Chapter 85 Yu Wu & Cheng Yi. Don't be in such a hurry.

So at this moment, Yu Wu understood: there are no two identical ringtones. The call this morning was clearly hers.

Last night's encounter was too intense; both of them had hickeys on their necks, impossible to hide. The group exchanged bewildered glances, and Ye Hongmian and Yu Jianting's probing and questioning looks made Yu Wu feel as if she had been caught in the act.

It wasn't until Cheng Yi returned to the house, grabbed a coat for her, and put his arm around her shoulder that he politely addressed Ye Hongmian again: "I'm sorry, I should have visited your parents earlier. Let me introduce myself, Cheng Yi, Yu Wu's boyfriend."

Ye Hongmian let out a long "Oh," her gaze still lingering between Yu Wu and Cheng Yi's necks. Yu Wu coughed awkwardly and asked her parents if they had eaten; she was hungry.

Ye Hongmian seemed to wake from a dream, unconsciously muttering "yes, yes, yes, eat," before pulling Yu Wu to the living room sofa and urgently asking a series of questions in a low voice.

When did you meet?

"You were together last night?"

"What's this boy like? Is his family the Cheng family in the north of the city?"

What are your plans?

"...Are you living together?"

......

Meanwhile, Cheng Yi was being gently "interrogated" by Yu Jianting in the open kitchen. He quickly rushed to the refrigerator and politely said, "Uncle, let me do it. You can try my cooking too."

Yu Jianting adjusted his glasses, replied "Okay," looked Cheng Yi up and down, chuckled, and asked, "How long have you and Yu Zi been together?"

Hearing this question, Ye Hongmian, who was on the sofa, also leaned over to listen.

As Cheng Yi skillfully took out croissants, butter, shrimp, eggs, and other ingredients from the refrigerator, he replied, "We've known each other for quite a while now, but today is the first day we're officially together."

Seeing Yu Jianting staring at the croissant, he explained, "This is what Yu Zi wanted to eat last night. What would Uncle and Auntie like to eat? Are there any dietary restrictions?"

Ye Hongmian and Yu Jianting were very satisfied with Cheng Yi's skillful cooking, their eyes filled with admiration. Ye Hongmian quickly said, "There are no dietary restrictions, Xiao Cheng, just cook whatever you like."

She was initially a little disappointed, worried that Yu Wu would miss out on Ke Yanchen and wouldn't be able to find another tall, handsome boy from a good family like him. But Yu Wu surprised her by throwing a bombshell at her.

Cheng Yi smiled and answered, rolling up his sleeves to reveal his strong, muscular forearms. While dealing with Yu Jianting and Ye Hongmian's probing questions, he methodically prepared breakfast. After preparing the ingredients, he put shrimp, lettuce, and eggs into a croissant, squeezed on some salad dressing, and sprinkled it with black pepper and chopped parsley. A delicious and visually appealing croissant was ready. He asked about preferences and then made several more with different flavors.

...

Breakfast was plentiful. Besides several croissants, Cheng Yi had also pan-fried steak, washed blueberries, sliced ​​bananas, and prepared nuts, all arranged on separate plates. Finally, he heated up milk for Ye Hongmian and the other woman, and then took fresh milk from the refrigerator, pouring a glass for Yu Wu and himself.

Yuwu took it from his hand and drank it in small sips.

Ye Hongmian had been observing Cheng Yi closely. Cheng Yi had been busy all morning, and Yu Wu was quite used to this dynamic. The boy knew his daughter's interests perfectly well and was very familiar with the family; in her heart, she had already given Cheng Yi a passing grade.

During breakfast, Ye Hongmian didn't stop eating. She kept asking questions as she ate. Yu Jianting tried to stop her several times, but Ye Hongmian was too impatient and couldn't be stopped. She even asked about the history of Cheng Yi's family's rise to power, spanning eighteen generations.

"Do you have any plans for the future with Yuko?"

"What can you offer Yuko? If we get married, will we need to sign a prenuptial agreement?"

