Chapter 70: Think About Why You’re Standing Here Earnestly and Letting Me Kiss You (Young Master Cheng’s Confession)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As long as she heard his voice, her heart would become calm, every single time. Whatever fear or nervousness that she had would disappear immediately.

Song Yu raised her head and saw Qi Chengzhi’s stern but handsome face from the side. At night, Dynasty was fully lit with lights, but no matter how brightly it shone, it was no match for day time because the duskiness of the night was still present.

Under the luminous light, the shadows appeared to enhance the contours of his face.

She did not know when he took off his glasses, but the interweaving of light and darkness on his face made his eyes look even more enigmatic.

From her point of view, he was like the painting of a great master who skilfully used lighting to its best effect.

As Song Yu stared blankly, Qi Chengzhi lowered his head abruptly and kissed her lips while walking.

Song Yu opened her eyes in bewilderment and felt his tongue tunnelling in. She was a hapless recipient of the kiss, but her hands unwittingly grabbed the back of his head tightly.

She actually wanted to push him away, but for some reason, she pressed on the back of his head and allowed him to kiss even deeper.

After what seemed like a long time, he released her, leaving both of them gasping frantically for air.

His face was close to hers, so both their breaths were entwined with one another.

Looking up, she saw a fire burning wildly in his calm eyes, and it made her shudder uncontrollably.

…

…

Back at the banquet hall Jian Yi could not resist searching for Song Yu. He searched and searched, but was unable to find her.

After searching the place once, he noticed that Qi Chengzhi was gone as well.

Jian Yi’s face turned sour. How coincidental that both of them were not there. He could not help but let his imagination run wild.

With a malicious expression, Jian Yi followed Qi Chengyue around. He allowed her to introduce him to all the company bosses or their sons.

“Where’s my big brother?” After a round of introductions, Qi Chengyue decided to formally introduce Jian Yi to Qi Chengzhi, but not in the capacity of superior and subordinate. She wanted to introduce him as a future addition to the Qi family: as her boyfriend and fiancé.

They searched for quite some time but were unable to locate him so she pulled over Cheng Dongge and asked.

Jian Yi’s ears perked up. Cheng Dongge glimpsed furtively at Jian Yi and replied calmly, as though he knew nothing, “A client just called him upon arriving at B City. It’s a really important client, so Young Master Cheng left to make a personal visit.”

Once he heard those words, Jian Yi’s expression gradually relaxed.

Qi Chengyue did not notice that Qi Chengzhi was gone. She did not respond to Cheng Dongge but turned to wrap her hand around Jian Yi’s arm. She pouted and said amorously, “I wanted to formally introduce you to my big brother, so he’ll stop treating you as an ordinary employee. Seems like there’s no chance for me to do so today.”

“There will be another chance in the future.” Jian Yi smiled plainly and touched her hair gently. “Anyway, everyone here already knows about us, right?”

“You’re right.” Qi Chengyue then giggled happily. “How about, you come home with me for the Lunar New Year? On the Lunar New Year’s Eve, we’re all going to our grandfather’s place, so when we’re celebrating there, I’ll formally introduce you to my family.”

“I’m alright with that, but I’m just worried about your family’s impression toward me. I’m worried that they might think I’m using you and claiming connections with the high-class people in your family.” He smiled nervously.

“They won’t.” Qi Chengyue shook his arm. “My grandfather is a good person. He won’t be biased toward any familial status and he especially likes those youngsters who make progress through their hard work. My elder uncle and my parents, they’re a bit stern, but my parents loved me dearly since I was a child. My parents were really frightened when my third brother was murdered by his wife, so they won’t force their children to get married. So, as long as I like you, they won’t say no.”

“Okay.” Jian Yi smiled with warmth in his eyes.

…

…

Ruan Danchen held her plate and sat at her corner, observing Qi Chengyue pulling on Jian Yi intimately and introducing him to all the upper-class figures. She also saw how they acted with each other as if no one was around them: Qi Chengyue was almost throwing herself on top of Jian Yi.

She frowned because she always thought that Song Yu and Jian Yi were together. Even if they never openly mentioned it before, there were certainly some feelings between them, because no man would ever care so much for someone who did not matter to them.

However, from what she saw that day Jian Yi seemed to be together with Qi Chengyue!

The both of them had even announced their relationship publicly.

Almost immediately, Ruan Danchen remembered when Jian Yi blocked Song Yu earlier that afternoon. Song Yu’s face was unhappy, as if dreading to see Jian Yi.

Soon enough, Ruan Danchen connected the dots. Her face sunk and she muttered, “Heartless rat.” She then ceased looking at Jian Yi and Qi Chengyue. She feared that if she continued to do so all the delicious and expensive seafood that she ate might be vomited out.

