Chapter 241: How About You Stay the Night?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Ever since that day, I’ve been waiting for you to contact me. If a woman is too eager, then the man would never know how to cherish her. But you didn’t get in touch with me at all. You’re selling yourself too high, aren’t you?” Jiang Xiyao stood in front of him and reproached him.

“I’m worried that my girlfriend might misunderstand.” Cheng Dongge retorted bluntly.

Jiang Xiyao was taken aback as she did not expect that answer from him. Her gaze wandered but her smile was constant. She was as open and beautiful as ever, and she did not look stiff at all.

“It wasn’t long since we last met right? You’ve already gotten a girlfriend so quickly?” Jiang Xiyao smiled and asked.

Cheng Dongge simply smiled without saying anything further.

Noticing how he seemed unenthusiastic about talking to her, she probed around and asked, “It’s not Miss Qi, is it?”

“It is.” Cheng Dongge did not try to hide anything. “I told you before that I like her, so of course I’m with her, instead of anyone else.”

“Hehe.” Jiang Xiyao giggled insincerely.

“You must be busy?” Cheng Dongge hinted plainly.

“Not really. This afternoon I was a bridesmaid for one of my friends’ weddings, and tonight is their appreciation dinner. Nothing too urgent.” Jiang Xiyao appeared oblivious to Cheng Dongge’s hinting. She looked inside and said, “Oh, I heard Qilin’s having a celebratory feast tonight.”

Cheng Dongge did not say anything, but Jiang Xiyao stepped forward and leaned very close to him without any warning. Before Cheng Dongge could respond, her fingers grabbed his tie.

“Your tie is a bit off.” Jiang Xiyao smiled, looked up, and helped him to straighten his tie. She took the opportunity to lean closer as if she wanted her fragrance to rub off on his body.

Her eyes were half-open, and her long lashes were obscuring her gaze faintly. Meanwhile, her forehead was almost touching Cheng Dongge’s chin.

He took a step back immediately and yanked his tie away from her hands, messing it up even more.

Jiang Xiyao’s mouth was wide agape. Embarrassed, she fell silent for a moment. Cheng Dongge’s blatant rejection was so direct and obvious, causing her to feel incredibly ashamed.

She twitched her lip and giggled awkwardly. “Cheng...”

However, she noticed his gaze was directed someplace else.

Jiang Xiyao followed his gaze and saw Qi Chengzhi holding hands with Song Yu, and beside them were Qi Chenglin and Qi Chengyue. They were all walking toward her direction.

It was an imposing sight to see three Qi siblings walking together. Song Yu may be the only soft one amongst the group, but within that softness was her ability to conquer strength.

Qi Chengyue was not pleased to see Cheng Dongge’s messed-up necktie.

Back in Qi Chenglin’s car, she saw Jiang Xiyao and Cheng Dongge standing by the door. Jiang Xiyao leaned forward all of a sudden and helped to straighten his tie in the most intimate manner possible.

Qi Chengyue may still be inside the car at that time, but she was already exploding with rage. Fortunately, Cheng Dongge took a step back and pulled the necktie away. That was when she finally suppressed the anger within her.

As she neared, Cheng Dongge did not even introduce Jiang Xiyao to her. Neither did he say a word to Qi Chengzhi or Qi Chenglin. His first words were to Qi Chengyue. “My tie is messed-up.”

Qi Chengyue could not help but smile. First, she patted his tie a few times, as if to dust off the areas touched by Jiang Xiyao. After that, she began to straighten his tie properly.

He only turned to greet Qi Chengzhi and co after that. No one minded it though. On the contrary, Qi Chengyue’s two brothers were much happier to see him leave Jiang Xiyao in the cold.

Jiang Xiyao greeted the three of them but was given only a simple acknowledgment by Qi Chengzhi and Qi Chenglin. They then proceeded to enter.

“This is my girlfriend.” Cheng Dongge formally introduced.

Qi Chengyue nodded and smiled. “Miss Jiang, we’ve met once before.

“Yes.” Jiang Xiyao was unable to say anything further.

“Excuse us.” Cheng Dongge remarked curtly. He grabbed Qi Chengyue’s hand and led her into the hall.

Jiang Xiyao watched from the back as Qi Chengyue took a sneaky poke at Cheng Dongge. He did not shy away from it, but instead turned to her and gave her a patient smile.

“Hmph. Just now...” Qi Chengyue pursed, but instead of her face tensing up, she broke into a smile. “You did well.”

Cheng Dongge broke out in laughter. He looked at her warmly and asked, “Do you feel reassured with me?”

