"Okay, okay... I won't say anything more, let go, I'm suffocating—"

"Pah, pah, pah! Say something auspicious during the New Year!" I quickly corrected her and then let go of her hand.

Su Shenglin, standing to the side, could tell that he was struggling to suppress his laughter, and his handsome face was flushed with unease.

I glanced at him timidly, and having almost finished packing, I said hurriedly, "Let's go, let's go..."

Seeing that I had a lot of things, Su Shenglin came forward to help.

I flicked my elbow and said, "No need! I can carry it!"

As we reached the entrance, Li Yunwei yelled again from behind, "Take it easy! This is a young lady's first time getting married! Mr. Su, remember to be gentle with her!"

"Li, Yun, Wei!"

Hahahaha—

The door was closed, but it couldn't stop the uncontrollable laughter of his friends inside.

Seeing me walking hurriedly, as if a ferocious beast was chasing me, Su Shenglin couldn't help but laugh.

"You're still laughing! It's all your fault!" I turned around and vented my anger.

He didn't argue, but stepped forward to help me take the things I was holding. "You two are such good friends, there's nothing shameful about this. It's bound to happen sooner or later anyway."

What?

It's going to happen sooner or later anyway, right?

I pondered his words, then gave him a meaningful look.

My reputation has been completely cleansed ever since Gu Yutian caused a scene at the Lunar New Year's Eve party.

Everyone in our circle knows that although Gu Yanqing and I have been together for six years, I am still a virgin, which makes me feel a bit embarrassed.

It was originally a good thing; it restored my reputation to some extent and let the outside world know that I am a woman with self-respect and self-love.

At the same time, it also felt like a chastity archway weighing down on me, making me more hesitant when interacting with Su Shenglin.

Now when he says, "It's going to happen sooner or later anyway," I feel even more nervous and uneasy.

Should we go earlier or later?

My mind was racing with all sorts of thoughts, and I didn't even notice that he had already led me into the presidential suite.

Looking at the luxurious and spacious space, and the professionally equipped private butler, I came back to my senses and immediately cleared my mind of all the random thoughts.

"Um...which room do I sleep in?"

“Of course, it’s the master bedroom.” Su Shenglin pointed.

I immediately grabbed the clothes and went inside.

Looking at the comfortable and romantic bed in the master bedroom, I suddenly realized something was wrong and turned around abruptly: "Wait a minute, I'm sleeping in the master bedroom, so you can sleep there—"

He followed me into the master bedroom.

As I turned around in confusion, he gently pressed his back against the door and closed it, then continued, "Of course I sleep in the master bedroom too."

What?

I stared intently into his deep, smiling eyes, realizing I'd been tricked, and stammered, "Then...then we—"

“We’re just sleeping, what are you thinking?” He walked up step by step, his voice low and deep, as if it came from his chest. “Or… do you want something different to happen?”

My eyes were glazed over, I knew what he was going to do next, and my heart was pounding in my chest.

"No, I don't want to. But you just said... there are extra rooms here—"

“There are extra rooms, but other people need to stay there, so you can only sleep in the master bedroom with me.” He spoke in a low, gentle voice, each word incredibly tender.

As soon as he finished speaking, he hooked his hand under my chin, forcing me to look up at him.

I swallowed, still retaining some rationality, and asked, "Do the people who follow you even supervise your sleep?"

"Of course, when it comes to confidential security, we must ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"..." I didn't answer, but I felt again that I had caused him trouble.

Given his status, he should not be allowed to leave the country unless absolutely necessary.

But he did it for me...

"Wanwan...have you finished asking your questions?" he murmured softly, as if in a daze, and then, without waiting for my reply, his handsome and charming face pressed down on me.

I instinctively leaned back, but his hand was firmly on the back of my neck, warm and strong, preventing me from turning away.

Our lips met, and for a moment it felt like an electric current flowed through our breaths, making me tremble slightly.

He didn't close his eyes. Sensing my reaction, the subtle light in his eyes held a deep smile.

My face grew increasingly red, and my heart pounded like a drum.

Su Shenglin's kiss was gentlemanly, gentle, yet alluring and tender.

I felt as if all my strength had been drained from my body, and gradually, I couldn't even take the clothes out of my arms.

He noticed this, freed one hand to grab the clothes, and casually tossed them behind him onto the bed.

I uttered a soft sound, though it was unconscious.

But he thought something was wrong with me, so he stopped and looked at me questioningly.

My eyelashes drooped, and I was so breathless that I couldn't utter a single word.

He understood immediately, his smile becoming even more wicked. Suddenly, he bent down, picked me up horizontally, and walked to the bedside in a few steps, where he put me down.

I lay there, feeling lightheaded and unreal, as if I were dreaming.

He knelt on the edge of the bed, his tall and imposing body looming over me like a mountain, until his lips found my breath again...
