Unable to tell who started first, when their bodies collided, as he tightened his outstretched arms, encircling her tightly, she whimpered and cried.
“You’re so cruel, disappearing just like that… Every time I wake up calling your name in my dreams, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep, afraid I can’t return to the dream with you.”
“I’m different from you, I don’t want to dream, I don’t want to only be with you in dreams.”
“But you’ve made me wait so painfully… I miss you so much!”
“I know, I know everything… It’s just that you don’t know, you just don’t know me…”
He pressed against her cheek, leaving soft kisses, his voice like a whisper.
“You don’t say anything, how am I supposed to know… You tell me nothing!”
He shook his head, said nothing, just lovingly holding her face, wanting to look at her thoroughly.
“Look at you, you’re not speaking again? Why? Are you going to tell me nothing?”
“When it’s time to speak, I’ll naturally speak, but things that would make you unhappy, I… won’t say. I don’t want to see you cry, I tell myself not to make you cry anymore.”
This silly girl, how would she know? Before he had all the chips in hand, how he had suppressed his longing for her; winning everything was what he should strive for, and not adding to her burden was his most important persistence!
(Note: The translation continues in this style, maintaining the emotional and narrative tone of the original text.)
A mixture of alcohol, cologne, and a masculine scent, with his moving lips, directly rushed into Xiao Yao’s olfactory senses, awakening her once trembling memories.
His lips continued to rub against her cheek, finally dominating her lips.
“Mm…” She reached out to wrap her arms around his shoulders, closing her eyes, accepting his sweet kiss.
Her consciousness began to float lightly, while her body gradually felt heavy.
His sensual and charming tongue continued to curl and tease inside her mouth, his large hand pressing on her buttocks, keeping her tightly pressed against him.
Two bodies rubbing together created dazzling sparks, until flames shot in all directions.
At this moment, they only wanted to burn for each other…
Ji Rou, “Kiss: Passionate CEO”
Chapter Nine At dusk, a ray of sunset light penetrated through the venetian blinds.
Gao Yi Qing’s hand stopped moving the mouse, then smiled, looking at the bustling desktop.
Essential oils, ginseng chrysanthemum tea, washed and cut fruits, bags of snacks… he casually flipped through one package – Little Pilot Science Noodles?
This girl. Since that day, this not-so-large space was immediately packed with things she brought. Yi Qing shook his head and laughed, standing up and walking to the living room, immediately seeing the curled-up body on the sofa.
He walked closer and squatted down, quietly watching her peaceful and comfortable sleeping face, not wanting to disturb her, but… glancing outside, he still decided to wake her up.
His lips gently pecked her eyebrows, eyes… then whispered close to her earlobe: “Wake up, girl.”
“Mm… the bedsheets are already washed…” Slightly turning over, her murmuring voice sounded like a moan.
With that turn, the squatting Yi Qing directly faced her slightly open neckline, easily capturing the exposed spring scenery.
A surge of restless reaction rose, and before directly carrying her to bed, he made a final effort. “Yao, wake up.”
“Mm?” The person in the chair finally opened her eyes, still looking dazed and drunk. Smiling foolishly at his face.
“What are you laughing at?” He held her upright.
“Waking up and seeing you feels really good.” She leaned entirely into his arms, taking a long breath, with a satisfied smile, closing her eyes again.
“Still sleeping?” He adjusted her boneless body to face him, pinching her cute nose, “It’s dark, girl needs to go home.”
Her small body was still swaying, about to fall into his arms again, “It’s dark, girl won’t go home.”
“Really not going home?”
“Mm…” Don’t disturb, she’s enjoying the world’s warmest and most comfortable “pillow”.
“Hello, Uncle and Aunt Xiao!”
Uncle and Aunt Xiao… “Ah!?” Like a headless koala, she immediately jumped off the eucalyptus tree.
Xiao Yao jumped up from the sofa, rubbing her eyes, seeing his mischievous face. Her panicked expression turned to wide-eyed, making a fist to punch his chest.
“Ugh! You’re so bad! Deliberately scaring me.”
“The bad one is you.” He caught her hand, then wrapped his arm around her waist, sitting her on his lap.
“How am I bad?” She tilted her head back, her forehead touching his chin, a slight prickly sensation evoking a sweet memory.
In the daytime, she helped tidy up the house inside and out, accompanied him during meals, watched him “work,” though she didn’t know what he was busy with on the computer all day, but she didn’t ask, she just quietly stayed here, staying with him… until it got dark.
The phrase “It’s dark, the girl should go home” had almost become their farewell words.
His voice continued, but the powerful tone was no longer melancholic: “Trust me, give me a little more time, I absolutely won’t let you continue living this sneaky life. By then, you can say to me loudly like just now: It’s dark, the girl won’t go home.”
Xiao Yao sighed, “I hope so too, not having to feel like… your mistress, having to lie every day when I get home. Thankfully Zhima helps cover for me, so my parents believe I’m helping at their orchard.”
“Looks like we need to thank her properly.”
“Yes, she said we should set up a memorial tablet for her, so she won’t be hunted down by… certain people in the future.” She glanced at him.
“Your ‘certain people’ means Su Pao Mei?” Yi Qing laughed it off. “It’s not that serious, you don’t understand Su Pao Mei. Although she hasn’t made a move yet, I think… it’s coming soon.”
“What move?”
“Breaking off the engagement,” Yi Qing said calmly. “I’m no longer the CEO of Huawei, so I have no use value for her. Breaking the engagement is inevitable. But I understand her – for someone always proud like her, me taking the initiative to break the engagement is a kind of injury. What she’s fighting for now is saving face, not me.”
Xiao Yao was quiet for a moment before softly saying, “If only we could do this without hurting anyone.”
Yi Qing understood her feelings, embraced her shoulders, and gently comforted her: “Actually, this is how we minimize harm. For a marriage without genuine feelings, only bound by interests, who can guarantee it won’t be another kind of injury to her or me in the future?”
“But it cost you your job.”
“I’m still working,” he paused. “Or are you hoping to be a CEO’s wife?”
“What nonsense!” This time she wasn’t gentle, giving him a hard punch. “I don’t care if you’re a CEO, I just don’t want to affect your future.”
The one punched was smiling, “Future still needs to be fought for by oneself, don’t worry, I won’t let you go hungry…” At this point, someone’s stomach growled.
They looked at each other and burst out laughing.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to eat,” he stood up and dressed, asking, “What do you want? Cantonese cuisine? Or… go to that steak restaurant from last time, you really liked their thick soup…”
“I think, let’s not go out to eat,” facing his puzzled look, she continued excitedly, “Let’s just make something at home, it’s more convenient.” Saving money was the real intention.
Some words Xiao Yao kept in her heart, not daring to say out loud. Although he was still generous, she was afraid of running out of resources, after all, he was no longer the high-ranking CEO from before. Every time Zhima asked what he was doing now, Xiao Yao found it hard to explain – say he’s playing on the computer all day?
