Chapter 65 Ending: "Alright, my love, only more, not less..."

The meal ended relatively early, and the relatives said their goodbyes one by one. Yi Sheng asked Bai Yeke, "Would you like to stay the night?"

Actually, this is where Yi Sheng used to live, and Bai Ye is very curious about it.

But now, she doesn't want to anymore.

Those past events must have left Yi Sheng with lingering resentment, which is why he moved away.

This old Yi family house, though beautiful, has lost its vitality.

"I want to go home." Bai Yeke said, holding Yi Sheng's hand.

The girl's expression softened and turned sad. Yi Sheng smiled faintly and simply agreed, "Okay."

Returning home, I was greeted by familiar scents and warmth.

Bai Ye took a deep breath, then hugged Yi Sheng again, planting a hickey on the woman's neck.

This is an emotion that is hard to describe.

Heartbroken and repressed, she couldn't bring up the past in front of Yi Sheng, fearing it would upset him. She desperately wanted to take good care of Yi Sheng to make up for and heal those past wounds, but she still didn't know where to start.

Yi Sheng let her suck until red marks appeared, a slight stinging sensation. Only after Bai Yeke pulled away a little did she rub Bai Yeke's head and ask, "You know?"

Bai Ye couldn't deny it, and her eyes immediately reddened. "Yes."

"Tsk." Yi Sheng sighed and chuckled, then deliberately put on a serious face, "It seems that Xiao Yang should be suspended for a while."

Bai Ye was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized that Yi Sheng was unhappy with Xiao Yang's private leak.

Perhaps, handling business matters in a professional manner is the foundation and principle of a mature company's operation.

But Bai Yeke still felt very guilty, "Don't—"

Yi Sheng took off his coat and hung it in the entryway, then pulled Bai Yeke inside, unable to help but laugh, "It's just giving her a break."

"Huh?"

"Come on our honeymoon," Yi Sheng said casually.

“…We’re not married.” Bai Yeke simply couldn’t keep up with her train of thought.

Yi Sheng pulled her down onto the sofa, wrapped his arms around Bai Yeke from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and held her hand up, revealing two small, sparkling rings. "Do you want to have a wedding?"

Actually, they have already come out to the world, so how can it not be considered marriage?

Others hold wedding banquets to invite relatives and friends, but neither of them had any real friends, let alone relatives. Bai Ye didn't think inviting her stepfather and his large group of hypocritical relatives was a happy occasion, and she figured that Yi Sheng inviting his own relatives wouldn't create any pleasant memories either.

So, the two of them are enough.

It would be better if there were more blessings, but it doesn't matter if there aren't.

Fortunately, there are still people in this world who, though unwilling to do anything wrong, have good intentions and make this world a better place.

Bai Ye asked for ten days of personal leave, claiming it was for her honeymoon. The store manager was taken aback, but since things hadn't gotten busy after the New Year, he turned a blind eye and agreed.

Since it was the final round, they were too lazy to travel too far, so they took a road trip in the surrounding cities.

That morning, they went to a nearby scenic spot to watch the sunrise. On their way back to the city, Bai Ye was drowsy and said, "I want to drink coffee."

"Why drink coffee? Go back to the hotel and get some more sleep." Yi Sheng felt sorry for her, but also had some other thoughts on her mind.

To prepare for the sunrise, they didn't sleep for more than a few hours. Since they were on vacation and not in a rush, it was the perfect time to take a nap. And once back in bed, how could they miss out on some exercise?

Bai Yeke instantly understood her little scheme and glared at her.

Yi Sheng couldn't help but laugh as he stared at her.

Bai Yeke also wanted to laugh, and compromised by whispering, "...Then let's drink cocoa."

“Oh…” Yi Sheng drawled out the word, her clear voice enunciating each syllable perfectly, “Coco.”

There is an indescribable subtlety hidden within its seriousness.

Bai Yeke simply turned her head to look out the window and happened to see a fast food restaurant. "Hey! That one! I like their cocoa!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Sheng quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road. "Okay."

Before getting out of the car, Yi Sheng pecked her on the cheek, "I love my Coco."

On a spring morning, a fine drizzle was falling.

Bai Yeke, feeling shy, quickly called out, "Hey! An umbrella!"

Yi Sheng pushed open the car door and jogged towards the fast food restaurant, her voice fading into the distance, "It's okay, I like being in the rain too."

The tone of his voice was full of laughter and teasing.

For a moment, Bai Yeke's vision blurred.

It seemed like they had returned to the beginning of their acquaintance, when Yi Sheng draped a coat over her shoulders and held an umbrella for her, doing good deeds in a cool and indifferent manner while subtly criticizing her for liking to get wet in the rain.

Not too far, not too close, unpredictable.

Even now, he still speaks in the same tone, but the sight of him jogging in the rain is so familiar and reassuring to her.

A short while later, Yi Sheng reappeared carrying a paper bag. At the same time, other girls passed by the store entrance and recognized her, "Miss Yi! Are you Miss Yi?"

Recently, the coming-out issue has caused quite a stir, and many people have taken photos of Yi Sheng and Bai Yeke.

Yi Sheng nodded slightly and started to run towards the car.

The three girls were surprised, and became even more excited when she responded. "Miss Yi, did you also buy breakfast from this shop? What is it? We want to buy the same thing too!"

Yi Sheng impatiently walked around him, tossing out, "Hot cocoa, bought for my wife."

Anyway, they're on their honeymoon, and she's still wearing the ring Bai Yeke gave her. Why can't she openly call him "wife"?

"Ah!" The girls cheered softly and raised their phones to capture the image of Yi Sheng running in the rain with a paper bag.

When Baiye saw her return, she asked curiously, "What are you talking about? They seem so excited."

