Qin Heye’s voice, low and captivating, held Shi Ning spellbound. She felt drawn in, almost losing herself to his charm, ready to meticulously “check” him. But then, two or three defiant rays of sunlight pierced through the slightly ajar curtains, a stark reminder that it was, indeed, broad daylight. So don’t mess around!
Shi Ning placed her small hand against Qin Heye’s chest, pushing gently. “Qin Heye, in broad daylight… um.”
He leaned in, his lips finding hers, silencing her protest. At first, Shi Ning intended to resist, to pull away. But his kiss was surprisingly gentle, utterly focused on her, offering an unprecedented experience. She found herself melting, like a kitten having its fur stroked, curling obediently in his arms. Her small hands, guided by his, found the buttons of his shirt, unfastening them one by one. The shirt slipped off, falling to the floor. Shi Ning was lost in the kiss, adrift in a haze of confusion and enchantment, as if floating on clouds.
Qin Heye’s kisses drifted to her eyes. His voice, hoarse and coaxing, whispered, “Wife, open your eyes and check inch by inch. Am I clean all over?”
Shi Ning, coaxed, slowly opened her eyes. She met Qin Heye’s gaze, restrained yet still burning with a fiery intensity, which made her blush deeply. She dared not look directly at him, nor did she possess the courage to conduct an “inch-by-inch” inspection. Her only response was a stammered, blushing whisper, “Damn… clean, very clean.”
Qin Heye leaned closer. “The fragrance of the body…”
“Very fragrant, very good!” Shi Ning quickly interjected, her small hand pressed firmly against his chest, preventing him from moving any closer. She feared she might lose control.
Without warning, Qin Heye scooped her up by the waist, settling her onto his lap, holding her tightly in his embrace. His lips brushed her ear. “Are you satisfied with my strength after eating?”
They sat there, holding each other, so close that Shi Ning instantly felt the undeniable change in Qin Heye. Her cheeks burned, her mind a chaotic mess. “Satisfied, satisfied… um.”
The next second, the world spun. Shi Ning felt the quilt lift, then descend, enveloping both her and Qin Heye in darkness. Her vision went black. In the sudden gloom, all her senses sharpened, focusing entirely on Qin Heye, who was pressing down on her.
“Qin Heye,” Shi Ning whispered, a tremor in her voice, with a hint of fear.
But that soft call only intensified Qin Heye’s emotion. He lowered his head, kissing her lips, their mouths intertwining. His low, sexy voice overflowed. “I am very happy to serve you.”
As his words faded, Qin Heye’s kisses rained down, inch by inch, bit by bit, leaving no part of her body untouched. Soon, a red skirt, adorned with small floral patterns, was tossed out from beneath the quilt, landing beside the white shirt on the floor.
At this moment downstairs, Shi Qingyin’s loud, sharp voice cut through the air. “Brother Xizhou, you’re here!” She paused, then continued, her voice deliberately carrying. “Sister is back too! Is Brother Xizhou going to look for sister upstairs?” Her voice was so loud, it was clearly intended to disrupt any private moment.
Shi Ning, for a fleeting moment, was distracted. But Qin Heye intensified his kiss, preventing her attention from straying. Shi Ning’s focus instantly returned to his lips. The outside world faded away once again ; she heard nothing, only sinking deeper in the feelings as Qin Heye led her further. She remained completely unaffected by the sounds downstairs. Qin Heye, too, refused to be swayed. He even went further, leaving marks on Shi Ning, indelible marks that belonged only to him.
Downstairs, Shi Qingyin, seeing Shen Xizhou emerge from his car, had deliberately shouted. When Shi Ning didn’t appear on the balcony, she looked up at the second floor and shouted even louder. “Sister, Brother Xizhou is here, holding your favorite roses. Come down quickly!”
Shen Xizhou also looked up at the second-floor balcony. In the past, Shi Qingyin wouldn’t have needed to shout. The mere sound of his car engine would have brought Shi Ning running to the balcony like an elf, calling him “Brother Zhou” sweetly. She would look so happy, as if she wanted to leap directly from the balcony into his arms. The thought alone made his heart pound, a sense of homecoming filling him. But now… Shen Xizhou saw only an empty balcony, with curtains slightly ajar, with no sign of Shi Ning. His eyes couldn’t help but register loss and loneliness.
Shi Qingyin continued to try, shouting even louder. “Sister, Brother Xizhou is here…”
Shi Guoqiang heard the shouting, frowned, and interrupted her, clearly displeased. “Yinyin, are you not thinking straight? Your fiancé is here; just entertain him yourself. Why are you calling Xiao Ning?”
Butler Zhao, standing beside him, smiled. “Master, the second young lady is not in good health and has a little uterine cold, so she quickly put on a green hat to warm herself up.”
Shi Qingyin glared at Butler Zhao. A mere servant, a dog slave in ancient times, dared to speak to her like that! But she was powerless. Though a butler, he had served Shi Guoqiang for decades, and his status was no less than hers! Shi Qingyin took a deep breath, looked up, and explained to Shi Guoqiang. “I was afraid that if Brother Xizhou came and I didn’t call my sister at the first time, my sister would be angry and quarrel with my uncle, so I called my sister.”
Shi Guoqiang frowned, remembering Shi Ning’s past tantrums over such matters. His expression softened slightly, and he said solemnly, “That was in the past. Now Ningning and Heye have a good relationship, so don’t do this anymore. Stop yelling and disturbing Ningning and Heye’s rest.” He then dismissed her. “Aren’t you going to cook dinner yourself? Go and get busy. I’ll entertain Xizhou here.”
Shi Qingyin, fearing she would overdo it and arouse Shi Guoqiang’s suspicion, could only force a dry smile. She shot Shen Xizhou a meaningful glance before heading to the kitchen.
Shen Xizhou, holding the roses and wine, asked Shi Guoqiang, “Uncle Shi, is Ningning back?”
Shi Guoqiang nodded happily, placing his index finger to his lips. “Shh, keep your voice down. Ningning and Heye are sleeping. Let’s go to the study to talk.”
Shen Xizhou looked up at the second floor, his expression gloomy. Shi Ning, did she really accept Qin Heye and no longer want him? It shouldn’t be! It can’t be! He vowed to find her later and demand an explanation. He also had to make it clear to her that without his permission, she couldn’t fall in love with anyone else; she could only be his!
The room was dark. The barrages, however, were frantic, desperate to enter the story.
“Ahhh! Why is it black! I can’t see anything! Is there anything that I, a distinguished SVIP, can’t see?”
“How did the female supporting role check? Is the big villain clean? He must be checked from head to toe, inside and out!”
“This distinguished member, a big fan of this book, is here to check the homework. You must check it for me! You must check it to the end!”
“How did the big villain Qin happily serve the female supporting role? I want details!”
Shi Ning, on the verge of succumbing to sleep, was suddenly jolted awake by the super-bright barrages that flooded her dark vision. They were enlarged, bold, and blazing red, more dazzling than the sun!
“Vicious female supporting role! Don’t sleep! Get up and make trouble!”
“The heroine and the hero are calculating you. As a vicious female supporting role, you should get up and make trouble! Your vicious personality cannot collapse!”
Shi Ning instantly snapped awake, pushing Qin Heye away, and sat up abruptly. !!! Shi Qingyin and Shen Xizhou were going to cause trouble?
