Chapter 52 Lovers Doing Lovely Things
Cheng Hexi had just stopped crying when she heard his words and was stunned for a moment.
"Bought an island?"
You Yue rarely saw her so lively, and couldn't help but smile.
He held Cheng Hexi in his arms and spoke softly, describing the island as being in the South Pacific with clear waters, a pleasant climate, and stunning scenery. It was also a semi-developed resort island with a newly built airport and convenient transportation.
If you want to have a wedding, you can do it next spring.
He first learned about the island at a dinner party three months ago.
A CEO who dealt in land transactions sat to his left and mentioned it during casual conversation. That CEO had even joked with You Yue at the time, saying that Hongsheng's quarterly financial report was so impressive, didn't CEO You want to buy an island?
You Yue didn't understand the point of buying an island so far away and had no interest whatsoever. He just smiled politely and moved on from the topic.
Later, when he heard Cheng Hexi say that she liked island weddings, he immediately remembered this incident.
Youyue was indeed lucky; the developer just happened to want to auction off the island.
Once You Yue had an idea, he didn't want to wait a moment longer. He laid out his conditions and negotiated with them, ultimately spending a little more money to snatch the deal away.
Cheng Hexi smiled, pursed her lips, and leaned over to ask You Yue if he had any photos.
You Yue unlocked his phone in front of her and helped her find it.
In this circle, everyone has plenty of money; the most important thing is whether you're willing to put in the effort and time.
You Yue was truly dedicated and genuinely remembered every word she said.
He swiped the screen with one hand and put his other arm around Cheng Hexi's shoulder. After finding the picture, he placed his phone in her hand, his gaze fixed on her face, looking at her quietly, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her.
The island, viewed from above, resembles a slightly tilted heart, as if it's about to float away. Construction on the island is nearly complete, with the vast ocean right outside the villas. The South Pacific has pleasant temperatures, making it a very comfortable place to live long-term.
Coincidentally, the last time they talked about weddings was also in Manhattan, but at that time they didn't know each other very well, and the conversation led to a misunderstanding.
Now, You Yue has learned from his mistakes and is making his position clear.
"This island is a birthday gift for you. It can be your vacation island or simply your asset. It's all up to you. It doesn't have to be the place for the wedding."
The chest behind her was warm. Cheng Hexi turned around, looked at him for a while, closed her eyes, and leaned in to kiss his lips.
You Yue chuckled softly and responded gently, letting her take the initiative.
It's like showing her your heart and letting her control your relationship.
After the kiss ended, Cheng Hexi looked at him and asked, "Were you just confessing your love to me?"
You Yue hummed in agreement: "Yes, I love you."
Cheng Hexi's eyes darted around, her gaze fixed on his image, and those three words made her ears turn red.
After a moment, she released her grip on the man's suit jacket and opened her mouth: "I..."
You Yue knew what she was thinking.
He smiled and asked, "Even before today, you could tell I liked you, right?"
Cheng Hexi nodded.
You Yue had never hidden it. And she was insightful, having seen too many charades and ambiguous relationships, she knew what was feigned and what was genuine, so she could naturally see his blatant favoritism.
“But I’ve never said that.” He took Cheng Hexi’s hand and led her to the restaurant, pulling out a chair for her for the umpteenth time.
"What I just said was a confession to let you know my feelings; you can also take it as a promise. Don't worry about how to respond. You know, our relationship is in your hands, so feel free to test me."
She certainly liked You Yue, and there was no reason not to be attracted to him, but the definition of "attracted" was limited by the present moment.
Cheng Hexi always felt that there was love between her mother and He Chongguang, but this love could not withstand the test of temptation and vanished.
Her mother's experience remains a scar on her heart to this day.
She believed in You Yue's character, but she needed unwavering courage.
You Yue understands her, which is why he said that.
"You have feelings for me, don't you?"
Although a suffix was added, Yu Yue is certain of this.
Cheng Hexi has a stronger sense of personal boundaries than he does.