“Hm...” She pouted, looking rather ugly, but in Cheng Dongge’s eyes, it was nothing short of cute. “Pending further investigation. Even if I’m reassured with you, I’m still worried about other women.”

Qi Chengyue glanced at him and asked, “Do you think I’m strict?”

“It’s okay with me. The stricter, the better,” Cheng Dongge replied in earnest.

Qi Chengyue giggled and only uttered a single word. “Silly.”

...

...

By the time Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi entered the banquet hall, both Qilin and Chengshi’s employees were already present.

Song Yu went there as the director’s wife, so her status as Chengshi’s employee was largely ignored. That was why Ruan Danchen sat with her colleagues and did not look for her.

There was nothing too special about the celebratory dinner. No government official was there to make a speech or anything of the sort and was simply a dinner to entertain the employees. Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu were present there just for show.

They did not stay too long because Qi Chengzhi was afraid that Song Yu would get tired.

Not long later, Cheng Dongge also brought Qi Chengyue and left. They walked to Shengyue’s entrance and she waited while Cheng Dongge went and fetched the car. Having worn high heels for practically the entire day, he did not want her to walk so much.

“Junior.” Qi Chengyue was waiting for Cheng Dongge’s car when she heard a very foreign voice. She did not respond to it.

The person then stood in front of her. “Why did you ignore me? You didn’t forget me, right?”

Qi Chengyue looked up in shock and saw Li Zhuohui standing in front of her. She came to her senses and responded, “It was you? I’m so sorry, I couldn’t recognize your voice. I thought it was directed at someone else.”

“It seems like my voice is still pretty foreign to you. Once we get to know each other more, you’ll be able to recognize it and get used to it,” Li Zhuohui smiled and said.

Qi Chengyue let out a dry laugh and asked, “Why are you here?”

“There’s a wedding appreciation dinner going on. I helped the newly-weds a bit, so they insisted that I join them. I can’t decline their kindness,” Li Zhuohui explained.

Shengyue had only one appreciation dinner, and it came as a surprise that Li Zhuohui and Jiang Xiyao attended the same one.

“Why are you standing here? Are you waiting for a car? Let me send you,” Li Zhuoan offered.

“No, I’m waiting for...” Cheng Dongge’s car arrived in front of her before she could finish her sentence.

He got down, attracting the gaze of Li Zhuohui.

He had already spotted Li Zhuohui from afar when he was driving over. Li Zhuohui was not seen again ever since the day he sent Qi Chengyue to Qilin. Cheng Dongge was uneasy as he did not expect to see him here.

Cheng Dongge may look calm, but his emotions were turning turbulent. Cheng Dongge was usually the one who gave in to her, and if her temper was flaring up, he would always remain calm and tolerate her. Nevertheless, Qi Chengyue was completely fearful of making him unhappy.

Her heart skipped a beat and she gulped, continuing where she left off, “I’m waiting for my boyfriend.”

Cheng Dongge’s expression lightened up immediately. Under Li Zhuohui’s astonished gaze, he walked over to Qi Chengyue’s side and held her hand. He then greeted Li Zhuohui, “Director Li.”

Li Zhuohui’s gaze was pinpointed at their intertwined hands. He smiled charmingly and said, “I never expected Mr. Cheng to be in a relationship with my junior. Congratulations.”

“Thank you. You’re cordially invited to the wedding, Director Li,” Cheng Dongge proclaimed sullenly.

Li Zhuohui could only smile. Cheng Dongge said goodbye before helping Qi Chengyue into the car.

“That Li Zhuohui is pretty eager, isn’t he?” Cheng Dongge drove a long way off, but his words were still very sulky as he could not restrain the jealousy in his heart.

“Pffttttttt,” Qi Chengyue laughed. She leaned over and hugged Cheng Dongge’s arm. “Are you jealous?”

“Of course not. You belong to me anyway. Can he take you away from me?” Cheng Dongge took down his right hand from the steering wheel and allowed her to keep hugging it.

“What do you mean by I belong to you!” Qi Chengyue pinched him, but she continued hugging his shoulder.

Cheng Dongge smiled. When they were at the red light, he looked over and saw Qi Chengyue admiring his hands. Sensing his gaze, she looked up and met with Cheng Dongge’s fast-approaching lips. He kissed her in between her eyebrows, turned around, then got ready to continue the journey once the light turned green.

“Zhou Mingyan’s lawsuit is starting today,” Cheng Dongge said as soon as the light turned green and the car continued its journey.

