Chacha pretended to sigh and said, “Everything has shelf life, don’t wait until it expires.”

With his free hand, Jiao Yushi reached out and grabbed her cheeks, causing her ruddy lips to pout and making people want to kiss it to see what it tastes like.

Jiao Yushi was the kind of person who obeys his own desires. He said nothing more.

So, before Chacha could react, he lowered his head and touched his lips against hers.

Chacha blinked.

Cute.

Jiao Yushi couldn’t help but kiss her again.

She became so well-behaved that she was so cute. Really, he had never known about this before.

Chacha was kissed several times in a row. But although it felt pretty wonderful, they didn’t have any status yet, so she wasn’t happy to be kissed casually.

She wasn’t such a casual person, no matter how good-looking the other party were.

Chacha finally raised her hand that was originally placed on Jiao Yushi’s chest, pushed his face away, and said seriously, “Any more kisses will be charged.”

Jiao Yushi asked, “How much is it?”

This question made Chacha torn for a while, before shamelessly saying, “One kiss is one hundred million.”

“Too expensive. Be my girlfriend and let me kiss you for free.”

She thought that she’s the king when it comes to shamelessness but she didn’t expect Jiao Yushi to be the king among the kings. He was so thick-skinned that it would be a pity not to use this good material to build the city wall.

“……You really can’t catch a girl like this, I’m telling you.”

Jiao Yushi chuckled lightly and said, “Then you marry me. After marriage, I will give you all my property, which is worth billions. If you stay with me and we don’t divorce or separate, it will multiply in the future. As for how many times it will be, it’s uncertain. How about it?”

Chacha said, “You’re so kind, but what if I don’t accept it? Is it really difficult for you to understand the atmosphere?”

“I don’t like ambiguous answer.”

“En, I think it’s great, so I agree. Is this answer clear enough?”

“Mm.” Jiao Yushi lowered his head and continued to kiss her.

Chacha leaned softly on his chest and wrapped her hands around his neck to get even closer, pulling him tighter. One of her hands caressed his hair, which was soft and comfortably light to the touch. It moved to his back, which had defined muscles, then slid down along the lines……

Jiao Yushi grabbed her wandering hand and temporarily let go of her lips, saying, “Touch me again and it’ll be bad.”

Chacha looked at him teasingly. “It’s okay. I’ll tolerate the fact that you’re easily in heat, after all, I’m your girlfriend now~”

Jiao Yushi: “……”

What was it like to have an annoying girlfriend?

He just wanted to kiss her so that she couldn’t say exasperating things.

Half an hour later, when Jiao Yushi went upstairs to his own home, he needed to take a cold shower.

Chacha wasn’t flirtatious, but once she does, it really makes people’s blood pump and simply unable to resist.

Before he went abroad, he was still confident of winning against Chacha, but as soon as he came back, he was as stupid as a young man in love— ah, no— he’s just a young man in love.

Alas, it’s melancholic.

Chacha naturally followed him. She specially set aside this Saturday to spend time with him. How could she go back so soon?

After Jiao Yushi took a shower, he changed into home clothes. Just looking at him made people want to…… take care of him like those masseur. That’d be great.

Chacha opened her hands, indicating that she wanted a hug.

Jiao Yushi sighed in his heart, feeling that he had been hit hard. He went over to hold her in his arms.

Chacha said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve had a relaxed day like this.”

“I have an essay to write.”

Chacha turned to look at him. “You’re ruining the mood.”

Jiao Yushi added, “It’ll be the same if I write it tomorrow.”

Chacha nuzzled against his neck and Jiao Yushi dodge backwards, but the person was in his arms, so where else could he hide? He couldn’t dodge so he quickly used some force on his hands to stabilize her and said, “Don’t move. You don’t want to experience more profound pleasure on the first day of our relationship, do you?”

She went along with him and stopped moving.

Jiao Yushi was unhappy again. “You mean you don’t want to do more pleasant things with me?”

“I want to.” Chacha looked at him with extremely sincere eyes. “But don’t you think it’s too soon? At least it has to be tomorrow~”

Her voice was soft and the ending was deliberately raised to sound cute. Jiao Yushi simply couldn’t bear it anymore.

However, at this moment, Chacha turned her attention to the TV and said, “It’s been a long time since I watched an idol drama, I wonder if there’s any airing right now.”

Jiao Yushi gritted his teeth. There was nothing he could do about the clingy Chacha nor could he reject any of her requests. He had to skip over the topic just now, turned on the TV and changed the channel to find an idol drama for her.

Chacha stayed with Jiao Yushi all day long. The two of them were almost inseparable. They were always stuck together, except for when going to the bathroom.

After a day of self-scorn, Jiao Yushi finally calmed down. He restrained his desire to keep Chacha at night and sent her to her unit with a smile.

Early the next morning, Jiao Yushi had a spring dream and released himself.

There was no need to say who was in the dream. He didn’t get up immediately, feeling a little nostalgic.

When Chacha came knocking on the door looking lively, gentle and considerate, he realized that the person in the dream couldn’t even compare to the real one.

Chacha brought breakfast, all of which were things he likes to eat.

