Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qi Chenglin smirked. His vocal cords were vibrating gently. Ruan Danchen rested her fingertips on the bulge on his neck—she found it oddly interesting. As he teased her, she did not realize that her clothes had all been removed.

His searing lips worked their way down her body. When Ruan Danchen could not hold herself back anymore, he abruptly started grinding.

Ruan Danchen’s entire body tingled. The feeling of electric pulsing through her body and straight to her brain was difficult to be put into words. She could not help but clutch onto him, sinking her nails into his back.

Luckily, her nails were not long.

Ruan Danchen was extremely bashful when she saw Qi Chenglin’s satisfied expression, so she buried her face against his neck.

Qi Chenglin looked down and reached for her lips again. He kissed her from the moist corner of her eyes to the corner.

Ruan Danchen unveiled her face for him submissively, letting his lips work on her face. She held on to him tight, closing her eyes to feel his presence. He brought her a kind of blissfulness she could not describe.

...

...

Ruan Danchen lied in Qi Chenglin’s embrace, wrapped in his arms. His long fingers danced on her back while his other hand stroked her long hair. He tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing her alluring reddened face.

Seeing her delicate cheeks tinted with a layer of red, Qi Chenglin was completely bewitched. He could not help but kiss her and touch her. He leaned in and kissed her forehead.

Ruan Danchen lied in his arms lazily. She shuffled around a little and laid comfortably in his embrace.

“Move to Prestige Residences today,” started Qi Chenglin, his voice coarse and intoxicating. There was still a hint of satisfaction from before. “The renovations are done and the odor is gone. We could’ve moved in long ago.”

“Okay,” Ruan Danchen murmured. She was a little anxious about moving in with him.

They had been living together here for a while, but it felt different to move into Prestige Residences together.

They cuddled on the bed for a long time. Eventually, Ruan Danchen had rested enough and got up to get dressed. As Qi Chenglin was also putting on his clothes, she saw the long lines of red scratches on his back. Although her nails were short and could not penetrate his skin, they still left a whole row of red marks running down his back. Ruan Danchen was utterly embarrassed.

She thought, ‘Was I really that wild just now?’

“What are you staring at?” Qi Chenglin had just worn his pants, his belt still unbuckled. His seductive abs and Adonis belt were displayed in front of Ruan Danchen’s eyes—she felt exceedingly privileged.

Ruan Danchen walked up to him shyly. She placed her slightly-cold fingertips on the red marks on his back. The way her fingers moved gave him so much pleasure.

“Does it hurt?” Ruan Danchen asked guiltily.

Only after she mentioned it did Qi Chenglin notice that it did hurt a little. At that moment, he recalled the way her nails dug into his back.

Nonetheless, he was in so much pleasure that he did not even notice.

He turned his back at the mirror and observed the red marks she left. With a smirk, he turned to Ruan Danchen and teased, “I never thought you’d be so wild.”

Ruan Danchen blushed intensely. It was all because he went in so hard, making her lose control.

“I didn’t do it on purpose. I won’t do it again,” Ruan Danchen muttered. She was humiliated.

“There’s no need. I like it when you scratch.” Qi Chenglin pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the lips. “It adds some sensations.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“...” Ruan Danchen glared at him suspiciously. Could it be that he had a kink for those kinds of things?

“Stop thinking nonsense.” Qi Chenglin could read her thoughts without hearing a word from her.

...

...

The two of them had dressed neatly. There was no time to wash Qi Youxuan clothes anymore so they brought them along to Prestige Residences to be washed there.

Ruan Danchen knew that she would be moving when the rental lease expired, so she already had enough boxes at home to pack away all her stuff. After packing her stuff into a few giant boxes, they carried it to the Qi Chenglin’s Mercedes, filling up the entire bonnet and the backseats.

Fortunately, they could move everything in one trip.

Ruan Danchen’s lease lasted a year—it was expiring in February next year—so there were still three months left. Thus, Qi Chenglin made a call to Jiang Yuan and had them advertise the room online to find a short-term tenant. Ruan Danchen could rent the house out at a lower price—she would not lose as much money that way.

Aunt Zheng had long moved back to Prestige Residences. The doorbell rang. She opened the door to be met with Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen standing at the door with two large boxes.

Ruan Danchen was a little shy, but Aunt Zheng greeted them both gleefully. “Ah, Sir, Miss Ruan, you’re finally back. I was getting quite lonely, staying in this big house by myself all these days.”

Aunt Zheng quickly invited them in. She wanted to help with the baggage but Qi Chenglin stopped her.

She glanced at the clock and realized it was about time she started preparing lunch, so she hurried to the kitchen.

Qi Chenglin carried the boxes into his room one by one. While the renovations went on, he regularly visited to observe the progress many times.

The style of the room was completely different.

