Before Fang Yi could finish speaking, her mouth was covered, and the bedside lamp went out. ...
The bedroom in Zhuang Rui's luxurious suite faced the sun on two sides. During the day, sunlight streamed through the silk curtains, falling like golden flowers onto the huge king bed in the middle of the bedroom, exposing two intertwined, pale bodies to the sunlight.
The large room was filled with the mixed smell of a man and woman making love. Anyone with experience would know what had happened here the day before as soon as they entered the room.
Zhuang Rui carefully moved Qin Xuanbing's leg that was draped over him. His eyes inadvertently caught sight of the dark area, and he couldn't help but stiffen up a bit. However... he was a little powerless.
When it comes to a protracted battle, men are never as good as women. Don't be fooled by the fact that some men are physically strong and capable; often, after they've finished their business, the mere words "I want more" from their wives can send them fleeing in terror.
Slowly walking from the bed to the floor, Zhuang Rui tightened the curtains that hadn't been closed yesterday, preventing sunlight from getting in and immediately making the room a bit darker.
"Zhuang Rui, why are you up?"
Qin Xuanbing woke up and saw Zhuang Rui standing naked in front of the bed looking at her. Her face flushed. Although they had already broken through that... barrier, Qin Xuanbing was still a girl and a little shy. She pulled the blanket over herself.
"It's almost noon. Of course we should get up. It's not like we're spending the whole day in the room, is it?"
Zhuang Rui picked up the towel that had been lying on the ground and wrapped it around his waist. Qin Xuanbing tried not to look, but her eyes still followed Zhuang Rui's movements until the towel covered his private parts. Only then did Qin Xuanbing look away, her heart pounding. She didn't know if it was shyness or anticipation, and she didn't hear what Zhuang Rui said clearly.
"If you're not going to say anything, then we're not going anywhere today."
Zhuang Rui interpreted Qin Xuanbing's silence as a provocation, and immediately pounced on the bed.
"No... please, darling, have mercy on me, oh, I really can't take it anymore..."
The breathing of the man and woman in the room became heavy again, interspersed with pleas for mercy that were comparable to a soprano's voice, which further stimulated Zhuang Rui to work harder.
More than half an hour later, the storm finally subsided. Qin Xuanbing was limp and boneless, lying on Zhuang Rui's chest, breathing rapidly. Her fair face had turned completely pink, and she looked at Zhuang Rui with seductive eyes.
"Xuanbing, I have a gift for you. See if you like it."
As if by magic, Zhuang Rui pulled a jewelry box from the bedside table and placed it on his chest, right in front of Qin Xuanbing.
Qin Xuanbing didn't even have the strength to move a finger at this moment, and said in a coquettish voice, "What is it? I want you to show it to me."
Zhuang Rui smiled, opened the jewelry box, took out a crystal-clear red jade bracelet, and then gently put it on Qin Xuanbing's left hand.
"What a beautiful bracelet!"
Qin Xuanbing rolled over forcefully, lying on her side on Zhuang Rui's body. She raised her left hand, and when her eyes fell on the bracelet, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Using the dim light in the room, Qin Xuanbing examined the bracelet on her wrist, her expression growing increasingly surprised. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Zhuang Rui, this bracelet is of very high quality. Is it a high-grade icy red jade bracelet?"
As a jewelry designer, jewelry appreciation is a fundamental skill, and even though Qin Xuanbing only glanced at it, she sensed that this red jade bracelet was unusual.
"It's not high-grade ice jade..."
Seeing the puzzled look on Qin Xuanbing's face, Zhuang Rui grinned mischievously and whispered in her ear, "It's a glass-type jade bracelet, a true blood jade bracelet. Xuanbing, do you like it?"
"Huh? Really?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuanbing sat up, wanting to draw back the curtains to take another look at the bracelet. However, the afterglow of their passion had not yet subsided, and she still lacked the strength. She sat up halfway but then lay back down weakly beside Zhuang Rui.
"Come on, let's take a bath together first, then you can look at the bracelet later."
Zhuang Rui picked up the limp Qin Xuanbing and carried her to the bathroom.
"The color is bright red, and the texture is like flowing water. It's a genuine glass-type red jadeite bangle. Zhuang Rui, are you really giving it to me?"
Wearing a loose bathrobe, Qin Xuanbing drew back the thick curtains. The afternoon sun shone directly onto the balcony, instantly brightening the room. Qin Xuanbing stood by the window, gazing at the bracelet on her left wrist with a look of rapture.
