As of then, she had been invited into the house.

“When I called you that night, I was right there lying on that bed.” Qi Chenglin’s voice echoed in her head, trickling down her forehead, slowly dripping down her body.

This made Ruan Danchen’s heart skip a beat as she was reminded of what he said. “I sleep in the nude.”

Ruan Danchen felt like her mind was completely blown wide open by the sudden revelation of what she had just been reminded of. Images of Qi Chenglin lying on the bed completely naked was the only thing that filled her very lustful mind. She could not look straight at the bed.

The image that flooded her mind was too vivid, and in addition to that wild imagination, the owner of that bed was right there with her in that room, making her even more awkward than she already was. She dared not to even glance at that bed and avoided it altogether.

She felt Qi Chenglin slowly inching closer towards her—his lips moving ever so slightly from her forehead, brushing softly and gently across her eyelids. She could feel the warmth from his lips. Her focus now fully directed toward every detail of his sweet passionate lips. She could feel it. Every brush inching downwards on her face. It was soft and light—like a feather gently brushing against her skin—and at times, it was heavy and warm. The suction of both his lips moved down her eyes, brushing against the bridge of her nose, her cheeks and finally stopping at her lips. Then, both their lips were completely locked. Both of them kissing back and forth, not willing to let go of their passionate make-out session.

Ruan Danchen could not control herself. She was trembling and shaking, with both her hands clenching tightly at his shirt. She could not stop blinking. Her long lashes were like the wings of a butterfly fluttering uncontrollably.

“Every time I called you on the phone, I can’t help but lust for you. I would enjoy making passionate love with you right on this very bed that I’m lying on right now,” said Qi Chenglin as he seductively licked her lower lip all while speaking in a very sexy deep manly voice. As he said that, he breathed directly into her mouth. “Everything here belongs to me, this is my territory and you are no longer in Shen’s house,” he added.

This very seductive exchange drove Ruan Danchen crazy. She felt hot all over. Every time she tried to look away, he would tilt her head back to face him. His lips were now locked on hers, the warmth turned into uncontrollable flames of lust, warming up her soft and tender lips. Her mind was clouded by lust, conflicting with her own morale.

Ruan Danchen could no longer control herself. She was in a pool of lust. Every kiss only grew tenser, turning her on even further. Since she could not fight her lustful mind, her whole body fell into his warm embrace.

She felt a warm touch on her back. She was slowly being pushed back, inch by inch. Then, with one sudden move, she was being carried from behind. It was smooth and sudden.

Just moments later, her back was touching the cold sheets of the bed, as he made his way on top of her.

“Qi Chenglin…” Ruan Danchen squealed nervously. She did not expect it to be this quick. She did not expect to see daylight already.

“I will not force you if you don’t want this, but I’ll have you know that I very much want this,” Qi Chenglin said in a deep sexy voice as both their lips were touching. She immediately allowed him to fully embrace her. She could feel the sudden change in the size of his warm phallus.

Ruan Danchen was trembling violently for a brief moment as she grabbed his waist tightly. It did not matter if his shirt was still on because the heat that radiated off his body was enough to warm up her palm quite well.

She could feel her stomach clenching as she was nervous. She could not voice out her words, thus making her incapable of rejecting him.

Qi Chenglin’s phallus had a darker and deeper shade. Seeing that she silently consented, he was excited beyond words. He lowered his head and started passionately making out with her.

The surrounding atmosphere grew warmer, blocking out any sound coming from outside as they could only focus on each other, feeling one another. They were completely lost in the moment of lust as not even the doorbell from downstairs could be heard.

Qi Chenglin hugged her tighter. Out of nowhere, he heard Aunt Zheng’s loud voice coming from downstairs. It was obnoxiously loud. “Sir, Madam, young master and ma’am, what are you guys doing here?”

Ruan Danchen instantly froze. Her body tensed up. She felt cold as she nervously stared at Qi Chenglin.