…

…

Qi Chengzhi drove to Song Yu’s apartment building. His presence in the car was undoubtedly strong, his aura was still as dense.

Throughout the journey, Song Yu failed to calm herself down. Instead, her heart turned even more frenetic, her brain could not resist but to replay the scene of their kiss.

Her skin remained warm, the feeling of his lips on his skin was still very much clear. Even at that time, it felt to her as though his lips were pasted warmly and moistly against her skin.

Having endured the journey with great difficulty, she hurriedly unbuckled her seat belt.

However, his influence made her hand tremble severely. In that moment the seat belt – which she usually would have managed to take off with ease– appeared to oppose, making it hard for her to unbuckle it no matter what she tried to do.

The more anxious she became, the more flustered her heart was. It caused her hand movements to become more and more jittery. She was quivering from head to toe. No matter what she did, the seatbelt would not come off.

All of a sudden, she felt him come closer, and a thick shadow was cast over her head.

His breath brushed against the top of her head, her scalp felt so warm that it could blow up at any time.

Song Yu’s breathing turned urgent, heavy, and panicky. She need not lift her head to know that he was staring at her with a heated gaze.

As his breaths landed on her forehead, she felt unable to open her eyes.

With heavy eyelids, she saw his slender hands reach out and touch her hand.

Song Yu retracted her hand as though she came into contact with something scalding. With a simple ‘pa-ta’, Qi Chengzhi released the seatbelt for her.

“Thank…” She lifted her head to thank him but her voice was suddenly halted. Her next word, which was ‘you’, had been eaten up by Qi Chengzhi’s gaze.

Her gentle lips trembled for a moment, she then gulped abruptly. Her body motioned backward unconsciously, but she still felt trapped.

Qi Chengzhi’s gaze was dazzling and luminous in the night; it had a strong, intrusive quality to it, causing her to feel like she was clutching a piece of driftwood in the middle of a stormy sea.

“Young Master Cheng…” Song Yu mustered up the courage and called out stubbornly. She kept her head low and did not dare to see him.

“Back at Dynasty you called me Qi Chengzhi. Now, you’re calling me Young Master Cheng. Are all women this fickle?” he muttered. His breath touched her lips, which was then filled with his energy. Nothing she did could make it go away.

“We…we can’t do this.” Her breathing became irregular because she was unable to avoid his scalding breath.

“We can’t do what? You and I are both single. What is it that we can’t do?” Qi Chengzhi stared intently at her. His deep voice turning seductive and sweet-sounding as they go into the night.

He looked at Song Yu’s half-lowered face, the entirety of which was flushed with red. Her long lashes covered her water-filled eyes gently. They were capable of enticing people, but she was unaware of that quality.

Her lower lip was still swollen and tinted with blood. Qi Chengzhi saw them and felt restlessly frisky; his Adam’s apple slid up and down his throat and the fire in his heart was shouting at him to devour her.

The redness of her cheek caused two sets of vigorous flames to form in Qi Chengzhi’s eyes.

“There’s the fact that I was engaged to Qi Chengji in the past. You’re his elder brother. It wouldn’t be nice for word of our relationship to be made public. Also, my current family background is wholly incompatible with you. One day, you’ll get married to someone who is on the same level as you. As for myself, I’ll take it very seriously if there’s feelings involved. I’m not someone who wants to play around. If Young Master Cheng simply wants to relieve his boredom…”

“If I were you I’d shut my mouth right now.” Qi Chengzhi’s voice turned cold. Song Yu’s head still remained low but she could feel that his gaze had turned frigid.

Qi Chengzi released his seatbelt and subconsciously fished for a cigarette. His hands were already placed in his pocket but they came out empty handed.

“I’ll send you up.” Qi Chengzhi’s voice remained indifferent. It was vastly different from the passion he previously had. Which led Song Yu’s body to also turn cold as a result.

“No need. I’ll go up myself,” she declined.

As soon as those words escaped her lips Qi Chengzhi’s stone-cold eyes looked at her.

It was that precise gaze that she feared, where there was nothing but silence and the deep stares of his abstruse eyes. The stare was firm, unblinking and sufficient to make a person yield in surrender.

Song Yu’s mind became a mess from his stare. She dared not reject any further then simply looked down and opened the car door.

She heard the sound of another door closing behind her and she knew that he had gotten out of the car.

She walked straight on and entered the building without looking back. She heard footsteps behind her but didn’t need to look back to know that he was following her as she can smell the scent of his fresh fragrance.

In truth, she used to be afraid whenever she went home by herself.

The building was empty and there was always a possibility that some unsavory character was lurking in the darkness.

With Qi Chengzhi following behind her though, she felt unnaturally calm.

Once she reached her home on the fourth floor she searched for the key in her handbag, which she used specifically to complement her dress. The handbag was not too big and the space inside was small, so there was only some money, her cell phone, and her keys inside.

