Chapter 868: His Size

When she woke the next day, she found herself lying on the broad, sturdy chest of a man.

Under the morning sunlight, the tan chest exuded a healthy gleam and looked extremely sexy. It seemed to have the powerful beauty of a beast. She stared the chest in front of her in confusion. When had Li Lei arrived? Wasn’t he at the Xia Family mountain village?

When had he carried her back, changed her into her pajamas, and…

Had his fill of her?!

Xia Ling looked down at his hands that were sneakily inside her silk nightgown. Smacking his hand away, she sulkily prodded him. “Hey, wake up!”

Yet, the Big Boss merely pulled her back into his embrace while half-asleep, adjusting himself into a more comfortable position such that she was under him, and snuggling with a satisfied smile on his face, as if she was a huge human-shaped bolster.

Xia Ling struggled to get up. “You… get up… so heavy!”

Big Boss continued to sleep like the dead.

Xia Ling glared angrily at him, but it was no use. The Big Boss was completely unaffected, his lips pressed onto her cheek and his warm breath blowing by her ears.

She was uncomfortable under him and tried to push him away, but her hands and legs were all under him and she couldn’t move at all.

Xia Ling started to cry.

She struggled a while longer, tiring herself out, before giving up and falling back to sleep. When she next woke up, she realized that the Big Boss was taking advantage of her again, kissing her soft skin and his hands traversing all over her body.

“Li Lei, you…” Xia Ling exploded at him, pinching his ear. “Are you a pig?! Why were you so dead in your sleep?! And what are you doing just as you’re up?! Do you have no shame?!”

What’s shame? Can it be eaten?

Li Lei ignored her and silently had his fill again.

Hence, Xia Ling could only submit to his will in full indignance….

Boohoohoo…

Lying in the thick and soft down feather duvet, a certain Big Boss smiled at Xia Ling. “You were so passionate this morning… were you happy to realize that I was back?”

Xia Ling was close to tears. Happy my foot! When was she passionate? She was trying so hard to resist! Resist! She asked angrily, “Weren’t you with my dad and brother? Why did you come back so fast? How about your grandfather… and you father… and all of your other relatives?”

She spotted Old Master Li and many Li Family members in the proposal video yesterday. Even Li Lei’s father, who rarely made an appearance, surprisingly appeared in the video.

Li Lei lazily kissed her again. Mmhmm… Xiao Ling’s skin was the best… fragrant and soft… Being away from her was like torture to him, and he would miss her every moment of the day. He skirted over her question. “I left after the proposal yesterday. Grandfather and the rest went back to the headquarters overseas. I took a red-eye flight all alone yesterday to rush back to see you. Aren’t you touched? Why were you sleeping by Shaohui’s bed? You’ll catch a cold like that. That little rascal was hugging onto you, refusing to let go. Hmph… how dare he try to steal his dad’s woman? Is he tired of living?”

Xia Ling wanted to retort on Shaohui’s behalf. Who was the one that was refusing to let her go now?

Rolling her eyes, Xia Ling said angrily, “I’m hungry. I want to eat.”

A certain Big Boss was still not satisfied and said, “Be good, let me kiss you a while longer before I cook you breakfast. I brought some of the goodies from your hometown back here.”

Xia Ling could only lie helplessly as Li Lei smothered her with kisses.

When he finally got enough of kissing her, she was covered with red marks all over her body. Li Lei surveyed his masterpiece gleefully. Hmph… how could that little rascal Shaohui think that he could steal Xiao Ling from him?

Li Lei proudly dressed up and went to the kitchen.

Xia Ling dressed as well, feeling sore all over. She suddenly thought of something and asked, “When exactly is the date for our engagement?”

“Take a guess.” Li Lei playfully responded.

Xia Ling blew up again. “All of you are big bullies! I’m sleeping with Shaohui tonight!”

Li Lei was taken aback. “No, don’t!” He unwillingly told her the date. “Brother’s the one who chose the date, saying that we’ll definitely grow old together.”

The words “grow old together” quashed her anger.

So romantic…

Her heart softened at the thought of being able to spend the rest of her life with Li Lei. Her one wish in this life was to be happy and safe with him. After going through so many trials, growing old together was the reward that they obtained with great difficulty. “What do I need to prepare?” She asked.

Li Lei smiled. “You? You just need to have a few more days of beauty sleep and take care of your health so that you’ll be the most beautiful bride on the big day!”

“I don’t have to prepare anything else?”

“Oh, there is something…” Li Lei replied. “According to custom, you need to buy me a set of new clothes to be worn during the engagement ceremony. I’ll also buy you a few new wedding gowns.” In a normal household, there would usually be a lot of discussion on the costs of the suits and gowns. However, for wealthy families like the Lis and Xias, these were like spare change.

Xia Ling said, “Oh, that’s easy! Just buying new clothes, right?” Yet, she caught herself almost immediately. Wait, had she ever bought Li Lei clothes? What was his size? He seemed to have lost weight… did his size change?

She looked over at him and sheepishly asked, “What… what size are you wearing now?”

Oh my God, she really didn’t know.

Hearing her question, Li Lei felt upset. “You don’t know my size?! Even if I don’t tell you, can’t you guess after touching me so many times?!” As he spoke, he pulled her hand onto his body.

Xia Ling’s face turned red as her fingers came in contact with his muscular body.

“Stop trying to be a gangster!” She scolded as she tried to extract her hand from his grip. However, it was to no avail. He was moving her hand from his chest down to his waist.

“What gangster?” Li Lei retorted angrily. “I totally guessed your size after feeling you up! I was spot on even a few years back. You’ve been with me for so long and you have no idea?!”

This…

This conversation sounded all wrong… it seemed to be moving in a direction that would put her at a grave disadvantage.

With her face still red, Xia Ling recalled the first time that she had stayed in Li Lei’s apartment. He had given her a once over and accurately guessed her measurements, instructing Su Tang to buy some outfits. Recalling this, she felt that she paled in comparison to Li Lei as well. Why was it that he could tell her size from just a glance, and she couldn’t tell his after looking at him all these years?!
