With My Profound Love, I Offer to the Years

Chapter 29

Hearing the driver's kind blessings, Shen Nian hooked her lips. She couldn't deny that the driver's words touched her deeply - this was the kind of life she had been dreaming of, including now, with Lu Lingchuan.

She really couldn't bear to reject such a beautiful blessing. She smiled at the driver and said, "Thank you, uncle."

When they arrived, the car stopped at the entrance of the community.

"39 yuan. I'll take 30 for bringing you lovebirds together - it must be fate."

"Thank you, uncle," Shen Nian took out 30 yuan in change from her bag and handed it to the driver. She then opened the car door and got out first before carefully helping Lu Lingchuan out.

Fortunately, Lu Lingchuan was very cooperative. Shen Nian didn't have to use too much effort to support him.

The security guard at the community entrance recognized Shen Nian and greeted her, then helped to open the door.

Supporting Lu Lingchuan, they successfully entered the community, walked into the building, took the elevator and safely returned home.

Shen Nian brought Lu Lingchuan into the bedroom and put him on the big bed. She hadn't stopped the whole way and was panting heavily. Although she wasn't drunk, she had drank quite a bit and her mind felt dizzy.

She stood there catching her breath for a good while before taking off Lu Lingchuan's shoes and helping him out of his suit jacket and loosening his tie. She was about to grab the nearby blanket to cover him when the sleeping man suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Before Shen Nian could react, her body was already out of control, falling heavily onto the man.

Just as Shen Nian was about to get up, everything spun and when she regained her senses, she was already being firmly pressed down by Lu Lingchuan.

"Lu..."

Shen Nian was about to call out to him but the man didn't give her a chance to speak. He forcefully blocked her lips.

One hand was tangled in her hair, cradling the back of her head, while the other hand encircled her waist. He kissed her desperately like he couldn't get enough.

Easily parting her lips, he frantically sipped at the sweetness that belonged only to her, tracing every detail. Lu Lingchuan kissed her deeply and lingeringly. Without having to restrain himself like when awake, he revealed his truest self in his drunken state.

He embraced her in his arms.

After who knows how long, Lu Lingchuan reluctantly let go. Shen Nian finally regained her freedom and took big gulps of air.

The man buried his head at her neck, his lips brushing past her earlobe.

"I'm going to see Lawyer Xu..."

He suddenly spoke, his voice still holding traces of drunkenness.

It was as if he was talking to Shen Nian, yet also murmuring to himself.

Shen Nian quietly listened to his soft mumblings.

"Shen Nian..."

He started calling out her name again.

"Shen Nian..."

Shen Nian didn't struggle. She just stared at him blankly, watching him.

He really was drunk.

In order to secure the project today, he had drank like water.

Like a child without any sense of security, he kept calling out Shen Nian's name. Only by embracing her could he obtain that scarce sense of security.

Shen Nian, Shen Nian...

"I'm here," not knowing how many times she had heard him call out to her, Shen Nian finally responded.

Shen Nian.

I'm here.

What would he say next?

Shen Nian waited for his answer, but the man only silently moved his lips.

"What?"

Shen Nian couldn't hear what he was saying. The room lights weren't switched on and she couldn't even make out the shape of his lips.

But in the next moment, the man once again blocked her lips, even more forcefully than before.

Shen Nian just lay there, unable to evade or escape. Like prey lying on a chopping block, she could only let him have his way.

The surroundings were very quiet without a hint of sound. Moonlight shone in through the window, spilling onto the big bed and illuminating their two figures.

After who knows how long, Shen Nian was so tired that she fell asleep. Lu Lingchuan hugged her satisfylingly in his embrace, his chin resting on top of her head and his lips moved ever so slightly once more.

The same lip shape as before.

A silent, "I love you."

...

The next day when Shen Nian woke up, it was already 11am. She touched her phone to check the time, then closed her eyes to rest a little longer before slowly getting up.

As expected, there was no sight of Lu Lingchuan.

She had booked a 10:30am flight to City W for him today. Right now he would be on the plane.

After washing up and changing into new clothes along with light makeup, Shen Nian headed to work.

As Lu Lingchuan's assistant, she normally followed him around to assist with work. Now that Lu Lingchuan was away on a business trip, she finally had a rare respite.

Lu Lingchuan had already arranged the next few days work in advance. Even with him not in the office, it was business as usual and Shen Nian worked, ate and lived her days just like normal.

And so two days passed by.

It was another afternoon and there was half an hour left till knocking-off time.

A colleague Shen Nian normally had a good relationship with, Li Nan, came by to hand in some documents. Taking the chance while Shen Nian was checking through them, she asked, "Nian Nian, are you free tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Shen Nian glanced at the calendar on the side and paused for a second before quickly regaining her composure.

She asked, "What's the matter?"

"Oh, it's not anything major," Li Nan stuck out her tongue. "Since tomorrow is Saturday, our department is having an outbound activity to do some hiking and camping. I know that other than work, all you do is go home everyday - your life is too dull! So I wanted to invite you to join our department's team building."

Shen Nian laughed and declined, "It sounds good but I happen to have something on tomorrow. Sorry, I can't make it."

"You're busy huh..." Li Nan felt it was a pity but understandable.

"It's fine, work comes first after all. If I'm free next time I'll definitely join you guys to play," Shen Nian replied.

"Okay."

After amending Li Nan's project report, it was the end of work hours.

Shen Nian packed up and clocked out. But instead of immediately going home today, she headed to a nearby florist at her company.

*ding ling ling*

As soon as she pushed open the door, she could hear the crisp sound of wind chimes, followed by the florist lady boss's gentle voice.

"Hello, what flowers are you looking for?"

Shen Nian's gaze swept over the variety of flowers before looking back at the lady boss and asking,

"Do you have sunflowers?"

"Sunflowers?" The lady boss smiled. "Our shop does have some but not many. Miss, are you looking to add them as decorations into other flower bouquets?"

"No." Shen Nian shook her head. "A whole bouquet of sunflowers."

"I'm afraid we don't have that many."

"It's fine," Shen Nian nodded and then left the shop.

She went around several other nearby flower shops but either they didn't have sunflowers or the variety wasn't to Shen Nian's liking. After wandering around fruitlessly for over two hours, she finally managed to buy what she wanted from one of the shops - a whole bouquet of sunflowers. Hugging the sunflowers happily, she headed home.

The first thing Shen Nian did when she got home was to place the sunflowers on the dining table. She took out a plant mister from the drawer, filled it with water and sprayed the sunflowers.

There were different varieties of sunflowers - fluffy teddy sunflowers, premium oil painting sunflowers. What Shen Nian chose was a refreshing lemony yellow sunflower, also known as cream sunflower.

The overall color leaned towards buttery yellow, giving off a very gentle feeling.
