After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him

Chapter 196: Chapter 196: It Seems He Has Given Up Struggling Chapter 196: Chapter 196: It Seems He Has Given Up Struggling Xia Wenyan had intended to follow, but Zhao Xi, who had come with him, stopped him.

He could tell that Song Sinian’s expression was not good and that Xia Wenyan’s presence would be of no use; it was perhaps better to leave only Lu Zhaozhao there.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhaozhao, who had followed Song Sinian through the door, stumbled and almost fell due to his rapid pace.

“Song…”

Her small mouth hadn’t even had a chance to say something when Song Sinian pressed her against the recently closed door.

Song Sinian’s large hand tightly gripped her lower back, while his other hand clasped the back of her neck.

He leaned over slightly, his kisses raining down without any technique or order.

Whether it was because he had walked too hurriedly just before, his breath was very chaotic, its heat falling upon her small face.

Lu Zhaozhao’s breathing became noticeably irregular, influenced by this breath.

She even felt a bit dizzy and short of oxygen.

Lu Zhaozhao extended a small hand, trying to push Song Sinian away a little, “Song, Mr. Song… ah…”

She had just caught her breath when Song Sinian once again sealed her small mouth.

Unlike before, his heavy body almost fully weighed down on her petite frame.

Their burning skin, separated only by thin layers of clothing, rubbed against each other frantically, causing their already racing hearts to beat even more wildly.

“Thump, thump…”

The sound of their hearts beating was restless against their tightly pressed chests.

The familiar cold scent at the bridge of her nose almost made Lu Zhaozhao lose herself completely in the moment.

Suddenly, when the taut buttons on her back became undone and his scalding palm turned over at her chest, she snapped back to reality instantly.

Her entire body froze on the spot.

Had Song Sinian gone mad?

Was he going to do this in the lounge?

Although they were husband and wife, and such matters would naturally take place sooner or later, doing it in this kind of place… wasn’t quite appropriate, was it?

Moreover, this lounge was just temporarily set up and had no soundproofing at all!

Lu Zhaozhao immediately felt herself breaking into a sweat.

Song Sinian, sensing something off with Lu Zhaozhao, halted his movements as well.

When he looked down, he saw Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes wet and reddened at the corners, as if she had been bullied.

Song Sinian belatedly realized what he was doing and suddenly came to his senses.

Especially the unusually soft feel in his hands, which made him freeze on the spot just like Lu Zhaozhao.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but upon seeing Lu Zhaozhao’s averted small face, Song Sinian felt his heart cool by half.

But things had already come to this point, and he had no room for reparations.

Song Sinian’s dark eyes paused, hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly let go of Lu Zhaozhao.

And the latter immediately turned her back to re-fasten the buttons that had “accidentally” come undone in a hurry.

She didn’t understand how Song Sinian had acquired the skill of undoing buttons with one hand, but she clearly hadn’t gotten used to it yet, her entire small face flaming red.

Lu Zhaozhao adjusted her clothes slightly and, with her back to Song Sinian, had no idea how to break the awkward silence.

Just as she was pondering what to say, she heard Song Sinian’s cold voice, “I… I’ll go back first.”

Saying this, he reached out for the lounge door.

Lu Zhaozhao felt a sinking feeling in her heart and instinctively pressed down on his hand that had grasped the door handle, firmly locking the door.

Song Sinian was even more stunned now.

His dark eyes looked at Lu Zhaozhao, revealing a rare look of confusion.

Why wouldn’t she let him leave?

He thought that, after what he had just done, Lu Zhaozhao wouldn’t even want to see him.

He wished he could just disappear.

As Song Sinian thought this, a sudden pain pierced his chest.

He looked at Lu Zhaozhao with a glimmer of hope, maybe… things weren’t as serious as he thought?

But when his gaze met Lu Zhaozhao’s slightly angry eyes, Song Sinian’s heart plummeted once again.

It seemed she didn’t want to let him off easily, which was why she had asked him to stay, right?

Lu Zhaozhao observed the constantly changing expressions on Song Sinian’s face, which were really too complex.

She had no idea what Song Sinian was thinking right now.

Previously, it was almost impossible to read any emotional change on Song Sinian’s face, but strangely, she could easily catch his thoughts.

Now that he showed a slight improvement emotionally, she found him harder to read.

Lu Zhaozhao frowned, her gaze fixed on Song Sinian as she took a good look at him and said firmly, “Mr. Song, let’s have a proper talk!”

Song Sinian visibly flinched, looking away, “I don’t want to talk.”

He said this while his gaze fell directly on the doorknob.

If it weren’t for Lu Zhaozhao standing by the door, he looked like he was about to walk out right then and there.

Lu Zhaozhao instantly felt annoyed. She reached out, grabbed Song Sinian’s chin, forcing him to face her, and said word by word, “You have to talk even if you don’t want to! I am very angry right now! You have to appease me!”

…

Song Sinian did not respond, but his hand slowly released the doorknob.

It seemed he had given up on the struggle.

Lu Zhaozhao internally breathed a sigh of relief.

She took Song Sinian’s hand and led him to the couch in the lounge, then straddled it with a swing of her leg.

Song Sinian looked up at Lu Zhaozhao with a bit of surprise, his lips pressed tightly, and the words he wanted to say remained unspoken.

Lu Zhaozhao cupped Song Sinian’s cheeks with her hands, her eyebrows furrowing even more.

Song Sinian had been acting strange since he arrived.

He wasn’t the type to be emotionally expressive, and given his expressive disorder due to depression, it was even less likely that he would do what he had done earlier.

After all, the last time he kissed her in public was due to a misunderstanding.

“What happened today that upset you?” Lu Zhaozhao’s gaze was fixed on Song Sinian, as if looking for clues in his face.

But Song Sinian just lowered his eyelids, “Nothing.”

He subconsciously fiddled with the multicolored hair tie on his wrist, then held it tightly.

Lu Zhaozhao was even more shocked now.

Song Sinian was actually lying to her!!!

She used to think Song Sinian would never keep anything from her…

Lu Zhaozhao instantly deflated like a punctured balloon.

She looked at Song Sinian with a grieving face and said slowly, “Song Sinian, do you not like me anymore? Or are you planning to find a new wife?”

Lu Zhaozhao’s two questions utterly startled Song Sinian; without thinking, he immediately shook his head. “No, I like, I…”

His words stopped abruptly.

His dark pupils fell again.

He was afraid Lu Zhaozhao didn’t like him, that she would leave him.

That she might like that other man.

In the office, he had seen that man’s profile.

After all these years, his personality remained just as Lu Zhaozhao had once liked.

Seeing him joking and laughing with Lu Zhaozhao on a variety show, he became frightened…
