HUN Chapter 136: Unique Night View

Just as the party atmosphere reached its peak, a Subaru Outback quietly stopped at the edge of the crowd. The car door opened, and Emily stepped out.

She had clearly dressed up carefully for this party, abandoning her usual practical work attire for form-fitting jeans and a close-fitting white cashmere sweater that accentuated her healthy, powerful, and sensual body curves.

She carried a bottle of fine whiskey in her hand, wearing a polite but distant smile as she congratulated Old George.

Lin Yu'an's gaze met hers briefly from across the distance.

Emily appeared calm as still water, as if they were merely nodding acquaintances.

But Lin Yu'an read a trace of complex emotion in the depths of those calm blue eyes, something only he could understand.

Emily naturally blended into the party. As the town's only veterinarian, she was familiar with everyone.

She chatted and laughed with the neighboring women while occasionally casting subtle glances toward Lin Yu'an, who was surrounded by the men.

She was observing how the status of this man, who had recently been intimately entangled with her in the most primal way, had changed within the community.

Halfway through the party, Lin Yu'an went to get more beer, temporarily leaving the noisy bonfire.

He walked into Old George's cabin to retrieve several packs of ice-cold beer from the refrigerator.

When he turned to leave, he found Emily had somehow appeared in the kitchen doorway, blocking his path.

The kitchen was dimly lit, with only the bonfire's glow filtering in from outside, outlining her alluring silhouette.

"Congratulations, hero who helped Old George fulfill his dream."

Emily's voice was soft, carrying a barely perceptible note of teasing, “It seems you've completely conquered this group of tough guys."

Lin Yu'an said nothing, just quietly watching her. He could smell her faint perfume mixed with the smoky scent of the bonfire.

"They've accepted you now, considering you part of the community."

Emily took a step forward, instantly closing the distance between them, making the atmosphere somewhat ambiguous and dangerous.

"But I know what you are."

"What am I?" Lin Yu'an's voice carried a hint of confusion.

"Deep in your bones lurks a more dangerous, more calculating beast."

"Though you appear calm and composed on the surface, with the face of a good boy, I know that when you encounter something troublesome, your first instinct is destruction."

This statement made him fall into contemplation as he looked at this woman who had regained her composure, no longer showing the panicked expression from that day.

Since his rebirth, from being cautious to gradually trying to use his golden finger, to discovering the enhancement of his constitution and sixth sense,

His inner emotions and desires, or rather his wild nature, were constantly being amplified! This was most directly manifested in killing and desire.

Lin Yu'an had become aware of this problem when he encountered those three poaching men. He had countless moments when he wanted to immediately shoot and kill those three troublemakers! But he forcibly restrained himself.

He had once read an article mainly discussing how even if you gain power and authority, your mental and physical state will naturally change.

This is controlled by genes, your genes feel that your current strength is sufficient to reap more rewards, so the saying "the youth who slays dragons eventually becomes the dragon" is absolutely not just words.

And Emily had brought up this matter, forcing him to treat it with caution.

When he couldn't imagine what he would ultimately become as his future power grew stronger and his wealth increased, no one could know.

All he could do was stick to his original heart, constantly adapt and adjust to his increasingly powerful abilities, and control his emotions and desires, not letting himself become a madman!

Most importantly, he must take on family responsibilities, this might be one of the few weapons capable of suppressing emotions and desires.

Emily's blue eyes looked directly at Lin Yu'an as she continued, “That look in your eyes that night, I'll never forget it. You really thought about killing me, didn't you?"

Lin Yu'an was silent for a moment, then finally nodded, “Yes, I did."

This honest answer actually made Emily breathe a sigh of relief.

A self-mocking smile curved her lips, “Thank you for your honesty. At least this proves you're not a complete hypocrite."

She stepped closer again, almost pressing against Lin Yu'an, whispering in a voice only they could hear, “Would you like to come to my cabin tonight to check on Bitcoin's trend together?"

"No need to look, it definitely hasn't reached sixty thousand dollars yet," Lin Yu'an said.

Just then, Stan's booming voice came from outside, “Hey! Lin! Did the snow monster steal the beer? We're dying of thirst here!"