“So, what happened?” Qi Chengyue was not too interested in how Zhou Mingyan ended up, and if Cheng Dongge did not raise the subject, she would have forgotten it altogether.

She no longer felt as intense a hatred toward Zhou Mingyan and Jian Yi.

She did wonder why she felt that way, and she concluded that it had to do with her own happiness. When a person was happy, they would not care much about distressing things, and many of those rotten things that happened in the past were no longer kept in her heart. There was no need to hold grudges. Everyone should just live their own lives and mind their own business.

“The Guan family produced Guan Xiaolin’s medical report, but they did not raise the issue that Zhou Mingyan caused Guan Xiaolin’s infertility, and the lawyer did not use that as evidence. I think the Guan family doesn’t want Guan Xiaolin’s infertility to be made public. They want to keep it a secret so that Guan Xiaolin won’t find it hard to get married,” Cheng Dongge explained.

“But if she does get married, won’t the husband’s side want children sooner or later? If that time comes and she can’t get married, a doctor’s check would still reveal her infertility, right?” Qi Chengyue placed her head on his shoulder. Both her hands were wrapped around Cheng Dongge’s right hand and were playing with his slender fingers. “If that’s the case, then why not just let the truth out? At least that’ll put Zhou Mingyan in her place and make her pay for what she did.”

“Who knows what the Guan family is thinking? They must’ve had some reason for doing so. We’re not in their place so we can’t comprehend the situation as they would. Perhaps they just wanted it to let the days go by and come up with something only when Guan Xiaolin gets married,” Cheng Dongge opined and looked at Qi Chengyue.

Qi Chengyue nodded while her head was still plastered on his shoulder. “What’s the judgment, then?”

“Six months for Zhou Mingyan,” Cheng Dongge answered.

What Cheng Dongge omitted was that Jian Yi somehow managed to get in touch with one of the Mu family’s lawyers. The lawyer he hired was very skilled because if the Guan family really was determined, they could make sure that Zhou Mingyan’s sentence is not as short as just six months.”

“Is the Guan family willing to accept that?” Qi Chengyue asked, noticing that they had already entered into Cheng Dongge’s residential area.

“What else can they do if they can’t accept it? The sentence was supposed to be longer, but the Guan family insisted on not using evidence of Guan Xiaolin’s infertility. Even if they can’t get their intended outcome, all they can do is swallow it bitterly.” Cheng Dongge drove the car into his parking spot and switched off the ignition.

He massaged Qi Chengyue’s hand and turned his head to kiss her. Qi Chengyue then sat up straight and glanced at him before smiling uncontrollably and getting off the car.

The two of them went back to Cheng Dongge’s home, and he immediately headed for the kitchen to boil some Pu’er tea.

Qi Chengyue stayed in the living room, and for some reason, she felt increasingly nervous that night. Her heart was beating wildly as she sat there, feeling as though the relationship between the two of them would never be the same after that night.

She did not know what she could do to ease the awkward atmosphere when she was clearly the only person in the living room. Qi Chengyue was getting so anxious that she gulped and switched on the television, changing channels as she pleased.

Nothing interesting was being aired, and after going through all the channels she finally settled on the most trending romance drama.

With the added noise in the living room, she felt much better. She got up and went into the kitchen where Cheng Dongge had finished brewing the tea. She then helped him bring the tea out to the living room.

Qi Chengyue held the cup in her hand, and without caring about her image in front of Cheng Dongge, she crossed her legs on the sofa while still wearing a dress. Leaning back, she drank her tea contentedly as she watched the television.

She had never seen that drama before, and since she was unable to make head or tail of it, she did not really pay attention to it.

“You like watching this one?” Cheng Dongge asked just for the sake of asking.

“I’ve never seen this before. I didn’t know what to watch, and there wasn’t anything interesting either. You can change the channel if there’s anything else you’d like to watch,” Qi Chengyue said and sipped some tea.

“Just continue watching this one then. There’s nothing I want to watch either.” Cheng Dongge sipped his tea absent-mindedly without fully appreciating the Pu’er’s smell.

Qi Chengyue could only feel her ears become hot. She surmised that they were probably already red. The entire atmosphere was too odd, and even the temperature of the air was beginning to rise steadily.

She forced herself to focus all her attention on the TV series, but as though the drama had a mind of his own and was mocking her, the story unfolded with the characters beginning to live together as a couple.

Qi Chengyue nearly choked on her tea, while Cheng Dongge held in his chuckle and said, “How about you stay the night?”

Taken aback, she nearly spat out her mouthful of tea. She turned to Cheng Dongge and saw him smiling warmly and plainly, while his eyes were fixed on her.

