Chapter 70

He hadn’t expected her to do this, and Feng Yan was slightly taken aback.

She rested her chin in the palm of her hand, appearing to hold herself firmly in place. In reality, however, she gave the impression that she could be easily caught if he just gently grasped her but it’s just a mere illusion.

If he really tried to catch her, she would jump aside at the first moment, turning away without mercy, perhaps even with a merciless sneer.

It was a deliberate test, and he knew it.

She always had various strange ideas and did unexpected things, yet she never made people feel uncomfortable. Thus, there were repeated instances of yielding and indulgence.

So, when did curiosity turn into willing indulgence, to the point that even he himself unknowingly underwent a change?

Feng Yan gently tightened his grip, lightly holding her chin. His long and powerful fingers moved slowly and gently, as if even the warmth he felt was soft and tender.

His gaze was deep, and for a moment he couldn’t restrain himself, leaving a slight red mark on her tender skin.

“What’s wrong, husband? Why aren’t you speaking?” Seemingly unaware of the strange atmosphere around them, Sheng Xia even rubbed her hand against his warm palm, reproaching him confidently, “Do we still need to resort to such childish behavior given our relationship?”

“This kind of behavior is not even played by elementary school students anymore. How can you be so cold, so heartless, so unreasonable—”

Before she could finish her words, her pretty, pale pink lips were suddenly pressed shut by his finger. A slightly strange and hoarse voice came into her ears, “Xia Xia, shh, be quiet.”

Sheng Xia blinked, looking up at him. Although his tone was slightly heavy and commanding, there was still no expression on his face, just the calm and self-control that irritated her.

Top of Form

Hmm, is she the kind of person who listens obediently?

Especially remembering his restraint just now, Sheng Xia was even less likely to comply with his wishes.

So, although she seemed to respond softly in fear, her fingers had unconsciously slipped under his blanket, feeling for the belt around his waist, playfully tugging at it.

However, Feng Yan’s expression remained unchanged, his black eyes fixed on her, casting her shadow.

“Husband, are you angry?”

Sheng Xia raised an eyebrow slightly, her eyes shining brightly in the dim light of the desk lamp, but her mouth showed no mercy. “This is all your fault, you know. You clearly said it before. Why does Mr. Feng keep tempting me with his beauty, knowing full well that I have weak self-control, and you always flaunting your body in front of me?”

After shifting the blame, Sheng Xia was about to let it go, but she heard the man’s slightly restrained, deep voice sound in her ear, neither fast nor slow, “But Xia Xia, have you forgotten that I also said, my patience— isn’t as good as you think it is?”

Before she could react, her delicate wrist was suddenly held, with a gentle yet irresistible force, pressed onto the soft pillow.

As if in the blink of an eye, their positions were reversed, sinking into the mattress.

The desk lamp accidentally fell, emitting a slight protest before abruptly ceasing to function.

Feng Yan pressed lightly on top of her, without the light casting shadows, he seemed like a deep dark shadow, descending with his unique aura, then covering and surrounding her.

At this moment, he exuded an unrestrained sense of dominance, emitting a disturbing aggressiveness.

The surroundings became dim, and in this overly intimate distance, Sheng Xia could clearly see the man’s eyes shining brightly, as if they were emitting a scorching heat, causing her body to involuntarily tense up, while her brain nerves became excited under stimulation.

It was like a silent confrontation, with them only staring at each other in this darkness, neither of them making a sound.

Suddenly silent; in the room, apart from the sea breeze hitting the window; sound, nobody knows who; heartbeat slightly quickened, the two’s slight; breathing gradually merged.

“… So Mr. Feng’s patience; isn’t that good, huh?”

It was unknown how long it had passed before Sheng Xia lightly moved her wrist that was still being held. She elongated her voice meaningfully, ending with a innocent and gentle laugh: “I thought Mr. Feng was a representative of male virtue, scaring me like that.”

