13 – Honey, Give Me a Kiss
Ye Zhuohuai’s eyes shimmered with surging heat, his heart pounding like a drum. Because of her calling him “Ah Huai,” the joy in his heart burst forth like fireworks.
He liked this nickname.
As for terms like “darling,” “hubby,” or “baby”—those overly sweet and clingy ones—they could unlock them slowly in the future.
“How is it?”
“I’ll reluctantly accept it.” The smile on Ye Zhuohuai’s lips couldn’t be contained.
“Since it’s so reluctant, I’ll think of something else.”
“You woman, can’t I even act a little tsundere? I like it! I really like it! Is that enough?” Ye Zhuohuai’s cheeks flushed slightly as he abruptly stood up.
Chi Mi remained seated. Ye Zhuohuai strode over to her, grabbed the back of her chair, and pulled her out.
Ye Zhuohuai leaned down, placing both hands on either side of her seat, trapping her between the chairback and his body. “Let me kiss you.”
Chi Mi was bewildered. Chi An was right.
Today, holding hands; tomorrow, kissing; the day after, the wedding night!
Not to mention, Ye Zhuohuai had been attracted to her looks from the start—he liked her face, her figure, and wanted to get to know her intimately.
He was too close. Their breaths mingled, and she could even smell the faint scent of his cologne.
Ye Zhuohuai was flirting!
Trying to charm her.
She found Ye Zhuohuai even more adorable.
“Did you brush your teeth after eating this morning?” Chi Mi didn’t want him to kiss her so quickly.
She had to use a hook, constantly reeling him in, making him unable to resist, itching with desire.
Only then could she keep him under control.
“I brushed my teeth right after waking up and showering. I’m clean as a whistle!” Ye Zhuohuai’s voice softened. “But I haven’t brushed since eating.”
Would he have to carry a toothbrush with him from now on?
Damn!
Even with a girlfriend, he couldn’t kiss her whenever he wanted.
Chi Mi was such a tease.
Teasing him until his heart trembled, completely hooked by her.
“Then it’s a no-go.” Chi Mi placed a finger on his lips. “If you want to kiss me in the future, please brush your teeth first.”
Ye Zhuohuai’s pupils widened in shock. Mi Mi’s hand was on his lips.
This was the same hand he had held for a few minutes last night—soft, fair, fragrant, and tender.
Just as Chi Mi was about to withdraw her hand, he took it into his mouth.
Chi Mi: “!!!”
How gross!
Didn’t he know how many germs were on hands?
Chi Mi pulled her hand away in disgust, his saliva still clinging to her finger. Her brows instantly furrowed.
So disgusting!
Ahhh!
Ye Zhuohuai!
Ye Zhuohuai watched her expression and knew he had made a mistake.
But he didn’t regret it.
He quickly took out a handkerchief. “Let me wipe it for you…”
Chi Mi snatched the handkerchief. “I’ll do it myself.”
“I don’t mind you,” Ye Zhuohuai muttered in a low, domineering tone.
Chi Mi kept wiping her finger. “So gross, so gross, Ye Zhuohuai! Hands are full of germs. Is your mouth any cleaner?”
“I’m clean,” Ye Zhuohuai retorted defiantly. “You’re clean too.”
In his eyes, his wife’s fingers were so fair and beautiful—utterly clean.
Seeing her intense reaction, Ye Zhuohuai grew more and more aggrieved, his head drooping.
Chi Mi finished wiping her hand.
Ye Zhuohuai’s head drew closer, his breath now falling on her face.
Chi Mi didn’t dare move, her body stiffening.
Ye Zhuohuai slowly leaned toward her neck, taking a deep breath of the faint fragrance on Chi Mi. He really wanted to kiss her.
This woman was too intoxicating, too mesmerizing!
His heart raced with restless desire. Feeling his hair lightly brush against her cheek, his breathing grew heavier, and he couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh. “Wife, if I can’t kiss your lips, can I at least kiss your cheek?””I’m wearing makeup.”
“I don’t mind.”
“It’s dirty.”
“It’s not dirty.”
Chi Mi felt that if she didn’t give Ye Zhuohuai a little reward today, he wouldn’t leave.
