Chapter 56 Indulging Your Pampered Nature "Good girl Yao Yao."
Xie Qingci had no intention of leaving. She planned to treat Lu Li to dinner and then let him go back first, while she waited for Liang Jingzhuo here.
But Lu Li certainly couldn't leave the boss's wife alone here, and picking up President Liang was his duty, so he stayed with her as well.
Seeing Liang Jingzhuo come out, Xie Qingci raised her hand and waved.
Liang Jingzhuo paused for a moment before striding over and stopping in front of her. He raised his hand, which had been hanging by his side, but ultimately refrained from touching her face amidst the bustling crowd. "Why didn't you go back?"
He was in a hurry, his overcoat draped over his arm, dressed in a suit and tie, yet a rare weariness and travel-worn look could be seen between his brows.
Xie Qingci looked at him and said with a smile, "It hasn't been long. I treated Assistant Lu to a meal, and that's about it."
Although winter on Hong Kong Island is milder than in Beijing, it is still a bit colder. She was dressed lightly and waited there for three hours.
Liang Jingzhuo glanced at her thin clothes, then reached out and took her hands into his palm.
It's not too cold.
But he was still a little worried, "He's wearing too little clothing, and he's just recovered from a cold."
Although I wasn't by her side during this time, I kept reminding her to wear more clothes, but she forgot about it once she arrived in Hong Kong.
Xie Qingci refused to admit to the crime, gesturing to the suitcase behind her, a white coat draped over the handle, "I was wearing a coat before boarding the plane."
You can't slander her like that.
Following Liang Jingzhuo's gesture, Lu Li immediately straightened his back and shifted his gaze somewhat guiltily to the side.
The boss instructed him to send Ms. Xie home as soon as possible, but he not only failed to do so, he also waited with her for three hours.
Liang Jingzhuo glanced at the clothes on the suitcase, confirming that Xie Qingci was telling the truth, and took her hand. "Let's go."
As they walked from the airport to the parking lot, Lu Li followed behind, pushing his suitcase.
Xie Qingci suddenly remembered that she and Lu Li had already eaten, and was unsure whether Liang Jingzhuo had eaten as well, so she turned to him and asked, "Have you had dinner?"
Flights that serve meals usually provide meals. Today, I was in a rush and was in economy class, so the meals were rather ordinary. Although the crew specially prepared a meal for me according to the business class meal standard, Liang Jingzhuo didn't eat much of it.
Hearing Xie Qingci ask this, he assumed she hadn't eaten enough for dinner. "Hungry? What would you like to eat?"
Xie Qingci shook her head. "No, I ate quite a lot for dinner. If you haven't eaten, I can have some more with you."
When speaking, he deliberately raised his hand, shortening the distance between his thumb and forefinger, making a tangible gesture of "just a little bit".
He glanced at the "little bit" she gestured with her fingertips, a slight smile playing on his lips. He then looked back at her face and replied, "I ate some on the plane, so I'm not too hungry yet."
After a 10-plus hour international flight followed by a 3-plus hour short-haul transfer, it's hard to have a good appetite.
Xie Qingci nodded and replied, "Okay." Then she took out her phone to check the time, "Then we can have a late-night snack if you get hungry later."
Since it's New Year's Eve, we should at least have a meal together, or at least a late-night snack.
Liang Jingzhuo looked at her and replied with an "okay".
-
On my way back to my residence in Central from the airport, traffic on Hong Kong Island was almost paralyzed tonight, and it was nearly impossible to move around near Harbour City, where traffic control measures had been in place for a long time.
The tunnel is impassable, and there's no going back to the Liang family mansion.
Even if there were no traffic jams, Liang Jingzhuo didn't plan to take Xie Qingci directly back to the mansion.
Ms. Zhuang is too noisy. Although she should be asleep by now, if she knew that Xie Qingci had gone, she would definitely struggle to get up even if she was asleep.
He decided to skip it.
The car traveled with frequent stops and starts, and by the time it finally arrived at Central, the journey had taken twice as long as usual.
