From Dropout to Housemaid-The Upper Crust's Favorite - Chapter 119

Su Linyuan was busy in the kitchen making honey water.

Jiang Xianyu lay on the sofa, turning her head to watch him, just as Su Linyuan had watched her cook countless times before.

Her eyes were clear, showing no sign of drunkenness.

After stirring the honey water until it dissolved, Su Linyuan brought it over.

He set the cup on the coffee table, half-lifted her to sit on the sofa, stretched out his long arm, and picked up the honey water, ready to feed her.

Jiang Xianyu looked up at him. The man’s expression was focused; at this moment, he had none of the setbacks he’d suffered with her before, appearing more like his true self.

Su Linyuan brought the cup to her lips, meeting her gaze.

His voice was low, vibrating from his chest, sending a tingling sensation through her as she leaned against his back.

“Drink. Is there a flower on my face?”

Jiang Xianyu lowered her head and drank the honey water from his hand.

The sweet, warm water flowed into her mouth, easing her discomfort a little.

Seeing her enjoy it, he finished the half cup she hadn’t drunk.

When the honey water was gone, Su Linyuan put the cup back on the coffee table.

The woman lay on the sofa, the man kneeling beside her, watching her.

He wasn’t mistaken-today’s Xiao Yu was different. Drunk, all her defenses seemed to have vanished. She didn’t resist his approach, didn’t reject his help, and didn’t avoid his care.

What should he do? He was starting to want to do something bad.

His gaze burned, lingering on her moist, red lips.

Jiang Xianyu caught the look in his eyes, and Liu Lijun’s words echoed in her mind.

She couldn’t back down.

But when the man leaned in, she was still a little nervous.

“Xiao Yu, I want to kiss you. What should I do?” His breath drew closer and closer. “Will you be angry when you sober up?”

Her answer was to hook her arms around his neck.

His eyes darkened. He cupped the back of her neck with one hand and stroked her cheek with the other. “Jiang Xianyu, do you know what you’re doing?”

Jiang Xianyu didn’t speak, just pulled him down a little with her arms, bringing his lips almost to hers.

Su Linyuan hesitated no longer, pressing his lips to hers with passion and force.

Compared to their previous struggles, Jiang Xianyu was especially soft this time.

He sucked deeply on her lips, his breath ragged, unable to restrain his feelings.

Jiang Xianyu felt as if her mind had been muddled by honey-dizzy, a little sweet, and tinged with gentle allure.

Su Linyuan’s face was flushed, red from his ears down to his neck, but even his rising body heat couldn’t stop his advances.

Only when the woman couldn’t help but let out a soft moan did he finally release her lips.

He was still very close to her, so close that his vision blurred. He lingered at her neck, kissing her lightly. This woman was an immense temptation to him.

He couldn’t help but get closer, press against her, even kiss her, until they were both breathless.

He reached up to smooth the hair at her forehead. Su Linyuan’s voice was hoarse as he gazed at her, her flushed face reflected in his eyes. He couldn’t help but laugh softly, “Sweet.”

Jiang Xianyu felt she’d been seduced-her friends were right after all.

Su Linyuan’s fingers brushed her lips unintentionally. He lowered his eyes, still unsatisfied. “Too bad I can’t kiss you again…”

Jiang Xianyu was puzzled.

The man’s lower abdomen tightened, and he said hoarsely, “If I kiss you again, something will happen.”

Jiang Xianyu, a fan of sweet romance dramas and often teased by Liu Lijun, understood instantly.

But how was she supposed to face such a passionate, wild man now?

Su Linyuan took a deep breath, trying to control his surging desire.

His large hand stroked her head, soft and smooth, making him reluctant to let go. “We have a long future ahead.”

As if remembering something, his face grew serious. “Jiang Xianyu, you can’t forget what happened tonight, even after you sober up.”

He spoke so solemnly that Jiang Xianyu’s eyes stung with tears.

She reached out, hooked her arms around his neck, and hugged him tightly. Her small face buried in his neck, her voice muffled and nasal, tinged with confusion.

“I’m sorry, Su Linyuan. I wasn’t brave enough.”

“I really hate this side of myself, but I’ll change. I’ll try. Can you wait for me?”

“Don’t give up on me…”

Su Linyuan hugged her tighter. Her words moved him even more than her kisses.

His voice softened, “Okay, I’ll wait for you. No matter how long.”

Jiang Xianyu’s fingers unconsciously played with his short hair, her eyes red.

She really was terrible, using this way to confirm his feelings once again.

Su Linyuan gently patted her back over and over. Whether it was the alcohol or his gentle touch, she relaxed and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Hearing her soft breathing, Su Linyuan carefully let her go.

Looking at her sleeping face, his eyes were filled with tenderness.

“You said you wanted me to take you home, but you fell asleep first.”

He carried her to the guest room on the third floor, fetched some water to wipe her face and wash her feet, took off her jacket, and tucked her into bed.

This place was not unfamiliar to Jiang Xianyu. In her sleep, she looked relaxed, her brows smooth.

Su Linyuan kissed her forehead before reluctantly leaving.

Back in his room, Su Linyuan was still excited.

It felt like a beautiful dream.

That night, his nerves stayed on edge until dawn, and even then, his sleep was shallow.

When Jiang Xianyu woke up, she was still a little dazed.

The surroundings were familiar yet strange. After a while, she remembered where she was-and what she’d done the night before.

She silently screamed and pulled the covers over her head.

When she went out later, how would Su Linyuan react?

She was a little afraid to leave the room.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Jiang Xianyu hurriedly put on her jacket and smoothed her slightly messy hair.

At the door, Su Linyuan stood there, his expression faintly nervous.

Looking at him, Jiang Xianyu’s mind filled with images of their kiss last night, and her face grew warm.

“Sorry for the trouble I caused you last night.”

Su Linyuan’s eyes lit up. “You remember what happened last night?”

Jiang Xianyu opened her mouth but couldn’t find the words.

Su Linyuan grew anxious. “You forgot?”

The disappointment and dejection in his tone were unmistakable, and Jiang Xianyu’s heart clenched. “No.”

“I-I didn’t forget.”

Su Linyuan’s expression immediately brightened.

He took her hand. “There are spare toiletries in the bathroom here-you know where. Go wash up and come downstairs for breakfast.”

Jiang Xianyu tidied herself up and went downstairs.

A hearty breakfast prepared by Qian awaited her.

But Qian herself was nowhere to be seen.

Su Linyuan served her breakfast, constantly bringing her this and that, his hands hardly stopping.

Jiang Xianyu looked at him and finally noticed the dark circles under his eyes. She paused mid-bite. “Didn’t you sleep well last night?”

Su Linyuan glanced at her, his tone meaningful. “I was kissed by a drunk woman, and I kept wondering what she meant by that kiss. Was I being self-indulgent again? Would she forget everything when she woke up? If she did, how could I remind her…”

“Mm, I spent the whole night thinking about these things.”

Jiang Xianyu lowered her head, thinking to herself, I really am terrible.
