Kiss him?
Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, and her ears quickly turned a little red.
She pushed him away, "You wish!"
The flame burning in Xie Huaiyang's eyes suddenly went out with a "whoosh".
In the blink of an eye.
He leaned over and covered him again.
His tall figure made the air between the two of them feel even more cramped.
"Oh..." He pressed his forehead against hers, like a large, abandoned dog, his voice thick with aggrieved nasal tones, and mumbled:
"How about a hug?"
Shen Zhiyi felt his hot breath, and her cheeks burned as well.
Without waiting for her reply.
Xie Huaiyang tightened his arms, wrapping them firmly around her waist and back.
The enormous size difference trapped her immobile between his hot, broad body and the cold perfume station, domineeringly overwhelming all her senses.
Xie Huaiyang lowered his head, his chin resting heavily on her thin shoulder, his warm cheek buried in the crook of her neck, like a large dog pleading humbly yet possessively, and whispered, "Don't push me away, baby."
He greedily inhaled her fragrance.
His rough fingertips and palms caressed her waist and spine.
Shen Zhiyi froze.
A jolt of electricity surged through her body, causing her to unconsciously cling to his chest, biting her lips until they left red marks.
"Xie Huaiyang... I told you, don't just hug me like that..."
She should hate him.
But his dependence and possessiveness, for some reason, were like a small pebble thrown into the lake of her heart, creating ripples that were unfamiliar to her.
Even her eyelashes trembled slightly.
"I didn't mean it casually." Xie Huaiyang hugged her tighter, his heart pounding uncontrollably, vibrating in her ears like a drum, making her feel numb all over.
“I’m very serious, okay?” he said in a hoarse voice.
"Can't I really kiss you?"
He sighed softly, his muscles stiffening, and his voice, both soothing and passionate, lingered on him, "I want to kiss you so much."
Shen Zhiyi was so embarrassed she wanted to die.
I wish I could bite him and chew away his scoundrel-like nature.
She never imagined that she would hear such words from Xie Huaiyang in her lifetime.
She got goosebumps.
"Let go of me now." She gripped his chest muscles, slightly out of breath, and said, "If you keep bothering me, you won't be going to dinner with Mingjie tonight."
Xie Huaiyang closed his eyes, suppressing the burning heat in his blood.
"That won't work."
He insisted, "Wherever the baby goes, I will follow."
"Don't even think about getting rid of me."
Forever...

The neon lights are just coming on.
Inside the most expensive private room in Mu City, a woman wearing a red bodycon dress and a white feather shawl sat in the center of the sofa, surrounded and flattered by a group of her girlfriends.
"Chu Ying, your boyfriend is so good to you! This bag is a limited edition!"
"Yeah, and that necklace you're wearing, it must be worth over ten thousand, right? I'm so envious!"
"President Zhang really treats you like a precious gem."
“He’s the owner of the biggest spice factory in Mu City, of course he’s willing to spend money on Chu Ying.”
"Hey, didn't Mr. Zhang come with you today? Why don't you invite him to come and have a drink with you?"
Ni Chuying basked in the envious glances from all around her, and curled her lips smugly.
"He's discussing business in the next private room."
"Ignore him."
"Anyway, he's paying for all the drinks tonight, so everyone can drink to their heart's content!"
The crowd gasped in amazement, showering them with compliments.
Ni Chuying was immersed in the friendliness and goodwill built on money, and her vanity was greatly satisfied.
She knew that staying in Mucheng and not going to Beijing to meet Xie Huaiyang was the right thing to do.
Otherwise, how could they escape that suffocating, cage-like life and live such a decadent and extravagant life now?
Although Zhang Tuo was just a wealthy boss in Mu City, whose assets were far less than those of the Xie family in Beijing, she was someone who had lived a second life and naturally knew that some things could not be judged by appearances alone.
Although Xie Huaiyang came from a top-tier wealthy family, he was a dissolute and incompetent playboy, completely different from his brother Xie Sili, and had no say in the Xie family.
He has no status, but his temper is exceptionally eccentric and morbid.
In her past life, she met him in Beijing. Because she got close to his brother Xie Sili, he coveted her.
But it seems he's only using her being at home to prove something.
Or perhaps, he simply enjoys fighting over things related to his brother.
She was captivated by his good looks and, in order to provoke Xie Sili, agreed to date him.
Little did he know, he didn't truly love her at all!
Once she became his girlfriend, he lost interest in her and instead kept her locked up at home, monitoring and controlling her, making morbid threats, and preventing her from getting close to Xie Sili in any way.
She was like a chess piece, deprived of her freedom, and at his mercy.
She really didn't want to live that kind of life again.
Perhaps her desire was too strong, for she was actually reborn!
To avoid running into Xie Huaiyang, she never even went to the capital city in her life, and she didn't even dare to get close to his brother, Xie Sili.
She initially had some regrets.
But everything changed when she met Zhang Tuo.
As long as she clings firmly to this big tree, Ni Chuying believes that she will definitely be able to live a better life in this lifetime than in her previous life.
The next private room.
Xie Huaiyang leaned back in his chair with a relaxed posture, but his arm was draped possessively over the back of the chair behind Shen Zhiyi.
His fingertips idly twirled a strand of her hair.
Sitting opposite him were Mingjie and Zhang Tuo, the owner of the largest spice factory in Mucheng.
