Chapter 57 What a nuisance! Where did you learn so many new tricks from...?
Liang Ming was extremely easy to talk to today. Zhou Jinqin only made concessions for half an hour, and he surprisingly accepted them calmly.
He held the woman in his arms tighter, then quickly flipped her over, switching their positions and regaining control.
Liang Minghe raised his body to look at the slender and soft woman beneath him. His peach blossom eyes had a natural locking gaze, which inevitably appeared aggressive when he stared at her. However, the pink blush around his eyes softened this effect, making his eyes look even more affectionate and dreamy.
As Zhou Jinqin felt uncomfortable under that gaze and tried to escape, the man's dry, warm kiss landed forcefully, lingering on every part of her body, yet never stopping at her yearning lips.
Did he want to hear her scream uncontrollably, or was he deliberately leaving her room to explain her actions with Jia Yang during the day? The former was an absolute test of shame, but wasn't the latter just as important? Zhou Jinqin smiled helplessly, thinking that a man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, so difficult to understand.
"What are you laughing at?" Liang Minghe lifted his head from under her stomach, his high, straight nose sparkling, and his full lips glistening.
Seeing his soaking wet appearance, Zhou Jinqin knew she was partly responsible, and her face flushed even more. She half-closed her eyes, avoiding looking at his humiliatingly handsome face, and forced a calm tone, saying, "I'm laughing at you for being such a stingy person..."
Liang Minghe straightened up and moved a few inches, stopping when his eyes were level with his.
The two looked at each other, or more accurately, Liang Minghe was forcing Zhou Jinqin to look at him with his burning gaze.
"Well, don't you have anything to say to that stingy person?" Liang Minghe asked her.
The man's face was so close, so superior that even his pores were flawless. It was hard not to be captivated by those alluring peach blossom eyes. Zhou Jinqin's breath unconsciously stopped, until the tightness in her chest and the incoherent sounds in her throat overflowed, and she suddenly realized that she had become the fish that Liang Taigong had willingly taken the bait.
Zhou Jinqin blinked, raised her hand to cover Liang Minghe's overly seductive eyes, and suddenly felt that she had temporarily redeemed herself.
She murmured in a hoarse voice, "Jia Yang and I just bumped into each other by chance. We didn't arrange to go to the bookstore together, and we didn't do anything out of line. You said you would trust me, but the resentment you're suppressing now clearly tells me that's not what you think."
Zhou Jinqin didn't intend to bring up Jia Yang's subsequent strange behavior. On one hand, it was just her personal speculation, and it wasn't appropriate to use it as gossip between lovers, as that would be too malicious to Jia Yang. On the other hand, it was also a self-protective measure. After all, if Liang Minghe found out, he would definitely be furious, and then that night wouldn't be something she could discuss with time.
Liang Minghe shook his head: "I'm sorry, I will apologize, but I must reiterate that I have never trusted Jia Yang, not you."
He blinked, his long eyelashes brushing against his palm, the sticky moisture from them rubbing onto his hand. He said, "I'm just a little jealous."
Recalling Jia Yang's strange words, Zhou Jinqin suddenly felt she had no way to refute them. She lowered her eyelashes and said softly, "I know, I don't blame you. I just don't like how you always keep things bottled up inside. This is clearly a punishment for me."
She spoke with a hint of grievance: "I feel very sad too."
"I'm sorry, baby." Liang Minghe's voice was slightly deep, particularly stirring in the quiet night. "What do you want me to do?"
Zhou Jinqin was so embarrassed that she hesitated for a moment, but she quickly rallied and revealed her true feelings: "I want you... to kiss me."
Looking back one day, Zhou Jinqin will be surprised to find that after leaving home, she has begun to learn to express her inner likes and dislikes.
Both of them knew perfectly well what this kiss was meant to take from. Liang Minghe smiled and raised the corners of his lips, still accurately capturing those small and lovely lips even though his view was blocked.
A salty, moist, lingering, and profound kiss reluctantly ended, and it was time to move on to the next step.
Zhou Jinqin, panting, with blurry eyes, reached out to pull on the man's strong arm with bulging veins, and whispered to him, "The sheets were just changed this afternoon."
Her intention was to remind the other person to put down a blanket, but Liang Minghe seemed to have his own ideas. He rolled off the bed and pulled the woman curled up in the middle of the bed into his arms.
"Let's go somewhere else." The man's husky, deep voice was exceptionally sexy.
