Curious, she heard footsteps behind her.
Turning her head, she saw Zhou Yueshen.
He placed the food he was holding on the table, his fingers rough yet long and veined.
"Eat something."
Seemingly hot, Zhou Yueshen took off his formal military jacket, neatly folded it, and placed it on the bed.
Underneath, he wore a shirt with the collar undone, exposing a bit of his chest. His brows and eyes were stern.
He walked towards her, sleeves rolled up to his arms, and looked at her.
Si Nian was wearing a red cheongsam with pearl hair ornaments. Her delicate features were stunningly beautiful as she sat there.
In the next moment, the man approached, bent down, and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close. Si Nian was slightly taken aback. Zhou Yueshen held her waist, making her sit on his lap, and looked down at her profile.
"What's wrong?"
Her back pressed against his broad chest.
Si Nian's heart raced. She quickly pointed to the locked drawer.
"I just found this locked drawer. Are your things inside?"
Zhou Yueshen glanced at where she was pointing, his eyes flickering. His palm gently pressed against her soft waist. "Yes, it's mine. I use it to store old things."
He pointed to the medals on his uniform. "These."
Si Nian said, "I see. No wonder I never saw these at home before."
Zhou Yueshen's hand held her waist. The weather was hot, and his hand was warm.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Si Nian asked, blushing under his gaze.
Zhou Yueshen held her, murmuring an "Mm," "I brought you something to eat."
"Then you should go back down. I noticed some important guests arrived. Is it okay for you to be up here?"
Si Nian wasn't familiar with the customs here, but she remembered that at some weddings she attended before, some brides went the whole day without eating.
She didn't quite understand.
But Zhou Yueshen was still concerned about bringing her food.
Si Nian wasn't very hungry; she had just had some soup brought by Xiao Laoda.
Zhou Yueshen remained silent for a moment.
Si Nian continued, "I bet the Si family saw you, right? They're opportunistic. Now that they've seen you dressed like this and know you're acquainted with Director Li, they'll definitely change their attitude. Just ignore them and go back down."
Zhou Yueshen acknowledged her words but didn't move.
Si Nian: "..."
He pulled the curtains, and the room instantly dimmed.
Si Nian's heart skipped a beat. Almost simultaneously, the man's fingers lifted her chin, and he leaned down, biting her lips.
Si Nian was still sitting in his lap. This position was a bit awkward, yet also intimate.
Her waist was stretched long and slender.
The man's hand tightened around her slim waist.
His kiss was deep, leaving Si Nian with no ability to resist. After a while, her neck felt sore.
