Qin Yinan stood beside the bed and struggled to get out from his suit before stepping into the bathroom. When the sound of water started, Cheng Qingchong turned out of the bedroom to grab a glass of warm water from the kitchen.
After Qin Yinan got out from the shower, he jumped into bed without even drying his hair. Afraid that he might catch a cold, Cheng Qingchong rushed into the bathroom to grab a dry towel to daub his hair dry before taking the hair-dryer to blow it dry.
Qin Yinan didn’t stop Cheng Qingchong as she busied herself over him. With his eyes closed, he appeared to be sleeping, but in reality, he was so awake that he could feel the intimate feeling as her fingers coursed through his hair.
When she was done, Cheng Qingchong pulled away the wet pillow and replaced it with another dry one. Then she stood up to cover him under the comforter.
Qin Yinan didn’t open his eyes once. Since he looked like he was sleeping, Cheng Qingchong dared herself to carefully study the man’s face. Eventually, she slowly stood up, grabbing the hair-dryer that she had left on the bedside table. As she turned to leave, Qin Yinan suddenly reached out to grab her wrist.
Cheng Qingchong froze before slowly turning around.
The man still had his eyes closed, but his lips were moving. Since his voice was so soft, Cheng Qingchong couldn’t hear him clearly, so she prompted him.
Hmm?
When he didn’t raise his volume, she lowered her head to his mouth, and it was then that she could hear him say,
I’m really happy today…
…Do you know how worried I was, how close I was to losing everything… But thankfully, it was a blessing in disguise. After being duped, fate sent me an even better opportunity, a bigger investment…
The man kept mumbling like he was talking in his sleep.
Cheng Qingchong had witnessed Qin Yinan at his drunkest, so she knew at best he was only slightly drunk then or else he wouldn’t have been able to utter those words with such startling coherence.
…I’ve not felt so good in such a long time. After I get the money, the products can finally enter the market… and I believe my product will be liked and welcomed by the public…
As he spoke, suddenly his arm pulled, and Cheng Qingchong fell into his embrace.
Perhaps… one or two years later, the company will be able to go public already…
Cheng Qingchong could sense how happy and excited he was. Leaning against his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, her lips curled into a smile, but her eyes prickled with tears.
As long as he’s happy, as long as he’s happy… this means that everything is worth it…
Qin Yinan still didn’t open his eyes. Using his sense of touch, he nuzzled his lips next to Cheng Qingchong’s ear. He placed his lips on her ear and whispered satisfactorily,
Are you happy for me?
Without waiting for her answer, he pressed,
Are you? Are you?
Cheng Qingchong swallowed the choking feeling in her throat and softly replied,
Of course, I am.
Afraid that he might not hear her, she added after a pause,
I’m very happy for you.
As she said so, Qin Yinan’s lip trailed down her jaw and brushed against her lips. His skin touched hers for a second or two before he chomped down on her lips.
Cheng Qingchong widened her eyes out of both fear and shock.
