Indulgence - Chapter 48
Chapter 48
With everyone watching, Jiang Nian directly took Yao Ran's hand, her "sister" sounding cloyingly sweet.
Hearing Jiang Nian call her that, and meeting her coquettish gaze, Yao Ran suddenly understood why calling someone "sister" could be a form of flirting. She stared at Jiang Nian in silence, always so improper...
Jiang Nian squeezed Yao Ran's hand and continued to smile at her, her eyes bright and her teeth white.
Their fingers intertwined intimately, making their relationship obvious. The girl who had tried to hit on her gave an awkward laugh, abandoned her attempt to get a WeChat contact, and left.
Yao Ran watched Jiang Nian's unrestrained smile, so high-profile it was as if she wanted the whole world to know about their relationship. Hearing the word "girlfriend," she needed a moment to adjust. It was as if, all of a sudden, she was no longer alone.
Jiang Nian, on the other hand, adapted to her new role as a girlfriend quite well. Every glance she sent Yao Ran was sweet and ambiguous.
Yao Ran was almost used to Jiang Nian looking at her this way. Even before they were together, Jiang Nian's gaze had been bold; now, it was even more unrestrained.
The smile never left Jiang Nian's face as she first led Yao Ran upstairs to her office.
Si Mao was playing in Jiang Nian's office. The moment the door opened and it saw Jiang Nian and Yao Ran, the little thing immediately trotted over to greet them.
Si Mao still remembered Yao Ran and approached her affectionately.
Jiang Nian said, "I told you Si Mao missed you."
Yao Ran looked down at the little dog nuzzling her and smiled.
"Why did you come early?" Jiang Nian had originally planned to pick her up later. She hadn't expected Yao Ran to arrive ahead of time. Did this reserved woman enjoy giving silent surprises? The competition last time was the same.
Yao Ran said, "I came straight here after I finished work." Since they were already together, she couldn't let Jiang Nian be the only one to take the initiative, even though she wasn't good at it.
"Did you bring another gift for Si Mao?" Jiang Nian had noticed the gift bag in Yao Ran's hand early on.
"It's for you," Yao Ran said, handing it to Jiang Nian. "I saw it on my business trip to Haicheng a few days ago and thought you might like it."
Her tone was calm and gentle, but Jiang Nian was still pleasantly surprised. She even confirmed foolishly, "You bought this for me?"
Was such a big reaction necessary? Yao Ran: "Yes."
Jiang Nian couldn't wait to open it. It was a set of traditional clay dolls, a collector's edition, exquisitely made. How thoughtful. It was indeed something she liked.
She even thought to bring her a gift on a business trip. Jiang Nian looked up and said with a smile, "I love it!"
Seeing Jiang Nian's beaming face, Yao Ran thought, is Miss Jiang too easy to please?
Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by an urgent voice, "Sister Nian, hurry up, they're waiting."
"Got it, be right there," Jiang Nian replied, then said to Yao Ran, "Wait for me a moment, I need to do a color touch-up for a client."
"Alright."
Jiang Nian thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you want to watch?" She had a little idea in mind. Qiu Lan said she was very alluring when she worked...
The girl's touch-up was on her shoulder. Jiang Nian held the machine and lowered her head, her expression serious.
This was the second time Yao Ran had seen Jiang Nian at work, the first being when Ruan Xin got her tattoo. She had left a deep impression on her.
"Bear with it for a bit, it will still hurt a little."
"Okay, I'll try." The speaker was a young girl who seemed to have a high pain tolerance.
Once in work mode, Jiang Nian didn't talk much. She was focused and dedicated, transforming back into the cool, quiet girl.
Yao Ran's gaze, which had been lingering on the pattern Jiang Nian was tattooing, gradually and perhaps unintentionally, shifted to Jiang Nian herself.
Her long hair was tied back in a low bun, a black mask covering most of her face. She had a small face and exquisite eyes, so she looked very good in a mask.
Watching Jiang Nian work was quite enjoyable, beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Most clients who came to the studio felt this way. Yao Ran's gaze swept silently over Jiang Nian's profile, and she felt the same.
Jiang Nian was wearing a crop top again today, her slender and firm waist half-exposed. It was indeed alluring.
After a few brief glances, Yao Ran lowered her eyes slightly, a faint ripple of unease in her heart.~
"Sister, I just noticed you have abs!" The girl getting the tattoo also caught a glimpse and asked brazenly, "Can I touch them?"
Yao Ran's eyebrows raised slightly.
It was a rather presumptuous request, but it wasn't the first time Jiang Nian had encountered such a client. She replied without thinking, "No, you can't."
The girl joked, "Don't be so stingy."
Jiang Nian kept her head down, working, but added one more explanation than usual, "Only my girlfriend can touch them."
Yao Ran remained expressionless, but her eyes flickered.
"Your girlfriend must be very beautiful, right?" the girl started chatting with Jiang Nian. She hadn't realized the connection between Yao Ran and Jiang Nian. Yao Ran hadn't spoken to Jiang Nian and had a cool, otherworldly air, making it difficult to imagine them as a couple.
"Yes, my girlfriend is super beautiful." The mask couldn't hide the smile in Jiang Nian's voice.
Yao Ran: "..." So shameless, constantly bringing up her girlfriend all evening, as if afraid people didn't know she had one.