Based on his observation, Chacha was the type who could eat anything and had no particular preference. So, they never had any disagreements about food.

He had to write a paper today, so Chacha didn’t disturb him. The two of them sat side by side in the study, each facing a laptop.

He was working on his paper, while Chacha was checking her business email and dealing with unprocessed documents.

If they were tired, they would hug and kiss and talk for a few minutes. The two of them never run out of common topics.

However, they were very restrained and resumed their work after regaining their energy.

After working hard, they each finished their tasks.

Chacha stood up after stretching. She apologetically said, “Sorry, I have to go to the Chen family’s house for dinner tonight.”

Jiao Yushi stared at her silently.

Chacha leaned over, cupped his cheek and kissed his pouting lips. “Be good, I’ll try to come back as soon as possible.”

Jiao Yushi nodded and said, “It can’t be helped, I can only wait for you.”

Chacha smiled. “Don’t try to make me feel guilty with such a pitiful tone because it won’t work.”

Jiao Yushi said, “Why not? Don’t you think I’m pitiful?”

“You’ve finished writing your essay, but what about the work you’ve missed this month? There are still piles of documents that needed to be dealt with, right? I don’t think you’ll even have time to think about me.”

Jiao Yushi patted her shoulder and like a veteran cadre^[1]an old-school and rigorous person, said, “Don’t worry, this female classmate, I’ll think of you while processing every single document.”

Chacha said, “Okay, then I’ll leave first.”

Jiao Yushi sent her downstairs and watched her car leave before going upstairs reluctantly.

———pr

The Chen family mansion was a two-hour drive away from where Chacha was currently staying, and that wasn’t even adding the time spent in traffic. Therefore, Chacha set off early, yet when she arrived, it was still already seven in the evening.

Chacha drove inside the famous villa area that uses face recognition. Passing through the main road and turning in a fork ahead, she entered a wide tree lined path.

After passing by the trees, her eyes were greeted by a large expanse of lawn and garden, extending far away into the house in the distance.

It was in the style of an English castle but was slightly different and was more updated.

Chacha drove straight towards the driveway and parked in front of the main entrance. As soon as the car stopped, someone came to greet her.

The other person was a middle-aged man, wearing a suit with a black bow tied around his neck. His back was straight and he looked very presentable.

After getting off the car, Chacha gave him the key, which he took. He bowed slightly and said, “Young Miss, the masters and the madams have been waiting for you for a long time.”

“En.” Chacha said with a smile, “Sorry, there’s a traffic jam so I’m a little late.”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and then led her into the hall and into the dining room.

The dining room has an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling windows with roses planted outside. The flowering season was about to pass, and now there were only a few pitiful little flowers blooming.

Five people were already seated at the table. When they saw her coming, they all stood up and greeted her in a solemn way.

Chacha showed no shyness and gave a perfect smile. She walked to the seat opposite Chen Yingge and next to Cheng Yufei, sat down, and repeated, “Sorry, there’s a traffic jam so I came a bit late.”

Everyone nodded, accepting her reason.

But even if they couldn’t accept it, they couldn’t say it out loud. This dinner was to welcome her home, not a feast at Hongmen^[2]banquet set up with the aim of murdering a guest.

Except for Chen Yingge and Cheng Yufei, it was Chacha’s first time meeting the others. The old man has a strong aura, but reserved. If he doesn’t appear insensitive, he would look like the usual kind old man. The old lady looked a little more indifferent, but in fact, it felt like she just couldn’t be bothered about external affairs anymore and could see through everything. Father Chen must be that kind of workaholic.

Chacha observed everyone while they also observed her.

She’s more real on Weibo, or in other words, she appears to be more youthful and energetic online.

Face to face, she’s a cultured, mature and stable person who wasn’t afraid of things. She has no shortcomings, so to speak, but lacks the vitality of young people.

When Chacha arrived, Old Master Chen signaled the butler to serve the food.

Tea was served first, the Chen family generally doesn’t drink alcohol. It was followed by the side dishes, then the main course was also served.

A large table was set up, offering a wide range of delicacies such as those that swim in the water, run on the fields, fly in the sky, and grow on the ground.

During the dinner, the Chen family members wanted to be as nice as possible and kindly asked Chacha some questions, which she answered one by one.

Chacha’s behavior was appropriate and natural, neither flattering nor appearing distant. Just like having a meal with people she had just met. There was nothing special about it.

Right, precisely because there’s nothing special about her actions that the Chen family felt that Chacha still held a grudge against what happened before. Otherwise, why would she so polite?

After dinner, Chacha bid her farewell.

Old Master Chen said, “In a few days, your identity will be announced.”

Chacha smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

Old Master Chen added, “Don’t worry about the rest, leave it all to Yingge.”

Chacha continued to smile and nod.

Old Master Chen could tell that she really wanted to leave and felt a little depressed. He waved his hand and said, “Go ahead.”

“En, goodbye.” After saying so, Chacha left without any lingering feelings.

Everyone: “……” Sad.

You want to leave early. Are you dissatisfied with our attitude or the decoration style here?
