After their lovemaking ended, Chen Zhou collapsed onto Zhou Jingxing, panting. Having escaped the heat, he suddenly remembered something and, without bothering to wash himself, grabbed his phone from the corner of the bed.

"I wonder if Bai Lian called just now because he had something to say." He said, about to call back.

Zhou Jingxing recalled the strange encounter in the woods tonight. He stopped Chen Zhou from dialing and asked, "You said Bai Lian came to your side to replace your original assistant? What position was he in before, and how did he end up working under you?"

Chen Zhou asked curiously, "Why are you asking this?"

Zhou Jingxing: "I'll tell you the reason later, answer me first."

Shen Zhou glanced at him curiously before saying, "You've met my former assistant before. She's on maternity leave. Bai Lian was just kicked out by his previous department head, who called him effeminate and made things difficult for him at work. I overheard him crying in the break room once, so I let him work for me for a few months until his former assistant comes back and I'll give him a different position."

Zhou Jingxing despises his wife, so he pretends to be pitiful in front of her!

It's shameless to take advantage of someone's kindness to hurt them!

“When I disappeared that night, I wasn’t actually going back to my room to handle work, but rather…” Zhou Jingxing told Shen Zhou the whole story of what he had seen that night.

"But they were too busy being affectionate to talk about the details of 'that thing' at all. I have no idea what they were plotting."

Shen Zhou's expression was complicated. "But the department head who bullied Bai Lian back then was Kyle."

Good heavens, what a self-inflicted injury ruse!

Zhou Jingxing's heart suddenly jumped. Would Shen Zhou believe what he said? After all, Bai Lian was really good at disguising himself and had made it seem like he had a grudge against Kyle first, while he had no evidence at all.

I should have brought my phone to take a couple of photos.

Zhou Jingxing looked at Shen Zhou nervously, afraid of hearing Shen Zhou defend Bai Lian and denounce him for spreading rumors.

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Zhou said, "Why did Kyle go to such lengths to arrange for Bai Lian to be by my side? Although we have a very bad relationship, we haven't had any conflicts of interest so far. I can't understand why he would do this."

Zhou Jingxing was still staring at him longingly, like a dog begging its owner for a treat.

Chen Zhou frowned and pondered, "Could it be that he wants to get some secrets from me? But Kyle has already gotten close to President Zhang, so how could he get the information before me?"

Zhou Jingxing cautiously reminded him, "Could it be because you have a good relationship with that General Manager Gao, and they want to break through through you and try to trip him up?"

Chen Zhou thought for a moment and said seriously, "That's possible. Anyway, whatever they want to do, they definitely don't have good intentions towards us."

Zhou Jingxing exclaimed in surprise, "Wife, you believe what I said?"

Chen Zhou asked in surprise, "How could I not believe you?"

Zhou Jingxing said with a hint of grievance, "Last time in the park you were angry with me because of Bai Lian, I thought you didn't believe me and believed him instead."

Chen Zhou chuckled, "That time I got angry because you were so jealous, always suspecting I was going to like someone else, and you didn't trust me at all!" He wrinkled his nose at Zhou Jingxing, who found him incredibly cute.

"Wife, you're so cute!" Zhou Jingxing opened his arms and hugged Chenzhou warmly. Chenzhou was thrown backward by his embrace and almost lost her balance and fell into the bed.

Shen Zhou's expression changed. "Don't move!" Zhou Jingxing ignored him. Shen Zhou actually believed him without hesitation. He was in a great mood and excitedly rubbed his cheek against Shen Zhou's face and neck.

Feeling the abnormality in his body, Shen Zhou was extremely embarrassed. He dared not move anymore, and grabbed Zhou Jingxing's hand urgently but whispered, "Go get some tissues... it's about to leak..."

Zhou Jingxing looked down and saw two dark finger marks on Shen Zhou's pale legs. The marks were now covered by his substance, which was trickling down to his knees.

Realizing his gaze, Chen Zhou shyly crossed her legs. "Stop looking. Go get me some tissues to wipe it up. Don't get the bed dirty."

“Tissues won’t get it clean; you have to get the inside out and wash it.” Zhou Jingxing put one hand under Chen Zhou’s shoulder and the other under his knees, and carried him toward the bathroom.

"Ah!" Chen Zhou exclaimed in surprise as he was suddenly lifted into the air. "Put me down... I'll drip onto the floor!"

Zhou Jingxing laughed, "So much! You're too greedy, wife."

Chen Zhou was furious. "What nonsense are you talking about? It's all your fault... What does it have to do with me!"

Zhou Jingxing kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you for your affirmation, my wife."

Shen Zhou couldn't do anything about his shameless behavior, so he turned his face away and let Zhou Jingxing carry him into the bathroom. Zhou Jingxing turned on the shower, and water droplets scattered everywhere. After landing, Shen Zhou subconsciously closed his eyes, letting the hot water flow over his body covered in marks.

Zhou Jingxing leaned in and gently cleaned him. Shen Zhou felt very comfortable and leaned in to kiss him tenderly. Zhou Jingxing felt a little hot from his kisses and his hands became unsteady, causing Shen Zhou to groan softly.

Zhou Jingxing simply lifted him up by the waist, and Chen Zhou fell backward against the wall, his groans being swallowed back by a passionate kiss.

Shen Zhou's thigh was draped over Zhou Jingxing's wrist, and in his daze, he touched his lower abdomen.

Zhou Jingxing stared at him, not missing a single reaction. "What's wrong? Does it hurt a little? Should we go slower?"

