Previously, Lan Shan and Zhao Jiening's relationship had always been respectful and intimate, with their most intimate gesture being holding hands. But now, Zhao Jiening had climbed onto his neck, almost hanging on him, and said, "Ru Feng, I like you so much, please give yourself to me."
Lan Shan panicked, her breathing became erratic, and she didn't know where to put her hands. "Jie... Jie Ning, I..."
Zhao Jiening laughed; her man was quite shy. "What do you mean, 'you don't like me'?"
How could he not like it? He liked it so much that he changed his way of doing things and openly declared it in public—something unimaginable. "I like it."
Zhao Jiening grabbed his hand and placed it on her waist, saying, "If you like me, kiss me."
Lanshan leaned against the wall, his back stiff, and looked at her cute appearance with her eyes closed. He lightly pecked her eyelashes.
Touching her eyelids, Zhao Jiening smiled dreamily, tiptoed, and kissed him. "Like this." Their lips met, a sweet and refreshing taste filling their mouths.
Zhao Jiening laughed so hard her shoulders trembled. She felt like a bad girl who had corrupted her innocent little boy. She took his hand and said, "Rufeng, let's go upstairs."
The LOFT layout features a first floor for meeting and working, and a second floor for restful sleep.
“It’s daytime now.” Lan Shan racked his brains and came up with this reason.
"Can't I sleep during the day? I've been busy with my dad's birthday lately, I'm exhausted."
When it comes to being tired, Lanshan immediately softens.
The second floor was partitioned off, and the ceiling was very low, making it feel a bit cramped when standing up. Zhao Jiening simply leaped up, then rolled around in her Blue Mountain coffee bean blanket. "Mmm, even the blanket smells of coffee beans," she thought, "it smells so good." Lying spread-eagled, she extended an invitation to him, "Rufeng, come here."
Blue Mountain remained still, daring not to move.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jiening grabbed her and fell down. She leaned close, her breath audible, her eyes burning, "Rufeng, do you have that thing at home?"
"What...thing?" Lan Shan's voice was almost hoarse.
"This is for you, something to make you love me more. A capital T."
Lan Shan's face flushed red. "No, I've never used it."
Zhao Jiening sat up with a mixture of regret and satisfaction, a smile playing on her lips. "Rufeng, were you waiting for me? In this vast sea of people, you weren't tempted by any other girls, you were only waiting for me?"
Such directness. Only Zhao Jiening would say something like that.
"I guess no girl would like someone as dull and boring as me," Lan Shan said with a self-deprecating laugh. Before Zhao Jiening, all he saw were coffee beans and coffee; now, the scenery in his eyes was much richer.
Zhao Jiening stroked his eyebrows and the hair on his forehead, "Who said that? You're the best man in the world. You're focused and responsible. If you treated me like you treat coffee beans, I'd wake up laughing in my dreams."
Lan Shan rubbed her fingertips and suddenly laughed, "Jie Ning, you are more important than coffee beans, and you are cuter than coffee beans."
He considered coffee beans his life, but now she is more important than coffee beans.
This is the most touching confession.
Zhao Jiening's eyes welled up with tears. She slipped on her shoes by the bed, stood up, and said, "Let's go to the supermarket." She added, "Love also needs restraint; we need to take precautions."
Blue Mountain touched its ears and felt that it was going to get pregnant today.

When Lan Shan and Zhao Jiening left the Zhao family, Huo Yunchao and Xue Qiandai also took their leave.
Madam Zhao held Xue Qiandai's hand, her voice filled with reluctance, "Dai Dai, you're leaving so soon? Stay a little longer!"
"Auntie, I'll come see you again when I have some free time."
The sentimental Mrs. Zhao, her eyes brimming with tears, said, "You young people are so good at sweet-talking, you say you'll come but you never do. Can I come find you? You're at the W Hotel, right?"
“Madam,” Zhao Sheng put his arm around his wife’s shoulder and gently comforted her, “Young people have a lot to do. Look how capable Dai Dai is. Let’s not bother her.”
“Brother Sheng, you don’t need to send me to the sanatorium. I’m all better now. Just let me see Dai Dai often.”
Xue Qiandai's heartstrings were suddenly plucked. Wasn't this pampered canary lady, kept in a cage, also a pitiful person? Xue Qiandai had lost her mother at a young age, and having someone of similar age to her mother who loved and cared for her was a kind of comfort to her. "Auntie, I usually stay at the coffee shop downstairs from the W Hotel. You can come find me when you're free."
Zhao Jiequn watched her stepmother from a short distance away and felt even more strongly that she should improve her relationship with her stepmother so that she could openly accompany her mother to see Dai Dai.
Once inside the Mercedes-Benz, Huo Yunchao drove while Xue Qiandai took a short nap in her seat.
"Are you tired? How about coming back to Kunyu Bay with me?"
She's been busy with all sorts of things and hasn't gone in a long time. Our planned weekly getaway for just the two of us is now ruined.
"My dear, I miss my mother and father." She opened her eyes, her expression calm yet heartbreaking.
Huo Yunchao reached out a hand and stroked her hair. "Dai Dai, you still have me."
"Yes, thank goodness I still have you." Her world had once been bleak, but Huo Meiren was her faith.
The light was red ahead, so Huo Yunchao changed the subject, "You've got some nerve today. A bet of 100 million yuan, and you scared that rich kid half to death!"
Xue Qiandai's mood improved, and her gloomy expression cleared up. "With you here, I dare to break through any barrier, because in the end you won't abandon me."
Huo Yunchao felt very pleased with his girlfriend's trust. "Your barista is truly blessed with good fortune. It's no wonder you've helped him so much."
“I’m not just helping him, I’m helping myself too. I noticed that there are several hotel tycoons and media people here today…” Mentioning the media people, she thought of Yuan Mu, and her expression turned cold. Yuan Mu didn’t greet her, perhaps because he felt guilty. “I’ll take this opportunity to advertise, maybe some business partners will come knocking on my door.”
Xue Qiandai was right; today's trending topics were dominated by "the love story between a rich heiress and a barista," "Yunnan small-grain coffee beans," and "a former rich heiress's high-stakes gamble."
Huo Yunchao's eyes gleamed as he stepped on the gas. "So, even I have to ride your coattails. This coffee bean charity is something I can do; I've been looking for a good charity project anyway."
Large companies typically allocate a certain amount of funds for charitable and public welfare activities each year; this reflects a company's sense of mission.
"Didn't you just establish a charitable foundation for the rights of women in the office?"
Oh, I forgot. He smiled and said, "Dai Dai, I love the world now because of you."
Therefore, all charitable causes are related to her.
In this respect, Huo Yunchao and Lan Shan are very similar; both are people with great love in their hearts.
"My beauty, you are so wonderful, the best person in the world."
The car was heading towards Kunyu Bay when Xue Qiandai suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, could you help me make some arrangements? I'd like to see Feng Zhong."
Feng Zhong is the manager of Youyue Club and Hua Yin's right-hand man. The key to the Xue family case may lie with Feng Zhong. Feng Zhong is currently in prison.
