Dust from the environment had settled on Qi Chenglin’s outfit, and the night’s coolness and scent still lingered on him. The collar of his shirt and tie were loosened and his coat was resting on his forearm. He looked tired, with beard stubble emerging from his face.
Ruan Danchen was frozen to the spot. She had a phone call with him just a few hours ago and now he was standing right in front of her.
Her throat felt slightly sore and aching. She quickly got off her bed and pounced into his embosom.
Ruan Danchen buried her face in Qi Chenglin’s chest. Qi Chenglin lowered his head, his soft and gentle gaze rested on her head. She looked like a grief-stricken child who was treated unfairly. Qi Chenglin carried her in his embosom, his hug tightened, and sat on the bed.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you’re coming back during the call just now?” Ruan Danchen inhaled deeply and fought the urge to shed tears.
“I’m worried about you being alone here.” Qi Chenglin put her on his thighs, leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead.
Ruan Danchen smiled coquettishly. For some reason, her mind was at peace when Qi Chenglin returned home.
“Nothing happened these past few days?” Qi Chenglin asked, his voice low and croaky possibly due to tiredness. His lips were burning hot when it brushed on her forehead, coaxing chills down her spine.
Ruan Danchen shook her head as she could not speak at the moment.
Then, she heard him asking further, “Don’t you want to tell me the truth about why you’re on leave?”
Ruan Danchen lifted her head slowly and stared at him with surprise.
Though his face appeared weather-beaten and tired, he remained handsome and mature.
He let out a sigh before explaining, “Youxuan called me today saying that you’re on a holiday. I felt that something was wrong so I called you at night, which confirmed my suspicions after hearing your voice. You didn’t want to tell me so I have no choice but to ask Song Yu. She told me everything.”
“I don’t want you to worry about me,” Ruan Danchen said softly.
“I’m more worried if you don’t tell me anything. You rather tell Song Yu and keep this a secret from me—are you saying she’s more intimate to you than I am?” Qi Chenglin tightened his hug around her waist. He moved his lips away from her and she could notice the stern expression on his face.
Ruan Danchen stared at his expression which appeared slightly upset.
“I just don’t feel like involving you in any matters relating to my job. I normally settle matters myself whenever I hit the rocks in my work before I started a relationship with you. I don’t want to start depending on you now that I have you in my life—I’d feel useless that way,” Ruan Danchen conceded melancholically, her head lowered as she spoke.
To be honest, she did not want to depend solely on a man as how Liu Ronghua did. No man would be able to tolerate such attitude as it would induce a tremendous pressure on him.
“You could only stay strong since I wasn’t there before, but now you don’t need to since I’m here. You can always tell me whenever you feel unhappy or wronged—there’s no need to carry the burden all by yourself since I can usually settle it effortlessly. I won’t feel that you’re useless or over-dependent on me, and I certainly won’t feel annoyed at you. It’s my responsibility to take care of and protect you since you’re my woman now, and I’ll give you justice if you’re wronged. My shoulders are prepared especially for you to rest on, and I want you to depend on me. Now I feel sad and upset when you chose not to tell me when you’re treated unfairly,” Qi Chenglin said softly, his gaze gentle and loving.
“Sorry.” Ruan Danchen snuggled in and her arms squeezed a fraction tighter around him.
“There’s no need to apologize to me. You just need to depend on me from now on, and you don’t need to settle matters all by yourself anymore. If you’re wronged again, just tell me no matter the severity. Don’t let me ask around only to realize that my woman had received unjust treatment. You needn’t distinguish a lot of matters that clearly with me.” Qi Chenglin leaned forward and kissed on her forehead.
He held Ruan Danchen’s shoulders firmly so that she could look into his deep and gentle eyes. “You’re not like your mother—she couldn’t even be independent at all. That sort of dependency annoys men, but men choose to leave her because of the lack of affection too. You’re different—you’re independent and I need to beg you to depend on me. I won’t feel annoyed at you even if you don’t know anything and depend solely on me. I like the feeling when you depend on me and tell me everything, and I love solving all your problems. I hope you can complain to me immediately whenever you’re wronged. Whoever bullied you or made you unhappy, tell me and I’ll bring justice to you.”
“I don’t want you to sort things out very clearly with me. You prefer not to mix business with pleasure, but if I can help you in any way in business, I’ll lessen your burden and make your work simpler. I’ll do anything that makes you happy and decrease your stress level. If I can make your life at work easier than before, then why shouldn’t I do it?”
Ruan Danchen’s eyes began to water when she gazed upon his handsome face. It was no surprise that women would fall for him and went hell-bent on him.
