Chapter 416 - Cut It Out and Just Come Sleep on the Bed.

Ruan Yang glared at him with her clear eyes for a while. In the end, she had no choice but to give in. However, she was bewildered. Paris was so cold in winter. It shouldn’t be considered the peak season. Why would there not be a single room left? Could it be that the hotel’s business was really very good?

She booked a high-class room on the fourth floor which was only around 20 square meters. It wasn’t big since she intended to stay there alone.

Li Shaobin strode in and saw that there was even a balcony. He went out and saw the cars driving past outside. He turned back and said with a frown, “Ruan Yang, this hotel you booked is close to the road. It’s a little noisy.”

“You find it noisy? Sure, you can just book another room in another hotel,” Ruan Yang said with a grin.

“The noise is fine. Anyway, we have to get up early tomorrow to go to the airport.” Li Shaobin stretched quickly and sat on the couch on the side. Out of fear that she would be unhappy, he said, “I’ll sleep here. I’m very obedient.”

“You don’t have to keep saying that you’re obedient.” Ruan Yang took off her thick down jacket and lay on the bed. Taking a flight was really tiring. “Let’s rest for a while before going for dinner.”

“Mm, mm.” Li Shaobin blinked and nodded like an obedient baby. “Let me go look up what there is to eat around here.”

He picked up his phone and saw a message from Hu Zhi: Boss, you’re sharing the room with Miss Ruan, right?

Li Shaobin: Yes.

Hu Zhi: Congratulations. You must work hard to get into Miss Ruan’s bed tonight. Quickly delete the message in case Miss Ruan finds out.

Li Shaobin thought that made sense so he quickly deleted everything.

They rested until 6 pm before they left the hotel together. Ruan Yang asked, “You said you were going to look for food nearby. How did it go?”

“Er… there’s lots of Western food around. There’s one there,” Li Shaobin said as he pointed to a very small Western food restaurant.

“You just happened to see it, right?” Ruan Yang sighed. She knew she couldn’t depend on him for such things. “Forget it. Let’s eat there.”

…

They ordered a medium steak, but when they cut it up, there was still some blood in it. The two of them finished it with difficulty before they walked around the streets together. Actually, Ruan Yang decided to stay a night in Paris mainly because she wanted to shop.

The road was crowded so Li Shaobin pulled Ruan Yang into his arms, saying softly, “France is very unsafe right now. It’s better to be a little more careful. You wouldn’t know if the person right next to you is a terrorist.”

“Shut your mouth; don’t jinx it.” Ruan Yang glared at him. He made her a little afraid. “Didn’t you see that there are so many policemen patrolling around?”

“Better safe than sorry.” Li Shaobin continued hugging her tightly.

Ruan Yang found him funny and didn’t know what to do with him. However, because of his height and build, being in his embrace amidst the crowd really felt quite safe.

Occasionally, when she saw something she liked, Li Shaobin would insist on paying. If she were to take out her card, he would even say angrily, “When you’re with me, you’re not allowed to fork out a single cent. I’m not Old Song.”

“What does this have to do with Song Chuyi?” Ruan Yang was bewildered.

Li Shaobin said, “Changqing said that when she went to Paris to film her drama, Old Song only gave her a card with a few hundred thousand on it. Next time, no matter if you’re my wife or my girlfriend, I can give you a card with a few million to spend as you wish whenever you go outside to play.”

“Wow, you’re so generous.” Ruan Yang nodded. “But if I became your wife, I would be the one putting money in your card every month, wouldn’t I?”

Li Shaobin was stunned. Ruan Yang raised her brows. “Shouldn’t I be in charge of your money after we get married?”

“But… Old Song doesn’t let Changqing manage his money.” Li Shaobin was dumbfounded. “Besides, Changqing still has no idea how much Old Song makes.”

“That’s because Changqing is a spendthrift,” Ruan Yang said. “In fact, women are the ones managing the money in a normal family. Men just earn money.”

Li Shaobin scratched the back of his head and clenched his teeth, finally saying, “Alright, as long as you’re willing to become my wife, I’ll even give you all my cards. Why don’t we buy our wedding rings now since we’re in Paris? Diamond rings are cheaper here than back in China.”

Ruan Yang: “…”

“Let’s go, let’s go.” Li Shaobin rushed her.

“Who said anything about getting married? I only mentioned it casually.” Ruan Yang quickly pulled him back. “Cut it out.”

Li Shaobin felt a little down. “Alright, even if we’re not getting wedding rings, we can still get couples rings. We’re a couple after all. I want to wear a men’s ring.”

He even looked for a jewelry shop excitedly and when he saw one that didn’t look bad, he pulled her in. Under the warm recommendation of the service staff, he chose a three-carat ladies’ ring and a four-carat men’s ring. When they walked out, Li Shaobin grumbled. “Which boyfriend would wear a ring with a bigger diamond than his girlfriend? I told you to choose something bigger but you just refused.”