"Can you make decisions for your parents?"

...

"How good is your parents' relationship? How did they meet?"

What exactly do your father and mother do?

"You made your fortune during the Republic of China era? What did you do back then?"

"How are the family assets divided? How much will you give Yuko if they get married?"

Yu Wu stopped Ye Hongmian several times, mainly because she felt it was impolite to talk while eating on their first meeting, especially since many questions involved private matters. However, Cheng Yi was exceptionally kind, showing no arrogance or impatience, and each time he put down his cutlery to answer her questions earnestly. Noticing that Ye Hongmian's milk was empty, he even got up to refill it.

While Cheng Yi was in the kitchen, Yu Wu stood up and said she was going to get some seasonings. She moved behind Cheng Yi and couldn't help but secretly pinch his waist clockwise while glaring at him.

In a soft, breathy voice, say, "You brought this on yourself!"

Cheng Yi seemed completely oblivious to the pain, his expression cold and wicked as he replied in a drawn-out tone, "Guess who was being tortured this afternoon."

Yu Wu's mouth formed an "O" shape as she watched him calmly walk past her.

......

After dinner, Cheng Yi made tea for her and then sat on the sofa to endure several more rounds of questioning until Ye Hongmian was completely thirsty before the session finally ended.

Ye Hongmian was initially dissatisfied with Cheng Yi and Yu Wu for moving in together too quickly, feeling that the boy was immature. However, after this conversation, she finally stopped finding fault with him.

Finally, Yu Wu was asked to go home in the afternoon, and it was arranged that Cheng Yi's family would visit the Yu family the day after tomorrow.

After seeing Ye Hongmian and the other person off, Yu Wu stomped on Cheng Yi's foot again. He smiled and pulled her tightly into his arms.

"I want a formal status." His voice was hoarse and sticky, and he spoke with extra seriousness.

Yu Wu's previously furious heart suddenly softened completely. To be honest, it was true that she had never given him a formal title.

He began kissing her passionately, pulling her into his arms and leading her into the bedroom. He pushed her down onto the bed, rubbing against her, forcefully pushing her clothes up, and began licking her haphazardly until his hot breath and panting reached her. Before Yu Wu could react, he had already pressed himself against her forcefully.

Through his gentle actions, she could sense his attempt to please her.

She endured it all, her eyes glistening with the gentle light of spring water, until he gradually intensified his assault. She arched her back, trembling and sobbing, pleading with him, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

Cheng Yi was overwhelmed by a surge of possessiveness, and his actions became increasingly ruthless. After being ravaged by blood, Yu Wu drifted back to the human world in a daze, but he refused to let her go. Yu Wu's nails, in a state of despair, dug fiercely into his shoulder.

*

The weather is great today. The sky is azure, cloudless, and the sun feels warm on your skin.

In the afternoon, Cheng Yi took Yu Wu to the Yu family home. The car wound its way along the stone-paved road and through the iron gate, the scenery along the way was beautiful. Before long, a white building came into view.

The car stopped at the entrance, and Yu Wu got out, crossed her arms, and asked him, "Are you really not going in?"

Cheng Yi was adamant about this. He casually propped his head up with his hand and glanced at her indifferently. "I'll come for a formal visit the day after tomorrow. Let's go, I'll watch you go in."

Yuwu nodded at him, said goodbye, and then walked alone along the green path into her house.

Because of the nice weather, Yu Jianting and Ye Hongmian were sunbathing in the courtyard. Ye Hongmian turned her head and noticed Yu Wu's figure behind her, teasingly asking, "So you've finally decided to go home?"

Yu Wu's face flushed, and she walked over in a few steps, lay down on the rocking chair, feeling warm all over, and closed her eyes contentedly.

Yu Jianting poured tea for Yu Wu, while Ye Hongmian stared intently at the silk scarf around Yu Wu's neck. "Is your neck cold in this weather?"

Yu Wu lowered his head and drank his tea, mumbling a few words.