Even so, the bed was still the same. However, the style and color of the bedsheet and blanket had changed—they were all in warm colors.

Even the wallpapers were in a warm color.

Additionally, a dressing table had been added to the room. As Qi Chenglin’s gaze fell on it, his lips curled up into a smile.

Ruan Danchen explained bashfully, “Before the renovations started, you already promised to let me move in, right? So I took the chance to buy a dressing table now to avoid having to do everything over again.”

“You thought everything through so thoroughly?” Qi Chenglin pulled her over and enveloped her in his arms. Seeing Ruan Danchen’s flushed face, he chuckled smugly.

Ruan Danchen was speechless. She poked him and declared, “I should hurry and unpack.”

Qi Chenglin let go of her, keeping the smirk on his face. He noticed that there were a few photos nailed onto the side of the dressing table. There was a photo of Qi Youxuan, a photo of him and Qi Youxuan, and a photo of the three of them together taken at the mall—there were six photos in total.

Qi Chenglin turned around to see that Ruan Danchen had already opened the boxes. She took out her skincare products, cosmetics etcetera and arranged them on the dressing table.

The initially empty table was filled up in a flash. After that, she proceeded to unpack her clothes.

She hung the clothes suitable for this season into the wardrobe and was going to move the rest into the cloakroom later.

Ruan Danchen unpacked speedily, nearly done in less than two hours. The only thing left was her undergarments that she was especially embarrassed about.

Qi Chenglin opened a drawer. “You can put them here.”

Ruan Danchen turned and saw his undergarments had taken up half the space. She opened the drawer below it and saw that it was filled with socks.

Qi Chenglin clarified coolly, “It’s not hygienic to put undergarments with socks.”

Ruan Danchen was speechless.

In the end, she had no choice but to put hers with his. When she was closing the drawer, Qi Chenglin suddenly tugged on it.

She turned to him confusedly. Qi Chenglin inspected the contents scrupulously, then finally closed it contentedly.

Although he said nothing of it, Ruan Danchen had a feeling that he wanted to see how it looked like when their undergarments were kept together.

Once she had arranged everything properly, she collected Qi Chenglin’s dirty clothes from his business trip and Qi Youxuan’s clothes together. She then called someone from the laundry to come pick it up for washing.

Qi Chenglin stood in the room and judged every corner in detail. When he first came in, it felt much warmer and cozier though a little barren.

Nonetheless, now that Ruan Danchen had filled the room with her stuff, it felt even more snuggly and homely. There was something that belonged to her at every corner.

Her skincare products and cosmetics were on the dressing table; on the shelf above the bed, the little crystal bear that she brought from her house was displayed. Qi Chenglin could not help but think how both the mother and the son loved bears so much.

On the thick furry carpet of the bay window, a little plush—which seemed to have been won from a claw machine—was placed.

Meeting his gaze, Ruan Danchen revealed, “I brought Youxuan to the amusement park yesterday. He won that from a claw machine.”

Moreover, the teddy bear that Qi Youxuan left at her place was also displayed there. There were innumerable toys placed on the bay window—it gave off a warm and inviting aura.

Subconsciously, Qi Chenglin’s lips curled up into a tender smile. He never imagined his room would become as cozy as it was now.

“Let’s go see Youxuan’s room,” Ruan Danchen said softly, proactively stuffing her hand into Qi Chenglin’s palm.

Thus together they went to Qi Youxuan’s room. Qi Youxuan’s childbed was custom-made, shaped like the pirate ship, ‘Going Merry, in One Piece’.

The bed frame was shaped like a ship. Inside the ‘ship’ was a custom mattress and above the headboard, little action figures of all the members of the Straw Hat Pirates were displayed.

There was a shelf attached to the headboard, and on the shelf was a Garfield-shaped phone. There were also two framed photos of Qi Youxuan.

A study desk with a bookshelf attached to it was placed against the wall. His old Apple Desktop Computer sat on the desk.

There was also a soft rug spread across the floor. The whole room appeared especially childlike.

As for Qi Youxuan’s toy room, aside from the toys he stored inside, there were many cartoon characters drawn on the four walls.

All three rooms looked much more refined and exquisite than before.

Qi Youxuan had never seen the house after the renovations—Ruan Danchen could not wait to see his reaction.

...

...

Qi Chenglin did not head to the company today. In the evening, he went to fetch Qi Youxuan from school with Ruan Danchen.

At Jixia Elementary School, Qi Youxuan was walking toward the school gate with Zhang Mingming. Diagonally behind him, Shen Manman was walking a distance away.

Shen Manman was pouting, her discontent evident on her pretty little face. Although she was quite a distance away from Qi Youxuan, her large eyes were still fixed on him.

Naturally, Qi Chenglin noticed this. Ruan Danchen explained, “That girl has a crush on Youxuan.”

