After the divorce, the aloof CEO begged me not to withdraw my investment.

"Stop drinking."

Ye Feng pressed down on her hand, which was reaching for the bottle again, and said with concern, "You've had too much to drink."

"I'm not drunk..." Qi Xue mumbled, trying to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly.

"Listen to me, go back and rest early." Ye Feng's tone left no room for argument.

Qi Xue struggled for a few moments, but ultimately gave up, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

"Ok."

Ye Feng paid the bill and helped the slightly unsteady Qi Xue out of the barbecue restaurant.

A cool night breeze blew by, and Qi Xue shivered, her body becoming even more unsteady, almost leaning her entire body against Ye Feng.

Helpless, Ye Feng could only put his arm around her waist to steady her.

"Be careful."

When they arrived at Qi Xue's apartment building, Ye Feng helped her into the elevator.

The small space was filled with a faint smell of alcohol, mixed with Qi Xue's unique perfume, which made Ye Feng feel a little distracted.

"I can do it myself..." Qi Xue struggled to stand up straight, but stumbled and almost fell.

Ye Feng reacted quickly and grabbed her in a hug.

Her soft body pressed against his chest, and a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, making him catch his breath.

Qi Xue's hair fell across his face, tickling him, yet making him afraid to move.

To make matters worse, while helping Qi Xue up, Ye Feng accidentally touched her sensitive area.

The soft touch, like an electric current, spread throughout Ye Feng's body, almost causing him to lose his mind.

Qi Xue looked at him with hazy, drunken eyes, her lips slightly parted, as if inviting him to come closer.

Ye Feng's heart raced, his breathing became rapid, and his body's instincts overcame his reason.

He slowly lowered his head, approaching her face, feeling her breath and her warmth.

Just as his lips were about to touch hers, his phone rang suddenly.

The shrill sound shattered the ambiguous atmosphere.

Ye Feng suddenly woke up as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

He hurriedly stepped back, took out his phone, and saw that the caller ID showed Liu Qingyi.

He took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Hey?"

"Where are you?" Liu Qingyi's voice was cold, with a hint of accusation.

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not tell the truth.

"I'm outside, something's come up."

He turned to look at Qi Xue, who was leaning against the wall pretending to be asleep, with a serene smile on her face.

Ye Feng struggled with the decision for a long time, but in the end he gently helped her to a straight position and then turned to leave.

He knew that some boundaries, once crossed, could never be crossed back.

The next day, after get off work.

Ye Feng attended the birthday banquet that Liu Qingyi had arranged for him as promised.

At the banquet, glasses clinked and laughter filled the air.

It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that the guests gradually dispersed, and the noisy banquet hall gradually returned to calm, leaving only Ye Feng and Liu Qingyi.

"Ye Feng..."

Liu Qingyi's voice carried a hint of nervousness, "Let's not go back tonight...."

Ye Feng was taken aback, his gaze falling on Liu Qingyi's face.

Her makeup was exceptionally exquisite today, and a burgundy dress accentuated her elegant demeanor.

“The rooms upstairs have already been booked,” Liu Qingyi added.

Ye Feng didn't speak, he just looked at her quietly.

Liu Qingyi was also looking at him.

A silence began to spread between the two.

Finally, Ye Feng broke the silence.

"Qingyi..." he began, his voice slightly hoarse, "We..."

"Stop talking." Liu Qingyi suddenly interrupted him, took a step forward, and gently stroked his cheek. "Tonight, don't say anything."

Her fingertips were slightly cool, yet they stirred something in Ye Feng's heart.

The marriage broke down, but now it seems like a few sparks are about to be rekindled.

Without further hesitation, Ye Feng picked up Liu Qingyi and carried her towards the elevator.

……

Inside the luxury suite.

An atmosphere of ambiguity permeated the air.

Ye Feng instinctively placed Liu Qingyi on the soft bed.

The emotions that had been suppressed for so long finally erupted at this moment.

After the passion subsided, the two embraced.

As the night deepened, the passion did not completely subside.

Instead, after a brief respite, the fire reignited.

This time, under Ye Feng's guidance, Liu Qingyi tried to take the initiative.

After the passion subsided, Ye Feng held Liu Qingyi in his arms and they fell asleep in each other's embrace.

The next day, Liu Qingyi slowly woke up.

She instinctively reached out to touch the warmth beside her, but only felt a cold sheet.

Where is Ye Feng?

A sense of unease welled up inside her, and she sat up abruptly.

"Qingyi, are you awake?"

Ye Feng's voice came through, tinged with amusement.

Liu Qingyi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ye Feng waving at her.

The table was laden with a sumptuous breakfast, its aroma filling the air.

"I just had breakfast delivered, it's all your favorites."

Liu Qingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't get out of bed, but gently bit her lip and said with a hint of coquetry, "I don't want to move, you feed me."

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes: "What, not tired enough from last night?"

Liu Qingyi's cheeks flushed instantly, and she glared at Ye Feng reproachfully: "You're so annoying! I... I'm not feeling well."

"Oh? Where does it hurt? Let me see."

Ye Feng made a move to walk over, and Liu Qingyi immediately tensed up, pulling the blanket over her head and wrapping herself up tightly.

"No...don't come any closer! I really feel uncomfortable!"

Seeing her shy and bashful appearance, Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh.

He walked to the bedside, picked up a bowl of porridge, blew on it gently, and then brought it to Liu Qingyi's lips.

"Open your mouth."

Liu Qingyi cautiously peeked out from under the covers and ate the breakfast that Ye Feng fed her, bite by bite.

"Is it good?" Ye Feng asked.

Liu Qingyi nodded, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

Next, Ye Feng fed her some snacks, and finally a cup of milk pudding.

"Ah..." Liu Qingyi opened her mouth, about to eat the last bite of pudding, but Ye Feng's hand trembled, and the pudding slipped and fell onto her chest.

"Oh dear!" Liu Qingyi exclaimed in surprise, instinctively looking down.

"It's okay, I'll remove it for you," Ye Feng said, bending down.

Liu Qing tried to dodge, but he held her firmly in his arms.

"Ye Feng..."

Ye Feng didn't speak, but simply raised his head and kissed her lips deeply.

……

afternoon.

Ye Feng and Liu Qingyi were dressed neatly.

"Shall I take you back to the company?" Ye Feng's voice was low and slightly hoarse.

Liu Qingyi shook her head. "No, I want to go back to the villa and have some peace and quiet."

"Okay." Ye Feng didn't say anything more, just looked at her quietly.

"I can drive back myself." Liu Qingyi picked up her handbag and walked towards the door.

"Qingyi..." Ye Feng called out to her, but hesitated to speak.

Liu Qingyi stopped in her tracks but didn't turn around. "Is there anything else?"

"It's nothing." Ye Feng paused, but ultimately said nothing. "Be careful on the road."

Liu Qingyi did not respond and left the room directly.

Ye Feng watched her departing figure until she disappeared from sight before leaving as well.

He went to a nearby pharmacy and bought a large bag of goji berries, then brewed a cup of it at home.
