The next day, Song Xinya woke up in Qin Yuhe's arms.
His two arms formed a gentle barrier. Lying in his arms, the noise of the outside world faded away, and the chaos and uneasiness in her heart subsided. Suddenly, the world became quiet and peaceful.
She lay on his chest, with her lips touching his firm pectoral muscles and her nose breathing in his warm, unique scent. At this moment, the joy of their long - awaited reunion finally welled up in her heart.
Qin Yuhe, her husband, had returned from a business trip.
Song Xinya looked up and reached out to touch his face.
Her eyes traced every inch of his face.
He had a high - bridged nose, long and straight eyelashes that drooped like a delicate and elegant little fan, and bright red, thin lips that were always moist.
He was still as good - looking as ever.
Song Xinya propped her hands on his chest, maintaining a prone position, and carefully examined his face again and again.
Compared with a month ago, he seemed to have lost some weight.
The contours of his face were more sharp and three - dimensional, and his facial features looked more profound.
Maybe because he hadn't shaved last night or this morning, there was a stubble of blue on his chin.
Song Xinya reached out to touch it. "Ouch—" It was prickly.
She pinched her slightly painful fingers that had been pricked and then held his face with both hands.
He had pricked her, so he had to make it up to her.
Song Xinya leaned over and kissed Qin Yuhe on the mouth.
After the kiss, she still felt unsatisfied.
He had pricked her so painfully. One kiss as compensation was not enough. She needed another one.
Song Xinya leaned over and kissed him on the mouth again with a smacking sound.
She stuck out her pink tongue and licked his lips.
First, she sucked on his lip bead, then her tongue slowly and gently traced along his lip line, from one corner of his mouth to the other.
After licking his upper lip, she began to lick his lower lip.
His lips were so soft, warm, and moist, like jelly, and the sweetness went all the way to Song Xinya's heart.
Kissing was a strenuous activity. Moreover, in her current position, with her hands propped on his chest and her whole body weight on her two slender white arms, she was out of breath.
He had tired her out.
She had to punish him.
Then she decided to bite him as a punishment.
Song Xinya took his lower lip between her teeth, and her white teeth closed, with her sharp canine teeth digging into his lips.
"Ouch—"
A deep, lazy laugh came from his chest, making her body tremble along with it.
Qin Yuhe opened his eyes and looked at the little girl still holding his lower lip.
"You bit me so hard, Yaya."
Caught in the act, Song Xinya let go of his lip and rolled over to the side like a bouncing ball.
Qin Yuhe sat up, propping his hands behind him, and touched his lower lip with his finger. There was a distinct red bloodstain on his fingertip.
"You bit too hard, Mrs. Qin."
Song Xinya sat beside him, her embarrassed little face flushed, and her fingers twisting together. "Why did you wake up?"
Qin Yuhe said, "You bit so forcefully. It's hard for me not to wake up."
Song Xinya thought, "I shouldn't have asked."
Qin Yuhe sized up Song Xinya. After a night's rest and adjustment, her mental state was much better than yesterday.
He got out of bed, moved his sore arms, and walked to her side. His tall body leaned over, and he propped his hands on both sides of her body.
The man's aggressive hormonal aura surrounded her.
Song Xinya's heart raced.
"Are you going to bite me too?"
Qin Yuhe replied, "I'm going to carry you out for breakfast."
Song Xinya's body was lifted into the air, and a strong arm wrapped around her waist. He picked her up by the waist.
"I'm still wearing my pajamas. I haven't changed clothes yet."
Qin Yuhe said, "The kids have gone to school. There are only the two of us at home."
At the dining table, Song Xinya looked at Qin Yuhe sitting across from her and asked, "You've just returned to Jingbei from a business trip. There must be a lot of things for you to handle. Are you going to the company later?"
Qin Yuhe poured a glass of milk and placed it beside her hand, then poured one for himself. "No."
He looked at her gently with a soft gaze. "I've postponed my schedule for two days. I'll only use these two days to accompany you."
Song Xinya's heart was as sweet as honey. She took a big bite of the sandwich, and her cheeks were puffed out round.
Suddenly, she remembered that today was a weekday.
She quickly swallowed the bread in her mouth and grabbed her phone. "I haven't asked for leave from my company leader!"
Qin Yuhe took the phone out of her hand. "Have your meal well. I've already asked for leave for you."
Song Xinya picked up the glass of milk he had poured and took a big sip. "Okay, I'll have my meal well."
Meanwhile, at the company.
Zhao Yinian stood beside the empty workstation. "Why isn't Song Xinya at work today?"
Chen Siyan replied, "She's asked for leave."
Zhao Yinian asked, "Who did she ask for leave from? She didn't even tell me."
Chen Siyan said, "She told me."
Zhao Yinian said, "According to the company's regulations, employees need to get approval from me, the general manager, when asking for leave. You're just a department manager. Where did you get the right to just agree to an employee's leave request? Where do you put the company's regulations and interests? Do you know how to think about the company?"
Chen Siyan said, "Now the regulations have changed. Employees don't need approval from you, the general manager, and they don't need to fill out forms. If there's an urgent matter at home or the employee is sick, they just need to tell the department manager and they can leave. And it's paid leave, no salary will be deducted."
Zhao Yinian sneered. "Don't you think what you said is ridiculous? Which company would have such regulations? The boss must be really stupid."
Chen Siyan replied, "President Qin."
Zhao Yinian said, "Stop talking nonsense. I don't believe it."
Chen Siyan waved the chat history between him and Qin Yuhe in front of Zhao Yinian's face. "Open your big, beautiful eyes and take a good look. President Qin said it himself."
"You're just a blood - sucking capitalist. Don't think that everyone is as heartless as you. President Qin is a good boss who cares about his employees."
Zhao Yinian asked, "Why didn't President Qin contact me about the leave but sent you a message instead?"
Chen Siyan said, "President Qin doesn't want to talk to you."
After Zhao Yinian left angrily, Chen Siyan turned around and sent a message to Qin Yuhe to complain: [President Qin, just now Zhao Yinian called you stupid.]
Qin Yuhe replied: [Tell her that she's an idiot.]
Chen Siyan scurried to Zhao Yinian's office and poured more fuel on the fire. "President Qin told me to tell you that you're an idiot."
Zhao Yinian was almost fuming with rage.
All morning, Qin Yuhe accompanied Song Xinya all the time, never leaving her side. Wherever she went, he followed.
The weather today was very nice, with a pleasant temperature, neither too cold nor too hot.
Song Xinya stood up from the sofa and walked outside the house.
From the corner of her eye, she saw Qin Yuhe stand up too.
She suddenly quickened her pace and ran forward rapidly.
Qin Yuhe took big strides to chase after her.
Suddenly, Song Xinya turned around, and her delicate, fragrant body crashed into his arms. Her fair arms wrapped around his waist. "I've caught you!"
