Marriage First, True Love Later Novel - Chapter 36: Erotic Lingerie

By April, the weather has begun to grow warm. Spring’s footsteps grew more distant, little by little, while summer started approaching quietly.

By the time she returned to Su Yicheng’s apartment after sending Lin Li back home, it was already past 10 o’clock. She opened the door and entered the dark living room. Then, she turned on the light and carried the things in her hands toward the master bedroom.

After spending a night out shopping with Lin Li, Anran felt a little uncomfortable at the moment and didn’t bother sorting out what she had just bought. She opened the closet to take out her pajamas and prepared to head toward the bathroom.

But the moment Anran stepped into the bathroom, the door opened, and Su Yicheng stepped in with a briefcase in his hands. His hair was a little disheveled, and his clothes were slightly wrinkled.

“You’re b-back.” Anran stared at him blankly. She remembered him saying in the morning that he might not return tonight.

Su Suchengi nodded and placed the briefcase in his hand on top of the closet. “Things went smoothly.” Seeing her dressed in a suit, he asked, “You just returned?”

Anran nodded and confessed, “I had dinner with Lin Li, and then we did a little shopping along the way.” Seeing him take off his coat and clothes, Anran hurriedly stepped away from the bathroom to make room for him and said, “Are you going to take a shower? Y-you wash first.”

Su Yicheng smiled at her, took out his pajamas from the closet, and said, “No, you can go in and wash first. I’ll use the bathroom outside.” As he said this, he took his change of clothes and headed straight out.

Anran stared at the door blankly for a moment, then snapped back to reality and turned around to head into the bathroom.

After Su Yicheng had finished taking a shower and returned to the master bedroom, Anran hadn’t come out yet. He saw the two paper bags on the bed and, out of curiosity, took one of them and peeked inside. When he saw what was inside, his face turned slightly red, and he immediately placed the bag back in its original position, but there was still a flustered expression on his face.

Su Yicheng didn’t expect the bag to contain Anran’s bra, and he felt strange holding it.

“Ah!” Suddenly, Anran let out a yelp in the bathroom.

……

Su Yicheng turned toward the bathroom, knocked on the bathroom door as he stood outside, and asked, “Anran, what happened?”

Uh … nothing. It’s okay.” Anran’s voice rang from the bathroom, and from her tone it sounded like nothing was wrong, indeed.

However, the scream just now was real. Su Yicheng felt a little uneasy. “Anran, open the door.”

“Wait, wait, I-I’m not ready yet.” In the bathroom, Anran wrapped herself in a towel and glared at her wet pajamas helplessly. She didn’t know when she accidentally knocked over the pajamas hanging on the shelf, and only after stepping out of the shower did she see that her pajamas had fallen to the ground, but by then they were already soaked.

Obviously, she could no longer wear these pajamas, but what would she wear tonight? Suddenly, she thought of the wedding gift Lin Li had just bought for her in the shopping mall. At that moment, Anran was truly impressed and grateful for Lin Li’s foresight. The camisole nightgown was slightly sexier and more revealing but nonetheless was still relatively conservative. But it was outside of the bathroom, so the problem was how to bring it inside so she could change into it.

“Anran?” Su Yicheng’s voice came from the door again.

“Um, um.” Wrapping her body in the towel tightly, Anran opened her mouth and muttered, “S-Su Yicheng, could you bring me the nightgown on my bed? I-I accidentally dropped my pajamas into the water.”

“All right.” Su Yicheng was relieved when he heard that she was really okay. He ignored the bag with the bra, picked up the other one, and reached for the clothing inside. As he took the clothing out of the bag, something fell out of the clothing and dropped beside his feet.

He bent over and picked up the box, but when he saw the words written on that box, his eyes widened. The box had the word “Jissbon” written on it! Turning his head toward the closed bathroom door, Su Yicheng felt uneasy.

He unfolded the nightgown in his hand, but as soon as he saw its form, Su Yicheng suddenly felt as if his entire person was on fire, as if a warm current was circulating throughout his body. He started experiencing shortness of breath, and, as he pictured Anran stepping out of the bathroom in this nightgown, his body grew hotter.

Anran clutched the towel tightly and leaned against the door of the bathroom. She waited and waited, but there still wasn’t any movement outside. She thought it was because he couldn’t find the nightgown, so she yelled, “S-Su Yicheng? Are you having trouble finding it?” It really didn’t make much sense for him to have trouble finding it because it was right there on the bed and should have been easily spottable.

Outside the door, Su Yicheng came back to his senses and coughed a little. He clutched the nightgown tightly and walked toward the bathroom. “H-here, I’ve found it.”

“Th-then, please pass it to me.” Anran grasped the towel tightly with one hand and gently opened the bathroom door with the other hand, and she stretched out her hand from the tiny crack she left open.

Su Yicheng handed the sheer nightgown to her, but he didn’t immediately release his hands. He asked in a hoarse voice, “Are you sure you want to wear this?” He spoke very slowly.

Anran grabbed the nightgown and stared at him blankly, and she couldn’t quite understand the meaning of his question, so she said a bit sheepishly, “I-I-I just dropped my pajamas into the water, and they’re soaked. ”

Su Sucheng stared into her innocent eyes. After taking a shower, her face appeared pink and fresh, like freshly picked peaches. At the moment, she appeared especially seductive. He felt somewhere on his body grow stiff, and he let go of the nightgown then turned his back sharply.

Anran didn’t think much of it and grabbed the nightgown, then shut the bathroom door tightly. As Anran unfolded out the nightgown and prepared to change into it, she was instantly dumbstruck when she got a closer look. This nightgown was completely different from the one Lin Li had shown her. Besides the color, this nightgown had nothing in common with Lin Li’s slip. It had thin straps, a soft tulle underneath, and was loose and sheer. The matching set was not pajama pants. It had a thin thread that passed through two sheer cloths, and could barely cover any of her body parts.

At that moment, she suddenly understood what Su Yicheng meant when he asked her that question! Her face burned, and Anran felt overwhelmed with embarrassment.

By God! Anran could barely suppress the urge to dig a hole to hide in from shame! She had no idea how to face him!

In the bathroom, Anran secretly cursed Lin Li and wondered what she did to deserve such treatment from her, especially since she spent all evening tending to her by inviting her to eat and drink and chauffeuring her around town. That mischievous girl has really given her trouble this time!

Looking at the erotic lingerie in her hands, and then at the wet pajamas lying on the ground, Anran felt like weeping but couldn’t shed a tear.