"Heh, it's nothing." Yi Sheng smiled, but her tone was light and dismissive.

"Tch." Bai Yeke took the cocoa and drank it slowly.

Back at the hotel, while lying in bed scrolling through her phone, Bai Ye came across a small news item closely related to her—the very same one posted by a passerby earlier.

Three photos of Yi Sheng jogging.

The caption reads: "What an amazing love story! Miss Yi said she bought cocoa for her wife, but she was in such a hurry to leave, afraid the cocoa would get cold!"

?

!

Yi Sheng changed his clothes, crawled into bed, and hugged her. "What are you looking at?"

Bai Yeke pointed her phone at her, glaring at her shyly as she questioned, "What...what did you say to her?"

Yi Sheng laughed, "I'll buy cocoa."

"Anything else?"

"Give it to my wife."

"...Who's your wife?"

"Cocoa."

"..."

"Isn't that so?"

"……oh."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Yi Sheng pressed, wrapping his arms around her to prevent her from dodging, while kissing her ear and neck.

Until Bai Yeke's responses all became vague interjections.

The results of the competition came out quickly, and as expected, Bai Yeke won the championship.

At that time, they were still traveling.

The internet is buzzing with activity, with many female couples expressing their desire to buy the champion house they've partnered on.

Later, even the headquarters of Santen and the front desk of Liurun received inquiries. The company was both amused and exasperated, and then relayed the information to Yi Sheng.

The house is still owned by Yi Sheng.

Overwhelmed by the numerous messages, Yi Sheng decided to record a short video with Bai Yeke, saying, "Thank you for your support. We will not sell this house."

Yi Sheng's features are naturally cold, and she always appears expressionless in the leaked photos. In the video, when she looks at Bai Yeke, she smiles sweetly, "Because that is the home of my dreams."

The video went viral instantly after being uploaded to Bai Yeke's designer video account, with the comment section exploding with comments like "My dream home" and "So sweet and beautiful, I love them both!"

I thought that after uploading the video, things would quiet down for a while, but then I received a series of messages from Santen.

"What's going on? It's so late at night, why is there so much going on at your company?" Yi Sheng said impatiently, hugging Bai Yeke from behind. "Didn't your store manager promise you a vacation?"

"The final results are out. As mentioned before, the top six teams in this competition will form a 'Dream Family' team, with the champion serving as the captain. They will be directly under the Santen headquarters and may be stationed in stores as needed."

In other words, Baiye has to return to Santen's headquarters, and there may be a series of follow-up trips. He should strike while the iron is hot to warm up Santen's spring promotion.

"...No wonder your store manager gave you a day off," Yi Sheng said quietly.

So you must understand that Baiye is no longer a store, so whether or not it takes a holiday doesn't matter to you.

"Aren't you happy that I got promoted?" Bai Yeke said helplessly.

“…Happy.” Yi Sheng sighed, his words not coming from his heart.

The promotions within the Celestial Realm were nothing to Yi Sheng, who looked down on them. As for Bai Yeke's abilities and momentum, she would definitely be able to establish her own independent entity in the future.

Therefore, compared to that, Yi Sheng regrets even more that he can no longer stay away from work and spend more time with Bai Yeke.

As Bai Yeke begins to shine, her future holidays will definitely become fewer and fewer.

Bai Yeke wanted to laugh at Yi Sheng's expression, but deliberately put on a serious face. "If you love me, you should do what's best for me and let me work properly!"

"..." Yi Sheng pursed her lips, "Mm."

Bai Yeke suppressed a laugh and said, "Then let's go to sleep. We have to go back tomorrow morning."

"……oh."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Bai Yeke deliberately leaned close to Yi Sheng's ear and returned all of Yi Sheng's tricks from the past few days.

Yi Sheng was so tickled by her that he could feel it from his ears to his heart, and he could only surrender, "It means I love you!"

The honeymoon ended rather abruptly, and both of them felt a little reluctant to leave.

On the bed, Yi Sheng held Bai Yeke in his arms, not making many movements, just quietly enjoying the warmth of the embrace.

For some reason, I feel a little sentimental.

Bai Yeke poked Yi Sheng's chest with her finger, feeling a little stifled.

Yi Sheng's breathing gradually became heavy as she poked him.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the room quickly became more intimate.

Everything happened so naturally.

Kissing, hugging, caressing.

When it came to that point, Bai Ye was a little confused. Yi Sheng grabbed her hand and slowly guided her.

Yi Sheng's breathing became rapid and paused at times, and a vivid blush appeared on his usually pale face.

Bai Yeke was captivated and gradually took the initiative.

So this is what it feels like to be in this position.

If on ordinary days it's about fully venting emotions and physical exertion, leaving one exhausted, the feeling now is an uncontrollable flutter of the heart, a continuous sublimation of feelings.

Raindrops pounded against the window, their "pitter-patter" mingling with the woman's humming.

Afterwards, Bai Ye could hear her own breathing was equally heavy, her fingers were tired, but her whole body was filled with a tingling, pleasant sensation.

In a belated moment of rationality, they finally gave themselves completely to each other.

Bai Ye nestled in Yi Sheng's arms, kissing Yi Sheng's chin repeatedly, "Miss Yi."

"I love you."

"Mmm..." Yi Sheng's voice was unusually tired, "I love you too."

Bai Yeke's heart softened even more upon hearing this, and she smiled softly, "Really?"

"Hmm." Yi Sheng started to feel sleepy.

Bai Yeke persisted, "Then will you always love me like this? More than anyone else? More than I love you?"

Yi Sheng's eyelids drooped, and he hugged Bai Yeke even tighter. His voice gradually weakened, but his tone still carried a smile and a promise, "Okay, my love will only be more."
