Xie Huaiyang's chest heaved.

A pair of eyes were fixed on her.

He held the back of her neck with his hand, and his other hand climbed up to her cheek.

His gaze lingered on her watery, unfocused eyes, then slowly swept over her flushed cheeks and slightly pouting lips. His voice was low and husky as he asked her uncertainly:

"Baby, are you serious?"

He heard the sound of his blood rushing through his veins and became uncontrollably excited.

"I really can take the initiative with you..."

Shen Zhiyi blinked very slowly.

His head tilted to the side.

His head slammed heavily into his palm.

Xie Huaiyang: ...

He paused for a moment.

He shook the adorable face in his palm.

Shen Zhiyi kept her eyes closed, her soft cheeks bulging with his movements, her long eyelashes tightly shut, not even trembling.

She has completely fallen asleep.

Xie Huaiyang almost laughed out of anger.

Furious with nowhere to vent, he pinched her nose and gritted his teeth, saying, "Shen Zhiyi, are you kidding me?!"

Shen Zhiyi was forced to open her lips and gasp for breath.

She let out a soft "woof," tilted her head to the other side, rested on his shoulder, and fell asleep again.

Xie Huaiyang: ...

He lowered his eyes, looked at the rosy face in his arms, and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Suppressing the heat coursing through his body, he scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the bedroom.

...

"Cold front, warm front?! I'm going crazy!"

Xie Huaiyang paced back and forth in his room, phone in hand. "Mingjie, what do you think she means by this?"

Was she genuinely flirting with him?

Or was he deliberately playing a trick on him?!

Xie Huaiyang scratched his head, feeling his headache worsen.

Mingjie was stunned.

He gasped on the other end of the phone, "Hiss—this lecherous businessman is probably even more ruthless than me..."

Xie Huaiyang: ...

"What are you saying?" He stopped, his brow furrowed in anger. "Don't make fun of her."

"If I hear that kind of talk again, we're no longer brothers."

"Hey, hey, hey! No way!" Mingjie quickly apologized, "I was just joking, I didn't mean to disrespect my sister-in-law."

"Brother Yang, calm down. Forgive me this time. I'll never do it again."

"I will never joke with my sister-in-law again."

Xie Huaiyang felt a little better after hearing him call her "sister-in-law" repeatedly.

"Alright, I don't think you'll come up with anything good."

"Hang up."

He hung up the phone.

Mingjie looked at the screen that had gone dark and shook his head with a sigh.

This man is a scoundrel, far superior to him!

Xie Huaiyang tossed his phone onto the bed, opened the door, and looked towards Shen Zhiyi's bedroom.

Still feeling uneasy, I went over to check.

The little drunkard who had him so agitated was now lying sprawled out on his back.

The blanket that had just been placed over her had already been kicked aside.

A section of her snow-white, slender waist was revealed.

The hem of the skirt was also rolled up a little.

Xie Huaiyang felt another surge of heat rise within him as he read this.

He suppressed his thirst, covered her with the blanket, and stood there watching her for a long time before angrily lowering his head and kissing her lips fiercely.

Lips as soft as jelly, with the scent of gardenia and sweet wine.

He seemed to never get enough of it.

It almost got out of control again.

"Ugh... Get away..." Shen Zhiyi, drunk, slapped him across the face.

It's limp and weak.

Xie Huaiyang released her lips, pressed his cheek against hers, and let out a furious sneer. He raised his long, slender hand and pinched her chin.

I'll settle the score with you when you wake up.

He moved slightly, his thumb stroking her face, burning hot.

His eyes, however, were gentle.

He took a deep breath, mustered all his self-control, got up, closed the door, and left.

When Shen Zhiyi woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Her cheeks flushed as she recalled everything that had happened last night.

How could she say such a thing to Xie Huaiyang?

I even touched his abs!

He wouldn't mistake her for a pervert, would he?

Thinking of his reaction last night and the feel of his abs, Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.

Um……

They'll do it again next time.

After she slowly finished washing up and groped her way out of the room, she was immediately blocked by a broad body as soon as she opened the door.

She was startled and fell into his arms.

"Xie Huaiyang?"

Xie Huaiyang gripped her waist and gritted his teeth, saying, "Do you remember what happened last night?"

"Do you still stand by what you said?"

Shen Zhiyi's lips curled into a mischievous smile, but she deliberately suppressed it and asked innocently, "What are you saying?"

"I drank too much, I don't remember."

“You…” Xie Huaiyang stared, his chest heaving.

He carefully observed her expression, wondering if he had treated her too badly in the past, which was why she was playing him like this.

His eyes darkened.

Suddenly he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, "Baby..."

Why are you deliberately torturing me?

She knew perfectly well how much he wanted it.

If I can't give it to him, a kiss is fine, right?

Xie Huaiyang was like a child fighting for candy, determined to defend his sweetness to the death.

He lifted her up and pressed a deep kiss against her.

The moment Shen Zhiyi pressed against him, her legs went weak.

She opened her lips.

Let his lips and tongue invade, venting his anger and uncontrollable desire.

The moment his fingertips lifted the hem of her dress.

Shen Zhiyi's stomach growled.

Xie Huaiyang: ...

He bit and kissed her neck in a fit of anger, his voice low and husky with helplessness: "I'm really defeated by you..."

He lifted her up with one hand and carried her to the restaurant like a child.

"Let's eat first."

Shen Zhiyi, her face flushed, ate her meal in small bites, holding her bowl and chopsticks.