At this moment, Ruan Danchen felt extremely annoyed and he simply thought to himself, these people just had to choose this very moment to show up.

“You need to get up quick,” Ruan Danchen said as she pushed Qi Chenglin hurriedly. She could not possibly let the elders of the Qi family see her like this.

She was worried that upon seeing her, the elders could tell that she had been hooking up with Qi Chenglin since she was completely disheveled.

She was unsure if Qi Chenglin would introduce her to the elders of the family, but since all of the elders were now present at home, she would not want to leave them with a bad first impression of her.

Qi Chenglin refused to get up, still pressing on her body. He cuddled up with her while breathing in deeply. This caused Ruan Danchen to nudge him harder. Her resistance finally made Qi Chenglin let go of her and getting up reluctantly.

Ruan Danchen was feeling really embarrassed at that moment. If it was not for her forced consent, she would not be so embarrassed right now.

She was blushing hard as she was pulled up by Qi Chenglin.

“What do I do now?” Ruan Danchen asked frantically. She was unsure if Qi Chenglin would introduce her to the elders or if he refused, should she find somewhere to hide herself.

“What do you mean, what do you do now?” Qi Chenglin asked while raising his eyebrows as he helped her tidy her clothes up slowly. With his palm still on her body, he playfully groped her a little since he was still lusting for her. Tired of playing, he pulled her into himself, giving her a tight hug all while petting her heavily, not willing to let go, as if he really loved her.

“Stop fooling around would you. Didn’t Aunt Zheng mention that Madam Qi was here too?” said Ruan Danchen with a frantic tone.

“Yea,” Qi Chenglin said with a hollow tone as he reluctantly let go of her. He tucked in his shirt while staring into his reflection in front of a mirror as he fixed his collar.

Ruan Danchen was gasping for air as she shrugged her neck a little. While panting heavily, she said, “It was not like I don’t want to meet them, I just didn’t expect…”

“You didn’t expect me to bring you along to meet them?” Qi Chenglin said with his eyebrows raised, looking surprised. He playfully added, “I told you, I’m very serious about us. About you.”

Aunt Zheng had a rough idea as to what took Qi Chenglin so long to get ready when she was told that he would be bringing home a female guest. She let out a chuckle. In order to get their attention for them to hurry up a little, she intentionally raised her voice.

“Grandpa, Grandma.” Qi Chenglin greeted as he walked Ruan Danchen down the stairs with him. He silently glanced across the room and never expected the entire entourage of the Qi family to arrive. Even Qi Chengyue and Cheng Dongge were present. It was certainly quite a spectacle. “Aunt, uncle, mom, dad.” Qi Chenglin continued to greet his family.

A pair of dark pearly eyes were focusing solely on Qi Youxuan’s body as he stood behind Song Yu.

“I didn’t mean what I said dad, it just slipped my mouth,” cried Qi Youxuan as he tried to explain himself while grabbing onto Song Yu’s leg. “I tried to stopped them from showing up, but they ignored my very strong refusal.”

“Young man, you should know better than to hide your girlfriend from us. You know having one would be amazing news, especially when the lady is Xiao Ruan!” As the elderly Madam Qi happily exclaimed as she could not hide her overwhelming joy upon seeing Ruan Danchen.

She would be worried if it was some other lady and it would have taken some more time to observe the personality of the other lady, but since it was none other than Ruan Danchen—that sweet girl with a wonderful personality—and was personally taught by Song Yu, she knew her well enough to know that this young lady would be a wonderful person.

“I will not beat around the bush, I was hoping to use this very opportunity of a formal family gathering to introduce her formally to the elders,” said Qi Chenglin calmly.

Ruan Danchen was surprised by his sudden announcement and could only stare at him wondering if he was serious about all of that. However, with his very calm and clear appearance, it seemed unlikely that he was lying.

“Really?” said the elderly Madam Qi, as she thought that the announcement he made was indeed too good to be true. She could not shake the feeling as if something was off.

