When Yan arrived home, it was just seven o’clock.
The housekeeper had just finished cooking and had left from No.1 Courtyard.
Shi Lan looked at Yan as he took off his suit jacket, revealing a hint of his collarbone due to his movements and the skin on his chest, slightly visible and alluring, which made the young mistress’s ears burn and her legs go weak.
Thinking back on the shameless past three days...
Shi Lan coughed lightly, forcibly shifting her gaze, "You just mentioned in WeChat, what happened with the people at the company?"
Yan Shixiu sat beside her and pulled her onto his lap. Then, he noticed the mottled marks on her body, light and dark, incredibly striking, "Are you sure you want to know?"
Fearing she couldn’t control herself, Shi Lan struggled out of Yan’s arms, "Let’s eat first."
Yan observed the young mistress with his narrow eyes, then saw her flushed ear tips. Thinking about how her gaze had flickered just now, Yan Shixiu chuckled softly, pulled her back into his embrace, and said, "Shy?"
The young mistress frowned, unwilling to admit it, and at that moment, Yan Shixiu’s kiss landed on her shoulder, continuing, "I now understand what ’once you’ve tasted it, you know the flavor’ means. Wife, let’s not have kids."
Hearing this, Shi Lan was about to argue, but Yan had already brought his lips to the young mistress’s ear and said, "I’m afraid I can’t stand not touching you for ten months."
It wasn’t just Yan, of course.
After those three days, the two of them seemed to have grown onto each other. The more they entwined, the more they wanted to cling.
"And now, eating seems to have become less important." No sooner had he spoken than Yan picked her up and headed towards the upstairs bedroom, and the young mistress did not object.
The next time she woke up, it was late at night, Shi Lan, supporting her waist, cursed Yan dog, "If I don’t get pregnant after all this, Yan, you might as well commit seppuku."
Yan Shixiu wrapped her into his embrace and kissed her forehead, "I will learn how to be a good father."
Hearing the word ’father,’ the young mistress found it magical. But the thought of a little being growing in her belly, sharing her and Yan Shixiu’s blood, she couldn’t suppress her inner excitement.
"Will it be very difficult?" Shi Lan asked softly.
Yan, knowing what she was referring to, answered, "No matter how hard, I’ll be by your side."
The young mistress had always been mentally preparing herself, but was ultimately still scared. Yet, what she gathered more of was all the courage in her body, because this would be the blood of her and Yan Shixiu.
Comforted, Shi Lan finally slept peacefully. At that time, Yan Shixiu, holding her, picked up his phone and started sending messages.
@YanShixiu: "Don’t be afraid, I’m here. @An Lan."
That late night, the usually calm entertainment circle, because of Yan Shixiu’s message, suddenly boiled over.
The An Lan who had beaten all comers, ’see a god, slay a god; see a ghost, tear a ghost’?
@DiorIsACat: "My God, isn’t this too perfect to ship? I can already imagine the daily fierce An Lan going whimper in Yan’s arms."
@KKChocolate: "Damn, killing me with sweetness late at night, this is too gentle, ooooh!"
@ZuBajie: "Xiu Lan couple are the best! Too sweet, I’m getting sugary kidney disease here!"
@LittleCeramicPerson1988: "I can totally imagine how tenderly Yan was saying that, holding his loved one. Ah... Goosebumps, get down!"
The young mistress had no idea about this drama after she fell asleep.
Only when she picked up her phone the next morning did she see many messages.
Dr. Sun: "Boss, this display of affection is too much! [screenshot.jpg]"
Tang Ze: "I just found out you guys were fighting, and now you’re already made up?" Thıs content belongs to NoveI(F)ire.net
Shi Lan opened the screenshot sent by Sun Ling and then went online to check Yan Shixiu’s Weibo.
It was only six words, but they grounded her.
@An Lan: "With you here, I’m not afraid."
The comments below went wild. An Lan, known for her toughness, showing such a tender, vulnerable side? It couldn’t be real!
Besides, if the two of them were together every day, why display their affection online?
What’s wrong with being single anyway?
Although netizens didn’t know what exactly the two were afraid of, An Lan’s display of warmth was such that it might vanish from the human world from then on. Consequently, fans began taking screenshots to preserve the moment as a keepsake.
Ah! So, my beloved artist can speak gently too!
Satisfied, Mr. Yan, far away in his office, saw the young lady’s reply.
The couple’s relationship seemed to have entered a new phase, one that appeared even more inseparable.
While they were sweet and inseparable, Tang Ze was having people investigate Yu Wei’s recent unusual behavior, planning to deal decisively with Shi Hongyu.
Tang Ze’s people followed Yu Wei and discovered she last disappeared at the entrance of a small talent agency.
Upon receiving the message, Tang Ze realized this was the same small workshop where Yu Wei had taken him for an interview before?
Afterward, Tang Ze continued the surveillance for several days and confirmed that Yu Wei was indeed working at this small workshop. But that shouldn’t be right, should it?
It wasn’t until Tang Ze’s people captured something and sent it to him that he finally understood.
Just as he and Shi Hongyu had suspected, Yu Wei had indeed gotten involved with a man. However, he found it fascinating how she had managed to do that. Hadn’t they parted on bad terms that day at the small workshop?
When Tang Ze received the photos, he immediately sent them back to Peak for a background check.
Half a day later, Tang Ze got the results.
The man was the publicity director of the small workshop, twenty-six years old, married for four years, and had a two-year-old daughter.
Based on the man’s resume alone, he was nothing special, until Tang Ze saw that he and Yu Wei had been classmates.
Afterward, Tang Ze sent the information to Shi Hongyu.
The two men looked at it for a long while, both silent.
"For her own sake, she’s completely capable of becoming the other woman. She’s never seen it as a moral issue; her mind is only focused on herself," Shi Hongyu said somewhat helplessly, "What’s your plan now?"
Tang Ze looked at Shi Hongyu, chuckled, and said, "Don’t think she’s avoiding me now. When I’m of use, she’ll still come to leech off me, so I plan to just watch how things unfold."
"Not going to stop her?"
"Why should I stop her? She’s not a child. Whatever she does, she should face the consequences. This time, I won’t be merciful anymore."
Yu Wei’s reunion with her classmate was indeed accidental. However, the fact that they swiftly embarked on a heated affair was also true.
The man had promised Yu Wei a position in his company, so now they were intensely involved. Whenever there was time, they would go out and rent a room.
Tang Ze understood that Yu Wei had once again shifted her control to another person, but that didn’t mean he could break free.
Previously he had only evaded, but this time, he was determined to personally end this grudge. He didn’t want to wait anymore!
