Yan Ruowen was exhausted and lying on the bed, completely drained by Li Xin's antics. Li Xin's fingers were still wandering over Yan Ruowen's back. Yan Ruowen felt so weak. It's understandable if she couldn't take the lead, but she shouldn't be so vulnerable.
"Li Xin, you have so much energy," Yan Ruowen groaned into the pillow, thinking about how her body melted under Li Xin's touch.
"Did you feel good just now, Wenwen? Do you want to do it again?" Li Xin asked with a suggestive tone. She always had to ask Yan Ruowen after taking care of her. In the past, Yan Ruowen would probably just give her a cold look, but now, even her ears were turning red.
Yan Ruowen sat up, her hand going straight to Li Xin's legs. She touched the damp and soft swampy area between them. Li Xin obviously didn't expect Yan Ruowen to be so direct and was momentarily caught off guard. Seizing the opportunity, Yan Ruowen flipped over, pressing Li Xin beneath her.
Li Xin met Yan Ruowen's serious and slightly heated gaze. Suddenly, Li Xin felt that Yan Ruowen was so dominant. Yan Ruowen's dominance had finally extended to the bedroom. Li Xin suddenly felt infinitely excited about what was to come. She just loved the feeling of being conquered by Yan Ruowen.
Yan Ruowen buried her face in Li Xin's ample chest, then bit down on the peak. Li Xin let out a soft cry of pain, though oddly it only made her more excited, unaware of her slight masochistic tendencies. Her legs wrapped around Yan Ruowen's waist involuntarily, bringing their bodies even closer together.
Yan Ruowen couldn't help but smirk. Li Xin was naturally passionate in bed. Yan Ruowen felt an unprecedented desire to conquer her, to make her unable to ever leave.
Li Xin looked at Yan Ruowen's expression and had a feeling that tonight would be different from before. It wasn't the passive seriousness of last time, but an active and eager seriousness. Yan Ruowen's enthusiasm made Li Xin feel her rare passion.
Yan Ruowen's seriousness had a determination and focus that most people lacked, leaving even the energetic Li Xin unable to resist. Li Xin's voice became slightly hoarse from calling out in pleasure, but Yan Ruowen ignored her pleas, continuing until Li Xin was on the verge of tears. This level of determination made Li Xin feel a mix of love and hate. She felt that being only partially satisfied was the best, allowing for sustainable development. Getting too full and feeling too bloated for days afterward was terrifying.
Conquering Li Xin made Yan Ruowen feel great, so she became even more fond of this conquest game. Sometimes, when Li Xin couldn't take it anymore, Yan Ruowen looked at her with some regret. Li Xin wanted to cry and bite the sheets each time. She had been deceived by Yan Ruowen. She used to think Yan Ruowen was a stoic type, but as soon as this woman became proactive, her seriousness was truly frightening. However, luckily, Li Xin knew Yan Ruowen's body like the back of her hand, so she wasn't completely at a disadvantage. At least sometimes, she could still save face.
"Get up, we're going out," Yan Ruowen nudged Li Xin's body.
"But let's not go out. It's the weekend today, let's just stay at home," Li Xin reached out to cuddle Yan Ruowen, acting spoiled. Both she and Yan Ruowen were very busy with work, with very little time off. She had even used her dad's connections to align her vacation time with Yan Ruowen's schedule. She wished she could stick to Yan Ruowen 24/7.
"Then you can keep sleeping, I'm going out," Yan Ruowen originally wanted Li Xin to come along, but Li Xin had worked late last night and was probably still tired. Yan Ruowen decided to wait for another time.
"Where are we going?" Li Xin hurriedly got up when she saw Yan Ruowen was determined to go out. She didn't want to be left alone at home.
"To the orphanage." Yan Ruowen visited the orphanage every two months without fail.
"Are you an orphan?" Li Xin asked Yan Ruowen cautiously in the car. She had never noticed before that Yan Ruowen was an orphan. Li Xin felt guilty, realizing she had been too careless.
"Yes, I was an orphan until the age of five, then I was adopted but sent back to the orphanage at twelve," Yan Ruowen said lightly. She didn't talk about these things with outsiders, but since she had decided to spend her life with Li Xin, Yan Ruowen was ready to let Li Xin into her past.
"Why were you sent back to the orphanage? What kind of life did you have back then?" Li Xin was curious about Yan Ruowen's past.
"For the two years from five to seven, they treated me really well, almost like their own child. But when I was seven, my foster mother, who had been unable to conceive, gave birth to my sister..." No matter how many years passed, those memories remained vivid.
"After they had their own child, they treated you differently, didn't they?" Li Xin suddenly felt angry and heartbroken. She was angry with herself for only now learning about Yan Ruowen's background. If she had known earlier, she could have treated her better.

