Si Moyan's fair ears turned slightly red.
His eyes darkened a fraction as he looked at Wen Yan, his sexy Adam's apple bobbing unconsciously.
He leaned in, close to Wen Yan's ear, and lowered his voice. "Let's go back to the apartment tonight."
Not the villa, but the apartment.
Wen Jinglou and Wen Xiaoshu had followed Old Rex back to Country S, so the two of them could be alone.
Wen Yan blinked.
Could it be that the way she looked at him just now was too passionate, and he had read her mind?
"Everyone is looking at us. Don't speak right into my ear," Wen Yan nudged him gently with her elbow.
The man chuckled softly.
His laugh was mellow and magnetic, like a vintage French wine, intoxicating and mesmerizing.
Gu Beichen watched this scene from afar, almost grinding his teeth to dust.
Originally, he had begged Wen Yue, and the two had gotten back together.
He thought he could surpass Si Moyan now, but before he could even be happy for two days, his beautiful dream was shattered.
To coax Wen Yue, he had Si Jinxiao sell 5 percent of the Si Group's shares to her.
Now, he hadn't gotten the money, the shares were gone, and Wen Yue was dead.
He had truly suffered a double loss.
"President Si, can small companies like ours really cooperate with you?"
Si Moyan nodded and handed the contracts to those people. "I am grateful for your strong support when I was down and out. Your kindness will be duly rewarded."
Seeing the contracts handed over by Si Moyan, Xu Shang and the others had eyes full of gratitude and excitement.
After they publicly took Si Moyan's side at that business gathering, Wen Yue had threatened to bankrupt them and leave them with no room to survive in Ye City.
These past few days, they had been walking on thin ice, already prepared for bankruptcy.
But who knew that there would be light at the end of the tunnel?
Si Moyan was indeed a business genius. How could Wen Yue ever compare to his abilities and methods!
Fortunately, they hadn't chosen the wrong side!
"President Si, we were wrong last time. Please be the bigger person and give us another chance to cooperate!"
Si Moyan's face was freezing cold. "I believe you will have better choices."
The bosses who had offended Si Moyan all looked sickly pale.
The ones who dared least to face Si Moyan were Jiang Yufeng and Song Wenjing.
They were his childhood friends who had grown up with him, yet they had abandoned him when he was suppressed and kicked while he was down.
Jiang Yufeng and Song Wenjing lowered their heads in shame and hurriedly left the banquet hall.
After signing the contracts with Xu Shang and those few companies, Si Moyan left with Wen Yan.
The two returned to the apartment.
"Hubby, do you want some wine?"
Si Moyan gave a low hum of agreement.
Wen Yan walked to the bar counter and opened a bottle of red wine.
Si Moyan turned on the phonograph in the living room, and melodious classical music began to play.
The man sat at the bar counter, and Wen Yan poured him a glass of red wine.
"Hubby, these past few days feel like a dream."
Si Moyan clinked glasses with Wen Yan. "Me too."
After taking a sip of wine, their gazes intertwined.
Wen Yan looked at his face, which appeared even more handsome and charming under the orange light, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened. "When we got out of the car earlier, I saw you grab something from inside. What did you take?"
The man took a small box out of his pants pocket.
Seeing what he held in his hand, Wen Yan's fair and bright face unconsciously flushed. "Why did you keep condoms in the car?"
When did he prepare them? She had no idea at all.
Perhaps seeing through her inner doubts, he said in a low voice, "I bought them last time we went to the hot springs."
Thinking of how they had an argument during their last hot spring trip, Wen Yan's long eyelashes fluttered gently. She said in a soft and charming voice, "We won't argue this time."
She took another sip of red wine and stood up. "I'll go take a shower first."
Si Moyan's eyes darkened. "Okay."
Wen Yan showered in the master bedroom's en-suite bathroom, while Si Moyan used the guest bathroom.
Both of them were full of a sense of ceremony.
After Si Moyan finished his shower, Wen Yan hadn't come out yet. Si Jingyi came over with the things he had asked for.
"Big brother, are you going to spend your belated wedding night with sister-in-law tonight?"
Si Moyan took the items Si Jingyi brought, said nothing, and directly slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
...
After her shower, Wen Yan put on a red slip dress.
The thin straps traced her slender, fair shoulders. Her neck was elegant, her collarbones delicate, and her waist was impossibly slim. Beneath the hem of the dress, her two long legs were perfectly proportioned and beautifully shaped.
Her slightly damp long hair draped over her shoulders. Her face was free of makeup, and her skin was rosy and white in the steam's mist.
Wen Yan stood in front of the mirror in the walk-in closet and took a look.
Only after feeling satisfied with herself did she walk out.
The living room had been rearranged by the man.
A bouquet of fresh, vibrant roses had appeared on the coffee table at some point, with an exquisite jewelry box placed next to it.
The living room lights were turned off, and he had lit candles.
The flickering candlelight gave rise to a sense of romance.
Wen Yan blinked. "Did you just set this up?"
Si Moyan gave a low hum. "I had Second Boy bring these things over."
As he spoke, his deep black eyes looked toward her.
His gaze fell on her graceful curves, and his eyes darkened.
Wen Yan also noticed his attire.
Wow.
He was actually wearing the sapphire blue dress pants she had bought for him previously, along with a V-neck black silk shirt.
His sexy collarbones and a small patch of his chest were slightly exposed, looking incredibly alluring and seductive.
Si Moyan picked up the jewelry box and opened it. Inside was a delicate and beautiful necklace.
A smile curved on Wen Yan's lips. "Hubby, put it on for me."
Si Moyan lifted her slightly damp long hair and fastened the necklace for her.
After putting on the necklace, the two had another glass of wine.
They didn't return to the bedroom immediately; instead, they began to dance to the vintage music from the phonograph.
He clasped one of her hands tightly while his other hand wrapped around her waist.
She rested her small face against his chest, her nose catching the crisp, pleasant scent radiating from him.
It was rich and alluring.
She noticed his gaze and lifted her small face to look at him.
His narrow eyes were pitch-black, deep, and full of intense affection.
They were like two whirlpools, ready to suck a person deeply inside.
"Mrs. Si, you smell so good."
Wen Yan's heart completely lost control.
His kisses fell from the top of her head.
Her forehead, her eyes, the tip of her nose, and then her lips.
His large hand around her waist applied a little force, lifting her entire body up.
She kicked off her shoes and stepped barefoot onto his feet.
He kissed her while holding her as they danced.
"Mrs. Si, thank you for appearing in my life. Thank you for accompanying me through my lowest point. Thank you for defending me. And most of all, thank you for being willing to give yourself to me without reservation."
His voice was deep and magnetic. His scorching breath brushed past her ear, feeling like countless electric currents surging through her.
Her heart felt numb and tingly.
Her hands unconsciously wrapped around his neck. She stood on her tiptoes and took the initiative to kiss his thin lips. "Hubby, carry me to the master bedroom!"
