162: Chapter 162 Li Ying Extinguishes the Fire

"Yeah, they run away after teasing me, refusing to take any responsibility."

Qin Lin laughed helplessly.

"So Sister Li Ying is still the one who understands me best."

"Brother Qin Lin, why is your tongue so sweet today?"

"It's always been sweet."

Qin Lin reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Do you want to have a taste?"

Li Ying leaned into his arms.

"Taste? How?"

Qin Lin lowered his head and kissed her.

This kiss was direct and passionate.

Li Ying didn't resist at all; instead, she responded actively, wrapping her hands around his neck and pressing her entire body against him.

After a long time, the two separated.

Li Ying panted, looking at him with blurry eyes.

"Brother Qin Lin, do you know how hard it was for me to finally get a bite of you?"

Qin Lin was stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

"It means..."

Li Ying's finger gently tapped his chest.

"...that there are too many women around you, and I can't get a turn."

Qin Lin laughed.

"Aren't you getting your turn now?"

"Now?" Li Ying arched an eyebrow.

"Now is only because those two little girls don't know how to put out a fire. They teased you until your fire was raging, so I finally had an opportunity."

She paused, her smile full of deep meaning.

"Speaking of which, I should thank them. If it weren't for them, I probably wouldn't have gotten you anytime soon."

Qin Lin looked at her.

As this thirty-year-old woman spoke, her eyes held both cunning and a certain seriousness.

She sat up and reached out to untie her robe.

"So, Brother Qin Lin, you have to keep me company properly now."

Qin Lin smiled.

Li Ying's black nightgown slipped down, revealing perfect curves.

Her thirty-year-old body was well-maintained, every inch of skin radiating the unique charm of a mature woman.

"Alright."

...

Three hours later.

On the sofa in the Drivers Cabin, Li Ying lay limp in Qin Lin's arms, without even the strength to lift a finger.

"Brother Qin Lin..."

Her voice was raspy.

"Are you even human?"

Qin Lin looked down at her.

"What's wrong?"

"Three hours..."

She said weakly.

"I'm about to fall apart."

Qin Lin laughed.

"Didn't you tell me to keep you company properly?"

Li Ying glared at him, but there was no threat in her gaze.

With reddened eyes and wet eyelashes, she looked as if she had just been fished out of the water.

"I told you to keep me company, not to work me to death..."

Qin Lin gently kissed her forehead.

"Exhausted?"

"What do you think?"

Qin Lin held her and didn't speak.

Li Ying leaned against his chest, her eyes closed, enjoying this rare moment of tenderness.

After a good while, she spoke softly:

"Qin Lin."

"Hmm?"

"Carry me back to the room."

Qin Lin looked down at her.

Li Ying opened her eyes and looked at him, her gaze filled with a sense of acting spoiled and dependent.

"I have no strength left; I can't walk."

For a thirty-year-old woman to speak in such a tone, the impact was devastatingly charming.

Qin Lin felt his heart melt.

"Alright." He picked her up. "I'll take you back to 004."

Li Ying leaned into his chest, a satisfied smile on her lips.

"You're really strong."

"I can be even stronger, want to try?"

Li Ying glared at him.

"Don't, let me rest for a day."

When they reached the door, she suddenly said:

"Qin Lin, do you know? I never act spoiled in front of men."

Qin Lin looked at her.

"And now?"

"Now... I only want to act spoiled for you."

Qin Lin felt a warmth in his heart.

"In the future, you're only allowed to act spoiled for me."

Li Ying laughed, looking very happy.

"Alright."

The corridor was very quiet, with only the night light of the ecological box glowing.

He walked lightly to the door of 004 and nudged it open with his foot.

The door opened a crack, and Xu Xue poked her head out. Seeing Qin Lin carrying Li Ying, she was stunned for a moment.

"She... what happened to her?"

"She's tired. She'll be fine after a sleep."

Xu Xue blushed, but she still stepped aside to let Qin Lin in.

Qin Lin laid Li Ying on her bed and tucked her in.

Li Ying held his hand, refusing to let go.

"Qin Lin..."

"Hmm?"

"Next time... I want more."

Qin Lin smiled.

"Alright."

He leaned down and gave her a light kiss on the lips.

"Rest well."

Li Ying let go of his hand and closed her eyes, a smile still on her lips.

Watching this scene, Xu Xue felt a bit envious.

Qin Lin left bedroom no. 004 and gently closed the door.

The corridor was silent.

He checked the time.

It was already past eleven o'clock at night.

Tonight, he should be able to get a good night's sleep.

As for today's dinner, no one had the heart to eat.

Everyone had eaten some fruit and snacks before going off to entertain themselves.

He returned to Bedroom No. 000, lay down on the bed, and soon drifted into a dream.

...

In Bedroom No. 003, the light was still on.

Han Qing and her daughter Han Yurou were lying in bed, neither of them sleepy.

Han Yurou leaned in her mother's arms, and the two were still chatting.

"Mom, do you know what day it is tomorrow?" Han Yurou asked.

Han Qing thought for a moment. "What day?"

"My birthday!"

Han Yurou pouted dissatisfaction.

"Mom, you actually forgot!"

Han Qing was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Oh, Mom really forgot. There's been so much going on lately..."

She felt a bit guilty; her mind had been preoccupied recently.

"We'll celebrate for you tomorrow."

"Hmph."

Han Yurou pretended to be angry, but she soon couldn't keep it up.

"Forget it, I forgive you."

She then asked, "How are we going to celebrate?"

Han Qing thought about it.

"We'll have Wanwan make something delicious, and everyone will..."

"Mom, I want to spend it alone with just us," Han Yurou interrupted.

Han Qing looked at her.

"Us?"

"Yeah." Han Yurou nodded.

"You, me, and Brother Qin Lin."

Han Qing was taken aback.

"Why?"

Han Yurou leaned on her shoulder and said softly:

"Mom, I want Brother Qin Lin to spend my birthday with us. Just the three of us."

Han Qing was silent for a few seconds.

"Is that... okay?"

"What's wrong with it?" Han Yurou said. "He's my brother and your man. Isn't it normal for everyone to spend a birthday together?"

Listening to this, Han Qing felt something wasn't quite right, but it also seemed to make sense.

Her daughter's gaze was sincere, with no other apparent motives.

"Alright, I'll tell Qin Lin tomorrow."

Han Yurou's eyes lit up.

"I have an idea! Let's change the room layout!"

"Change the room?"

"Yeah."

Han Yurou pointed to the empty bed next to them.

"Mom, look, our room has two beds now. It's such a waste."

"We usually sleep together anyway. Why not change the room to a single large bed mode? That way there's more space, and it'll be more convenient for the three of us to chat in the future."

Han Qing was stunned.

"Change it to a large bed?"

"Yeah! Just like the design in Sister Yuran's room." Han Yurou nodded.

"The kind of extra-large bed where three people can sleep without any problem."

Han Qing looked at her, sensing that there was more to this girl's words than met the eye.

Han Qing looked at the bed.

Indeed, since her daughter had started sleeping in her bed every night, that other bed had never been used, wasting space.

"Alright, we'll tell Qin Lin tomorrow and have him help change the room mode."

Han Yurou nodded, then lay down and snuggled closer into her mother's arms.

"Mom, you're the best!"

Han Qing smiled and patted her back.

"Alright, alright, go to sleep."

"Mom, do you think... Brother Qin Lin will come?"

"He will. It's your birthday; he'll definitely come."

"Then... what gift will he give?"

Han Qing smiled.

"You'll know tomorrow."

Han Yurou also smiled, a hint of cunning in her expression.

But she didn't let her mother see it.