The usual bachelor of the family, Qi Chengzhi that always seemed to have trouble getting into a relationship had finally gotten married this year and had a grandchild on the way. Not long after that, Qi Chengyue, who was initially stressed by her divorce had since got together with a good man like Cheng Dongge. The remaining single people in the family left would be none other than Qi Chengji and Qi Chenglin.

To be fair, Qi Chengji could be excused for being single. Since he was still young, he should not be too rash in making decisions. Qi Chenglin’s case, however, would be slightly more complicated. He was getting older, if she were to bring him along for an intimate blind date with anyone else, he would be rejected.

But, who would have expected that he, too, would have a girlfriend now.

The elderly Madam Qi had never been happier at that moment. She must have thought that she was being rewarded for all the good karma that she had done.

Seeing that Qi Chenglin had nodded, Madam Qi could not contain her excitement as she grabbed Ruan Danchen by the hand and happily said, “Come on now Xiao Ruan, take a seat. Sigh, our little Chenglin may be quick to anger, but he is a decent and responsible man.”

Seated directly opposite of Ruan Danchen was Guan Liya. She seemed to have left a great impression on Guan Liya.

“I’ve asked Chenglin before about his relationship status. I didn’t expect that he was actually talking about you,” Madam Qi added. “If I had known it was you that he was talking about, I wouldn’t have worried so much,” Guan Liya said while laughing cheerfully.

“Xiao Ruan, I was told by Chenglin that you came to B city when you were little with your mother. Besides your mom, is there anyone else in your family?” Madam Qi asked curiously.

“No, not that I know of,” Ruan Danchen answered.

“What does your mother do for a living?” Madam Qi asked further.

This question caught her off guard as Ruan Danchen hesitated if she should tell the truth or not. If she did, it would reveal her ties with the Shen family, and it would also reveal what happened all those years ago.

She was lucky that Qi Chenglin could understand what she had to do all those years ago. However, she was unsure if the rest of his family would be as understanding as him. What if the truth pissed off the entire family? She would not know what to do then.

“When she was still studying at her university, her mother remarried into another family. Her mother never cared much about how she did anyway. The family that her mother remarried into did not like the idea of her having her own daughter, so this was why Danchen has never visited her since her university days. She alone had to bear the weight of her tuition fees and other expenses. She worked really hard to pay off everything,” said Qi Chenglin. It was partly true anyway.

“Some mother she is! How irresponsible!” Madam Qi yelled as she smacked her leg in anger. She felt slightly embarrassed at her outburst and held Ruan Danchen’s hand. “Please forgive my bluntness. If you both agreed to get married, you still have to let your mother know. After that, we shall send a wedding invitation to your stepfather and his family. They can come if they please. That will show them that even without their support, you can still take care of yourself quite well,” said Madam Qi.

After she said that, Madam Qi took out a chinese calendar booklet from her bag and said, “Look, I have even brought along a chinese calendar with me. Let’s pick a date that you like shall we?”

The booklet was forcefully shoved into Ruan Danchen’s hands, making her blush. She was frozen in shock as she does not know how to respond in this very awkward situation. She shyly looked at Qi Chenglin, desperately calling out for help.

“Grandma, you’re gonna scare her away. Today is her first time here anyway and besides, she had just very recently became my official girlfriend,” said Qi Chenglin. “We’ll discuss marriage alone. Besides, I have to propose to her first,” Qi Chenglin added.

Judging from how quick Qi Chenglin jumped to her defense and seeing that Ruan Danchen was already blushing uncontrollably, Madam Qi could not have been happier at the scene. She kept the booklet and stop persisting.

Ruan Danchen did not expect him to say that and could not help herself but to glance at him, but she was met by his eyes as he, too, was looking directly into her eyes. His eyes were filled with life, and she could not take her eyes off his very soft but serious gaze. It did not seem like he was not serious about what he said to Madam Qi. She could feel the serious truth from his words.

