Chapter 245: Chapter 245 - 245 Isn’t It Sweeter Than Me

245 Isn’t It Sweeter Than Me

Cold air gushed out of the air conditioner, blowing against the gray curtains that were pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window.

Lin Jiao, who was in the dominant position, suddenly felt excited. She did not think know the consequences at all.

She touched that god-like face and smiled smugly.

“Hubby.” She touched his thin lips and watched as the corners of his eyes turned red. “Do you want to eat peaches?”

!!

Pei Zhi gulped. “Yes.”

“Then give me a minute.” She ran barefoot to the kitchen and took out a peach from the fridge.

The pink peach was the size of her palm. As soon as she brought it to her nose, she could smell the sweet fragrance.

Lin Jiao bit off a piece of it and slowly brought it to his lips, watching him chew and swallow.

She smiled. “Is it sweeter than me?”

“You’re the sweetest.” Pei Zhi stared at her sparkling lips, his voice a little hoarse.

He was not in the mood to admire her eating peaches. With a twist of his wrist, he broke free from the restraints and grabbed her slender waist tightly.

Lin Jiao was caught off guard by his sudden action.

Before she could react, the world spun and the peach in her hand accidentally fell to the ground.

Half a peach lay quietly in the shadow of the sun, not picked up until dusk fell.

Similar things happened frequently in the following days. Lin Jiao, who had been fooled several times, decided to teach him a lesson.

She returned to the Lin family a week before the wedding. No matter how he coaxed her, she refused to sleep with him.

“Honey.” Pei Zhi video-called her every night. “I miss you so much.”

His voice was filled with longing, like a rooted vine that wrapped around Lin Jiao’s heart.

“Didn’t we just meet this afternoon?” She lay on the bed and stroked his eyebrows through the screen.

“It’s different.” His gaze moved down to her fair collarbone. “I can’t sleep well without you.”

“Try drinking a glass of milk before going to bed.”

“It’s useless even if I drink two glasses.”

Lin Jiao pursed her lips. “Then come over now?” It had been nearly five days since she last lay in his arms. She really missed him.

“Honey, you’re the best.” Pei Zhi kissed the camera.

He rushed to the Lin family and caught the person who jumped into his arms. “Are they asleep?”

“Yes.” Lin Jiao hung on him like an octopus and let him carry her upstairs. “Why aren’t you wearing a sweater? Aren’t you cold?”

“I’m not cold.” Pei Zhi came in a hurry. He was only wearing loungewear under his coat.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, he could not feel the coldness. He only wanted to hug his wife to sleep.

His hand brushed past Lin Jiao’s skin, and her heart skipped a beat.

She listened to the sound of the door being locked. Before she could say a word, he kissed her passionately.

“Hubby…” She fell onto the bed and leaned back. “I have to wear a wedding dress the day after tomorrow.”

Pei Zhi naturally understood what she meant.

Under the dim light, he used his thin lips to trace her face, releasing his uncontrollable love for her before falling in ecstasy with her.

The night light was on until two in the morning. They hugged each other under the warm blanket and fell asleep feeling each other’s warmth.

On October 15th, the guests attending the wedding went to Rose Manor to congratulate the newlywed.

The beautiful roses bloomed in the most beautiful manner, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air.

Shen Yi and Zhou Yanshen stood in front of the door and smiled at the guests. Occasionally, they would exchange a few pleasantries before getting the waiter to lead them to their seats.

“President Pei is too influential.” Zhou Yanshen looked around and lowered his voice. “Three politicians are here so far.”

“More than that.” Shen Yi put down the champagne glass and pointed at the middle-aged man and woman sitting in the second row. “They’re colleagues with my father.”

“Their daughter is not bad.” Zhou Yanshen instantly changed the topic. “Are you interested?”

“No.”

“What about the one on the right in the third row?”

“She’s not my type.” Shen Yi retracted his gaze and asked Chu Yuzhou to come over. “I’m going to the washroom.”

He raised his wrist to glance at the watch. Before he could take two steps forward, a figure bumped into him.

“I’m sorry.” Xi Wen looked up and blushed when she saw that handsome face. “I didn’t mean to.”

The moment she looked over, Shen Yi felt like a stone had been thrown into his calm heart, causing a ripple to spread uncontrollably.

He calmed himself down. “Are you ok?”

“I sprained my ankle.” Xi Wen endured the pain, her clear eyes slightly red.

“Can I see it?”

“Yes.” She lowered her eyes and looked at the man squatting in front of her. “Sorry to trouble you.”

“It’s fine.” Shen Yi placed his hand on her ankle. “Put your hand on my shoulder and raise your left foot.”

Xi Wen did as she was told.

She could feel the warmth of his palm on her ankle and the heart was in a mess.

...

“Is it serious?” Her palms were covered in sweat, and she almost lost her balance.

Shen Yi quickly helped her up. “It’s fine.” He slowly stood up. “You’ll be fine after applying ointment for two days.”
