110: Chapter 111 Can Yin Tianxue satisfy you?

After a while, Shen Nian seemed to remember something. She propped herself up again, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly, "Yu Bo... do you... and Yin Tianxue... also... do this?"

Yu Bo was stroking her hand, and the moment he heard that name, he paused for a fraction of a second, almost imperceptibly. Then, he let out a low chuckle, a laugh filled with unabashed masculine arrogance and satiation, the vibrations of his chest clearly transmitting to Shen Nian's ear pressed against him.

"Of course," he said, his tone relaxed, even carrying a hint of boastful casualness, as if he were talking about the weather. "I've always been this strong—even... sometimes more powerful than just now." His fingertips traced lightly along the furrow of her spine, sending a faint shiver through her.

Shen Nian looked up, a complex mix of emotions flashing in her eyes: curiosity, probing, and an indescribable bitterness. She bit her lower lip and lowered her voice even more, adopting a deliberate innocence and... a subtle provocation. "Then... can she satisfy you? You're so strong... is she... also like me, with legs so weak she can't get out of bed?"

The question was bold and overstepped bounds, carrying the excitement of prying into someone else's privacy and... a secret desire to weigh herself against 'her' on the same scale.

The curve of Yu Bo's lips deepened, his eyes darkening with a playful look that saw right through her little scheme.

"Why don't you guess?" he countered, his voice deep and lazily magnetic, tossing the question back to her effortlessly.

Shen Nian didn't get the answer she wanted and felt a bit unwilling, but she didn't dare press further. She buried her face back into the crook of his neck, her nose brushing against the lingering scent of sweat and hormones on his skin, like a small animal seeking comfort. After a few seconds of silence, she changed the subject, her voice carrying a hint of subtle nervousness and expectation:

"Yu Bo... next time... will you come back with me?"

This time, Yu Bo didn't answer immediately. He withdrew his hand from stroking her and instead grasped the hand she had resting on his chest. Her fingers were slender and fair, currently curled somewhat weakly. He enveloped her hand completely within his large palm, his calloused thumb slowly and possessively stroking the delicate back of her hand.

"What's this?" He turned his head, his warm breath fanning over the top of her head, his voice tinged with mockery and a subtle sense of control. "So soon... you want it again?"

Shen Nian's face flushed instantly. Embarrassed, she buried her face deeper into the crook of his neck, but her fingers gently scratched his palm like a kitten's claws, a gesture of both coyness and tacit agreement.

Yu Bo chuckled, his chest vibrating. He tightened his grip on her hand to stop her from moving and used his other hand to pull her waist closer, pressing her firmly against him. He leaned into her reddened ear, his voice dropping to a very low whisper, carrying a dominant, possessive tone that was almost a declaration:

"Shen Nian, don't you know... that men are a particularly possessive species?"

His breath was scorching as it hit her ear and the side of her neck, triggering an even more intense shiver.

"Since I've had you..." He paused deliberately, his lips almost touching her sensitive earlobe, his voice deep and dangerous, carrying an unquestionable finality. "Of course, I can't bear to cast you aside."

Shen Nian's body trembled slightly in his arms—not out of fear, but from a shudder brought on by being so intensely possessed and claimed, a mix of submission and secret excitement. She held her breath, waiting for his next words.

"From now on..." Yu Bo's voice continued in her ear, word by word, clear and slow, branding itself into her heart. "You can only be my, Yu Bo's, woman. Do you understand?"

"Hmm..." Shen Nian's arms involuntarily tightened around his waist.

"So," Yu Bo's voice relaxed slightly, carrying a patronizing yet enticing promise, "what are you going to call me when you're in my arms from now on? Hmm?"

Shen Nian was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant. A wave of immense shame and an indescribable sweetness from being given a 'special title' washed over her. She hesitated for a moment before calling out in a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz, tentatively and with a hint of pleasing him: "...Hubby?"

Yu Bo pinched her earlobe, his tone carrying a hint of satisfaction. "Good Baby, but 'Hubby'... isn't a name to be used lightly."

Shen Nian looked up at him, her shimmering eyes filled with a nearly pious dependence and submission. As if she were completely sacrificing herself, she said clearly and forcefully, word by word, "Mhm. From now on... I will only have you as my hubby. My heart, my body... they all belong only to you, Yu Bo."

Yu Bo looked into her eyes; the unabashed infatuation and almost humble devotion within them greatly satisfied his vanity and desire for control as a conqueror and possessor. The curve of his lips deepened, the playfulness in his eyes fading slightly, replaced by a genuine glow of pleased satisfaction.

"Good Baby," he whispered, his voice even richer and more tender than before, carrying a reward-like indulgence. He leaned down and kissed her eyes, then the tip of her nose, and finally, he gently took her slightly swollen, enticing lips into his. This kiss was no longer like the previous ones, filled with punishment and plunder; instead, it was tender and lingering, with a post-coital, lazy affection, tracing the shape of her lips and tangling with the tip of her tongue, as if savoring a treasure that finally belonged entirely to him and could be toyed with at will.

Shen Nian felt her whole body go weak from this incredibly tender kiss, her heart feeling as if it were soaked in honey, both sweet and full. She responded awkwardly but passionately, her arms tightly encircling his neck as if she wanted to melt into his body.

Once the kiss ended, their foreheads rested against each other, their breaths mingling. Yu Bo's fingers gently brushed through her sweat-dampened hair clinging to her cheek, his movements as gentle as if he were handling fragile porcelain.

"Remember what you said, Baby." He looked into her dazed eyes, his voice deep and carrying an unmistakable warning, yet wrapped in a gentle tone. "Your heart, your body, from the inside out, can only be mine. If I ever find out... that you have someone else..."

He didn't finish, but the flash of cold sharpness in his eyes made Shen Nian shiver involuntarily. She knew he wasn't joking.

"I won't! Absolutely not!" Shen Nian shook her head hurriedly, eager to prove her devotion, even raising her hand as if making an oath. "I swear! I only have you! As long as you still want me, I will always be yours!"

Seeing her flustered yet earnest expression, the coldness in Yu Bo's eyes dissipated, replaced once more by satisfaction and a subtle, almost patronizing tenderness. He caught her hand that was raised in an oath, pulled it to his lips, and gently kissed her fingertips.