After taking a shower, Qin Xuanbing felt refreshed all over and did not notice any discomfort in her body, which was completely different from the pain of losing her virginity described in the book.
Qin Xuanbing was unaware that after each revelry, when she was drowsy, Zhuang Rui would secretly use his spiritual energy to help her recover. After all, yesterday Zhuang Rui had once again experienced a spiritual energy depletion, leaving him in tears.
"Of course it's for you. Why would I give it to someone else?"
Zhuang Rui said lovingly, stroking Qin Xuanbing's damp and fluffy hair. He saw the sunlight shining on the beautiful woman's face, giving her a faint blush, making her as beautiful as a figure in a painting.
"Thank you, Zhuang Rui. Oh, and I also have a gift for you..."
Qin Xuanbing seemed to remember something, went back to her room, found her handbag, took out a small box, and opened it to find two platinum rings. On the surface of the rings were two jade stones the size of a thumbnail, so green and clear that one could almost see their reflection in them.
Chapter 367 The Justice of the Peace
"This is also of the glassy type, right? Hmm? Is this the cabochon cut from the jadeite I gave you?"
With Zhuang Rui's current discernment, even without using his spiritual energy, he could distinguish the quality of these two jade pieces. However, the imperial green of the glass type was extremely rare, so he immediately thought of the jade piece he had once given to Qin Xuanbing.
"Yes, I crafted these myself. Let's each have one..."
Qin Xuanbing smiled and took Zhuang Rui's hand, placing both rings in his palm.
Zhuang Rui looked at the ring in his hand and noticed that their names were engraved on it. He grinned mischievously and said, "Xuanbing, you're not proposing to me, are you?"
"Ugh, you're so naughty, but you have to put it on me..."
Qin Xuanbing blushed at Zhuang Rui's words. She hadn't thought much of it at first, but the imperial green jade was only enough to make two ring faces, so she simply made two rings, one for men and one for women, and set the jade in them. Of course, she also had something in mind from what Zhuang Rui had just said.
While diamonds are a more appropriate gift between lovers, in terms of value, even high-quality and expensive diamonds cannot compare to these two imperial green rings. Moreover, these rings were originally given to Qin Xuanbing by Zhuang Rui, and Qin Xuanbing then had them crafted into finished products, making them hold different meanings for the two of them.
He put the ring on Qin Xuanbing's finger, and the two stood on the balcony, embracing each other, looking at the beautiful Victoria Harbour. Zhuang Rui felt an unparalleled peace in his heart. He was not an ambitious person; he only hoped to spend his life with the lover in his arms and do things that interested him.
"Oh no! I hung up on Mommy yesterday, I wonder how angry she is now..."
Qin Xuanbing, who was enjoying her lover's embrace, suddenly remembered her mother's phone call yesterday. She hurriedly ran into the room and found her phone, which gave Zhuang Rui a good look. Her long, fair legs looked so tempting under the bathrobe.
"It's almost one o'clock, Zhuang Rui, you've ruined me..."
After turning on the computer, Qin Xuanbing checked the time and couldn't help but groan, wondering how she was going to explain it to her mother later.
Zhuang Rui walked into the room with a smile and said, "It's alright. At most, I'll accompany you to meet your mother. They say that mothers-in-law like their sons-in-law more and more the more they look at them. Your mother wouldn't dare to beat me away with a big stick, would she?"
Zhuang Rui came very well prepared. In addition to giving Qin Xuanbing a red jade bracelet, he also prepared an icy red jade bracelet and a set of pendants and earrings, which were worth over a million.
Before coming here, Zhuang Rui was still thinking to himself that it really cost a lot to pick up girls. But after yesterday's crazy night, Zhuang Rui no longer had that thought. In fact, it was really worth it.
"You have to keep your word. If you don't, you'll come with me to see Mother tonight. Now I'll take you on a tour of Hong Kong."
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Qin Xuanbing was no longer so worried. In fact, she had always been unconventional and not very close to her mother. What she had just done was just a childish, subconscious reaction.
"Zhuang Rui, turn your face away..."
After finding the scattered underwear on the bedside table and the floor, Qin Xuanbing was about to change her clothes.
"No way! You saw me naked yesterday, and I still didn't get a good look at myself..."
Seeing Qin Xuanbing blush and remove her bathrobe in front of him, revealing her graceful figure, Zhuang Rui's previously dejected little penis almost regained its vigor. Men and women who have just tasted this kind of pleasure never get tired of it.
"It's all your fault, these clothes are all wrinkled beyond recognition..."
