Chapter 8

His mouth carried the cool, slightly spicy sensation of mouthwash, refreshing and soft. Two years of being together day and night had made her familiar with him, and she had accepted him. He also knew where she was most sensitive. Her body instinctively softened, yearning to lean in and find a place to rest.

He spoke and then bit her lip

Su Qi did not know how she ended up eating in bed. When she finally regained consciousness, Ye Zinan was gently measuring and kneading her chest with both hands. Upon seeing her open her eyes, he smiled like a cat that had just stolen a fish, saying, "You seem to have gained some weight recently, and this area has also grown."

With both hands clasped in front of her chest, her pajamas slightly wrinkled, and her legs crossed on the sofa cushion, she tilted her head slightly, perhaps feeling a bit uncomfortable, with a furrowed brow. In others, this posture would only evoke a sense of awkwardness, yet Su Qi felt that the person before her exuded an air of elegance and composure even while asleep in such a manner

What time is it now! Why haven't you gone to work yet! Has your company gone bankrupt?

Ye Zinan was awakened by hunger, or more precisely, by the enticing aroma of food. Glancing at the time, it was nearly six o'clock

She immediately widened her eyes, "Did you not promise? How can you go back on your word!"

While speaking, she pointed at the dishes on the table, her eyes flickering as she dared not look at him

Ye Zinan had slept all afternoon, and naturally could not fall asleep at night. Su Qi, as expected, became the target of her torment, with endless variations and an unrelenting enthusiasm. When her mind was still somewhat clear, a wave of regret washed over her; she should not have softened her heart and made him soup. It was certainly a huge mistake, and she was the one suffering. He was not tired at all; he hardly seemed like someone in need of rest.

This week, he has probably been working through the night again. Reflecting on his recent life, which resembles that of a pig, Su Qi's sense of guilt unconsciously surged within him

Ye Zinan leaned against her chest and the books, chuckling softly. It was only then that Su Qi realized how ambiguous the words were, how lingering the tone sounded, almost carrying a hint of coquetry. She wished she could bite off her own tongue

Ye Zinan looked at her, her eyes sparkling with liveliness, and her fair cheeks flushed with a rosy hue. The more one looked, the cuter she became, making one wish to devour her whole.

She picked up the teacup from the table and handed it to Ye Zinan, "You have been working hard lately, so I specially brewed Eight Treasures Tea for you. Would you like to try it?"

Ye Zinan closed the magazine with a "pop," smiling as she looked at her. "You are right, I am not a good person. By the way, I just remembered that starting tomorrow, I will be very busy. This situation will last until the night before Dad's birthday. I think I probably won't have time to buy a gift for Dad, so you can handle it yourself. After all, you told Mom that you would buy the gift."

Ye Zinan suppressed the upward curve of his lips and nodded seriously, "Hmm, it seems there is some truth to that."

He then took her breast in his mouth, and his hands became restless as well. Su Qi blushed and tried to block his hands, saying pitifully, "I am hungry"

So, since you have time tomorrow, shall we go out for a stroll and conveniently buy a gift for Dad

Ye Zinan took the cup after a while, leisurely took a sip, cast her a glance with an air of superiority, and with her lips slightly parted, uttered a few words, "Remember, you owe me twice."

The situation was more serious than he had imagined. After working tirelessly for several days, the matter was finally resolved. During these days, he had not taken the time to call her, and she, surprisingly, had also been completely out of touch. Initially, he intended to ignore her out of spite, but after just half a day, he could no longer bear it. In the end, he politely declined the other party's kind offer and took the first flight back in the morning

What did I promise m.hetushu.com? I remember I only agreed to help you deal with your mother; I didn't say anything else.

Ye Zinan watched as her fair skin gradually turned pink, becoming increasingly alluring. He tightened his arms and whispered softly in her ear, "I am hungry"

Perhaps he has not fully woken up, as his eyes are not as compelling as before. Su Qi gently said, "Go wash up and sleep on the bed."

Ye Zinan finally lifted his head, lightly pecked her lips, and said, "Let's go, it's time to eat"

Ye Zinan leaned closer, his gaze fixed intently on her soft, full red lips, murmuring, "Hmm, let me taste the soup first"

Ye Zinan lay flat, allowing her to act as she pleased, with a slight smile curving at the corners of her mouth, not struggling at all, as if in a very good mood. The light in her eyes shimmered, carrying a warm smile, yet in Su Qi's eyes, it was even more detestable

As Su Qi had just placed the lid on the pot and set down the spoon, a pair of hands encircled her waist from behind, followed by a weight on her shoulder and warm breath brushing against her ear

Su Qi noticed that his complexion was indeed poor, and he seemed to have lost weight. His entire face appeared more angular, with a chin that was sharp as if it had been cut with a knife. Unable to resist, she reached out to touch him, and he quickly woke up, looking at her with his narrow eyes, which were both dark and bright.

Why? You have money if you want it, you have looks if you want them, you have a good figure if you want it; isn't keeping a beautiful woman in a golden house quite popular for you? Besides, are you really such a good person?

He seems really tired, casually draping a bathrobe over himself as he walks out. He fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow, breathing steadily and deeply, his brows relaxed, not even taking the time to draw the curtains, a necessary task before sleep.

Su Qi let out another wail, got off him, and covered his head with the blanket

Ye Zinan turned a page, "No."

Su Qi nodded decisively in agreement with the book.

