A beautiful summer night

During the National Day holiday, after finishing the orders that had accumulated at the end of last month, Xia Wanzhi focused on painting Xie Qiyan's mother.

Wanting to finish this matter as soon as possible, Xia Wanzhi specially posted on Weibo to say that she would be suspending taking orders this month.

This is actually a challenge for Xia Wanzhi as well.

But she has never been afraid of challenges.

She didn't want Xie Qiyan to wait too long on this matter. Whether Xie Qiyan was her boyfriend or just a single man, she wouldn't let him wait too long.

"Sis, aren't you going to the studio today?" Bamboo had been off for three days in a row and called to express her unreal feelings.

Xia Wanzhi sat cross-legged on the floor squeezing paint. Upon hearing this, she glanced at the bamboo on the screen and said, "I'm not going. I'm not going this month."

Bamboo's eyes widened, a premonition of impending unemployment forming in her mind: "Now that you have another dog, you don't want me anymore?!"

Xie Qiyan, who had been called another dog, floated like a ghost behind Xia Wanzhi and glanced at the bamboo on his phone.

Bamboo trembled: "..."

Xia Wanzhi chuckled, took the paintbrush Xie Qiyan had washed, and explained to Zhu Zi, "It's not that I don't want you. The construction site at Xingyao is too noisy, and the top floor will also be renovated in the middle of the month, so it's not suitable for work. Besides, aren't I currently working on a project for President Xie?"

Xia Wanzhi coaxed her, "If you want to go on a trip, you can make arrangements. You'll have a month of paid leave. Go ahead and have fun."

Bamboo, on its deathbed, sat up in shock: "Really?"

Xia Wanzhi smiled gently: "Really."

"Ahhh, I love you so much, sister! You're the best boss in the world!" Zhu Zi's eyes flashed with intense light as she glanced at Xie Qiyan, who was clinging to her boss, and carefully instructed him, "Mr. Xie, please take care of Sister Xia while I'm away."

"No need to ask, your sister Xia is my girlfriend, I will definitely take good care of her." Xie Qiyan hung up the phone for Xia Wanzhi after saying that.

The phrase "take good care of" carries a hint of gritted teeth.

Xia Wanzhi had a bad feeling and was about to run away when Xie Qiyan picked her up and held her in his arms.

After struggling for a while to no avail, Xia Wanzhi blinked her big, bright eyes and pleaded, "I was wrong."

To show her sincere remorse, she forced a pitiful expression and slowly added an interjection: "Eek."

Xie Qiyan: "..."

"The floor is cold." Xie Qiyan carried her to the sofa, his eyes sharp and his tone full of warning, "If you don't wear shoes next time, I'll tie you up and beat you."

Xia Wanzhi shrank her head like a quail, nodding and humming.

Xie Qiyan sighed in annoyance.

He knows he's wrong, but he's stubborn and won't change his ways.

The night before last, I secretly went to drink with Yunli. After he found out, I repeatedly promised that I would not drink a drop of alcohol. However, when I came back, he caught me red-handed. While explaining that I hadn't drunk any alcohol, I let out a burp and was quite drunk.

Xie Qiyan did not intend to restrict her freedom in any way.

It's because her period hasn't ended yet.

He only managed her bad habits.

The consequence of indulging after drinking was that I spent almost the entire morning in bed yesterday.

But instead of learning her lesson, this girl accepted Jiang Baichuan's twin sister's invitation again last night after she recovered. I don't know what she ate wrong at their place, but this morning she was crying and complaining of a stomachache.

Xie Qiyan's desire to assert his authority as a husband grew stronger.

Despite her anger, Xie Qiyan felt more heartache than anger. He made her some brown sugar ginger tea and waited for her to calm down before going to the company.

He told her to get some sleep before he left, and that he would be back in two hours.

But as soon as I came back, I opened the door and saw her sitting barefoot on the floor, video chatting with Zhu Zi while fiddling with paint.

They didn't know how to rest properly and completely forgot their lesson.

"Does it still hurt?" He was clearly going to scold her, but at this moment it sounded like he was comforting her.

Xia Wanzhi blinked and buried her face in Xie Qiyan's chest: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"Did you eat the breakfast I prepared for you?" Xie Qiyan couldn't resist her coquettishness at all.

Xia Wanzhi nodded, being incredibly obedient at this moment: "I ate, and I drank the milk too."

