CHAPTER 791
Li Jing eagerly anticipated the soothing embrace of a hot, relaxing bath. She undressed, relishing the thought of the sweet moments to come. However, Ye Cheng interrupted her plans with a proposition.
"I will order some food while you bathe," he offered.
Confused, Li Jing paused, her half-removed top suspended in the air. "Didn't you say you would massage me?" she inquired.
Ye Cheng explained, his voice tinged with concern. "Yes, but you didn't have a proper meal at the club. I want to ensure that your body is healthy enough to conceive our child."
Slightly disappointed, Li Jing nodded, acknowledging her exhaustion. "Okay."
"Good baby," he murmured, leaving her alone in the bathroom. He placed her order, and when Li Jing finished bathing, she slipped into a robe and found a delicious dinner waiting for her in the room.
As she savored her meal, Li Jing turned around to find Ye Cheng still engrossed in work on his computer. Curiosity tugged at her. "What are you doing? What has you so disturbed?" she inquired.
Ye Cheng looked up from his desk, his charming smile conveying that he wouldn't offer further explanation. "Just finishing this report before bedtime," he replied.
Accepting his response, albeit reluctantly, Li Jing offered her help, eager to be involved. "Can I assist you?"
"No need. Go ahead and relax," he reassured her.
She frowned at being told off. A huge part of her was already looking forward to this—
a continuation of where they left off.
Just the thought had her body tingled from excitement.
Then again, she was forbidden from causing trouble and she knew it even without him uttering the words.
With a hint of disappointment, Li Jing made her way to the bed, curling herself onto it. "Goodnight, honey," she whispered.
"Goodnight," he responded, his voice filled with tenderness.
Li Jing's heart swelled with affection as she watched him stretch, close his laptop, and turn off the light. The gentle rhythm of his breathing lulled her into a peaceful slumber.

The following morning, Li Jing awoke to find Ye Cheng already dressed and awake. Greeting her with a smile, he inquired, "Good morning! Did you sleep well?"
Beaming brightly, Li Jing replied, "Yes, very much, thank you!"
sweet lovemaking we would have all morning?"
The following morning, Li Jing awoke to find Ye Cheng already dressed and awake. Greeting her with a smile, he inquired, "Good morning! Did you sleep well?"
Beaming brightly, Li Jing replied, "Yes, very much, thank you!"
Ye Cheng's voice carried a husky note as he observed, "You look tired, though."
With a small grin, he explained, "I had a late night working on some reports."
Her brows furrowed, Li Jing questioned, "Did you finish them?"
Ye Cheng nodded, his lips curving upwards. "Yes."
Puzzled, she wondered why they had to go to work that day. "We can just stay here," she suggested.

Puzzled, she wondered why they had to go to work that day. "We can just stay here," she suggested.
Chuckling softly, Ye Cheng replied, "I know we're here to relax, but I have a few investors to meet with. I've also invited them to the Halloween party. We have a strict meeting today to finalize some work. It will only take two hours."
Shock and disbelief coursed through Li Jing. "Two hours!" she blurted out. "That's not just two hours... they're stealing you for 720 minutes!"
Understanding her concerns, Ye Cheng refuted, "I know it seems long, but these meetings will only take an hour or two at most. Besides, they were scheduled before we arrived. It's not my fault if we don't make full use of our time. Remember, this trip was meant for both of us to relax. If we want to truly enjoy ourselves, let me do what I must."
Deep in thought, Li Jing weighed her options. Just as she prepared to speak, Ye Cheng interjected playfully, "Besides, if I were to stay, are you prepared for the lovely dovey sweet lovemaking we would have all morning?"
A shiver ran down Li Jing's spine, her body responding to his words. Blushing, she nodded slowly, biting her lip shyly.
Knowing her husband well, Li Jing realized that if she gave in to his seductive proposition, he would exhaust her completely, and they would miss out on the best part of the day.
"Fine, you can go. Just two hours, maximum," she relented.
"Good girl!" he exclaimed with a wide grin. "I owe my baby a good one," he added, winking mischievously.
Ye Cheng moved closer, pressing a kiss to her lips before grabbing his bag and phone, then exited the room.
His loyal personal assistant awaited him outside, bowing respectfully as he took the bag.
"Good morning, Mr. Ye," the assistant greeted warmly. "I apologize for not seeing you last night, sir."
Ye Cheng shook the man's hand firmly. "No worries. I had fun anyway," he responded, his eyes gleaming with a secret.
Confused, the assistant remained silent as they walked away till they were outside the hotel and gotten into the car then drove off, leaving Li Jing to watch them disappear into the distance.
Breathing a sigh of relief, she knew she was finally alone again, free to indulge in more sleep, eating, and relaxation in their private sanctuary.
