Chapter 248 - Let Me Kiss You

“Disgusting?” Song Chuyi frowned. “Then shall I take it off?”

“It’d be even more disgusting if you took it off.” Changqing was afraid he would really take it off so she quickly covered herself with the blanket and turned her back to him. “Don’t think you can write things off between you and Song Yunyang with one stroke by just treating me to a few meals.”

“… Alright.” Song Chuyi lay down silently. Looking at the little tiger sticking out silently, he could only sigh.

The little tiger had already forgotten what it felt like to eat meat.

The next day, Changqing woke up naturally. However, she woke up in a certain man’s embrace.

She looked at the arm around her waist, lifted it and sat up. She looked at the time—it was nine. She woke up the man beside her angrily. “You lied to me?”

Song Chuyi opened his sleepy eyes.

Changqing said with despise, “You even said you had to do the morning shift last night.”

“I remembered wrong. I’m doing the night shift today.” He flipped over, leaving her with his perky butt.

Changqing smacked it hard without thinking.

The crisp sound of the smack echoed around the bedroom.

Changqing froze. She didn’t think she would do something so immoral in a moment of impulse.

Song Chuyi also froze. Having grown so old, other than when he was hit by his parents when he was young, this was the first time a woman hit his butt. He turned his head back stiffly. Changqing clambered up guiltily. “I’m going to wash up and get ready for work.”

She got ready quickly and went downstairs for breakfast. Soon, Song Chuyi also came down with a clean face, wearing a comfy pair of pants and a white t-shirt. After sitting down, he glanced at the woman whose face was almost buried in her plate and said lightly, “My butt hurts because of you.”

“…” Changqing lowered her head. Her face was flushed red and she was very, very embarrassed. She ate huge mouthfuls of porridge and ran upstairs with a piece of sandwich in her hand. “I’m done eating.”

Song Chuyi watched her silhouette and his long face slowly eased into a smile.

Five minutes later, Changqing rushed downstairs with a bag. He held a cup of milk and raised his eyebrows. “You’re leaving so early today.”

“I have to go to a meeting. I’m very busy too, alright?” Changqing lowered her head as she looked for her shoes. Her shoes took up two-thirds of the huge shoe rack. She looked at the shoes and was in a dilemma, not knowing which pair would go with her dress today.

“This one is better.” Song Chuyi pointed at a pair of silver sandals embedded with diamonds.

Changqing was stunned but still took the pair out to wear.

Beside her, Song Chuyi also took out a pair of sneakers to wear.

“You’re going out too?” she asked.

“Taking you to work.” Song Chuyi tied his shoelaces. “Didn’t you leave your car at the broadcasting station yesterday?”

“That… I’ve already called a cab.” Changqing rejected his offer.

“Let’s go.” Song Chuyi didn’t wait for her reply and walked out as he took her bag at the entrance.

Changqing could only brace herself and follow along. After getting into the car, he looked at her quietly for a while and said, “Forget it, I’ll forgive you for hitting my butt.”

Changqing bit her lower lip and her face grew hot. So be it. Was there a need to say it out loud? All grown up but not feeling the least bit shy.

“If you feel bad about it, I can also hit your butt.” Song Chuyi teased, looking at her with her chin lowered.

“Who’s feeling bad about it? I’m not. You deserved it.” Changqing snorted.

Song Chuyi laughed softly and didn’t argue with her.

The car drove for 10 minutes. He received a call. “Sure, sure, in about five minutes.”

“Do you have something to do?” Changqing asked.

He didn’t make a sound.

After around five minutes, he slowly stopped his car by the road and rolled the window down. A pretty lady wearing an apron walked to the right window with a bouquet of flowers in her hands and asked, “Is this Mr. Song?”

“Mm.” Song Chuyi nodded. He told Changqing, “Flowers for you. Take it.”

Changqing was a little dazed. She reached out to take the bouquet of roses. The shop wrapped them very nicely. Not only were there imported pink roses, but there were also white roses and there were some small flowers as a decoration in the middle. It was delicate, beautiful and fragrant.

“Wishing you happiness.” The shop assistant walked away after saying that with a smile.

Song Chuyi continued to turn the steering wheel and the car merged into traffic.

Changqing looked at the flowers then she looked at his elegant profile. The fragrance filled her nose. “Why did you suddenly think about giving me flowers?”

“Count how many there are.” Song Chuyi looked ahead and didn’t turn around.

Changqing lowered her head and counted 21 roses. It meant “love you” in the language of flowers.

“There are 21 roses but I don’t know what it means.” Changqing raised her head proudly after thinking for a while and pretended to be confused.

Only then did Song Chuyi look at her. However, he was silent.

Changqing pressed her lips together with disappointment. Did he think that some words didn’t need to be said by giving her flowers?

I’m not so stupid.

The car drove on to the carpark of the broadcasting station. Changqing carried the flowers and undid the seatbelt, getting ready to get out of the car.

A large, warm hand suddenly held her back. Song Chuyi looked back and watched her intensely. He coughed softly and said with a slightly hoarse voice, “21 roses mean I love you.”

