Chapter 5 (1/2)

Black-Bellied Dad Chapter 5

Covered in a wide span of maroon bed sheets, the bed is really too much to resist. She wants to be the first person to lie on it, lean her head back and roll around.

“Mnn…” Huang Shang Rong wriggles, feeling the vibrations from the lower layers. “Such a comfortable feeling….” She should also switch to a Simmons!

“Right.”

“Don’t you think it’s comfortable?” She knows he had followed her lead in lying on the bed.

“As long as it’s something you’ve given, I’ll always find it comfortable.”

Huang Shang Rong wrinkles her brow, finding him a little disgusting. Turning towards the handsome face near hers, “You talk too much. This lady has given you a gift, you should thank her for her grace.”

Xu He Jun smiles. Getting up, he picks his son up from the infant cot, placing him on the bed between them. Before Huang Shang Rong realizes the situation, he pushes his son towards her.

“Kiss your G.o.dmother. Quick, thank her.”

Xu Hao fittingly pecks her cheek for an instant.

Stunned, she hadn’t expected he’d push his son in front of her.

“You’re welcome.” The little thing is just too cute, she couldn’t resist returning a kiss.

“Now it’s my turn.” Pus.h.i.+ng his son to the side, Xu He Jun leans forward, lightly brus.h.i.+ng against her lips, lowering his voice into a husky whisper, “This is the adult version.”

Huang Shang Rong suddenly feels her whole body relax —- No, her whole body being stretched out and bring refreshed, with divine energy flooding inside—– No, it’s all the blood in her body rus.h.i.+ng to her face. In short, her body floods with relief and clarity, feeling both reinvigorated and red faced, with her heart thumping wildly. Currently, even she can’t describe her reaction.

Just like that night….

Alarmed, her whole body wants to leap out, when his body presses down on her.

Selfishly pressing down, he feels fiery hot as he leans his whole body against her, but doesn’t do a thing. Using both his hands to grip her arms, a proud smile hangs on the corner of his mouth, as he continues, “You haven’t returned my kiss.”

Why would I kiss you? She clearly thinks this in her heart, but can’t seem to put it into words under his powerful stare, unrelentingly catching her gaze. From the look in his eyes, she can tell he won’t let go until she kisses him.

Eyeing his lips, she leans forward with her eyes closed, hastily kissing him for a moment in return.

This should be fine! He can let her off now! Only, his body is still pressed firmly against hers, not making a single move.

She’s too scared to open her eyes, since she knows how searing his gaze is, since his voice is also—

He lightly sighs, with the air brus.h.i.+ng against her cheek, making her heart unbearable.

“Shang Rong ah, Shang Rong….” Only hearing his deep voice. “Do you really think this is enough?”

What? What else does he want?

Her female instinct can feel it blatantly displayed through his voice, his actions, his temperature, his desires —- it clearly wasn’t there a moment ago, how detestable! Biting her lip, she draws even more of his interest.

“Shang Rong….”

Is he calling her? How long has it been since someone called her like this? Huang Shang Rong opens her eyes in shock, lips slightly parting. Conveniently holding her beneath him, Xu He Jun seizes her sweet lips.

“Wuuu….” Her strength leaves her. Clenching her fist, she wants to push him away, but faced with his pa.s.sionate a.s.sault, she realizes she has nowhere left to run. With his body pus.h.i.+ng against hers on top of the soft and fluffy mattress, she seems to have sunk even deeper?

He explores her mouth with vigour, as she continues to struggle. But it only provokes him to become more seductive and insatiable.

Isn’t he a man 4 years her junior? Not to mention her subordinate, and an a.s.sistant who can only afford to buy a second hand motor cycle. How can he kiss her like this?

As his hand starts to wonder south, his large, warm palm against her flimsy silk trousers, stroking at her most sensitive area, instantly, her whole body stiffens. Her eyes widen in shock as she grips his hand, stopping his invasion.