He did not have a change of clothes after coming back and was still in his suit. Looking very proper and solemn, his uniform had something of a charm to it.

Qi Chengyue blushed and looked down instead of immediately rejecting his proposal.

In fact, Cheng Dongge was simply asking a question. He did not have any intention of taking things too quickly because he was afraid that she was uncomfortable and found it too rushed. That night, however, Li Zhuohui provoked him somewhat, making him feel a bit impatient to make her fully his.

He felt a surge of emotion when he saw the redness of her cheek, especially when she was giving him her silent acquiescence. The latter aspect made him more excited.

He placed his cup down and held Qi Chengyue’s hand. He did not ask a second time but merely leaned forward slowly. Her nose was only a millimeter away from her red-hot cheek, and he let out his breaths all over her. Qi Chengyue felt even hotter, and her body trembled in sync with those breaths.

Finally, his lips landed on her eyes and kissed them gently. Bit-by-bit, his kisses searched for the corner of her lips, and the more he leaned forward, the more unconsciously Qi Chengyue leaned back. She was unaware that her back was pressed onto the sofa.

He found her lips and kissed her softly there, luring her to return the favor. Both his hands slid up her arms and onto her shoulders.

Clad in a red lace dress, the lower part of her dress was already bunched up—her silky-white legs were revealed but her bottom was covered. Cheng Dongge’s palm was pressing against her back, roaming around in search of her zipper. He undid it, but not entirely. His palm slid across the skin on her back, and those warm fingers of his touched her satiny skin, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

He bridal carried her and walked into his bedroom. One of Qi Chengyue’s hands were hooked on his neck, while the other began undoing his buttons. Each button took quite some time to undo, and as her fingers touched his warm skin through his shirt, Cheng Dongge’s fire was being stroked.

She had only managed to undo half of those buttons by the time he placed her onto the bed.

Cheng Dongge chuckled and lowered his head to kiss her. Their clothes were completely gone, and Qi Chengyue had not the slightest idea when that happened. She did not think so much at that time, and all she could feel was his hand, his lips, and how he was worshipping her.

She knew that her entire body was red and that her breathing was turning erratic. Faced with such a ravishing beauty in front of him, Cheng Dongge’s eyes and lips could never have enough. It was not until Qi Chengyue finally moved that Cheng Dongge read her body and inserted himself into her.

Qi Chengyue inhaled sharply and opened her eyes wide. The ecstasy she felt was just too unbelievable for her, and Cheng Dongge’s face also seemed to be lost in that drunken pleasure. He kissed her forcefully and thrust into her repeatedly.

...

In the morning, Qi Chengyue opened her eyes feeling energized. The thought of lazing around in bed did not occur in her mind at all.

Cheng Dongge was not beside her, but when she turned around, she saw his phone placed at the pillow beside her. Underneath his phone was a piece of paper. Qi Chengyue turned around and lay belly-down on the bed, supporting herself by her elbows. She took the paper and saw Cheng Dongge’s neat handwriting: ‘I went down to get breakfast, I’ll be back soon.’

Qi Chengyue stared at the words. They were a lot like Cheng Dongge the person—firm and steady.

She turned around and lay on the bed, using the blanket to cover her breasts. She did not wear anything else, and the intimacy she felt by sleeping on Cheng Dongge’s bed made her feel sweet, and her heart was beating wildly.

Qi Chengyue clenched her jaw and smiled like a fool at Cheng Dongge’s handwriting.

She had clearly slept little the night before and woken up rather early, but she did not feel sleepy in the slightest.

Recalling the previous night, after he had his fill, he did not immediately go to sleep. Instead, he held her and talked with her, but their subject of conversation was nothing too serious. It was all just flirty words and sappy statements, but when she thought about all that to herself, she found it all so silly.

She did not expect that after the conversation, his restless hand worked up some vigor and they went at it for a second time. In the end, he might have sensed that she was more uninhibited, thus gaining the bravery to do her in all sorts of shameless positions.

Red-faced, she opened the covers slightly and peeped in. She saw all the little marks he left on her body and, feeling embarrassed, she turned around and lay face-down once again, hiding her entire body in his blanket. She could not help but smile foolishly again, with the hills and valleys of the blanket shaking, making for a really weird sight.

After a while, Qi Chengyue got off the bed, still red-faced. Cheng Dongge had thrown the previous night’s clothes into the washer, and Qi Chengyue had no clothes to wear. Her decision to stay there was made at the last minute, and she did not even have any fresh underwear that she could change into.
