Chapter 51 Further Questioning (Bonus Chapter)

Zhan Lintian put his hand on his shoulder, bent down a little closer, and took the initiative: "I'll coax you tonight."

Jiang Xia waved his hand and said with a smile, "Really, there's no need."

Mr. Zhan chuckled softly: "Really, you don't need it?"

Mr. Zhan continued recounting: "Your sleep quality isn't great. Last time I slept with you..."

He lowered his voice: "I opened my eyes, and you just stared at me like that... Am I that handsome?"

Jiang Xia coughed awkwardly, "Handsome..."

His physical attributes are truly impeccable; handsome, well-built, and tall… Jiang Xia's gaze swept over his arm muscles, indicating he must be quite strong…

My gaze drifted down again... cough, the capital here is huge too...

Seeing that he didn't strongly object, Zhan Lintian immediately called someone to send some late-night snacks.

While waiting, the two of them cleaned up the stove together.

As Jiang Xia tidied up, she wondered: Why am I cleaning with him?

Not long after, the doorbell rang.

Jiang Xia opened the door, and a stranger wearing frameless glasses smiled and introduced himself: "My surname is Jiang, and I am General Manager Zhan's personal assistant. You must be Mr. Jiang."

"This is the late-night snack that Mr. Zhan ordered."

When Jiang Xia first met him, she greeted him, "Hello, Assistant Jiang, I'm Jiang Xia."

Assistant Jiang placed the items on the dining table, glanced at President Zhan who was tidying up in the kitchen, and said, "President Zhan, the dessert has arrived. I'll take my leave now. Please let me know if you need anything."

When Zhan Lintian came out, the other party had already wisely left.

As soon as the door closed, Zhan Lintian opened the lid: "Want to eat?"

Jiang Xia quickly waved his hand: "I really can't eat anymore."

"It's just a little bit of sweet soup, it won't fill your stomach."

Mr. Zhan had already unscrewed the lid, taken a spoon, and held a little bit to Jiang Xia's lips, letting him taste it.

“Try it…” Zhan Lintian said.

Jiangxia's lips are very beautiful...they are of moderate thickness and have a lovely shape, and at this moment they are being held back by a spoon.

Jiang Xia was forced to open his mouth: "Thank you."

He quickly took the spoon, took a small sip, and found the sweetness to be just right.

The assistant also brought a box of peeled pomelos. Jiang Xia tasted a segment, found it sweet and refreshing, and his eyes lit up: "Delicious! What kind of pomelo is this?"

Judging from the size of the flesh, slightly larger oranges have larger seeds and finer flesh; with a gentle touch, your fingertips will be coated with juice.

Jiang Xia slowly wiped the sticky residue from his fingertips with a tissue.

The pomelos he bought at the fruit shop, regardless of price, were mostly a bit sour.

He doesn't like sour foods.

Zhan Lintian looked at his slow movements, glanced at the order form, and said, "Satay pomelo, but eating too much will make you feel full, just eat a little bit."

Jiang Xia didn't eat much. After washing up, he went into the bedroom, and Premier Zhan walked in confidently.

Then the two looked into each other's eyes.

Zhan Lintian didn't say anything, he just looked at him intently.

Jiang Xia touched his lips and whispered, "I tidied up the guest room today."

Wu Ming just mentioned that President Zhan has found a good blind date, which means that he and Zhan are just friends.

Jiangxia has a hard time discerning the appropriate distance between friends.

Perhaps Mr. Zhan is just a little too outgoing, which is normal.

Most importantly, Wu Ming said he was going on a blind date, and President Zhan didn't refute it, which means he likes women.

When Jiangxia was studying, he saw many classmates making jokes between people of the same sex.

It was strange that he always slept with her, because his body temperature was too high and Jiang Xia always felt unbearably hot.

Jiang Xia reluctantly conceded: "I'll go get a thinner blanket."

They took out a cotton quilt, which wasn't covered with a quilt cover, and the two of them took care of it together.

Zhan Lintian helped hold onto two corners, watching Jiang Xia slightly slip inside to smooth out the blankets, then step back and look at him.

Jiang Xia's hair was a little messy, but he clapped his hands triumphantly and said, "It's ready."

Zhan Lintian was about to lie down when he reminded him, "Go to sleep early. I have to see Wu Ming off tomorrow morning. Do you want to come?"

Jiang Xia had just turned around and taken out a second quilt from the cabinet. The quilt was a bit big, and he could only barely show half of his face when he held it.

"What?"

"Two quilts?" That's completely irrelevant.

Jiang Xia's voice was muffled: "President Zhan, I'm a little cold, so I'll sleep on this thicker bed."

Zhan Lintian put one hand on his hip, looked at him, and chuckled, "Two blankets? Did I kick you in my sleep last time?"

“No,” Jiang Xia replied.

Zhan Lintian walked over to Jiang Xia, jokingly trying to snatch the blanket from his hands: "Did I hit you?"

Jiang Xia realized he was deliberately teasing her, lowered her head, and didn't know how to respond: "No..."

Zhan Lintian rested his knees on the edge of the bed and threw the blanket away from Jiang Xia's hands: "Or was I snoring?"

