Chapter 686

Juniper felt super awkward and her face turned beet red. "Shut up! What's it to you anyway?"

Ronnie shot back, "How could it not be? It's all about me, just me! You're so innocent and cute."

Juniper frowned and swatted his hand away as he tried to pinch her cheek. "You're so annoying. Quit touching me. What's the big deal? Besides, you're a total playboy. What gives you the right..."

"No, I'm just surprised. But if you are, I'd feel super lucky. Whether you are or not, I'll cherish you." Ronnie grinned like a Cheshire cat. "I really hit the jackpot."

Juniper was speechless.

She couldn't figure out why Ronnie was so happy, like he'd be her first or something.

Juniper ordered, "Finish eating and wash the dishes."

Ronnie asked, "You're already used to making me wash the dishes. Does this mean you're starting to accept me?"

Juniper snapped back, "Nonsense! I'm training you."

"Yeah, training me to do housework, very girlfriend-like."

Juniper really wanted to punch him.

This jerk!

Sometimes he could really drive her nuts.

"Stop nagging. If you don't wash, just leave."

Ronnie teased, "I'll wash. How could I disobey my girlfriend's orders? Besides, I can't bear to hurt your delicate hands."

"Ronnie! I'll say it a hundred times, I'm not your girlfriend!"

"Just in name for now, and soon you'll be my real girlfriend," Ronnie said confidently. He was really looking forward to that day.

Seeing the ambition burning in his eyes like sparks, Juniper suddenly didn't know how to face him, so she turned her eyes away. "Stop talking nonsense, and go wash the dishes. I need to prep for tomorrow's meeting."

"Yes, ma'am!" Ronnie saluted seriously.

Juniper was both amused and exasperated.

She was speechless about this guy.

"Sweetie, I'm done washing the dishes. I was amazing today, didn't break a single dish. Praise me." Ronnie came out of the kitchen and found Juniper had fallen asleep with her laptop, papers scattered all over the floor.

He smiled.

Juniper slept with her mouth open like a kid, not afraid of drooling. Ronnie walked over, bent down, and picked up the papers one by one, neatly stacking them, and placed the laptop on the coffee table.

Girls in their early twenties were at their best, full of youth and vitality, with plenty of collagen, still a bit childish but already showing signs of womanly maturity. Juniper's features were naturally charming and lively.

Ronnie had seen many beautiful women, but this face never got old, always revealing new charms and feelings each time he looked, for example, her nose was small yet perky, and her lips were full and cute.

The more he looked, the more he liked.

Unconsciously, he wanted to kiss her.

As a seasoned player in love, he suddenly felt like a teenager again, experiencing his first crush, full of impulsive yet cautious and shy feelings.

Even he could be shy. When a man faced the woman he truly liked, no matter his age, he became sensitive and careful.

Ronnie thought, 'A kiss shouldn't be a big deal. After all, she would be mine sooner or later.'

Thinking this, Ronnie inched closer.

Juniper's breath and scent got stronger, a faint and sweet fragrance.

Ronnie moved like a ninja, super careful.

Her lips looked so pink and probably tasted amazing.

His mouth went dry.

He closed his eyes and leaned in for the kiss.

Juniper suddenly sneezed.

Ronnie froze, eyes wide open, while Juniper kept snoozing.

Ronnie thought, 'Is she really not doing this on purpose? She makes me laugh and cry. Whatever. I can't be bothered to argue with a little girl.'

Ronnie smiled, gently picked her up, and carried her to the bedroom, laying her on the bed and lying down beside her.

He was tall, and the small bed was a bit cramped for two people, but that was better. He could be closer to her, even closer.

This was his first time sharing a bed with a woman, yet nothing happened.

And compared to direct sex, he cherished and enjoyed this moment more. Just watching her quietly made him feel very content.

'How could she have such an adorable sleeping face. The more I look, the cuter she seems, like a little kitten. She occasionally smacks her lips in her sleep, murmuring something.' Ronnie thought and smiled. 'This talkative girl. Usually so bossy in front of me, but so quiet and sweet when sleeping, soft and cute.'

Thinking about her lack of sexual experience, Ronnie's heart softened even more. It was wonderful that he could have all of her, every bit belonging to him.

The future was uncertain, but at this moment, he truly wanted to spend his life with Juniper.

'Just five more minutes,' he thought.

The night was very quiet, until...

Juniper shouted, "Ronnie, you jerk!"

With a loud noise, Ronnie hadn't even reacted when he was kicked off the bed, letting out a cry of pain, "Damn it! That hurts! What the hell is wrong with you..."

He looked up in confusion to see Juniper, hair all over the place, jumping up and down. "You jerk. Who let you sleep in my bed?"

"What? I fell asleep?" Ronnie was stunned. He had only planned to sleep for five minutes, but... it must have been her scent.

"Well, it can't be helped. Now that I've slept here, you're mine." He said confidently.

Juniper snapped, "Nonsense. Nothing happened between us."

"How do you know nothing happened? You were sleeping like a log last night, and you know I'm a jerk, so..." Ronnie smiled ambiguously and wickedly.

"Go to hell!" Juniper stood on the bed and kicked again, but this time Ronnie quickly grabbed her foot.

Ronnie teased, "Trying again? Planning to murder your husband?"

"Let go of my foot." Juniper's foot was held at a 90° angle, super awkward.

"Nope." Ronnie grinned, having a blast.

"Let go..." Juniper struggled, falling back and hitting her head on the bed, feeling a dull pain.

"Are you okay?" Ronnie leaned over, barely touching her.

His eyes showed no concern, only schadenfreude and amusement.

"Get off me now!" Juniper shouted at him.

"No, you're soft and fragrant. It's comfy."

"You..." Juniper felt like killing him.
