His molten gold eyes darkened into a glazed caramel shade. Like a fish out of water, he gawked, opening and closing his mouth for a few times. It suddenly became so hard to breathe.

"Oh, Let me pick that up for you." Li Meirong merely kept her head low as she bent down, her porcelain arms sweeping across the floor to pick up the fallen sticks.

Sometimes, the most innocent of situations can instantly become explicitly ambiguous.

"Hn." Grunting in affirmation, Bai Qingyue's slanted eyes narrowed as they locked on the bane of his existence while she bent down dangerously close to the juncture between his legs.

However, the girl remained as innocent as ever. Bright, lucid eyes stared back at him from her kneeling position like a ripe fruit. Sweet and tempting.

His imagination was certainly working overtime tonight. He couldn't help picture her small juicy lips clamping on the tip of his shaft as her fair hands worked their way up and down, just as they did before.

She was driving him mad!

Unable to control himself any longer, Bai Qingyue immediately wrapped his long arm around Li Meirong's slender waist and lifted her up to sit on his lap. The chopsticks she picked up dropped to the ground again.

His grip on her tightened as he heard her soft gasp. Her small dainty palms pushed against his chest, trying to separate them.

"Zhu Qingyue, what do you think you're doing?!" Li Meirong's voice sounded fierce while glaring at him, her behaviour unmatching her tender appearance.

As she writhed on top of his legs, the crown of her head bumped his chin and Bai Qingyue ended up drawing a deep breath, inhaling her scent. He felt himself easily grow intoxicated by her. She emitted a stronger, sweeter fragrance now than she did before.

The girl felt so incredibly tiny and frail in his arms that he found himself relishing the feeling of embracing her all the more. Although he wished for nothing more than to press her tightly against him, he knew it wasn't the right time.

If he was to push her down now, he may very well be able to receive the pleasure of her body, but knew that he still didn't fully possess her, not yet anyway. He acted against his own desires and loosened his hold over her.

After regaining a semblance of whatever was left of his sanity, Bai Qingyue exhaled loudly and playfully teased the girl, pinching her soft cheek, "Why do you always struggle against me? One would think I'm trying to eat you."

Li Meirong swatted his hand away and didn't bother with maintaining her manners any longer as she snorted in response, "Aren't you?"

'Indeed, I do.' Moving both arms to support his wife's waist as she stood up, Bai Qingyue gritted his teeth, masking his true thoughts. He forced himself to clear his mind from the vividly lustful images.

Instead, he righteously justified his behaviour after few dry coughs, "You are mistaken. I only wished to help you stand up. I'm an innocent man being wronged."