However, her hands searched around for quite some time even though it was a simple item.

Qi Chengzhi stood closely behind her and held her shoulders. He did not make any sound and yet she was incredibly nervous.

Song Yu swallowed her saliva, as if wanting to push her nervousness back down too.

Finally, she found the keys but no matter what she did, she was unable to properly place the key inside the keyhole.

After another long period of time, she finally managed to insert the key.

Before she could open the door Qi Chengzhi held her shoulder and turned her around.

He pushed her back against the door and his cold, dry lips came surging forward. His tongue had just touched the corner of her lips when she opened her shivering lips involuntarily.

Her submissiveness aroused him greatly and he used even more force to kiss her. The back of her head was pressed tight against the door and she was unable to move. His tongue was possessing her wilfully.

Sometime later, he loosened his grip and was about to release her.

However, she moaned helplessly and that made him so excited that he kissed her with all his might once again.

Qi Chengzhi kissed her to the point where he was unable to breathe properly. His forehead was lightly touching hers and he looked down at her graceful, bewitching, and lustful expression. Unable to control himself, he looked down again, saw her reddened cheek, then kissed her again and again.

The more he kissed, the redder her face became, and it seemed as though he could not stop kissing.

“You and Chengji were only engaged back then. Even if you got married but you divorced, do you mean to say that I can’t chase after you if I wanted to?” His lips were plastered against the corner of hers, and breathed deeply as he murmured.

The gloomy and near-tantalizing voice turned much hoarser. The sudden change to maturity tugged at her heartstrings.

“Think about it carefully. After all these years, has there ever been a woman by my side? If I wanted to play around, why would I wait until this moment?” he uttered softly. In between words, his breath landed on and entered her lips.

It was not only his breath that made Song Yu’s heart confused. It was his words too. She was trembling in his embrace like a sieve.

“About this new hotel, I personally wanted to be responsible because you were the architect that Chengshi sent over. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have personally stepped forward, even if it were a seven-star hotel.” Both his lips were rubbing against the corner of her lips, and she felt that the exact spot was particularly hot.

“When Wang Liwei took the business away from you, I chose not to sign the contract with Chengshi and even sent word that I won’t be working together with Chengshi. If Qilin decides to run Chengshi to the ground, many companies will side with Qilin, so Director Zhao and Wang Liwei had no choice but to apologize and give the business back to you.”

“But I was worried that other people might gossip about you and say that you got the business by some underhanded means. They might ask why I insisted on you and rejected Wang Liwei. They might ask why I immediately signed the contract when you were reinstated. In light of that, I made it look like it was a fair competition and brought you on a business trip.”

“At night, Guan Xiaolin looked for me and told me her innermost thoughts, but I sent her on her way. Like I said, if I wanted to, there’s plenty of women who would offer themselves to me. They’d be willing to even if it wasn’t business related. Guan Xiaolin was one of them, but I didn’t want it.”

“Zhao Rongcheng’s wife came back to the country yes? How do you think she knew about Wang Liwei?” Qi Chengzhi could not resist kissing her soft lips once more.

As both their lips touched each other, he softly muttered, “Song Yu, I said a lot of things. Think about them. And also, think about why you’re standing here earnestly and letting me kiss you. Think about all that. Think clearly.”

He kissed her a few times before standing up straight. His hand went across Song Yu’s waist and he held the key that was inserted into the keyhole. With a turn, the door was opened.

“Go in then.” His voice was hoarse, but there was also a touch of gentleness within. It was like the mumbling of a lover.

Song Yu had long lost her sense of reason from hearing the words he said. She was unwittingly pushed into her house, but she did not hear the door close behind her.

Qi Chengzhi took out the key from the keyhole and with one smooth movement and placed them into his pants pocket as he turned to leave the building.

A smile formed at the corner of his lips and there was an indescribable happiness to his mood.

…

…

Song Yu seemed to have lost all her senses as she walked unfeelingly into her bedroom.

It was only when her legs came into contact with her bed sheet that she fell onto the bed.

Qi Chengzhi’s words had left an explosion in her heart.

It was like he had cast a net and gathered it back when she was slowly caught in it.

‘You and Chengji were only engaged back then. Even if you got married but you divorced, do you mean to say that I can’t chase after you if I wanted to?’

Did it mean that he was chasing after her?

In order to chase her, he expended a considerable amount of energy to move each chess piece to get close to her.

Song Yu was ineffably shocked. What did she have that was worth that much of Qi Chengzhi’s effort?

He could even bring back Director Zhao’s wife.

Although Wang Liwei suffered a terrible downfall, Song Yu had no pity for her, because such a predicament would not have befallen her if she did not willingly become a married man’s mistress. For that, she only has herself to blame.
