"Of course, if you made it, I would definitely drink every last drop." Pei Yicheng had just finished a meal, but due to work, he had only grabbed a bite and hadn’t eaten his fill, now, the warm chicken soup was filling up his not-quite-satisfied stomach to the brim.
Pei Yicheng indeed drank the chicken soup with the chicken meat, not leaving a single drop behind.
Pei Yicheng let out a full burp, feeling a bit stuffed, but the taste of the chicken soup lingered, reminding him that it was personally made by Nianhua.
"When I have time again, I’ll make it for you." Xu Nianhua said, walking to the door and closing it.
"Nianhua, what are you..." Pei Yicheng looked at her cautious demeanor, worried about being discovered by others, and teased deliberately, "Doing this in broad daylight, isn’t it inappropriate?"
Xu Nianhua’s face instantly flushed red as she glared at him and said, "What are you talking about? I just wanted to check on your wound."
As she spoke, Xu Nianhua was about to lift up his white shirt and the undershirt beneath to check his wound.
"What nonsense am I talking?"
Pei Yicheng grabbed her hand, and with a gentle tug on her wrist, Xu Nianhua found herself sitting on his lap.
"Brother Cheng, this is the office. Anyone could come in at any time." Xu Nianhua looked over at the closed door, her face flushed.
"Didn’t you lock the door?" Pei Yicheng held her tightly in his arms, encircling her entire body with his arms, inhaling the light fragrance that emanated from her.
Xu Nianhua couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time: she locked the door to check his wound!
"Brother Cheng, what if, what if someone comes in..." Xu Nianhua sat on his lap, feeling his body heat through the thin clothing, his breath wrapping around her, making her restless.
"Stay still, just for a moment, just a little while." Pei Yicheng’s chin rested on her shoulder, his voice growing slightly hoarse.
Xu Nianhua immediately froze, not daring to move. She might not have eaten ’pork’ before, but she had seen pigs run.
Xu Nianhua forced herself not to overthink and looked down at the design sketches on the table, becoming engrossed in them. Tianhua Department Store—it was a renowned shopping center in Ningbei!
Unfortunately, in her past life, she never had the chance to visit, but she heard from others that if one went to Ningbei without shopping at Tianhua Mall, it was like not going at all.
A breeze blew gently, and Pei Yicheng slowly calmed the turmoil inside him. Turning his head, his nose could touch her tender cheek. Looking against the light, he could even see the cute, fine fuzz on her face clearly. Seeing her staring intently at the drawings, he playfully nipped her.
Xu Nianhua exclaimed in surprise. She was focusing intently when suddenly, her earlobe heated up. She quickly turned her head only to realize that they were so close, their noses aligned, their breaths intertwining. Her heart trembled, and she felt as if she had turned to stone.
Pei Yicheng’s gaze fell on her slightly parted lips, leaning in closer...
Despite the gentle breeze, it couldn’t dispel the flush on Xu Nianhua’s face or the palpitations deep in her heart.
"Nianhua, come take a look, how do you find my design of Tianhua Department Store?" Pei Yicheng, fearing he might scare her away, clutched at the beauty in his arms, even though he considered himself to have great self-control, couldn’t resist.
He took the opportunity to divert her attention, saying, "Do you think my design will be approved by everyone?"
