Qi Chengyue drove over to Imperial Terrace, where the Qi Zhongliang couple was staying. Xia Wenna had ordered the servants to prepare tea. In actual fact, she was about to go to bed at that time. However, Qi Chengyue seemed to have something really important to tell her when she called.
Once Qi Chengyue arrived, she acted all secretive and requested Xia Wenna to clear out the servants.
“Uncle, aunty, I think that I must let you know about this. Remember when big brother said that he has a girlfriend now?” Qi Chengyue put on an act and said.
“Yes, any problem with that?” Xia Wenna answered Qi Chengyue’s opening cleverly.
“Big brother’s girlfriend is Song Yu,” Qi Chengyue said.
Xia Wenna’s hand that was holding the teacup jerked slightly and trembled so faintly that it was almost unnoticeable. However, she regained her composure right away.
“Song Yu? Are you referring to the one I’m thinking?” Xia Wenna’s expression became serious.
“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. I attended the gathering of Jixia High School today and heard rumors about it but I couldn’t believe it. I was planning to find big brother tonight to ask him, but I saw him carrying Song Yu on his back and entering the house. Aunty, can you imagine big brother piggybacking someone? I was shocked when I saw that. He chased me away after that. Looks like he’s very serious about Song Yu.”
Qi Chengyue took a sip of tea and posed in a righteous look, “I don’t have the liberty to tell others about big brother’s business. Nonetheless, everybody knew that Song Yu was previously engaged to fourth brother. Also, the bankruptcy of the Song family stirred up quite the news and all those within our circle knew about it. Now she’s with big brother, and if this goes out… there’s no guarantee of how nasty the rumors are going to be.
Furthermore, I’m the one managing the finances of the hotel infrastructures. However, big brother put me on leave and banned me from handling matters related to the hotel just because Song Yu and I had different opinions. Before this, big brother isn’t someone who mixes up his profession with his personal life.”
Xia Wenna listened quietly without saying a word. After Qi Chengyue finished, she said nonchalantly, “We’re aware of this.”
Qi Chengyue looked at Qi Zhongliang with an uncertain expression and proceeded to turn and look at Xia Wenna. Were they going to express their opinion instead of just a simple sentence like this?
However, she dared not say anything further as it may result in a counter-effect. She still could not judge the situation when she left.
After Qi Chengyue was gone, Xia Wenna and Qi Zhongliang went back to the bedroom. Xie Wenna asked, “What do you think about this?
“Chengzhi is not one that will cross the boundaries. About what happened to Qi Chengyue during work, just listen and forget about it,” Qi Zhongliang said as he changed into his silk pajamas.
“I’m not referring to that. I was talking about Song Yu. I’m not bothered about what happened at work as I believe in Chengzhi. Nevertheless, she did mention one thing right. Song Yu’s been engaged to Qi Chengji in the past, and now she’s with Chengzhi. After what happened to Chengze, mum and dad told us not to judge their status or force them into an arranged marriage anymore. Also, Chengzhi is already thirty-four years old and haven’t gotten a girlfriend yet. I’ll be thanking Buddha if he can get married and have kids regardless of the girl’s family background. However, to be with someone who was the fiancee of your own brother, this is…”
“If worse comes to worst, just introduce him to a few decent ones,” Qi Zhongliang replied.
…
…
On the second day, Qi Chengzhi sent Song Yu to the office. She went to the pharmacy and bought some morning-after pills during her lunch break.
He was not prepared when they did it in the car last night, and she had forgotten about it as well.
She heard that the morning-after pill could be taken within 72 hours after having unprotected sex. Hopefully, it would work.
When she got off from work that evening, Qi Chengzhi came to pick her up. Song Yu told him that she wanted to go back to her condominium. She was quite worried as it had been several days since she went home.
Qi Chengzhi glanced at her without a word. In the end, his Range Rover was parked at the basement of Song Yu’s condo.
When they opened the door, Song Yu thought of the keys and she could not help but ask him, “When are you returning my keys?”
“…”, Qi Chengzhi just went straight in and looked around her normal-sized condominium as if he was examining the place. His towering physique looked like as if he filled up the whole room. Finally, he entered the bedroom.
When Song Yu changed into her shoes and checked through the whole house to ensure that everything was fine, she followed him into the bedroom. She saw that Qi Chengzhi was staring at the drawer where she kept her lingerie.
His handsome face looked gentle from the side. The corner of his mouth was curved slightly—seemed like he was in a very good mood.
Then, his slender fingers picked up one of her panties and put it in his hands to examine carefully. It was smaller than both of his extended palms.
