The Range Rover was parked at the entrance to the home. Qi Youxuan grabbed his bag and was the first to get off from the car. He ran into the house and shouted, “Nanny Liu, I’m hungry!”
Qi Chengzhi removed the car keys and got off. Song Yu then proceeded to get off as well, but she barely stepped foot out of the car when Qi Chengzhi blocked her at the door.
His lanky figure obstructed the door completely, preventing any light from outside to come in.
Song Yu looked up and met his penetrating gaze.
It had been a fairly long time since she saw such an expression. Thus, came her flustered feelings.
She recalled their first meeting, way back before they were involved with each other. Using work matters as an excuse, he came to her house and assailed her with that very gaze. She could not go against it at all and simply allowed herself to be led by the nose.
A simple look from him and she immediately felt much weaker and less authoritative than earlier.
“What is it?” she asked meekly, hoping that it would paint her as tame and docile.
“Sit back inside,” he ordered.
Song Yu shifted her position immediately, looking as obedient as she possibly could.
Qi Chengzhi refrained from letting a smile leak out. He sat inside and locked the door after closing it behind him.
Leaning close to Song Yu, his actions compelled her to move backward, up until her back was leaning against the car door. With nowhere else to retreat, Qi Chengzhi continued to inch closer, allowing his breath to brush over her lips and nose.
His handsome features were magnified, and although she had been together with him for quite some time already, she would still blush whenever she met his direct gaze.
“What are you doing?” Song Yu asked softly. The windows were tinted but Song Yu still worried that someone might see them in such a position.
“Did you say I was guilty just now?” He cocked a brow and teased her, while his scorching-warm hands instinctively went to caress her waist. “What did you say I was guilty for?”
“I was just saying it,” Song Yu mumbled.
Qi Chengzhi’s lips curled up. “What did you talk to Shu Li about?”
He was privy only to one side of the conversation, that of Shu Li’s. He had not the slightest idea of Song Yu’s part.
He did, however, hear Shu Li declare her status to Song Yu, so he wondered if Song Yu had asked something of that sort through the phone.
“Nothing much. I was a little shocked when she told me who she was, but when I asked her what was going on, she just explained everything to me.” Song Yu looked at Qi Chengzhi’s nearing face. “I have no interest in who she is and what she wants from you, so I simply told her to pass the phone over to you.”
“No interest, eh?” Qi Chengzhi narrowed his eyes and gripped her waist with more force. Has her nervousness toward him waned that much already?
“It’s not like you’ll want her anyway. If you really wanted a female celebrity, you wouldn’t wait until now to find one. Shu Li’s turn would never have come.” Song Yu’s lowered her gaze and marveled at his chest, placing her hands on them.
She could feel his breaths coming closer and closer. In the meantime, his soft, thin lips would briefly rub against her forehead every now and then.
Song Yu’s heartbeat quickened and became irregular. Her hands slid across his chest in opposite directions, going past his armpit and linking back together behind him.
“Are you really that assured when it comes to me?” Happiness was seeping through his low voice, and even his dark pupils were tainted with a hint of warmth. At the corner of his eyes, his elatedness was noticeable.
His eyes shifted downward and he looked at Song Yu, the docile woman that made his heart ache so terribly. Her long lashes were obscuring her eyes slightly, and her straight nose was positioned right beside his mouth. Below her nose lay her pink, cotton-candy-like lips, while her cheek seemed so moist and pink that a gentle squeeze would allow one to obtain water from them.
That meekness was the catalyst that induced his desire to be one with her right then.
His question engendered a blush on her entire face—a redness that seemed to increase exponentially—and made her look even more delectable.
She nodded at him, with her redness flowing slowly to her ears. “Mm,” she uttered. “I feel reassured when it comes to you. No matter which female comes to you, no matter how high her status is, and no matter how beautiful she may be, you won’t even bat an eye at them. You’ve already liked me, and you’ve been liking me for so long already.”
Song Yu felt her heart race and she became more nervous when she spoke. The only thing that her lungs were breathing in was his fresh scent, and the warm manly breath emitted by his breathing.
Reddened, she lifted her head slightly and kissed him on his lips. The heat from his lips transmitted onto hers and the numb heat still remained even when her lips had released itself from his.
“I never thought I’d be with a man whom I can place all of my trust in. It’s every woman’s dream to have this kind of companion.” Her distinctly monochrome eyes glimmered with a certain radiance, and she felt emotional upon laying eyes on the ever-closer Qi Chengzhi.
Rare indeed was a man like him. He had all the right qualities and such high prestige, yet he could commit to her wholeheartedly and go to great lengths just to do that.
Song Yu felt that there was only one person like him in the entire world.
No other man would have done what he did.
It was also because all his actions—even those from the very beginning of their interactions—were designed to give her that unwavering sense of security. He never spoke of her with any inferiority in front of other women, and with his chest held high, he made sure to preserve her pride at all times.
