Wooing my Bodyguard Wife

"Here's your food, please enjoy your meal." Xiao Hui says in a quavering voice.

"Oh good! The food is finally here! Serve it please," Sun Jingwei exclaims, sitting upright eagerly. Seated across from him, his date stared at Xiao Hui with narrowed eyes, as though she could tell that Xiao Hui was up to good.

Xiao Hui refuses to meet her eyes out of fear; her focus is on making sure she's calm enough to execute the task flawlessly.

"Here is the Longevity Noodles, would you like me to portion it for you?" Please say no, she hoped. Xiao Hui wasn't sure that her hands would hold steady enough to even serve noodles properly.

"Of course," Sun Jingwei answers, with the tone of someone stating the obvious. "How could I be taking my own food?"

Xue Ning rolls her eyes. "Do you not have hands? You won't die if you scoop your own noodles."

"Xue Ning, how can you say that?" Sun Jingwei whines to her. Xiao Hui has the strangest feeling that he's acting cute to charm his date. Xiao Hui would have found it adorable, but her mind was whirling with thoughts about her task. Perhaps she could just knock it over? Would that do?

Meanwhile Xue Ning stares at Jingwei, unmoved by his act. Sun Jingwei wasn't going to serve himself, because his hands were probably as sweaty as hers. Both of them were on their guard for the slightest hint of a threat.

Xue Ning narrowed her eyes at their server. Where had her earlier bravado gone? She seemed like a new person, refusing to meet their eyes, wholly focused on executing her tasks. Perhaps her boss found out about her rude behaviour and scolded her for her blatant disrespect. That would explain her sudden meekness and why she was taking her own sweet time portioning the noodles, making sure that there was no mess.

Her fingers were trembling. She must have gotten a hell of a tongue lashing. Xue Ning suddenly feels sorry for her.

"Here is the King Crab." Their server says, setting it on the table. Xue Ning's eyes widened at the dish; pictures on the menu had not done it justice.

The crab was huge, and if the legs and claws of the crab were still attached to its body, their table wouldn't be long enough to even hold it. Thankfully, the chefs have already prepared for that possibility and separated the legs and claws into another dish for them to eat.

Despite the possible threat of death, Xue Ning's mouth watered as she breathed in the delicious scent of the spice buttered crab. She licked her lips as she stared at how thick the crab legs were… the crab meat inside was sure to be thick and meaty, bursting with flavour.

Across her, Sun Jingwei suddenly felt his pants tightening at the hungry look on Xue Ning's face as she stared at the crab meat. He shifted in his chair; this wasn't the time or place to pop a boner, especially when his life was possibly in danger, but his lower half clearly had a mind of its own when he saw that small pink tongue of hers dart out to wet her soft lips.

He had always thought those lips of hers were incredibly kissable, but now there were more lewd images in his mind fighting for attention. He choked and willed himself to get a grip. He was in danger! She was in danger! Any horny thoughts could wait until they were safe and well.

They put on the plastic gloves provided to dig into the crab meat.

"Wow…this looks so good," Xue Ning says in a breathy moan, with stars in her eyes as she holds one of the legs in her hands.

Instead of cracking it open and removing the meat with her hands to eat like Jingwei expected, Xue Ning simply sucked the meat out from the opening, relishing in the taste of the fragrant buttery sauce. In her opinion, this sauce, seasoned with herbs, was a perfect combination with the fresh crab meat. She licked her lips, making pleased noises even as some of the sauce escaped from her mouth and dribbled down her chin.

Meanwhile Sun Jingwei sat across from her, holding a crab leg of his own, wondering if this was punishment for his past sins. Did Xue Ning not realise how lewd she looked? Cradling that thick crab leg in her hands and then sucking from it like that… all while making those noises that sent this mind rolling straight into the gutter.

Xue Ning's cheeks were full with crab meat, and her tongue darted out again as she tried to lick some of the sauce from her lips. Jingwei shoved his own crab leg into his mouth just to stop himself from saying something stupidly horny or worse, moan at her practically fellating crab meat.

Jingwei wanted to put his head in his hands. If Xue Ning was his girlfriend and his life wasn't in danger, he probably won't even wait for the rest of the courses before devouring her on the dining table instead of their actual food.

But because Xue Ning wasn't his girlfriend, had no intentions of being his girlfriend, and his life was in certain danger, he had to shove those dirty thoughts deep down inside where they would probably haunt his dreams in future.

'God surely had a sick sense of humour,' Jingwei thought to himself as he ate his crab. It was delicious, but he couldn't appreciate it with all these conflicting thoughts in his mind.

However, there was one person that was feeling more conflicted than Jingwei, and that was the server Xiao Hui. She knew she had a mission to accomplish, but the soup would only be served after the crab course, so she had to stay put in the room as the kitchens prepared the dish.

'This was some kind of torture!' Xiao Hui despaired. Who ate crab like that in public?! She felt like she was some sort of strange voyeur in their foreplay; a quick glance at Sun Jingwei proved that he was even more affected by her display.

His face was slowly reddening despite never taking a single drop of alcohol. He never looked away from Xue Ning's face, watching her eat with fevered desperation, and he kept shifting in his seat. Xiao Hui would bet her meagre fortune that he was hard as a rock.

There was no way his date wouldn't know right? No woman could be that oblivious to a man's interest, right? She looked at Xue Ning again, who was still devouring the crab leg with single-minded focus, refusing to let it go until she sucked out every last bit of meat and sauce.

Finally she stopped.

Xue Ning paused as she felt two pairs of eyes on her, her hands still holding the crab leg. Their server's face was red and she hurriedly looked away when she spotted Xue Ning looking at her, which was normal enough.

What was strange was that look of desperate, clawing hunger in Sun Jingwei's eyes as he stared at her, holding his own crab meat in his hand. Was he so greedy that he wanted to eat all the crab meat from the legs and leave her with the shell?

"What are you looking at?" Xue Ning scolds, plucking some of the legs and dumping them on his plate. "There, now it's split evenly, don't say I'm eating your share."

"I'd rather you eat me," Jingwei muttered under his breath.

"Eh? What did you say? I didn't catch it," Xue Ning asks. All she heard was faint grumbling, too low to figure out words.

"Nothing," Sun Jingwei croaks out in despair. "Thanks for sharing."

"You're welcome," Xue Ning says, confused before she understood. That poor man must have been so worried about the threat on his life he couldn't even enjoy this delicious meal.

"Just eat, but not too much. You'll need more energy later and I don't want you to be sleepy." Xue Ning continues, willing him to understand. If they were attacked, she'd need him to have energy to escape. If he got a food coma, he'd be a sitting duck.

Jingwei nods, seemingly understanding her meaning. "Don't worry, I'll eat well."

To say Xiao Hui was shocked was an understatement. Sun Jingwei's date was so forward! She just implied that the both of them were going to be sleeping together after dinner. What reason would she want him to eat, if not for the energy to go for multiple rounds?

And of course she wouldn't want him to overeat, if he got sleepy they wouldn't be able to do it as much.

Xiao Hui flushed as she imagined the two of them in bed together - both of their bodies would complement each other nicely - nope. No. No.

She was not going there. She had a mission to accomplish, and she was definitely going to do it, to make up for the both of them subjecting her to this strange sexual tension. Maybe the spilled soup would ruin their nightly activities for tonight, but Xiao Hui's future took priority over this shameless couple!