In the dark carpark, his eyes were gleaming. Changqing’s face blushed and heated up. She moved her lips, wanting to say something but discovered that her heart was thumping so fast she couldn’t organize her thoughts.

“What about Song Yunyang? Don’t you love her anymore?” She finally found her voice. “Do you love her more or do you love me more?”

Song Chuyi pondered for a while. “I loved her more in the past. Now, I only love you.”

“Impossible. You abandoned me the moment she got into an accident last time and it’s only been a few days. How could you suddenly love only me? It’s fake. I don’t believe it.” Changqing tried to pull her hand back but he grabbed onto her tightly.

“Changqing, I’m not a cold-blooded person. Even if I broke up with her, with the feelings between us growing up together, she’s still an important family member to me even if she’s not my girlfriend. My family member got into an accident; I couldn’t ignore it. Actually, if some things hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have known how important you were to me. In the past, I’ve never thought about the problems between you and me, but I felt that you would be the one by my side for the rest of my life, not Yunyang. Yunyang is my sister, my kin. However, I promise that something like that will never happen again.” Song Chuyi reached out and tried to hug her with the flowers between them.

Changqing watched as his handsome face drew closer. She turned her face to the side and pouted. “Even if you’ve decided to treat her as a kin, she’s still your first love and was your girlfriend. You two dated for so many years and you work at the same hospital every day. It’d be impossible for me to totally believe you and pretend that nothing happened. In any case, I’m very petty and selfish when it comes to love. Besides, Song Yunyang might not let you go. She looks at me with hostility and she will definitely be thinking about trying to win you over by working in the same department, being physically closer to you.”

“I’ve already made certain things clear to Yunyang. For this period of time, other than sending her some fruits and occasionally bringing her meals, we haven’t really interacted with each other. I can feel that she’s already given up. She also personally said that she would let go of the past. As for being at the same hospital, I can’t do anything about it. However, we’re not in the same department right now. She’s in the Hospitalization department while I’m in the Emergency Room and it’s basically very difficult for us to see each other. If you don’t like it, I will stay in the Emergency Room for the time being.” Song Chuyi stared at her soft and enticing red lips. His handsome face was about to glue himself to them.

“What do you mean by ‘for the time being’?” Changqing frowned. She blocked the mouth that was drawing closer. Don’t think I don’t know what he wants to do.

“For the time being means that without your permission, I won’t transfer back. I will only go back to the Neurology department with your consent.” Song Chuyi’s bright eyes glimmered enchantingly.

Changqing’s heart softened and Song Chuyi took her hand away. He lowered his head and kissed her cheek then gently kissed her nose.

Perhaps it was too tense in the car or the smell of the flowers was too enticing, but Changqing could feel her body slowly heating up under his kiss.

Song Chuyi took the chance to push the flowers slightly to the side and could finally taste her full, luscious lips.

Changqing froze for a while before closing her eyes. She felt a sense of uncertainty surfacing from her heart and she still pushed him away a little. “Song Chuchu, can I trust you?”

“Changqing, I feel that we might have some squabbles in our marriage in the future and there will also be times of unhappiness, but I think that even when we’re old, you won’t regret marrying me.” Song Chuyi racked his brains before coming up with the answer to that question.

Changqing was stumped. The lips approached her again invasively. She asked indistinctly, “Did I… forgive you too quickly?”

“The earlier you forgive me, the earlier you can be my Qing Bao. What’s so bad about that?” Song Chuyi laughed softly and intensified the kiss.

Changqing, who was unable to withstand a single blow, ended up being knocked out by his last line.

Be his Qing Bao.

The two words she had the least immunity to in the world were “Qing Bao”.

They hadn’t kissed like that for a very long time. Changqing, who had very little resistance, soon felt like she had drifted off to a familiar, yet unknown world with him.

Song Chuyi was very satisfied with the kiss, especially since she was wearing a dress today so it was very easy for him to do some naughty things.

Changqing was so uncomfortable that her eyes moistened up. She wanted to tell him off but her mouth was blocked.

It wasn’t until the phone in her bag suddenly rang that she suddenly regained her senses. “Oh no, it’s almost time for the meeting.”

Only then did Song Chuyi let go of her. Changqing looked for her phone and answered the call. Zuo Qian’s voice came through the speaker. “Changqing, why are you not here yet? The meeting is starting in five minutes.”

“I… I’m almost there.” Changqing glared at the man beside her who was helping her straighten up her dress. “Gangster.”

Song Chuyi was in a good mood. He smiled, revealing two clean, pearly white teeth.

Changqing snorted. She grabbed her bag and fresh flowers and dashed out of the car with a blushing face.

It’s all Song Chuchu’s fault for making me feel uncomfortable when I walk now.

As she ran to the meeting room, she met two reporters who were also dashing to the elevator lobby.

“Reporter Tian, are you guys going out to report the news?” Changqing recognized them. They were the reporters for the station’s 7 pm news. Their jobs carried certain risks—they would usually have to dig out news that would be helpful to people and therefore would often need to go undercover or tail certain people, which was why they often offended the city’s bigshots. However, society was in need of reporters like them and Changqing respected them a lot.