“He Jun….”

Xu He Jun hugs her from above, encasing her into his arms. Completely trapped in his embrace, Huang Shang Rong had never noticed how fragile she is. Not only does he have a handsome and refined face, his shoulders and physique are broad, more than enough to completely cover her.

“Look at me.” His husky voice filled with raw magnetism. His hot breath against her face piquing her interest, wondering if her own breath is like this. “Can you sense my feelings for you?”

His feelings towards her? He likes her? Huang Shang Rong’s heart is filled with uncertainty. What does he even like about her? To most people, isn’t she the female Empress, the female demoness? How can he like this sort of her?

“But…”

He leans forward, controlling his body so his full weight won’t crush her, burying his face near her neck. Crooning so only the two of them can hear, “Today is my birthday. I truly wish my birthday present could be you, but I know you need more time. Also I don’t want to be a casual type of guy —- if only I could be, then I’d immediately eat you up.”

As he speaks, he nibbles on her ear, causing her to tremble. Xu He Jun lets out a satisfied smile, continuing “But because I want to treasure you, we’ll start a little later, okay?”

When he puts it like this, can she even refuse?

She sees his body leave her side, standing proudly and unrestrained before her. Unable to control her forbidden desires, Huang Shang Rong gulps loudly. Instead of imagining scenarios involving the amorous part of his trousers, but rather… How could the world have this sort of man! How can he act like a little boy one moment, whimsical and muddled before her, yet suddenly become a proud man, unrestrained in his pa.s.sion and l.u.s.t towards her…..

“You should cool down a bit. I’ll take Hao Hao out. Dinner is almost ready, you can come out once you’ve calmed down, I’ll wait for you to eat.” As he says it, he carries his son out of the room.

This, this should be her line! Give her time to calm down? He should be the one to calm down! Didn’t he see his ‘brother’ pointing towards the sky? Yet he still carries his son out like that, like it’s nothing….

Calm down? Hearing his fiery hot confession, what type of woman can calm down?

Is he really the same Xu He Jun she thought he was? Wasn’t he a pa.s.sive and harmless little attendant? When did he suddenly become a silver tongued rogue? Under the heavens, only he would treat her as a sweet dessert to be devoured. Touching her moist and swollen lips, as well as the part of her neck he had just bitten. Even without touching her burning cheeks, she knows they’ve reached boiling point.

Why would he kiss her? And say all those things to her? Does he like her? Impossible! He should like a girl the same age, or even younger. She’s so fierce, sometimes she can’t even stand herself, how can someone else like her? Or could it be that this intimate kiss and this burning pa.s.sion is only out of grat.i.tude, and he’s only thanking her for giving such a huge gift, and for spending so much on Hao Hao…

Her reasoning is based on common knowledge. No one would like women like her. Sometimes even she thinks she was born in the wrong body. If she was given a male body, a guy with her courage and ferocity would definitely enamour a flock of girls. Yet she’s a woman, and these feature will only send a bunch of men running.

Xu He Jun is a really good man. This type of good man wouldn’t be interested in her. She knows her own limits, maybe he’s just temporarily entranced.

From the perspective of a man who’s just entered society, she has all the material needs they covet. She’s single, her socioeconomic status isn’t low, she has her own house, car, knows how to invest, can freely use her money without needing to worry about living expenses. Not to mention, with her economic capacity, she can let Hao Hao live a carefree life….. This is the type of life most men dream of. As for him, maybe it’s sympathizing, admiring, or even wanting to benefit from her, let’s say a promotion or a raise….

Huang Shang Rong purses her lips, with a bitter taste spreading in her mouth. Right! If she looks at it like this, it’s not at all weird that he’d treat her well.

At the thought, her enthusiasm substantially subsides, only the aching and wet feeling in her eyes was completely unexpected.

