174 Living Apart?
Yao Zizhou knew that Ming Liuyi said she was going to the apartment near Yao Corporation. Previously, when Yao Zizhou worked late into the night, he would occasionally go there to rest.
As if surprised by his wife’s suggestion, Yao Zizhou looked at the request on Ming Liuyi’s face, afraid to miss something. He hesitated for a moment and said, “The apartment isn’t suitable for my rehabilitation, maybe—”
Without waiting for Yao Zizhou to speak, Ming Liuyi interrupted him, saying, “You stay here first. I’ll move there for a few days. I’ll come back as soon as I’m done.”
Yao Zizhou’s face immediately darkened, his eyes drooped, and he said in an unfriendly tone, “If I didn’t hear wrongly, Madam Yao wants to live apart?”
Ming Liuyi thought for a moment and said, “How could we be living apart? At most, I’ll be on a business trip!”
Yao Zizhou gritted his teeth and looked at Ming Liuyi. He said, “Amazing. you’ve even learned the word ‘business trip’!”
Ming Liuyi’s expression immediately became a little unhappy. She said, “I’m doing this for my career. Be good. It’s only for a few days. I don’t want to be separated from you, either.” As she spoke, Ming Liuyi reached out her hand and patted Yao Zizhou’s head like she was petting a large dog.
Yao Zizhou felt a bit better at hearing her words. He said, “Sure, but you have to reply me immediately whenever I text you.”
Ming Liuyi smiled and kissed Yao Zizhou. She said, “Of course, I’ll reply at once.”
Yao Zizhou took the opportunity to hug Ming Liuyi, letting her sit on his lap. Then, gently kissing her lips, he said, “Then how many days’ worth of ‘recharging’ can you give me in advance?”
Ming Liuyi felt a bit cold at her waist; Yao Zizhou’s hand had already reached into her clothes. She immediately understood what he meant, and stuttered, “Uh, th-three days?”
Yao Zizhou revealed a smile and said, “Sure, I won’t refund you if there’s too much. If there’s too little, I’ll have to make up for it.”
The desire in Yao Zizhou’s eyes gradually grew, and he lowered his head to kiss her. He held the back of Ming Liuyi’s head with one hand, making her unable to break free.
Not long after, Ming Liuyi’s face turned red, and her eyes glazed over. She clutched at Yao Zizhou’s clothes without realizing it.
In the long night, the moon shyly blocked its eyes.
…
The next day, Ming Liuyi initially planned to get up early, but the three rounds from last night made it difficult. Yao Zizhou went on for so long, even late into the night, and only stopped when Ming Liuyi could not take it anymore.
Therefore, it was really no surprise that she woke up late.
Neither of them had ever been like this before. It was like opening the door to a new world, and they soon felt the joy of this kind of thing. Ming Liuyi got a taste of this bliss and could not argue with Yao Zizhou.
She got out of bed, feeling as though her body had been hollowed out. She could not help but curse to herself.
After washing up, Ming Liuyi went downstairs to eat. When she passed by the study, she saw that Yao Zizhou was busy working, looking absolutely radiant. She did not disturb him and went straight down to fill her stomach. Then, she immediately went back upstairs to pack the things she had prepared.
Ming Liuyi had not gone to her old room much recently, but the room was filled with things that she liked. Ming Liuyi found a suitcase that she had bought a long time ago but had never had the chance to use. Then, she walked around the room and put all the things she needed into the luggage. She packed the plush toys, incense, and her favorite bedding. Finally, she returned to the master bedroom and packed a few clothes that she needed.
After checking one last time, Ming Liuyi felt that she had not forgotten anything and nodded in satisfaction.
Yao Zizhou finished his meeting and returned to his bedroom. He saw Ming Liuyi packing her luggage and preparing to leave. He reached out his arms and said, “Dear, you seem to have left behind something very important.”
“Of course, I didn’t forget,” Ming Liuyi said. “You’re going to see me off there, aren’t you?”
Xiao Fan said worriedly, “Madam, I think it’s better if I go with you. I can take care of you. If you’re alone, we’ll all be worried.”
Ming Liuyi smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll be back in a few days. I won’t go hungry!”
The chauffeur sent the couple to the apartment building, and Ming Liuyi told him to wait there, as he still had to send Yao Zizhou back later.
The elevator soon reached the top floor, and Ming Liuyi opened the door with her key. The entire house was mainly decorated in the theme of black, white and gray, with a modern yet simple design. Just like Yao Zizhou, who did his business cleanly.
Ming Liuyi looked around and found that, although Yao Zizhou had not been here for a long time, the room was still very clean. Someone must have come to clean it regularly.
This was a duplex apartment. The first floor was very large, with the study was also downstairs. The upper floor had only one bedroom.
