Chapter 1727: In the Far Future
“You won’t be able to sleep,” he insisted.
Shen Zhilie devilishly laughed. Ye Qianqian immediately felt her exhausted body rising to the occasion once again.
“You…” Before Ye Qianqian could finish her sentence, Shen Zhilie pulled her down onto him. They rode through the wild storm together.
…
They had started their activities late. By the time they were done, it was almost morning.
Ye Qianqian’s body couldn’t take it any longer. She fell into a deep sleep.
When Ye Qianqian woke up and opened her eyes, she saw that the whole bedroom was bright with light.
She shot up and checked her cellphone for the time. It was already past 10 a.m.
“Oh my G.o.d!” Ye Qianqian quickly scrambled out of bed. That sudden movement notified her that her entire body ached.
The flurry of activity roused Shen Zhilie from his sleep. When he saw Ye Qianqian scurrying about, he leaned back lazily on the bed and pulled her over to him. Ye Qianqian tumbled into his arms.
“Hey! I’m late for work!” Ye Qianqian pushed him away. Shen Zhilie tightened his arms around her. He said, “I took the day off for you. Check your WeChat if you don’t believe me.”
“What?” Ye Qianqian picked up her cellphone and opened the WeChat app. The latest message had been sent to her supervisor.
[Xixixi]: Hi Boss, I just got back from Venice last night. I’m unable to adjust back to the local time yet and would like to take the day off today.
[Big Bad Boss]: OK. Have a good rest.
Ye Qianqian heaved a huge sigh of relief when she saw that simple exchange.
She fell back into bed and snuggled into Shen Zhilie’s arms. She said, “Oh my G.o.d, I got such a shock. If not for that notification, I couldn’t even begin to imagine how bad her scolding would be.”
“Well, she’s been notified. Don’t worry.” Shen Zhilie clamped her with his limbs. “It’s time to get up. If you continue sleeping, you won’t be able to sleep again tonight.”
“Mmm… just let me snooze a little longer.” Ye Qianqian was topless. She drew the blanket up to cover herself and closed her eyes.
Shen Zhilie, on the other hand, had no intention of behaving himself. His hands freely roamed.
Ye Qianqian was groggy with sleep. She moved his hands away and held them down beneath her body. “Stop it. Sleep!”
“What would you like to eat?”
“I’m not hungry. Stop disturbing me…”
Shen Zhilie quieted down and held her in his arms as he closed his eyes.
They slept until noon. It was almost lunchtime when they got up together.
Ye Qianqian’s entire body ached. After was.h.i.+ng up, she laid on the couch, unwilling to move.
“What would you like to eat?” Shen Zhilie sat beside her. “Would you like to eat out?”
“I don’t feel like moving at all…” Ye Qianqian collapsed onto him with her legs atop his. “Just call for delivery. I’m not hungry. My legs are aching.”
“I’ll ma.s.sage them for you. Here?”
“A little higher.”
“Here?”
“A little lower.”
“Here?”
“Yeah… And my hands… And my back.”
Shen Zhilie ma.s.saged her and kept his eyes on her neck.
The marks he had left behind were visible. Supposedly, he should have felt embarra.s.sed.
However, he felt pleased with himself.
Feeling contented and satisfied as he gave Ye Qianqian a ma.s.sage, Shen Zhilie began thinking about the future.
He had deliberately delayed the time the previous night. What if she really got pregnant?
If that happened, even if Ye Qianqian wanted to leave, she wouldn’t be able to.
Ye Qianqian leaned back on the couch as she observed Shen Zhilie’s expression. Feeling suspicious, she asked, “What are you thinking about? The look on your face is ominous.”
Shen Zhilie felt as if his dark thoughts had been read and was suddenly defensive.
He cleared his throat and replied, “Why would you think that? How can such a handsome face ever look ominous?”
“Yup… You definitely have something sinister up your sleeve.”