Xie Qingci was already quite sleepy, so she leaned against the car window and fell asleep on the way.
The car came to a smooth stop, and the gentle bumps ceased, pulling her back from her drowsy state.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I realized that the cold, hard car window that had been resting on my forehead before I fell asleep had become a broad, warm shoulder.
Liang Jingzhuo was looking down as he reviewed the documents. He didn't turn on the reading light, but only relied on the dim light shining through the half-lowered car window to read them.
Xie Qingci slightly raised her head, and the suit jacket covering her slipped off.
Sensing the movement, he turned his head to look over. "Awake?"
Xie Qingci thought she had only fallen asleep for a short while. Looking out the car window, she realized they had already arrived at their destination.
She responded with a "Mm".
Lu Li turned off the car and got out to retrieve his luggage from the trunk.
Liang Jingzhuo closed the documents on the table, glanced at her sleepy eyes, and asked, "Haven't you been getting enough rest lately?"
Actually, not really. Hsieh Ching-Tzu has always been a light sleeper, and she was quite busy during the recent exam week.
She took off his coat. "A little bit. I've been taking exams lately, so I stayed up a little late last night."
Liang Jingzhuo nodded, "Go back to sleep, it's easy to catch a cold in the car."
Xie Qingci responded with a "Mm".
Lu Li was about to help carry the suitcase upstairs when Liang Jingzhuo took it from him and told him to go home immediately, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, have a nice holiday."
Tomorrow is New Year's Day, a day off. Lu Li has been on business trips recently and hasn't had a break in a long time.
Lu Li handed over the suitcase, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you, President Liang."
After saying that, he handed over the car keys, turned around, and left.
As they took the elevator upstairs, the atmosphere was quiet. Xie Qingci was thinking about what to have for supper later.
She had never tried the night market before, even though she had visited Hong Kong Island several times. But thinking about the massive traffic jams outside today, she decided to give up, figuring it would just be crowded anyway.
takeout?
I wonder if food delivery is as convenient on Hong Kong Island as it is on the mainland.
Just as she was about to take out her phone to see which nearby restaurants offered delivery, the elevator dinged to indicate that it had arrived at her floor.
She looked up, put her phone back in her hand, and stepped out of the sedan chair with Liang Jingzhuo.
The apartment is a single-level building with one unit per floor. The entrance door is right outside the elevator. Press the fingerprint lock and the door pops open.
The dimly lit room was illuminated by the night light streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room. I turned on the light and stood on the doormat to change my shoes.
The slippers were the same ones Xie Qingci had bought herself when she came over last time, and they were still on the shoe rack. Liang Jingzhuo took them down for her.
"We'll be there in a bit..."
She had just slipped her feet into her slippers when she was about to ask him if he planned to eat out or order takeout from the restaurant. She was worried that the restaurant would be too busy to wait.
Before she could finish speaking, and just as she raised her head, she was kissed by the back of her neck.
The kiss landed so suddenly that Xie Qingci was stunned for a moment before she reacted. Before her eyes were suddenly enlarged thick eyebrows and long eyelashes, and her slightly trembling breaths burst forth. She slowly closed her eyes.
The entrance hall was quite spacious. I took two steps back and pressed my back against the wall behind me.
She raised her hand to his chest, put her arms around his neck, and responded to him.
The kiss on his lips was too aggressive; his palm pressed her close to him, and his lips and tongue pressed against her as she leaned back, completely lacking any manners.
With her jaw moving up and down and her mouth opening and closing, she abandoned all modesty and shyness, accepting the invasion into her mouth without any defense.
From the moment they met, Liang Jingzhuo wanted to do this, but it wouldn't work; it was a public place with too many people, and she would probably get angry.
Sitting in the car, he found her asleep. As he carefully lifted her head and brought it close to him, seeing her peaceful sleeping face, he ultimately restrained himself and only gently kissed the top of her head.
