Chapter 81

Li Xiujin held Lin Ze's hand, leaning in close to his ear. "Colonel Lin, you're so naughty..."

Lin Ze clamped his hands over his flushed face.

Li Xiujin chuckled. "Weren't you the one who seduced me first? Why are you shy now?"

Lin Ze was speechless.

"As much as I want you, I'm a bit tired today," Li Xiujin said on purpose.

Hearing he was tired, Lin Ze finally moved his hands away. Seeing the faint stubble on his chin, Lin Ze felt instantly ashamed. "Xiu Jin, if you're tired, you should rest..."

"If I go to sleep, but you're about to flood the room, what should we do?" Li Xiujin asked him.

"I... it's fine, it's fine..." Lin Ze said, slightly embarrassed.

Li Xiujin rubbed him with his calloused fingers, and Lin Ze's body immediately went soft.

Seeing this, Li Xiujin took Lin Ze's small, fair earlobe into his mouth. "Lick it for me, and I'll f*ck you."

Lin Ze trembled for a moment, then extended his tongue, licking gently.

Soon, his pale pink lips parted, forming a perfect 'o' shape...

Li Xiujin watched as Lin Ze's black hair lay soft and smooth, his fair, handsome cheeks flushed red. The visual impact made his scalp tingle...

Li Xiujin's hand with prominent knuckles rested on Lin Ze's hair, his gaze dark and obscure as he stared at him, then roughly...

That handsome face became disheveled, a sight that made one's mouth go dry.

While wiping Lin Ze's face, Li Xiujin smeared some of it on his fingers and pushed them into Lin Ze's mouth, making him lick them clean.

Lin Ze shamefully took his fingers into his mouth, licking them clean, bit by bit...

Li Xiujin's breathing grew heavy. "Colonel Lin, do you like the taste?"

Lin Ze's eyelashes fluttered. He turned his face away, then nodded.

Li Xiujin hoisted him up higher.

Lin Ze felt ashamed again. "Xiu Jin..."

"Call me husband," Li Xiujin said, burying his head.

"Hus... husband."

"What did I teach you before?"

"I... I love you, husband."

"Mhm."

"Husband loves you too."

Suddenly, Lin Ze wrapped his arms tightly around Li Xiujin's neck.

Originally, Li Xiujin had been holding himself back out of concern for Lin Ze's body, but he hadn't expected Lin Ze to actively seduce him. Seeing that Lin Ze's body had truly recovered, Li Xiujin abandoned gentleness and restraint, becoming fierce and rough...

After barely a few rounds, Lin Ze shed involuntary tears...

Just as Li Xiujin, seeing his pitiful state, was about to let him off, Lin Ze shuddered, his arms still tightly wrapped around Li Xiujin's neck, and whispered, "Xiu Jin, I... I want to get pregnant..."

Li Xiujin's breath hitched. "Are you sure?"

"Mhm, mhm..."

And so, from then on, no matter how much Lin Ze begged for mercy, Li Xiujin ignored him.

*

As the time for Li Xiujin to finish work and return home approached, Lin Ze felt a slight tremor of fear...

He deeply regretted seducing his husband because he wanted to get pregnant. Ever since that night, Xiu Jin had pressed him down every evening, not stopping until dawn...

Although his legs had no sensation, they would tremble every morning when he woke up.

When the time finally came for Li Xiujin to return, that place on Lin Ze's body began to ache with phantom pain...

Suddenly, his phone rang. Lin Ze's heart nearly jumped out of his chest. Seeing it was Xiu Jin calling, Lin Ze steeled himself before answering.

"Xiu Jin, are you home?"

"A three-day business trip?"

"I... I'll take good care of myself," Lin Ze said, his tone becoming lighter.

"Happy? I'm not happy, I'll miss you terribly..." Lin Ze hadn't expected him to be so perceptive, even catching the change in his tone. He hurriedly explained.

"I'll wait for you to come back."

After hanging up, Lin Ze let out a sigh of relief, then felt his cheeks burn with shame.

He truly would miss Xiu Jin, but his body simply couldn't take any more...

That night, Lin Ze thought he would sleep easily, but he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Perhaps from overuse, he felt hot, swollen, and slightly itchy, making him start to crave Xiu Jin's scorching tongue and rough fingers...

He really had been ruined by Xiu Jin...

With that thought, Lin Ze drifted into a hazy sleep.

Li Xiujin, who had said he would need three days, returned in less than two. When he arrived home, Lin Ze was trying to read a picture book to Li Chongyi. Lin Ze had thought he would have a well-behaved, adorable child, but... Chongyi only embodied the 'adorable' part. Lin Ze had barely read two words before Chongyi snatched the book away and put it in his mouth...

Lin Ze tried to retrieve it, but Li Chongyi had already toddled unsteadily outside.

"Chongyi, don't run around..."

As soon as Lin Ze finished speaking, accompanied by crying, Li Chongyi was carried back by Li Xiujin.

Seeing Li Xiujin, Lin Ze felt both joy and worry. He forced a smile. "Didn't you say three days?"

Li Xiujin placed Li Chongyi in the fenced area designed to prevent him from running around.

"I finished early."

"I see..." Lin Ze lowered his eyes.

Li Xiujin picked him up from the carpet and placed him on the sofa, then scrutinized him intently. "What, are you unhappy that I came back early?"

"No, no..."

"I can see that you do. Do you wish I hadn't come back?"

Lin Ze quickly shook his head. "I've missed you, Xiu Jin..."

"Oh? Doesn't look like it to me." Li Xiujin suddenly scooped him onto his lap.

Fortunately, Li Chongyi had gone back to gnawing on the board book and didn't notice them. Lin Ze felt slightly embarrassed and, under Li Xiujin's pressing, told him how much he'd missed him the previous night.