She was under his spell. She could not look away from his very stunning warm gaze. The love radiating from just his gaze alone was enough to fill her heart with warmth. She felt nervous around him, and her stomach was churning as she tried to hide her intense blushing.

…

…

Since everyone was now present in the villa, it was decided that the family gathering will be held here so that it would not trouble anyone to return to the mansion.

Aunt Zheng was busy preparing lunch for the guests in the kitchen. She noticed that the ingredients in the fridge were not enough for this many people, she called Xiao Yang to send her to the market to get more ingredients.

Ruan Danchen did not want Aunt Zheng to be overwhelmed by work alone in the kitchen, so she had decided to help her. She helped out by preparing the ingredients that were left in the kitchen. As she was doing that, Song Yu entered the kitchen.

Ruan Danchen let out a nervous laugh as she listened to what Song Yu had to say. “Well, I did not expect you to keep this from me for so long.”

“It’s not that… He was telling the truth though. We had just recently started dating. It had only been days,” Ruan Danchen answered nervously.

This was all due to the fact that when Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi were together, Ruan Danchen was really gossipy, so in a playful retaliation, Song Yu would love to return the favor. The unrelenting probing by Song Yu broke Ruan Danchen as she was in a puddle of her embarrassment begging for mercy.

Ruan Danchen hesitated a little as she was unsure if she should tell Song Yu about Qi Youxuan. However, no matter what she had to say, this would certainly not be the right place. So she held back.

Aunt Zheng returned, and seeing that Song Yu would want to help out in the kitchen with her, Ruan Danchen simply told her off. “You’re pregnant, you shouldn’t be in the kitchen. All this smoke is not good for you. Even if you don’t leave now, Qi Chengzhi would drag you out later.”

Song Yu reluctantly walked out after hearing what she said.

“Aunt Zheng, what kind of taste does the family prefer?” Ruan Danchen asked. She was told that Qi Youxuan had a simple palate as he was not picky when it comes to food, as long as it tasted good.

In truth, she would love to know more about Qi Chenglin.

“Master Qi and young master are not picky either,” Aunt Zheng said while cooking. “As long as it’s not too spicy. Master Qi was working way too hard when he was younger and was always working late. He never had a fixed time for his diet, thus taking a huge toll on his stomach. He spent all these years getting his health back in line. But he still has to keep a close eye on his diet. So nothing too spicy. If it was too spicy, it would cause him to have a gastric attack. Sometimes, it would cause a very bad case of diarrhea,” Aunt Zheng added.

“Speaking of which, he brought some gastric pills home a few days ago,” Aunt Zheng said as she was reminded.

Ruan Danchen thought back a few days ago and remembered that Qi Chenglin joined her to have some traditional Szechuan dish in Dynasty. He knew he could not eat those but still, he never said anything. He had even shared a few bites with her.

She never expected an arrogant, masculine man like Qi Chenglin, would do something so reckless just for her.

“I’m fine on my own Miss Ruan. Go ahead and take a seat outside.” said Aunt Zheng as she noticed Ruan Danchen picking at the vegetables.

“It’s okay, you’ll overwork yourself alone here, look at the number of people you had to cook for.” Ruan Danchen replied with a smile as she helped Aunt Zheng to wash and prepare the vegetables. This would speed up the pace, as Aunt Zheng was cooking on the side.

It was just in time for lunch just as they finished preparing the meal. The food was served and Ruan Danchen sat next to Qi Chenglin. Seated next to her was Qi Youxuan.

She had never thought that she would get to enjoy a meal with Song Yu and Qi Chenglin along with their families. It filled her with joy and warmth as this moment was like a family meal. She felt an overwhelming sensation of love and care.

“Aunty Ruan, look, I have set our picture as my wallpaper,” said Qi Youxuan as he held his Totoro phone while showing Ruan Danchen the picture he had. It was the same picture taken when the 3 of them were at the mall.

