The President is Being Shameless Again

When he thought about this, Yan Huaian closed his eyes and swallowed as he felt his body heating up. Coupled with the effects of the Huadiao, he felt like he was going to breathe fire.

Thus, he quickly lowered his head and licked his lips.

Yu Zi did not notice what he was doing since she was focusing on the heat of his fingertips on her lips through the piece of tissue. It was so hot.

When she looked down, she saw that his fingers were so close to her. She noticed the bones protruding from the joints of his fingers as well as the fine hair running along the back of his fingers.

Yu Zi’s lips trembled as she subconsciously bit her bottom lip. She was afraid that she would make a mistake if she did not stop herself now.

However, thankfully, Yan Huaian removed his hand after wiping her mouth.

Throughout the meal, the corner of Yu Zi’s lips would feel numb. The heat from Yan Huaian’s fingertips still lingered on them.

After the meal, Yu Zi wanted to wash the dishes, but Yan Huaian refused and asked her to go back to her work.

“You’re gonna have to stay up late if you do. If you don’t get enough rest, it will be bad for your body. Oh right, I almost forgot, what time did you sleep yesterday? When I came over this morning, you were sleeping on the sofa,” Yan Huaian asked.

Yu Zi felt guilty. “I noticed that it was going to be daybreak soon when I was about to go to bed, so I just slept there.”

Yu Zi felt sluggish. She wanted to ask how he was going to punish her.

However, when she saw his stern expression, she did not dare to ask. Hence, she turned around and went back to work in the living room. When she turned around, she could not stop a cheeky grin from spreading across her face.

It was weird that she would not work in the study even though she had one.

She would much rather switch on all the lights in the living and dining room before working on the floor while drinking coffee.

When Yan Huaian was done cleaning the kitchen and was on his way to the balcony, he stopped in front of Yu Zi and said, “I’ll come back in a bit.”

Yu Zi blinked. She wanted to ask him what he meant by ‘he was coming back’.

Nevertheless, before she got the chance, Yan Huaian had already walked over to the balcony. Through the French windows, she could see that he had gone into his own house.

The door to the balcony was left open, and after a while, Yan Huaian came back with his laptop.

“I have some work I have to finish as well, so I’ll stay here to keep you company,” Yan Huaian explained. “You won’t mind, right? I just feel that it would be boring to work alone. I would feel more energetic with someone next to me.”

Yu Zi shook her head. “I don’t mind.”

Yan Huaian smiled and sat down opposite her. He quickly went into work mode after switching on his laptop though, suddenly becoming very serious.

Under his influence, Yu Zi slowly stopped feeling anxious. She was busy looking through past cases to see if there were any similar cases to the one she was handling at the moment whilst making notes on her laptop.

Suddenly, the room went quiet, such that there was only the sound of keyboard keys clicking and pages flipping. Even so, it did not feel cold and unwelcome, instead, the room felt rather warm.

Yan Huaian looked like he was working hard, but once in a while, he would peer over his screen to look at Yu Zi.

It was just that Yu Zi was always concentrating on her work whenever he looked at her.

If she was not typing something on her laptop, she would be busy searching for something in her folders.

When Yan Huaian continued with his work, Yu Zi twisted her neck and peeked over at him. The two of them were constantly looking at each other, but their timing was off that their eyes would never meet.

After a while, Yan Huaian no longer heard the sound of paper flipping. When he looked up, he noticed that Yu Zi was lying on the table. She was sound asleep.

Thus, Yan Huaian saved his document and switched off his laptop. He went over to Yu Zi to see that she had already finished her work, but she had not said anything and decided to stay with him instead.

Why?

Was she afraid that she would disturb him?

Or… Yan Huaian smiled. Or did she want to spend more time with him?

He hoped it was the latter.

He lowered his body to get close to her. Yu Zi’s hand was folded on top of each other. When he looked at the clock on his screen, he saw that it was already 1:30 am.

No wonder she was so tired. She was sleeping soundly as her eyelashes cast a shadow onto her closed eyelids.

“Yu Zi?” Yan Huaian called gently.

However, Yu Zi was in a deep sleep. She had only slept for three hours today and did not rest in the office this morning.

She could not sleep during her lunch break either because she had been too excited about Yan Huaian’s case.

She kept on working when she came back at night, and was totally stressed out even as she finally completed her work.