"That's understandable." Yan Ruowen didn't blame them. Biological and adopted children are different after all. She was an orphan from the start and just returned to being an orphan. It's just that being abandoned again didn't feel good.
"Where are they now?" Li Xin asked. If she found out who they were, she would definitely go give them a piece of her mind.
"When I was twelve, their whole family immigrated and we lost contact," Yan Ruowen said expressionlessly, looking ahead.
Yan Ruowen didn't show much emotion now, but Li Xin knew she must have had a tough time during those years. Thinking about it made Li Xin's heart ache.
"Wenwen..." Li Xin called out, feeling heartbroken.
"When I was thirteen, I met Shaowen. Qian Shaowen was a kind person. He did a lot for me and found a kind couple for me, who later became my foster parents. At that time, I was like a hedgehog, but they were extremely patient and kind to me. It took me a year to slowly accept them. In the following years, they were really good to me..." When Yan Ruowen mentioned them, her expression softened noticeably, but it was also tinged with sadness.
"Where are they now?" Li Xin continued to ask.
"When I was twenty, my foster father had kidney failure and needed a kidney transplant, which required a large sum of money. My foster parents weren't wealthy, and I had just started college. I met Shaowen again, and the surgery was able to proceed. But after the surgery, my foster father's health never fully recovered. A common cold took him away, and after he passed, my foster mother's mental state deteriorated. She often seemed absent-minded, and later she also passed away in a car accident. It's like wanting to nurture but not having the chance..." Compared to other orphans, Yan Ruowen felt she was actually quite lucky. But she always regretted not being able to take better care of her foster parents.
"Wenwen, my family is your family. I will love you with a lot of love, and I will never leave you. In the future, I'll be more polite to Qian Shaowen too." Li Xin said seriously. She finally understood why Yan Ruowen treated Qian Shaowen so well lately, and why Yan Ruowen had been more attentive to her parents than to her, Li Xin. Li Xin was grateful that Qian Shaowen had been healed.
Yan Ruowen was moved by Li Xin's words. She was really afraid of being abandoned, so she always made sure to do things well and to be excellent, so she wouldn't become a burden to anyone. Yan Ruowen felt fortunate to have Li Xin fall in love with her. She always put herself first and having her family share her equally was very appealing. The Li family was a warm place for her, something the scheming Qian family lacked.
"Li Xin, so let's be a bit nicer to our parents. Your mom hopes we'll move back home." Yan Ruowen remembered how the Li mom had been actively approaching her lately, subtly hinting that she wanted Li Xin to come home. Yan Ruowen didn't mind the idea. Elderly people always like having a lively family around. She didn't plan to force Li Xin though, she just wanted her to choose for herself.
“Mm, okay." Li Xin was reluctant to give up their alone time, but Yan Ruowen was a filial child. Recently, she had been extremely obedient to her mom's requests, which made Li Xin feel a bit suspicious. She feared she might lose her position compared to the elders in the family. But most importantly, Yan Ruowen liked it.
After entering the orphanage, Li Xin discovered Qian Shaowen was there too. He looked much better now, wearing a white shirt and a sunny smile on his face, looking like a prince. It was obvious he had come for Yan Ruowen. Li Xin felt she couldn't let her guard down, but her hostility towards Qian Shaowen had lessened considerably.
Qian Shaowen felt somewhat surprised to see Li Xin. It felt like the memories that originally belonged to him and Ruowen were now being shared by Li Xin as well, leaving him with a deep sense of loss. However, considering their relationship, he let go of those feelings. After all, she didn't belong to him anymore.
"Have you been doing well lately?" Qian Shaowen tried to maintain his composure as he asked.
"I've been very well. Has your health improved?" Yan Ruowen felt genuinely happy to see Qian Shaowen looking better than before.
“Mm, my health has improved a lot since the surgery. I'm really grateful to Dr. Li." Qian Shaowen smiled gently.
"Although you've had surgery, your health foundation is still not good, so you need to be careful. Don't overexert yourself with exercise, and watch your diet..." In the past, Li Xin wouldn't have cared about Qian Shaowen's well-being at all. It would have been good enough if there was no hostility. How could she possibly take the initiative to show concern? This surprised Qian Shaowen a lot. Yan Ruowen was both surprised and not surprised. Li Xin truly lived up to her word. Yan Ruowen looked at Li Xin, feeling grateful that she didn't miss out on this woman.
Seeing the soft look in Yan Ruowen's eyes, Li Xin felt that being gentle to enemies could indeed demonstrate her strength. The logic was correct. Yan Ruowen had to admit that Li Xin was very good at pleasing women.
