Wen Ran's cheeks turned pink, and she grabbed Shang Jingchi's arm in embarrassment and annoyance, trying to break free from his restraints.
But Shang Jingchi's arms were like steel bars, and she couldn't grab them at all.
"Don't waste your energy. The more you move, the more it will become disobedient."
Seeing that Wen Ran had indeed calmed down, Shang Jingchi smiled again and said, "You can't blame it entirely. After all, I'm a normal man. It's been holding it in for too long because of your foot injury recently."
Wen Ran's face was almost as red as a tomato, and he cursed the man in his heart for being shameless.
Her round and plump earlobes also turned red because of Shang Jingchi's words, like little cherries.
Shang Jingchi looked straight at him, his deep eyes seemed to be burning with something, as if he was about to lose control in the next second.
Rubbing Wen Ran's neck, he said hoarsely, "Ran Ran, can we go back to the room?"
The word "Ranran" made Wen Ran's heart beat faster.
But even a fool would understand what going back to the room meant.
Before she could figure out how to politely decline, Wu Xiumei came out of the kitchen with a bowl of steaming ginger soup.
Shouting, "Ginger soup is coming~"
When she saw the two people on the sofa clearly, she almost dropped the ginger soup on the ground.
Wen Ran turned his head away awkwardly, pretending to admire the view inside the living room.
Hearing Shang Jingchi's low laugh, Wen Ran scolded Shang Jingchi again in his heart.
Wu Xiumei walked up to the two of them, and Shang Jingchi stretched out his hand to her, "Auntie Wu, give me the ginger soup."
"Hey~"
Wu Xiumei handed the ginger soup to Shang Jingchi, and then looked at Wen Ran meaningfully.
He left the living room with a look of relief on his face.
Two minutes later, Shang Jingchi patted Wen Ran's arm and said, "Don't look anymore. Aunt Wu has already left."
Wen Ran turned his head back awkwardly, pretending to be pitiful, "Boss Shang, I want to stand up."
Shang Jingchi ignored Wen Ran's request and just said, "Call me by my name."
"Jing, Jingchi...I want to stand up."
It was the first time Wen Ran called his name to his face, and it was awkward and made her feel uncomfortable.
Shang Jingchi seemed to be in a very good mood today, and his tone was full of joy.
"You shouted well." Shang Jingchi continued to hold Wen Ran in his arms.
The ginger soup is orange-yellow, clear and spicy.
Shang Jingchi held the bowl in one hand and the spoon in the other. He scooped a spoonful of ginger soup and passed it to Wen Ran's lips, "Open your mouth."
Wen Ran hesitated for a moment, but finally opened his mouth.
Shang Jingchi's posture of holding her now was no different from holding a child, and every cell in Wen Ran's body was in agony.
Shang Jingchi fed the food very slowly, one spoonful at a time. Wen Ran was so impatient that he wanted to just snatch the bowl and finish it in one gulp.
Seeing Shang Jingchi approaching with the spoon again, Wen Ran quickly pushed it away, "Boss Shang, I'm full."
She had already drunk more than half of the big bowl of ginger soup, and now her stomach was full of water.
"You're not listening again. I told you to call me by my name." Shang Jingchi put down the spoon, and his tone of voice was blaming but very pleasant.
Wen Ran had no choice but to call out again, "Jing Chi."
"That's more like it."
Shang Jingchi leaned forward with Wen Ran in his arms, put the bowl on the table, and then continued to sit on the sofa, maintaining his original posture.
Wen Ran felt his breath getting hotter and hotter, and her body began to tense up.
"Jing, Jingchi..."
"Of course." Shang Jingchi interrupted Wen Ran, his voice hoarse and deep, "Shall we go back to the room?"
Although it was a question, Shang Jingchi stood up and carried Wen Ran to the second floor after he finished speaking.
He didn't give Wen Ran any chance to answer.
…
Two hours later.
Shang Jingchi leaned against the leather headboard, his strong arms holding Wen Ran tightly in his arms.
Wen Ran's body was as soft as mud, he was gasping for breath, and his head was still dizzy.
No matter how Shang Jingchi held her, she didn't have the strength to resist.
"After the company finishes its recent projects, I'll take you to the Maldives."
Shang Jingchi still remembered that he had promised Wen Ran to go to the Maldives, but now several months have passed and it has not yet happened.
Wen Ran paused for a moment before answering, "No rush."
"Okay then." Shang Jingchi rubbed the top of Wen Ran's head. "If you have other places you want to go, I can take you there."
"Thank you Jingchi. Um... can I borrow some money from you?"
As soon as Wen Ran saw Shang Jingchi today, he wanted to borrow money from him, but he didn't dare to ask until now.
Shang Jingchi replied without hesitation after hearing this: "The card is in the drawer of the study. The password is your birthday. Just swipe it."
"No!" Wen Ran sat up straight, turned around and looked directly at Shang Jingchi. "I'm not asking for your money, I'm lending it to you. I'll pay you back when I have money in the future."
Wen Ran looked serious.
Shang Jingchi raised his hand and gently scratched Wen Ran's nose with a doting smile.
"Why make such a distinction? What's mine is yours."
"No, it's different." Wen Ran couldn't explain it clearly.
She was afraid that Shang Jingchi would get angry, so she didn't dare to speak too bluntly.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I want to prove to you that I can make money, so that you won't look down on me."
Shang Jingchi raised his eyebrows. The light was dim, but his eyes were extremely bright, with a touch of tenderness and sweetness.
His cool and handsome face also looked more approachable than before.
"When have I ever looked down on you?" His tone became increasingly gentle.
Wen Ran lowered his head. "I, I just want to prove myself."
Wen Ran waited for a while, but Shang Jingchi didn't reply.
After thinking about what to say in his mind, he looked up and prepared to tell Shang Jingchi.
