Chapter 226: Chapter 179: The First Person I Saw After Returning to Beijing_3
Wen Shulin’s face flushed with color as she stroked Chen Cheng’s back, "I missed you too."
She let go of her hand, "Have you been tired these days?"
"It’s alright."
Chen Cheng sat down on the sofa, and Wen Shulin handed him a bottle of water, deliberately saying, "The acquisition agreement was signed 5 days ago, didn’t Mei Xiang tire you out in the remaining time?"
The corner of Chen Cheng’s mouth curved up into a smile, teasing, "You’d be surprised, Mei Xiang really didn’t tire me out at all."
"Stop joking with me."
Wen Shulin lightly punched Chen Cheng and stood up, "I’ll go run a bath for you, soak and relieve some fatigue."
"Okay." Chen Cheng stretched lazily.
...
In the bathroom, the warm water enveloped Chen Cheng’s body as he leaned on a towel folded into a pillow by the bathtub’s edge, staring at the ceiling, spacing out.
Ding!
Mei Xiang: Brother Cheng, have you arrived?
Chen Cheng looked at the WeChat message on his phone, replied: "I have."
"I want to see you."
"I’m taking a bath." frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Giggle, did you miss me?"
Chen Cheng: "I did."
Mei Xiang: "Then won’t you look at me?"
Chen Cheng shook his head smilingly and initiated a video call.
Squeak~
Mei Xiang appeared on the screen, still lying in the tatami where they had slept together these past few days.
"Brother Cheng, I’m not used to not having you beside me," Mei Xiang said hugging Chen Cheng’s pillow.
Chen Cheng: "I’m not used to not having you massage my back and legs either."
Knock knock knock.
Mei Xiang, making gestures on the screen, asked while laughing, "Can you feel it?"
"Foolish." Chen Cheng said with a smile.
Mei Xiang sat up, stretched her hand to caress Chen Cheng on video, her eyes full of affection, "Brother Cheng, you must come back soon, I’ll keep waiting for you."
"Don’t worry."
Mei Xiang kissed towards the screen, "Then rest early, good night~"
Chen Cheng: "Good night."
After hanging up, Chen Cheng soaked for a while longer before getting up to rinse off and wrapped in a towel, he stepped out.
He looked towards Wen Shulin’s half-open bedroom door, thought for a moment, then turned back to the entryway and took his bag in as well.
Wen Shulin was sitting in front of the vanity, applying some night cream, "Are you done bathing?"
Chen Cheng lay down on the soft bed, "Still, a bed is more comfortable to sleep in!"
Wen Shulin chuckled, "What about the tatami, not good?"
Chen Cheng: "Really not too great, it’s uncomfortable."
"And you video calling her during your bath didn’t make you uncomfortable?" Wen Shulin asked with a smile.
Chen Cheng pretended to be nervous, "What, do you have cameras in your own house too?"
Wen Shulin: "Don’t even try, I heard everything."
"So you were eavesdropping on my bath!" Chen Cheng pulled her pouting face towards him, "Don’t be sneaky, just come in next time, I’m very generous."
"Then tell me, who is better, me or Mei Xiang?"
Chen Cheng stealthily took something out from his bag, handing it to Wen Shulin, "Neither are as good as this."
Wen Shulin looked at the share transfer agreement in front of her, "I knew you could do it."
Chen Cheng handed her the agreement, sitting up, "Mei Xiang is not easy to deal with, it took a lot to convince her stepmother to make this acquisition happen."
He looked at Wen Shulin, "When it’s time to transfer CGG to you, you better set a good price."
Wen Shulin shot Chen Cheng a playful glare, "Now all you have in your heart is Mei Xiang, only saying good things about her."
"What else can I do, I’m just speaking factually."
Wen Shulin hummed softly, "Who believes your nonsense." Yet a smile couldn’t be hidden on her face.
Chen Cheng lifted Wen Shulin’s chin, "If you don’t believe this mouth of mine, then what do you believe?"
Wen Shulin leaned into Chen Cheng’s embrace, "I believe in you."
Chen Cheng took the opportunity to loosen the tie on the nightgown.
"Don’t..."
She stopped Chen Cheng’s hand.
Chen Cheng looked puzzled, "What’s wrong? Are you really mad?"
Wen Shulin looked into his eyes, "You’re meeting Xiao Er tomorrow, don’t waste effort on me."
She continued, "You better rest well tonight, in case she notices something."
This was the first time Chen Cheng had heard such words from any of his women.
He hugged Wen Shulin again, "So we just sleep like this tonight?"
"Yes."
Wen Shulin lay in Chen Cheng’s arms, "Thank you for seeing me as soon as you got back."
"Where did that come from, you sent me eight hundred messages, how could I not come?" Chen Cheng said facetiously.
Wen Shulin flipped over, lifting her hair, and asked with a smile, "Did I really send eight hundred?"
"Why don’t you count them?"
Wen Shulin shyly turned her head away, "I won’t count."
"Then, let me try."
Chen Cheng stretched out his hand, touching the petal patterns on the nightgown, "One."
His voice was low, his fingers slowly moving to the next petal, "Two?"
"Three?"
Wen Shulin’s breathing became slightly more rapid, she caught Chen Cheng’s restless hand, "Stop messing around."
However, Chen Cheng didn’t stop, "Four, five..."
Wen Shulin held Chen Cheng’s cheeks, looking into those mischievous yet profound eyes, and lightly bit her lower lip, "How are you so seductive?"
Chen Cheng smirked, "So, did I hook you?"
Wen Shulin playfully punched his chest, "I’ve been hooked by you for a long time."
Chen Cheng hugged her tightly, whispering in her ear, "Then you won’t escape for the rest of your life."
Wen Shulin smiled contentedly, "I don’t want to escape. It’s good to be with you."
"Shall we sleep?"
"Yes."
They resettled themselves, Wen Shulin cradling Chen Cheng in her arms, gently stroking his hair.
"Have we got this the wrong way around?" Chen Cheng asked.
Wen Shulin smiled softly, "Do you not like it this way?"
The night deepened, and in Chen Cheng’s first night back in Beijing, he fell deeply asleep in the soft embrace of Wen Shulin.
