Xu Moyan covered up her belly in embarrassment.

Wei Zilin chuckled. “You know, I was thinking about it. You’re so good at cooking, so you must’ve eaten a lot of good food. How are you still so thin?”

Her eyes fell to her lower abdomen as she said nothing. The message was clear – it turned out everything had been accumulating in her stomach.

“…” Xu Moyan puffed out her cheeks and said, “It doesn’t usually protrude. I just overate tonight, which is why it’s bulging out.”

“Then, let’s eat some more.” Wei Zilin said eagerly, as if he really wanted see her with a small belly.

Xu Moyan, “…”

…

After the two had finished eating, Xu Moyan insisted Wei Zilin go back and rest as he had been busy the whole day and had not had a break since returning. He initially wanted to spend more time with Xu Moyan, but although the next day was Sunday, he still had to go back to the company.

Wei Zilin glanced at the time and saw that it was already past midnight. Moreover, the distance from the Red Roof back to the city center was indeed a little far, so he agreed.

On their journey back, Xu Moyan received a call from Zheng Yuntong.

“Moyan, are you not home? I came back and saw that you were gone. Where did you go?” Zheng Yuntong sounded anxious as she was afraid Xu Moyan would do something stupid. “I need to tell you something. I asked Shen Zongyi something, but since his phone was switched off because he was on the plane, I couldn’t get through to him earlier. He said that the boss was not with Liang Wenyin. Liang Wenyin went to G City by herself, and that the boss was unaware of it. The photo at noon was a coincidence. It sounds hard to believe, but it’s true. Please believe me. Stop letting your imagination run wild.”

“I got it.” Xu Moyan could not help but laugh. Then, she turned her head to glance at Wei Zilin. “Don’t worry about me.”

Wei Zilin had no idea what Zheng Yuntong was saying, but as he saw Xu Moyan looking toward him, he smiled at her.

Xu Moyan’s heart quivered at the sight of this, and she immediately turned back. Her face was scalding hot when she heard Zheng Yuntong say, “Then, you should come home quickly. It’s too dangerous to walk outside on your own in the middle of the night. Where are you now? I’ll come to pick you up with Shen Zongyi. I just reached home, so he probably hasn’t gone too far.”

“Don’t worry about me. I’m not alone. I…” Xu Moyan finally realized what Zheng Yuntong was feeling the day that Shen Zongyi had confessed to her. “I’m with Wei Zilin now.”

“What?” Zheng Yuntong astonishingly said in a shrill tone. Xu Moyan was so dumbfounded by her screech that she was forced to pull the phone away from her ear for a brief moment. “You went to look for our boss?! Moyan, I salute you. What a man you are!”

“That’s not it.” Xu Moyan thought to herself that she was not actually that brazen. “There’s just no need to worry about my safety. I’m in his car now, and I’m on my way back. I’ll tell you the details when I’m home, okay?”

“Alright.” Xu Moyan said ecstatically. Although she was itching to know, she decided to wait for Xu Moyan to get back and quickly hung up the phone.

He stopped the car at the entrance below her house.

Usually, many houses would still have their lights on at this hour. However, perhaps due to the festivity, but the houses in the area were all dark today. Only the lights in her home were still switched on. Moreover, there was a suspicious figure lurking by the window as well.

When Xu Moyan looked up, the shadow was gone.

However, Xu Moyan knew that it must have been Zheng Yuntong looking down from above.

“Be careful on the road and go home early to get some rest.” Xu Moyan said, “If you’re too tired tomorrow, we don’t have to go on a… date.”

As she said the word “date,” she felt her face burning up again. “Since we’re together now, we have a lot of time, so we’re not in any rush or anything.”

“I know, but won’t you miss me?” Wei Zilin asked as he raised his eyebrows, he had a faint smile on his face.

Xu Moyan blushed without saying a word. There was no need for words – her expression was enough to show her feelings.

Thus, Wei Zilin said gently, “I’ll miss you as well, and I’ll want to look at you at every waking moment. When I can’t see you, I’ll constantly be thinking about you. We’re not in a rush, but I can’t wait any longer.”

His voice was soft and came out like a low growl. It was a little ragged as well, perhaps because of the fatigue. However, it sounded as sweet as ever.

It was the middle of the night, so it was quiet and there were no other sounds nearby. There was only falling snow and sounds of a slight breeze of wind blowing to accompany the pair as they said their goodbyes. However, the wind was blocked by the car window, such that the sound was unable to penetrate through.

The car heater was on, making the whole space turned cozy. This made his husky and mellow voice sound melodic in such a quiet and warm atmosphere.

It almost resembled like a clock that ticked away slowly ever so quietly.

“Trust me, I’ll do what’s right. Just wait for me at home tomorrow, okay?” Wei Zilin held Xu Moyan’s hand as he raised his tone whilst saying the last syllable in his sentence again. It was as if he trying to coax a child.

