Swimsuits

Lu Yan looked at her, somewhat amused and exasperated. "You... just for a vacation, you booked the entire hot spring resort? How much did that cost?"

Although he knew that this amount of money was probably nothing to Aemeath, this domineering CEO-style booking still felt somewhat unreal to him.

"Hmph, what's a little money?"

Aemeath snuggled back into Lu Yan's arms, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, her cheek pressed against his chest, her voice muffled, revealing a strong sense of possessiveness.

I don't want to share you with anyone else.

Aemeath looked up, her eyes sparkling with a sickly yet incredibly sweet emotion, "A-Yan is so handsome, so charming."

"If there are other women on the beach, they'll definitely stare at you. Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable."

She paused, then added softly:

"Besides, I'm going to wear a swimsuit for you too. Whether it's you being seen by others, or me being seen in a swimsuit by others, it's absolutely unforgivable. After all..."

Aemeath kissed Lu Yan deeply on the lips. "Mwah~ I'm yours, you're mine, you can only be mine."

Hearing this undisguised statement about favoring daughters, wasn't this the kind of unconditional pampering he craved most?

"Okay, it's all yours. From head to toe, even your soul." Lu Yan smiled and hugged her tightly, lowering his head to place a kiss on her forehead.

Upon hearing Lu Yan's answer, Aemeath squinted her eyes in satisfaction, looking like a kitten that had just been stroked and felt comfortable.

"Now that the issue of booking the entire venue is resolved, there's one more crucial thing we need to do!" Aemeath suddenly broke free from Lu Yan.

"What's up?"

"Of course, we're going to buy swimsuits!"

Aemeath stood with her hands behind her back, tilting her head slightly as she looked at Lu Yan with a hint of anticipation on her face.

"Although I have a lot of clothes in my closet, I don't think I've ever bought a swimsuit yet."

"You have to come with me the whole time I go shopping, and you absolutely have to pick out the items for me yourself!"

She stepped forward, took Lu Yan's hand, shook it gently, and lowered her voice, speaking in an ambiguous whisper that only the two of them could hear:

"After all... that was only worn for you to see."

"Does A-Yan prefer a cute onesie... or one of those bikinis with very little fabric?"

Lu Yan's breath hitched, and various blood-pumping images uncontrollably surfaced in his mind.

He looked at Aemeath, who perfectly blended innocence and allure, took a deep breath, and tightly grasped her small hand in his own.

"Since it's only for me to see..." Lu Yan's lips curled into a dangerous smile, "Then later in the fitting room, you're not allowed to complain that the styles I picked are too daring."

Aemeath paused for a moment, then two blushes rose on her face, but she proudly puffed out her chest.

"What am I afraid of? Let's go! Let's sweep the entire swimwear section of the mall clean!"

The two changed their clothes and headed to the mall. The mid-June sun had lost the gentle warmth of early summer, and the midsummer sun was scorching and intense.

The streets were shrouded in a faint heat, but the largest shopping mall in the city maintained a cool temperature of 22 degrees Celsius.

Lu Yan led Aemeath by the hand through a gleaming marble corridor and headed straight for the custom swimwear section on the third floor of the mall.

Today, Aemeath wore a very simple white slip dress with a light sun-protective cardigan over it so she could easily try on clothes.

Even with such an unassuming attire, her breathtakingly beautiful face and flowing pink hair still drew attention when she walked beside Lu Yan.

Lu Yan's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

He reached out and wrapped his arm around Aemeath's waist, pulling her closer to him, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Aemeath felt the warmth and possessiveness emanating from her waist. Although it was hot, she did not resist. Her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. She leaned softly into Lu Yan's arms.

The two entered a high-end swimwear boutique called Siren's Kiss.

Aemeath had already booked VIP service. As soon as they entered, the impeccably dressed store manager immediately greeted them and respectfully guided them to the deepest part of the room, a huge VIP exclusive fitting suite that occupied dozens of square meters.

"Mr. Lu, Miss Ai, these are all our new seasonal lookbooks, as well as several globally limited edition sample garments, which are already hanging on the hangers for you."

With a professional smile, the store manager pointed to a row of exquisite swimwear and said, "If Miss Ai would like to try them on, I can provide you with professional assistance with styling and size adjustments..."

"No."

Before Aemeath could speak, Lu Yan interrupted the shopkeeper.

His voice was gentle and calm, yet carried a resolute tone. "I'll help her with all the fittings. No one is allowed near this fitting room without my permission. If needed, we'll ring the bell to call you."

The store manager paused for a moment, then immediately understood, smiling and giving a slight bow, "Okay, Mr. Lu. I'll wait outside then. Enjoy your shopping!"

After saying that, the shop manager left and considerately closed the heavy, carved solid wood door for them.

A soft "click" sounded.

Lu Yan stepped forward, locked the door, and also set a metal deadbolt.

With the final latch snapped shut, the spacious suite was transformed into a completely secluded private fortress.

The noise from the outside world was perfectly shut out by the heavy solid wood doors, leaving only the gentle hum of the central air conditioning and the rich scent of roses in the air.

Lu Yan slowly turned around, his deep golden eyes flashing with a dangerous glint under the light.

He swept past rows of swimsuits with barely any fabric, finally fixing his gaze on Aemeath's fair collarbone.

The possessiveness that was so carefully restrained in the shopping mall finally shed its gentle disguise and spread unchecked.

"A-Yan..."

Aemeath watched Lu Yan's series of fluid and graceful lock-locking movements, her eyes gleamed with a mixture of excitement and fascination.

I love A-Yan's undisguised protectiveness.

"I thought you'd be shy, but I didn't expect you to just kick the manager out," Aemeath teased as she took off her sun-protective shirt.

Lu Yan crossed his legs, casually rested his hands on his knees, gazed intently at the beautiful scenery before him, and smiled calmly.

"Shy? Why should I be shy? Watching my lover try on clothes is my privilege."

Lu Yan spoke with utter nonchalance, pointing to the few scantily clad swimsuits on the rack beside him. "This view is for me alone. No one outside is allowed even the slightest chance to see it."

This domineering statement struck Aemeath's heart, which yearned to be possessed by him.

"Okay~ my little butler~" Aemeath replied sweetly, turning to walk towards the row of coat racks.