Looking at how she was clearly in a weaker position; below, yet showing no fear and even trying to provoke; him, Feng Yan’s eyes flickered, and he remained silent for a few seconds before calmly saying, “That also depends on the person.”

“Is that so?”

Sheng Xia’s long and thick; eyelashes trembled slightly, then she lifted her head silently, carrying a fragile and charming; beauty like butterfly wings.

Then, she curved her eyebrows and eyes decisively: “I don’t believe it.”

—She sealed her heart in cement, not believing it!

Feng Yan: “…”

Because of her resolute answer, the ambiguous and tense atmosphere came to an abrupt halt, completely ending the subsequent conversation.

Feng Yan felt a little headache. He looked down at her confidently turning her head expression, paused slightly, feeling helpless yet amused in his heart.

It was always like this. Whenever he made a slight move, she would immediately become alert, listen intently for any movement around her, and quickly leave.

But Feng Yan wasn’t angry. He knew that she was just testing his limits in her own way. The more she did this, the more it showed that she was starting to waver.

Since she didn’t believe it, then he would take it slow.

Until she suddenly realized that, with each of her tests, there was a response. And no matter how she deliberately teased, she could get it indulgence.

He had enough patience to wait for the day she would trust him.

“Since you know I have a bad temper, just behave.” Feng Yan’s tone was slightly heavy, with a hint of warning, then he eased up, restrained himself from her; body, and said, “Alright, it’s late, go to sleep.”

Watching him put the pillow back between them, Sheng Xia blinked, this time not saying anything, but obediently folded her hands on her stomach and closed her eyes.

Compared to the last time when neither of them slept well, this time, even though the sea breeze outside the window was constantly howling, Sheng Xia had a dreamless night.

Of course, when she was awakened by Director Xu’s loudspeaker downstairs, she found that the distance between the two of them had disappeared.

Perhaps feeling the heat source last night, she subconsciously curled into the man’s arms. Feng Yan’s hand was resting on her back, and he didn’t know if he had woken up in the middle of the night and gently comforted her.

Sheng Xia turned her head slightly and saw that the pillow looked pitifully thrown to the side, and she didn’t know who did it.

As soon as she made a slight movement, Feng Yan opened his eyes. He looked calm and clear, obviously awake for a long time.

In his eyes, she trembled slightly, pitifully accusing him: “I said our relationship doesn’t need a boundary, but you insist on doing this.”

“Sigh, forget about doing this, how can you sneakily throw away the pillow in the middle of the night and bring me over here?” She propped her head, sounding annoyed, “Husband, you’re going too far.”

Seeing her lively and mischievous look, Feng Yan was somewhat amused, not mentioning that she felt a little cold and subconsciously wanted to move towards him, then found a pillow separating them and angrily threw it away, then grabbed his blanket and slipped in.

He smiled slightly, patiently acknowledging his mistake: “Sorry, next time I’ll honestly face my desires.”

Actually, she was a bit conscious;

Sheng Xia: ? No need.

“Well—”

Before she could continue, Feng Yan smoothly picked up the conversation: “To avoid making mistakes in the future, shall I transfer 2million to you first?”

“…Humph, am I the kind of person who forgives you for money?”

“Make it ten times more?” Feng Yan was calm, with a slight smile, “May I ask if Mrs. Feng can forgive me?”

“Although I won’t bend for money, I will bend for love!” Sheng Xia’s expression changed, instantly holding his hand, her black eyes sparkling, “After all, my favorite person is my husband, deal!”

Due to the weak soundproofing of the treehouse, Feng Jingxu, who was standing outside the door, preparing to call them down, couldn’t help but hear their conversation clearly.

So, just as he was about to knock on the door, he instantly turned black and red, directly grabbed the twins and walked away.

He would never disturb these two again, he was even lower than a dog!

—No, even dogs wouldn’t come!!

When all the guests gathered on the first floor and had their breakfast, the production team announced the task.

They were required to go to the beach to catch seafood, prepare a sumptuous seafood feast for themselves.