Song Yu’s face became flushed instantly. She ran over and snatched the panty from his hands, “What are you doing?”
“Can’t I have a look at it?” Qi Chengzhi chuckled and looked at her teasingly. A spark ignited in his mysterious black eyes when he sized her up from top to bottom, “I saw what you’re wearing inside this morning.”
Song Yu was so embarrassed that she unknowingly rolled the panty in her hand into a ball. The scene of a grown man holding such a skimpy panty was just too provocative.
Qi Chengzhi glanced at her, half-smiling, and circled his arms around in a swift movement. His burning palm pressed against her waist, where she was only wearing a thin shirt that she only wore indoors. He tightened his embrace and locked her in his arms.
He lowered his head. The lines on his lips looked softer as he curled his lips slightly. He pressed them at the corner of his eyes and nuzzled gently, “I didn’t expect you to keep the underwear that I bought last time.”
Song Yu lowered her head and saw the men’s underwear beside her own panties. She could feel her face started to burn immediately.
Qi Chengzhi closed the drawer and turned around to look at her. He circled her with both his arms around her waist and tightened them.
His head was kept lowered, with his burning lips grazing downwards slowly from the corner of her eye to her lips. He sniffed the refreshing scent of her lips as if he would never have enough of them.
He used the tip of his tongue to trace the corners of her lips deliberately, his hot breath wafted on the corner of her lips and cheek, “Since your tenancy is expiring within less than two months, come and stay with me. You’ve stayed at my place for a few nights. I’m sure you’re used to it by now?”
Song Yu did not want to act pretentiously. When she came to think about it, if she did not go over to his place, he would come to hers. There was no difference in doing that. This man would never let her live alone.
She kept this place without moving officially to Viewpark Residence was because she wanted to maintain her own independence.
However, she seemed to be more and more dependent on him as he was always around.
“Pack things up tonight and we’ll come over tomorrow to move the rest, hmm?” His voice sounded deep and smooth, soothing her heart in a way that comforted her.
Those slender, deft fingers pried open the lower hems of her shirt discreetly and crawled up the delicate skin on her back. They moved their way upwards bit by bit, grazing her skin with those rough finger beds. The sensation was so ticklish that it made her body shook violently.
Song Yu could not hold it in and whimpered. Her whole body collapsed in his embrace.
His lips were pressed against hers from the start. When she opened her mouth, the movement of her lips also rubbed against his.
“I was about to tell you that tomorrow is my dad’s birthday. I plan to go home and accompany my parents,” Song Yu said softly, her bright red cheeks felt tingly as if there were electricity coursing through them.
“The day after tomorrow then,” his tone was calm and determined, not allowing any further discussions on this issue.
Song Yu, “…”
At last, she started packing her luggage after his carrot-and-stick approach.
The first thing Qi Chengzhi went for was her lingerie. Song Yu stood aside and looked at him, speechless.
Both of them packed two luggage bags. Song Yu did not own much. She would not bring everything over as this was just a temporary living space.
After packing the two luggage bags, there was not much left. Only a few miscellaneous items remained unpacked. It would be easily cleared in one go if they come over on Sunday.
Qi Chengzhi met with Aunt Zhang who was living next door when he was loading the luggage into the trunk.
Aunt Zhang’s eyes were gleaming with a gossipy expression when she asked laughingly, “You guys are moving or going somewhere for holiday?”
Qi Chengzhi did not say a thing and just stood there in an extravagant stance. The reason he chatted with Aunt Zhang the last time was to get into Song Yu’s house. Since Qi Chengzhi had no demands this time around, there was no need to waste his breath.
Song Yu could not think of how to answer her. Aunt Zhang understood the whole situation when she saw Song Yu blushing, “Moving to live with your boyfriend?”
“Uh…uhm,” since she guessed it correctly, Song Yu did not hide further and said directly, “Aunt Zhang, my tenancy is due in two months time. I’ll drop by from time to time. Can you please look after the house for me when I’m not around?”
“No worries, I don’t sleep as much as before at this age of mine. I’m not a deep sleeper, I can hear even the slightest movement. I can guarantee that it’ll be taken care of when I’m at home,” Aunt Zhang said laughingly. She could not resist it and fixated her gaze on the Range Rover behind her.
“Wow, what a huge car! Definitely costs a lot right? What’s your boyfriend working as?” Aunt Zhang turned her focus onto Qi Chengzhi. This man exuded out an aloof aura that she had never encountered before.
Even the son-in-law of Lao Chen from building two that owned a company did not possess such elegance.
Song Yu withheld the truth from Aunt Zhang and just briefly skimmed through before bidding farewell.