Qi Chenglin squinted. He appeared quite unhappy—he did not like Shen Manman’s manner.

“Don’t be mad. It’s not like Youxuan is dating at this age,” Ruan Danchen clarified. She was afraid that Qi Chenglin would condemn Qi Youxuan.

However, when she thought about it, Qi Chenglin never expressed any disapproval when Qi Youxuan constantly said he liked Xiao Muran. It was quite odd.

Qi Chenglin turned to her and smiled warmly. “It’s nothing.”

Within the huge crowd of students at the gate, Qi Youxuan suddenly spotted Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen. He instantly said goodbye to his little friends and bolted toward them with his bag.

“Dad! Aunt Ruan!” Qi Youxuan called out exuberantly. He ran straight into Ruan Danchen’s arms.

“Don’t run or you might trip.” Ruan Danchen pinched his little chubby cheeks happily.

“Dad, when did you come back?” Qi Youxuan asked as he turned to Qi Chenglin.

“This morning,” Qi Chenglin replied. “Get in the car first.”

Qi Youxuan was over the moon with both Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen coming to pick him up. He marched forward in style with his chest puffed out—he felt extremely prideful.

When walking to the carpark, the little boy squeezed himself between them and held their hands, his tiny hands swinging back and forth joyously as he held onto them. Sometimes, he would even start skipping.

Qi Chenglin looked down to watch his son’s silly actions—his mood brightened.

“How was school today? What did you learn?” Qi Chenglin inquired, not forgetting to oversee the little boy’s studies.

Qi Youxuan reported his day in detail.

On the car, as Qi Youxuan was still talking about school, he noticed that they were going in the wrong direction. “Dad, are we not going home?”

“We are.” Qi Chenglin glanced at him through the rearview mirror. “We’re going back to Prestige Residences.”

Qi Youxuan blinked a few times. He was quite disappointed. Turning to Ruan Danchen, he begged, “Aunt Ruan, can’t I stay at your home?”

“Your Aunt Ruan is coming home with us,” Qi Chenglin announced coolly.

“Really?” Excited, Qi Youxuan’s voice inevitably turned higher and louder.

Ruan Danchen smiled and nodded. Qi Chenglin continued, “She has moved all her stuff there today.”

Qi Chenglin took a glance at Ruan Danchen through the rearview mirror and revealed, “When we were renovating the rooms, she even ordered a dressing table for herself.”

Ruan Danchen was dumbfounded.

This man was speaking as if she was impatient to move in!

“Aunt Ruan, you’re so thorough,” Qi Chenglin commented while twisting his little body.

“...” The father-and-son duo was too similar.

As they brought the little boy home, Qi Youxuan exclaimed joyfully, “It’s great to be home!”

Ruan Danchen grinned. She followed Qi Youxuan upstairs.

Qi Youxuan dashed into his room excitedly. The moment he saw the Going Merry bed, he squealed. He clambered into the bed instantly.

“Aunt Ruan, I love this room so much!” Qi Youxuan shouted gleefully.

“Let’s go see the toy room in a while.” Ruan Danchen felt immensely satisfied seeing Qi Youxuan on cloud nine.

Qi Youxuan climbed out swiftly and darted into the toy room. Once again, he was ebullient. When his bedtime came, Qi Youxuan, who always had to be forced to bed, unexpectedly climbed into bed without Qi Chenglin’s command. He tossed and turned and rolled around the bed—he was too excited to sleep.

...

...

The next morning, Ruan Danchen woke up early in the morning to make breakfast. She ate with the father and son and saw them off.

Qi Chenglin hinted at Qi Youxuan and the little boy then grabbed his bag and went out first. Qi Chenglin stood at the entrance alone. He looked down at Ruan Danchen. “I’ve always wished for this—you standing here and seeing me off.”

Ruan Danchen stood on her tiptoes peaked his lips without reservations. Her heart was filled with blissfulness. “Be careful on the road.”

Qi Chenglin stared at her deeply. He nodded and finally left.

...

...

In the morning, after work-hours had only started for half an hour in Chengshi, Jiang Yuan arrived.

As Qi Chenglin’s assistant, everyone in the design department knew him.

Yang Yunshu anxiously welcomed him with a beautiful and genial smile, “Mister Jiang.”

Jiang Yuan replied with an expressionless nod. He did not greet her either. His gaze fell on the empty seats of Ruan Danchen and Song Yu. Frowning, he asked, “Is Miss Ruan not here?”

Yang Yunshu was staggered. Her expression shifted abnormally. Quickly, she put her smile back on and answered, “Danchen is on leave. I’m handling her work for now. Whatever it is, Mister Jiang, you can just let me know.”

Nonetheless, Jiang Yuan’s brows knitted even tighter together. “She’s not here? I’m here just to see Miss Ruan. When will she be back?”
