Indulgence - Chapter 46
Chapter 46
Jiang Nian still couldn't resist leaning in to capture the other woman's red lips, kissing the soft, familiar flesh.
The kiss landing on the corner of her mouth soothed the itch in her heart born from restraint. Yao Ran paid no mind to the rhythm of her breathing, simply pressing her lips against Jiang Nian's.
In the private, undisturbed space, their lips ground against each other ambiguously, both of them lost in the moment.
After two or three kisses, their lips pressed closer together involuntarily. Jiang Nian took Yao Ran's lower lip into her mouth, sucking on it gently.
Yao Ran's eyes closed completely. As she parted her lips slightly to cooperate with the kiss, her arms wrapped around Jiang Nian's slender waist in an uncontrolled, natural gesture.
With an arm around her waist, Jiang Nian's kisses slowed. In the past, they would have to kiss deeply for a long time before Yao Ran would be moved enough to hold her…
This embrace made Jiang Nian's head spin even more. Her kisses fell like rain, clinging to the person in her arms with increasing urgency and greed.
Just like before, Jiang Nian was impatient and passionate the moment she started kissing. Yao Ran felt the repeated heat delivered to her lips. At this moment, she had no thought of pushing her away; on the contrary, she couldn't resist in the slightest.
Yao Ran closed her eyes and let Jiang Nian kiss her lips forcefully, an unconscious, hazy desire even beginning to surface—to be held tighter, to be kissed deeper.
Jiang Nian was all too eager to do just that. As she pecked at Yao Ran's lips, she reached out to caress her face, pressing against her body and taking the opportunity to slip her soft tongue between her lips, skillfully exploring and teasing, pestering her for a deep kiss.
The kiss left Yao Ran's waist feeling weak. She held Jiang Nian tighter in return. She discovered that time hadn't calmed her down; instead, it had intensified her feelings for Jiang Nian. The more she tried to restrain herself, the more unbearable it became, the more it threatened to burst forth.
Being rational was agonizing. It turned out some things couldn't be solved by simply telling yourself to stay rational.
She continuously met Jiang Nian's urgent kisses. This time, it felt more like a conscious surrender.
"Mmm—" Jiang Nian was burning up from the kiss. She nibbled and sucked on Yao Ran's lips, using every trick she knew. When she liked someone, she liked them; she couldn't be reserved in the slightest. The feigned composure she had maintained around Yao Ran recently had been driving her crazy. Now that they had both lost control, she couldn't bear to stop, using her lips and tongue to tempt and tease the woman before her.
Hearing the sound Jiang Nian couldn't help but make, Yao Ran's heart burned as always. But this time, she didn't tell Jiang Nian to be quieter. Instead, in a rush of blood to the head, she clumsily sent her own tongue out to entwine with Jiang Nian's, just as Jiang Nian always did when she kissed her.
As expected—
"Mmm~" Jiang Nian's hums grew even more unrestrained, and she was nearly out of breath. She simply sat on Yao Ran's lap, burying her head to offer up her lips and tongue, making it more comfortable to kiss. "Mmm."
Having been thoroughly aroused, Yao Ran had no time to worry about being embarrassed. She slowly tilted her neck back, sharing a fervent, wet kiss with the person on top of her.
The tube of ointment at her side fell to the floor with a soft thud, but the two of them, lost in their deep kiss, paid it no mind, their tongues entangled as they held each other and swallowed every wisp of each other's breath.
The loud music from outside seeped into the break room, and the restless beat made the restlessness in their hearts swell in tandem. Their passionate kiss was still impulsive, but an instinctive impulse, made without careful consideration, was precisely what signified the truest form of affection and desire.
Just as the two in the room were kissing with wild abandon, the door was pushed open—
Ruan Xin had only come over to check on the situation. She never expected that upon opening the door, she would accidentally walk in on such a fiery, passionate scene.
She saw Jiang Nian straddling Yao Ran's lap, the two of them caressing each other's waists and backs, their bodies pressed together, their lips and tongues locked in an inseparable tangle.
Yao Ran…
???
Ruan Xin froze on the spot, her mind reeling. She thought she was seeing things from drinking too much and calmly checked again. The person passionately tongue-kissing Jiang Nian was indeed the same Yao Ran she had known for over twenty years, the one who always wore an expression of detached indifference.
The music outside was too loud, and Jiang Nian and Yao Ran were too absorbed on the sofa to hear the door open. They were still kissing with abandon, oblivious to the person standing in the doorway.
"Mmm—" Jiang Nian was panting heavily. She had been holding back with Yao Ran for too long, and it was all coming out in an uncontrollable rush.
The music at her ear grew much louder. Yao Ran opened her eyes slightly. As she broke the kiss and gasped for breath, she saw that Ruan Xin had arrived…
These two can get this breathless just from a kiss? Given the circumstances, it was no wonder Jiang Nian hadn't seen the message she sent. Having stumbled upon this scene, Ruan Xin had intended to leave quietly, to evaporate like thin air, but Yao Ran had already spotted her.
