Chapter 299 - 116 Sister Rivalry: Killing Two Birds with One Stone_3
She saw Yun Shen slip into a set of home attire, buttoning up as he emerged from the wardrobe, perfectly at ease, unhurried, as if everything that had just transpired was merely an illusion.
"Do I need to report to you even when I change clothes?" Though his voice remained calm, it inevitably had a touch of huskiness that tickled the bottom of Kang Jinxian’s heart, prompting her to lift a hand to her lips and smile with her eyes narrowed into slits.
This feeling, it was really thrilling.
Kang Jinse immediately chuckled, "No, no, I’ve already made the bed. Brother Shen, let’s rest soon." With that, she walked towards Yun Shen with a catlike tread, her seductive eyes woven with allure.
Yun Shen casually averted his gaze. "I’m a bit thirsty, go downstairs and pour me a glass of water."
Kang Jinse’s face stiffened, and she cast a resentful glance at Yun Shen before obediently walking out.
No sooner had Kang Jinse left than Kang Jinxian stepped out from the wardrobe and approached Yun Shen. "Brother, I’ve caused you trouble."
Yun Shen looked down at her. "Go back and rest."
Kang Jinxian sniffled, then suddenly threw herself into his arms. "Brother, I really do love you."
Yun Shen controlled himself, gently pushing her away: "I will come to you."
Kang Jinxian immediately looked up, surprised and happy. "Really?"
Yun Shen nodded slightly and raised a hand to touch her face. His eyes were filled with complex emotions that Kang Jinxian couldn’t discern, but now she didn’t need to see them clearly; all she needed was Yun Shen’s attitude.
"Go back, your sister will be back soon."
Kang Jinxian left reluctantly.
When Kang Jinse came in, Yun Shen was sitting on the edge of the bed, flipping through a finance magazine.
Handing him the glass of water, Yun Shen took a sip and then placed it on the bedside table, returning to his magazine.
Intentionally leaving her pajama top largely unbuttoned, exposing a hint of her chest, Kang Jinse nestled close to Yun Shen, cooing, "Brother Shen~." The sound was enough to send tingles down one’s spine.
Yun Shen frowned. "What are you doing?"
Was he really clueless or just pretending to be noble? Kang Jinse felt a rush of irritation and turned over to lie down.
After browsing the magazine for a while, Yun Shen grew tired too and turned off the light to lie down.
Before long, a smooth, bare body pressed against him, and Yun Shen reluctantly turned over.
Kang Jinse, shamelessly hugging his back and letting her hands wander, started to tease him.
Suddenly, Yun Shen caught her roving hand, his voice cold and merciless in the darkness: "I’m tired today, let’s sleep."
Kang Jinse sat up abruptly. "Yun Shen, you need to make yourself clear. Are you disgusted with me because I’m old? Is that why you don’t want to touch me?"
"In the middle of the night, what are you causing a fuss about?" Yun Shen’s tone was laced with impatience.
"Me causing a fuss? If you don’t clarify, don’t even think about sleeping peacefully. Tell me, are you seeing another woman?" she demanded, shoving at Yun Shen’s body.
"Enough." Yun Shen suddenly sat up, his stare icy. "Have you had your fill of this?"
With tearful eyes, Kang Jinse looked pitiful—a stark contrast to her bare face, which, ravaged by make-up, had rough and sallow skin, with prominent dark circles under her eyes. In the darkness, her disheveled appearance was far from beautiful, resembling more a ghostly figure.
"Brother Shen, I’ve given you all the best years of my youth. You can’t abandon me; otherwise, I won’t be able to go on living."
Feeling a sudden revulsion at her appearance, Yun Shen got out of bed, slipped on his coat, and walked out.
"You need to calm down properly. I’ll sleep in the study tonight."
With a "bang," the door slammed shut, and the room fell silent.
Kang Jinse, grabbing a pillow, hurled it hard at the door. "How can you treat me this way?"
Even though she didn’t want to admit it, she had to accept the fact that Yun Shen must have found another woman.
All men favor young and beautiful women, and at thirty-five, she was no longer young. The once National Fairy was approaching middle age, and it was natural for Yun Shen to grow tired of her, but she didn’t expect him to be so heartless.
Clenching her teeth, she silently vowed that should she catch the minx, she would surely scratch her face beyond recognition.
The man of Kang Jinse was not someone any woman could covet.
The study also had a bed, though it wasn’t very comfortable.
Yun Shen had hardly lain down when a svelte figure slipped in.
With a "click," the door was locked from the inside.
The next moment, a bare body slid into bed with him.
Like tinder to flame, they ignited instantly.
Lost in passion, Kang Jinxian dared not make a sound, desperately holding back, which only added a forbidden tension akin to a secret affair.
Yun Shen finally understood why he was reluctant to touch Kang Jinse.