The rising steam in the bathroom made Shen Zhou's face look exceptionally beautiful. His eyes were red and moist, his gaze was pitiful, and his lips were delicate and red. Beads of sweat or water rolled down his cheeks and landed in the hollows of his collarbone, making Zhou Jingxing's eyes darken.

Chen Zhou looked at Zhou Jingxing, who was incredibly alluring. He pressed his stomach and said, "We're here..."

“…Damn it.” Zhou Jingxing’s rationality completely snapped. He lowered his head and kissed Chen Zhou, pressing hard against his inner thigh.

"Ugh! Why all of a sudden... um..."

The only answer he received was the continuous, gentle patter of flowing water...

Zhou Jingxing hugged Chen Zhou and dried his hair. The warm breeze blew gently over him, and Chen Zhou closed his eyes comfortably. He was so tired that he almost immediately lost consciousness.

Zhou Jingxing finished drying his hair and turned off the hairdryer. He looked down and saw that Chen Zhou had fallen asleep against him.

"Why are you sleeping like a kitten?" Zhou Jingxing chuckled, gently laying the sunken boat flat so he could sleep more comfortably.

"Jingxing," Chen Zhou whispered with his eyes closed, as if in a daze.

Zhou Jingxing wasn't sure if he was still awake, so he leaned closer to his lips and asked, "Hmm?"

Shen Zhou, without opening her eyes, precisely grabbed his hand. "Let's sleep together."

Zhou Jingxing chuckled softly, "I'll go put the hairdryer away for a bit." He added, "I'll be right back."

Chen Zhou held onto his hand tightly, displaying a rare childlike innocence, "No, just sleep with me now."

Zhou Jingxing chuckled, "Okay, okay, coming right away." He casually placed the hairdryer on the bedside table and reached out to hug Chen Zhou tightly. Chen Zhou snuggled closer to him, finally settling into a comfortable position.

Looking at his peaceful sleeping face, Zhou Jingxing felt extremely satisfied. He closed his eyes and soon drifted off to sleep as well.

The next day at breakfast, they inevitably ran into Kyle at the restaurant. At the noodle stall, Kyle looked at them with disgust, while Zhou Jingxing acted as if Kyle didn't exist. Only Shen Zhou remained calm, even greeting Kyle politely, "Kyle, good morning."

Kyle frowned. "What are you pretending for? Do you think I'll forgive you for ruining things between me and Lily?"

It took Zhou Jingxing a while to realize that Lili was his colleague who almost became a wife of a gay man. Without even looking at Kyle, he said to Shen Zhou, "Honey, you have to tell the manager. It's so annoying to have dogs barking in the restaurant so early in the morning."

Kyle was furious. "Zhou Jingxing, who the hell are you cursing?!"

Zhou Jingxing finally deigned to glance at him, "I've had a rabies vaccine, so I'm immune to you. You can't scare me."

The auntie cooked the noodles and placed them on the stall, but Kyle was so angry that he didn't even bother to serve them. He took a step forward and said, "If you keep swearing, I'll get rough with you!"

Seeing the tense atmosphere, the noodle stall owner shrieked, "Gentlemen, if you have any conflicts, please resolve them privately. Don't start fighting here!"

Shen Zhou smiled reassuringly at her, "We weren't planning to fight, my colleague was just joking. How could we possibly fight in front of everyone, even the bosses? Don't you think so, Kyle?"

Kyle was furious. "Don't threaten me! You provoked me first!"

Zhou Jingxing snorted coldly, "We greeted you politely, but you didn't know what was good for you and were the one who spoke disrespectfully to Shen Zhou first."

"Did I say something wrong?! Didn't Lili and I break up because of your nonsense?"

How shameless! He was the one who lied to the girl and broke up with her after she found out, yet he still dares to blame the person who exposed his lies!

Zhou Jingxing was about to argue with him when Chen Zhou grabbed his hand and looked coldly at Kyle. "Nonsense?" He snorted. "Since you think we've slandered you, why don't you ask President Zhang to explain to your ex-girlfriend?" His tone was full of sarcasm. "I just don't know if you dare."

Kyle's face turned red. He was counting on General Manager Zhang for a promotion and a raise, so how could he dare tell him that he had a girlfriend?

At this moment, Bai Lian walked over from the side. He greeted Zhou Chen gently, and then timidly said to Kyle, "Good morning, Manager Wang." After saying that, he shrank back behind Shen Zhou, looking very scared.

When Kyle saw Bai Lian, a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly put on an arrogant expression. "Shen Zhou, you really have no taste in people. You keep such a useless person by your side as an assistant. I heard he can't even do a simple report properly and you have to help him revise it?"

Bai Lian perfectly portrayed a character who dared not speak out against his anger. He secretly glanced at Chen Zhou and said, "Manager Wang, I'm trying my best to learn." He was truly a wronged yet strong little white lotus.

Even Zhou Jingxing subtly praised his excellent acting skills!

"You put such an important position as assistant to a useless person? No wonder you can't do things properly..." Kyle was still nagging about Bai Lian's incompetence and implying Shen Zhou's incompetence, while Bai Lian looked like a heartbroken little white flower. He stopped talking because he knew that Shen Zhou was soft-hearted and would definitely speak up for him and help him out, just like before.

Sure enough, Shen Zhou spoke up soon, but what he said shocked Bai Lian.

"What you said makes some sense. How about this, Xiaobai, I'll switch you to a different position for a while to learn. If you're still willing after that, you can come back to me as my assistant, how about that?"
