Chapter 84

The kiss came suddenly yet was both unexpected and expected.

Though he was beneath her, Feng Yan remained calm and composed, his aura showing no signs of restraint. His gaze, fixed on Sheng Xia, appeared deep and soft in the dim light.

Sheng Xia deeply experienced what it meant to be “caught between a rock and a hard place.”

Unlike his previous aggressive approach, this time his kiss was gentle, seeming to soothe and divert her attention, uninterrupted and continuous.

However, as his hand slipped through her long hair to grasp the back of her neck, the gesture carried an irresistible implication, a strange and unfamiliar sense of detachment.

Her smooth black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, scattering over both of them, lightly brushing against their skin with a feather-like tickle.

In the silent room, the gentle kiss gradually transformed, the entwined breaths becoming scorching and lingering.

It turned out that a tender kiss was no easier than a forceful demand; instead, it was even more addictive, leaving one breathless.

Sheng Xia found it difficult to resist his repeated gentle entanglements, like a frog slowly being boiled in warm water, almost melting in the gradually intensifying heat. Initially in a position of dominance, she now felt powerless, unconsciously pressing against him.

Her slender, rosy fingers tightly gripped his bathrobe collar, crumpling it and gradually loosening it.

She didn’t know how long had passed when the kiss suddenly stopped.

Sheng Xia, somewhat bewildered, opened her eyes and met his deep, restrained gaze filled with hidden desires and thoughts.

Amidst the gradually transforming entanglement, his hand had slipped down her messy, loose nightgown, sneaking inside.

He kissed her misty, beautiful eyes and then withdrew his hand, his hoarse voice tinged with a hint of helplessness and soft cajoling. “I have a business trip tomorrow. Don’t be difficult.”

Sheng Xia: ?

Are you okay with all the mosaic tiles you just laid?

If she had been a bit hesitant before, now seeing him calm down first, she felt a bit annoyed.

So, she couldn’t help but press against him, tilting her head with feigned innocence. “You can’t go on a business trip tomorrow?”

“Or is it…”

Sheng Xia’s fingertips were resting on his chest, gently circling. His eyes, as clear as gemstones, were filled with a hint of tenderness and a seductive smile as he softly asked, “Is there another sister waiting outside, making it inconvenient?”

Even though he could clearly feel the stiffness in her body, with muscles tense, the next moment, her waist was hooked, and with a slight turn, he pulled her back onto the bed.

Feng Yan’s expression remained calm, as if indifferent, but he gently kissed her forehead and said, “For you, it’s indeed not very convenient right now.”

After saying this, Sheng Xia watched as the man suddenly got up and went to the bathroom.

Feeling a bit annoyed, yet at the same time, her competitive spirit was aroused, she felt a desire to challenge.

—So, he can’t stand not going on a business trip tomorrow, huh? Hmph, she would like to see how long he can endure!

After this brief episode, Sheng Xia yawned, and the drowsiness that had been suppressed returned to her warm blanket.

In a drowsy state, she vaguely heard the bathroom door open, and the man, enveloped in a cold mist, seemed to silently stand by the bed for a long time.

When the coldness faded away and the familiar scent of medicine filled the air, she felt the bed sink down.

Feeling her wrist being gently lifted and massaged, in this comfortable massage, she no longer had the intention of retaliating and kicking the man off the bed. She seemed to gradually lose consciousness.

Before falling asleep, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: Is he deliberately trying to change the subject and not admit that he’s jealous?

Tsk, what a cunning man.

It turns out that’s how he acts when he’s sulking.

…

When she woke up again, Feng Yan had indeed left.

Thinking of last night’s events, Sheng Xia couldn’t help but narrow her eyes. As if seeking revenge, she pushed the neatly arranged position next to her, but suddenly felt a bit of pain in her waist.

She slightly lifted her sleeping gown and twisted her body, only to see deep marks left on it.

On her tender, white skin, the reddish fingerprints seemed particularly possessive and thrilling.

Sheng Xia tried hard to recall. It seemed that after she teased him, he became as cold and hard as a stone, seemingly indifferent as he held her waist and carried her back to the bed.

At that time, she secretly thought that this man must be hopeless.

Finding evidence like she had caught Feng Yan not being calm at the time, her mood suddenly improved.

Just because she acknowledged a few big boys and played games with them, he actually got jealous like this, was it necessary?

Hmph.

Taking out her phone to capture the evidence, Sheng Xia saw that Feng Yan had already informed her of his itinerary, where he was going for business, how long it would roughly take, and if there was anything he wanted as a gift.

His messages were just like him, calm, rational, and logical. She could almost imagine him sitting in the car in a suit, typing leisurely with lowered eyes, looking calm and restrained.

Seeing the last message indicating that he had boarded the plane, she sent him a photo with a caption saying, “I’m so fragile,” with a cat emoticon, then changed clothes and went downstairs.

At this moment, Feng Jingxu and the twins had already gone to school, and Feng Yan and Feng Shaoyu was also at the company. Only Feng Shaoyun was sitting on the sofa waiting for her. When she saw her coming out of the elevator, she couldn’t help but show a shy and joyful expresion, she smiled, “Good morning, sister-in-law.”

