CH 71

Shen Tiantian looked at her in astonishment. How could someone twist the facts like this? It was clear that she was the one pinned beneath, and she even cooperated.

“Let’s try the balcony next time, okay?”

“Get lost.” Even though Shen Tiantian knew it was intentional, she couldn’t help but swear in frustration: “I’m going to take a shower.”

Shan Yi smiled and pulled her back into her arms, planting a loving kiss on her. “What should we do about our profile picture?”

“Which one do you want?” Shen Tiantian didn’t resist but warned, “If we change it to a couple’s photo, it’s like openly announcing our relationship. I have many former colleagues on my WeChat.”

“Why do you have them?” Shan Yi furrowed her brows. “And what’s the big deal?”

Shen Tiantian gave her a sidelong glance. “Some are for work, and some of them are friends. Didn’t I say? We can’t go public yet.”

Shan Yi casually said: “If you don’t like it, you can delete the ones you don’t know. After all, there won’t be any more work-related interactions in the future.”

While it was true that there wouldn’t be any more work-related interactions, they were still in the same company, and they would inevitably run into each other from time to time. If people found out that she had deleted them after her promotion, she wondered what they would think of her. Moreover, she was now in a relationship with the CEO, so it might be even harder to stay in the company in the future.

Shen Tiantian lightly slapped her arm and said, “You’re such a boss with a heavy bias.”

Her wife’s slap was gentle, and Shan Yi held her hand in response, bringing it to her lips for a kiss. She shrugged nonchalantly and asked, “When did I become so biased?”

Shen Tiantian expressed her disdain, saying, “You’re biased because you moved your wife closer to you, of course.”

Shan Yi chuckled, “Well, I can’t help it. I am the boss, after all.”

Shen Tiantian snorted, “Well, I can’t argue with you about that.”

“Can’t we change it today?” Even though she was the one who initiated this and piqued her interest before trying to evade, she was truly an endearing and stubborn little woman.

Shen Tiantian looked at her with a pitiful expression. “How about we take a silhouette photo tomorrow?”

“Only a silhouette?” Shan Yi looked equally dejected. She felt she was perfectly within her rights, so why did she have to hide her name secretly?

But since her wife didn’t like it, she had no choice but to respect her wishes.

Shen Tiantian smiled, separated her legs, and sat on her lap. She gently cupped her face, leaned in, and took the initiative to kiss her. She delicately licked her upper lip, then slowly parted her slightly open lips.

Shan Yi’s eyes darkened, and she was about to take the initiative when Shen Tiantian immediately pulled back. She looked serious and said: “No moving allowed.”

“This is your reward. Do you still want it?” Shen Tiantian smiled and said, “If you do, then you either don’t move while I kiss you, or it ends right now.”

Shan Yi promptly replied: “I won’t move.”

Shen Tiantian curled her lips and once again cupped her face, gently pressing her lips against hers.

She adored Shan Yi so much that her actions became instinctively gentle, fearing she might bite her.

Shan Yi skillfully responded to her wife’s advances. Her hand on her waist slowly moved upwards, suppressing the urge to take control and letting Shen Tiantian have her way.

After the kiss ended, both of them were left breathless. Shan Yi, who didn’t have to move, couldn’t resist teasing: “Tiantian’s kissing skills have improved.”

Shen Tiantian couldn’t help but mumble in her heart. If it weren’t for her daily practice of kissing, could she have learned so quickly? But she could only keep this thought to herself. She knew Shan Yi too well. If she voiced it out, she would definitely press her to continue kissing.

With all the kissing going on, she still wanted to sleep.

So, she simply ignored Shan Yi’s words, rolled out of bed, and said, “I’m going to take a shower.”

Shan Yi replied: “I’ll shower too.”

Shen Tiantian understood what she meant, so she didn’t refuse or agree. She just blushed, grabbed her clothes, and went to the bathroom. They didn’t need to talk; it was almost like an unspoken agreement. During this time, they often showered together, and it had become a natural routine.

These past few days, her wife had been upset, and they hadn’t showered together in two days. Shan Yi was eager to resume their usual routine.

After some playing and washing in the bathroom, the two of them spent more than half an hour bathing, and their hair was soaked. Shan Yi was concerned that her wife might catch a cold, so she immediately went out to blow-dry her hair.

Her hair was quite long, shiny black, and straight and soft. Shan Yi lifted a few strands and sniffed them at the tip of her nose. Shen Tiantian couldn’t stand it and said: “What are you doing?”

Shan Yi replied: “It smells really nice.”

Shen Tiantian blushed at the compliment but urged her, “Hurry up and dry your hair. I’ll help you afterward.”

Shan Yi’s hair was quite long, reaching her waist, and it was challenging to dry on her own. She didn’t want to see her wife tire herself out, but if she wanted to help, she’d let her.  

After a day of activities, both of them had their hair dried and couldn’t think of anything else to do. They nestled in bed for a while and watched TV before resting since they had a photoshoot the next day. The theme for the second day was “Inner Space,” to be shot at the base.

Shen Tiantian woke up early, feeling surprisingly well and without morning sickness today. She was happily trying on different outfits in front of the mirror.

Shan Yi found it somewhat amusing and let her fiddle around without interrupting her. When she finally noticed that Shan Yi was awake and asked her, Shan Yi casually mentioned: “They’ve prepared some costumes over there.”

For a moment, Shen Tiantian was taken aback. She had tried on at least five different outfits from Shan Yi’s wardrobe in the morning, and now she told her that costumes were prepared for her.

