224 The Happiness in Bed Doesn’t Last Forever

“I’m watching a fight.” Lin Jiao picked up her bag and walked out with Pei Yilan. “You’re in Nan Yu?”

“In five more minutes.”

“Then we’ll go downstairs.”

Pei Zhi picked them up at the entrance of Nan Yu hotel.

In order to avoid being too crowded, he let Pei Yilan sit in the front passenger seat and opened the door to the back seat.

“Honey, how much did you drink tonight?” He leaned close to her neck, and the faint fragrance of cypress overwhelmed Lin Jiao.

“Five or six glasses of champagne.”

“Jiaojiao, tell me quickly.” Pei Yilan, who was waiting to hear the gossip, turned around. “Why did Gu Quan and the others fall out?”

“Su Tian and He Qi got together.”

“Oh my god!” Qu Shao and Pei Yilan said in unison. The former slowed down the car. “How did he find out?”

“He bumped into them at the restaurant.” Lin Jiao repeated the conversation with Gu Quan and mentioned He Qi’s provocation.

“I wasn’t going to interfere, but he was so disgusting, I couldn’t help myself.”

Pei Yilan crossed her arms and sneered. “He Qi and Su Tian are really a nasty couple. I regret not hitting him a few more times.”

“You guys even fought with him?”

“Jiaojiao slapped him. I hit him a few times with the dice cup, then Gu Quan hit him again.”

Pei Zhi looked at her sideways. “Did he scold you?”

“I scolded him a little.” Lin Jiao leaned into Pei Zhi’s arms and smiled. “Anyway, I taught him a lesson.”

“One slap isn’t enough.”

“Then I’ll slap him twice next time?”

“Good idea.” He leaned against the top of her head, his narrow eyes dark as an abyss in the dim light.

Qu Shao, who was looking at him through the rearview mirror, had goosebumps because of Pei Zhi’s gaze. He thought to himself that some people were going to be unlucky.

He sent Pei Yilan to Ming Xin Mansion before driving to the Red Maple Forest. He hinted, “Boss, are you going to deal with them tonight?”

“Tomorrow.” Pei Zhi held Lin Jiao’s hand and said goodbye to Qu Shao before disappearing into the elevator.

When they got home, they took off their down jackets and sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking a cup of freshly brewed black tea.

The steam from the cup rose and brushed past Lin Jiao’s eyelashes, enveloping her pure and lustful fox eyes.

“Hubby.” She licked the water from her lips and looked up to meet his gaze. “Why are there so many people who are unfaithful to their relationships?”

“Because they are fickles, and there are many people throwing themselves at them, it’s very easy for them to not be able to resist the temptation.”

“But are they really happy?”

“It’s just a moment of happiness.” Pei Zhi stroked her long hair. “The time in bed can’t last forever.”

Lin Jiao thought of the old Zhou Yanshen.

Although he was not disloyal or betrayed people, he always lived a thrill-seeking life.

She put down the cup and leaned into his arms. Her fair fingertips landed on his collar. “It’s rare to see someone as loyal as you.”

Pei Zhi lowered his eyes. “I’m not loyal.”

His serious expression stunned Lin Jiao. She couldn’t help but wonder if she had heard wrongly.

She flexed her knuckles. “What do you mean?”

“I like every aspect of you.” Pei Zhi kissed her lips. “Especially when you wear a nightgown and seduce me.”

His hot breath brushed against her skin, and Lin Jiao was immersed in his eyes.

She bit his Adam’s apple and glared at him as intimidatingly as before. “Don’t tease me with such things.”

Pei Zhi agreed gently. “Honey.” He would not let go of any chance to act pitiful. “It hurts.”

“There are no teeth marks. Why does it hurt?”

“It really hurts.”

Lin Jiao kissed his Adam’s apple. “Does it still hurt?” When her soft lips approached, it was as if there was a fine electric current drilling into his skin.

“Are you seducing me again?”

“Why is that seducing you?”

“You are seducing me.”

Ever since they officially started dating, her being within five meters of him was a temptation to him.

Seeing that his eyes gradually darkened, Lin Jiao’s face turned hot. She could vaguely guess what was going to happen next.

She hesitated for two seconds before climbing onto his neck. “I’m hungry now. Can you cook a bowl of noodles for me?”

Pei Zhi smiled. “Okay.” His fingers caressed her earlobe. “Take a shower first. You can eat when you’re done.”

The words that were emphasized made one’s imagination run wild.

With a red face, Lin Jiao broke free from the restraint around her waist and walked towards the master bedroom without saying a word.

She took forty minutes to shower and remove her makeup. In the end, she only wore a wine-red silk bathrobe and appeared in front of him.

“Hubby, aren’t you eating?” She sat cross-legged on the carpet. Her fair legs were especially eye-catching under the warm light.

“I’m not hungry for the time being.” Pei Zhi took two sips of water to ease the dryness in his throat. “Eat slowly. I’ll wash the bowls.”

Lin Jiao nodded without replying.

She rolled up a mouthful of noodles and focused her attention on the LCD screen.

The sound of water in the bathroom had stopped.

Pei Zhi, who had come out of the master bedroom, picked up the empty bowl and held her hand. “Honey, will you accompany me to the kitchen?”

“You want me to watch you wash?”

“Can you?”

Of course, Lin Jiao would not refuse.

She glanced at the advertisement on the TV. She thought that she would be able to watch the next episode when she came out, but it took an hour before she could come out.

“Hubby.” She snuggled in his arms, no longer in the mood to watch the TV. “I want some juice.”

Pei Zhi tightened his grip on her waist.

He first carried her into the bedroom, then returned to the living room to pour a glass of fruit juice and fed it to her lips. “Does the grape juice taste good?”

“It’s good.”

“Let me try it.” Without giving her a chance to react, he leaned over and covered her red lips.

Suddenly, Lin Jiao was pulled into his gentle trap again. She had nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

Buzz—Buzz—

The phone on the bedside table rang at noon.

Lin Jiao patted him with sleepy eyes. “Hubby, who is calling?”

“I don’t know.” Pei Zhi picked up his phone and looked at the unknown number on the screen. “Do you want to answer it?”

“Give it to me.” Lin Jiao cleared her throat.

The moment she pressed the answer button, a familiar yet unfamiliar female voice sounded from the receiver. “Miss Lin, are you free to talk?”

“And you are?”

“Su Tian.” Su Tian had heard about the engagement party from He Qi and had not slept for almost the entire night.

She had a feeling that if Lin Jiao appeared in front of Gu Quan again, the chances of them reconciling would be even lower.

Therefore, when it was noon, she borrowed the nanny’s phone to call Lin Jiao. She really couldn’t wait.

“Why?” Lin Jiao’s attitude changed the moment Su Tian introduced herself. “Do you want He Qi to push me again?”
