Hearing this, Qin Si Ye paused slightly, frowning, "Besides Grandma, you are the second woman to enjoy this kind of treatment from me."
"Didn't you say you had something else you wanted to discuss with me?" Shen Xi closed her eyes slightly, pursed her lips, and changed the subject.
Qin Si Ye continued his actions, saying slowly, "Actually, it's nothing major. I just want to spend a little more time with you."
However, his movements became even gentler and more delicate, causing a wave of tingling sensation to spread through Shen Xi.
Her heart couldn't help but race. She opened her eyes, raised her hand, and glanced at her watch.
It was already ten o'clock at night. He still didn't want to leave; what did he want?
She abruptly stood up, turned her back to him, and walked towards the large bed.
"Um, Qin Si Ye, it's getting late. Since there's nothing else, you should go back and rest."
Seeing this, the man also stood up and followed her, grabbing her arm and turning her to face him.
"Actually, I do have something."
"What?" Shen Xi looked up at him.
"I've found that the last 'thank you' is very difficult to collect. Are you deliberately not giving me a chance, not wanting me to collect them all?"
Qin Si Ye gazed at her intently, voicing the problem that had been troubling him for a long time.
It wasn't just the last one; in fact, the last few were all very difficult.
He always had a feeling that Shen Xi was preoccupied with something, possibly delaying him.
"How could that be? You're overthinking it," Shen Xi replied with a poker face, her gaze flickering rapidly. "Perhaps my life has been going smoothly lately, and I haven't needed anyone's help."
Qin Si Ye gently circled her waist with one hand and raised her chin with the other. "Xi Xi, tell me the truth. Are you hiding something from me?
Or do you have some unspoken difficulty that makes you not want to be with me soon?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi was startled and quickly gave him a bright smile. "No. It's very late, you should go back and rest."
Looking at her radiant smile and bright, pearly teeth, Qin Si Ye couldn't help but feel a flutter of affection. A hint of desire gradually rose in his eyes, as dark as obsidian, and he slowly leaned down towards her.
"But I can't wait any longer. Xi Xi, I want you."
After speaking, without giving Shen Xi any time to react, he gently kissed her lips.
Shen Xi's eyes widened, and her body trembled slightly, but she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
A clear masculine scent enveloped her completely. She felt her body go soft, completely immersed in his tenderness.
Under his provocation, she actually responded to him.
The man rejoiced inwardly, becoming bolder and more unrestrained, his large hand unconsciously reaching beneath her clothes.
Then, they naturally fell onto the bed.
For a moment, only rapid breathing and the rustling sound of clothes could be heard in the room.
They entwined, a scene of romantic bliss...
However, as they reached the final step, Shen Xi suddenly let out a sound of resistance, a soft moan.
Qin Si Ye immediately stopped his actions, his gaze meeting her misty eyes. After a long pause, he rolled off the bed.
He quickly put on his clothes and, with his back to her, said, "You should rest."
Watching his receding figure disappear through the doorway, Shen Xi felt a whirlwind of emotions, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
Qin Si Ye, I'm sorry! I'm not completely ready yet.
I want to sort out everything from five years ago before I can be with you completely clean.
Please, give me a little more time, okay?
Shen Xi slowly picked up the clothes on the floor and put them on. She sat on the edge of the bed, completely disregarding the time, and quickly sent a message to Jian Fan.
"What's the latest with Su Cheng Yu? Has he returned?"
Soon, Jian Fan replied.
"Not yet. Moreover, I've enlisted help from people in country B, and he doesn't seem to be there."
What? Not there? Where could he have gone? Su Cheng Yu had flown to country B on the same day as her last time.
If he wasn't there, perhaps he went to another country? Or did something happen to him?
If it was the latter, it would be a good thing if he never returned to K City; she wouldn't have anything to worry about.
"Have you asked people to investigate the surrounding countries to see if there are any traces of him?"
"Okay," Jian Fan replied with a single word, then cautiously asked again, "Sister Xi. There's something I've wanted to ask you for a while. Why are you so eager to find Su Cheng Yu?"
He remembered they didn't have much interaction in K City before.
Shen Xi paused, then replied, "He has something I desperately need, so I must find him quickly."
After sending this reply, Shen Xi put down her phone, sighed, and walked towards the washroom.