“Aunty Ruan, you and daddy both should set the same wallpaper. That way, we will all have matching ones!” said Qi Youxuan excitedly as he showed her the picture. He then placed his phone on the table.

Ruan Danchen took her phone out and immediately set the same picture as her wallpaper. Looking at her phone screen fills her with warmth.

As she glanced over at Qi Youxuan. She noticed how he was so easily satisfied with the little things. This made her grieved a little.

“Daddy, you too!” Youxuan impatiently rushed his dad.

Qi Chenglin never took his phone out, all he did was glance over to Ruan Danchen, giving her a scheming look from his eyes. He suddenly stood up, without saying a word, he went straight to the kitchen.

“What are you up to daddy?” Qi Youxuan asked curiously as he tried to turn toward Qi Chenglin.

“I’m going to grab a drink,” Qi Chenglin replied.

Out of nowhere, Ruan Danchen’s phone rang. It was from Qi Chenglin.

“…” Ruan Danchen was speechless upon seeing his name on her phone. What does he want? She simply thought to herself.

Blushingly, she turned to the elders and said, “Excuse me for a second, I need to answer this call.”

Ruan Danchen excused herself to the living room, and seeing that the coast was clear, she then proceeded to answer the phone. “What on earth are you doing?”

“If I used that wallpaper, what’s in it for me?” Qi Chenglin said seductively as he schemed.

“What do you want then?” Ruan Danchen raised her eyebrows a little. She did not expect this man to even ask for something in return for literally minute things like this.

“Just promise me now, then we can talk terms in the future,” said Qi Chenglin in a soft tone while leaning on the fridge and holding a glass of water in his left hand.

“You’re asking for a lot here, Qi Chenglin. Just for Youxuan’s minor request. Did you ever think about how he would feel? Just by you asking for so much in return. He will be really disappointed and sad if you don’t promise him,” Ruan Danchen replied frustratingly. He dared to ask for so much for his son’s very simple request.

“…” Qi Chenglin said nothing.

His intention was only to tease her, he never expected her to get annoyed at him.

“Just do what you want with this,” Ruan Danchen answered angrily at him and hung up the call.

Qi Chenglin could only stare at his phone, speechless. They only had been officially dating for a couple of days, he never knew she had it in her to snap at him like this, taking control away from him.

After hanging up the call, Ruan Danchen returned to her seat while apologizing to everyone. She felt uneasy seeing Qi Youxuan eating by himself as she could only think about Qi Chenglin.

After a while, Qi Chenglin came back to the table and sat down next to her only to be ignored by her.

Ruan Danchen was busy helping Qi Youxuan to grab the served dishes on the table since his arms were too short. He could not reach the food in front of the table and it did not seem to be enough for him.

“I don’t have enough either,” Qi Chenglin whispered to Ruan Danchen.

Ruan Danchen continued to ignore him.

“Are you really mad at me?” Qi Chenglin added softly.

“…” Ruan Danchen remained silent.

Everyone started to notice Qi Chenglin whispering something under his breath but could not make out what he said to Ruan Danchen. Qi Chenglin let out a fake cough as he took his phone out and placed it on the table.

He tried to make it as sneaky as possible, his index finger pressing the home button, unlocking his phone. While putting his arm away, he seemingly nudged Ruan Danchen’s shoulder by accident.

Ruan Danchen took a glance at the screen of his phone and noticed that he had changed the wallpaper of his phone to the picture requested by his son. This warmed her heart a little.

Ruan Danchen could not help but smile a little as she sneakily glanced at him. She noticed that he was drinking a glass of water pretending to not know anything.

This man’s pride was unbelievable. Ruan Danchen thought to herself.

She took his phone and showed it to Qi Youxuan. “Look, your dad had changed it too.”

Upon seeing his dad’s phone, Qi Youxuan excitedly climbed down his chair and started to run around his dad. He playfully put both his arms on Chenglin’s shoulder, wrapping around him and hugging him.