Before Zhou Jinqin could react, she saw Liang Minghe throw a pillow on the floor in front of the bay window, and then lead her to kneel on the ground.
The bay window in the bedroom wasn't very high; it was just the length of Zhou Jinqin's thigh, a height that was just enough for her to prop herself up and lean on the bay window.
The bay window was covered with many layers of soft cushions, making it warm and cozy, not cold or uncomfortable. It was originally set up by Liang Minghe so that Tuantuan could sunbathe, but the kitten didn't come...
This new attempt was too strenuous and exhausting. In no time, Zhou Jinqin was completely worn out, so much so that she couldn't even recall how she had managed to get through that long period of time.
The next day, Zhou Jinqin was still huddled in bed when she vaguely heard Liang Minghe ask her, looking refreshed, if she wanted to get up for breakfast.
She blushed and muttered, "Where did you learn so many new tricks from..."
She didn't dare say anything more, but Liang Minghe guessed what was going on. He leaned close to her ear and chuckled sweetly, "Isn't it good? I know you'll get tired eventually, so of course I have to find a way to please you."
He was always like that; he could make even the most mundane words sound incredibly vivid. Zhou Jinqin couldn't bear to listen anymore, so she pulled up the blanket and burrowed inside to escape.
Liang Minghe didn't intend to let her off so easily. Before leaving, he hugged her through the blanket and joked, "But baby, I think you really need to work out and build muscle, especially your legs."
Zhou Jinqin didn't want to hear those meaningful words anymore, so she stayed in bed without moving and covered her ears, pretending to be dead.
Liang Ming and Xiao Xiao stopped teasing her: "Alright, you can sleep a little longer, I'm going out to buy breakfast."
Liang Minghe came out of the bedroom and saw Liang Jiahe sitting at the dining table reading a book with great interest. Only then did he realize that there was an uninvited guest in the house.
"What are you looking at?" he asked with a stern face.
Liang Jiahe was startled and instinctively tried to hide the comic book behind him, but he couldn't escape Liang Minghe's speed.
The book was quickly confiscated, and Liang Jiahe tried to appeal to his emotions: "My sister-in-law gave it to me yesterday..."
"Is this one too?" Liang Minghe pulled out a book from under Tuantuan as well.
“That’s Brother Jiayang…” Liang Jiahe met the man’s gaze and quickly changed his words, “It was Uncle Jiayang who gave it to me.”
Red and green, what a ridiculous combination! They just don't look right together.
Liang Minghe confiscated the two books: "Have you finished your homework before reading comics?"
Liang Jiahe shrank back guiltily: "No."
The child glanced at him and muttered, "But Dad said you never did your homework before..."
Liang Minghe showed no remorse and coldly replied, "Then go back and talk to him. He'll definitely understand why you didn't do your homework."
“No,” Liang Jiahe raised his voice, “I’ll write it.”
Not only was their time together disrupted, but Liang Minghe also had no interest in taking care of the child. He glared at Liang Jiahe and said, "There's no room for discussion. Whether you write it or not, you have to go back."
However, things didn't go as planned; Liang Zongqiang was determined to leave his youngest son, the hostage, here.
The nanny who takes care of Liang Jiahe's daily life came in the morning, bringing new clothes for him to change into.
Liang Minghe frowned and asked, "Aren't you going to take him back?"
The aunt nodded: "The master and madam are away on a business trip this weekend, and there will be no one to take care of the young master when he gets back, so we may have to trouble you again..."
“Isn’t it you who’s here?” Liang Minghe interrupted her. “I think even if his parents were here, it would be useless. There’s no need to consider them.”
The auntie gave an awkward laugh: "Well, my husband gave me two days off, and I was planning to go home after I delivered the things."
Clearly, this is all part of Liang Zongqiang's unscrupulous tactics.
In short, Liang Jiahe was like a ball, pushed back and forth between the two sides, and in the end, he was left with Liang Minghe.
Knowing that his presence was not well-liked, Liang Jiahe behaved very well throughout the meal, and after eating, he obediently sat down at the table to do his homework.
Zhou Jinqin took the bowl that Liang Minghe took out of the dishwasher and asked him curiously, "Don't you find it annoying?"
"A little, I guess. He interrupted my good time." Liang Minghe's words were not serious, but at least he didn't seem genuinely annoyed with the child.