Ye Hongmian, with an expression that said nothing but understood, patted Yu Wu's hand and said, "Tell me, what are you thinking? I think that boy is quite sincere, and the way he's familiar with your house doesn't seem like it's their first day living together."

Yu Wu coughed twice, almost choking, startled by Ye Hongmian's keen observation. Forcibly suppressing a few barely perceptible awkwardness, she turned her head to look into Ye Hongmian's eyes, pursed her lips, and said, word by word, "I'm serious, the kind of person who's aiming for marriage."

Ye Hongmian and Yu Jianting exchanged a glance, then burst into laughter, their eyes crinkling with joy.

The sun was warm and gentle, and the sounds of her parents' laughter filled her ears. Yu Wu felt the warmth of the hot tea she had just drunk, her cheeks glowed with a soft, comfortable feeling, her lips curved into a smile, and her earlobes were slightly red.

The following conversation was quite heartwarming. Ye Hongmian remarked that Yu Wu was finally getting married, and at the same time shared some of her experiences on how men and women get along.

Yu Jianting listened from the side, occasionally interjecting a few words. When the tea was finished, he refilled it and then squeezed some orange juice to bring to the mother and daughter. When the time was up, he greeted the aunt and went to the kitchen alone to cook for the mother and daughter.

......

Yu Wu stayed overnight.

She rarely came to this room, and when she followed Ye Hongmian into the room, she discovered that there were many more things in the room.

There are many cute dolls, and the wardrobe is full of washed winter clothes, including more than ten sets of pajamas.

She casually chose a set of pajamas to take a shower. After showering, she dried her wet hair with a towel as she walked out. Her gaze fell on a small, warmly lit landscape feature embedded in the wall, and she stopped. Her long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly as she walked closer to examine it.

A section of the wall was hollowed out, revealing a warm, orange light shining through. Inside was a miniature world—the home of a teddy bear. A little teddy bear lay on the bed, its eyes crinkling with a smile. The room was fully furnished, with meticulous attention to detail, creating an immediate sense of security.

Her heart felt warm and cozy, and the corners of her lips unconsciously turned up in a smile. She reached out her fingertips and touched the head of the teddy bear in the miniature landscape, letting out a few soft laughs.

I couldn't help but want to stay here for a few more days.

She lay down on the bed, rolled around a few times, and began to look forward to the Cheng family's visit the day after tomorrow. She also thought about her plans for the New Year, intending to stay at home and rest to gain weight... Just thinking about these things made her feel very happy.

It turns out that the happiness she had been searching for had always been right beside her.

*

Before they knew it, the day for the Cheng family's visit arrived.

Yu Wu was dragged out of bed early by Ye Hongmian for breakfast. The housekeeper was finishing up her last bit of work when she learned that Yu Wu was meeting the groom's parents today. She congratulated Yu Wu a few times. Yu Wu smiled and responded. She ate a mouthful of porridge at the table, while Ye Hongmian hurriedly watched from the side, urging her to eat faster and go get ready to change.

After completing all the preparations, Yu Wu and the others sat on the sofa and waited.

Ye Hongmian couldn't help but urge again, "Yu Zi, check where Xiao Cheng and the others are?"

Yu Jianting interrupted her, "Hey, don't rush me like that. Watch some TV."

"How can you concentrate on TV? You don't seem to care at all!"

"Oh dear, how could I not care? I got up early this morning to prepare."

"I see you're not paying attention to anything. I told you to wear that shirt, why didn't you—"

The doorbell rang, and the three of them looked towards the door.

Ye Hongmian quickly straightened her clothes, Yu Jianting adjusted his glasses, and Yu Wu got up to greet the guests.

......

Shi Muqi remained elegant, having toned down her usual sharp, strong-woman aura. She wore a simple, understated coat, exuding gentle grace, and a kind smile graced her face.

