Lan’s ear.

“Give me a kiss first, and then I’ll go.”

Wei Lan felt the hands around her waist loosen, so she turned around — only to be hugged from the front again by Lu Zijin.

She was about to say something when she felt a soft warmth at her lips — Lu Zijin had already kissed her.

Lu Zijin kissed her eagerly.

They had been at odds for nearly two months, and she had wanted to kiss Wei Lan like this for a long time.

The two kissed for a while, only pulling apart when they were both about to run out of breath.

Lu Zijin’s eyes sparkled as she stared at Wei Lan, leaning against her arms and unwilling to get up.

Wei Lan felt the same way.

She had actually been thinking about Lu Zijin all along — otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so hurt by those words before.

Her gaze deepened.

Holding Lu Zijin, she turned and pressed her back against the closet.

But Lu Zijin still wouldn’t behave.

She reached up and gently rubbed the back of her index finger against Wei Lan’s throat.

Wei Lan swallowed twice, couldn’t hold back any longer, and kissed Lu Zijin again.

Afraid of hurting Lu Zijin against the closet, she made sure to cushion her hand behind Lu Zijin’s back.

Lu Zijin cooperated eagerly, pressing closer to Wei Lan.

Her little one was even kissing her aggressively now.

Lu Zijin just found Wei Lan even cuter.

Wei Lan kissed Lu Zijin for a while longer, then pulled back slightly.

Lu Zijin leaned against Wei Lan’s chest, catching her breath.

Wei Lan calmed down for a few seconds, then felt shy again.

She blushed on her own and didn’t dare look at Lu Zijin.

Lu Zijin was amused by her.

“Why are you suddenly shy?

You’re so good.”

As she spoke, she leaned in and kissed Wei Lan’s lips again.

Wei Lan swallowed a few times before finally speaking.

“Go take your shower.”

“Wait a moment.

My legs are weak from all that kissing — you carry me over.”

Lu Zijin buried herself in Wei Lan’s arms and acted spoiled.

Wei Lan felt a little embarrassed by these words, but she still bent down and picked Lu Zijin up.

Lu Zijin’s lips curved upward.

She rewarded Wei Lan with a light kiss on the cheek.

Her little one was the best — gentle, considerate, and young with good stamina.

It was only a few steps, and Wei Lan carried her to the bathroom door.

Afraid that Lu Zijin might not know how to use the cheap water heater, Wei Lan opened the bathroom door and prepared to explain how it worked.

Then she saw Lu Zijin follow her inside and close the door behind them.

Wei Lan’s bathroom was very small.

It was barely enough for one person to stand and shower — two people in there felt crowded.

Wei Lan felt hot.

She cleared her throat and pointed at the showerhead.

“This showerhead isn’t thermostatic, but I already adjusted the temperature.

Turn left for hotter, right for colder.

Go ahead and wash up.”

Wei Lan was about to head out when Lu Zijin blocked her way.

Lu Zijin wrapped her arms around Wei Lan’s waist and buried her face in Wei Lan’s chest.

“Leaving just like that?”

Wei Lan’s ears reddened.

“Mm.

I’ll wait for you outside.

It’s way too small in here.”

Lu Zijin chuckled softly.

She didn’t continue teasing Wei Lan, just leaned in and kissed her lips, then let go.

Wei Lan left the bathroom with a red face.

She sat down on the bed and started fanning herself furiously, also turning on the air conditioner.

In just this short time, her T-shirt was nearly soaked.

More than twenty minutes later, Lu Zijin finished her shower.

The conditions here really weren’t great, but her little one was here — even if conditions were terrible, Lu Zijin would still think of this place as a golden nest.

She dried her hair halfway and came out of the bathroom.

“Go take your shower.”

“Okay.

You go to sleep first.”

Wei Lan held her own nightgown and rubbed her ears, which were burning hot.

Seeing her shyness, Lu Zijin’s brows curved.

She had no intention of sleeping.

She had finally caught her little one — she was going to devour her thoroughly.

Wei Lan went into the bathroom to shower.

Her heart felt hot, and she kept thinking about the kissing scenes with Lu Zijin.

As a result, she spent nearly forty minutes washing up.

When she came out, Lu Zijin was leaning against the bed, watching her with an amused half-smile.

“Why did it take you so long?

Come here.”

Lu Zijin crooked her finger at her.

Wei Lan’s heart was racing wildly.

She swallowed a few times, then slowly walked over to Lu Zijin.

Wei Lan turned off the main light in the room, leaving only the bedside lamp on.

Once she was in bed, she lay down obediently.

Lu Zijin smiled and leaned over, kissing Wei Lan’s ear.

She deliberately teased, “You took so long.

Let me check if you’ve washed properly.”

As she spoke, her hand wandered here and there.

Wei Lan was already shy, and her heart was pounding.

Her beloved was back by her side — she had actually missed Lu Zijin a lot too.

Teased like this by Lu Zijin, she used a little force and pinned Lu Zijin underneath her.

Lu Zijin raised an eyebrow at her.

“Oh?

The little one is bullying me now.

Go ahead — show me how you bully me.”

Wei Lan’s ears were bright red, and her cheeks were flushed as well.

“Then I’m really going to do it.”

Lu Zijin burst out laughing.

“So good — ”

Before she could finish, Wei Lan kissed her.

Wei Lan kissed her defiantly.

She was an alpha, after all — very fierce, okay?

And so, Lu Zijin was tormented by Wei Lan until the middle of the night.

She now slightly regretted teasing her little one just now.

How had her little milk dog suddenly turned into a little wolf dog?

She almost couldn’t handle it.

In the end, Lu Zijin was so tired that she fell asleep.

In the morning, neither of them got up on time.

Lu Zijin’s phone rang several times, and she just turned it off.

