Chapter 160 Here’s Your Prize
The skirt of her nightgown was pushed up. Large hands stroked and caressed her slender limbs, before making their way up. Sparks flew with every place they made contact, making Su Ziyue shudder uncontrollably. Qin Muchen was like a wild beast, his actions deliberate. “It hurts…” “Bear with it.”
Su Ziyue bit her lip and looked at him; she intended to smack his hands away, but Qin Muchen grabbed her arms and twisted to press them behind her, forcing her to welcome him.
Qin Muchen kissed her ears with intense desire coloring his voice. “Be a good girl now…”
Su Ziyue was a little breathless. “You’re not angry anymore?”
“Depends on you.” Qin Muchen’s eyes traced down the lines of her pretty, alabaster neck.
Su Ziyue blushed and took the initiative to kiss him.
Qin Muchen froze abruptly, but he soon took the reins again. As he slowly fell into her kiss, his grip on her arms slowly loosened as well. Having regained her freedom, Su Ziyue’s arms wrapped themselves around Qin Muchen’s shoulders, her slender legs wrapping around his waist.
…
Soon, the study was filled with the wonton sounds of a woman begging for mercy, her voice soft and lusty, yet weepy and sobbing at the same time. Qin Muchen’s eyes were red as he sealed her lips and said in a low voice, “It’s too early to beg for mercy now.”
With that, he carried her back to the bedroom. The more she begged, the more he wanted to torment her.
Qin Muchen only released her once half the night had passed.
By then, Su Ziyue was completely drained of strength. She harrumphed and rolled out of his arms to the other side of the bed, throwing a small fit at him.
Qin Muchen tucked her in and adjusted the air conditioning so that it would be colder before getting out of bed and heading to the bathroom for a shower. When he came out of the shower ten minutes later, Su Ziyue had already fallen fast asleep on the bed. Qin Muchen laid on the bed and pulled her into his embrace taking in how her face had reddened from the heat; there were still traces of sweat on her hairline. Her eyes were closed, and the way her lashes curled and fanned out made them look like they were false eyelashes. She looked both pitiful and adorable.
Qin Muchen caressed her head and pressed an adoring kiss to her forehead.
Su Ziyue sought his familiar aura and warmth in her sleep and burrowed herself into his arms.
With that, the two of them held each other and slept well for the night.
…
When Su Ziyue woke up the next day, it was already daylight. Her entire body ached. She laid on the bed, reluctant to move at all. A moment later, the door creaked open as someone opened it from the outside.
A sweaty Qin Muchen stepped in. He was clad in a set of sports attire with a towel wrapped around his neck. He headed straight for the bed, and when he saw that Su Ziyue was already awake, he said, “I already helped you to apply for leave, so you don’t have to go to work today.”
Su Ziyue burrowed under the blankets, only revealing half her face. Her voice was a little difficult to hear. “You helped me to get the day off?”
“Yes,” Qin Muchen replied before turning on his heel and headed for the bathroom.
After watching him enter the bathroom, Su Ziyue grabbed her phone by the head of the bed and saw that there was a phone call from Su Yuanming earlier which lasted less than a minute. While she couldn’t figure out what Qin Muchen had said, she could imagine how furious Su Yuanming was. However, since she didn’t have to go to work, she could continue sleeping again.
She yanked the covers over her head. Shortly after that, she heard the sound of running water in the bathroom stop, and the sound of a door opening followed after that.
She knew that Qin Muchen had come out.
She peeked out and her face immediately flushed crimson. Qin Muchen only had a towel wrapped around his lower body, obscuring the important bits; there were even several suspicious red marks on his back. She knew that she was the one who scratched those red marks into his back during their last night of passion in the study.
“Are you peeping at me?” Qin Muchen turned and raised an eyebrow at Su Ziyue when he felt a gaze on his back as he headed for the dressing room.
Su Ziyue remained silent.
“Even so, I have some business to deal with later, so I’ll need to put on some clothes.” As Qin Muchen spoke, the corners of his lips lifted up and an amused look flashed across his eyes. He then turned and entered the dressing room.
Su Ziyue zipped back and curled up under the covers. Why was this man so shameless this morning? Still, did that mean that she and Qin Muchen had made up? However, she hadn’t given any proper explanation to him yet, had she?
Su Ziyue rolled out of bed abruptly. This wouldn’t do—she had to explain everything clearly to Qin Muchen.
While nothing had happened between her and Gong Zeyang, but if Qin Muchen had indeed gone to the Su Group to look for her that night, he must have heard part of their conversation and misunderstood their relationship.
She had said so much that night; she didn’t know what part of it caused his misunderstanding.
Su Ziyue tore at her hair before pattering over to the dressing room in her slippers. Qin Muchen had just pulled his pants on and was putting on his belt when he saw Su Ziyue charge in. A stunned look flashed through his eyes, and he once again raised an eyebrow to look at her. “Are you here to watch me change?”
With that, he lowered his head to continue working on his belt seriously, looking very solemn and nonchalant.
Su Ziyue didn’t care what he had just said. She tapped a finger to her cheek to think for a moment before continuing, “Gong Zeyang came to see me of his own volition that night. He grabbed my phone and hung up the call. He even said that he wouldn’t return my phone to me if I didn’t go out to dinner with him…”
Qin Muchen cut her off with an emotionless look on his face, “You don’t need to continue.” He didn’t even glance at her as he turned to look for a necktie and began to tie it.
Su Ziyue stood there with her mouth agape, unsure of his thoughts and what expression she should be making. Seeing that he was about to tie his tie, she strode over quickly and grabbed the tie in his hand in one smooth action. “Let me help you.”
Qin Muchen finally looked her straight in the eye, but his voice was still filled with heavy doubt. “Do you even know how to do it?”
“I…” She couldn’t say that she didn’t know how to do so. While she didn’t know how to tie a tie, she could still tie a scarf.
As she was wearing a pair of flat slippers, Su Ziyue only reached Qin Muchen’s shoulders. She got on her toes, and with some effort, managed to place the tie around his neck. Qin Muchen watched her calmly; a short grunt later, he kindly bent down a little and lowered his head, allowing her to tie the tie for him.
However, it was very obvious that his wife couldn’t tie a tie.
Su Ziyue pretended to know what she was doing as she fiddled with the tie. When it came to actually knotting the tie, she became troubled. Qin Muchen was right; she didn’t know how to do it at all.
Right then, a warm breath tickled the top of her head as Qin Muchen’s pleasantly low voice entered her ears. “Let me teach you.”
With that, he took her little hands and began to guide her. His hands were large and warm, filled with steadfast strength. Once the tie was knotted, she heard him ask, “Do you know how to do it now?”
It was only then that Su Ziyue snapped back to her senses and nodded woodenly.
“In that case, you should give it a try.” As he spoke, Qin Muchen undid the tie.
Su Ziyue tied it slowly. Qin Muchen lowered his head to look at her patiently. Once she was finally finished, Su Ziyue’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled at him. “Done.”
“Mm.” After Qin Muchen replied, he held her face and lowered his head to press his lips against hers. After a long, deep kiss, Qin Muchen’s slightly raspy voice rang out again. “Here’s your prize.”