After getting dressed, Qin Xuanbing's face lost some of its youthful innocence and gained the charm of a mature woman, making her radiant and stunning that almost stunned Zhuang Rui.
"The phone's ringing! Stop it!"
Just as Zhuang Rui lowered his head to look at Qin Xuanbing's red lips, Qin Xuanbing's phone suddenly rang.
"It's still my mom, don't cause trouble..."
Qin Xuanbing pushed away Zhuang Rui's large hands that were roaming over her body and answered the phone.
"Xiaobing, why is your phone still off? You have no idea how worried Mommy is..."
Fang Yi's voice came from the phone. She had been trying to call her daughter since morning, but the phone was always switched off. She was so anxious that she almost arranged for someone to check the registration records of all the hotels in Hong Kong.
"Mommy, my phone was dead, but I just plugged it in. I'm fine. I went shopping with Zhuang Rui today, and I'm taking him home to see Grandpa tonight..."
Like Zhuang Rui, Qin Xuanbing is someone who, once she's made up her mind, is hard to change. She knows that her grandfather is the one who makes the decisions at home, so she wants to skip her parents and get her grandfather to agree to their relationship.
"You child, do you really dislike Mommy and Daddy that much?"
Fang Yi knew what her daughter was thinking. Qin Xuanbing had grown up with her grandfather since she was a child. The reason she said those words earlier was that she was afraid that the couple would stop her from dating Zhuang Rui, so she wanted to go to the old man for advice.
"No, you've all seen Zhuang Rui, only Grandpa hasn't. Besides, you're all home at night, you can see him all the time..."
Qin Xuanbing's tone softened when she heard that her mother did not object to her being with Zhuang Rui.
"Tonight?"
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, followed by Qin's mother's voice: "Not tonight?"
"Why? Zhuang Rui is going back to Beijing in a few days."
Qin Xuanbing was anxious. She didn't know what her mother meant. Did she want to introduce her to those so-called well-matched rich men?
"Don't rush, tell me slowly..."
Although Zhuang Rui couldn't understand Qin Xuanbing's Cantonese, he could tell from her expression that her conversation with her mother didn't seem to be going well.
"You silly child, have you forgotten? Tonight, Justice Ho is holding a charity auction, and we agreed to go a few days ago. We're even bidding on one of your works. How can you not go?"
Fang Yi's words startled Qin Xuanbing. Zhuang Rui's arrival had made her forget about the matter, but her mother's words reminded her of it.
"Mommy, can I not go? Zhuang Rui doesn't have any friends in Hong Kong, and he'll be so bored by himself."
"No, I already gave them an answer a few days ago. You absolutely have to go tonight. It's the least we can do, otherwise people will think our Qin family doesn't know any manners..."
Fang Yi flatly refused her daughter's request, but she couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself. It's said that girls are more outgoing, and that's absolutely true. Someone she'd only known for a few days was now more important to her daughter than herself and the family business.
"How about this, you take Zhuang Rui to the charity auction tonight, is that alright?"
Fang Yi thought for a moment and then gave in. She knew that if she pushed her daughter too far, the likely outcome would be that she would hang up the phone and keep it off.
Besides, Fang Yi had a very good impression of Zhuang Rui, but she wouldn't just hand over her daughter to anyone. Fang Yi wanted to see how good Zhuang Rui's social skills were, and the charity auction that evening would be a good opportunity.
"Okay, I need to discuss this with Zhuang Rui. I'll call you later..."
Qin Xuanbing thought for a moment and didn't rule it out. She was a smart girl and wouldn't think she could make decisions for Zhuang Rui just because she had a relationship with him. This was something Zhuang Rui had to decide for himself.
"What's wrong? Talk to your parents nicely, don't hurt their feelings."
After Qin Xuanbing hung up the phone, Zhuang Rui asked from the side.
Qin Xuanbing shook her head and said, "We didn't argue, it's just that you can't come to my house today. A few days ago, I promised a Justice of the Peace to attend his charity auction dinner, and one of my works is among the items up for auction. It wouldn't be right not to go. Zhuang Rui, what do you think..."
"Then let's go. I can get some rest tonight. I was exhausted yesterday."
Zhuang Rui deliberately stretched, his eyes lingering on Qin Xuanbing with ill intent.
"You're so naughty! My mommy said you have to come with me. Do you want to go?"
After Qin Xuanbing finished speaking, she looked at Zhuang Rui with some anticipation. She didn't want to be separated from Zhuang Rui for even a moment. If Zhuang Rui didn't go, she would rather not go herself.
"By the way, what does a Justice of the Peace do? How old is that person?"