She would tell him about her past and about Cheng Yuqing, and he knew that his feelings for her were different now than before.
"Yes." She had no way to refute this.
She shifted her gaze slightly, finding the man's smile incredibly alluring.
"That's enough."
They are legally married, and there's plenty of time for them to get to each other; You Yue doesn't need her to respond right now.
He needed Cheng Hexi to build trust in their relationship, instead of thinking that a loveless marriage was the most perfect and safe, just like when they first got their marriage certificate.
He chose to confess his feelings today not only because it was Cheng Hexi's birthday, but also because he was certain she wouldn't hide or run away.
If You Yue confesses his feelings, he can guarantee that he will give her his eternal and lasting true heart.
He has always been assertive, and his possessiveness and desire for control are well hidden in his heart.
He wanted Cheng Hexi to be completely moved, and he wanted them to have each other completely.
Having already taken such a long time to plan, You Yue was not in a hurry.
-
The two of them ate very little at noon, almost wasting the money of these Michelin-starred chefs, but You Yue didn't mind. After the meal, he took her hand and walked down the stairs that were filled with flowers, and they slept for half the afternoon in the bedroom.
The room is kept at a constant temperature and humidity, and the mattress is soft and extremely comfortable. Two people can share a thin blanket and hug each other tightly.
When she woke up, the room was bright and warm, with sunlight streaming in but being blocked by the thin curtains. She was held in You Yue's arms, his arms wrapped around her waist, and it felt as if her whole body was covered in his scent.
Following her suggestion, You Yue had someone deliver the raw materials and tools for making the cake. The blueberries were freshly picked from the farm and were very sweet.
Cheng Hexi taught him diligently, and he learned very quickly, even though it was his first time doing these things.
While putting the baked cakes into the refrigerator to chill, You Yue hugged Cheng Hexi from behind, asking her to go back and make cakes for him.
Cheng Hexi smiled. She thought: Why does he still remember this?
She let the man hold her, wondering when he had become so childish. She deliberately brought it up: "I remember when we first started living together, I asked you, and you said you didn't eat sweets."
You Yue held her tightly without letting go or saying a word.
She couldn't help but chuckle: "I can't eat too much, and you still want me to cook for you?"
The bright, dazzling sunlight shone on the lawn outside the kitchen window; the lawn was vast, shimmering with a vibrant golden hue.
You Yue lowered his head and kissed the back of her neck, then chuckled, his voice deep and sexy.
"Then teach me, and I will learn very well."
Looking back now, You Yue still finds it strange; she never imagined she would be so infatuated with someone.
If he had known this day would come, he certainly wouldn't have been so arrogant.
Warm breath brushed against Cheng Hexi's nape.
A tingling sensation ran through her lower back. She bit her lower lip, then turned around and took the initiative to kiss him.
They cuddled together tenderly and slept soundly. You Yue had just confessed his feelings, and now even a simple kiss could set things off, causing a burning sensation to rise where their skin touched.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and the two were deeply moved.
When their lips parted, Cheng Hexi leaned against the refrigerator, her legs so weak she could barely stand, and was pulled back by the man's strong arms.
Cheng Hexi's dress strap had already slipped off her shoulder, and both of them were disheveled.
You Yue took a deep breath, carried her to the sofa, and helped her tidy her clothes.
Cheng Hexi, however, did not let him go. She reached into the man's robe and touched his firm chest muscles, licking and kissing his Adam's apple.
"Don't move," You Yue grabbed Cheng Hexi's wrist with one hand, pressed it to her ear, and said in a hoarse voice, "There's nothing here."
Cheng Hexi let him hold her down, then looked up and laughed at him: "You're not even prepared for this?"
You Yue had long been disappointed in his own self-control. He closed his eyes and said, "I'm here to celebrate your birthday, not to have sex with you."
After saying that, he released the hand of the person who had reached out and prepared to get up.
Cheng Hexi tugged at his belt, smiled, and said softly, "I have one."
When she left the hotel, for some reason, she threw a box of condoms into her suitcase.
