Chapter 28: Close and Intimate

Li Mengxue lived on the third floor of the Villa. Aside from an elderly maid responsible for cleaning, there were no other housekeeping staff in the entire Villa.

"Sister Xue, it looks like you have to order takeout or eat out every day." After entering the living room, Zhou Lang said with a smile. There were many career women nowadays, but very few who could actually cook.

"Then you've guessed wrong; I always cook for myself." Li Mengxue smiled. "I grew up in the countryside and did all kinds of chores. Back then, I was responsible for the meals at home."

She poured a glass of water for Zhou Lang and then said, "You watch some TV first. I'm going to take a shower. When the moon rises later, we'll go to the rooftop to have some western liquor."

Zhou Lang nodded, thinking that this beautiful boss certainly had good taste in life. He wondered who would eventually win her heart.

Twenty minutes later, Li Mengxue came out after her shower, wearing a set of white pajamas.

Her hair was already dry and draped softly over her shoulders. As soon as she entered the living room, a faint, pleasant fragrance filled the air.

Zhou Lang's heart stirred slightly because Li Mengxue's pajamas were very thin, and one could vaguely see the underwear she was wearing underneath. This wasn't because Li Mengxue was promiscuous; usually, no men appeared in her room, and she was just used to dressing like this when at home.

At twenty-something, Li Mengxue was in the prime of a woman's mature charm. Dressed like this, half-hidden and half-revealed, it was almost too much for Zhou Lang to handle.

Yet, Li Mengxue seemed not to notice this issue. She walked gracefully to Zhou Lang's side and said, "The weather is very hot. You should go wash up first too."

"Sister Xue, I don't have any clothes."

Zhou Lang's face reddened slightly. Although he had transformed from an ordinary person into a Cultivator and his self-confidence had increased unprecedentedly, leading to a great change in his overall temperament, he was still a bit green when it came to matters between men and women.

"Wear my younger brother's pajamas. They haven't been worn yet. He comes over here sometimes, so I keep a few sets for him. There are shirts and pants too, so you don't need to worry about not having clothes to change into tomorrow," Li Mengxue said.

"Sister Xue, you have a younger brother?" Zhou Lang asked.

"Yeah, there are two of us siblings. Our parents are no longer around. Like you, he is a college student, but he's only a sophomore," Li Mengxue said.

Soon, Zhou Lang took the set of clothes Li Mengxue gave him and went to the bathroom.

"I must be having a stroke of luck with romance. The first time I take my beautiful boss home, I'm asked to stay the night. I wonder if something will happen tonight."

Thinking of the scenery beneath Li Mengxue's nearly translucent pajamas, Zhou Lang couldn't help but feel his heart pounding. Even after rinsing with cold water for a long time, he couldn't extinguish the wicked fire rising from his lower abdomen.

Half an hour later, the two of them walked to the rooftop with the western liquor and glasses. Following behind Li Mengxue, watching her voluptuous figure, Zhou Lang's gaze would occasionally become heated.

There was a round table on the rooftop, with a few chairs around it.

The moonlight was like water, and the surroundings were tranquil, appearing very poetic and picturesque.

Although it was midsummer, the rooftop was not hot. The evening breeze blew by, taking away the day's sweltering heat and making people feel cool.

The two sat down by the round table, enjoying the tranquility of the night and the water-like moonlight.

"If only we could always enjoy life so carefree and without worries, how wonderful that would be," Li Mengxue sighed, then opened the expensive western liquor and stood up to pour the drinks.

The collar of her pajamas was a bit open. When she bent over, an expanse of snow-white skin was exposed right before Zhou Lang's eyes. Her breasts were full and uplifted; although he couldn't see everything, the half-hidden sight made it even easier for one to let their imagination run wild.

The wicked fire that Zhou Lang had managed to suppress with great difficulty rose again, but he was still able to restrain himself relatively well. He only took a quick glance at the scenery on Li Mengxue's chest before shifting his gaze away. After all, staring fixedly at a beautiful woman's chest was not very gentlemanly.

"Sister Xue, with me here, it won't be difficult for you to enjoy this kind of life in the future."

Zhou Lang took the initiative to raise his glass and smiled slightly. He knew that Li Mengxue's biggest worry was her fear of Li Qi constantly pestering her. But to him now, Li Qi was really just a character of no consequence. Besides, he had already left a contingency plan, and Li Qi really couldn't stir up any trouble in front of him.

The two clinked glasses. Zhou Lang only took a sip of the western liquor, but Li Mengxue drank nearly half of the wine in her glass. She smiled bitterly and said, "I came from the countryside, with no Foundation and no background. It hasn't been easy to struggle until today. Now that I have some small achievements, I don't have much ambition; I just want to guard this business, Lovers Bar, and live a peaceful life. But I didn't expect that I would be pestered by Li Qi all these years, leaving me exhausted. You have to know, he not only often comes to harass me and ask for money, but he also threatens my younger brother. I am truly sick of it, yet I am powerless."

"Sister Xue, give me Li Qi's phone number. I'll talk to him tomorrow. He won't pester you again in the future," Zhou Lang said. "Even when I'm not around, he won't dare to come and trouble you again."

"Zhou Lang, do you really have a way?" Li Mengxue asked, half-believing and half-doubting.

She had fired Zhou Lang just because he was late once, but Zhou Lang bore no grudge and saved her in a moment of crisis. In her heart, Zhou Lang was an absolutely good person. Furthermore, she had witnessed Zhou Lang's martial arts when he single-handedly drove away more than a dozen thugs. Therefore, she believed that when Zhou Lang was by her side, he would definitely be able to protect her. However, she also knew that Li Qi would not give up so easily; as long as Zhou Lang was away, Li Qi would definitely come to cause her trouble.