The father-in-law exuded a powerful aura and appeared stern and unsmiling. He nodded slightly to the Yu family as a greeting, his entire demeanor radiating a sense of composure and maturity honed by the passage of time.

Cheng Yi, on the other hand, was dressed exceptionally simply today. He wore a blue and white shirt with a gray cashmere vest, and a black overcoat on top, looking every bit the intellectual, engineering type, and refined young nobleman, exuding the elegant demeanor cultivated over many years by a powerful family.

Yu Wu cursed him as a scheming man at first glance, but he was also drawn to her like a magnet, and she couldn't help but keep stealing glances at him.

Actually, he's quite handsome.

......

The two families had agreed beforehand that it was just a regular visit to get acquainted, and the conversation went very well; no marriage-related matters were discussed.

After chatting for a while, Cheng Yi showed great interest in the brick walls and lighting fixtures of the house. Seeing that Cheng Yi was interested in their home's decoration, Ye Hongmian was secretly proud of her high-end taste and asked Yu Wu to show him around.

Yu Wu couldn't sit still any longer, so she excitedly took him to her bedroom and showed him the small, warm-lighted landscape feature that had been added to the wall.

"Isn't it beautiful? My mom specially commissioned someone to make this, and I love it!"

"It's not pretty." Cheng Yi glanced at the lone teddy bear, as always, and disappointedly pulled her forward into his arms, affectionately breathing warm air on her neck. He felt a fire burning inside him, surging and suffocating.

Their eyes met, their breaths mingled, their bodies pressed together, and it seemed like they could cross the line at any moment.

She scolded him, "...What are you doing? Let go of me."

"I thought you'd already made it quite clear by bringing me to the bedroom." The man's face drew closer and closer, almost nose to nose. He raised an eyebrow and stared at her, his dark, unwavering pupils filled with intense focus.

"You scoundrel!" Yu Wu glared at him. Just now, this guy kept inadvertently veerging into conversations about furniture brands, making her believe that Cheng Yi genuinely liked her home's decorating style. The unfathomable black pupils of the man before her seemed to possess a seductive quality, making her breath hot and drawing her into a quagmire of desire.

Cheng Yi pinned Yu Wu down on the bed, forcibly restrained her hands, and swiftly lifted the silk scarf before leaning in for a forceful kiss, his attack fierce.

Her parents were on the first floor, and she didn't dare to shout loudly, so she could only breathe heavily and try to avoid him.

......

After a long while, Cheng Yi looked completely satisfied, while Yu Wu, her face flushed, straightened her collar and, before leaving, gave him a vicious stomp on the foot.

"Are you satisfied now? I'm completely on your side!"

"It only counts if you have a marriage certificate."

"Keep dreaming!"

He let out a muffled laugh, then resumed his refined and elegant demeanor, and led Yu Wu downstairs to the living room.

Holding hands in front of her parents for the first time, Yu Wu felt a strange nervousness. The man beside her continuously provided her with warmth, and her heart strangely calmed and softened. She smiled and asked everyone if they should start preparing dinner.

What followed was harmonious, filled with laughter.

After seeing the Cheng family off, Ye Hongmian breathed a sigh of relief and casually remarked to Yu Jianting, "I didn't expect the Cheng family to be so easy to get along with; they don't have that kind of arrogance that rich people have."

"That's because they value Yuko."

Ye Hongmian snorted and asked Yu Wu if she was going to work tomorrow. After receiving an affirmative answer, she glanced at her sideways and said, "Go back to your place tomorrow. You two should get along well."

Yu Wu obediently responded twice, then talked with her parents for a while before returning to her room to send a message to Cheng Yi.

I'm going home tomorrow, pick me up after work.

A few seconds later, the phone rang, and Yu Wu answered it.

The surroundings were quiet, and his voice was muffled, crackling with electricity.

"I can't sleep."

"What's wrong?"

A few breaths later, Yuwu called out to him, "Xiao Yi?"

"You're not here with me."

Yu Wu burst out laughing, her chest heaving with laughter. After a while, she stopped, her voice soft as if she were coaxing a child.

