After being diagnosed with a terminal illness, the fake heiress binds herself to a rough-looking man

The master bedroom is well heated.

The cold wind outside the window rustled through the branches of the trees.

Inside the silk quilt, Jiang Yu rolled to the left. Half a minute later, she rolled to the right.

The digital clock on the bedside table ticked to 1 a.m.

She stared at the ceiling with her round eyes, her mind filled with the schedule for tomorrow's youth exhibition.

Is the lighting in the first exhibition area sufficient?

Was the bearing of that gear rose device properly repaired? Will it fall apart halfway through?

I can't sleep. I simply can't sleep.

She turned her head and stared at the profile of the man beside her.

Huo Li lay flat with his eyes closed, his chest rising and falling evenly.

This old man is so disciplined even when he sleeps.

To allow her to focus on preparing for the school anniversary celebration, he didn't bother her for four whole days.

At night, I would just hold her and chat under the covers, being so well-behaved that it was as if I were about to become a monk.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but reach out and poke the bluish stubble on his chin with her fingertips.

It's prickly and stinging.

Huo Li closed his eyes and precisely grabbed her mischievous little hand.

"Aren't you sleepy?"

"I'm a little nervous."

Jiang Yu snuggled closer to him and pressed her cold feet against his warm calves.

Huo Li opened his eyes, stretched out his long arm, and pulled her closer into his arms.

"What's there to be nervous about? Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared."

"Wang Yuanzhi will also be viewing the exhibition remotely tomorrow."

Jiang Yu stared at the firm muscle lines exposed beneath the collar of his pajamas.

"There are many media outlets coming, and if something goes wrong, I'll be incredibly embarrassed."

Huo Li patted her back soothingly with his large hand, the force very light.

"I'll hold the sky up even if it falls." Huo Li's tone was calm, but it carried great weight.

"Even if you set the entire exhibition hall on fire, I can build a new one for you. What are you afraid of?"

Jiang Yu was still a little sleepy, but upon hearing this, she was completely wide awake.

She propped herself up, straddling his waist with both legs, looking down at him.

I ran into Jiang Ruoruo at school today.

She pouted and complained, "The way that woman looked at me, she wished I would slip and fall flat on my face on the red carpet tomorrow."

"She doesn't dare."

Huo Li's large hand slipped under the hem of her silk nightgown. His fingertips rested on her slender waist, gently kneading it.

"If you fall, I'll make her eat the entire exhibition hall floor."

Jiang Yu's waist went limp from his pinching.

"Stop messing around, I'm being serious."

Huo Li's eyes darkened, and his large hand gripped her waist.

"Straddling me in the middle of the night, trying to talk to me about serious things?"

Jiang Yu's face flushed instantly, and she frantically tried to climb down.

The man didn't give her a chance at all; with a sudden burst of strength in his waist, she was instantly spun around.

My back sank into the soft mattress, and the blanket was half pulled back.

Before the cold air could even get in, the man's burning body temperature pressed down on it.

"I've been really struggling to hold it in these past two days."

Huo Li knelt between her legs and braced his hands on either side of her ear.

"Your little head is full of movement patterns and positioning ideas."

Huo Li lowered his head, his nose brushing against her earlobe. "Looking at the way you move around, I need to plan my own path carefully too."

Jiang Yu pressed her hands against his hard chest muscles, struggling to breathe.

"Didn't you tell me to get a good rest tonight and recharge my batteries?"

"Didn't you have trouble sleeping?"

The man's lips pressed against her earlobe, his warm, moist breath spraying onto it.

"Then let's explore the other exhibition areas and see if this level of depth satisfies you."

rogue!

Jiang Yu's mind went blank.

Is it really okay to say that directly?

The CEO, who usually wears a suit and tie, will utter any dirty words when he gets into bed.

The little ball of light in my mind exploded into fireworks with a bang.

[Holy crap! It's late-night stuff! Host's awesome! Your lifespan is about to be maxed out again!]

The system was banging drums and playing deafening background music in my head.

[Hurry! Let's go with the flow! Max out today's credit limit!]

Jiang Yu roared inwardly, telling it to get lost.

Huo Li's lips moved from his earlobe to the side of his neck, and he bit down on that delicate skin.

She used her fingertips to gently pry open the pitifully thin silk bra strap.

My fingertips traced a path down my collarbone. Ignite fires everywhere.

The temperature rose rapidly between the two of them.

Their breathing mingled together, making the air feel thick and sticky.

The man patiently explored her sensitive spots little by little.

From behind the ear, down to the collarbone, and further down, it conquers and expands its territory.

Jiang Yu's fingers gripped the bed sheet tightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Huo Li..."

"Call me husband."

His rough fingertips pressed against the spot where her breathing was rising and falling.

"These past few days you've been thinking about your lousy exhibition all the time, you haven't even glanced at me."

Jiang Yu was forced to tremble all over; this man was actually jealous of an exhibition.

Unfortunately, my body simply wouldn't cooperate.

"husband……"

She bit her lower lip, her voice trembling.

The fire in Huo Li's eyes burned fiercely, but his actions became increasingly unrestrained.

Jiang Yu felt like a fish that had been brought ashore, being turned over and over by him.

There was absolutely no way to escape.

This isn't trying to lull her to sleep, it's killing her!

[Ding! Fifteen minutes of high-quality intimate contact! Lifespan +10 days!]

The system was ecstatic.

[Hold on, host! Target's emotional value has surged! Reward doubled! Lifespan increased by 20 days!]

Jiang Yu didn't even have the strength to curse anymore, and could only let Huo Li do as he pleased.

Just when she thought the man was about to completely lose control, Huo Li stopped what he was doing.

His chest heaved violently as he breathed heavily, his eyes filled with suppressed lust.

He exhaled a long breath of stale air.

They grabbed a blanket that was lying around and wrapped it tightly around the two of them.

He pressed her head with his large hand, pulling her into his arms, his voice hoarse.

"Go to sleep."

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, her cheeks still flushed.

"You're not going to continue?"

Huo Li bit the tip of her nose.

"You need to be at school by eight o'clock tomorrow morning. If you keep going like this, you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

Jiang Yu instantly understood what he meant.

He was considering that she was attending her first internship curatorial event the next day.

The car came to a sudden stop.

Suddenly, a part of my heart softened.

Jiang Yu leaned over and kissed him on the chin.

"Thank you, honey."

Huo Li's breathing became erratic, and he tightened his grip on the person even more.

"Jiang Yu, if you add another spark, you can forget about going to that lousy exhibition tomorrow."

Jiang Yu immediately shut her mouth.

She found a comfortable position in his arms and obediently closed her eyes.

This time, I wasn't nervous at all, and I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
