Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qi Chengyue drove over to Imperial Terrace, where the Qi Zhongliang couple was staying. Xia Wenna had ordered the servants to prepare tea. In actual fact, she was about to go to bed at that time. However, Qi Chengyue seemed to have something really important to tell her when she called.

Once Qi Chengyue arrived, she acted all secretive and requested Xia Wenna to clear out the servants.

“Uncle, aunty, I think that I must let you know about this. Remember when big brother said that he has a girlfriend now?” Qi Chengyue put on an act and said.

“Yes, any problem with that?” Xia Wenna answered Qi Chengyue’s opening cleverly.

“Big brother’s girlfriend is Song Yu,” Qi Chengyue said.

Xia Wenna’s hand that was holding the teacup jerked slightly and trembled so faintly that it was almost unnoticeable. However, she regained her composure right away.

“Song Yu? Are you referring to the one I’m thinking?” Xia Wenna’s expression became serious.

“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. I attended the gathering of Jixia High School today and heard rumors about it but I couldn’t believe it. I was planning to find big brother tonight to ask him, but I saw him carrying Song Yu on his back and entering the house. Aunty, can you imagine big brother piggybacking someone? I was shocked when I saw that. He chased me away after that. Looks like he’s very serious about Song Yu.”

Qi Chengyue took a sip of tea and posed in a righteous look, “I don’t have the liberty to tell others about big brother’s business. Nonetheless, everybody knew that Song Yu was previously engaged to fourth brother. Also, the bankruptcy of the Song family stirred up quite the news and all those within our circle knew about it. Now she’s with big brother, and if this goes out... there’s no guarantee of how nasty the rumors are going to be.

Furthermore, I’m the one managing the finances of the hotel infrastructures. However, big brother put me on leave and banned me from handling matters related to the hotel just because Song Yu and I had different opinions. Before this, big brother isn’t someone who mixes up his profession with his personal life.”

Xia Wenna listened quietly without saying a word. After Qi Chengyue finished, she said nonchalantly, “We’re aware of this.”

Qi Chengyue looked at Qi Zhongliang with an uncertain expression and proceeded to turn and look at Xia Wenna. Were they going to express their opinion instead of just a simple sentence like this?

However, she dared not say anything further as it may result in a counter-effect. She still could not judge the situation when she left.

After Qi Chengyue was gone, Xia Wenna and Qi Zhongliang went back to the bedroom. Xie Wenna asked, “What do you think about this?

“Chengzhi is not one that will cross the boundaries. About what happened to Qi Chengyue during work, just listen and forget about it,” Qi Zhongliang said as he changed into his silk pajamas.

“I’m not referring to that. I was talking about Song Yu. I’m not bothered about what happened at work as I believe in Chengzhi. Nevertheless, she did mention one thing right. Song Yu’s been engaged to Qi Chengji in the past, and now she’s with Chengzhi. After what happened to Chengze, mum and dad told us not to judge their status or force them into an arranged marriage anymore. Also, Chengzhi is already thirty-four years old and haven’t gotten a girlfriend yet. I’ll be thanking Buddha if he can get married and have kids regardless of the girl’s family background. However, to be with someone who was the fiancee of your own brother, this is...”

“If worse comes to worst, just introduce him to a few decent ones,” Qi Zhongliang replied.

...

...

On the second day, Qi Chengzhi sent Song Yu to the office. She went to the pharmacy and bought some morning-after pills during her lunch break.

He was not prepared when they did it in the car last night, and she had forgotten about it as well.

She heard that the morning-after pill could be taken within 72 hours after having unprotected sex. Hopefully, it would work.

When she got off from work that evening, Qi Chengzhi came to pick her up. Song Yu told him that she wanted to go back to her condominium. She was quite worried as it had been several days since she went home.

Qi Chengzhi glanced at her without a word. In the end, his Range Rover was parked at the basement of Song Yu’s condo.

When they opened the door, Song Yu thought of the keys and she could not help but ask him, “When are you returning my keys?”

“...”, Qi Chengzhi just went straight in and looked around her normal-sized condominium as if he was examining the place. His towering physique looked like as if he filled up the whole room. Finally, he entered the bedroom.

When Song Yu changed into her shoes and checked through the whole house to ensure that everything was fine, she followed him into the bedroom. She saw that Qi Chengzhi was staring at the drawer where she kept her lingerie.

