His lips were busy kissing her when she kicked his calf gently. Song Yu said, “Go. Take those clothes, otherwise, it won’t be nice if Aunt Yang saw them tomorrow.”
Their undergarments were scattered on the floor just beside the sofa, and it would be embarrassing to let someone else see something so personal!
Even if Aunt Yang knew what they were doing, she should not be allowed to see such a scene!
Qi Chengzhi squinted and stared at her. To think that she dared to kick him. It made him feel as though his status had turned slightly inferior.
Feeling weak after seeing him look at her that way, she tried to endear him by leaning into his embrace and pleading gently with him, “Is it alright if you take them? Please? It’s going to be really embarrassing.”
Qi Chengzhi’s long lashes quivered gently and he gave her that indecipherable gaze once more.
Noticing that she felt flustered and was about to go down herself to tidy things up, he grabbed her waist and said in his rich, deep voice, “Wait here.”
He grabbed a pair of lounge pants from his dressing cupboard and wore them as he went down half-naked.
Every single scattered item of clothing was picked up by him, and last of all was Song Yu’s thin, itsy-bitsy panties. It was incredibly tiny and thin on his outstretched palm—so thin, in fact, that the slightest amount of force seemed capable of destroying it.
His eyes were glowing with red-hot passion when he kneaded her panties in his palm. Then, he turned and glimpsed at the Durex box which he tossed over to the coffee table earlier.
It was a good thing that he went down since it would be uncomfortable for him to go down and take the box while his pillar was erect.
Having gathered everything, he went back up, only to find Song Yu sleeping.
She had been on the move constantly throughout the whole day, and after going through a very excitable night, she closed her eyes and fell asleep the instant he left.
He placed everything down, went up gently onto the bed, then held her in his embrace.
As light as those movements were, she still woke up when he came into contact with her.
Her slightly-curled eyelashes fluttered a few times before she opened her eyes slowly. She smiled apologetically at him and said, “I’m sorry, I fell asleep.”
Qi Chengzhi lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead. He pulled her face into his chest and rested his chin on her head, saying, “Sleep.”
…
…
In the morning, Song Yu heard a rustling sound. She opened her eyes and saw the foreignness of the room. Its drabness seemed typical of a man’s place.
Even the sheets were imbued with Qi Chengzhi’s clean, familiar smell.
Song Yu then realized that she was in Qi Chengzhi’s room.
She followed the noise that her ear picked up and saw Qi Chengzhi through the transparent glass of the bathroom. He was shaving by the sink.
Shaving cream surrounded his lips and covered his chin. Three buttons of his dress shirt were open, and he was not wearing a tie. His sleeves were rolled up too, making him look very laid-back.
The shaving blade glided across his skin and swept away the cream to reveal his clean-shaven face.
His movements were precise, and his strong arms were put on display.
It was the first time Song Yu saw a man do something like this. A simple lift of the hand or a minuscule motion was enough to give her an impression of manliness and sexiness.
Song Yu kept on looking at him until he finished cleaning and came out. There was a delightful smell of aftershave on him.
“Why didn’t you say anything when you woke up?” He glanced at her before taking out a necktie from his drawer and tying it in front of a mirror.
Embarrassed, she blushed, sat up, and covered herself with her blanket.
“I don’t have any clothes,” she said awkwardly. She fell asleep immediately after laying down the night before, and when she woke up, she realized she did not even have an extra pair of undergarments.
“There are some undergarments that might suit you in the drawer,” he said as he completed the last knot of his tie. He then walked over to another compartment of the dressing cupboard and opened it. “You can choose your clothes here.”
Song Yu’s jaw dropped as she looked at the wide-open cupboard. An array of women’s clothes were hung just beside Qi Chengzhi’s clothes, and all of them were so new that their tags were not even removed.
She wrapped herself in the blanket and walked strenuously to the cupboard. Qi Chengzhi’s ties, watches, and jewelry were placed in one of the drawers. Below that drawer was where he placed his undergarments, along with those that were meant for Song Yu. It was so intimate that she could feel her face turning red-hot.
Taking any one of them at random, she noticed that the measurements were correct. She then looked at the clothes and discovered that they, too, were in her size.
“You bought and prepared all this?”‘Was he plotting to have me come over all along? Why would he prepare everything so completely if he didn’t?’
“…” He looked at her, took his suit jacket from the hanger, and draped it over his arm. “If you’re ready, go down and have breakfast. You’re going to be late.”
He went down as soon as he finished speaking.
“…” Song Yu was speechless as she looked at him leave. It seemed to be the case that whenever he had a question he did not want to answer, he would ignore it so effortlessly and change the topic.
After breakfast, he sent Song Yu to work. Song Yu felt that something was not right, but it was not until the Range Rover reached the company that she realized what was wrong. At that time, she was just about to get down.
“Where are your spectacles?” She looked at him, then all around him, and noticed that his spectacles were nowhere to be found.
“…” Qi Chengzhi eyes squinted slightly and he replied simply, “I forgot them.”
“I still like you without them,” Song Yu remarked once again and kissed his cheek before getting off.
A smile began to form on his lips. He looked at her and left only when she entered the building.
Upon arriving at Qilin, almost everyone had the same reaction: first, their jaw dropped, then they called out, “Director!”
Cheng Dongge stood up when Qi Chengzhi reached the office, and the former greeted out of habit, “Young…”
The subsequent words ‘Master Cheng’ took a while to come out of his mouth.
Thus, the conversations throughout Qilin’s day—from BBS 1 [1] to rest time—was filled with the same sentence.
“The director is wearing invisible spectacles!”
…
…
As the construction work for the hotel began, Song Yu had to travel to the project site almost daily in order to take a look at the situation there and discuss things with the foreman. Bit by bit, the foundation was established, and she no longer needed to visit the site too regularly, as long as she timed her visits according to the stages in the blueprint.
She was in the midst of looking at the blueprint when Manager Wang hurried over. His face was sullen and he did not even bother to greet her before questioning her, “Song Yu, how did you communicate with Qilin?”
“What’s the matter, Manager Wang?” Befuddled, she placed the paper down and stood up.
“All the construction workers have stopped working. Qilin didn’t pay them. The construction materials and their wages haven’t been paid for, so they don’t want to work and are now going on strike!” Manager Wang did not look happy at all. His face suggested that he was fuming in anger.
“I remember that the first stage isn’t completed yet. We’re owing them for the second stage, right?” Song Yu frowned and asked.
“Yes, that’s correct, but if they don’t receive the down payment for the second stage, they won’t finish up the first stage,” Manager Wang said.
