A beautiful summer night

The bar lights softly illuminated Xie Qiyan's handsome profile as he lowered his gaze, staring at the swirling glass of red wine in his hand.

Xia Wanzhi was looking at him.

He knew Xia Wanzhi was watching him.

This is a quiet bar, unlike other noisy bars. The atmosphere gradually becomes ambiguous under the influence of a gentle love song and soft lighting.

Even though they're already boyfriend and girlfriend, I still feel a sense of ambiguity.

Because of Jiang Baichuan's unspoken marriage proposal.

Yun Li raised an eyebrow slightly and whispered to Xia Wanzhi, "Your CEO Xie isn't..."

"Mm." Xia Wanzhi turned her gaze away from Xie Qiyan's face and smiled slightly at Yun Li.

Judging from Xie Qiyan's reaction just now, he must have something to hide.

She could guess what Xie Qiyan was planning to do.

After confirming their relationship at the end of September, they quickly fell in love. Xia Wanzhi knew very well how inseparable she and Xie Qiyan had been over the past few months.

They were affectionate and loving every day, and even slept together at night. It was inevitable that things would get out of hand, but Xie Qiyan always managed to stop halfway through.

Because he didn't have a proper title or status, he was quite tolerant.

He must have been a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle in his past life, but the Meng Po soup didn't completely wash away his deep-rooted self-control when he was reincarnated.

A title, huh...

Xia Wanzhi pursed her lips to the rim of the cup, her raven-feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly, her heartbeat gradually quickened, and she wore a thoughtful expression.

She can do anything that Xie Qiyan can do.

Thinking this, she looked up at him and her gaze became intense.

Yunli touched her nose and also looked at Xie Qiyan thoughtfully for a while. Before she could figure out anything, Jiang Baichuan reached out and blocked her.

"Looking at other men in front of your boyfriend?" Jiang Baichuan's displeasure was written all over his face.

His voice, husky and grainy from drinking, was deep and captivating. Yun Li didn't know how drunk he was, but most of the drinks on the table were from him and Xie Qiyan.

"Hmm, I don't think he's drunk." Yunli took his outstretched hand and sat down next to him. Knowing he was drunk, she carefully straightened his body, which was leaning to one side.

Jiang Baichuan took a breath: "I'm not drunk either."

"Go back?" Yunli asked Xia Wanzhi.

Xia Wanzhi came to her senses and swayed slightly as she stood up, clearly feeling a bit dizzy from drinking.

Xie Qiyan walked over and put his arm around her shoulder, his warm palm stroking her slightly flushed cheeks: "Wait a little longer, I called a designated driver, but they haven't arrived yet."

One or two of them had been drinking and couldn't drive, so they had to call a designated driver.

Xia Wanzhi nodded: "Okay, then you two are..."

Jiang Baichuan chimed in, "Let's get a room."

Yunli: "..."

No, bro, don't ruin my reputation!

Xia Wanzhi: "???"

So exciting?

Meeting Xia Wanzhi's shocked yet sly gaze, Yun Li explained, "Uh, well, the Interstellar Bay Hotel..."

"No, no, no, you don't need to tell me which hotel it is!" Xia Wanzhi smiled mischievously, "What if I can't resist causing a ruckus in the bridal chamber..."

"Xia Wanzhi!" Yun Li scolded, trying to explain but unable to do so.

You can't say that the penthouse suite in Star Bay is half her home.

Xie Qiyan gave Jiang Baichuan a disdainful look: "You're just letting your girlfriend stay in a hotel?"

The implication is that we should learn from him.

Two apartments facing each other, I'll let my girlfriend stay whichever she likes.

Jiang Baichuan scoffed, "What do you know? The entire Interstellar Bay Hotel belongs to my girlfriend."

Yunli: "..."

Xia Wanzhi: "..."

Is this childish or not between two grown men?

They exchanged a glance, and Xia Wanzhi and Yun Li each took their boyfriends and went outside to get some fresh air.

The cold air actually made people feel much more refreshed.

Xia Wanzhi held Xie Qiyan's hand, still with that thoughtful expression.

No one knew what she was thinking about that made her so engrossed.

After returning home and washing up, Xie Qiyan lay in bed. His body temperature was alarmingly high. In the past, if Xia Wanzhi heard his irregular heartbeat, she would have been unable to resist making some provocative moves, but tonight she remained calm.

