Chapter 657: Chapter 287: Yan Ning’s Bedroom...
As they reached the third-floor corridor, Yan Ning suddenly turned back, casting a shy and playful glance at Zhang Jingdong: "I knew you’d try to take every inch today!"
Zhang Jingdong pouted: "I really didn’t intend to push my luck, but since both of them know about us now and have acknowledged me as your fiancé, you ought to give me some reward, right?"
"I swear, I’m just going to take a simple look at your private room today to fulfill my long-standing wish. I promise I won’t do anything to you!"
Upon hearing the last sentence, Yan Ning breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"You said it, so you must keep your word!"
Zhang Jingdong knew that hesitation was not an option now, so he raised three fingers: "I swear!"
But Yan Ning was not an average girl; she realized Zhang Jingdong was playing for time and bit her lip before saying seriously: "It’s already late today, and if you... Ranran will surely get suspicious!"
However, Zhang Jingdong’s intelligence at this moment was nearly on par with Einstein’s: "I know, so I’ll just peek for a few minutes at most..."
Seeing Yan Ning was still somewhat hesitant, he calmly said, "If you delay any longer, Ranran might really start to imagine things!"
Yan Ning secretly exhaled at this moment and then slowly nodded: "...Let’s go."
Saying that, she went forward and gently opened her bedroom door.
Zhang Jingdong felt a burst of delight inside and followed her in.
Yan Ning’s room was large, at least 80 square meters, with top-quality wool carpets covering the floor.
On the spacious balcony, there was a pretty single sofa and a wine table, next to an old but undeniably top-class antique vinyl record player.
In the center was a bed that looked incredibly comfortable, and on the opposite wall was a huge movie screen.
The whole room was luxuriously decorated with a very high level of beauty.
It was naturally the first time Yan Ning had brought a man into her private room.
Although she had already confirmed her relationship with Zhang Jingdong and was close to going further, she still felt a little shy.
So due to her shyness and to prevent Zhang Jingdong from not keeping his promise, she couldn’t help but say within a minute after he started looking: "That’s enough, we..."
Zhang Jingdong interrupted her with curiosity: "You actually have such a good record player here..."
Saying that, he deftly took off his shoes and quickly walked over to take a closer look.
Though a bit flustered, Yan Ning had no choice but to take off her shoes and follow him.
Zhang Jingdong praised: "This record player is simply amazing... Do you have Cai Qin’s vinyl records here?"
Yan Ning knew this guy was stalling, but she also knew he truly loved music.
Upon hearing his wish to listen to Cai Qin, and since she too enjoyed listening to Cai Qin’s vinyl records in the evenings,
she felt a kindred spirit and surprisingly nodded: "Yes!"
Zhang Jingdong saw she nearly consented and then said: "Before leaving, let me listen to one of her songs... The one from ’Infernal Affairs’, ’Time Forgotten’."
Yan Ning knew she couldn’t refuse anymore, so she efficiently found Cai Qin’s record and played it.
Soon, the vast room began to reverberate with Cai Qin’s heavenly singing:
Who’s knocking on my window
Who’s plucking the strings
That forgotten time
Gradually resurfaces from the depths of my heart
...
The reason music has existed for thousands of years, and why those top-tier singers receive global adoration, is because some superb songs can instantly resonate with people, offering the ultimate enjoyment of beauty.
Moreover, music immerses people in a wonderful atmosphere, compelling them to do things beyond their control.
In Zhang Yu’s song ’Moon’s Fault’, there’s a line, ’I admit it’s all the moon’s fault, such beautiful nightscape made you so gentle.’
At this moment, it was Cai Qin’s singing fault, her voice was too touching, and Yan Ning before him was stunningly beautiful and gentle.
Thus, as Zhang Jingdong listened, he couldn’t restrain himself, gently drew her closer, and kissed her.
Yan Ning was clearly moved at this moment, not only did she not refuse, she even actively wrapped his waist.
Zhang Jingdong’s passion ignited instantly, but just as he planned to go all out, there was a sudden ’click,’ and the music stopped abruptly!
Yan Ning also snapped back to her senses immediately, instinctively blocking Zhang Jingdong with her hands.
"We... should head downstairs!"
Zhang Jingdong gazed at Yan Ning, knowing if he insisted on continuing, she probably wouldn’t stop him, but it wouldn’t be perfect.
So he lovingly kissed Yan Ning before letting her go.
"...All right, I’ll keep my word."
Yan Ning was relieved when she saw Zhang Jingdong being so obedient.
She looked up to meet his gaze, giving him an understanding look.
Then they quickly tidied up, left the bedroom together, and went downstairs.
Zhang Jingdong turned to Yan Ran and said: "Ranran, I’m leaving now, I’ll come see you another day."
Yan Ran was somewhat happy yet reluctant: "Mm... Goodbye, fiancé!"
Zhang Jingdong felt a sense of ease and openly held Yan Ning’s hand as they left.
The night scenery was beautiful, the starry sky splendid, the moon bright.
The two reached the villa entrance, kissed for a while, and then embraced each other.
Since Long Yue was still in the car, they couldn’t go to the car this time.
Yan Ning sighed with emotion at this moment: "Everything today happened so unexpectedly, but didn’t expect it to end perfectly."
