Qin Chuchu was also lost in thought for a moment.
She felt everything that happened today was absurd.
On the same day, she lost her virginity, let a man carry her into her house, and enter her boudoir.
On any other day, such a thing would have been absolutely impossible.
She had never dated; aside from polite handshakes in business collaborations, she had no physical contact with the opposite sex, let alone embracing. Having relations was even more ridiculous.
Well, she’d made up for all that in a single day.
And the other party was a super-rich young master with immense power and a rather bad reputation.
The worst part was, in her heart, she wasn’t even that resistant to it.
“I asked if you’re thirsty?” Seeing her spaced out, Bai Jinghong asked again.
“Ah? Mm… Honey water, it’s in the fridge.”
“Okay, wait a moment!” Bai Jinghong turned and left.
Watching Bai Jinghong’s back, Qin Chuchu only felt her mind was a mess.
And right then, Bai Jinghong’s phone, placed on the nightstand earlier, suddenly rang.
Qin Chuchu thought it was hers. Turning her head, she saw it was Bai Jinghong’s phone, displaying an unsaved number.
She ignored it. The call soon hung up automatically.
But seconds later, the phone rang again.
This happened two or three times, all from the same number.
Just then, Bai Jinghong returned with the honey water, muttering to himself, “Why do you have so many fridges? Six fridges is ridiculous!”
“It took me forever to find it!”
Qin Chuchu wanted to laugh but suppressed the urge. She pointed at the phone on the nightstand: “Your phone’s been ringing for a long time. Is it something urgent?”
“My phone?” Bai Jinghong handed the honey water to Qin Chuchu and picked up his own phone.
Indeed, several missed calls.
Just as he glanced at it, the phone rang again.
Bai Jinghong answered the call, put it on speaker, and placed it on the nightstand.
Then he casually started adjusting the pillows behind Qin Chuchu, making her more comfortable.
“Bai Jinghong, why didn’t you answer my calls?”
An accusatory voice came out. It was none other than Fan Ning’er.
Bai Jinghong was surprised: “You again? Aren’t you tired of annoying me?”
Fan Ning’er was taken aback and said pitifully, “You… you now find me annoying?”
“Crap. If you’re so bored, go run a few laps outside. Or go find some Old Bitch who’s fallen down and help them up!”
“Bai Jinghong, you… bastard, you…” Fan Ning’er was extremely aggrieved, incoherent.
Bai Jinghong’s gaze hardened. He said coldly, “If you want to curse me, do it privately, don’t let me hear it. You think I’ve got a good temper and can tolerate you endlessly?”
Qin Chuchu watched Bai Jinghong adjusting her pillows for her, her eyes revealing a hint of complexity.
She thought privately, “He’s fierce now, but so meticulous with me… somewhat heartwarming…”
On the phone, Fan Ning’er was clearly frightened by Bai Jinghong’s words.
So she calmed herself, keeping her goal in mind, trying to soften her tone.
“Jinghong, I… I didn’t mean it that way. I called to ask if you’re free. I… I want to treat you to dinner, to treat you to dinner!”
Fan Ning’er even put extra emphasis on it.
As if saying: This is the first time I’ve ever invited someone to dinner, it’s an opportunity!
Bai Jinghong sneered: “Heh, you make it sound like I can’t afford food. Am I lacking a meal from you?”
“What? Did the price of rice skyrocket? I can’t afford it?”
Bai Jinghong’s deflecting words made Fan Ning’er very uncomfortable.
Qin Chuchu was once again surprised.
Bai Jinghong’s skill at roasting people was truly impressive.
“Jinghong, are you really rejecting my goodwill? You won’t regret it?” Fan Ning’er was a bit in disbelief.
After being a lapdog for so long, could he really just say he’s done and be done with it?
When she called, she’d actually had some confidence.
She believed that if she just slightly loosened her stance and gave Bai Jinghong a little sweetness, he’d definitely come wagging his tail back to her.
Then all her current troubles would be effortlessly resolved.
“Pfft…” Bai Jinghong really laughed. “Oh my, where do you get such confidence? Do you really think this young master can’t live without you?”
“If you don’t have a mirror at home, you at least have piss, right?”
“If you really don’t have piss, drink more water. Or I’ll piss for you, and you can use that as a mirror!”
“Pff…” Qin Chuchu almost couldn’t help laughing out loud at Bai Jinghong’s words.
But she managed to hold it in.
Honestly, as a woman, she also felt Fan Ning’er had unwarranted confidence.
No matter how bad Bai Jinghong’s reputation was, he was still the young master of the Bai Family, with top-tier upbringing and family background.
Maybe he’d been foolish before, but that didn’t mean he’d stay foolish forever.
The person who truly thought him a fool was the real fool!
“Bai Jinghong, you… you…” Fan Ning’er’s voice trembled with sobs; she was clearly crying.
Bai Jinghong had no patience for more chatter with Fan Ning’er. He cut straight to the point:
“I know what you want. The stock got halted, and now you want me to relent, right?”
“No need to beat around the bush!”
“And I can very responsibly tell you now, if you want me to relent, then it depends on whether President Fan is willing to bite!”
Fan Ning’er didn’t understand for a moment and asked, “Wha… what do you mean?”
“Figure it out first. Think clearly about my words, then call me again!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t blacklist you this time!”
Having said that, Bai Jinghong hung up.
“Slut!” Bai Jinghong muttered.
Then he tucked in Qin Chuchu’s blanket, stood up, and said, “Alright, I should be going now!”
“Rest well at home.”
“Also, if that balding Director Ye or whatever tries to give you trouble, call me. I’ll beat him up for you.”
A slight smile couldn’t help but appear on Qin Chuchu’s face.
Although Bai Jinghong spoke very vulgarly, he strangely gave off a sense of security.
And he didn’t seem as bad as the rumors said. He clearly had a different side to him.
Bai Jinghong took Qin Chuchu’s phone, saved his number in it, then turned and walked toward the door.
But just as he opened the door, Bai Jinghong seemed to feel he’d forgotten something. He turned around and came back to Qin Chuchu’s bedside.
“Did you leave something?” Seeing Bai Jinghong return, Qin Chuchu asked in confusion.
Bai Jinghong didn’t speak, just looked at her like that.
Qin Chuchu felt unsettled by his gaze and couldn’t help lowering her head.
In the next second, Bai Jinghong reached behind her head, pulled her forward, tilted her chin up.
Their lips touched directly.
“Mmm…”
Caught off guard, Qin Chuchu’s lips were already pressed against Bai Jinghong’s.
That annoying little snake slipped right in and began to swirl around.
“Mmm… ah…”
Qin Chuchu let out a series of light moans.
That sudden sense of invasion made her entire body tingle and go soft.
Three parts shyness, three parts passion, three parts unease, and one part irritation.
After a long while, their lips parted.
Bai Jinghong licked his lips, very satisfied. “Rest well. I’m leaving. Contact me if anything comes up!”
Qin Chuchu hadn’t even recovered. Her chest heaved rapidly, unable to catch her breath.
By the time she came back to her senses, Bai Jinghong had already left the room.
The roaring sound of the sports car engine could be heard from outside the villa.
Listening to the roar of the sports car fade into the distance, Qin Chuchu’s heart was full of complexity.
Scenes from inside the car surfaced in her mind again, along with the scene of their kiss just now.
Finally, she couldn’t help picking up Bai Jinghong’s shirt lying by the bedside, staring blankly at that patch of crimson dried upon it.
