“Did he succeed?”

“He seemed quite satisfied with that company, but I’m not sure what they’re thinking.”

If he didn’t know the other party’s attitude, then things wouldn’t go smoothly. Lu An smiled and didn’t continue the topic.

The game they were about to play today was a testing version, not yet released to the public. Being the CEO of the company, Lu An would always try out new products personally.

His expectations were naturally high. If he couldn’t pass a level in the game, he wouldn’t allow it to be released.

Jin Nian patiently listened to Lu An’s explanation, but she wasn’t well-versed in games, so she didn’t understand the concept of a testing version. She simply followed Lu An’s lead in playing.

Lu An guided Jin Nian through the controls. “These keys control left and right movement, this one is for jumping, and then there’s…”

These were all very basic commands, and even though Jin Nian wasn’t a skilled gamer, she quickly caught on.

This game was a large-scale AAA title, combined with top-of-the-line graphics facilities, making the visuals incredibly realistic, down to every fine detail, resembling the real world.

Jin Nian couldn’t help but marvel. “This game feels so real!”

“The game’s environments are based on real-world filming and materials, enhanced with cutting-edge lighting technology. It’s essentially a one-to-one replica, which is why it feels so lifelike. The experience inside is like stepping into another reality.”

Listening to Lu An’s explanation, Jin Nian was taken aback. This game shattered her preconceptions of regular games. Even just the scenery was already surpassing most games on the market.

It could be said to be unique in the gaming world. As expected of Whale’s game.

At first, both of them enjoyed playing the game, but gradually, someone’s attention began to waver.

With a sweet and soft girl in his arms, games were naturally cast aside. Even the best game in the world couldn’t compete with the person right in front of him.

However, Jin Nian’s current focus was fully on the game. Seeing Lu An getting a bit restless, she said, “Hold on, I’ll take a look at the way down here first.”

“Sure, take your time exploring,” Lu An said, releasing her hand, an uncommon display of patience.

Jin Nian not only needed to explore the game, but Lu An was also exploring, albeit in a different sense. He was exploring Jin Nian.

Jin Nian stared at the screen intently, maneuvering her character to search for items to progress through the game.

Observing her seriousness, Lu An interjected, “Once we clear this level, I’ll reward you.”

“What kind of reward?” Jin Nian asked, curious.

“I’ll tell you after we clear the level. Consider it a teaser.”

“Can you at least tell me where this reward is?”

“Right in front of us.”

Jin Nian naively believed it might be a small surprise, but little did she know she was the very reward Lu An was referring to.

Ever since their last encounter, Lu An had been concerned about Jin Nian’s well-being, refraining from any physical contact. Now, after about a week, Jin Nian’s body had fully recovered.

As the sky grew dark, the two of them took a shower, feeling notably refreshed.

Jin Nian had not escaped Lu An’s hand. She was captivated by his touch.

The game controllers had been discarded, leaving only fleeting fireworks on the screen and the breathtaking cityscape.

After turning off the lights, other than the dim light on the screen, the surroundings were a little dim. Under such circumstances, one’s senses would be magnified a little.

“Let me see,” Lu An murmured gently.

“What?”

“Your wound.”

Speaking of this, Jin Nian blushed. She replied, “It’s healed already, there’s no need to look.”

Lu An took this matter very seriously. He insisted on examining her himself before feeling at ease.

Despite Jin Nian’s reluctance, Lu An’s insistence prevailed, and he examined the wound.

Lu An was patient, and the inspection took nearly half an hour.

Jin Nian’s eyes glistened with tears. She looked helpless and innocent as she withdrew slightly, trapped with no escape.

Lu An’s gaze remained on Jin Nian, and he leaned in for a kiss.

Jin Nian turned her head, but a firm hand gently held her head in place. Then, his warm lips met hers.

“This is your scent,” Lu An murmured.

Jin Nian blushed and couldn’t say anything.

Seeing her reaction, Lu An decided not to tease her any further. He lifted her gently and led her back to the room.

It was late at night, and the surroundings were quiet. Lu An looked at the person beside him. At this moment, she was not asleep, just like him, revealing a pair of bright eyes.

“Jin Nian.”

“Yes?”

“Call my name.”

“Lu An.”

“That’s not right.”

Jin Nian pondered for a moment. “Hubby.”

Finally, a smile appeared on Lu An’s face, and he cradled her gently in his arms.

For the rest of the night, Jin Nian slept soundly, possibly due to the comfort of Lu An’s embrace..