Shen Tiantian’s movements froze for a few seconds, and then she climbed onto the bed, angrily pounced on Shan Yi, saying: “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Shan Yi, however, replied: “I saw how happy you were trying things on, and I didn’t want to interrupt you.”

As she spoke, Shen Tiantian began tickling Shan Yi’s waist and said, “That’s no excuse.”

Shan Yi laughed and dodged her playful attack, retorting, “You asked me just now.”

Shen Tiantian let out a light snort but didn’t stop her playful actions, and the room was filled with their laughter, making it lively and full of life.

After they finished playing around, Shen Tiantian laid on the bed and asked in a weak voice: “What time is it? Can we head out?”

“It’s time to go,” Shan Yi replied.

Since they had clothing prepared, Shen Tiantian decided to put on something casual. They arrived at the bridal shop close to 10 AM. The makeup artist instructed them to have some food because their makeup session would likely last until around 11 AM, after which they could start the photoshoot for the day’s first theme. In the afternoon, they would change into another set of costumes for a different theme.

Today’s focus was mainly on simulating outdoor scenes, with one set on the rooftop of the studio, which counted as an outdoor setting. They had smoothly completed three indoor themes in the morning.

As they stepped out, the sky had darkened, and they were surrounded by the shimmering neon lights, creating a beautiful atmosphere. The beach, which had been relatively empty at noon, was gradually coming to life, with the sound of laughter and chatter filling the air.

Shen Tiantian caught a whiff of the aroma drifting from the nearby snack street and took a deep breath. She was beginning to miss the street food they had enjoyed the day before. She turned to Shan Yi and said, “I’m hungry. Let’s go eat something.”

Even though Shan Yi hadn’t been with Shen Tiantian for long, she had gotten to know her well enough. Seeing her excitement, she sighed in resignation and said, “Okay, but don’t eat too much today.”

Shen Tiantian happily agreed: “Alright, I promise.” Shan Yi held her hand as they walked through the snack street and made their way to the beach, where they found a less crowded spot on the sand. Shen Tiantian’s full attention was now on the street food.

“This one is delicious,” Shen Tiantian said, holding a handful of colorful sweet dumplings. After she had eaten one, she offered it to Shan Yi, saying, “CEO, try one too.”

In her memory, Shan Yi rarely indulged in street food like this. However, watching her wife enjoy it so much, she hesitated for a moment but then took a bite. The sweet yet slightly salty flavor spread in her mouth.

“How does it taste?!” Shen Tiantian asked curiously.

Shan Yi nodded and replied: “It tastes good.”

Shen Tiantian smiled and teased, “Would the CEO like another bite?”

Shan Yi, licking the juice that had collected at the corner of her mouth, sighed, “When will you change that nickname?”

“I already told you, calling you ‘CEO’ adds a little excitement,” Shen Tiantian explained.

“People at the company all call me ‘CEO.’ You need to call me by a different name,” Shan Yi reminded her.

Shen Tiantian took another bite of a sweet dumpling, and while chewing, she asked: “For example?”

“Yiyi, my dear, or something like ‘wife’.”

Her mouth, in the midst of chewing, paused, slightly open, and then she smiled, squinting her eyes. “Alright, ‘wife.'”

The word ‘wife’ had rolled off her tongue countless times in her mind, and Shen Tiantian found herself saying it naturally.

Shan Yi opened her mouth contentedly, signaling for her to feed her. Wanting to eat, well, should one have to find excuses? Shen Tiantian couldn’t hold back her laughter. Her tsundere CEO was incredibly cute.

What to do? She really wanted to kiss her.

Shan Yi seemed to understand her thoughts, or maybe she had made her intentions too obvious. As Shen Tiantian had this thought, she suddenly moved closer. Shen Tiantian felt a bit uneasy and quickly closed her eyes.

The anticipated kiss didn’t happen for a long time. Shen Tiantian, with her sensitive ears, could hear a muffled laugh. She opened her eyes abruptly and saw that Shan Yi was indeed blushing and laughing directly when she met her gaze.

Shen Tiantian’s face turned red, and she scolded, “What are you laughing at?”

“Did you just think I was going to kiss you?” Shan Yi playfully inquired.

Well, wasn’t she?

With the perfect moment, location, and the affection they felt for each other, wasn’t it perfectly normal to want a kiss? Shen Tiantian retorted: “Earlier, it wasn’t.”

Shan Yi gradually stopped smiling and moved even closer. She spoke with a low, deep voice: “But this time I am.” 

With that, before Shen Tiantian could reply, she was kissed. Her waist was pulled up, their chests pressed together, and the kiss became more intense, accompanied by a tantalizing friction.

Shen Tiantian naturally opened her mouth to invite exploration. Her legs slowly shifted as she knelt, making her more comfortable.

There were still quite a few people at the beach, mostly couples. They saw them kissing and some whistled, while others imitated the affectionate gestures with their own partners.

After a fiery kiss, Shan Yi was reluctant to let go. She held her wife’s waist and gently pulled her down onto the sandy beach.

“So, what did you want earlier?” Shen Tiantian gasped, lying on top of Shan Yi.

“I just wanted to tell you that there was some juice at the corner of your mouth, and I was about to help you wipe it off,” Shan Yi said with a smile. “I didn’t expect you to obediently close your eyes. You’re so cute.”

Shen Tiantian: …

“Let’s go back,” Shen Tiantian pouted and got up, brushing the sand off her knees. “I’m not talking to you.”

Shan Yi laughed and caught up with her. She swiftly embraced her from behind. “Let’s go back together, wife.”

Shen Tiantian tried to free herself from her grip and suddenly started running. “If you can catch me!”