Only after was.h.i.+ng her face in the bathroom, does she dare to walk to the kitchen. One big, one small, both were already waiting for her by the dinner table. Just as Xu He Jun finishes playing with his son, Huang Shang Rong lightly coughs twice as she sits beside him, unable to resist stealing a glance at his trousers.

“Do you feel better now?”

She nods, unable to look him straight in the eye, not wanting him to notice she had been crying.

“Eat more meat, you’re too skinny.” Adding a chicken drumstick to her bowl, he then asks if she wants to eat pizza.

He had said he’d prepare the food, but since he’s practically never cooked, the table is covered with the pizza and drinks he had ordered. Looks like she needs to have a few words with him.

“Why are we eating all this junk food?”

“I can’t cook!” Xu He Jun innocently opens his palms. “If we eat out, you’d reprimand me for wasting money, so I can only…”

Black lines appear on Huang Shang Rong’s head, like this and he dares to invite her home for a feast—

“You…. How did you manage to live so long?”

“There’s usually someone …. Who’d come to my home to cook for me….” He vaguely explains.

Family social workers? She hadn’t realized he’d lived such a bitter life. Patting his shoulder, she recalls the divine blessings over his head, “You’ll get through it! Think of Chen Shui-Bian[1], he was also from a poor household but became the President! I believe, as long as you continue working hard, you’ll also make it.”

Does she really see him as impoverished? Suddenly, Xu He Jun has an unprecedented sense of guilt. Actually, having grown up in a huge mansion, he never knew what impoverished meant. It was only after living alone that he started to live like ordinary people….

What was poor? It’s based on frugality! He had watched a TV show introducing the lives of impoverished students. Isn’t it just using other people’s second hand goods? So he had imitated them. All his household appliance were contributed by others. Also, he had opened a bank account to receive his income, stipulating he can only use this for his living expenses…..

At first, he wasn’t used to it and couldn’t adapt, but it was alright after a while. Anyway, isn’t it just eating the cheapest things, and economizing, not needlessly spending aside from the necessary expenditures —- food, rent, water and electricity.

Not to mention, it’s only living by himself that he realizes he needs to wash his own dirty clothes, dry it, and fold it himself, for them to be as flat as new, also for dishes…. From the start, their household workers would do everything for him. It’s only now that he knows a lot of things shouldn’t be taken for granted. If he wants clean clothes and dishes, he needs to spend time and effort to sort them.

Ordinary people have it tough!

It’s also because of his impoverished (pretend poverty) lifestyle that Huang Shang Rong would earnestly treat him as a penniless a.s.sistant, and even helped him buy a mattress, his heart is really moved…. He really wants to do something for her. If he was still young master Xu He Jun, naturally he’d easily have 99 roses sent to her office. He knows she likes to collect gems as investments. No problem, whatever large gem she wants, he’ll immediately have someone order it….

But right now, he’s the poor brat Xu He Jun, holding a crying infant, almost unable to make ends meet. How can he have any spare cash to waste on luxuries and act romantic?

If he had money, women like Huang Shang Rong wouldn’t gather near him. A thought flashes through his mind regarding his woman. Not only that, she’d try to run as far away as she can. Suddenly, his heart skips a beat, just because of a decision he had made 2 years ago, just because he temporarily decided to withdraw from the spotlight of the Xu family’s son, he was able to come to this place and meet her….

He knows she’s special, so, should he reveal parts of his background to her?

“People! No matter where they go, they should know how to look after themselves…. Always acting as a guest, but unable to cook for themselves at home, it’s really bad for the body.” Continuing, Huang Shang Rong arbitrarily decides, “Let’s do this then! In the future for breakfast and lunch, if I cook for myself, I’ll also make a portion for you!”

What? A wife lunchbox? Xu He Jun’s eyes brighten. If he tells her he ‘actually isn’t that poor’, she probably wouldn’t prepare a lunchbox! Mnnn…. In front of this gift, thinking about it, that tiny bit of guilt isn’t so serious….

If he needs to, he doesn’t mind being someone’s dog.