Xu Moyan had no resistance toward this excessively dotting way of speaking, so she simply nodded in a lovable manner.

“Then, I’ll go up now. Be careful on the road.” Xu Moyan said.

“Okay, I’ll send you a message via WeChat once I’m home. If you’re asleep, there’s no need to reply to me.” Wei Zilin said as he did not want to disturb her rest.

She experienced heaps of psychological ups and downs today. Although she was angry at her own distrust at first, she became distressed again after the said anger disappeared.

She was at home unaware of what was happening, and the only thing she knew was the apprehensiveness and nervousness she had felt at the time.

“I won’t fall asleep. I’ll wait for you.” Xu Moyan said hurriedly, making her look somewhat foolish. “I… I’ll just keep my eyes locked on WeChat.”

Wei Zilin could not help but laugh and nodded.

As Xu Moyan opened the door and was about to get off, her hand was dragged back by Wei Zilin.

She turned around, looking puzzled.

Wei Zilin was tearing up from laughing as he said, “You’re leaving just like that? No gestures or whatsoever?”

Xu Moyan stared at him blankly. What gesture could he possibly want?

Then, Wei Zilin’s gently tapped his beautiful lips with his long forefinger, making an obvious indication.

Xu Moyan could not help but smile at him. She had successfully gotten herself a prince charming and could dilly dally in his embrace at any given time. There was no need for her to ask permission before kissing him or touching him, and even her ears would be able to constantly enjoy his A-grade voice. It was the kind of treatment his female fans could never imagine receiving. Why on earth would she still be unhappy?

She became cheery just thinking about it and knew in her heart that she had gained so much more than she had expected.

Although she was still confused about what the prince charming saw in her, upon seeing her idol’s sweet expression and those beautiful lips that appeared to have honey smeared all over it, how could Xu Moyan refuse?

She quickly leaned over and kissed him on the lips before pulling away to say goodbye once more. However, she was stunned when Wei Zilin pulled her back before pressing her against the door to kiss her fiercely.

Both of her wrists were held firmly against the window as if he was imprisoning her. His movements were intense, but it clearly expressed his love for her. The emotions he felt were passed on to her via the kiss, burning a hole right through her heart.

After releasing Xu Moyan and seeing her stupefied expression, Wei Zilin pecked her lips a couple more times.

He rubbed her lips with his fingertips and said, “I’ll send you up. I don’t feel comfortable after seeing your current appearance.”

Xu Moyan lost her ability to answer him. Thus, she could only watch as Wei Zilin got out of the car and go around to her side before helping her out of the vehicle.

The cold wind and snowflakes outside woke her up, so Xu Moyan was clear-headed by the time they reached the elevator. Only her lips were numb and quite swollen such that it no longer looked like her own. She wondered how much force he had kissed her with earlier on.

There were only two of them in the elevator, and Wei Zilin’s eyes were shining as he kept staring at her. Xu Moyan found it embarrassing and became distracted about how to position her hands.

Eventually, she placed them inside her pockets and felt the bulging leather inside. Only then did she realize that his gloves had been with her this whole time.

A while ago, when they came out of the Red Roof, the two of them were hand in hand, so she was not feeling the cold.

After all, love could not only fill one’s stomach1, it could protect them against the cold as well.

She handed the gloves over to Wei Zilin. “You wear it, it’s cold outside.”

“Okay.” Wei Zilin took it and still carried a smile in his eyes. “It’ll be cold when you’re not around.”

Xu Moyan, “…”

The prince charming’s romantic words were indeed ten out of ten. Would it be proper to follow him home right there and then?

Once the elevator reached her floor, Xu Moyan stopped Wei Zilin from coming out. However, she thought about how far apart their houses were such that they would not be able to see each other for a while. This made her hate the fact that they had to part ways.

This time, there was no need for Wei Zilin to say anything. She took the initiative to stand on her tippy toes and pecked him on his lips once more. “I’m going now. You… be careful on your way back. But, you need to hurry back too, I’ll miss you.”

Wei Zilin was stunned for a moment as he would never have imagined her to say those words.

At the same time, Xu Moyan seized the opportunity to slip away.

By the time Wei Zilin was finally able to react, the elevator door was already closing.

As such, he smiled helplessly as he placed his hands on his hips. His smile looked warm as he reminisced what had just happened.

Xu Moyan walked toward the door of her house as she looked for her keys in her jacket pocket.

She felt warm all over right now as she continuously smiled unconsciously.

“You’re back!” A sudden loud voice startled Xu Moyan. She looked up and saw Zheng Yuntong peeking her head out the door. She had opened up the door a peep, and her long hair was draped over her shoulder, hiding half of her small face.
