"Xiao Zhe..."
Xu Zhengxi pinched her slender waist and tried to push her away with a little force.
Unable to resist even slightly, the small body pressed against her again, her nimble little hands deftly removing all obstacles.
The mountain chill seeped in through the window, mingling with the indoor heating and lowering the room temperature by a few degrees.
Xu Zhengxi was pinned to the sofa. He used one hand to grab the remote control to close the window, while the other hand held Xu Zhe's delicate and warm waist, afraid that she might lose her balance and fall.
The indoor temperature rose, and then gradually became scorching hot...
Xu Zhengxi indulged her, handing over all the initiative. Xu Zhe's passionate and unrestrained demeanor captivated him.
How can anyone believe that Xu Zhe, who claims to not love, is like this?
Xu Zhengxi's eyes darkened. He swore to his beloved that he would rise to the pinnacle of power, possess the overwhelming power to protect and love her, and hold her hand to see the world!
As the fireworks faded, the intense emotions within the room were fully released. Xu Zhe lay on top of Xu Zhengxi, his small body trembling slightly.
"Are you cold?" Xu Zhengxi took a blanket from the sofa and wrapped it around him.
"It's hot." Xu Zhe stretched out his arms from under the blanket and wrapped them around Xu Zhengxi's neck.
"Xiao Zhe, study hard and wait for me obediently~" Xu Zhengxi tightened his arms, as if he wanted to meld the person into his body.
Xu Zhe was exhausted, his eyes slightly narrowed, not understanding why he was bringing up studying again at this time...
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, just after lunchtime, Butler Zhou brought people over to clean up and take them home.
Stepping into the house, there was no dust or clutter as expected. Items were neatly arranged, and while the floor and furniture surfaces weren't spotless, they were clean and tidy.
"Miss Zhe did a great job cleaning~" Butler Zhou naturally attributed the cleanliness to Xu Zhe.
I never even imagined that his young master would do any housework.
The living room was empty, but a buzzing sound came from the kitchen. Butler Zhou headed towards the kitchen, but froze as soon as he reached the door.
Wearing an apron, Hsu Cheng-hsi was standing in front of the kitchen counter, stirring batter in an iron bowl with a mixer.
Steward Zhou was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
"You're here." Xu Zhengxi caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye and greeted him first.
Butler Zhou seemed to have been released from his pressure points, swaying slightly before regaining his balance: "Young...Young Master, what are you doing?"
"Bake some cookies, and let Xiao Zhe take them back to eat slowly later." Xu Zhengxi's gaze remained focused on the batter in the bowl.
"Bake, cookies?!" Butler Zhou wondered if he was getting old and was hallucinating, otherwise why would he put the young master and baked cookies together?
"Butler Zhou." Xu Zhe walked over.
"Miss Zhe," Butler Zhou greeted her.
Xu Zhe walked over to Xu Zhengxi and leaned against the kitchen counter to watch him work.
"Go wait in the living room, don't get your clothes dirty," Xu Zhengxi urged her.
Xu Zhe remained motionless as if he hadn't heard her. Knowing that they would soon be separated, she couldn't bear to waste a single moment with him.
"Get out of here," Xu Zhengxi continued, urging people to leave.
Xu Zhe clung to him, saying, "I'll help you out."
Xu Zhengxi laughed: "I haven't seen you help out at all these days."
Xu Zhe: "......"
Butler Zhou: "..." So many days, the young master has been cooking?! Has he heard something incredible?!
Xu Zhengxi wiped his hands and pushed the person out of the kitchen.
"Young Master." Si Kangzhu walked over, looking hurried and serious.
Xu Zhe nodded slightly at his poker face, but the thought that his back was injured because of him made him feel uneasy.
Si Kangzhu nodded slightly to her and Butler Zhou, then closed the kitchen door, separating them from the kitchen.
Xu Zhe shrugged and went back to his bedroom, while Butler Zhou went off to do other things.
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhengxi knew something was wrong as soon as he saw him, otherwise Si Kangzhu wouldn't have suddenly given up his vacation to come here.
Since Secretary Chen was transferred to Beidu, this person has stayed in Beidu and is inseparable from him.
Si Kangzhu let out a soft breath and whispered a report in Xu Zhengxi's ear.
Xu Zhengxi's expression gradually turned cold, his eyes sharp and ruthless, completely different from the "family husband" who baked heart-shaped cookies earlier.
After Si Kangzhu finished reporting, his face was dark and solemn: "Young Master, Pei XX and Master are waiting for you at the Pei Family Manor."
He addressed Pei Li by his official title. The old master of the Pei family, Pei Li, and Pei Xun gathered last night to discuss countermeasures as soon as they received the news, and they didn't even have time to celebrate New Year's Eve.
Fortunately, the Pei family had considerable influence with the media and managed to control the spread of the news in time. That's why they didn't notify Xu Zhengxi overnight. Considering the hardships he endured while being detained and investigated by the organization in Beidu, they only called him over today so that he could have a peaceful New Year.
Xu Zhengxi grunted in response, glanced at the batter that hadn't yet been poured into the cookie molds, tightened his jawline, and walked out of the kitchen.
Si Kangzhu followed closely behind, thinking that the young master would go directly to the Pei family in the car, but unexpectedly he went to the bedroom instead.
He sighed softly, lamenting the cruel twist of fate that the young master and Miss Zhe would soon be separated from him and Chen Cheng, just like them.
Moreover, the young master has encountered trouble again this time, and if not handled properly, it will be even more dangerous than last time.
All he could do was stay by the young master's side and dutifully follow orders.
Xu Zhengxi stepped into the bedroom and saw Xu Zhe packing up her little trinkets.
"Are the cookies in the oven?" Xu Zhe glanced at him and asked.
Xu Zhengxi walked over and hugged her: "No."
Xu Zhe poked her little head out from his arms: "Didn't the batter turn out well?"
Xu Zhengxi didn't speak, but just silently shook her head.
Xu Zhe raised her hand and wrapped it around his waist, waiting quietly for him to give his explanation.
