After making sure that her man had satisfied himself properly for the first time tonight, she then laid her head on one of his thighs, taking in his masculine scent before stepping back and looking at him properly.
Huang Shi, who suddenly ached for the loss of physical intimacy, wanted to reach out to her and force her to stay, and yet he hesitated when he remembered the awkward situation.
Alright, I should probably wait for her response to my query.
Li Mei stared into his eyes, her expression flickering between doting motherly love and the possessive jealousy of being his lover.
Finally, Li Mei seemed to gather enough courage to finally speak her thoughts as she opened her mouth and spoke.
"I'm fine with you having other women; in fact, I'm happy for it. You've always been led around by those… uncivilized women… so seeing it the other way around—them scrambling for attention at your feet—makes me happy as the person who raised you all this time."
Huang Shi was shocked; he did not expect his beloved to be so openly supportive of him having other women. In fact, she seemed to even encourage it.
Is this some sort of trap?
Huang Shi actively chose to remain silent, waiting for her to continue speaking, trying to see if there was some sort of catch.
Li Mei's eyes flickered down into the water, as her soft and delicate arms suddenly wrapped themselves around her beautiful body, as if she was trying to find some level of warmth, stability, or safety even.
"But Shi'er, once you have all those other girls, younger and prettier than me, will you leave me?"
When Huang Shi saw this scene, his eyes trembled as if he was electrocuted.
Without even thinking about it, he quickly got back into the warm waters and wrapped his arms around Li Mei, forcing her eyes to look back at his.
"Li Mei, are you trying to get away from me? I am a very possessive and vindictive lover; you are mine and will be mine for the rest of your life. You are stuck with me whether you like it or not!"
Li Mei's eyes shook as her arms slowly wrapped around him, before tears started to drop from her face.
"But what if you change? You might like me right now, but what if you get tired of me? You didn't even tell me about that other girl."
Huang Shi's expression slightly flickered as his thoughts went into overdrive, as he finally found the core of his mother's current insecurity.
She's definitely scared that I'll leave her, but more than that, she's scared some other girl will take her place in my heart.
What she needs is security; she wants to know that even if I have other women in the future, her place in my heart will never change.
This also includes knowing about any future girls that I want to pursue in the future, most likely because she knows that I can't openly be with her—unlike with them—because of the nature of our relationship.
After thinking for a couple of seconds, he once again gave his lover a soft kiss on the lips before looking deeply into her eyes, his forehead resting on hers.
"I'm sorry, mother. I will tell you about my other women in the future, and just to make it clear…"
One of his hands softly laid on her soft cheeks, drawing tiny circles with his thumb and holding her jaw in place, forcing her to look up at him.
"I love you; in fact, I am probably addicted to you. Even if you somehow want to back off and end this relationship in the future, I will never agree. You are mine from now and forever—do you understand?"
Li Mei's tears once again burst from her eye sockets as she tried to wipe them off her face, but she couldn't because Huang Shi literally forced her to stay in place, waiting for her to respond.
Li Mei finally seemed to take control of her emotions as she stared at his eyes, trying to find any semblance of falsehoods within, but she failed.
The way her lover's eyes stared softly into hers, his soft kisses, and his territorial and possessive nature towards her all pointed towards the conclusion that he meant every word he said and so she replied with deep emotion in her voice.
"I love you. I love you more than you could ever know; I love you more than anything in this world. Just don't leave me, and I will give you everything you have ever wanted and more..."
[Li Mei Affection 200/100]
[Congratulations, Host, on your first bond of true love]
[As a reward, the Wheel of Fortune will be opened and shall give a gift towards your first woman]
[Would you like to spin the wheel now?]
Despite the notification from the system, Huang Shi ignored it, as seeing the look of vulnerability and profession of love from his beloved somehow made his blood boil as his rod once again stood stiff at attention.
Li Mei, on the other hand, also seemed to notice his predicament as her pupils flashed with a hint of amusement before once again giving his hard shaft a soft grip with her dainty hands.
"It seems my Shi'er finds my declaration of love arousing. What should mother do about it?"
Huang Shi's eyes burned with both lust and love as he stared at his lover's immaculately beautiful face as if he was entranced, before lifting her out of the water. She gave a slight shriek before quickly wrapping her legs around his torso.
"You will be satisfying my lust for tonight, Mei'er. I hope you're prepared..."
Hearing the words coming from his lover made her smile as she kissed his neck and softly replied, "I always satisfy your lust, but it always seems to come back. Do you never get tired?"
Huang Shi gave a smile filled with debauchery as he walked off the hot spring, carrying her in his arms, before speaking in a hushed tone.
"That is your fault for being so beautiful and delicious; I can't get enough of you."