Her source of pride was wholly gifted by the man right in front of her.
As soon as she finished her sentence, she felt a little shudder and noticed an added intensity in Qi Chengzhi’s expression.
Those black eyes seemed to burn like a black flame, making Song Yu tremble under its heat.
“Ahh!” In a flash, he hoisted her up and laid her down on the back seat, pressing himself on her.
“Qi Chengzhi!” Song Yu was startled because they were inside the car in broad daylight. Though the outside world could not see what was going inside because of the tinted windows, sunlight could still penetrate through the windows and make the whole interior look bright.
Save for Song Yu’s words, nothing else filled his thoughts and his heart. Her trust in him, and her shyness when she intimated her trust, stirred him emotionally to no end.
Her blushing mien and shy demeanor only sparked his excitement even more, causing him to lose himself completely.
“We’re outside!” Song Yu chastised weakly. It was of no use, as Qi Chengzhi was not going to listen to her no matter what she said.
Song Yu let out a soft huff. Her uncontrollable blushing and half-closed dazed eyes sent Qi Chengzhi’s breathing into madness.
Qi Chengzhi was so aroused that his heartbeat turned erratic. Her lustful looks fueled his lack of self-control every single time. It was like he had been transported into the mindset of a young man fresh in love. He lowered his head and kissed her red cheeks—her satiny, almost poreless skin was something he absolutely adored. The heat from her cheeks brought a warmth that augmented the scent emanating from her body.
He glued his lips to hers and caressed them, saying, “How could I ever think of anyone else if you’re always so seductive?”
Blushing and trembling, she let out a sudden huff. “Knock it off.”
“I’m not doing anything,” Qi Chengzhi answered firmly and resolutely, though he was unable to suppress his raging passion. “I’ll never get enough of you. Even if you wring my energy dry, there will always be that tiny little itch in my heart. When it comes to you, I’m what you call ‘a person whose eyes are bigger than his stomach’.”
His muscular arm wrapped Song Yu tightly, almost to the point of lifting her up from her seat. She was trapped in his embrace, bombarded by a fervent kiss on the lips.
Thinking straight was something she had always failed to do when she was in his arms. Her doll-like yearning look and helplessly lovable appearance stroked the flame within Qi Chengzhi, arousing him greatly.
Song Yu too was aroused by his masculine aura, and a quickening heartbeat was inevitable.
In a moment of impetuousness, she nearly requested to be taken back to Viewpark Residence. The only thing on her mind was to tear her man’s clothes apart and devour him with all her might.
“We can’t go out with me like this.” Qi Chengzhi’s voice was breaking. He could not resist the temptation of her lips even when he was speaking.
“…” Song Yu was speechless. Who should be to blame for that?
She remained quiet, and Qi Chengzhi stretched over to his neck to grab her hand.
“Mrs. Qi. It all depends on you.” Qi Chengzhi’s thin lips were placed on her warm cheek. He looked as though he would not move a single muscle if she did not deal with him, and yet he said those words with a reverence that appeared much more serious than it actually was.
He had already pressed Song Yu’s hand on his shaft. Refusing him was not a thought that appeared in her mind, especially since he called her ‘Mrs. Qi’.
The sight of a suffering Qi Chengzhi was not something she could bear to see.
Her small hand trembled while she grasped him. Song Yu’s face reddened even more when she heard his loud and satisfied breathing.
Gritting her teeth, she commenced her motions shyly and slightly resentfully, giving him his release.
…
…
Qi Chengzhi lay down on her with all his weight, and all he wanted to do was hug Song Yu for a round of shut-eye.
Her small hands, however, began pushing his chest. She was red-faced and exclaiming, “Come on, get up. I can’t breathe.”
Unconcerned, Qi Chengzhi was in post-release bliss. A satisfied look graced his face as he reached for her other hand that was lying to one side.
He adored her tremendously, especially since she could help relieve him despite having a more profound sense of shame.
From the storage box, he took out some tissues and wiped Song Yu’s hands clean. Then, he took her hands and began kissing them front to back.
His strong scent still remained on her hands, making her feel uncomfortable to see him kissing them all over.
“Do you have any strength to step down from the car?” Qi Chengzhi carried her up and placed her on his lap, running his slender fingers through her soft hair. Be it in actions or words, his gentleness was truly unparalleled.
“Other than a sore wrist, I’m mostly okay,” she chided, still red-faced.
Knowledge of her sore wrist made Qi Chengzhi cup her hand and massage the wrist area, feeling the silkiness of her skin using his thumb.
Qi Chengzhi began to tidy his clothes only after he made sure that Song Yu’s wrist felt better.
It was then Song Yu’s turn to make sure her clothes were alright, and once she was done, he opened the car door.
