Chapter 71: This Coffee Is Sweet to the Heart

“Click!” Wen Wan locked the door on the second floor. As she turned around, Chen Luo caught her in a warm embrace.

Chen Luo gently kissed Wen Wan’s earlobe, sending a tingling sensation through her that made her legs instinctively press together.

“Wan’er, you don’t need to be like this. You don’t have to worry about them stealing me away. My heart belongs to you alone.”

Wen Wan relished those words, her smile narrowing her eyes with delight. Indeed, even when faced with Liu Hua and Zhou Mei’s constant attentions, Chen Luo never showed the slightest interest and always kept his distance. Whether Wen Wan was at his side or not, he consistently did so.

“All right, all right, all right. I just can’t help but be vigilant when I see girls getting close to you. I would never want my precious monk’s flesh to be bitten by anyone,” she teased.

“I understand, truly.” Chen Luo buried his face in Wen Wan’s hair, inhaling deeply. The intoxicating fragrance filled his senses, not with desire, but with the memory of Mo Lan’s reminder before dinner.

“Due to the appearance of the family head earlier, President Wen’s condition may flare up suddenly tonight. Please make sure to soothe her emotions before bed.”

“So early to rest? Don’t you still have work to do?” Chen Luo released Wen Wan’s waist and pointed to the pile of documents on the desk.

Wen Wan nodded. These were urgent matters, after all—the takeover of Wen Xiu’s territory had left her with a thousand tangled threads to unravel, and arrangements had to be made as soon as possible.

“Very well, you work first. I’ll go make you a cup of coffee.”

Wen Wan thoroughly enjoyed how Chen Luo cared for her moods and work schedule. He gave her all the time she needed, waiting quietly at her side without disturbing her in any way. Wasn’t this a kind of tender protection and love? She giggled inwardly.

With joy in her heart, Wen Wan worked with unusual efficiency, finishing three documents in less than five minutes.

Just then, Chen Luo approached with a mug, stirring the coffee with a small spoon. He carefully pulled up a chair beside her, watching as she finished another document. At a pause, he scooped some coffee with the spoon, blew on it twice, and held it to her lips.

“Here, have a sip.”

Wen Wan turned slightly, ready to open her mouth for the coffee, but instead felt a warm, moist sensation on her cheek.

“Mua! Darling, is this coffee sweet?”

She turned to see Chen Luo’s bright, close smile. Her lips curled in amusement. Taking the spoon from his hand, she lifted his chin gently with a finger.

“Come now, husband, open up.”

“Ah.”

Wen Wan leaned forward to kiss Chen Luo’s lips. He instinctively tried to dodge, but she caught him firmly.

“Oh! You dare to dodge? No running away!”

“Mua! Mua! Mua!”

Several fragrant kisses landed on Chen Luo’s cheeks, leaving three marks of red lips.

“Well? Husband, tell me—is this coffee sweet?”

“Sweet—sweet down to the depths of my heart.”

They both burst out laughing, their laughter echoing through the heavenly room.

After more playful banter, Wen Wan returned to her work. Chen Luo, sitting beside her, opened a laptop and, with nothing else to do, started up League of Legends, matching for a game and playing on his own.

A few rounds passed, and Chen Luo was fully immersed, enjoying himself. An hour later, Wen Wan had finished all her documents, her efficiency heightened thanks to Chen Luo. Turning her head, she saw him engrossed in his game. Something seemed to occur to her; the corner of her mouth lifted as she walked toward the wardrobe.

“ADC! Don’t be afraid! The jungler is here!”

“Mid, push the tower! I’ve killed two!”

Chen Luo whispered into his mic, commanding the battle, unaware Wen Wan had come over.

Suddenly, with a bang, a sleek black leg appeared in front of Chen Luo’s monitor.

The glossy black stockings were dazzling; that leg was slender and long—longer than Chen Luo’s very life!

“Is the game fun? Is it more fun than me?”

Chen Luo looked up and saw Wen Wan dressed in a black, low-cut bunny girl outfit, with long bunny ears atop her head and a small fluffy tail behind.

He couldn’t help himself. He slapped the table and stood up abruptly, startling his teammates in the voice chat.

“Jungler! What’s going on? What happened?”

“Brothers, what do you do if your girlfriend won’t let you play games?”

“No, man! Don’t go AFK! Don’t be tempted by beauty!”

“Maybe… you could ask your girlfriend to go to bed first.”

His teammates offered their advice, urging Chen Luo not to abandon them. But Wen Wan leaned close to his ear.

“Is bunny not cute? Isn’t bunny more fun than the game?”

With a bang, Chen Luo tossed his headset onto the table, the voices of his teammates still echoing.

“Jungler! We need you!”

“We’re about to win! Please don’t go AFK! Resist the devil’s temptation!”

“Sorry, brothers! Who could resist a goddess girlfriend in a bunny suit and black stockings?”

“Damn!”

“Damn! If you’re going AFK, fine—but must you break our hearts, too?”

“You’re unforgivable! You’re unforgivable!”

Ignoring their cries, Chen Luo shut down the computer, strode over, and swept Wen Wan into his arms. She covered her mouth, laughing softly.

“What do you do when your girlfriend clings to you and won’t let you play games?”

Chen Luo carried Wen Wan toward the large bed, laughing aloud.

“Of course, you lull your girlfriend to sleep first, then play!”

“Oh? Are you sure you’ll still have the strength to play games later? Looks like tonight you’ll learn how formidable I can be.”

The two laughed and teased, soon rolling together on the bed. Joyful sounds filled the room, spring blossoming everywhere.

…

The next morning.

Chen Luo slowly opened his eyes and found Wen Wan sleeping against his shoulder. Gently, he moved her aside so as not to wake her, then quietly got out of bed and looked back at her with tender affection.

“The milk tea shop opens this afternoon. There’s still time this morning. Let me make her a sumptuous breakfast.”
