She got up, went downstairs, and quietly approached the kitchen. There, You Ran, tall and slender, was wearing an apron, his handsome profile outlined by the soft light, which tugged at Shen Qian’s anxious heart. Especially those focused eyes under his bangs that moved Shen Qian deeply. She knew she was hungry… it had been almost a month since she last touched her husband, and this was a rare good opportunity. She slowly walked up behind You Ran, hugged his waist from behind, and with a pitiful voice, she murmured, “Honey.”
“Hmm?” You Ran responded, then laughed, “Are you starving? It’ll be ready soon.” Shen Qian couldn’t smell any food, only the intoxicating scent of You Ran. Tightening her arms around him, she said, “I want to eat.”
“It’ll be quick.”
“I want to eat.” Shen Qian’s hand slipped into his pants, You Ran paused, then calmly turned off the stove, turning around with a raised eyebrow, “Right here?”
“Uh, if possible, I’d like to go upstairs.” Shen Qian glanced at the kitchen window, which was large and faced the parking lot, with too many passersby; she didn’t want to put on a show. You Ran took two steps forward, backing her against the counter, glanced at its height, and with a smile that seemed light but was full of meaning, said, “Food tastes best when it’s freshly cooked.” Without another word, he lifted Shen Qian onto the counter, and then… they had sex.
