The whispers around her reached Ji Fuling's ears.

She glanced to the side and, sure enough, it was just as she had expected.

Everyone else's eyes were all on her and Ye Nanqing, filled with gossip.

She pursed her lips, then looked up to meet the man's deep black eyes. "Mr. Ye, please let go of me. Be mindful of your behavior."

Upon hearing her deliberately aloof address of "President Ye," Ye Nanqing's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint appearing in them.

Immediately, he scoffed, enunciating each word clearly, "What impact? It's perfectly natural for me to embrace my own woman. Who dares to object?"

Ji Fuling: "..."

"I don't want to discuss this with you, let me go."

As she spoke, Ji Fuling struggled to get out of Ye Nanqing's arms.

Duan Qianfan stared at Ye Nanqing's hand around Ji Fuling's waist, his face turning somewhat grim. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Ye, Fuling asked you to let go. With so many people watching, I'm sure you don't want to be accused of harassment."

Ye Nanqing glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice, "This is a matter between my husband and me, and it's none of your business to interfere."

Ji Fuling: "!!!!"

What about between husband and wife?!

What nonsense is this man spouting now?!

Su Ling, who had been secretly observing from the sidelines, was stunned.

Judging from this, did President Ji secretly get a marriage certificate with President Ye sometime ago?

This is big news!

Without delay, Su Ling took out her phone, opened a small group chat for colleagues called "Everyone Loves Gossip," and immediately sent a message.

The clever little guy jumping around in the melon patch: [Family, juicy gossip! CEO Ji is suspected of having secretly registered his marriage with CEO Ye!!]

Duan Qianfan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ji Fuling with a stiff expression, "Is what he said... true?"

"I……"

Since it was completely untrue, Ji Fuling naturally denied it.

However, Ye Nanqing didn't give her a chance to speak. He picked her up and carried her towards the hotel's accommodation area.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Ji Fuling instinctively hug Ye Nanqing's neck.

Feeling the unspoken meaning in the gazes cast upon her, she was immediately embarrassed and glared angrily at the man who had acted recklessly.

"Ye Nanqing, what's wrong with you now?! Everyone's watching, put me down right now!"

Ye Nanqing didn't stop, holding the woman struggling in his arms even tighter. He parted his thin lips slightly, "I'm crazy, because you're crazy, so don't waste your energy. I won't let you go. Be good, let's go back to the room first."

His words, which sounded both threatening and coaxing, made Ji Fuling feel inexplicably uneasy.

Knowing that once this man became assertive, he wouldn't allow anyone to refuse, Ji Fuling had no choice but to temporarily give up resisting.

There are too many people here, and given their current condition, it's really not convenient for them to stay any longer...

Duan Qianfan watched the direction the two left in, his eyes gradually dimming, and a bitter smile of disappointment appeared on his perfectly curved lips.

He wasn't stupid; he had already noticed Ye Nanqing's interest in Ji Fuling last time.

But at that time, he still firmly believed that he had hope.

But the way the two of them looked just now was clearly like a couple in love who had just had a fight and were now flirting.

The phrase "between husband and wife" in particular shattered his hopes.

He wanted to express his feelings, but all the words stuck in his throat.

Ultimately, he was too late.

During his absence, she met other people.

If she can be happy, he will bless her and continue to silently protect her...

"bite--"

The elevator doors opened.

Ji Fuling was carried by Ye Nanqing all the way back to his room.

He walked quickly, his taut face bearing the perpetually cold expression, making it impossible to guess his current emotions.

Once inside the room, Ye Nanqing swiftly closed the door with a flick of his long leg.

With no one else around and no need to worry about anyone's stares, Ji Fuling decided to get off him.

But she forgot that in such a private space, a man could be even more unrestrained.

Before she could even make a move, the man threw her directly onto the soft white bed.

Immediately afterwards, his tall body leaned down and pinned her down firmly.

The man's intense hormonal scent almost overwhelmed her.

His burning body temperature was also felt through his thin clothes.

The gentle, refreshing breath made Ji Fuling's ears burn, and a blush instantly spread across her cheeks.

She bit her lip, trying her best to calm her wildly beating heart, and raised her hand to push away the man on top of her, "Ye Nanqing, get off me! Do you know that you're being a pervert!"

Ye Nanqing placed his hands on either side of her shoulders, his long legs trapping her struggling legs, and she couldn't budge them no matter how much she pushed.

He lowered his head and kissed her flushed face, his voice low and husky, "You've been angry for so long, haven't you calmed down yet? Don't torture me anymore, okay?"

Ji Fuling blushed even more at his words, her bright eyes glaring at him. "What nonsense are you talking about? How have I tormented you?"

snort!

He completely fooled her, and then turned around and said he was tormented by her?

This man knows how to turn the tables!

"You've ignored me for so many days and won't let me see you. Isn't that torture?"

Ye Nanqing glanced at her huffing and puffed-out expression, and added in a low voice, "Don't you miss me at all?"

"..."

Ji Fuling pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment.

She could have easily said she didn't want to, but she knew that would just be self-deception.

During the week they didn't meet, she couldn't help but think of this man.

She knew in her heart that she was truly poisoned.

She was poisoned by this man.

That's why she went from being angry with him to being angry with herself.

Seeing him having dinner with Hua Zheng and chatting happily makes me feel uncomfortable...

Seeing that she remained silent, Ye Nanqing knew the answer in his heart, and his thin lips unconsciously curved into a slight smile.

The next second, he pressed his large hand against the back of her head and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

All the longing he had felt over the past few days was melted away in this deep kiss.

"Hmm..."

Caught off guard by the kiss, Ji Fuling's eyes widened in surprise.

By the time she realized what was happening, she was already being kissed so passionately that she couldn't speak.

She was held captive in his arms, her body gradually softening and sinking into the soft bed.

After kissing for a while, the man finally withdrew from the deep kiss, his thin lips lightly touching hers as he slowly whispered, "What happened before was my fault, and you punished me. Let's put this behind us and not hold a grudge against each other, okay?"

Ji Fuling was so weak that she couldn't muster any strength. His large hand pressed tightly against her lower back, her cheeks were flushed like rosy clouds, and she was panting and unable to speak. She could only continue to stare at him with her eyes.

Ye Nanqing glanced at her resentful little expression, a hint of a smile flashing across his dark eyes. He continued to lightly peck at the corner of her lips, his low, husky voice tinged with a sexy raspiness, "If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."

Hearing the man's usual shameless tone, Ji Fuling suddenly felt an urge to bite him.

Driven by this thought, she didn't think twice and directly opened her mouth and bit down.