The last time she came to Hong Kong Island, he told her in advance that he wanted to kiss her. At that time, intimate acts between them usually required prior approval, and he was worried that he would scare her.
Now, he didn't need to. He didn't ask or say anything, and he restrained himself all the way, wanting only to kiss her.
Xie Qingci believed that her kissing skills had improved. She had learned to breathe during the last kiss and no longer involuntarily held her breath.
But she never imagined that a kiss could be so intense and unrestrained, like a red-hot iron branding into her skin, boiling with passion and an irresistible urge to part.
She had never received a kiss like this before. Liang Jingzhuo had been restrained, gentle, and gradual in his approach, guiding and comforting her, but not today.
Straightforward and assertive, not allowing her to escape an inch.
Xie Qingci once again found it difficult to breathe, her breath trembled, and she felt the scalding breath of the person in front of her pressing down on her. In the end, she couldn't help but forget her original breathing rate again.
The hook in her mouth stopped after she held her breath for a few seconds, and the burning fire in her chest temporarily sealed the opening.
Liang Jingzhuo turned his face slightly, cradled the back of her head, kissed her forehead, his voice so hoarse it was unrecognizable, and pressed his chin against her temple, reminding her, "Breathe."
The drowning person resurfaced, and Xie Qingci gently resumed her breathing, her lungs slowly expanding as if they had been compressed.
Her forehead rested against his chest, and the surging heartbeat beneath his sternum seemed to penetrate the barrier, throbbing powerfully at the tip of her forehead.
Her eyes were blurry, filled with shimmering moisture, and her cheeks, half-swallowed by the hot mist, remained damp and hot.
Liang Jingzhuo lowered his head, nuzzled the top of the head of the person in his arms, and pulled her tightly into his embrace.
"Didn't I tell you I was coming to find you, so don't wander off?"
Her voice regained a bit of clarity, but her breathing was still slightly labored.
Xie Qingci lowered her head and said softly, "I don't have class this afternoon."
Actually, she couldn't explain why she came. She said she came to coax him, but she knew he wasn't that petty. She just felt that it would be too troublesome for him to go to Jingzhao again, and it was also a bit... too long.
She kept going around in circles, never mentioning that she missed him. Liang Jingzhuo was amused and kissed her bright red ear. "Isn't there even a little bit of longing to see me soon in your heart?"
Xie Qingci's mind was still a bit fuzzy at the moment, and it seemed like he finally understood after being reminded like that.
The person hiding in front of him remained silent for a while before giving a soft reply: "A little."
The answer was the same as when he asked her if she missed him last time he went to Shanghai to see her.
A little.
He believed then that there was indeed only a small amount, but he doesn't believe it now.
He pulled her out of his arms, kissed her forehead, and said, "I don't believe you."
Xie Qingci's eyes darted away as she looked at the shoe stool at her feet. "Even if you don't believe me, this is the answer."
Liang Jingzhuo looked down at her, then laughed in exasperation, "Then I'll ask for some interest; I want it even more than you do."
After saying that, he lifted her chin again and kissed her.
The kiss was slightly gentler than the last one, with an added prelude, but it became incredibly aggressive once it entered the mouth.
Xie Qingci tilted her head back, feeling like her cervical spine was about to break. At the same time, she learned some breathing techniques, lowering the frequency of her breathing, even though she couldn't help but tremble slightly.
As they left through the entrance hall, Liang Jingzhuo lifted her up by her hips, and her legs naturally wrapped around his waist.
Someone accidentally bumped into the switch by the door, and the main light suddenly went out, leaving only a few ambient lights dimly lit.
The sunken reception area in the living room is carpeted; its soft texture, when frequently cleaned, keeps it spotless.
Xie Qingci lay down, her long, thick black hair spreading out, like a splash of dark ink suddenly appearing in mutton-fat jade.
The kiss on her lips continued to steal her breath, and her hands went limp first, knowing what was about to happen.
Recalling the scene from last time, she tilted her head slightly, dodging the kiss that was chasing after her, and pressed her palm against his chest, "Not here."