She was fortunate to have given birth to a son for a man as good as him.
“I think…the most correct decision my mom did on her entire life was to let me replace Shen Zhijing on that night.” Ruan Danchen grinned in embarrassment as she was not used to taking the initiative on the confession.
Qi Chenglin’s lips curled up in a sexually attractive way and said in a low and croaky voice, “I think so too.”
Qi Chenglin hugged her and stroke her hair gently.
Ruan Danchen could not fall asleep now that Qi Chenglin returned, and the unjust treatment she received today did not feel unjust at all. His presence could magically make all injustice and unhappiness disappear into thin air.
She did not expect a man nearly as ill-mannered and sarcastic toward her initially would act excessively gentle towards her now.
Qi Chenglin considered Ruan Danchen his aegis and responsibility. The way he took over her burden on his shoulder and shielded her from harm appeared particularly charming to her.
“You must inform me first if there’s any trouble, alright?” Qi Chenglin said softly while stroking her hair gently.
“Alright.” Ruan Danchen nodded in his embosom, her cheek rubbing on his shirt.
Qi Chenglin smiled, his gaze and curling of lips remained soft and tender.
“You rushed back home after work because of this?” Ruan Danchen lifted her head and asked.
“I’ll get worried if I let you stay alone at home with no one to whine with when you’re wronged,” said Qi Chenglin while caressing her hair.
He leaned in softly and wet kisses on her head’s temporal region and the corner of her eyes.
Ruan Danchen could not express her gratitude and affection enough for this man. He was willing to put all his matters aside just to return home for her straight after work at night.
In contrast, Ruan Danchen felt that the unjust treatment she received was so minor that it was unworthy of him to rush around just for her.
There was a faint curve to Qi Chenglin’s lips and he brushed her lips with his lovingly, as though he knew what went through her mind.
His heart ached at the thought of her staying alone at home, suffering the unjust treatment she received. A body as thin and fragile as hers would not be able to endure this much pressure.
“You must be tired, get some rest soon. Are you done with your work there?” Ruan Danchen said quickly due to guilt.
“Not yet, there’s still a little bit of work left to do. I’ll take the earliest flight back there tomorrow and should be able to return home the day after tomorrow.” Qi Chenglin took off his shirt. Surprisingly, Ruan Danchen did not look away and her gaze fixated on him affectionately.
“Don’t rush around like this next time. I’ll get worried if you exhaust yourself,” said Ruan Danchen as she did not want him tuckered out by taking care of her.
“If you don’t want me to feel exhausted, then let me know immediately if you face any problems. I rushed back here because I was worried about you since you didn’t want to tell me anything,” replied Qi Chenglin as he took off his pants, his underwear the only remaining article on him. He stared at Ruan Danchen intensely in an almost naked state and this scenery appeared strange in her eyes.
“Alright, it won’t happen again next time,” said Ruan Danchen, like a child admitting her mistake and apologizing.
Qi Chenglin broke into laughter when he saw Ruan Danchen’s obedient attitude. He walked toward her, leaned down and pecked her on the lips before rushing to the bathroom for a quick five-minutes shower.
Ruan Danchen had buried herself in a blanket when Qi Chenglin went back to the bedroom. He noticed the softened expression on her face which signified that she was no longer affected by the incident this afternoon.
Ruan Danchen stared at Qi Chenglin with her big, round eyes. Even though her gaze was clear and without any dirty thoughts, Qi Chenglin was stimulated and aroused nonetheless.
Qi Chenglin buried himself into the heap of covers. Ruan Danchen took the initiative and squeezed into his embosom without him needing to reach for her. Her soft and slim arms encircled and tightened around him. Her fair, delicate and innocent face rested firmly against his chest. She moved around to find the most comfortable position before closing her eyes.
Ruan Dachen felt his long, slender fingers pinching the corner of her pajamas after a while.
“I didn’t mean it…” Ruan Danchen whispered and her body felt hot amid the embarrassment.
“I want. I went outstation for a couple of days now and I want it so badly. It was torture,” Qi Chenglin spoke softly and pecked her lips continuously.
“I thought you wanted to catch the earliest flight in the morning?” Her body trembled but she did not stop him.
“It’s okay, I don’t think I can sleep if I endure it any longer,” Qi Chenglin’s voice was extremely husky and deep. There was a charm to his voice which made him especially attractive.
Ruan Danchen’s face reddened like a strawberry in embarrassment and remained silent. She took the initiative and lifted her head to kiss him on the lips.
