Duan Jinchi thought Song Yinxi would be shy, would turn her head away, would bury herself under the covers.
He never expected her to not even blink, afraid of missing a single detail.
Does she love him that much!
He said he was her husband, and she believed him.
Since she believed him, if he didn’t let her see, wouldn’t that make him seem utterly inhuman.
Bold enough to impersonate her husband, but not bold enough to take off his clothes.
For a man, taking off clothes is nothing.
If men could also take nude loans, nude loan companies would have probably gone bankrupt long ago.
Duan Jinchi’s movements were as slow as if set to 0.5x speed.
“Husband, are you deliberately torturing me?” Song Yinxi pouted, “Too slow, I can’t wait any longer…”
Before she finished speaking, she flipped over and straddled Duan Jinchi, “Move your hands, I’ll do it—”
Duan Jinchi blankly spread his hands open.
Song Yinxi gave a strong tug.
Give it here, fake husband’s abs!
Oh
Song Yinxi directly reached out to touch them, “Husband, as the saying goes, couples shouldn’t hold grudges overnight. If we argue in the future, you can seduce me…”
“Se-seduce?” Duan Jinchi slowly opened his mouth, “Wife, you, you wouldn’t kick me under the bed then, would you?”
“Of course not…”
If they really argued, she definitely wouldn’t let him into the room!
“Mmm~”
Duan Jinchi couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.
Both of them froze.
Duan Jinchi’s ears burned. It was his first time having a woman sit on his lap, his first time having his abs touched. It was a physiological reaction; he really wasn’t interested in Song Yinxi!!
“Wife…”
Song Yinxi looked at him with a mischievous glint, “You like it when I touch you~”
“I don’t like it!”
“I’ll give you one more chance to answer.”
“I like it, I love it when my wife touches me the most.” Duan Jinchi changed his tune, a roguish smile appearing on his face, “And I love it when my wife kisses me too!”
Duan Jinchi had just come out of the shower, clean all over, with a faint scent of shower gel.
He casually held Song Yinxi’s wrist, letting it wander over his body, “As promised, I’ll make it up to you tonight. Wife, come on, ravage me as much as you want~”
Easy to say, but if she really kissed him, he’d probably dodge faster than a rabbit.
But…
Song Yinxi was the type who loved a challenge.
She wanted to see what excuse Duan Jinchi could come up with to avoid it.
Under the warm orange glow of the bedside lamp, Song Yinxi slowly leaned closer to Duan Jinchi, her gaze fixed on his lips.
Oh my god!
This is my first kiss!
First kiss!
Was her first kiss really going to be given to her arch-rival Duan Jinchi tonight?
Quick, refuse!
Push me away!
Duan Jinchi, push me away—
He didn’t push her away. Instead, the hand holding her wrist tightened slightly, gripping her more firmly.
The closer she got, the more she could feel his scorching breath; his body was hot like a volcano about to erupt.
Song Yinxi closed her eyes, steeled her heart, and pressed forward. Their lips touched, soft against soft.
Ahhhhh—
She had bet that Duan Jinchi would push her away!
He actually didn’t push her away???
Both of them were stunned.
Folks, who would understand!
What decent person would secretly make out with their arch-rival at home!
Duan Jinchi’s brain short-circuited. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to push her away; he couldn’t push her away. If he pushed Song Yinxi away again, she would definitely become suspicious.
Their lips pressed together, neither moving.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Duan Jinchi’s lips twitched slightly, and just then, Song Yinxi’s phone rang.
Song Yinxi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, immediately climbed off Duan Jinchi, and answered the phone.
She didn’t even dare to look at Duan Jinchi. “Dad!”
Dad???
Duan Jinchi silently pulled up the blanket to cover himself, but his ears perked up discreetly.
“Sweetheart, your grandparents and I are at the airport, about to head back. We brought you gifts!” came the voice of her father Song Jingfu from the other end of the phone.