The touch-up on the small tattoo was quick, finished in half an hour. It was past nine, and the night had grown darker.
Si Mao was now the studio's beloved pet, usually wandering around like a little king. As soon as it saw Jiang Nian and Yao Ran come out, it followed them back to the office.
In the time it took to pour a glass of water, Jiang Nian saw Si Mao clinging to Yao Ran, circling her legs and wagging its tail happily.
Yao Ran was charmed by the little creature's efforts to be cute. She leaned against the drawing table, a faint smile on her face as she watched Si Mao's clingy antics.
Jiang Nian was captivated by the scene. Yao Ran was wearing an elegant and exquisite qipao, and she looked exceptionally gentle and beautiful when she smiled with her head lowered.
In fact, Jiang Nian had been stunned the moment she saw Yao Ran tonight. Her figure was slender and tall, and the qipao suited her temperament perfectly—cool and ascetic, yet the curves it outlined were beautiful and captivating.
Jiang Nian noticed that Yao Ran was only focused on teasing Si Mao and hadn't glanced at her once. So, she walked closer and asked, "Do you like dogs that much?"
Yao Ran didn't look up, her gaze still on Si Mao. "Si Mao has indeed gotten fatter, and cuter."
Si Mao seemed to understand the praise and started hopping around even more energetically.
Jiang Nian turned to stare at Yao Ran's profile, pursed her lips, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Why don't you look at me too?"
Yao Ran finally looked up.
Jiang Nian moved closer to her and said with a quiet smile, "Actually, I'm pretty cute too."
Yao Ran looked at the face that was so close to hers. She was silent for two seconds, then, as if it had just dawned on her, she couldn't help but laugh. What was this...
What a child.
The moment she saw her smile, Jiang Nian could no longer hold back. She gently kissed the upturned corner of her lips. After the light kiss, she continued to gaze at her with a smile, up close.
A smiling kiss was the easiest way to stir the heart. Yao Ran's heartbeat was instantly hooked.
The air fell silent.
After a brief silence, Jiang Nian turned sideways and wrapped her arm around Yao Ran's slender waist in a possessive embrace. From the first moment she saw her tonight, her heart had been pounding. She looked so beautiful in the qipao, it made her heart itch.
The sudden, clinging hug made the distance between them instantly ambiguous.
Yao Ran's gaze swept over the face so close to hers. She guessed someone was bound to be restless when they met tonight. She wasn't quite used to such intimate relationships yet, so after being hugged like this, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Nian wanted to laugh. She moved even closer and whispered, "Do I need a reason to hug my own girlfriend?"
Yao Ran couldn't refute that. She changed the subject, asking, "Is your hand better?"
"Yeah, it's all healed..." As Jiang Nian spoke, her lips drew closer and closer, slowly reaching Yao Ran's.
The teasing, back-and-forth advance stirred up a restless feeling. Yao Ran looked at her gently. She really couldn't behave for a second.
There was no one else in the room. The moment their eyes met, Jiang Nian pressed her lips directly against hers.
The soft, gentle rubbing of their lips was warm and comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable. Yao Ran's heart softened, allowing Jiang Nian to kiss her tenderly.
They had kissed so many times that they had an instinctive chemistry the moment their lips touched.
But it was only a few tender kisses.
Yao Ran promptly dodged, remembering last night's awkwardness, and gave Jiang Nian a silent, warning look.
Jiang Nian stared at her eagerly and whispered, "I locked the door."
As soon as the words fell, her lips pressed forward again. This time, the kiss deepened, her tongue eagerly prying open Yao Ran's lips.
Yao Ran found that she could never resist Jiang Nian's unreasonable passion. She wondered if the more she suppressed it, the more easily it would ignite...
With repeated sucking, their tongues became familiarly and deeply entangled.
Jiang Nian didn't know how to hold back. She hummed softly as she kissed, her soft tongue constantly seeking more. A deep kiss was the only way to feel satisfied.
The kiss made Yao Ran's ears burn. On one hand, she couldn't push her away; on the other, she felt it was too indulgent. They had just confirmed their relationship, how could they be like this—
Completely unrestrained when they were intimate.
"Mmm." Jiang Nian grew hotter as she kissed. She gently pressed Yao Ran against the desk, and the hand on her waist couldn't help but slowly trace its way up the beautiful curve, stroking and outlining it delicately.
Yao Ran's legs went soft. She pressed her forehead against Jiang Nian's, maintaining a sliver of rationality as she reminded her, "Didn't you want to watch a movie tonight?"
Jiang Nian had no room for movies in her head right now. Besides, watching a movie was just an excuse to see her. She spoke intermittently between kisses, "...I didn't want to watch a movie... I wanted to see you..."
Yao Ran had actually guessed as much. Last night, it was clear Jiang Nian didn't want her to go work overtime.
Another deep kiss swept over her.
For a moment, the out-of-control, passionate kiss from the bar last night continued to spread, but with a completely different flavor. Now that their love was confirmed, the same entanglement of lips and tongues was wrapped in a more lingering, sweet affection.
Perhaps it was because last night's abrupt end had been frustrating. As they kissed like this, Yao Ran felt her body's response was particularly strong. When she placed her hand on Jiang Nian's waist, the delicate skin seared her palm.
She let out a soft sigh.
Jiang Nian caught sight of the faint blush on her face, pecked the corner of her mouth, and asked softly, "Are you wet?"