Emily quickly stepped back, resuming her polite but distant expression. She winked at Lin Yu'an, then turned and walked out of the kitchen.

Lin Yu'an carried the beer back to the noisy bonfire.

He distributed the beer to everyone and was once again drawn into heated conversations.

He tried to temporarily put aside that conversation with Emily, raising his bottle and laughing loudly with the tough guys around him, drinking heartily.

But his peripheral vision would uncontrollably glance toward Emily's direction.

He saw her chatting with several neighboring housewives, graceful in manner, smiling appropriately, as if the woman with challenging eyes from earlier was just his hallucination.

The party continued until late at night.

When the bonfire flames gradually died down and the mellow whiskey and ice-cold beer were finished, everyone's enthusiasm slowly faded with the growing cold.

Guests began saying goodbye to Old George in twos and threes, carrying satisfied tipsy feelings and the lingering aroma of roasted meat as they disappeared down paths leading to their respective cabins.

"George, thanks for the hospitality! This was the best party I've ever attended!"

"Lin! Next time you have good stuff, remember to include us!"

Stan, Cody, and others also prepared to leave arm-in-arm, not forgetting to give Lin Yu'an a hearty slap on the shoulder before departing.

Soon, only Lin Yu'an, Old George, and Emily, who was preparing to stand, remained by the bonfire.

Emily stood up, but her figure swayed slightly.

She raised her hand to her forehead, a perfectly timed flush from alcohol appearing on her face.

She walked to Old George, her voice carrying a lazy huskiness, “George, thank you for the mutton and whiskey. I had a wonderful time tonight, but... I think I drank a bit too much. My head is spinning."

Old George looked at Emily, then at Lin Yu'an beside her who hadn't drunk much. His wrinkled face instantly revealed a meaningful smile.

He cleared his throat, speaking in an unquestionable tone, “Oh, that won't do! We absolutely cannot let Wiseman's only and most beautiful veterinarian risk drunk driving! That's too dangerous!"

He turned his head, looking directly at Lin Yu'an.

"Lin, you're not drunk, right?"

"No, George," Lin Yu'an answered reluctantly, already sensing what would happen next.

"Then it's settled! You'll drive Emily home! You must safely deliver her to her doorstep! That's an order!"

He winked at Lin Yu'an, “I can handle the cleanup here by myself. Go on, young man, don't keep our lady waiting too long."

Then he added in a low voice, “Boy, no matter what happens, you're not allowed to break any laws, understood?"

Emily's face maintained that "drunken" flush and helplessness, but deep in her lowered eyes flashed a smile of successful scheming.

She looked at Lin Yu'an, using a vulnerable tone that needed assistance, “Then... I'll trouble you, Lin."

Under Old George's all-knowing smile and Emily's "perfectly timed" request, Lin Yu'an had no reason to refuse.

"Alright, no problem." He nodded, accepting the car keys Emily handed him.

"Drive slowly!" Old George called out loudly behind them, his voice full of cheerful laughter.

Lin Yu'an sat in the driver's seat of Emily's Subaru Outback.

The car still held traces of her faint perfume, mixing with the leather scent to create a unique atmosphere full of feminine presence.

Emily sat in the passenger seat. As soon as she got in, she leaned back against the seat, closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly in the dim light, as if she had truly fallen asleep from intoxication.

Lin Yu'an started the car and smoothly drove away from Old George's cabin.

The car traveled along the quiet forest path, with only the rustling sound of tires on gravel.

Neither spoke, creating a somewhat subtle atmosphere.

Just as the car reached Emily's cabin, the woman who had appeared completely unconscious from drink suddenly opened her eyes.

Her gaze was clear and bright, showing not a trace of intoxication.

She leaned closer to Lin Yu'an, a playful smile curving her lips as she whispered in his ear, “Hero HermanN, won't you really come up to check Bitcoin's trend?"

That warm breath brushed past his ear, carrying a hint of fragrance and the sweet scent of alcohol, like a soft feather tickling Lin Yu'an's heartstrings.

He didn't answer immediately, just turned his head to meet Emily's beautiful blue eyes in the night.

The dim light in the car outlined her three-dimensional features and slightly upturned lips. Those eyes held both cunning exploration and a deeper invitation.