A burning kiss landed on her ear, comforting her: "Just stay here, we won't go to the window."
That last slightly reckless attempt left her feeling ashamed for a long time. Even though she knew it was a one-way glass, she still couldn't get over the psychological hurdle.
The palm pressed against his chest loosened its grip, and Liang Jingzhuo kissed his lips back from his ear, finally capturing that warm fragrance.
The button-down top has small buttons arranged closely on the front, which are both decorative and practical. It is aesthetically pleasing, but not very practical in this situation.
Halfway through untying the beads, Liang Jingzhuo felt he was almost fully awake. He chuckled helplessly, then, mindful of preventing Xie Qingci from tearing them, he pulled her into his arms and carefully untied each bead one by one.
As the last button was undone, he kissed her again and said, "Next time, could you not torture me by wearing clothes like this?"
Xie Qingci lay down in the soft blanket, her eyes shining like a sea of stars in the dim light, a smile playing on her lips as she deliberately teased him: "No."
He stopped talking and punished her for her deliberate defiance with his actions.
Xie Qingci didn't drink today, but she still felt dizzy. She took the initiative to kiss him back, hug him, and entwine with him.
Her hand was grasped, her fingertips gliding over the bulging abdominal muscles. Xie Qingci struggled slightly and said no.
Liang Jingzhuo coaxed softly, "I won't make it out."
He hadn't taken his clothes off yet; his shirt was open, and his trousers were still fully on.
She had done it before and seen it before, but she was still awkward when it came to touching. Her resistance loosened, and she let him lead her.
Unlike last time, he no longer took the lead, but taught her in a low voice.
He pressed his soft palm against hers, his fingertips damp with sweat, so soft and boneless. He said he missed her terribly, no matter where he was.
Xie Qingci blushed crimson and called him vulgar.
Liang Jingzhuo didn't press her. He smiled as his hot palm touched her delicate leg.
He held up two fingers, as if as evidence, and asked her, "Just a little?"
Xie Qingci blushed even more. "I'm not doing it anymore."
That definitely wouldn't work. Just as he was about to get up, he was pressed back down and kissed on the lips that were not telling the truth.
She got into the zone much faster than the day she drank alcohol.
During this time, I reminded him not to get the blanket dirty.
Liang Jingzhuo casually grabbed the shirt he had just taken off and placed it under her waist.
Another shirt about to be ruined—this was Xie Qingci's last glimmer of clarity before she plunged into an even deeper storm.
The climate on Hong Kong Island is pleasant in winter, but at this moment it felt like being trapped in a giant cage of fire. Xie Qingci was covered in sweat, and although her hair was tied up by the person behind her, a few strands were still wet with sweat and stuck to the side of her face.
Hot sweat slid down every curve of her body, mixing with some of the sweat that he had dripped onto her.
She wanted to tell him to stop, but she didn't even have the strength to speak.
He could easily wrap his hand around the slender, white waist of the woman in front of him, and Liang Jingzhuo's gaze fell on her delicate shoulder blades.
Xie Qingci gripped the carpet tightly in her palm, and as her gaze flickered, she saw the ring on her ring finger, a strange current shooting through her eyes.
...
Xie Qingci lay on the carpet and began to sob softly. The hand clasped at her waist held her back from trying to escape.
...
After it was over, the person behind her leaned down, his broad chest completely enveloping her trembling back.
A kiss landed on her ear, and her hand, adorned with the same ring, enveloped her hand that was clutching the carpet.
The two rings were pressed together, shimmering with a subtle luster in the night.
He kissed her nape and temples repeatedly to comfort her, and said in a hoarse voice, "My good Yao Yao."
The countdown had passed midnight, and Victoria Harbour outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was adorned with the first fireworks of the new year.
The roar pierced through the glass, and the dazzling colors exploded and bloomed in the night sky, reflecting the luxurious night scene.
He kissed her cheek and whispered, "Happy New Year, Yao Yao."
