Because I simply love you
Chapter 364: Mission seduction (2)

Jianyu's heart turned a hell of a mess as soon as he felt Serena's soft lips crashing on his. It was as if his brain stopped functioning, and he couldn't process what just happened. Everything felt jumbled up.

His eyes popped out of his sockets when it finally sunk in that Serena kissed him. Her fragrance tingled towards his nostrils, and he felt uncomfortable.

She…Is she seriously kissing me!?

Serena glided her lips along his akin to a soft tune. She turned his lips wet by darting her tongue over them, making him shudder.

With his free hand, Jianyu started to push her away, but she parted and backed away. His hand hit just the empty air.

"Se.re.na!" He enounced each other as more veins popped out on his forehead. "You…"

Serena's heart was beating erratically in nervousness. But she had already steeled her mind to do this.

Serena grinned mischievously. "What? Didn't you say that nothing about me affects you now? But I can still hear your heart drumming like a loud DJ~~~…"

"Have you lost it! Get off me right now!"

"No." she simply stated.

Jianyu's gaze darkened, and one could already see the storm coming from miles away. He grabbed Serena's arm and clutched it hard.

"Don't force me to be harsh with you!"

Serena was unaffected. "Sure. Go ahead. Your one hand is still free. Push me away. But if I fell and the baby gets hurt…"

Jianyu froze.

"Will you be able to bear the consequences?"

Jianyu's chest was heaving up and down with the rage boiling inside him. His expression was dark and ugly. He really wished to throw her out! But at no cost, he would dare let single harm come to his child.

He pointed his trembling hand towards her. "You…"

He sneered. "How can I forget that you could be so shameless? But every time you surprise me, how far you can cross your limits!"

Serena knew she won. Her lips curved into a bright smile. She bent again and whispered to his ear. "I want you back, Jianyu. You don't leave me any choice but to get shameless." And she instantly captured his lips. Her hand wandered off to his shirt, which she unceremoniously started to unbutton.

Jianyu widened his eyes. He caught her hand, but Serena feigned to stumble. He stopped and caught her.

"What are you doing?" He asked after a long time.

Serena raised her brow. "Seducing you. Can't you see?"

"…"

"You felt jealous right when Hu Zhu was checking me out?"

Jianyu laughed angrily. "You need to see a doctor."

She shrugged. "I already know what you felt. That's why you were so irritated. You can choose to dismiss it. Your choice. But right now…"

Her finger traveled from his neckline towards his broad chest. She drooled over his toned and muscular body.

The contact tingled Jianyu. He felt his throat go dry, and he had a sudden urge to pin Serena beneath him.

From his lips, she left a trail of gentle kisses on his neck. Then she suddenly bit him and nipped the swelling with her teeth. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and he felt an excitement surge inside him despite his futile resistance.

She touched and felt every part of his chest and abdomen. Her lips over his naked skin ignited a fire within him. He shut his eyes and breathed hard, trying to divert his mind.

"Serena, I swear I will make your life miserable if you don't stop."

Serena wryly smiled. "Without Nana and you, isn't it already miserable? How more miserable can you make it?"

Jianyu's brow slightly twitched. He said nothing. He looked down to see her giving feather-like kisses.

"What do you want from me?"

Serena stopped. She raised her head and stared back at his beautiful eyes. She was quiet for a while.

"I want three things."

He laughed. "Why do you think you are in any position to ask, not one but three things?"

"It's my birthday today. I am free to do whatever I want just for today."

"…"

"Heh! I already know what one of the things is going to be. You will ask to let you live with my child, right? That will never happen!"

Serena trembled a bit. "…No. Though I really want it, I am not going to ask you that."

She knew it was impossible, anyway.

Jianyu silently stared at her. "Out with your 'three requests.'"

Serena took a deep breath. "First. I know you won't mean it from your heart, but I still want to hear it…please wish me 'Happy Birthday.'"

Jianyu blinked his eyes in surprise. He never thought this could be a request. He felt a certain knot in his throat.

"Even if it is as emotionless as it could get, I still want to hear your wish. Nonetheless, it will make me happy."

Suddenly, Jianyu felt a bit sad for her. He felt her expectant gaze on him.

What? No! She cannot melt my heart like this. She is not pitiful at all!

"Happy Birthday." He quietly said.

Serena looked at him, aggrieved. "At least look at me and say it…"

He glared at her, but then he helplessly softened his gaze just a bit. This time he looked straight at her. "Happy birthday."

Serena's heart bloomed in joy. At least she still got to hear his wishes no matter if it was forced. It was still precious to her.

"Second?"

Her eyes dimmed. "You…are going to take the baby away once it's born. But before that happens, I want to do something for him. So, just once, I wish to go baby shopping with you. Just like a happy couple, I want us to buy all those things together…clothes, crib, toys…I want to be a part of it with you…At least that would be my last precious memory of us three being together."

Jianyu was silent for a long time. "Okay."

Serena felt a huge burden lift off. She already couldn't wait for that day.

"And last?"

Jianyu's tone had softened a lot by now. His tough exterior was melting down as he realized that her requests were not unreasonable after all.

Serena coughed.

He would surely flip out with my last request, but here I go.

"What is the last one?" He asked again.

Serena looked straight at him.

"Sleep with me."