She was so exhausted that all she wanted to do was sleep.

Wei Lan was also very sleepy.

She skipped her morning classes, held Lu Zijin in her arms, and slept until ten in the morning.

Feeling Wei Lan move, Lu Zijin stirred too.

“What time is it?”

Her voice was still a little hoarse.

Her little dog had been so wild last night — nothing like her usual shy self at all.

She had clearly transformed from a little milk dog into a little hungry dog.

Wei Lan had nearly devoured her bones clean.

“A little past ten.

Are you thirsty?

I’ll get you some water.”

Wei Lan said very considerately.

Lu Zijin shot her a glare.

“Of course I’m thirsty.

I was worn out by a certain little hungry dog last night.”

Wei Lan didn’t get angry at being called a little hungry dog.

She just smiled at Lu Zijin sweetly, as if she were perfectly well-behaved.

She put on her nightgown, got out of bed, and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water.

Then she helped Lu Zijin sit up, let her lean against her, and brought the water to Lu Zijin’s lips.

Lu Zijin was very satisfied with Wei Lan’s thoughtfulness.

She took a few sips and felt much more comfortable.

Perhaps because her mood was good, Lu Zijin felt that her gastroenteritis had completely healed.

The two dawdled and eventually got out of bed.

Wei Lan found disposable toiletries for Lu Zijin and told her to wash up first, while she went to the kitchen to cook.

There wasn’t much food at home, so Wei Lan could only make noodles again.

By the time Lu Zijin finished washing up and came out, Wei Lan had the noodles ready.

“Eat first.

Later, are you going back to the villa or to the company?”

Wei Lan asked.

“I want to stay with you.”

Lu Zijin didn’t want to go anywhere right now.

She just wanted Wei Lan to keep her company.

Wei Lan’s ears reddened.

“Then I’ll take the day off with Xiao Nanyan.

I won’t go to the company this afternoon.

I’ll stay with you.”

Lu Zijin’s brows curved.

“That’s more like it.”

She opened her phone and saw five or six missed calls.

There had apparently been meetings this morning too, but it didn’t matter anymore — she had already slept through them.

Afraid that Wei Ting might be worried, Lu Zijin called her.

“CEO Lu, you finally called back.

There are two important meetings today, and several documents that need your signature.”

Wei Ting sighed in relief.

She had been frantic all morning — meetings that were supposed to happen with the CEO absent, every department asking her questions.

But fortunately, Lu Zijin had finally called back.

Lu Zijin frowned and thought about it.

That was right.

She said, “Alright.

I’ll come in this afternoon.

Reschedule the meeting times.”

“Yes, CEO Lu.”

Wei Ting was now relieved.

She could finally give everyone an answer.

Lu Zijin looked at Wei Lan.

“Then you’ll come to the company with me this afternoon.”

Wei Lan’s ears turned red.

She pressed her lips together and asked, “Won’t that get in the way of your work?”

“No.

While I’m in meetings, you can sit in my office and play, or rest in the break room.”

Lu Zijin smiled at her.

She was serious about Wei Lan.

Bringing her to the company for everyone to meet was a good thing anyway.

She and Wei Lan were going to get married sooner or later anyway.

“Alright.”

Wei Lan felt that she had been a bit too much last night, so she was especially obedient.

After breakfast, Lu Zijin had Zhou Xiao come pick them up.

They went back to the villa and had a simple lunch.

Wei Lan changed into a white T-shirt, light gray casual suit pants, and white shoes.

She looked both pure and capable.

Lu Zijin nodded, very satisfied.

“Alright.

Rest a little, and we’ll leave soon.”

She stood in front of the makeup mirror, pressing a darker shade of concealer onto her neck.

While doing so, she glared at Wei Lan.

Wei Lan blinked at her innocently.

It wasn’t really her fault.

At that moment, with her emotions running so high, how could she have paid attention to where she was sucking?

But Wei Lan didn’t dare say that.

She looked around, didn’t see her old little golden dog tag, and asked,

“Where’s my little dog tag?”

Lu Zijin’s lips curved.

Her little dog had gotten a taste of meat, and now she was willingly putting the dog tag back on.

“It’s in my bedside drawer.

Open it and you’ll see.”

Lu Zijin said while evening out her skin tone with a lighter foundation.

Wei Lan obediently opened the bedside drawer and saw twelve small boxes inside.

The small boxes were even labeled with the months of the year.

Wei Lan took out the September box.

Inside was a cute little golden dog tilting its head, acting adorable.

She very naturally put the golden dog chain around her neck and leaned over to ask Lu Zijin,

“Does it look good?”

Lu Zijin kissed Wei Lan’s lips.

“It looks good.

So good.”

Once the little hungry dog got out of bed, she turned back into a little milk dog.

But she loved both.

Hearing Lu Zijin’s praise, Wei Lan nuzzled against her very clingily.

Lu Zijin’s lips carried a smile as she barely managed to cover the scattered marks on her neck.

A little after two in the afternoon, Zhou Xiao drove Lu Zijin and Wei Lan to the entrance of Lu Corporation.

Wei Lan obediently followed Lu Zijin into the elevator.

The people in the first-floor lobby, including the receptionists, immediately started gossiping.

Countless milk tea chat groups were buzzing with the news.

[Wow, major news!

CEO Lu walked into the elevator with a young female alpha, and they were laughing and chatting together.]

[Really?

I thought CEO Lu didn’t like alphas?]

[I don’t know, but that little alpha is gorgeous — better looking than a movie star.

No wonder she caught CEO Lu’s eye.]

[Any pictures?

Ahhh, I’m so curious!]

[No.

Who would dare take a picture?]

Wei Lan knew nothing about any of this.

She obediently stayed by Lu Zijin’s side and followed her into the CEO’s office.
