"…" Ruan Danchen knew that she could not compete with this man in terms of shamelessness. She wanted to mock him, but she did not expect to shoot herself in the foot. She would not be able to handle it if he kept going.
"Stop fooling around. You must be tired. Quickly change your clothes and we'll go downstairs for dinner." Ruan Danchen pushed his firm chest with both hands and pushed him away. Her ears were burning.
"I'm not hungry now." Qi Chenglin suddenly held one of her hands and moved it down. "I'm hungry downstairs."
Ruan Danchen's hand was burning hot. She trembled in his palm and blushed. Her forehead was pressed against his chest.
She closed her eyes. She was too embarrassed to look at the scene below. Her hand was being held by him. That image was burning her eyes.
"Be good. We'll talk about it at night," Ruan Danchen said softly in his arms.
Qi Chenglin lowered his head and locked his gaze on her. Ruan Danchen found it difficult to breathe because of the fire in his eyes.
"How long will you be satisfied if we stay until night time?" He murmured in a low voice. His lips could not help but curl up slightly and rub the corner of her lips.
Ruan Danchen trembled because of his words. Her whole body was burning hot. Her face was burning hot. She could not control herself.
Her ears were red. She could not say anything. She could only nod her head slightly. Her movement was very light.
Qi Chenglin smiled. He held her hand and rubbed it a few more times before letting go of her.
Ruan Danchen held his hand tightly, but it was still burning hot. She said softly, "Hurry up. Dinner will be ready soon."
She ran out of the room after saying that.
When Ruan Danchen went downstairs, Qi Youxuan had already changed his clothes. He was holding a vocabulary card on the sofa and reviewing the content he learned that day. However, his big black eyes kept drifting to the stairs. When he saw Ruan Danchen coming down, he quickly turned his gaze away. His face was red.
Ruan Danchen smiled and went to the kitchen. Qi Chenglin came down when the dinner was almost ready.
Ruan Danchen brought the soup out and saw Qi Chenglin was about to sit down. Her gaze fell on Qi Chenglin's hand.
It would have been fine if they didn't know, but now that they knew what he had done, they couldn't look him in the eye.
Even though she knew that all men would use that method to solve their problems, when she looked at Qi Chenglin's handsome face, it was impossible for her to link him to that kind of thing. She felt that something was not right. That was not something a man with such an elegant temperament would do.
But involuntarily, the image of him solving it by himself would appear in her mind. It was as if she was possessed and could not get rid of it.
Qi Chenglin smirked. He knew what she was thinking and raised an eyebrow at her.
Ruan Danchen blushed and averted her gaze. 'How shameless of him!'
She lowered her head and sat down. Qi Chenglin could see that her ears were red. They were hot, like red-hot iron.
He suddenly leaned over and secretly held her hand under the table with his right hand. He squeezed it and whispered in her ear, "I used this hand to settle it just now."
Ruan Danchen shuddered. She could feel that his hand was burning hot. Suddenly, he pulled her hand toward him.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly this time. Seeing that they were about to touch, she quickly retracted her hand. "Eat!"
Qi Chenglin smiled and did not tease her anymore.
Ruan Danchen felt that this man was very intentional. He held the chopsticks in his right hand and waved them in front of her eyes. Every time she saw his elegant hand, she could not help but have dirty thoughts. She could not control herself.
It made her absent-minded throughout the meal. Her face was red all the time.
Qi Youxuan finally could not help but ask, "Aunt Ruan, are you not feeling well?"
He naturally called her 'mom' this afternoon, but he felt embarrassed to call her that again, so he went back to how he used to call her.
Ruan Danchen did not mind. Knowing that the child actually saw her as his mother was enough. This matter could not be rushed. Moreover, Qi Youxuan did not know that she was his biological mother. Once she married Qi Chenglin, he would naturally change the way he addressed her.
"No, I'm fine." Ruan Danchen was afraid that the child would be worried, so she shook her head.
"Then why is your face so red?" Qi Youxuan asked.
"Maybe it's because of the smoke in the kitchen just now," Ruan Danchen explained softly.
Qi Youxuan did not suspect anything and did not ask further.
After the meal, Qi Chenglin sent Qi Youxuan back to his room to do his homework. Aunt Zheng cut some fruits for the child.
There was not much homework, so the child finished it quickly. He went to the treadmill and watched cartoons while jogging. After that, he took a shower and got ready for bed.
Ever since Qi Youxuan exercised at home at night, he was so tired that he fell asleep the moment he hit the bed. He did not ask Ruan Danchen to read him bedtime stories anymore.