“Thank you, Dad!”
“By the way, you’re busy with work, no need to pick us up from the airport.”
“Mhmm!”
“Go to bed early tonight. Girls need their beauty sleep, understand? I won’t disturb you anymore! Hanging up now.”
Song Jingfu hung up promptly.
“Are you free tomorrow? How about you go pick up Dad and the others from the airport!” Song Yinxi turned her head.
Duan Jinchi still had that dazed look in his eyes. Hearing this, he felt a surge of excitement. “Uncle is returning tomorrow…”
“Uncle?” Song Yinxi raised her voice. “Aren’t we married? Why are you calling my dad ‘Uncle’?”
Hmph!
Let’s see how you explain this!!!
“Because we haven’t had our wedding ceremony yet, haven’t served tea to our parents, and haven’t received the name-changing red envelopes.” Duan Jinchi’s mind was working remarkably fast now. “Wife, for the sake of our name-changing red envelopes, we can’t change how we address them so easily!”Pretty clever, as expected of Duan Jinchi.”
“Right! You’re absolutely right, husband!”
Song Yinxi nodded, her gaze unconsciously fixed on his lips.
Did we really kiss just now??
Seemed pretty soft, and moist too.
Duan Jinchi was also watching Song Yinxi. What’s with that look in my wife’s eyes?
Wanting more.
She still wants to keep kissing!
First kiss!
His first kiss…
But…
It was just lips touching, that doesn’t count as a first kiss, right? At minimum it should involve tongues to qualify as a real kiss…
If my wife wants to continue so badly, it’s not like I can’t make some sacrifices.
Duan Jinchi propped his arm behind her and leaned closer. “Wife, let’s continue…”
Continue my foot!!
“I’m a bit sleepy, let’s continue next time…”
Song Yinxi fell back onto the bed, turning her back to him.
Duan Jinchi lowered his eyelids and, where Song Yinxi couldn’t see, secretly touched his lips, the corners of his mouth and eyes simultaneously curving upward.
Sigh!
That phone call from Uncle Song really came at the worst time!
Maybe Song Yinxi would have even opened her mouth…
After turning off the light, Duan Jinchi lay down beside Song Yinxi.
And then…
Couldn’t sleep.
Ahhh!
When he was little, his father would be out socializing for work, and he’d fall asleep in his parents’ bed next to his mother, only to wake up in his own room.
At first he didn’t understand, but later he figured it out.
He was the third wheel between his parents!
So it had been a very, very long time since he’d shared a bed with anyone.
And this was with his arch-rival!!
A fragrant, soft arch-rival!
The blankets were scented with Song Yinxi’s presence.
Duan Jinchi closed his eyes, trying hard to fall asleep, and eventually drifted off unknowingly.
But…
He had a dream.
The spring kind of dream.
The person kissing him in the dream…
Was actually Song Yinxi!!!
After kissing, she slapped him across the face. “Duan Jinchi! Actually, I was just playing with you! Who told you to bully me before, try to buy my family’s company, and drive me out? I was deliberately toying with your feelings!! You fell for it just as expected…”
In the dream, Song Yinxi laughed arrogantly and glaringly.
It scared Duan Jinchi awake with a start.
“Ahhh—”
He…
He…
Why is Song Yinxi in his arms!
And on his leg is… Song Yinxi’s leg?
On his waist was… Song Yinxi’s hand?!
Oh my god…
Song Yinxi was woken by his voice, her delicate brows slightly furrowing as she slowly opened her eyes.
She had actually forgotten about her poor sleeping habits—waking up in her fake husband’s arms, pressed so close against him.
But she couldn’t panic.
She was currently “suffering from amnesia” and firmly believed in their “marital relationship.”
So she could only ask in her sleepy, languid voice: “Husband, what are you shouting about so early in the morning?”
Duan Jinchi had also momentarily forgotten they were “married,” which was why he had made such a fuss.
“I… I…”
