They chatted for a while longer before Qiu Hu said goodbye and turned to leave. There she saw Ning Yizhan looking at her with a serious expression.

Qiu Hu knew without a doubt that the man was jealous.

Ning Yizhan glanced at her with an inscrutable expression and walked away, and Qiu Hu naturally followed after him.

After catching up with her, I followed behind her and shouted, "What's wrong? Are you angry? You know I'm looking for them because of Zhao Shi."

Ning Yizhan didn't stop walking. Of course he knew it was because of Zhao Shi, but he was just annoyed and wanted to vent his frustrations. "No wonder you told me last night that Zhao Shi's brother was coming to pick you up. So it was him. You two seemed to be having a good time chatting. Aren't you going to continue? Why did you come all the way here?"

Good heavens, this is so sour!

"What? Why are you happy? What did you see?"

"You're still not happy? Why don't you turn around and go back to have a more pleasant chat!"

Qiu Hu was about to continue explaining when the lights in the banquet hall dimmed, the birthday song started playing, and a group of people gathered around the stage as Zhao Shi made a wish.

She quickly grabbed Ning Yizhan, preventing him from leaving. He was heading towards the banquet hall entrance, and she said softly, "Don't rush off. Let's celebrate his birthday together before we go."

Ning Yizhan interpreted these words as coquettishness, so he stopped in his tracks.

Why are you so soft-hearted towards her?

After the cake was cut on site, Zhao Shi personally brought her a piece of cake, obviously forgetting about Ning Yizhan's. He touched his nose and walked away embarrassedly.

Ning Yizhan didn't care. He was probably used to being angered by Qiu Hu, and he didn't care about other people.

Qiu Hu comforted him, "It's okay, we can have a piece together." She knew Ning Yizhan didn't like sweets, and she didn't want to eat anything too sweet at night either, so it was perfect for the two of them.

She picked up a bite with her fork and held it to Ning Yizhan's lips, saying, "Here," but Ning Yizhan turned his face away and avoided it.

Damn it, Qiu Hu got angry and let him go when he saw that he wouldn't eat. She ate the cake herself, then picked up a bite and put it to his mouth, saying harshly, "If you don't eat, I won't coax you anymore. You can just die of jealousy and anger by yourself."

Ning Yizhan: She's so fierce. Not only does she not want to coax him, but she also threatens him not to get angry.

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, so he opened his mouth and ate it. After that, no matter how many bites Qiu Hu fed him, he ate them all. In this way, Qiu Hu ate one bite, and he ate one bite, until the cake was finished.

After the banquet, Zhao Shi came over to say goodbye, "Sister, are you going back?"

"Yes, goodbye, and happy birthday again!"

Zhao Shi glanced at Ning Yizhan and remembered that Ning Yizhan had been surrounded by a group of businessmen and must have been drinking. She couldn't drive. Besides, he didn't know that Qiu Hu wasn't staying at Jin Yin Bay right now, and A Yi had also been drinking, so he definitely couldn't take her home. He asked with concern, "Sister, do you want me to ask my brother to take you home? President Ning has already been drinking."

“I didn’t drink,” Ning Yizhan emphasized. “Besides, didn’t you know there’s such a thing as a driver?”

Moreover, he deliberately didn't drink today; those people kept trying to get him to drink, but he refused.

In the end, without even glancing at Zhao Shi, he pulled Qiu Hu into the car. Ning Yizhan hadn't brought a driver today; he had planned to spend the night in the car with Qiu Hu, even driving his own private car. But now, there was no romance. He returned to Guyue Garden in silence, with Qiu Hu following helplessly behind him.

Qiu Hu waited for him to speak, but he didn't say a word.

Back home, Ning Yizhan changed his shoes, immediately went back to the guest room, closed the door, and loosened his tie.

Are you really angry?

Qiu Hu followed him into his room, only to find that he had already gone in to take a shower, so she had no choice but to leave.

Back in the master bedroom, sitting on the edge of the bed, she felt that tonight couldn't just end like this; she had to explain things to him clearly. So she began to keep a close eye on the sounds around her.

Fifteen minutes later, she heard the door next door open, so he must have come out. Thirty seconds later, she followed him out and saw Ning Yizhan finishing his water and preparing to return to the guest room. When he saw her, Ning Yizhan was clearly stunned.

Seeing that Ning Yizhan ignored her, she took the initiative to explain: "I said yesterday that Lin Ning would come to pick you up on purpose to make you angry. Today, I only talked to him about Zhao Shi and nothing else."

Ning Yizhan replied calmly, "Yes, I know."

"Then don't be angry."

"I'm not angry," Ning Yizhan said, trying to walk past her back to his room, but as he passed her, the woman grabbed him and hugged him tightly.

“You’re clearly angry! You’re not usually like this.” Qiu Hu couldn’t stand Ning Yizhan like this. She felt a little uncomfortable and aggrieved. Without waiting for him to continue answering, she stood on tiptoe, hugged his neck, and pressed her lips to his still moist lips after drinking water.

The man, unusually, did not respond to her, but waited quietly to see how far she would go.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Qiu Hu couldn't help but bite his lip. "What do you want?"

But all I got in return were two words: "Not enough."

“…Then you do it.” Ning Yizhan usually takes the initiative.

"You said it," Ning Yizhan said, looking down at her with suppressed emotion. Then he lifted her up by her hips and pulled her close to him. Her white long dress draped up and down, contrasting with her black silk pajamas. He used one hand to press Qiu Hu's head down, their noses touching, their hot breaths mingling. "Just don't regret it."

Qiu Hu understood everything. She had fallen into a trap, like a lamb entering a tiger's den; she had delivered herself into the trap.

It turned out that her hands were wrapped around the man's neck, and when he hugged her, her body pressed tightly against him.

Without giving her any time to think, he tilted his head slightly and captured her lips. She wanted to respond, but the man didn't give her the chance and pulled away from her lips.

Before she could even accuse him, he kissed her again, and the next few kisses were the same.

After much commotion, Qiu Hu chased after him after he left, hugged his neck tightly, and kissed him, not letting him leave easily.

Something was wrong. The man started to take the initiative, kissing her more intensely than before, repeatedly ravaging her, prying open her teeth, and probing inside.

She started walking and headed towards the master bedroom.

Ning Yizhan laid her down on the bed, his lips never leaving hers, his hands resting on her waist, groping and gently kneading, she could feel the warmth of his hands even through her clothes.

Finally, he released her, their breaths mingling. Qiu Hu's cheeks were flushed, her hands hanging limply on the bed, her voice alluring and intoxicating, "It was on purpose."

Ning Yizhan only let out a magnetic "hmm," then lowered his head to gently kiss her neck. Each kiss landed on her heart, making her feel restless and itchy.

The man continued downwards, his clothes getting in the way, and a "rip" was heard.