This house was designed by Liang Ming himself. He never thought that a woman would move in one day, so the entire layout of the house was designed according to his height requirements.
For example, Zhou Jinqin has to stand on tiptoe and stretch her arms to reach the kitchen cabinets.
Liang Minghe wrapped his arms around her from behind, reached out and put the bowl in her hand into the cupboard. He lowered his head and kissed the top of her warm hair, saying slowly, "Of all the houses in the house, we haven't tried the kitchen yet."
Liang Minghe was so good at showcasing his voice that he easily made Zhou Jinqin blush and her heart race. She pushed him away and called him a lecher, then angrily ran to the sofa, picked up a magazine, and pretended to be busy.
Liang Minghe was like a piece of chewing gum, and quickly followed. However, because there was a child present, he did not do anything out of line. He just obediently rested his head on her lap, petted the cat, and flipped through picture books.
Zhou Jinqin was the type of person who would lose track of time once she started studying. When she finished the article in her hand and was about to take a sip of water and rest for a while, she suddenly met the man's staring eyes on her lap.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhou Jinqin asked, embarrassed.
Liang Ming asked curiously, "Are all the employees in your company highly educated?"
Zhou Jinqin thought for a moment and said, "Not necessarily. It mainly depends on ability, but our department and the R&D department do have relatively higher requirements."
"What about Jia Yang?" Liang Ming asked, getting straight to the point.
“He’s a graduate student.” Zhou Jinqin, afraid he’d start getting jealous again for no reason, rubbed his cheek and asked, “Why are you suddenly asking this?”
"Nothing much? I'm just considering whether to go back and pursue a master's degree," Liang Minghe said.
Zhou Jinqin could guess why. Instead of giving a negative answer, she said objectively, "It's good that you have the idea of improving yourself, but you need to consider it carefully. If you want to take the postgraduate entrance exam in China, you will definitely not have much test-taking experience since you went abroad early. You will need to invest more time and energy in the preparation. In this case, you may need to give up your current job. Is that possible?"
She paused, picked up her water glass, took a sip, and then continued, "Of course, it would be much better if you applied to schools abroad."
But that would mean separation for the two of them, which Liang Minghe didn't want.
He shook his head: "I don't want to separate."
Liang Minghe had learned his lesson, and sometimes he wondered if his mother would not have died so easily if he hadn't gone abroad to study, and that he wouldn't have even been able to see her one last time.
Afraid that Zhou Jinqin would worry, he put on a smile again to tease her: "You know I bring this up because I'm jealous."
Zhou Jinqin didn't think it was just a simple joke. She touched his cheek and said seriously, "Whatever decision you make, I will support you."
What she fears most is that the people she loves will be like her mother, compromising for her, sacrificing for her, suffering for her, and becoming unlike themselves in the name of love. This is not what she wants to see.
Liang Minghe nodded, took her hand and kissed it: "Yes, I will think about it carefully."
He smiled and said childishly, "I want some water."
Zhou Jinqin pointed to the cup, which was still mostly full of water, and urged him to get up and drink, but Liang Minghe remained unmoved, simply staring at her with those burning eyes.
Zhou Jinqin instantly understood what he meant. She felt ashamed but did not refuse. She turned her head to look at Liang Jiahe, who was doing his homework seriously in the distance, and thought that the back of the sofa would be a good partition.
Thinking this, she took a sip of water, lowered her head, and fed it to Liang Minghe.
Liang Minghe pressed his hand on her back, trying to deepen the kiss.
"Yay! I'm done writing!" Liang Jiahe suddenly exclaimed from behind.
Startled, Zhou Jinqin immediately sat up straight. Her face flushed red, she tried to remain calm and echoed, "Ah, Jiahe is so great! What kind of reward do you want?"
Her attempt to cover up the truth only made things worse, but fortunately, the person opposite her was just an innocent child who knew nothing. Liang Minghe was amused by her cute appearance and his eyes crinkled with laughter.
Liang Jiahe glanced at Liang Minghe, who had already "woke up" and sat up beside him, and tentatively asked, "Can I ask if I can go to the amusement park tomorrow? My parents are too busy to take me..."
After all, she was just a sister-in-law, so Zhou Jinqin couldn't make the decision on her own. Therefore, she looked at Liang Minghe beside her with an expectant gaze.
Liang Minghe chuckled: "What? You want to speak up for him?"
Zhou Jinqin shook her head and said seriously, "My parents have never taken me to an amusement park."
