As long as she heard his voice, her heart would become calm, every single time. Whatever fear or nervousness that she had would disappear immediately.

Song Yu raised her head and saw Qi Chengzhi’s stern but handsome face from the side. At night, Dynasty was fully lit with lights, but no matter how brightly it shone, it was no match for day time because the duskiness of the night was still present.

Under the luminous light, the shadows appeared to enhance the contours of his face.

She did not know when he took off his glasses, but the interweaving of light and darkness on his face made his eyes look even more enigmatic.

From her point of view, he was like the painting of a great master who skilfully used lighting to its best effect.

As Song Yu stared blankly, Qi Chengzhi lowered his head abruptly and kissed her lips while walking.

Song Yu opened her eyes in bewilderment and felt his tongue tunnelling in. She was a hapless recipient of the kiss, but her hands unwittingly grabbed the back of his head tightly.

She actually wanted to push him away, but for some reason, she pressed on the back of his head and allowed him to kiss even deeper.

After what seemed like a long time, he released her, leaving both of them gasping frantically for air.

His face was close to hers, so both their breaths were entwined with one another.

Looking up, she saw a fire burning wildly in his calm eyes, and it made her shudder uncontrollably.

…

…

Back at the banquet hall Jian Yi could not resist searching for Song Yu. He searched and searched, but was unable to find her.

After searching the place once, he noticed that Qi Chengzhi was gone as well.

Jian Yi’s face turned sour. How coincidental that both of them were not there. He could not help but let his imagination run wild.

With a malicious expression, Jian Yi followed Qi Chengyue around. He allowed her to introduce him to all the company bosses or their sons.

“Where’s my big brother?” After a round of introductions, Qi Chengyue decided to formally introduce Jian Yi to Qi Chengzhi, but not in the capacity of superior and subordinate. She wanted to introduce him as a future addition to the Qi family: as her boyfriend and fiancé.

They searched for quite some time but were unable to locate him so she pulled over Cheng Dongge and asked.

Jian Yi’s ears perked up. Cheng Dongge glimpsed furtively at Jian Yi and replied calmly, as though he knew nothing, “A client just called him upon arriving at B City. It’s a really important client, so Young Master Cheng left to make a personal visit.”

Once he heard those words, Jian Yi’s expression gradually relaxed.

Qi Chengyue did not notice that Qi Chengzhi was gone. She did not respond to Cheng Dongge but turned to wrap her hand around Jian Yi’s arm. She pouted and said amorously, “I wanted to formally introduce you to my big brother, so he’ll stop treating you as an ordinary employee. Seems like there’s no chance for me to do so today.”

“There will be another chance in the future.” Jian Yi smiled plainly and touched her hair gently. “Anyway, everyone here already knows about us, right?”

“You’re right.” Qi Chengyue then giggled happily. “How about, you come home with me for the Lunar New Year? On the Lunar New Year’s Eve, we’re all going to our grandfather’s place, so when we’re celebrating there, I’ll formally introduce you to my family.”

“I’m alright with that, but I’m just worried about your family’s impression toward me. I’m worried that they might think I’m using you and claiming connections with the high-class people in your family.” He smiled nervously.

“They won’t.” Qi Chengyue shook his arm. “My grandfather is a good person. He won’t be biased toward any familial status and he especially likes those youngsters who make progress through their hard work. My elder uncle and my parents, they’re a bit stern, but my parents loved me dearly since I was a child. My parents were really frightened when my third brother was murdered by his wife, so they won’t force their children to get married. So, as long as I like you, they won’t say no.”

“Okay.” Jian Yi smiled with warmth in his eyes.

…

…

Ruan Danchen held her plate and sat at her corner, observing Qi Chengyue pulling on Jian Yi intimately and introducing him to all the upper-class figures. She also saw how they acted with each other as if no one was around them: Qi Chengyue was almost throwing herself on top of Jian Yi.

She frowned because she always thought that Song Yu and Jian Yi were together. Even if they never openly mentioned it before, there were certainly some feelings between them, because no man would ever care so much for someone who did not matter to them.

However, from what she saw that day Jian Yi seemed to be together with Qi Chengyue!

The both of them had even announced their relationship publicly.

Almost immediately, Ruan Danchen remembered when Jian Yi blocked Song Yu earlier that afternoon. Song Yu’s face was unhappy, as if dreading to see Jian Yi.

Soon enough, Ruan Danchen connected the dots. Her face sunk and she muttered, “Heartless rat.” She then ceased looking at Jian Yi and Qi Chengyue. She feared that if she continued to do so all the delicious and expensive seafood that she ate might be vomited out.

…

…

Qi Chengzhi drove to Song Yu’s apartment building. His presence in the car was undoubtedly strong, his aura was still as dense.

Throughout the journey, Song Yu failed to calm herself down. Instead, her heart turned even more frenetic, her brain could not resist but to replay the scene of their kiss.

Her skin remained warm, the feeling of his lips on his skin was still very much clear. Even at that time, it felt to her as though his lips were pasted warmly and moistly against her skin.

Having endured the journey with great difficulty, she hurriedly unbuckled her seat belt.

However, his influence made her hand tremble severely. In that moment the seat belt – which she usually would have managed to take off with ease– appeared to oppose, making it hard for her to unbuckle it no matter what she tried to do.

The more anxious she became, the more flustered her heart was. It caused her hand movements to become more and more jittery. She was quivering from head to toe. No matter what she did, the seatbelt would not come off.

All of a sudden, she felt him come closer, and a thick shadow was cast over her head.

His breath brushed against the top of her head, her scalp felt so warm that it could blow up at any time.

Song Yu’s breathing turned urgent, heavy, and panicky. She need not lift her head to know that he was staring at her with a heated gaze.

As his breaths landed on her forehead, she felt unable to open her eyes.

With heavy eyelids, she saw his slender hands reach out and touch her hand.

Song Yu retracted her hand as though she came into contact with something scalding. With a simple ‘pa-ta’, Qi Chengzhi released the seatbelt for her.

“Thank…” She lifted her head to thank him but her voice was suddenly halted. Her next word, which was ‘you’, had been eaten up by Qi Chengzhi’s gaze.

Her gentle lips trembled for a moment, she then gulped abruptly. Her body motioned backward unconsciously, but she still felt trapped.

Qi Chengzhi’s gaze was dazzling and luminous in the night; it had a strong, intrusive quality to it, causing her to feel like she was clutching a piece of driftwood in the middle of a stormy sea.

“Young Master Cheng…” Song Yu mustered up the courage and called out stubbornly. She kept her head low and did not dare to see him.

“Back at Dynasty you called me Qi Chengzhi. Now, you’re calling me Young Master Cheng. Are all women this fickle?” he muttered. His breath touched her lips, which was then filled with his energy. Nothing she did could make it go away.

“We…we can’t do this.” Her breathing became irregular because she was unable to avoid his scalding breath.

“We can’t do what? You and I are both single. What is it that we can’t do?” Qi Chengzhi stared intently at her. His deep voice turning seductive and sweet-sounding as they go into the night.
