"Colonel Lin, wait a moment. A helicopter will be here shortly to pick you up and take you directly to the Yanjing Military Region."

At that moment, a voice called out again from one of the fighter jets. Although Lin Kuang yelled back in acknowledgment, it was in vain. The distance was too great, and amidst the roaring engines, there was no way they could hear him. The ten fighter jets quickly departed. Lin Kuang wasn’t concerned about whether they had heard him; someone was coming to their rescue, and that was all that mattered.

"We sure are lucky, Wan’er," Lin Kuang said with a chuckle, holding Mu Wan in his arms.

"Yeah, but... shouldn’t you let go now?" Mu Wan asked, her face flushing with a hint of shyness.

At her words, Lin Kuang paused and looked down. Well now... his hand had somehow found its way to a place it shouldn’t be. No wonder she was so shy. Their position was rather suggestive, and a wicked smile spread across his face.

"Alright, I’ll let go," he chuckled. But instead of releasing her, both of his hands began to roam.

The sensation made Mu Wan flush with a mixture of shame and anger, and her body went limp. After being teased by Lin Kuang like this, what strength could she possibly have left? She simply melted into his embrace.

"You scoundrel! I told you to let go, not to hold me!" Mu Wan snapped, her entire body feeling weak and powerless.

"Heh heh, now that I have this chance, how could I possibly let you go? My dear Wan’er, why don’t we let the sky be our blanket and the earth our bed and just get it on right here?" Lin Kuang said with a mischievous grin. After surviving such a dangerous ordeal, he was clearly in the mood for some trouble. Besides, he was holding a stunning beauty; it would be unrealistic to claim he felt nothing.

"You scoundrel... you really are getting more and more wicked! We can’t... not now. At least, not here," she said, her face flushed as she let his hands wander.

In truth, Mu Wan didn’t mind all that much. She was going to be his woman sooner or later; their relationship had been all but confirmed over a year ago. Letting him take a few small liberties now was no big deal. But for this scoundrel to suggest doing *that* right here... she just couldn’t agree. It was far too embarrassing.

Hearing her shy but firm refusal, Lin Kuang knew it was a no-go. That left him slightly dejected. He’d always fantasized about an encounter like this with one of his women, but it seemed that particular wish was never going to come true.

"Alright then, we’ll wait until we get home. But you know, I’m just now discovering that my dear Wan’er is... quite ample right here, isn’t she?" With another wicked smile, Lin Kuang slid his hand under her clothes.

Instantly, Mu Wan’s cheeks turned crimson. Her body had never been touched like this by a man before. Even when she and Lin Kuang had first gotten together, they had at most held hands, their relationship as pure as could be.

With Lin Kuang’s hand exploring her body, she didn’t know what to feel. She was incredibly shy, of course, but a part of her also seemed to be... enjoying it. She even felt a sense of anticipation, as if her body was eager for him to explore even further.

Summoning a sudden burst of strength from that thought, Mu Wan clamped her hand down on his audacious one.

"You scoundrel! If you dare move your hand any further, I’ll chop off those wandering paws of yours!" Mu Wan exclaimed, a mixture of shame and fury in her voice as she twisted her body slightly. She could distinctly feel a strange new sensation from the place he had touched...

"Ahem, I wasn’t doing anything. Now now, my dear Wan’er, don’t let your imagination run wild," Lin Kuang said, plastering on a thick-skinned, innocent look.

She scoffed internally, not believing a single word the scoundrel said. Pushing herself out of his embrace, she straightened her clothes. As Lin Kuang watched her, so delicate and lovely, he was completely mesmerized. The sight was so beautiful it made him want to pin her down right then and there.

"Keep staring and I’ll chop off that troublesome thing of yours!" Mu Wan threatened, glaring pointedly at his crotch. At her words, Lin Kuang instinctively clapped both hands over himself, looking utterly alarmed.

"Ahem! My dear Wan’er, that’s a bit too cruel, don’t you think?" Lin Kuang said, giving her a pitiful look. "This is my only treasure! If you chop it off, what about your future happiness?"

"Hmph. Technology is so advanced these days. Why would I need *you* for that?" Mu Wan retorted with a sneer.

Lin Kuang froze, staring at her with a strange expression. "My dear Wan’er... you haven’t actually tried one of those, have you?"

Mu Wan’s face flushed crimson with fury. She shot him a glare. "Like hell I have!"

"Ahem, I was just asking," he said quickly. "Don’t worry, Wan’er. I guarantee mine is way better than any of those toys. They don’t call me the human jackhammer for nothing, you know. My skills aren’t just hot air," Lin Kuang added, flicking his hair in a way that was supposed to look cool but completely failed.

"Oh? Sounds like you get called that a lot, do you?" Mu Wan asked, a sly smile playing on her lips. Seeing that smile, Lin Kuang winced as a sense of foreboding washed over him. In the next instant, Mu Wan’s small fist came flying at him.