Of course she would want him too.
Love and desire are inseparable.
-
Youyue's breath made her feel hot all over.
With her eyes closed and lips slightly parted, she openly displayed her pleasure to the man.
You Yue was so captivated by this unprecedented enthusiasm that she lost all reason, but she still remembered that she had to fly for six or seven hours to attend a wedding the next morning, so she couldn't go too far or leave any obvious traces.
Cheng Hexi's face flushed, her body was also flushed, and she trembled slightly.
Lips and teeth intertwined, necks entwined in tender embrace.
Lovers do things that show their love.
After getting closer to each other, the feeling in the moment is happier than ever before.
In the end, Cheng Hexi's legs could barely support her weight.
Unlike the first time they slept together, You Yuezao was no longer as gentle. He completely tore off his mask of gentlemanly conduct and seemingly considerately pulled her into his arms.
This action caused the person in his arms to close their eyes, tilt their head back, and expose their vulnerable neck to him.
You Yue was a bit fierce today, but her voice was very soft when she was trying to comfort her. She praised her for being great and gently kissed away her tears.
-
Before sunset, the sky was tinged with a faint blue hue, serene and vast.
Cheng Hexi, dressed in a light blue silk dress, stood by the rooftop pool of the villa, gazing at the foreign skyline. Her long hair was loose, highlighting her great figure.
You Yue leaned against the edge of the pool, his strong arms casually draped over the shore, watching her back with a quiet and focused gaze.
Cheng Hexi was unaware of his gaze, but suddenly turned around and ran right into his eyes.
She smiled, grabbed a towel, and walked to the steps. Swimming ashore, he leaned in and kissed her first.
His strong, sexy muscles, glistening with water droplets, were hidden beneath the bath towel. After the kiss, Cheng Hexi asked, "What are you looking at?"
You Yue smiled and whispered, "It depends on who you like."
You Yue pulled her back on the recliner, tilting his head to look at her. The fading afterglow of the setting sun fell on the two of them, and golden light danced on Cheng Hexi's long hair.
"Even though you don't want to hear me say thank you, I still have to," Cheng Hexi said casually, yet solemnly. "Thank you for making my first day of my 29th year unforgettable."
You Yue smiled and let her lean into his arms.
She insisted on thanking him, and what could he do but accept her gratitude?
He knew that Cheng Hexi was genuinely happy today; an indescribable sense of accomplishment overcame the slight fatigue from working non-stop.
While eating cake downstairs, she closed her eyes and made a wish; when she opened her eyes, her gaze was devout.
As You Yue watched this scene, a warm feeling welled up inside him. He only wished that she would be happy every day, not just on her birthday.
I hope she won't have insomnia or stomach aches anymore.
I hope she will stop crying because of the past and only shed tears for good things from now on.
-
At that moment, Cheng Hexi and he lay together on the recliner, watching the night gradually fall.
After a short day, we must part ways again tomorrow.
She turned her head to look.
Just then, You Yue also turned his gaze over.
When they arrived at the villa, Cheng Hexi asked You Yue when he was leaving. After he answered, she asked him if she would miss him.
Now, he brought up the topic and wanted her to give an answer.
Cheng Hexi chuckled at his persistence and nodded honestly, "Yes."
To draw near to warmth and draw love is human nature.
Hearing this answer, You Yue was satisfied and asked her when she would return to Beijing.
Cheng Hexi said, "We will land on the evening of the 12th."
You Yue nodded: "I'll come pick you up."
She smiled and said, "I have a driver, so don't bother."
He then teased him, "President You, how dare you say such things without even checking the schedule? Don't add to Assistant Qi's burden."
You Yue lazily hugged her, obediently checking his schedule while joking with her in a serious tone: "I'm twenty-nine, and after working so hard for so many years, am I not allowed to date?"
Cheng Hexi couldn't help but laugh.
The night sky is vast, and the bright moon hangs high.
She suddenly realized that he might be by her side for every birthday from now on.
Will all of these moments of warmth and tenderness be unforgettable?
