The CEO’s Substitute Wife Is A Genius
Chapter 209: Holding Hands and Kissing, Is That Okay?

Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Holding Hands and Kissing, Is That Okay?

Wen Rui’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the man so close at hand.

She already had a crush on him and was completely defenseless against such proximity.

Her heart suddenly pounded wildly, her blood seemed to speed up in an instant, rushing up from the soles of her feet.

Her cheeks, ears, even her neck turned red in an instant, burning fiercely.

"I... I didn’t mean to take advantage of you... If you don’t want to address each other by seniority... that’s okay too... I was just mentioning it casually..."

"Really?" Lu Zhan sounded a bit annoyed, "Do you really wish to be my elder?"

"No... no way..." Wen Rui panicked, wanting to dodge away.

She swore that the fleeting thought was just an instinctive reaction from her brain.

Now, upon careful reflection, she also felt it was inappropriate.

Would it be odd for them to interact if they addressed each other by their seniority?

If Lu Zhan were to treat her with such deference in the future, wouldn’t she find it awkward?

"Wen, Rui!" Lu Zhan called out her name, enunciating each syllable forcefully and clearly.

"Ah?" Wen Rui exclaimed, her nerves tensing, "Lu Zhan, you seem angry?"

But why was he angry?

Lu Zhan, not knowing where the sudden strength came from, suddenly grasped Wen Rui’s wrist, interlocking their fingers, and pressed her arms against the car wall.

Before Wen Rui could react, he lowered his head, captured her lips dominantly and forcefully, and kissed her deeply.

Wen Rui was too stunned to even close her eyes throughout the entire process.

She inhaled the pleasant scent of his cologne, looking at his face as it drew impossibly close.

The moment their breaths mingled, she suddenly held her breath.

His forceful kiss made her feel like she was about to suffocate, her lungs about to burst.

When he moved his lips away, she still didn’t dare to breathe deeply, only allowing herself to exhale lightly through her nose.

"Lu... Lu Zhan... what you just..."

Wen Rui’s mind was thundering as if it had been bombed, her ears ringing, her whole world spinning.

"Wen Rui, do you really want me to call you ’little aunt’?"

"I didn’t... it’s not like that..." Wen Rui bit her lip, "I was just saying it off the cuff."

"Then instead of ’little aunt,’ how about I call you ’wife’?"

"Ah? What?" Wen Rui thought she was hallucinating due to the ringing in her ears.

Lu Zhan didn’t rush to respond, instead leaning in closer once more.

Wen Rui, trapped with nowhere to go, could only lean against the glass window, too nervous to move.

"Lu Zhan... the window is open... if journalists catch us... the company has rules against dating... umm..."

At that moment, Lu Zhan wanted to hear nothing, his reason still intact, but he did not want it.

"To hell with company rules!"

This time, the kiss was more ferocious, biting down on her lips.

Wen Rui opened her mouth in pain.

And the man took the opportunity to deepen the kiss.

Wen Rui was bewildered, kissed until her head spun and her body went limp.

Her reason slowly crumbled away, sinking into the heat of their kiss, slowly closing her eyes.

This was her first kiss.

She had fantasized many times about kissing a man, even thinking she might have a shotgun wedding and give her first kiss only to her future husband.

"Lu Zhan... don’t..."

As the kiss continued, Wen Rui grew frightened.

Raised in the countryside, she was taught traditional values from a young age.

Her mother had instructed her, do not be reckless before marriage, otherwise no one would marry her.

Lu Zhan heard the pitiful sound in her voice, and his reason returned.

Letting her go, he immediately felt remorseful, "Sorry, what I just did... was really lousy!"

Wen Rui bit her lip tightly, lifting her eyes, which were like those of a fawn—full of grievance yet filled with joy.

She liked Lu Zhan, and had not expected that Lu Zhan liked her too!

"Zhan... this is so sudden, I’m not mentally prepared..."

She lowered her head shyly, "I’ve never dated anyone before, not even held hands with the opposite sex."

When Lu Zhan heard this, his eyes widened in ecstasy, but he quickly started to feel even more guilty.

His actions just now were too rogue-like; he probably scared the poor girl, right?

"I’m not a frivolous person," he hurriedly explained. "I felt annoyed when you wanted to act as an elder in front of me."

"Mmh," Wen Rui bit her lip and said nothing, her cheeks were bright red as if about to bleed.

In the entertainment industry, Lu Zhan had encountered all sorts of people of the opposite sex, but he had never met a girl as pure and innocent as Wen Rui.

Because she was special, she rapidly attracted him, and he couldn’t help wanting to get closer.

"My mother says a girl should keep her virginity, or she won’t be able to get married later."

At her words, Lu Zhan was momentarily taken aback.

He quickly regained his composure, gently stroking her head. "Don’t worry, I won’t go that far without your consent."

He paused, his eyes intense, like a pitiful puppy. "But what about holding hands or kissing, is that also not okay?"

"That’s okay..." Wen Rui nodded, her face turning an even deeper shade of red after speaking.

Lu Zhan, encouraged by her words,

"Can I kiss you once more, then? This time with the curtains drawn."

"Mm..." Wen Rui continued to nod, her head hanging low.

She looked so obedient and pitiable.

Especially with her current look, which added a touch of allure, he found himself utterly defenseless.

"There’s a bed over there, would sitting and kissing be okay?"

"Mm." Wen Rui replied softly, walking over with shy, tentative steps.

Lu Zhan then drew the curtains of all the windows.

With the curtains drawn, the RV became an enclosed space, instantly giving a sense of security.

Wen Rui sat on the edge of the bed, nervously fidgeting with the bedding.

Lu Zhan didn’t rush to kiss her but instead tidied the stray hairs by her ears, tucking the ink-like strands behind her ear.

He leaned in toward her earlobe and gently bit it.

Wen Rui let out a muffled groan, her entire body tensing up.

"Wen Rui, I have feelings for you, I like you. Do you dare to date me?"

Lu Zhan spoke in a low voice, husky with a hint of brooding desire.

"If the company finds out, we would have to pay a huge compensation fee. Are you scared?"

"I’m not scared!" Wen Rui looked up, her reply firm.

Her brows furrowed tightly. "Then when can we freely date?"

"For newcomers, there’s a probation period. As for me, there’s still half a year left."

After all, he was the young master of the Lu family; the company couldn’t impose too many restrictions.

Even if he announced a relationship at the peak of his popularity, the company wouldn’t dare say much.

Wen Rui, on the other hand, was more of a concern. As a contracted newcomer, the company had its grooming costs, so they enforced a rule that these newcomers could not publically announce a relationship for at least three years.

In other words, fans couldn’t know about the relationship, but dating in secret was possible.

If one were found out by the paparazzi and the news leaked, then a hefty penalty fee for breaching the contract would be due.

"You’re still young, with a great future ahead of you," Lu Zhan said while massaging her earlobe. "Do you mind if we start dating now and wait until your contract is over to get married?"

"Huh?" Wen Rui was stunned, not knowing how to respond, looking utterly dumbfounded.

A relationship with marriage in mind?

"Zhan, have you already set your heart on me? There are so many beautiful actresses in the circle, and many wealthy heiresses. Won’t you meet more people?"

"It’s because I’ve met so many that I’m sure about you," Lu Zhan’s fingertips lightly brushed her cheek. "How about it? With me as your first and last man, only interacting with this one man for life, are you willing?"