That finally satisfied Li Xiujin. He buried his face in Lin Ze's neck, licking and sucking at his pale skin.

Soon, Lin Ze felt Li Xiujin's unusually strong arousal and trembled with shame. "Aren't you tired? Maybe you should rest first..."

"I want you," Li Xiujin said hoarsely.

"Rest first. After you've rested..."

Li Xiujin turned his face and captured his lips for a moment before calling a servant to watch Li Chongyi. Then he swept Lin Ze up and carried him to their bedroom.

Lin Ze lay on the bed, cheeks flushed, trembling slightly.

Li Xiujin took his time. Instead, he took two silk ribbons from his pocket. One was used to blindfold Lin Ze, the other to bind his hands.

Unable to see and with his arms immobilized, Lin Ze was plunged into extreme vulnerability, his senses heightened to an acute level. Soon, he felt Li Xiujin undress him, planting kisses over every inch of his skin. That tongue became exceptionally rough, like sandpaper abrading the hot, swollen places...

He wanted to escape but couldn't move, tormented by Xiu Jin's licks...

And as if sensing his heat and swelling, after hearing a clear, clinking sound, something icy cold was suddenly pushed inside. Realizing ice cubes had been inserted, Lin Ze shuddered violently. "Xiu Jin, don't..."

Soon, something even hotter took its place...

He didn't know how much time had passed. Lin Ze had reached his limit, but Li Xiujin still wasn't done with him yet. Lin Ze's legs curled up as he struggled to move backward. Expecting to be pulled back immediately, Lin Ze waited in vain for any movement from Li Xiujin...

Until the ribbons on his eyes and wrists were untied. Li Xiujin suddenly gathered him into his arms, unable to contain his joy. "You can move your legs!"

Lin Ze's mind was still hazy and blank, and he didn't understand his words at first. Li Xiujin then gently bit his leg. A sharp pinch made him gasp, and once the shock passed, Lin Ze's eyes welled up instantly.

"Try moving them again."

Lin Ze then focused and willed his leg to curl up. Unlike before, when it lay soft and motionless, his leg now moved somewhat stiffly but indeed curled up.

Li Xiujin carried him to the bathroom to clean up, dressed him, and then they went to the hospital.

After the doctor confirmed that Lin Ze's legs were gradually regaining normal function, the two embraced tightly.

In the following period, Lin Ze, like an infant, learned to walk with Li Xiujin's support. Finally, by the time Li Chongyi turned two, Lin Ze could walk just as he had before.

As his body returned to normal, Lin Ze gradually resumed his work.

Only, Lin Ze's belly still showed no signs of movement.

Seeing Lin Ze's crestfallen look every time he used a pregnancy test, Li Xiujin took him to the hospital for another check-up. This time, not only was Lin Ze examined, but Li Xiujin also underwent one.

Li Xiujin was still young, and he was in perfect health.

Lin Ze's body had also returned to full health after recuperation.

"Is it because I had a miscarriage before," Lin Ze whispered, "that I can't get pregnant?"

The doctor said, "Colonel Lin, you're overthinking it. The surgery after your miscarriage was performed promptly and didn't harm your fertility."

"If you want to conceive, maintain a happy mood in your daily life, eat healthy foods, exercise appropriately, quit smoking and drinking if you do, and don't be too anxious. Let things take their natural course..."

Learning that the miscarriage hadn't affected his fertility, the constant worry Lin Ze had carried eased slightly.

Back in the car, Li Xiujin pulled Lin Ze onto his lap. "From now on, I'll work harder, and you can't just pass out whenever."

Lin Ze's ears grew hot. Fainting wasn't exactly his choice, but he still mumbled in agreement.

Li Xiujin told the driver to head home. Then he pressed his face against Lin Ze's back, and soon his hand slipped under Lin Ze's shirt, rubbing his abdomen before moving downward...

"How about we try once in the car?" Li Xiujin enclosed him in his hand.

Lin Ze was mortified, despite the privacy partition. "Can we wait until we get home..."

Li Xiujin listened to him, turning him around and burrowing into his embrace, sucking on his chest through his shirt all the way until the car arrived home.

However, upon arriving home, Li Chongyi, who hadn't seen Lin Ze all day, shot into his arms like a cannonball and began making a fuss. Only when Lin Ze held him did he quiet down.

Li Xiujin pinched the bridge of his nose, suddenly remembering that Li Chongyi, this little menace, was also interfering with their married life.

After his second birthday, Li Chongyi grew more mischievous and clever. Before, Li Xiujin could easily distract him with a toy and have a servant put him to sleep, but now no one could fool him.

When bedtime came, Li Chongyi stuck to Lin Ze like glue. Wherever Lin Ze went, he followed. When Lin Ze went to bed, he quickly took off his shoes, burrowed into Lin Ze's arms, and demanded to be held while sleeping.

Lin Ze had no choice but to hold him.

"Mama, do you wuv me?" After mastering language, Li Chongyi asked this question every night.

"Of course I do."

Hearing Lin Ze say he loved him, Li Chongyi was overjoyed. His warm, downy little head burrowed insistently into Lin Ze's chest as he said, "I wuv Mama too..."

Li Xiujin watched coldly.

Only after Lin Ze had coaxed Li Chongyi to sleep did Lin Ze have a chance to speak with Li Xiujin.

"Xiu Jin, he's asleep. Let's go to the study."

Li Xiujin looked at him.

"What's wrong?"

Li Xiujin's expression was cold.

The penny dropped for Lin Ze. He quickly drew him into a hug, gently cupping his face. "Xiu Jin, I love you too..."

Li Xiujin's expression softened slightly, and he deliberately asked, "What are we going to the study for?"

Lin Ze grew shy. "To have Xiu Jin's baby..."
