Chapter 411 Silent Quarrel

The soft and furry touch of the gloves seems to carry human body temperature, as if it can warm up this cold winter night.

"Why did you come back early?" For a moment, it seemed that everything that had been planned in the past was no longer important. Only the temperature transmitted through the contact between cheeks and gloves occupied all the thoughts in my mind.

Su Yun smiled and said, "I missed you, so I stayed up all night to finish my work, and then I took... a plane back."

Originally, she wanted to say that red-eye flights are more pitiful - but considering the previous accidents caused by red-eye flights, Su Yun decisively changed her statement.

Zhuang Long didn't seem to notice the pause when Su Yun was talking. He just stared at her closely and smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Welcome back."

"Won't you let me in and sit for a while?" Su Yun tilted her head slightly. "It's not convenient for me to go home at this time, and it's probably hard to get a taxi outside."

"And... maybe there are paparazzi lurking nearby." Su Yun said, and snuggled into his arms in an intimate manner.

Knowing that this heartless guy was using him as a shield, but seeing that she had fallen into his trap, Zhuang Long grabbed her waist, which was still slender even in the thick cotton-padded jacket, and then used his free hand to get the key and open the door.

After entering the room, the chill of the winter night was immediately isolated outside. Su Yun unscrupulously loosened his hand, but forgot that there was still a restraint around his waist. When his intention to cross the river and then destroy the bridge was discovered, the other party immediately tightened his hand.

With one step back and one pull, he was pulled closer.

Feeling the delicate touch of the cashmere fabric on his face, Su Yun slowly raised his head, aimed at the slightly pale lips and kissed them.

The hand on the waist tightened again. The feeling of reunion after a long separation was like a spark that set the prairie on fire. A flame of desire was instantly ignited. The strong emotion mixed with the alcohol, and soon my head was filled with a dizzy feeling, half drunk.

"Tonight, how much did you drink tonight?" Su Yun finally stepped back for a while before asking, but was dragged back again.

Only when she felt that her breathing was not smooth did he let her go, and then buried his head in her neck again, and the heat of his voice brushed past her like a teasing: "I haven't been sleeping well recently... so I drank too much without realizing it."

"Why can't I sleep well? Are you too tired from work?" Su Yun thought for a while. Zhuang Long was indeed filming "Grave Robber 3" while receiving various trainings for "The Last Emperor" during this period, and he was basically the one who led the promotion of the movie. To be honest... he was really that busy.

"The work isn't too tiring..." He took Su Yun's hand and gently pressed it on his left chest, "It's mainly mentally tiring."

"Why do you like taking red-eye flights so much?" He said softly. His tone was quite calm, but Su Yun seemed to be able to sense the undercurrent.

"It was just an accident." Su Yun sighed.

"But you didn't refuse explicitly, did you?" His voice became softer and softer, but the look in his eyes became darker and darker.

Su Yun looked at his expression and opened her mouth to say something, but he suddenly hugged her tightly again: "Don't, don't say anything."

"Just pretend I didn't say that." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Are you tired? Are you hungry? Do you want to have some midnight snack?"

"I do feel a little hungry." Knowing that he was really trying to change the subject, Su Yun raised her hand slightly to check her watch. It was almost four in the morning. "Do you have anything else to eat in the refrigerator?"

Zhuang Long loosened his hand, strode to the refrigerator, opened the door and looked inside: "There are still some eggs and beef left... How about making you some egg and beef rice?"

"Okay, I've been eating either modified Chinese food or all kinds of weird Western food. After all, traditional Chinese food suits me best." Su Yun put her coat, gloves and scarf on the hanger and rolled up her sleeves while talking. "Do you need help?"

"No need, it will be ready soon. You can sit on the sofa and take a rest." Zhuang Long took the ingredients and walked into the kitchen, saying without looking back.

However, in front of him, Su Yun was never an obedient child. Seeing him enter the kitchen, she followed him quietly, leaning against the door frame and quietly admiring the cool, noble and handsome man cooking soup.

Seeing that he performed the moves quite skillfully, Su Yun couldn't help but laugh: "Which store did you learn this from?"

"You will learn it naturally if you watch it more." Perhaps because he was worried that Su Yun would be hungry, his movements were quick and efficient. After preparing the ingredients, he put them in a small clay pot and added seasonings to simmer them together. After a while, the aroma of the food filled the entire kitchen along with the lingering smoke.

"It smells so good." Watching the whole small clay pot being brought to the dining table, Su Yun opened the lid, and the tempting aroma became more overbearing.

