Chapter 207 Interest to be Collected

Qi Chenyan's lips curved upwards in a distinct arc.

His slender fingers rested on the steering wheel, and after turning the wheel slightly, he slowly opened his lips.

"Actually, I prefer a more substantial thank you, honey."

She calls him husband, and he calls her wife. How can this not be considered a friendly exchange between a young couple?

Yu Li's eyes darted around, and she suddenly leaned forward, half her body stepping over the armrest box, and planted a kiss on Qi Chenyan's right cheek.

When Qi Chenyan's dark eyes visibly trembled at the sudden kiss, Yu Li was already like a scumbag cat who had stolen some fish and then wiped her ass and left.

He quickly sat back in the passenger seat and deliberately changed the subject: "It's time for our daily ordering again. Mr. Qi, can you cook Italian food?"

Qi Chenyan was absolutely certain that his wife had done it on purpose.

I deliberately kissed him while he was driving.

Because he couldn't very well stop halfway through the journey, he couldn't do anything to her.

What a sly and mischievous little devil.

When they arrived at the lakeside villa, Qi Chenyan got out of the car as soon as he parked it. Just as Yu Li unbuckled her seatbelt, the passenger door was opened.

Before Yu Li could react, the man's tall figure leaned towards her.

The afterglow of the setting sun behind him seemed to coat him with a sacred, soft light.

Just like now, he was bracing one hand on the car door, while his other hand, as he raised it, slipped past Yu Li's ear and braced itself on the back of the seat.

This creates a 360-degree ambiguous position where the person is pinned against the wall.

If things were to unfold like a typical idol drama, wouldn't it be a shame not to kiss in this ambiguous atmosphere?

Yu Li's heart was racing uncontrollably.

Even the speed at which one blinks becomes slow.

"What's wrong?"

Qi Chenyan's voice was like a cello with its strings pulled low, magnetic and melodious. It was like a gentle breeze that entered the ear, and like a master of witchcraft, it instantly captivated Yu Li.

"Mrs. Qi, have you forgotten that this road leads to its end? You're kidding me, there's interest to be charged."

Yu Li controlled her breathing and asked calmly, "What can you do to me?"

Qi Chenyan chuckled softly, accompanied by a deep, resonant breath, carrying the unique scent of snow-covered pine trees that emanates from a man.

The next second, the fragrance, accompanied by a scorching breath, drew closer.

When he was only inches away from Yu Li, he lowered his head, his thin lips, slightly cool and moist, landing on her brows and eyes.

Yu Li gripped the edge of the seat tightly.

But after the kiss, Qi Chenyan stepped back slightly, simply raising his hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"Interest will be charged later."

Yu Li's tightly clenched hand suddenly loosened.

While I felt relieved, I also felt a sense of disappointment.

Kissing is something that happens when the mood is right, isn't it? Can you leave it for later? Even if there are plenty of opportunities later, the atmosphere won't be the same as it is now, right?

If he can tolerate this, is Qi Chenyan incapable?

That's not right either. If Qi Chenyan wasn't capable, he wouldn't have succeeded on his first try.

Wait a minute, what kind of lewd thoughts is she having? She's going to corrupt the baby in her belly!

"Baby, don't listen, Mommy was just playing around with Daddy."

Qi Chenyan stopped and turned his head. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, my legs just went a little numb from sitting. I'll just jump around a bit and it'll be fine."

Just as Yu Li was about to jump up, Qi Chenyan held her down with one hand.

He didn't say anything educational; instead, he simply knelt down.

"Would Mrs. Qi like to try out this free rickshaw?"

Yu Li's eyes curved into a smile, and without any hesitation, she climbed onto the man's back and wrapped her arms around his neck.

As Qi Chenyan steadily carried her on his back, Yu Li patted his shoulder, "Come on, baby, Mommy's taking you for a horse ride, giddy up~"

Qi Chenyan laughed out loud.

While taking a shower that evening, Yu Li suddenly noticed something.

I jogged out of the bathroom and went straight to the study.

Meanwhile, Qi Chenyan was still in his study, still using video to assign work tasks.

Yu Li was in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to knock before pushing the door open.

"Qi Chenyan! Qi Chenyan!"

The man immediately looked up and saw that his wife was still wearing a bathrobe, her long hair was still wet, and she had even put her slippers on backwards in her haste.

My first reaction was that something terrible had happened. I didn't even have time to turn off the video. I immediately put down my pen, got up, and walked over quickly.

"What's wrong? What happened? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yu Li didn't speak immediately. Instead, she first took Qi Chenyan's hand, then guided his hand to lift her bathrobe, and placed Qi Chenyan's hand on her lower abdomen.

"Have you found anything?"

His wife's lower abdomen was very soft, and her skin was as smooth as silk and as white as snow. So when Qi Chenyan's palm suddenly covered it, it felt as if his palm was about to sink into it, causing his fingertips to tremble slightly involuntarily.

However, Qi Chenyan soon noticed something, and his gaze shifted downwards, landing on her lower abdomen.

"My lower abdomen seems to be a little bulging?"

Yu Li nodded, "That's right, that's right. I saw it in the manual before. It said that at three months, the belly is no different from normal, but at four months, you can clearly see that the lower abdomen is bulging."

"I didn't notice it before. When I was scrubbing myself in the bath just now, I initially thought I had eaten too much at night, but when I took a deep breath, I found that it was still slightly raised, and then I remembered what the manual said."

As she spoke, Yu Li made a gesture, "So, baby, are you this big now?"

Qi Chenyan gently stroked his wife's lower abdomen with his palm, a tender smile spreading across his eyes like water.

"It seems the little seahorse has grown quite a bit."

Hearing Qi Chenyan describe the baby like that, Yu Li chuckled, "The baby is already so big now. Be careful he doesn't take it to heart and remember that his father calls him seahorse. When he comes out, he'll hold a grudge against you."

"It's okay, just don't hold a grudge against your mother. I've seen many families where one parent plays the 'good cop' and the other plays the 'bad cop,' and that makes the child more obedient."

They've even learned about future teaching methods?

Qi Chenyan added, "I also need to go for my prenatal checkup these days. I'm not busy tomorrow, so how about I take some time in the morning to go?"

Yu Li was also eager to see how big the baby was and what he looked like, so she naturally had no objections and nodded in agreement.

Just as I was about to say something more, I suddenly heard a cough.

Yu Li asked curiously, "You coughed just now? I don't think so. I didn't cough either. So where did that coughing sound come from?"

Qi Chenyan replied casually, "It should have come from the computer. I was in a video conference just now."

Yu Li had a bad feeling: "Then now..."

"I thought something had happened to you and I didn't have time to turn off the computer."