Xie Qiyan didn't speak, so Xia Wanzhi raised her head and tentatively asked, "Are you angry?"

Xie Qiyan remained silent.

Xia Wanzhi reached out and poked his chest, then wrapped two knuckles around his tie and gently pressed it against his prominent Adam's apple.

Xie Qiyan's breath hitched, and he grabbed her mischievous hand: "Are you angry?"

"I drank with Yunli because Yunli and Liang Jing had a fight. I wanted to take a knife to Liang Jing, but you stopped me. So I could only vent my emotions with Yunli."

Xia Wanzhi explained earnestly: "I promised you I wouldn't drink a drop of alcohol, but I didn't keep my promise. I even tried to cover it up from you when I came back. It was wrong of me, but it's all because you were too fierce, and I was scared."

"You're afraid? When have you ever been afraid of me?" Xie Qiyan was amused and pinched her cheeks, making her pout. He couldn't resist the temptation and kissed her. "You're so rebellious, Xia Wanzhi, you're really my ancestor."

He couldn't describe his feelings at all.

She does the exact things he forbids her to do. He's clearly angry, but the moment he sees her innocent eyes and she coaxes him a few times, all his anger melts away.

Why are you still angry? You're too busy feeling sorry for me.

Xia Wanzhi tugged at his tie and offered her lips to him again, giving him two intimate kisses, and continued, "Jiang Yourong came to me because of Jiang Baichuan's matter. I promise I didn't drink alcohol, I just couldn't resist eating an ice cream cake."

I'm not good at cooking, but I love to eat.

They know they're wrong, but they keep repeating the same mistakes.

Xia Wanzhi had been reprimanded by Ms. Ross many times before.

People tend to develop a bit of princess syndrome when they are pampered endlessly.

Xia Wanzhi also felt that she had been a bit spoiled lately.

Xie Qiyan was immediately appeased. He gently rubbed Xia Wanzhi's lower abdomen with his broad palms, as if he were addicted, and they exchanged body heat through the thin fabric.

Xia Wanzhi could clearly feel his breathing becoming heavier and heavier, like when they were kissing and he almost couldn't stop.

"You, you, you're not allowed to think like that." Xia Wanzhi took his hand away, her cheeks flushed.

Xie Qiyan chuckled, annoyed. He cradled her neck with his free hand, leaned down, and hissed his lips against her neck: "Teacher Xia, tell me, what am I thinking?"

"Disgusting." Xia Wanzhi choked out a curse. "I'm on my period, you're not pure."

The progress between her and Xie Qiyan was so fast it felt almost unreal.

Passionate kisses every day have almost become a daily occurrence.

"So you mean it's okay when it's not during your period?" A light kiss landed on Xia Wanzhi's lips, and Xie Qiyan gently massaged her lower abdomen with his palm, his voice slightly deep: "If I were a beast, I would have done something filthy to you long ago."

Xia Wanzhi's cheeks felt warm.

This is true.

This person is surprisingly patient.

"I'll work from home this afternoon and stay here with you." Xie Qiyan spent the two hours at the company dealing with important matters first, and changed most of the remaining meetings to video conferences so that he could take care of Xia Wanzhi at home.

But at 2 p.m., Xia Wanzhi was called out again by Yun Li's phone call.

It seems to be an urgent matter.

Xie Qiyan paused his work when he saw Xia Wanzhi hurriedly changing her clothes. After explaining things to Yu Fei, he went back to the apartment across the hall to get his car keys.

As the two spent more time together, a tacit understanding developed. After changing her shoes and going out, before he could even ask, Xia Wanzhi took the initiative to explain, "Yunli's mother is missing."

"Yunli and Liang Jing argued because Liang Jing saw Jiang Baichuan at the flower shop. He sensed Jiang Baichuan's hostility but didn't dare to assert his dominance. This guy is a hypocrite. His previous politeness was all an act. When he got back, he took his anger out on Yunli. That's why I promised you I wouldn't drink that day but I still drank."

How could Xia Wanzhi not be angry that her best friend had encountered such a man and such a situation?

"Liang Jing must have exaggerated the story behind the scenes and leaked it to Yunli's mother. That's why she's pretending to be missing." Xia Wanzhi said with a sarcastic smile, feeling extremely distressed.

She felt pathetic.

I feel sorry for Yunli.
