Full Level Sweet Indulgence: The Big Shot Became Addicted to Me After the Announcement - Chapter 72
His gaze fixed on her red lips, his slender fingers tracing the side of her face before gradually moving to her slightly swollen mouth. He chuckled softly,
“Baby, I love you.”
A scorching kiss landed on her neck, gently rubbing against the skin.
Only when a clearly visible hickey appeared did the man let out a satisfied sigh and move on to the next scene.
The cold moonlight streamed through the window, as if it couldn’t hold on any longer, letting out a big yawn before disappearing.
The night gradually quieted down, and everything settled into silence along with it.
On set.
Su Lie, wearing a baseball cap, avoided Su Ning’s gaze, seeming guilty about something.
For several days in a row, Su Lie had been returning home very late.
After finishing her part-time job and coming home, Su Ning would just sit quietly, staring blankly at nothing, as if lost in thought or perhaps thinking of nothing at all.
No matter how much suffering she endured, life had to go on.
She still had to struggle against fate to survive.
She had no other choice.
That night, in the pitch-black darkness, Su Lie still hadn’t returned. Su Ning felt her heart racing.
She sensed that something was about to happen.
Just as Su Ning reached the doorway, a man covered in the scent of blood appeared, his face stained with blood.
Tears instantly fell from Su Ning’s eyes. She knew almost immediately what her brother had done.
“Ah Lie, come in and eat,” her voice trembled with tears, yet she only urged her brother to come inside for a meal.
He was the only family she cared about in this world.
Though his face was stained with blood, Su Lie managed a faint smile. “Okay, sis.”
During the meal, the two sat in silence.
It seemed neither knew where to begin.
After that night, they found themselves at a crossroads.
But it was merely a dead end.
They had no choice.
The only option was to part ways.
“Ah Lie, after you finish eating, go turn yourself in,” Su Ning lowered her gaze, holding back tears as she spoke softly.
Su Lie chuckled lightly, placing a hand on Su Ning’s shoulder and reassuring her, “Sis, I’m happy. Don’t be sad.”
“I finally killed those scumbags to avenge you.”
“Watching them die before my eyes, I felt nothing but relief.”
“Sis, I don’t regret it.”
The little boy had unknowingly grown into a young man, his once tender and immature face now more resolute and firm.
Yet his smile was the only genuine one he had shown in a long time.
Watching her brother walk away, Su Ning cried out, “Ah Lie, I’ll be waiting for you to come back.”
Tears finally spilled uncontrollably, falling drop by drop.
Su Ning looked up at the sky, wrapping her arms around herself, trying to find some warmth.
Why did winter seem to arrive so early this year?
Otherwise, why was she shivering so uncontrollably?
Ah Lie had said, “Sis, you have to live well.”
Ah Lie had said that she was the only one he worried about.
Ah Lie had said, “Sis, you have to wait for me to come back.”
Ah Lie had said…
Su Ning bit her lower lip, trying to stifle her sobs.
She couldn’t let her Ah Lie worry.
She had to stay strong, waiting for her Ah Lie to return.
A long while later, Su Ning wiped away her tears and stood up to go inside.
She went about her daily routine doing chores, working part-time jobs, earning money.
No one knew what she had been through, and no one cared.
She was the lowest, most insignificant ant in this world.
Not worth mentioning, not worth a second thought.
She would wait ten years, twenty years, fifty years.
Waiting for the only person in this world who could bring her warmth and hope to return.
Twenty years later, Su Ning was bent over washing clothes. She was no longer young, her face sagging from excessive toil and covered in wrinkles.
She stretched out her palm, revealing a dense network of scars.
A shocking sight.
“Sis,” a voice called from outside the door.
Su Ning’s hands paused in the laundry, then she wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and continued washing.
Over the years, she had heard that word “sis” far too many times.
Each time hope arose, it was followed by endless disappointment.
“Sis,” the voice called again.
Su Ning looked up and met Su Lie’s beaming smile.
They smiled at each other.
The scene ended.
That smile carried far too many emotions.
The road ahead was still long and difficult, but they both knew the light that belonged to each other had returned.
As long as there was light shining through, no matter how perilous the path ahead, they would face it without fear.
“Cut!”
“That’s a wrap for today. Everyone performed wonderfully.”
Immersed in her role, Li Muli sat dazed for a moment before slowly breaking into a soft, curved smile.
It felt as though she had truly lived through someone else’s life.
She felt their pain as if it were her own.
She shared in their joy as if it were her own.
She was sincerely grateful for the chance to start over.
Grateful for the opportunity to live freely and boldly for herself.
A man with long legs strode over and crouched beside her. He took a tissue and gently wiped her hands, lowering his gaze as he whispered soothingly, “You worked hard. You were amazing, baby.”
Li Muli was startled but obediently let him clean her hands. Tilting her head, her eyes curved into crescents as she asked, “When did you get here?”
“Just now.”
The sight of him, head bowed and meticulously focused, made her heart soften again and again.
Even though she was dressed in tattered clothes and wearing heavy aging makeup, Mr. Fu still treated her with the same gentle, doting affection.
Mr. Fu definitely earned extra points today.
But after thinking it over, his only flaw was… he never seemed to pity her.
When she cried and whimpered, looking pitiful, he paid no attention.
After bidding farewell to the entire crew, Fu Chenyan took the girl’s small hand and led her to the back seat of the car.
The makeup on her face was still intact.
Li Muli hooked her finger under the man’s chin, teasing and provoking him, “Do I look good when I’m old, Mr. Fu?”
Fu Chenyan grasped her small hand, enveloping it completely in his larger one, and kissed it gently. “You look beautiful, baby.”
“I still want to.”
“Pin you down.”
Li Muli: “…” Here we go again, straight onto the expressway, huh?
Fu Chenyan leaned in, one hand cupping the back of her head, the other wrapped around her waist, and kissed her softly.
Unlike the frantic kisses of the previous night, this one was filled with more tenderness and reassurance.
All his love was poured into that kiss.
“Baby, you’re still so sweet,” the man murmured, lightly licking the corner of his lips as if savoring the taste.
His voice was deep and sensual.
“Every part of you is unbearably sweet.”
His sharp, prominent Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.
“Brother, you really.”
“Make your little sister.”
“Love you no matter what.”
Li Muli’s fair, delicate fingers tapped lightly on the man’s chest. She looked sweet and soft, yet exuded a captivating allure.
That little mouth of hers, which he adored so much, spoke words that were just as enchanting.
His baby,
Seemed to be craving it again.
“What about -24?”
“What about -38?”
Li Muli caught on instantly, her beautiful eyes glaring fiercely at him as she gritted her teeth. “-62.”
“Heh.”
“Then baby better be prepared.”
“Don’t come crying and begging me later.”
Li Muli hooked her finger around the man’s tie, enunciating each word clearly, “Whoever admits defeat is a dog.”
The man clicked his tongue softly, leaned down to peck the girl’s delicate lips, and replied in a husky voice, “We’ll see about that, little Li Muli.”
He was far too eager for this.
