My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 158

Lily took a few steps and halted. Then, she looked at Loid expressionlessly. "Are you sick or something?"

She just wanted to come out for a stroll after eating too much. She didn't expect Loid would take her to the mall and buy her so many clothes. Did she look like she lacked clothes to wear?

"I was, but you cured me." Loid smiled and lifted Lily's hand. He was beaming so widely that his eyes were reduced to slits.

It was rare for Lily not to oppose him bringing her out in public and showering her with attention. Because of this, he was in a very good mood.

Lily, on the other hand, was rendered speechless.

She crossed her arms over her chest and raised a brow at him. Next, a corner of her rosy lips lifted into a teasing smirk. "Loid, you're still under probation."

Loid instantly stopped smiling and changed into a more solemn expression. "Sorry, Reese."

Lily chuckled and didn't say anything else. After that, Loid behaved more like a normal person. He no longer insisted on buying Lily all sorts of things.

They had just reached the mall entrance when Lily's phone started ringing. It was a call from Anya.

"Lily, our school is having an art festival tomorrow. Will you be coming to watch our performance?" Anya asked.

Lily thought for a moment and replied, "Sure!"

The banquet was on the day after tomorrow, so she had time to spare for the next day.

"Really? Awesome!" Anya exclaimed. Then, she added, "Be there by 10:00 am tomorrow. See you."

Lily replied with a faint "Yeah" and hung up.

Loid took Lily to a restaurant for dinner. Since nothing else was going on that night, they decided to call it a day. They slept on the same bed, but Loid didn't make any advances. He thought that Lily was still young and shouldn't start having sex so soon.

The next morning, streaks of golden light rose in the east. They streamed through the transparent glass of the windows and shone on the face of a young woman who was still sleeping soundly.

Despite having her eyes closed, Lily could feel the bright light shining on her, causing her eyes discomfort. She lifted a hand to block the light and turned to the other side. Upon turning, she found Loid watching her with his head propped on his arm.

Lily turned her head, causing her cheek to touch Loid's lips. She felt slightly awkward and quickly turned back. "I'll try."

Loid put his hands on her shoulders and turned her around to face him. Under the sunlight, her face looked delicate. Even without any makeup, she looked breathtakingly beautiful. Her lowered eyes and long eyelashes made Loid's heart skip a beat.

Her lips were tempting him. Loid could feel raging desire burning at the back of his throat.

As their eyes met, Lily blushed. She was about to turn around, but Loid suddenly held her in place and went in for a kiss.

Lily blinked twice in surprise. Her body stiffened completely like she was a statue.

Loid's tongue reached in and found that her teeth were clenched tightly as if she were nervous. He opened his eyes and saw the beads of sweat gliding down her cheeks.

He found this endearing and a little funny. Lily wasn't afraid of anything, but this kiss startled her to no end. It wasn't like he would devour her.

Loid reached up and held the back of her head. His cool lips whispered into her ears, "Don't be nervous."