His handsome face looked gentle from the side. The corner of his mouth was curved slightly—seemed like he was in a very good mood.

Then, his slender fingers picked up one of her panties and put it in his hands to examine carefully. It was smaller than both of his extended palms.

Song Yu’s face became flushed instantly. She ran over and snatched the panty from his hands, “What are you doing?”

“Can’t I have a look at it?” Qi Chengzhi chuckled and looked at her teasingly. A spark ignited in his mysterious black eyes when he sized her up from top to bottom, “I saw what you’re wearing inside this morning.”

Song Yu was so embarrassed that she unknowingly rolled the panty in her hand into a ball. The scene of a grown man holding such a skimpy panty was just too provocative.

Qi Chengzhi glanced at her, half-smiling, and circled his arms around in a swift movement. His burning palm pressed against her waist, where she was only wearing a thin shirt that she only wore indoors. He tightened his embrace and locked her in his arms.

He lowered his head. The lines on his lips looked softer as he curled his lips slightly. He pressed them at the corner of his eyes and nuzzled gently, “I didn’t expect you to keep the underwear that I bought last time.”

Song Yu lowered her head and saw the men’s underwear beside her own panties. She could feel her face started to burn immediately.

Qi Chengzhi closed the drawer and turned around to look at her. He circled her with both his arms around her waist and tightened them.

His head was kept lowered, with his burning lips grazing downwards slowly from the corner of her eye to her lips. He sniffed the refreshing scent of her lips as if he would never have enough of them.

He used the tip of his tongue to trace the corners of her lips deliberately, his hot breath wafted on the corner of her lips and cheek, “Since your tenancy is expiring within less than two months, come and stay with me. You’ve stayed at my place for a few nights. I’m sure you’re used to it by now?”

Song Yu did not want to act pretentiously. When she came to think about it, if she did not go over to his place, he would come to hers. There was no difference in doing that. This man would never let her live alone.

She kept this place without moving officially to Viewpark Residence was because she wanted to maintain her own independence.

However, she seemed to be more and more dependent on him as he was always around.

“Pack things up tonight and we’ll come over tomorrow to move the rest, hmm?” His voice sounded deep and smooth, soothing her heart in a way that comforted her.

Those slender, deft fingers pried open the lower hems of her shirt discreetly and crawled up the delicate skin on her back. They moved their way upwards bit by bit, grazing her skin with those rough finger beds. The sensation was so ticklish that it made her body shook violently.

Song Yu could not hold it in and whimpered. Her whole body collapsed in his embrace.

His lips were pressed against hers from the start. When she opened her mouth, the movement of her lips also rubbed against his.

“I was about to tell you that tomorrow is my dad’s birthday. I plan to go home and accompany my parents,” Song Yu said softly, her bright red cheeks felt tingly as if there were electricity coursing through them.

“The day after tomorrow then,” his tone was calm and determined, not allowing any further discussions on this issue.

Song Yu, “...”

At last, she started packing her luggage after his carrot-and-stick approach.

The first thing Qi Chengzhi went for was her lingerie. Song Yu stood aside and looked at him, speechless.

Both of them packed two luggage bags. Song Yu did not own much. She would not bring everything over as this was just a temporary living space.

After packing the two luggage bags, there was not much left. Only a few miscellaneous items remained unpacked. It would be easily cleared in one go if they come over on Sunday.

Qi Chengzhi met with Aunt Zhang who was living next door when he was loading the luggage into the trunk.

Aunt Zhang’s eyes were gleaming with a gossipy expression when she asked laughingly, “You guys are moving or going somewhere for holiday?”

Qi Chengzhi did not say a thing and just stood there in an extravagant stance. The reason he chatted with Aunt Zhang the last time was to get into Song Yu’s house. Since Qi Chengzhi had no demands this time around, there was no need to waste his breath.

Song Yu could not think of how to answer her. Aunt Zhang understood the whole situation when she saw Song Yu blushing, “Moving to live with your boyfriend?”

“Uh...uhm,” since she guessed it correctly, Song Yu did not hide further and said directly, “Aunt Zhang, my tenancy is due in two months time. I’ll drop by from time to time. Can you please look after the house for me when I’m not around?”

“No worries, I don’t sleep as much as before at this age of mine. I’m not a deep sleeper, I can hear even the slightest movement. I can guarantee that it’ll be taken care of when I’m at home,” Aunt Zhang said laughingly. She could not resist it and fixated her gaze on the Range Rover behind her.