"I thought you were drunk," Lin Yu'an's voice was calm, revealing no emotion.

"In Alaska, if a woman wants to appear drunk, she must have her reasons for doing so."

Emily didn't retreat but moved even closer, their distance so close they could feel each other's breathing.

She extended her slender fingers, lightly tracing his strong jawline. That cool touch brought inner heat to Lin Yu'an.

Her voice dropped even lower, carrying a husky allure, “For instance, she wants to see whether the beast beneath that tough guy exterior has truly retracted its fangs."

Lin Yu'an's fingers gripping the steering wheel tightened slightly.

He certainly understood the implications in Emily's words and what her "Bitcoin trend" really meant.

Since that bloody incident, they had transcended ordinary neighborly relations.

They were accomplices, benefit allies, bound tightly together by a dark secret.

Lin Yu'an was silent for a moment, then unbuckled his seatbelt with a crisp "click."

This simple action sounded particularly loud in the quiet car cabin, like a silent response.

He didn't get out of the car or go upstairs, but turned around, using an imposing posture to trap Emily between the passenger seat and himself.

One hand braced against her seatback, the other gently lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.

"Does checking Bitcoin's trend require payment?" His eyes were deep, like midnight spruce forests hiding unfathomable turbulence.

Emily's breathing caught slightly. She could clearly feel the intense masculine presence emanating from him.

She didn't dodge but met his gaze, the playful smile on her lips growing more pronounced.

"Of course."

She licked her somewhat dry lips, an unconscious yet highly seductive gesture.

"There's no free lunch in the world, especially in Alaska, is there?"

"No free lunch?" His fingertip gently caressed her smooth chin, feeling that delicate texture.

That softness formed a stark contrast to the cold rocks, rough firearms, and bloody pelts he'd been handling these days, stimulating his nerve endings.

The emotions he'd been suppressing were completely ignited by this small gesture.

That conquering desire from hunting instincts, the violence from battling wolves, and the suppressed irritation,

In this moment, they found a common outlet for release, quickly transforming into the most direct primal desire!

"Mmm~" Emily's body leaned forward slightly, eliminating the last bit of distance between them, her lips almost touching his.

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Yu'an suddenly released her and leaned back into the driver's seat.

A flash of bewilderment crossed Emily's eyes.

"Market conditions are always changing."

Lin Yu'an said calmly, restarting the car and turning around, driving along another path toward the lake.

"Rather than watching those cold numbers on a screen, I prefer going somewhere with an open view to see the real Alaskan night scenery."

Emily said nothing more, just leaned back against her seat.

She didn't want to think too deeply about whether tonight's fire was lit as a safer pledge of allegiance or due to her own desire after years of being single.

The car finally stopped at a secluded clearing by the lake.

Moonlight poured like mercury onto the calm lake surface, while distant mountains outlined majestic silhouettes in the night.

There were no other people here, only them and this vast, silent wilderness.

Lin Yu'an turned off the engine, and the car cabin fell into quiet again. This time, he didn't give Emily another chance to speak.

He leaned forward, one hand gripping the back of her neck, the other around her waist, pulling her toward him, then kissed her with an almost predatory dominance and possessive desire!

After a moment of initial shock, Emily seriously followed his rhythm.

The temperature inside the Subaru Outback rose rapidly, breathing became urgent.

Clothing became cumbersome, the seat space felt incredibly cramped.

Finally, Lin Yu'an stopped. He looked at Emily, who was now completely disheveled, her blue eyes rippling with misty desire.

He pressed his forehead against hers, his voice husky as he spoke in her ear.

"I've brought the entrance fee."

Emily's body trembled slightly, her lips curving into a smile both seductive and carrying a hint of surrender, responding in an almost inaudible voice.

"Then... hero, welcome to enter."

A smile flashed in Lin Yu'an's eyes, a smile of mutual understanding. He held back nothing more.

The cramped Subaru Outback was too restrictive for two people.

Fortunately, the car's hood was spacious and flat enough, though somewhat cold.

The night, lake light, and snow mountains became the backdrop for their most primal stage.

Emily felt the cold metal hood beneath her and Lin Yu'an's burning heat behind her.

This intense contrast between cold and heat made her unable to suppress her sighs of pleasure.