His posture was far too aggressive—the muffled groans, the scorching gaze, his hair brushing against her cheek, it was so ticklish.
Better to just let him kiss her once.
“Just once,” Chi Mi’s tone softened.
Ye Zhuohuai had bled a fortune today—20 billion!
And he’d help her discipline her brother in the future. A single kiss was what he deserved.
“Are you kissing me, or am I kissing you?” Chi Mi’s voice was soft and gentle.
“I’ll kiss you.” Ye Zhuohuai had long been unable to hold back. Hearing her sweet words, his heart was practically leaping out of his chest.
He leaned in, his thin lips pressing against her cheek.
It felt even better than he’d imagined—so soft.
Ye Zhuohuai’s hands, gripping the seat with restraint, tensed until the veins stood out. Did kissing without letting go still count as just once?
But beautiful moments are always fleeting.
Chi Mi turned her face away. “That’s enough.”
“You’re way too stingy with your own boyfriend.” Ye Zhuohuai hadn’t had his fill. He really wanted to grab Chi Mi by the nape and carry her home, keep her by his side day and night, have her bear his children.
“Exactly, I’m stingy with my boyfriends. So, Yang Siquan was my boyfriend for two years and never even held my hand. You? It hasn’t even been 24 hours, and you’ve already held my hand and kissed my cheek. Compared to him, I’m not being stingy with you, am I?” Chi Mi smiled, her expression soft and alluring.
Without comparison, there’s no sense of injury.
Ye Zhuohuai felt incredibly proud of himself.
“How can that dog Yang Siquan compare to me? He’s just a passerby in your life, while I’m your lifelong partner!” Ye Zhuohuai took a moment to calm his excitement. “Don’t mention him in front of me again.”
“Fine, I won’t mention him. If I do, I’ll just call him ‘that dog’ instead.” Chi Mi’s tone held a hint of indulgence.
Ye Zhuohuai was utterly enchanted. He swallowed hard. “I have something to take care of. I should go.”
“Mm.”
Just go already!
If he didn’t leave soon, she was afraid Ye Zhuohuai might lose control and pin her down on the conference table.
“Walk me out.”
“Of course.” Chi Mi stood up. “I never said I wouldn’t.”
Of course she’d see him off—she needed to watch him leave to feel at ease.
In the elevator, Ye Zhuohuai took off his suit jacket and casually draped it over his arm. “Even though the funding gap has been filled, you know the saying: ‘Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.’ Once our relationship is made public, those stalled projects and the ones wanting to terminate contracts likely won’t stop again.”
Chi Mi’s heart ached with a pang of pain. Ye Zhuohuai truly cared deeply about the Chi family’s affairs.
“You mean well, but with my brother’s lack of brains, if he messes up in the future, won’t that damage your reputation and that of Yeli Group?” Chi Mi said softly. “Ye Zhuohuai, you really don’t have to do this. You know why I approached you…”
“I know. That’s why you’ll pay the price for a lifetime. You deliberately provoked me, so you have to provoke me forever. Chi Mi, if you dare give up halfway…” Ye Zhuohuai let out a cold laugh. “I’ll break your legs, lock you in bed, and keep you bearing my children! A whole bunch of kids calling you ‘Mom,’ let’s see where you’ll run then.”
Chi Mi: “…”
Ye Zhuohuai, you really have that possessive, domineering CEO vibe.
Unease stirred in her heart. “That’s so creepy. I don’t like creepy guys. Ye Zhuohuai, act normal.”I hope Ye Zhuohuai isn’t the Seer.
“Ye Zhuohuai?”
“Ah Huai.” Chi Mi corrected herself. “You’re so hard to please.”
“Your man here has looks, money, power, and influence. It’s only right that I’m a bit hard to please.” Ye Zhuohuai’s gaze deepened as he whispered by her ear, “Chi Mi, your man here is so hard to please, yet in the future, I’ll be the one serving you. You should be secretly delighted.”
After saying this, Ye Zhuohuai walked out of the elevator.
Chi Mi stood inside the elevator, watching his carefree retreating figure as the doors slowly closed.
She pressed the floor button expressionlessly.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw Chi An.