“Wow, what a huge car! Definitely costs a lot right? What’s your boyfriend working as?” Aunt Zhang turned her focus onto Qi Chengzhi. This man exuded out an aloof aura that she had never encountered before.

Even the son-in-law of Lao Chen from building two that owned a company did not possess such elegance.

Song Yu withheld the truth from Aunt Zhang and just briefly skimmed through before bidding farewell.

Qi Chengzhi did not drive her back to Viewpark Residence, they went to a French restaurant instead. Song Yu felt that he must be having a great mood, or else they would not be having French cuisine. Although French dining was romantic and refined, it was very time-consuming. A meal might take several hours and Qi Chengzhi usually does not have that sort of patience.

While Song Yu was in the bathroom, Qi Chengzhi received a phone call from home. It was from Xia Wenna.

“Tomorrow?” Qi Chengzhi said stoically.

“Yes, I heard that Dynasty recently hired a three-star Michelin chef when I was playing mahjong today. They invented many new dishes. You haven’t come home for quite some time, let’s gather tomorrow and try out the new dishes at Dynasty,” Xia Wenna held the phone nervously while she waited for Qi Chengzhi’s reply. This son of hers was so intuitive that she was afraid he could sense something wrong through her tone.

Qi Chengzhi squinted his eyes and guessed that they probably planned a blind-date for him.

It was expected that Qi Chengyue went to gossip to Xia Wenna as she wished nothing but the worst for Song Yu. He would be rather suspicious if Qi Chengyue did not mention about it.

There would not be such a coincidence for Xia Wenna to call him today when he chased Qi Chengyue out yesterday night.

Nevertheless, since Xia Wenna did not want to tell him, he just played along.

“Okay, I’ll head over tomorrow,” Qi Chengzhi agreed.

Xia Wenna was relieved when she hung up the phone. Luckily he did not notice anything.

...

Song Yu woke up early the next morning. Qi Chengzhi was still sound asleep. Originally, he was holding her when they fell asleep but when she woke up, she flipped his arm and he followed the motion and turned on his back while sleeping.

He kicked the blanket off until it was only covering below his abdomen, revealing his muscular abs that looked rock solid. His arms were resting on his abdomen as he continued to sleep soundly.

Song Yu tiptoed over to his side after getting dressed. While asleep, his thin lips were closed relaxedly, but the lines were still sharp. His eyes looked much softer, probably due to the reason that it was closed, hiding away its intensity.

She indulged herself by looking at the man’s features while he was asleep. The more she looked, the more she found him flawless.

Some people looked good on the first impression. However, the more you look at them, you would easily discover the imperfections in their features. She could not find any blemishes on Qi Chengzhi’s face.

Song Yu could not help but stare at the gorgeous-looking face that softened up during sleep. She felt warm-hearted when she thought of him lying by her side every night, cherishing her so caringly in his arms.

She could not resist and lowered her head to plant a kiss on his soft, warm lips.

When she was about to get up, her waist was clamped down suddenly and fell right into Qi Chengzhi’s arms. When she looked up, her eyes met with a pair of bottomless pits.

It was obvious that she got caught red-handed stealing a kiss. Song Yu blushed in embarrassment. She dare not look at his eyes, not to mention his lips and ended up staring at his bare chest.

“When did you wake up?” She asked quietly with a flushed face.

“When you kissed me,” the corner of his lips curled slightly. His voice was raspy and sluggish as he had just woken up. It was as if every sound of his voice tickled her sensitive spot.

“...”, Song Yu was at a loss of words, the man’s voice was so pleasant and sinful at the same time.

“Do you like me that much?” Qi Chengzhi asked raspily. When Song Yu did not answer him, he hugged her closely with his strong embrace and pressed her against him. The burning thing between his legs embedded into hers, which twitched due to his sudden movements.

Song Yu’s whole body tightened as she took a deep breath, matching his with a gush of moisture.

“...”, Song Yu was so embarrassed that she could not utter a single word when she saw his teasing face. This man got such a nerve, the public was misguided by how the magazines described him as a calm and mature person.

She propped herself against the mattress beside him and struggled to get up, “Let me up first.”

Instead, Qi Chengzhi tightened his embrace and flipped over suddenly to pin her down on the bed. He pressed her soft body down and buried his face in her neck and inhaled, and continued to pepper her with kisses.