Ye Zinan glanced at her and then closed his eyes again, taking a moment before getting up to head towards the bathroom. Su Qi also got up to tidy the bed in the bedroom

Returning home utterly exhausted, I unexpectedly found her sleeping soundly. I truly did not know whether to be angry or to laugh

It was still in a tone of understatement, but to Su Qi's ears, it was nothing short of a thunderclap on a clear day

One cannot live by one's own misdeeds

Ye Zinan lightly sipped at the skin of her neck, leaving a faint red mark, and in a hushed voice coaxed, "Then let us have our meal."

Ye Zinan was very pleased with her reaction, letting out a soft laugh that gently vibrated against her body

His voice carried the hoarseness of just waking up, laced with a hint of seduction

The familiar scent quickly enveloped her mind, and she, as if enchanted, parted her lips and tongue, entangling with him, no longer resisting

The project that was originally agreed upon encountered unexpected issues, and the other party insisted on discussing it in person. With no other option, he had to go. He intended to call her to inform her, but after some thought, he ultimately had his assistant convey the message. Surprisingly, she did not express any objections, nor did she make a single inquiry.

Ye Zinan's Adam's apple also moved, and his legs walked over involuntarily

Su Qi's face suddenly turned red

Her mouth was filled with the deliciousness of the soup, and he could only feel her fragrant softness, wishing he could crush it and embed it into his own body. He involuntarily deepened the kiss.

Someone leisurely flipping through a magazine on the sofa did not even raise their eyes, and淡淡地 said, "Mrs. Ye, would you like me to remind you that this is our home? Where would you have me go if I do not return?"

Su Qi thought for a moment and realized that it was indeed the case; he had never made any commitments. This unscrupulous businessman was truly meticulous in his dealings

The next day, Ye Zinan rarely accompanied her and Tu Shu to sleep in. Su Qi was drowsily asleep, while Ye Zinan was causing mischief beside her, occasionally brushing her face gently with her hair, counting her eyelashes one by one, and pinching her nose without letting go.

He reached out to touch her face, "I was also talking about having a meal, where did your thoughts go?"

She cleared her throat and said, "I am really hungry; I haven't eaten anything since last night"

Ye Zinan suddenly fell silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. Su Qi felt anxious, like an ant on a hot pan. It was all her fault for being too proud and losing her composure.

Finally, Su Qi could no longer endure it. Covering herself with the blanket, she let out a wail and sat up. With swift movements, she turned and straddled Ye Zinan, her hands tightly gripping his neck, displaying a look of gritted teeth.

Ye Zinan rested his hands behind his head, rarely feeling so relaxed and at ease. "I wonder who it was last night who cried and begged me to take a two-day break."

From the day they met, Ye Zinan had always treated her well. Although he never let her gain any advantage verbally, he had always protected her in his heart. There were some words and matters he had never mentioned, and she had never brought them up, but she was aware of them.

Su Qi stood by the bed for a while, walked to the window to draw the curtains, went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water, leaned against the countertop, and took small sips while looking out the window

Sensing her emotions, he slowly released the restraints on her hands, allowing her arms to instinctively wrap around his neck. As their lips and tongues intertwined, both of them were breathless.

Ye Zinan buried her face in her neck and took a deep breath, saying with a double entendre, "It smells so good"

As soon as she spoke, she realized that her voice unconsciously carried a hint of allure

Su Qi felt as if many ants were biting her heart and body, a tingling sensation extending from her neck to her heart. She suddenly broke free from Ye Zinan, turned around, her face flushed and breath unsteady as she emphasized, "I was talking about having a meal with the books."

After Suqi reheated the meal and finished washing the dishes, she collapsed onto the sofa, saying, "I get so tired as soon as you come back. When you're not here, I just eat something casually, and it's so much easier."

After getting out of bed and finishing her morning routine, she walked to the kitchen door and saw her wearing an apron, holding a spoon to taste the soup. Pouting slightly, she blew on it a few times, then pressed her pink lips against the white porcelain spoon. The spoon tilted slightly, and her throat moved as she swallowed. Immediately after, her eyes narrowed, and a satisfied smile spread across her face.

Su Qi felt even more ashamed; he clearly did not mean it that way! However, she could not find a single word to defend herself, so she lowered her head and murmured softly, "Then let's have a meal. I'll go serve the soup."

Faced with the sudden attack, Su Qi's instinctive reaction was to resist, but soon he gained control of the situation. He wrapped one arm around her waist and pressed down on her neck with the other. It seemed as though he exerted no force, yet it rendered her completely immobile

Su Qi had prepared the bathwater, and Ye Zinan was already asleep

Did she not just have some soup? Then let's taste what is in her mouth

Su Qi suddenly became interested, "Hey, have you ever thought about keeping a mistress outside?"

Su Qi struggled a bit, but it had no effect at all, so he could only say, "I am also hungry"

After checking the time, I changed my clothes and went out to the supermarket

She immediately got up, holding onto Ye Zinan's arm without letting go, and said with a flattering smile, "I was just joking earlier. How could you not be a good person? You are a good person, the best person in the world. Didn't you just come back from a business trip? You should take a couple of days to rest. Health is the foundation of revolution. Besides, money can always be earned, but if you wear yourself out, it would be a loss that outweighs the gain, don't you think?"

Even after speaking, he did not leave; the heated breath, exhaled in bursts, flowed into her ears, causing her to shudder repeatedly
