The kiss quickly escalated beyond control, and if someone hadn't come over, things might have gone awry.

"Continue at home."

Zhou Jingming pursed his lips meaningfully before getting into the driver's seat and starting the accelerator.

Su Xi looked at the man's profile. His sharply defined features were like a sculpture. He was truly handsome, and his charismatic yet wicked aura exuded nobility and elegance.

He was dressed in a white shirt and looked refined and elegant.

Black looks powerful.

Su Xi had never seen anyone wear black so well. The pure black was solemn and upright, and the aura emanating from him was restrained and gentle.

She was completely mesmerized by that one glance!

Zhou Jingming looked at her through the rearview mirror and their eyes met. "Looking at me so intently makes me think you've fallen in love with me."

Su Xi was taken aback.

Realizing what had happened, I quickly looked away.

"Who's looking at you? Stop being so narcissistic."

Even though she said that, her ears were burning. Despite the air conditioning being on in the enclosed space, she felt stuffy and unable to breathe.

Seeing her blush so deeply, Zhou Jingming was in an extremely good mood.

Neither of them spoke, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.

Su Xi dared not look at him anymore, but her heart remained restless for a long time.

Su Xi only came to her senses after the man said "We've arrived."

Looking outside, the car stopped in front of an unfamiliar villa. Su Xi blinked suspiciously, "Where is this?"

Zhou Jingming didn't say anything, but after getting out of the car, he handed her a key.

Su Xi couldn't fathom his thoughts at all. "What is this?"

"Open."

The man gestured to the door opposite.

Although Su Xi had doubts, she still followed his instructions and inserted the key.

With a click, the door opened.

Zhou Jingming took her hand and walked inside.

The villa is decorated in a European style and has an incredibly large area, roughly estimated to be around 10,000 square meters.

The two passed a viewing pond where expensive koi of various colors swam happily in the water.

Su Xi was startled by what she saw. When she arrived at the hall, two rows of bodyguards stood at the door and bowed respectfully to them, saying, "Young Master and Young Madam, welcome home."

go home?

Su Xi looked at the man and asked, "Where exactly is this place?"

"Our new house." Zhou Jingming led her into the hall, and Su Xi was stunned by the magnificent decoration.

"No, isn't it perfectly fine for us to live in the Zhou family villa?"

No wonder the man suddenly gave her the keys; it turns out he had bought a villa behind her back.

Zhou Jingming sat down on the sofa and pulled her onto his lap. He said in a hoarse voice, "Mom kicked us out, saying it would affect her and Dad's old age romance, and that we should live on our own."

"From now on, the two of us will live here, and we will never have to worry about anyone disturbing our time together again."

As Zhou Jingming said this, he breathed hot air into her ear in an ambiguous manner.

Su Xi shuddered and almost collapsed into his arms. "The luggage hasn't been moved over yet."

Zhou Jingming's hand ran through her hair, caressing it wantonly. "I've already had the maids tidy it up for you. It's all in the master bedroom on the second floor."

Su Xi was quite surprised.

She's only been gone for a day, what has happened?

In a moment of distraction, her body suddenly felt suspended in mid-air as the man picked her up. "Tonight, we'll sleep here."

Su Xi's heart pounded wildly. She suddenly felt that Zhou Jingming had been planning this all along, deliberately bringing her here to provoke her and try to tempt her into committing a crime.

She used to be able to play along with him, but now, being aroused by him like this, she felt her whole body burning up.

When was it bought?

She feigned calmness, her voice surprisingly gentle.

Zhou Jingming carried her upstairs, kicked open the master bedroom door, and placed her on the bed. "A couple of days ago."

Su Xi looked around the master bedroom. The warm yellow light made the surrounding environment particularly ambiguous. There was also a large bouquet of red roses on the bedside table, and the fragrance of the flowers wafted over.

Zhou Jingming presented her with red roses, his gentlemanly and romantic demeanor resembling that of a royal prince.

Su Xi was momentarily stunned.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Jingming gently flicked her forehead.

Su Xi snapped out of her reverie and shook her head. "No, the flowers are beautiful, I like them very much."

She's really crazy.

She had just been hoping that Zhou Jingming would propose to her!

"If you like it, I'll bring it to you every day from now on." After saying that, Zhou Jingming leaned down and kissed her.

He only took a quick sip before releasing her, saying, "I'll go to the wine cellar and get a bottle of red wine. You go take a shower and wait for me in bed."

Su Xi swung her hand and punched him, "Go now."

The man chuckled softly, then turned and walked out of the master bedroom.

When he reached the door, he stopped and took a heart-shaped red gift box from his trouser pocket and opened it.

He had been preparing this ring for a long time, waiting for the right opportunity to give it to her.

Despite being together for so long, she still couldn't see his true feelings.

Proposing to her rashly will only push her further away.

Zhou Jingming sighed, put the ring away, and took the elevator down to the wine cellar to get the wine.

Su Xi didn't go to take a shower right away, but sat on the bed in a daze.

My heart is still beating fast.

What's wrong with her?

These past few days, I've been having thoughts I never had before.

Could it be—

Did she really fall in love with Zhou Jingming?

Realizing this, Su Xi immediately shook her head, forgetting all the unrealistic thoughts in her mind.

Then he went into the bathroom and soaked himself in the bathtub.

She must be too tired lately to be having these kinds of wild thoughts.

She can fall in love with anyone in this world, but she can't fall in love with Zhou Jingming!

...

The interview was scheduled for 10 a.m. The next morning, Su Xi got up early and saw Zhou Jingming busy in the kitchen as soon as she went downstairs.

The man, dressed in pajamas and wearing an apron, was intently making breakfast with a spatula in hand.

Su Xi approached silently and hugged him from behind. "I didn't expect my husband to be so virtuous, getting up so early to make a loving breakfast?"

Zhou Jingming turned to face her, cupped her face with one hand and kissed her, "I've been torturing you these past two days, afraid you'd get too thin from hunger."

Su Xi couldn't help but blush when the topic of the past two days came up.

The day before yesterday, she fell asleep while taking a bath. When Zhou Jingming returned with the wine, he couldn't find her and barged into the bathroom without knocking.

The two sat facing each other in the bathtub, and he pressed her down and kissed her forcefully.

The bathroom was filled with steam, and the man's body temperature was burning hot. His gentle and tender manner made her fall for him, and she took the initiative to hug his neck and respond passionately.

Afterwards, the man carried her to the bay window, repeating this and that action several times until three in the morning, when she finally fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion.

She didn't get out of bed yesterday either, staying snuggled up in the covers with him the whole time.

After a day and two nights of absurdity, Zhou Jingming was now bringing it up in public, and she was so embarrassed that her face turned bright red.

"Then you'll have to make more. I'm really hungry right now, I could eat a whole pig." Su Xi rubbed her nose against the man's, smiling seductively.