Jiang Xia was pulled by him, his body swayed, and he fell onto the bed. The next moment, the man in front of him was about to make trouble for him.

Jiang Xia reached out and playfully pushed him, then fell onto the bed, chuckling as she begged for forgiveness: "I was wrong, Mr. Zhan!"

Zhan Lintian grabbed his wrist, laughing for a moment before suddenly stopping. Jiang Xia's bed sheets were a bright pale yellow, making his own skin appear darker when pressed against them.

Jiang Xia's face appeared even whiter against the backdrop of the mirror, her earlobes slightly red, her dark brown hair disheveled, and her eyes smiling faintly.

Zhan Lintian suddenly stroked Jiang Xia's cheek with his right hand, his thumb gently supporting Jiang Xia's chin, his fingertip trembling as if trying to touch Jiang Xia's lips.

Lips...

Tonight, Zhan Lintian noticed Jiang Xia biting her lower lip from time to time. He hesitated slightly, almost suffocating under the weight of his doubts. He had wanted to ask her since earlier, "Jiang Xia, did Wu Zhou kiss you?"

How did the other person kiss you?

Is it just a simple kiss, tenderly caressing the lips, or will the tongue first sweep across Jiang Xia's lips, then slowly entwine inside, expressing feelings with a passionate kiss?

Jiang Xia probably won't respond proactively; he'll be shy... After all, he has absolutely no experience in this area, and over the years, even hugging Wu Ming felt like crossing a line.

That was Wu Zhou taking the initiative... Only when Jiang Xia was out of breath would Wu Zhou withdraw, and Jiang Xia's tongue would be unconsciously pulled out by him until they separated in mid-air, the strands of water breaking, and Jiang Xia would come back to his senses...

At that moment, Jiang Xia softly called out, "President Zhan?"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Lintian narrowed his eyes, and he could vaguely see Jiang Xia's tongue moving slightly as he spoke.

It should be very sweet...

Zhan Lintian lowered his eyes and softened his voice: "But you haven't agreed yet, have you?"

Jiang Xia gave a soft "hmm," unsure how to get up: "I was startled, but thankfully it was just a simple touch."

If it were anyone else, Jiang Xia would have kept it to himself, but Zhan Lintian knew everything, and telling him might give him some advice.

Zhan Lintian bent over, like a lion about to hunt, his hands resting on either side of Jiang Xia's cheeks: "So, do you still like Wu Ming now?"

Jiang Xia shook his head.

Based on his current impression of Wu Ming, the fact that he doesn't dislike him is already a testament to their long-standing friendship.

Jiang Xia tried to get up: "President Zhan, are you really not going back? Wu Ming just said..."

“I’m not going back. I’ll drive to the airport tomorrow morning and send him abroad,” Zhan Lintian said with a smile.

Given Wu Ming's situation, Zhan Lintian didn't believe that he was really afraid that it would be difficult to get leave from Jiangxia's work, which was why he wouldn't let him go.

It's simply because he has a fiancée, and since he's going abroad for important business, Miss Xie will definitely see him off at the airport, and then they'll kiss and hug.

He told Jiang Xia he wouldn't get married, but behind her back he said something completely different.

He had to go over and take a picture or video.

If Jiang Xia wants to see it, he can provide it anytime, anywhere.

He said, "I'm afraid he won't be back for a year or two of studying abroad. I'll take pictures of his boarding pass for you then. Take a lot of pictures. Do you want me to take a video? So you can remember him by looking at things."

Jiang Xia thought for a moment and shook his head: "No need, I'll go see him off tomorrow."

Zhan Lintian was also curious: "You just said you weren't going?"

The two had completely different reasons, but both were certain they would go tomorrow.

Jiang Xia blinked and said, "I'm just kidding."

Today, Wu Ming came over specifically to tell me not to see him off, but based on my understanding of him, if I really don't go to see him off tomorrow, he will definitely call me four or five times a day for the next few days.

Mr. Zhan stroked his chin and leaned closer to Jiang Xia: "Are you really going? You don't seem like you're lying at all."

Jiang Xia teased him, smiling slightly, "You could tell?"

Jiang Xia had just drunk some sugar water, and her lips were glossy.

Zhan Lintian bent down, deliberately bringing his nose to Jiang Xia's, their skin gently brushing against each other.

Jiang Xia awkwardly pulled her legs back, but the man on top of her held her calves firmly with one hand.

Their breathing overlapped.

Zhan Lintian leaned closer, smelling the faint sweetness on his lips, his voice terribly hoarse: "I can tell, because I lied to him about my blind date."

Jiang Xia was stunned.

Zhan Lintian said, "Jiang Xia, I'm single too..."

A note from the author:

Wu Ming: What business is it of his if you're single?!

Zhan Lintian: He can solve my single status problem. [Sunglasses]

Mr. Zhan could pinch his calf with one hand.

Actually, the two of them took advantage of Jiang Xia's lack of understanding and quickly made their move. Given Jiang Xia's personality, if he were kissed, his first reaction would be whether he should take responsibility.

Because he felt he hadn't pushed her away immediately.

Mr. Wu was afraid of scaring Jiang Xia the first time they kissed, so the next time, his hands started touching his wife's back, etc.

Wu Zhou: My wife lets me touch her, why shouldn't I?
