Chapter 245: Embrace

“Little Xi, you smell so good,” Ye Lan whispered in her ear, her voice was low and sexy, carrying a trace of an undetectable rasp.

Mu Xi’s cheeks flushed again.

She moved her body uncomfortably, trying to break free from Ye Lan’s embrace, but Ye Lan only held her tighter.

“Don’t move,” Ye Lan warned, her tone carrying a hint of displeasure.

Mu Xi had no choice but to stop her movements obediently, allowing Ye Lan to hold her.

Her heart beat faster and faster, her chest feeling as if it were about to burst.

Ye Lan’s breath was too close.

It was so close that she could clearly feel the temperature of Ye Lan’s body, and so close that she could smell the faint scent of cologne on her.

That scent mixed with her own aura, forming a unique, intoxicating fragrance that left her enthralled.

Ye Lan’s fingers began to grow restless, gently stroking Mu Xi’s cheek.

Her fingertips tenderly traced over her eyebrows, her eyes, and the bridge of her nose before finally stopping at her lips, rubbing them softly.

Mu Xi’s body trembled slightly.

She nervously held her breath, not daring to make a sound.

Ye Lan’s fingers carried a hint of warmth as they touched her lips.

It felt tingly, giving her a strange sensation and a sense of longing.

The pads of Ye Lan’s fingers pressed gently against Mu Xi’s soft lips, one after another, as if testing her or perhaps enticing her.

Mu Xi felt her breathing grow more rapid, and her heart rate accelerated, feeling as though it might jump right out of her chest.

“Little Xi, your lips are so soft,” Ye Lan’s voice was low and raspy, carrying a hint of seduction.

Mu Xi’s mind went blank.

She did not know how to respond to Ye Lan and could only stare at her blankly, her gaze blurred and helpless.

Ye Lan withdrew her fingers and instead cupped Mu Xi’s small face, making her face her directly.

“Little Xi, look at me,” Ye Lan said softly, her tone so gentle it seemed as if it could drip with water.

Mu Xi raised her head to look at Ye Lan.

Ye Lan’s eyes were beautiful, like the deepest night sky, shimmering with a charming light that made one unable to resist sinking into them.

That gaze was burning and focused, as if it wanted to suck her entire being inside.

Mu Xi felt as if her soul were being drawn in by Ye Lan’s gaze, unable to extricate herself.

“Little Xi, do you know how cute you are?” Ye Lan’s voice was low and raspy.

Mu Xi’s cheeks were so red they almost looked like they were bleeding.

She lowered her head, not daring to look into Ye Lan’s eyes.

She did not know why Ye Lan was saying these things, nor why she felt so flustered and confused.

Ye Lan did not let her off, however.

She continued, “You are like a small, exquisite porcelain doll. It makes one want to hold you in their palms, to care for you meticulously, and to love you dearly.”

Mu Xi’s body trembled even more violently.

She felt as though her heart was going to explode from how fast it was beating.

Ye Lan’s words seemed to carry magic, making her feel intoxicated yet afraid.

Watching Mu Xi’s shy appearance, the smile in the depths of Ye Lan’s eyes deepened.

She lowered her head, leaning close to Mu Xi’s ear, and said in a deep, raspy voice, “Little Xi, do you know? I… I love you very much.”

Mu Xi’s body jerked violently, as if hit by a bolt of electricity.

‘Unbelievable.’

“You…” Mu Xi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she found her throat dry and could not make a sound.

Seeing Mu Xi’s shocked expression, a wicked smile curled at the corners of Ye Lan’s lips.

She reached out and gently stroked Mu Xi’s cheek, her fingertips sliding softly over her delicate skin.

“What? Are you surprised?” Ye Lan asked softly, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness.

Mu Xi nodded blankly, her mind a complete void, entirely unsure of how to react.

Seeing Mu Xi’s dazed and adorable look, Ye Lan could not help but chuckle.

Her laughter was deep and sexy, carrying a hint of enchantment that made Mu Xi’s heart race even more.

“Silly girl,” Ye Lan said dotingly, her tone so gentle it could drip with water.

She leaned down and kissed the top of Mu Xi’s head, her movements light and full of cherish.

Feeling Ye Lan’s tender kiss, Mu Xi’s body trembled again.

She felt her mind in a state of chaos, completely unable to think.

Ye Lan’s actions had completely exceeded the scope of her understanding, leaving her feeling lost, yet also providing a tiny bit of sweetness.

Ye Lan did not stop.

Her hands became restless, moving down from Mu Xi’s face, sliding along her slender neck, and finally stopping at her chest.

Mu Xi’s body stiffened instantly.

Her eyes widened in terror as she looked at Ye Lan, her gaze filled with panic and unease.

Ye Lan, however, seemed not to notice Mu Xi’s reaction.

Her hand gently covered the softness of Mu Xi’s chest, her fingers pressing through the thin fabric.

“Mm…” Mu Xi could not help but let out a tiny gasp.

Her voice was soft and weak, carrying an unspeakable bashfulness.

Ye Lan felt the beautiful, snow-white sensation beneath her palm.

“Ah…” Mu Xi groaned softly again.

Her voice was louder than before and even more enticing.

Her body began to go limp, and a tingling sensation spread from her chest, causing waves of tremors to wash over her.

“Little Xi, you’re so sensitive,” Ye Lan’s voice became deep and raspy, carrying the flavor of desire.

She lowered her head, leaning close to Mu Xi’s ear and breathing softly.

The warm air puffing against her earlobe caused waves of numbness.

Mu Xi’s body shook even harder.

She felt as if her body were about to melt, turning into a pool of water.

She tightly gripped the lapels of Ye Lan’s clothes, her fingers turning slightly pale, her knuckles protruding from the force.

“Don’t… Ye Lan…” Mu Xi said in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.

Her tone carried a hint of a plea, but also a hint of anticipation.

Hearing Mu Xi’s voice, a wicked smile hooked onto Ye Lan’s lips.

Her little porcelain doll was already beginning to feel passion.

Next would be how to thoroughly pluck this delicate flower.

***

An abrupt knock on the door acted like an insensitive note, forcefully interrupting the romantic melody.

From outside the door came the somewhat serious voice of a member of the Escort Team, asking if Ye Lan needed to deploy the camp immediately and requesting specific defense measures.

Ye Lan’s brows twitched slightly.

The passion in her eyes had not yet fully faded, and a hint of helplessness quietly crept onto her brow.

She called out toward the door, “Come in.”

The member stood capably at the door, but their eyes could not help but glance into the RV, catching a glimpse of Mu Xi’s flushed cheeks on the sofa and her misty, hazy eyes.

The member’s lips curved in an undetectable smile before quickly returning to a serious expression, as if they had just imagined it.

“Master, I need your instructions for the camp deployment plan.”

The member reported professionally, yet their eyes could not help but drift toward Mu Xi again.

Their tone seemed to carry a hint of a tease, “It seems that things on your end… are also quite urgent.”

Ye Lan gave a light cough, hiding the slight upward curve of her lips.

She gave the member a meaningful look, as if saying: You understand.

She turned to Mu Xi’s side, her fingertips gently brushing the stray silver hair by her ear.

She whispered, “Little Xi, be good and wait for me here. I’m going to handle some official business and will be back soon.”

Her tone was as gentle as a feather brushing against the heart, yet it also carried a trace of unquestionable dominance.

Mu Xi’s cheeks grew even redder.

Her eyes darted around, not daring to look directly at Ye Lan.

She only gave a soft “Mm,” her voice so sweet and soft it sounded like she was acting spoiled.