Ruan Yang found it pretty funny too. “I told you I wouldn’t look good with a big diamond ring. If you didn’t insist that I choose a big one, I would’ve just chosen a one-carat ring.”

“That’s too cheap. That won’t do.” Li Shaobin shook his head. “Even a three-carat ring is too cheap for my woman.”

Ruan Yang looked at the diamond ring on her middle finger then at the shining ring on his middle finger and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Ruan Yang, from today onwards, other people will know that I have a girlfriend.” Li Shaobin fiddled with his diamond ring and said seriously, “So, you have to be responsible for me.”

“Alright, I’ll be responsible for you. Let’s go. I want to take a look at some skincare products. Don’t stand in my way.” Ruan Yang pushed him aside and walked towards a department store.

Li Shaobin followed behind her happily. From today onwards, he would also wear a men’s ring.

In the end, Ruan Yang chose a few sets of overcoats for him again before they returned to the hotel.

…

When she was resting, Li Shaobin went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he walked out of the shower, he only had a towel wrapped around his waist. Ruan Yang lifted her head up lazily to glance at him. He had tan skin with even and defined muscles. Those broad shoulders and his narrow waist formed an inverted triangle that one would call the “golden proportions”.

“Why didn’t you put on your clothes?” Ruan Yang commented.

“It’s too hot. I’m going to sleep anyway.” Li Shaobin swayed past her.

Ruan Yang said, “Oh, I thought you wanted to show-off your good figure.”

Li Shaobin felt embarrassed. How could she be so spot-on? However, he would never admit to it. “Do I still have to show-off my figure? One look and anyone could tell that I have a perfect figure.”

“It’s alright. I feel that your chest is almost bigger than mine. I’m already feeling a little inferior.” Ruan Yang blinked. “Put on your clothes quickly. Otherwise, I’m going to feel bad about myself.”

“It’s not.” Li Shaobin’s face flushed red the moment he heard that. “How could mine be compared to yours?”

“It can. I definitely won’t be able to hold it in one hand.” Ruan Yang suddenly stared at his chest with a grin.

Li Shaobin suddenly shuddered. His face became so red it looked as though it was painted on. “Ruan Yang, you’re such a gangster.”

“Aiya, this won’t do. After seeing yours, I’m feeling unconfident about myself. I’m going to bathe too.” Ruan Yang shook her head and sighed as she took her clothes and got ready to head to the bathroom.

Li Shaobin examined his chest with his hand and thought of hers. He cursed silently under his breath and put his shirt on quickly.

He flipped through the channels for more than half an hour with the remote control before he heard the bathroom door open. He quickly sat straight up. He had heard that women all looked beautiful in their pajamas. Besides, they didn’t wear their bra to sleep. He might just be able to catch a glimpse of them.

He turned his head back carefully and saw that Ruan Yang was only wearing a very normal set of white cotton pajamas, revealing nothing at all. He felt immensely disappointed. “Your pajamas look so ugly. I’ll buy you a new set tomorrow.”

“You must be disappointed that I didn’t wear any spaghetti straps or anything revealing, right?” Ruan Yang walked over. Her face was flushed after coming out from the shower, looking deadly beautiful.

“I’m not such a shallow person,” Li Shaobin said self-righteously. “I was just purely admiring your pajamas from a men’s point of view.”

“You don’t have to admire it too. I’m wearing it for myself to see anyway.” Ruan Yang ignored him and turned her back towards him as she started her skincare routine. After she was done, she lifted the blanket and sat on the bed. Li Shaobin quickly went over gloomily and said, “Ruan Yang, we haven’t seen each other for such a long time. Shouldn’t we kiss before we sleep?”

Ruan Yang looked at how pitiful he looked and really couldn’t bear to disappoint him, so she lifted her head and gave him a kiss.

“It’s not enough.” Li Shaobin sat on the soft bed and started using his tongue. His lips were gentle and soft yet overbearing, as though he wanted to swallow her up whole.

Ruan Yang leaned on the headboard and suddenly, she felt a cooling sensation on her chest.

She looked down and pushed him away, saying with a frown. “Okay, you’ve got your kiss. Can we sleep now? Don’t push your luck.”

Li Shaobin finally felt it. He nodded as he felt some satisfaction and took out a blanket from the wardrobe as he went to the couch.

Not long after the lights were out, just as Ruan Yang was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard the sound of something heavy dropping to the floor and a terrible cry from the couch.

She pretended to have heard nothing and continued to sleep. That heavy thing climbed back onto the couch silently and fell again not long after.

She rubbed her glabella and sat up, saying, “Li Shaobin, what do you want?”

“I don’t want anything. I just roll down unknowingly whenever I fall asleep.” Li Shaobin sighed miserably. “Maybe the couch is too narrow. My bed at home is very wide.”

Ruan Yang clenched her teeth. As if she would believe him. But if he were to go on like this, she definitely wouldn’t be able to get enough sleep. “Alright, cut it out and just come sleep on the bed.”