Despite of this, Yu Zi saw that Yan Huaian was still working. It looked like he did not plan on stopping any time soon.

Therefore, she did not want to disturb him. Instead, she just carefully looked at him over the screen. She found him so charming when he was concentrating on his work.

His eyebrows were knitted together as the light from the screen reflected onto his face, highlighting his features. He had unbuttoned a few buttons of his shirt too, showing his collarbone. At the same time, his sleeves were rolled up to his elbow, putting his strong arms in plain sight.

Unfortunately for her, she could not see his hands since the laptop was blocking her view.

She felt sleepy from sitting and watching him like this, so she soon lay down on the coffee table and dozed off.

She had not rested well since last night. She had only slept for three hours, causing dark circles to appear underneath her eyes.

She was sleeping so soundly that Yan Huaian could not wake her no matter how hard he tried.

Thus, Yan Huaian decided to carry her into her bedroom bridal style. Since her bedroom door was open, he simply carried her inside and placed her gently on the bed. He was afraid that he would wake her if he was too rough.

Yu Zi was in such a deep slumber that she did not even stir. Yan Huaian did not want to leave either when he looked at her sleeping with her guard down.

Then, he unconsciously got close to her. Both of his hands were on either side of her shoulders as his gaze fell on her relaxed lips.

He still remembered how it felt when he had wiped away the crab eggs from her lips. Even though there was a piece of tissue between them, he could still feel the softness of her lips against his fingertips.

Yan Huaian could not help but recall the scene from this morning either. His lips and throat went dry, so he needed to rehydrate himself.

He got so close to her that eventually, he pressed his lips gently onto hers. Yan Huaian was so nervous he felt like his heart was about to burst out of his chest. He felt happy kissing her, but at the same time, he felt guilty.

He had never felt so nervous in his life. At the moment, it felt like his heart was going to explode. He could not even hear anything on top of his own heartbeat.

Even so, the softness of Yu Zi’s lips made him reluctant to let go. He knew that it was wrong to kiss her when she was asleep, but he did not want to let go. Instead, he kissed her harder.

After a while, he finally convinced himself to stop. He did not dare to look at Yu Zi either since he was afraid that he would only make more mistakes. Thus, he turned around and left in shame.

On the other hand, Yu Zi did not know what had happened to her.

Even after she was woken up by her alarm, she could not recall what had happened last night. She just felt that her lips were a little swollen.

Yu Zhi let out a grumble and covered her face with her hands.

Last night… It seemed like she had an unbelievable dream last night.

She dreamt that she had kissed Yan Huaian!

She did not have such a dream when she was first dating Yue Jingchen.

Yu Zi made a noise that sounded like she was about to cry. How much did she like Yan Huaian to have dreamt such a dream?

Yu Zi felt sluggish. She did not want to get out of bed, so she covered herself in her blanket and wrapped herself into a burrito. Then, she rolled around on her bed.

After a while, she reluctantly got out of bed. When she looked into the mirror, she noticed that her lips were indeed swollen. They looked much fuller.

Yu Zi simply figured that she must have sucked her own lips when she was dreaming.

After cleaning up, she did her hair up into a simple ponytail before heading to Yan Huaian’s house with her bag.

“You’re up on time today.” Yan Huaian smiled when he saw her.

Yu Zi did not dare to look at him, so she just mumbled a “yeah”. She noticed that the familiar smell of coffee was absent.

“Today we’re having a Chinese style breakfast,” Yan Huaian explained while guiding Yu Zi to her seat.

He took out two bowls of porridge, two meat pies, a plate of fried noodles, and two plates of snacks.

“Did you make all this?” Yu Zi asked in surprise.

Although she did not care whether it was Chinese or Western-style, she was used to a Chinese-style breakfast. She had already had Western breakfast for two days straight, so she was surprised when she smelled the familiar scent of Chinese breakfast.

“I don’t have the skills yet, even though I can make a Western breakfast just fine. I bought this downstairs,” Yan Huaian replied.

“Didn’t you have to get up early for these?” Yu Zi asked whilst feeling bad.

“It wasn’t that early. It was just like usual.” Naturally, Yan Huaian would not say that he got up at 6 am, cleaned up, then hurried down to buy these from the restaurant downstairs so that he could get back by 7 am.

No matter how early or how tired he was, as long as he could see Yu Zi’s happy face, he would be satisfied.