I couldn't wait to scoop a big spoonful of it into my mouth, and the delicious taste and boiling temperature instantly exploded in my mouth.

"No one is competing with you for it, why are you in such a hurry?" He handed me a cup of warm water with a look of both anger and amusement, "Be careful not to get burned."

"It's already scalding..." Su Yun took the water cup with a bitter face and took a big sip. Then he started to complain without any reason, "It's all your fault. You made it so delicious, I couldn't help it."

"You just can't help it. It's not my fault." Zhuang Long picked up a tissue and wiped the water from the corner of Su Yun's mouth. Unexpectedly, Su Yun laughed out loud as if he couldn't stand the itch, and dodged left and right.

"You are such a good wife and mother, John." Su Yun looked at him and chuckled.

"I want to be a 'virtuous wife and loving mother', but unfortunately a certain heartless person not only refuses to give me the title, but also takes advantage of my absence to attract many flirtatious lovers." His eyebrows, which had drooped due to the wiping action, raised up, showing three parts of annoyance, three parts of complaints, and the remaining four parts of worry, "Why are you thinner again?"

"It's normal to be thin when you're busy working outside and don't eat well." Feeling the concern in his words, Su Yun couldn't help but act coquettishly with him, "You've lost weight too, haven't you? Come on, open your mouth——"

Seeing Su Yun holding a spoon and stretching it out to him as if to feed him, Zhuang Long could only open his mouth with a helpless smile and swallow the beef and rice on the spoon in one gulp.

Taking turns to eat, the not-so-large portion of beef and egg rice was soon finished. Zhuang Long reached out and touched Su Yun's hair, then stood up to clear the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash.

When he came out of the kitchen, Su Yun was already curled up on the long sofa in the living room and fell asleep.

Looking at this peaceful sleeping face, all the resentment and anger caused by the scandal and the longing for each other due to the long separation seemed to have all gone away at this moment, and the only thing left was the infinite tenderness of the lover by his side.

He should have understood from the beginning that she, who had reached such a position and had such dreams, could never belong to just one person.

But the feeling of exclusivity was so beautiful and warm that even though I had already been mentally prepared for intrigue and jealousy, before such negative emotions came, I couldn't help but want to weave a beautiful dream of exclusivity for myself to comfort my lonely and deserted heart.

He took out a blanket from the room, walked to the sofa as lightly as possible, and then covered Su Yun with the blanket with the most gentle movements. Then, Zhuang Long sat on the edge of the sofa, quietly looking at the peaceful sleeping face for a long time.

This is the quietest time of the day. It seems that the only sound between heaven and earth is the whistling of the night wind outside the window. When the wind dies down, it is so quiet that you can almost hear a person's heartbeat.

As if possessed by a ghost, he leaned down, brushed away the scattered hair on Su Yun's forehead with one hand, and gave her a kiss as light as a feather above her eyebrows.

All those troubled emotions seemed to be soothed by this kiss, making him wish that time would stop from then on.

The night gradually faded away, and soon the light of a new day appeared on the horizon.

Su Yun opened her eyes dazedly, and after meeting a pair of black eyes with a faint dark blue under them, she was slightly stunned, and then asked in a hoarse voice as if she was half asleep and half awake: "Is it dawn?"

"It's already light." Zhuang Long replied softly.

"It's already this time? I want to go..." Su Yun raised her hands from the blanket and saw that her watch showed it was already 7:30 in the morning. She struggled to sit up, "hiss——"

Maybe it was because the curled-up sleeping position on the sofa last night depressed my nerves, and the movement of standing up immediately caused a shock of pain.

Zhuang Long quickly reached out to support her, and rubbed her shoulders, neck, and arms for a long time. After making sure that her tense muscles had relaxed, he asked softly, "Can you not leave?"

"No, I have to go back. Mother-in-law and A-Mei haven't seen me for a long time. If I don't go back, they will be very anxious..." Su Yun answered subconsciously.

"You know, that's not what I meant." He lowered his eyes and said again.

"It's impossible for me to belong to just one person, John." Su Yun looked at him and finally said this truth that everyone knew but couldn't help but ignore.

As soon as he said this, the expression on his face became even colder, and his extremely complicated eyes vaguely revealed a hint of hurt.

But Su Yun did not say anything else. She just looked into those eyes that concealed a myriad of complex emotions with her calm, almost cruel eyes.

After a long moment, he sneered, walked quickly to the door, turned the door open, and walked out without looking back.