"Xiao Yi, be good. I'll be back soon."

"…Um."

"Xiao Yi, I miss you too."

"…Um."

"Xiao Yi, I'm going to sleep now. You should go to sleep early too."

"…good."

"Xiaoyi."

"Um?"

“Actually…” Yu Wu paused deliberately, “you’re a little bit of a closet pervert.” After saying that, she immediately hung up the phone and chuckled to herself under the covers on the bed.

The petty person on the other end of the phone is probably sulking.

...

The next day at noon, Cheng Yi personally delivered lunch.

Yu Wu had deliberately invited him to a restaurant near the company, but when she saw him in the company cafeteria, she couldn't help but grit her teeth. This guy was doing it on purpose; he deliberately wanted the whole world to know he was her boyfriend!

Even from a distance, Yu Wu recognized Cheng Yi.

With broad shoulders and a tall, upright figure, he seemed to stand out from the crowd. He was naturally handsome and outstanding, and his every move exuded nobility, drawing the attention of men and women passing by.

Yu Wu was certain that news about her relationship would appear in every employee's chat log this afternoon.

Cheng Yi seemed completely oblivious to the stares of others. He pulled Yu Wu down to sit, and while opening the lunchbox, he casually said, "My mom made this. Try it. If you don't like it, we'll find another restaurant."

One lunchbox after another was opened, revealing a total of six dishes and a soup. The cuisine was her favorite spicy Sichuan food, all of which looked and smelled delicious, making one's mouth water.

Yu Wu took a bite of the coriander beef and almost spat it out because it was so sour. Not wanting to criticize Cheng Yi's mother's cooking in front of him, she could only force herself to eat the next dish.

Cheng Yi's eyes were dark, and he asked with a forced smile, "Is the beef delicious?"

Yu Wu lied through her teeth: "It's alright."

He gazed at her and said slowly, "I did it on purpose."

Before Yu Wu could react, he calmly took a sip of water and said, "Who told you to call me a repressed pervert?"

Yuwu: "..."

I've never seen such a petty person.

He curled his lips into a languid, calm tone. Even though Yu Wu's eyes were practically spitting fire, he still maintained a wicked and nonchalant demeanor, as if he were teasing her.

......

When Yu Wu returned home that evening, Cheng Yi went to the kitchen to put out the milk he had just bought. Yu Wu went back to her bedroom to change her clothes, but after taking only a few steps, she paused, tucked a stray hair behind her ear, and a smile slowly crept onto her lips.

A small, warm-lighted landscape feature has been added to the bedroom wall.

The little bear in the landscape has turned into two, one wearing a pink bow and the other wearing a blue hat. The two sit together on the sofa, looking up at the starry sky.

She was so engrossed in watching that her eyes welled up with tears. Someone embraced her shoulder and placed a wet kiss on the back of her hand.

She turned her head to the side, and Cheng Yi's profile was reflected in the warm orange light of the landscape. His dark pupils were deep and focused, and his voice was low and magnetic as he slowly said, "This is the best-looking one."

She smiled and nodded emphatically. Suddenly being lifted up, the sudden feeling of weightlessness made her instinctively hold onto his neck. Cheng Yi walked steadily, leading her step by step into the shower room.

His unfathomable pupils were filled with churning desire, and his slender fingers began to unbutton her clothes, his breathing gradually becoming rapid.

The situation then began to spiral out of control.

He ripped her coat off in a flash, and they kissed passionately. The shower was spraying water, the air was humid, and she could hardly breathe. She couldn't escape his burning body; he was relentlessly ravaging her.

Yu Wu felt hot all over, her voice trembling and out of tune as she pleaded with him, "...Don't be in such a hurry."

Without pausing for a moment, Cheng Yi gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, "It's been three days already."

I haven't touched you for three days.

"Cheng Yi!" Yu Wu gripped his forearm tightly, but ultimately could not prevail, her mind becoming hazy.