Since she stopped closing herself off, Feng Shaoyun’s condition had indeed been getting better. It was no longer possible to see her past numbness and paleness.

Although there was no fluctuation in her dark eyes, which still seemed somewhat indifferent when looking at people, her expressions had become much more vivid, and she had gradually learned to express herself actively.

Anyone who saw her now would only think that the young lady might just be a bit aloof and cold, without seeing any problems.

Especially now, with her cheeks slightly red and her dark eyes seemingly shining, she looked even more adorable.

Sheng Xia couldn’t resist the urge and came over to rub her head a few times, “Good morning, Shaoyun. Have you eaten yet?”

Feng Shaoyun shook her head, “I just came down and wanted to wait for you.”

“…Actually, Miss Four has been sitting here since seven o’clock, sending off the gentleman, Third Young Master, and Jingxu Young Master.” The housekeeper, with a fist against her lips, coughed lightly, somewhat helplessly and amusingly whispered, “She was actually waiting for you to come down and have breakfast together.”

Sheng Xia raised her eyebrows and looked at the beautiful girl with a smile, deliberately prolonging her voice, “Is that so, Shaoyun?”

Caught off guard by her thoughts being exposed, Feng Shaoyun twisted her fingers, her cheeks even redder, and she mumbled with her head down, “I’m sorry, I just wanted to be with you.”

Wow, Feng Shaoyun is so sweet. I wonder how the progress of the game is going now and if it can be produced as soon as possible.

Sheng Xia rubbed her head again, seemingly absent-mindedly thinking in her mind.

System: [….] Rubbing the genuine article but thinking about the substitute, the host is so bad!

Pretending not to hear the silent ridicule, Sheng Xia’s dark eyes showed a smile, and she took the initiative to hold her hand and walk towards the dining room, “Next time you want to have breakfast with me, tell me in advance, don’t wait like this, okay?”

Feng Shaoyun suddenly lightened her steps and nodded vigorously, “Okay!”

The housekeeper followed slowly behind, couldn’t help but take out his handkerchief again, and wiped the corner of her eye with emotion.

The Feng family is really getting better and better. It’s really nice now.

And in the afternoon, while Sheng Xia was leisurely having afternoon tea in the garden, Feng Shaoyun was drawing beside her, she finally received a message from Feng Yan.

【Sorry, I was a bit excessive last night. I heard from Assistant Su that there will be a Dole Family jewelry auction exhibition here in three days. If you’re interested, I’ll have someone take pictures for you as an apology gift, okay?】

Seeing the previous note with the nickname “current donkey,” Sheng Xia’s fingers twitched, and she directly changed it to “Ninja Turtles” for a humorous effect.

Finding this quite amusing, she then satisfiedly raised the corners of her light pink lips and replied, lowering her head, 【All of them?】

The response came quickly from the other side: 【If you like.】

Sheng Xia: 【$_$】

Far away, overseas.

Feng Yan, who was already in the car, saw the money-loving emoji on the screen. His originally somewhat cold facial lines gradually softened, and his dark eyes also showed a smile.

Su Jin, who was reporting his recent schedule to him, paused slightly when he saw this, knowing that Madam must have said something again to make the boss laugh.

This kind of thing was actually not uncommon. He didn’t know when it started, but it seemed that he could often see Mr. Feng smiling and his boundaries being repeatedly broken.

They had long been used to it.

So Assistant Su maintained a professional silence until Feng Yan put away his phone and calmly looked at him as if nothing had happened, and then he quickly continued with what he was saying earlier.

“Tomorrow…”

During Feng Yan’s business trip, Sheng Xia still lived comfortably. Besides playing games, she spent her time playing games with Feng Shaoyun and supervising her drawing drafts.

Of course, occasionally she would leisurely pose as the model for her little sister-in-law’s sketches, and then mischievously hang the frames full of sketches in Feng Yan’s room.

To make sure the dog of a man would see her when he opened and closed his eyes, both in his dreams and awake, and scare him!

And when the game company finally released the Hamster Demo version, Sheng Xia took her to visit the Leap Studio.

It wasn’t until then that Feng Shaoyun learned that the little hamster she designed was named “Xiao Yun.”

Meeting the slightly hot gazes of the crowd, Feng Shaoyun couldn’t help but stiffen her face. Suddenly, she strangely understood why they had been so enthusiastic towards her and kept inviting her to the company recently.

It turns out that she… she was the model for the hamster character???

Seeing the fluffy hamster “Xiao Yun” on the big screen, blinking its dark, not-so-bright eyes and tilting its head, Feng Shaoyun couldn’t help but blink along.

Amidst the praise of the crowd, she felt her cheeks heating up, feeling embarrassed and curling her fingers in embarrassment at the realization that the character was her creation.

However, just as she was about to seek help from Sheng Xia, she found that she was already enthusiastically taken by someone to observe the 3D model of the little hamster.

【If you’re unsure how to depict the expression and image, perhaps you can refer to yourself in the mirror.】

【Because this is a hamster with autism and depression, you might resonate with it, right?】

【Observe more, and you might gain something, you know?】

Hearing the laughter from that side and remembering the earnest guidance from earlier, Feng Shaoyun couldn’t help but look over with some resentment.

Hamster Yuyu: Sister-in-law, you’re too much QAQ!