There was still some hesitation to leave the car on Song Yu’s part—she was still worried about how she looked. Afraid that someone might see her in such a state, she did her hair again and tidied her clothes. When she looked outside, Qi Chengzhi was still standing at the door, waiting for her.
He stretched out his hand in her direction and implored, “Come.”
Rascal though he was when inside the car, he was standing outside with his elegant half-smiling look that masked all traces of his earlier shameless actions.
Song Yu’s blush had yet to dissipate. She placed her hand on top of this, but she hardly expected him to pull her out of the car just as she was about to get down.
The suddenness made her lose her footing, causing her to crash into his embrace. He then wrapped himself around her.
At the very next second, she was pushed onto the car door.
Song Yu could not utter even a word of protest, as his lips came assailing her own. It was a brief kiss, one that went as quickly as it came.
It would be the subject of endless teasing if someone saw them; after all, they were in public, and at his grandparents’ home of all places.
Song Yu’s face was suffused with scarlet and she pinched him surreptitiously.
His actions were so quick that perhaps those who saw it might only see a blur; there did not seem to be any human voices either and there were probably not many people on the road. Those thoughts calmed Song Yu down.
Qi Chengzhi chuckled. He helped tidy her hair that was messed up from moments ago. A warm smile crept across his lips, and the warmth in his eyes was like a cup of warm water. It was incredibly pleasant, like being in the middle of a blowing spring wind.
He found her irresistible, kissing her after he finished doing her hair. Her forehead and nose were all planted with kisses. It seemed as though he would feel uneasy if he was deprived from kissing her. Song Yu could only blush in silence.
“Ahem!” An awkward dry cough was heard.
Song Yu was frightened and she could feel her blood run cold. A swift turn of the head and she saw Grandmother Qi staring at them, grinning from ear to ear. Beside the old lady stood a woman, whose face was equally red and embarrassed. The woman looked at Qi Chengzhi in disbelief, hardly believing her eyes that the reserved and elegant Qi Chengzhi would have his moment of intimacy.
He was no different than an ordinary man who kissed his girlfriend in public without paying attention to the time and place.
Shu Li felt envious but at the same time, she felt a twinge of despair. She knew that she could never ever pry Qi Chengzhi away from his fiancée no matter how hard she tried.
There was also the fact that Qi Chengzhi had been always maintaining a frosty disposition in front of her. She had given her phone number voluntarily—an act which was already hinting at something more—but he did not give a damn. Without even a single look, he dismissed her simply by telling her that his fiancée forbade him from receiving other women’s numbers.
For all she knew, he might not even look at her even if she climbed onto his bed.
Unfortunately for Shu Li, a man with his qualities remained out of reach.
She stood beside the old lady, having accompanied the latter home.
Song Yu was so shy that she was speechless. Her face was red hot and she felt unable to face the old lady anymore.
On the other hand, Qi Chengzhi remained calm and indifferent, without a single hint of embarrassment showing.
“Hehe, oh Xiao Shu, such a coincidence. You see, my grandson has a wonderful relationship with his fiancée. He’s so clingy with her, just look at his hand. He’ll never get his hands off my future granddaughter-in-law as long as she’s beside him.” The old lady smiled happily, disregarding completely the abundance of wrinkles on her face.
Song Yu then realized that Qi Chengzhi’s hand was holding her waist the whole time.
Shu Li could only muster a stiff smile due to the embarrassment she felt. In fact, it was becoming increasingly hard for her to even smile.
The old lady had finished shooting her scenes for that day and it just so happened that the next two scenes did not involve Shu Li. The latter’s brazenness led her to insist on accompanying the old lady home.
Earlier on she heard that Qi Chengzhi was sending Qi Youxuan home, so she knew for certain that he would be around. Being able to visit the place and recognize its whereabouts was an opportunity she was hellbent on seizing. Chances like that were not only hard to come by, the Qi family residence was also a mystery to many people.
She hoped that it could be her stepping stone to get closer to Qi Chengzhi.
Her undying persistence forced the old lady into capitulating, and in the end, Shu Li was allowed to tag along.
When they arrived at the entrance, she did not expect to see Qi Chengzhi bringing Song Yu back.
She was just about to call him when he pressed Song Yu onto the car for a kiss. It was not a very passionate one, but his then-expression was enough to make one blush.
He had a sentimental look, one that Shu Li had never seen before.
Song Yu’s face seemed familiar, but Shu Li could not put a finger on when or where she had seen Song Yu before.
“Grandma,” Song Yu greeted shyly, lowering her head without looking the old lady in the eye.
Qi Chengzhi stood there expressionlessly—all traces of his warmth had vanished into thin air.
“Hehe, you’re back!” The old lady remained glued to the spot because she knew Song Yu was feeling awkward. “This is the lead actress from our cast. She’s playing the role of my daughter in the movie. She insisted on sending me back even though it’s just a ten-minute walk and there was really no need for her to do so. Hehe, she’s too polite.”