"Of course I do. If you trust me, Sister Xue, leave this matter to me." Zhou Lang raised his glass.

"Okay."

Li Mengxue clinked glasses with Zhou Lang, took out her phone, found Li Qi's number, and told Zhou Lang. Although she didn't fully believe that Zhou Lang could handle this matter, she had to treat a dead horse as if it were alive—she had no other choice. She was truly fed up; she didn't want to live this life of fear anymore.

The two enjoyed the evening breeze and drank the western liquor. Time passed quickly, and soon the moon was high in the sky; it was past ten o'clock at night.

Li Mengxue was quite bold when drinking, but her alcohol tolerance was average. When the two finished the bottle of western liquor, her face was already flushed, and she was a bit tipsy.

"Zhou Lang, go downstairs… go… go get another bottle of wine. Let's keep… keep drinking." But Li Mengxue wanted to continue drinking.

"Sister Xue, let's not drink anymore. Let's just rest early," Zhou Lang said. Seeing that Li Mengxue's speech was already slurred, he quickly urged her.

"It's rare to have someone to drink with me… today… today I want to drink to my heart's content." Li Mengxue insisted, "If you don't go get it, I'll go get it myself."

Saying this, she stood up, but she swayed and hadn't taken a few steps before her body fell forward.

Just as she was about to fall to the ground, Zhou Lang moved with lightning speed. He stood up in an instant and rushed over like a bolt of lightning to steady her.

The two made intimate contact. Zhou Lang only felt a burst of fragrance hitting his nose; a mass of warm, fragrant, and soft jade pressed against him. Moreover, the fullness on Li Mengxue's chest was very elastic. Even though it was just pressed against his chest, he still felt very comfortable and satisfied.

When Zhao Xiaorou had seduced him before, she had also rubbed her breasts against him, but Li Mengxue was, after all, a mature woman. He immediately sensed that Li Mengxue's size was even larger than Zhao Xiaorou's.

What was even more lethal was that Li Mengxue's slender, jade-like hands hooked around his neck. To prevent Li Mengxue from falling to the ground, he hesitated for a moment before putting his arms around Li Mengxue's waist.

At this moment, it was equivalent to the two of them embracing each other closely.

Li Mengxue was approaching thirty, but her figure was perfect. Her waist was slender enough to be encircled by one's hands. Although there was a pajama top in between, Zhou Lang could clearly feel everything.

"Sister Xue, are… are you still able to walk?" Zhou Lang felt like he was suffocating, and only after steadying his mind did he speak.

This wasn't his first contact with a woman. Previously, he had seen Xiao Xi's body, been rubbed against by Zhao Xiaorou, and danced a close-contact dance with the foreign girl, Ivanova, in a cramped changing room. But this was the first time he was truly holding a sexy woman in his arms, so his heart stirred greatly, and he became somewhat flustered.

But unexpectedly, Li Mengxue had actually fallen asleep just like that.

"Drunk so quickly?"

Zhou Lang was sweating profusely in his heart. He had seen this situation before at a class reunion; a boy had downed three glasses of beer, got instantly drunk, and fell asleep on the table snoring. Compared to that boy, Li Mengxue's alcohol tolerance was already considered quite good.

"Sister Xue, wake up."

Next, Zhou Lang tried to wake Li Mengxue up, but he failed every time. He had no choice but to scoop Li Mengxue up in his arms and walk downstairs.

Li Mengxue's figure was very standard. Although she was quite tall, she weighed only about a hundred catties. With Zhou Lang's current strength, carrying her was, of course, very easy.

However, Zhou Lang's breathing became slightly ragged, because at this moment, one of his hands was supporting her waist, and the other was supporting her thighs. The plump elasticity of her thighs felt incredibly good, making him unable to resist the urge to let his hand wander over them.

He finally managed to carry Li Mengxue back to her room, but then he faced a dilemma. Li Mengxue was drunk and asleep; he couldn't just put her on the living room sofa to sleep, could he?

If she didn't sleep well like that, Li Mengxue would be sore the next day. But if he carried her into her bedroom, he felt a bit awkward. After all, a girl's bedroom was quite private. He and Li Mengxue were not boyfriend and girlfriend; entering rashly was really not appropriate.

"A gentleman is open and honest. I'm not going to do anything to her, so what am I worried about?"

Zhou Lang thought. After a brief internal struggle, he decided to carry Li Mengxue into the bedroom. His personality had always had a straightforward side, and he didn't like being wishy-washy.

Inside the bedroom, there was a soft light, and the air conditioning was on, making it feel very cozy. It was also kept very tidy, and as soon as he entered, there was a faint, pleasant fragrance.

Zhou Lang carried Li Mengxue to the bedside. Before he could set her down, his face instantly turned red. He saw quite a few things on the bed that he shouldn't have seen: bras and panties as thin as cicada wings, in various colors.

These were a woman's most intimate items, which easily made one's imagination run wild. Needless to say, Li Mengxue hadn't had the chance to put these intimate garments into her wardrobe after drying them.

How dare Zhou Lang look any more? He quickly placed Li Mengxue on the bed and prepared to escape.

"Water… water… I want to drink water…"

When Zhou Lang walked to the door, Li Mengxue parted her red lips slightly, calling out as if she were talking in her sleep.