“Accompany me to sleep for a while more,” his face was buried in her neck when he said it. His burning lips grazed against her skin, the stubble that grew overnight scraped across her skin, which caused an itching sensation and a slight soreness.

“You’ve forgotten that I’m going home today,” Song Yu’s voice changed along with her rapid, shallow breathing. Her tummy contracted rhythmically together with his kisses.

“...”, Qi Chengzhi did not say a word. His burning palms slid to her ankles stealthily and hoisted her skirt up.

His thin lips worked its way up from her neck to the corner of her lips, where it gave a few pecks before moving on to the cheeks, the corner of her eyes, followed by her eyes, between her brows, and went back down along her nose. He kept rotating between these places for a few rounds but always avoided her lips.

Song Yu pouted her mouth and leaned forward to press against his lip line eagerly. She did not have second thoughts, some might even say that she was the initiating one.

Qi Chengzhi chuckled against her lips as if he was laughing at her eagerness.

Song Yu could feel his dextrous, slender fingers climb from her ankles to her waist and hook onto her pantyhose. With her eyes half-closed, she could feel the prominent bone structure of his fingers which was elegant and intricate.

Song Yu embedded all ten of her fingers onto his shoulders and could not say a word. She could only make whimpering sounds and moaned gently. Suddenly, she bit down on his shoulder in the middle of planting messy kisses.

“Qi Chengzhi!” Song Yu hummed.

Qi Chengzhi responded to her call by kissing her more passionately.

Song Yu could not resist and put her arms around his neck before biting into his lips and suck feverishly as if she was going to swallow his lips into her mouth.

“Ha!” Qi Chengzhi gave a throaty chuckle after seeing her reaction.

...

...

When Qi Chengzhi was all dressed up and left the house with Song Yu, his face looked rejuvenated.

Song Yu was beside him where she glanced at him with her wobbly legs. Looking at his mature, restrained demeanor, she thought to herself, ‘Who would think that he’s capable of such indecency in the bedroom this morning.’

Qi Chengzhi drove Song Yu home, but he parked the Range Rover at the entrance of the residence.

While Song Yu was releasing her seatbelt, she saw his hand on the gear with his slender fingers wrapped around it elegantly.

She turned around all of a sudden and placed her hands on his shoulders to prop herself up before giving a peck on the corner of his mouth, “Drive safe and take care.” Then, she proceeded to get down of the car hurriedly.

Qi Chengzhi’s gaze softened while he gazed at her back.

She always said this exact phrase almost every single time. He was really touched by her gesture.

Song Yu received a short text from Qi Chengzhi once she entered the building, “I’ll come over to pick you up tonight.”

It was as if he was worried that she would stay overnight. Song Yu replied to him with an “okay” with a blushing face as she recalled what happened in the morning. She felt that Qi Chengzhi had quite a demand in that area and wondered if the amount was normal.

She took out her keys to open the door when she arrived. She heard people chatting casually inside, but only one person spoke the majority of the time. She was curious about who else would come over.

She never expected it would be Jian Yi’s parents, Jian Shifu and Zhou Mingyan.

“Song Yu’s back!” Zhou Mingyan said laughingly.

Song Yu smiled and greeted them before sitting down.

Jian Shifu and Zhou Mingyan just arrived not long ago. Zhou Mingyan took the black purse beside her and placed it on her legs. The purse was quite bulky and it looked rather garish on her legs.

Song Yu glanced at it casually and saw that it was a Hermès Birkin bag. Jian Yi’s parents were just working-class people. Zhou Mingyan used to haggle prices when she bought groceries, how was it possible that she would purchase a bag that costs two years of their combined salary.

One would have known who gave this bag after giving some thought. However, the bag that Zhou Mingyan placed on her legs looked out of place as if a child was carrying an adult bag.

Zhou Mingyan caught onto Yu Qianying’s gaze and boasted laughingly, “Oh, Jian Yi’s fiancée gave it to me. I heard that this costs more than a hundred thousand. I told her that it was too expensive but she insisted on giving it to me.”

After saying that, she held the bag high up and shook her head while making clicking noises with her tongue, “Tsk, tsk... A bag like that costs more than a hundred thousand, such a scam isn’t it? Only that daughter-in-law of mine would be willing to pay for this. It could be that she’s the daughter of a millionaire so a hundred thousand means nothing to her.”