Jiang Nian, still not having had her fill, buried her head to continue kissing but was gently pushed by Yao Ran. Only then did she realize someone was there, and she immediately moved off Yao Ran's lap.
Ruan Xin was worldly, but this scene nearly made her blush. It was a good thing she'd come early; if she had been any later, she feared she would have seen more than just kissing.
The three of them faced each other in an awkward encounter.
Ruan Xin was too shocked to speak. It was obvious she had come at the wrong time. She tactfully left, pulling the door shut behind her.
After closing the door, she recalled Yao Ran's expression just now. Ruan Xin paused in a daze, completely bewildered. Sexually frigid? Kissing like that and you call it sexually frigid? She couldn't believe she had actually fallen for that nonsense…
Inside the room, both women had cooled down from their fervent moment, and an awkward atmosphere took over.
Yao Ran frowned discreetly. Though her expression remained relatively calm, she was going crazy inside. Of all people, Ruan Xin had to be the one to see that.
No matter how shameless Jiang Nian was, she felt awkward too. She glanced at Yao Ran and saw that she had changed her expression at lightning speed, quickly resuming her usual calm and proper demeanor, even though they had been kissing so intensely just moments before.
Her heart fell into disarray again. Was that passionate moment just another impulse that didn't count? After all, it wasn't the first time they had "accidentally caught fire."
Jiang Nian quietly looked at Yao Ran, waiting for her to say something. After what had just happened between them, surely they had to say something tonight, right?
Being stared at by Jiang Nian, Yao Ran also felt that they probably should say something…
A phone buzzed a few times.
Yao Ran reminded her, "Your phone is ringing."
"Oh." Jiang Nian picked up her phone. There were a lot of messages, all asking where she was and telling her to come back for drinks.
Yao Ran guessed it was those friends looking for Jiang Nian. She said softly, "You should go drink with them."
Jiang Nian asked hurriedly, "Aren't you coming?"
Yao Ran thought of Ruan Xin just now… She said, "I'm a bit tired from my business trip. I'm going to head back first."
"I don't want to drink tonight. I just want to be with you." Jiang Nian's gaze lingered on Yao Ran's face as she spoke bluntly. "I haven't seen you in days. I missed you."
Yao Ran felt a tug at her heartstrings. Last night, when Jiang Nian sent "Si Mao misses you," she knew the message had another meaning. Jiang Nian couldn't hide her thoughts; her little tricks were too easy to see through.
Jiang Nian replied to Ruan Xin's message, saying she was a bit tired today and wouldn't be drinking with everyone.
They left the bar through the back alley again. Summer had arrived, and the alley was lush with greenery.
Walking through the lane, Jiang Nian slowed her pace. She turned to look at Yao Ran, hesitating to speak.
Yao Ran turned to look at her as well. "What is it?"
There was no one else in the alley. Under the dim, hazy glow of the streetlamp, Jiang Nian wrapped her arms around Yao Ran, pulling her into a face-to-face embrace.
Yao Ran felt a warmth spread through her chest.
They were of similar height, so when they hugged face-to-face, their eyes met directly. And the eyes were precisely the place where one's feelings were hardest to hide.
"Are you going to avoid me again?" Jiang Nian asked in a low voice, tightening her arms as if afraid the person in her embrace would leave.
Her waist was held tighter. Yao Ran looked at her and answered softly, "No."
"Really? You always avoid me after you stir me up…" Jiang Nian asked, her insecurity and grievance written all over her face.
Seeing Jiang Nian's aggrieved look, Yao Ran slowly raised her arms and hugged her back in silent comfort. This time, she had no intention of holding back or avoiding the issue; otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed herself to get close to Jiang Nian in the first place.
Her hug was returned, and Jiang Nian finally smiled. She leaned closer to Yao Ran and murmured, "So, should I keep pursuing you?"
The tips of their noses brushed against each other flirtatiously. Yao Ran couldn't help but ask in a soft voice, "Is this how you pursue someone? So improper."
She talked a good game about pursuing someone, but she was always sending suggestive photos and then hugging and kissing at every opportunity. Yao Ran was well aware of all this, yet she still let Jiang Nian tease her.
"I like you too much, I can't help it," Jiang Nian said with a smile, raising an eyebrow. "You couldn't help it tonight either, could you? You were clearly improper with me too."
The reserved woman had held her and even initiated a deep kiss. Thinking about it now, Jiang Nian felt like she was dreaming. Tonight, Yao Ran's response hadn't been faint; it had been just like hers, tinged with an irrepressible loss of control.
So shameless. Yao Ran gently pinched her cheek to chasten her.
But Jiang Nian just beamed at her, enjoying it immensely.
Yao Ran silently gazed at the sweet smile before her, her eyes filled with a straightforward affection and love that gave her a heart-fluttering feeling she had never experienced before. This affection was too ardent, so ardent that she found it hard to resist, and she didn't want to miss it.
Hugging and laughing like this under the streetlamp, they were just like a couple, bringing a sense of peace.
Jiang Nian touched her nose with her own and asked impatiently, "Am I yours now?"