However, Ruan Danchen would still visit him every night. She would tuck him in and say goodnight to him.
When she returned to the bedroom, Qi Chenglin was not there. He was working in the study, so Ruan Danchen took the time to take a bath.
She was comfortably soaking in the bathtub while watching a variety show. Suddenly, the bathroom door opened, and the cold air from outside rushed in.
"Why did you come in?" Ruan Danchen said softly. She was very weak. Her body trembled slightly in the water. Her exposed shoulders were red, and she was nervous and excited at the same time.
"It's night." Qi Chenglin said while unbuckling his belt slowly. "You kept soaking in here and didn't want to come out, so I had no choice but to come in."
She could only ask softly, "Are you coming in?"
Qi Chenglin raised one of his eyebrows. He said in a roguish tone, "Of course, I'm coming in."
Ruan Danchen understood immediately. She could not do anything to this man.
Qi Chenglin looked at Ruan Danchen's bashful yet submissive expression. Unable to control himself, he stepped into the bathtub with his long legs and sat behind Ruan Danchen. Then, he pulled her into his embrace. His long and slender fingers probed downwards, and his thin and hot lips landed on her scalded shoulder.
"Qi Chenglin!" Ruan Danchen cried out in surprise. She did not expect him to bring her in so suddenly after testing her and lifting her up slightly. She was not prepared at all, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Qi Chenglin hugged her tighter. He did not want to let go. His every action showed his love for her.
Ruan Danchen lay in Qi Chenglin's arms in a daze. Although he had wiped her clean with a towel when he carried her out of the bathtub, she did not feel cold when she was wrapped in his arms even though her body was burning hot.
Now that it was quiet, her shoulders felt cold. She could not help but snuggle into his arms.
Qi Chenglin looked at her involuntary action and smiled warmly. He could not help but kiss her. He kissed her hair, to the base of her ears, to her earlobes, to the corner of her mouth, and finally, from her lips to between her eyebrows.
He was reluctant to part with her. He kissed her lips again before getting up.
Ruan Danchen frowned slightly. She felt cold when there was just a little space between them. She could not help but hug Qi Chenglin tightly. She said coquettishly, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to make a call. I'll be back soon." Qi Chenglin pinched her gently and comforted her as if he was coaxing a child. He pecked her lips lightly.
Ruan Danchen frowned. She felt around for the blanket and wrapped herself tightly before letting Qi Chenglin leave.
Qi Chenglin laughed. He could not help but pinch her cheeks when he got up. Then, he left the bedroom.
A few minutes later, Qi Chenglin came back. Ruan Danchen was so tired that she was in a daze. She felt his long arms pulling her into his embrace and hugging her tightly.
She felt relieved. She snuggled into his embrace and found a comfortable position. Then, she fell asleep without opening her eyes.
The next morning, Ruan Danchen's alarm had not gone off yet, but she was already half-asleep.
Although she did not have to go to work recently, she still woke up early to prepare breakfast for the father and son and send them out.
She was still in a daze. She did not want to wake up. After being tormented by Qi Chenglin last night, she had no energy left. He took advantage of the fact that she did not have to go to work and had no more worries. That was why he was tormenting her with all his might.
Therefore, even though she knew that it was almost time, she still did not want to open her eyes. She waited for the alarm on her phone to ring.
Ruan Danchen was still in a daze, but she was still conscious. She felt her left hand being lifted, and then something cold was put on her middle finger.
Ruan Danchen woke up immediately. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was a ring on her left middle finger. The design was simple. It was a silvery-white ring about two to three millimeters wide. There was a small diamond embedded on the ring. It was very low-key and not eye-catching.
The diamond was flush with the ring and did not protrude.
Ruan Danchen shifted her gaze to her fingertip. Qi Chenglin's elegant fingers were holding her hand. She noticed that there was a ring on his middle finger too. It was the same design as hers, but it lacked the small diamond.
"You're awake?" He had just woken up. His voice was low and husky with a hint of laziness.
He was lying on his side with his right hand supporting his face. He was looking at her with a smile.
"This is …" Ruan Danchen blinked. She was still not fully awake. Her mind was a little muddled.
"It's a couple's ring. I ordered it a while ago. I asked someone to get it this morning," Qi Chenglin said gently.
"Why did you suddenly want to wear this?" Ruan Danchen asked in surprise. Qi Chenglin did not look like someone who would do such a thing.
"Although you're working under my watch, you still have to be careful of people with bad eyesight." Qi Chenglin narrowed his eyes. He had another idea.