Xie Qiyan pulled her into his arms, his breathing slightly heavy: "What are you thinking about?"

Xia Wanzhi snapped out of her daze, blinked, and swallowed nervously, "It's nothing, I just drank too much and my mind isn't working too well."

After saying that, he closed his eyes, afraid that Xie Qiyan would notice something amiss.

Xie Qiyan didn't know what she was thinking, but judging from her reaction, it wasn't anything bad, so he didn't ask any further questions.

With his chin resting on her head, Xie Qiyan took a deep breath, kissed her hair, and fell asleep contentedly.

While things were calm on Xia Wanzhi's side, a huge storm was brewing on Yun Li and Jiang Baichuan's side.

The hotel room lights were off, with only the neon lights from outside the floor-to-ceiling windows reflecting in. Half-drunk, Jiang Baichuan held Yun Li up with one hand, pressing her against the wall and harassing her relentlessly.

The sticky, moist feeling on her lips added to the irresistible allure, making Yunli's scalp tingle and her body feel limp and powerless.

Just a kiss was enough for her to succumb to Jiang Baichuan's advances.

Jiang Baichuan was different after drinking alcohol.

He wanted to give himself entirely to Yunli.

Yunli sensed it.

But when those moist lips touched the skin of her neck, Yunli's breath hitched, and she blurted out in shock, "Jiang Baichuan!"

Jiang Baichuan snapped out of his daze, realizing he had acted impulsively. He kissed Yun Li's lips apologetically, his voice low and hoarse: "Yes, I heard you."

The hand pressing on her wrist loosened its grip, and Yunli broke free, covering his mouth to prevent him from taking advantage of her.

Jiang Baichuan kissed Yun Li's hand that was pressing against his lips, and laughed out loud while panting, "You don't dare?"

Yunli had a hard time finding the light switch to turn on the room. The light was blinding. She met Jiang Baichuan's lustful gaze, lowered her eyelashes to avoid his eyes, and said, "I wouldn't dare."

She'll still admit defeat.

Jiang Baichuan grabbed her hand and kissed it: "Don't be nervous, I'm a little drunk. You know I've been longing for you for a long time, and I couldn't help it."

His relaxed tone was clearly meant to help Yunli ease her anxiety.

Aside from not being nervous when kissing, Yunli would tremble or feel uncomfortable whenever his hand or lips touched other parts of her body.

Jiang Baichuan attributed this to excessive tension.

But Yunli knew in her heart that she was afraid.

Forcing a smile, Yunli pushed him away and went straight to the bathroom: "You reek of alcohol, I'm going to take a shower first."

Jiang Baichuan had almost sobered up while waiting for his designated driver outside the bar. While Yun Li was taking a shower, he had someone bring him some hangover tea.

The bathroom was filled with steam, and Yunli stood under the showerhead, momentarily lost in thought.

The strong reaction to the rejection just now must have been noticed by Jiang Baichuan.

Yunli's face turned slightly pale. She closed her eyes and forced herself to forget some distant memories.

When he came out, Jiang Baichuan was taking a nap on the sofa. There were two cups of hangover tea on the table, one of which was half-drunk.

Hearing the noise, Jiang Baichuan opened his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose: "Come on, drink some hangover tea, otherwise you'll have a headache tomorrow morning."

Yunli sat down, wanting to say that she didn't need hangover tea because she didn't have his food, but to protect her boyfriend's pride, she had no choice but to pick up the cup and sip it slowly.

The water was sweet, and Yunli drank it while watching him.

For a moment, her mind went blank, and recalling what had just happened, Yunli swallowed hard and explained, "I didn't mean to..."

"I'm sorry for doing something that made you uncomfortable without your consent," Jiang Baichuan interrupted her, saying earnestly, "If I do this again, you can slap me twice."

Yunli: "..."

Scratching her cheek, Yunli felt inexplicably hot: "It's not that bad, it's just that I wasn't prepared."

“But I’m prepared,” Jiang Baichuan said seriously.

Yunli asked, puzzled, "What?"

Jiang Baichuan said bluntly, "I'm ready. You can do whatever you want to me, it doesn't matter, I don't mind."

Yunli: "..."

She grabbed a pillow and threw it on his head, her face flushed as she scolded, "Jiang Baichuan, you're so cunning!"
