Reborn as His Intellectually Disabled Wife-Chapter 727 - 728: Flirting Techniques (14)

But in the end, he gently pushed her away.

Gao Lian sat up, somewhat annoyed, as he ruffled his hair and said, "I..."

Dongfang Xuanya watched his conflicted little expression and chuckled softly. Propping her head with one hand, she lay on her side watching him with a smile on her face, "What do you want to say?"

Gao Lian felt somewhat flush under her gaze.

Pulling a blanket from the side to cover himself, Gao Lian took a deep breath and said, "I..."

"Shh," Dongfang Xuanya placed a finger on her lips and suddenly raised her toes, sliding them up his shin, "I know what you want to say."

Dongfang Xuanya’s toes were even softer than her fingertips.

Gao Lian distinctly felt her feet gliding up from his shin, continuously traveling higher, like a seductive, sinuous snake, stealthily climbing to his sensitive spots.

Tension swept through his body once again, and Gao Lian’s face warmed as he promptly grasped her foot and asked, "What do I want to say?"

Seeing him pick up the conversation, Dongfang Xuanya’s playful spirit surged. She leaned toward him, draped an arm over his shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "We could develop a long-term relationship..."

What did ’developing a long-term relationship’ mean?

Gao Lian had always struggled with literacy since he was young, and at that moment his mind simply froze.

Was ’developing a long-term relationship’ what he imagined it to be?

Seeing him quiet down, Dongfang Xuanya laughed joyfully, hooked her arm around his neck, and snuggled closer, "How can you be so adorable? Say something~"

"What kind of relationship is a ’long-term relationship’?" Gao Lian still couldn’t look her straight in the face.

She was too beautiful.

Her skin was as white as porcelain, her eyes large and expressive.

Her personality was cheerful—it was clear that she had grown up abroad, and she was very open-minded about intimate matters.

But still, Gao Lian couldn’t bring himself to add another label to her, one that said she was a rich girl, his classmate Shi Mei, and his own.

They were people from two entirely different worlds.

Yet, what was done was done, and as a man, he couldn’t pretend as if nothing had happened.

Dongfang Xuanya gazed at Gao Lian’s face, growing fonder the longer she looked, and couldn’t help but lean in for a kiss, "It’s a long-term friends with benefits relationship."

Friends with benefits?

Gao Lian blurted out almost instinctively, "Impossible!"

Dongfang Xuanya hadn’t expected Gao Lian to be so definitive and paused, then incredulously, "Why?"

Gao Lian’s expression turned grim, and he looked away, saying, "There’s no why, it’s just impossible."

Gao Lian felt that he was actually quite a traditional person.

He had only ever had one girlfriend, and she had left him when she chose to become a police officer.

Since then, he hadn’t dated anyone for ten years, not to mention soliciting prostitutes, he hadn’t even tried to hook up.

It wasn’t about maintaining a chaste reputation, but if there wasn’t a legitimate reason, any relationship felt irresponsible to both himself and the other person.

Of course, today was an exception.

Dongfang Xuanya, dissatisfied with his response, asked, "Why? Am I not sexy?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Lian unconsciously glanced over her body.

Dongfang Xuanya’s skin was white and tender, marked with faint traces from the intensity of what had just passed, but these only added to an attractive force that beckoned for invasion, for deeper exploration.

How could such a woman not be sexy?
