Chapter 137: I will listen to everything you say.

After Ji Xian finished speaking, his heart pounded like a drum, completely out of control.

She didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

This was probably the first time she had ever said such cheesy love words.

Shi Wan is right. A relationship can only remain happy if both people protect and dedicate themselves to it.

Now that a new relationship has begun, Ji Xian was stunned. Wen Qi was already trying to change, so she couldn't just take his changes for granted and do nothing about it.

You may not be able to learn how to act cute, but it's actually not difficult to learn how to express your feelings in the moment.

Although I feel a little embarrassed to say it out loud.

A tingling sensation ran through Wen Qi's ear, and soon a corner of his heart collapsed, becoming incredibly soft.

He chuckled softly, turned his head to look at her, and lightly touched her lips, as if coaxing her, "Say it again."

"What?" Ji Xian put her arms around his neck, pretending to be stupid.

Wen Qi couldn't stand her soft, murmured tone any longer. His breathing became heavy again, and his reason, which was on the verge of collapse, completely vanished.

He captured her lips.

Ji Xuan felt the changes in his body once again.

When the air was thin and breathing became difficult, Ji Xian felt his consciousness gradually becoming hazy.

Through his hazy vision, he heard Wen Qi's hoarse voice ask, "Tonight, shall we stay here?"

Before Ji Xuan could speak, his body was already lifted into the air, and he was picked up by the waist and strode out of the study, heading straight to the bedroom.

The room's layout remained unchanged. Ji Xian only glanced at it briefly before gently placing it on the bed.

It still has that soft, comfortable feel, and that cool, woody scent that's unique to him.

It smells pleasant and refreshing.

Before she could even adjust, a dark shadow loomed over her, and Wen Qi's urgent yet lingering kiss landed on her without warning, robbing her of her breath, her reason, and... everything.

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The next morning, Ji Xian woke up in a familiar yet unfamiliar bed. Her mind was not fully awake yet, and she tried to sit up by propping herself up with her hands. But as soon as she moved, the hand holding her waist tightened, locking her firmly in a warm and hard embrace.

"woke up?"

"Get up quickly, it's already 7:30. I have to attend their regular meeting as a translator at 9:00 in the morning."

Ji Xian saw the wooden clock hanging on the wall and immediately woke up. He pushed Wen Qi's hand away, lifted the blanket, and was immediately embarrassed when he saw his naked body.

Wen Qi didn't delay any longer. With his movements, the blanket on his body was rolled up to his abdomen, revealing his strong, naked upper body.

"I don't know if your clothes are dry yet. Put on my clothes and wash up first. I'll ask Aunt Zhao for you later."

After saying that, he grabbed a bathrobe from the side and put it on. He went to the dressing room, took out one of his own sweaters, but there were no pants that fit. Fortunately, the sweater was a loose style, and when Ji Xian put it on, it covered his upper thighs perfectly.

The pair of legs that were exposed below were long, slender, and straight.

Wen Qi swallowed hard, fragmented images from last night flashing through his mind, and his eyes darkened.

"Don't look!"

Ji Xuan felt embarrassed by his gaze, tugged at the hem of her sweater, turned and rushed into the bathroom, "Go and ask about my clothes right away."

Wen Qi smiled, went back to the dressing room to change his clothes, and then asked Aunt Zhao for the clothes that Ji Xian had changed out of last night.

Actually, it was around 11:30 last night when Ji Xian fell asleep from exhaustion. He was worried that she wouldn't have any clothes to wear the next day, so he took the clothes downstairs to find Aunt Zhao and asked her to make sure the clothes were dried before 8:00 in the morning.

When she moved out of Canglan Residence, she took everything with her, except for the valuable jewelry and bags he had given her, as well as her clothes and shoes.

Not a single item remained.

He placed the clothes at the foot of the bed and went into the bathroom. Ji Xian was washing his face with his face wash, his eyes closed.

As Wen Qi looked at her wearing his clothes, his previously empty heart was now completely filled.

He walked over, hugged her from behind, bent down slightly and kissed her earlobe, murmuring, "I brought your clothes upstairs, they're at the foot of the bed."

Ji Xian felt ticklish and tilted her head to avoid his kiss. "Don't move, hurry up and wash up."

Wen Qi curled his lips into a smile, released her, stood beside her, and squeezed toothpaste to brush his teeth.

After Ji Xian went out, he quickly changed his clothes and went downstairs before Wen Qi.

When Aunt Zhao saw her, her eyes were full of kind and gratified smiles. "Miss Ji, you're awake. Breakfast is ready. I'll bring it up right away. Please wait a moment."

"Not in a hurry."

Ji Xian breathed a sigh of relief and didn't feel embarrassed at all. She went to the coffee machine very naturally.

When Wen Qi came downstairs, he saw Ji Xian making coffee. His eyes were gentle. He walked over, and Ji Xian, as if she had eyes in the back of her head, said, "I heard from Aunt Zhao that you often drink coffee like mineral water, drinking four or five cups a day at home? And once you even drank six cups?"

Wen Qi's outstretched hand, which he had reached out to hug her, stopped in mid-air.

This is a complaint against them.

Just then, Aunt Zhao passed by carrying breakfast. She gave an awkward laugh and said, "I just saw Miss Ji looking at coffee beans, and I casually mentioned it to her."

Wen Qi didn't show any displeasure or displeasure; he just glanced at Aunt Zhao normally.

Ji Xuan happened to notice this and asked casually, "What? Can't I say?"

Wen Qi then looked away, took two steps closer, put his arm around her waist, and whispered, "Yes, of course I can. I'll listen to whatever you say."

"In that case, from now on, you can only drink two cups a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon."

"it is good."

Wen Qi agreed readily without the slightest hesitation.

When they were together before, Ji Xian would intentionally control how often he drank coffee. Sometimes, if he felt that he had reached his daily coffee limit but still wanted to drink more, she would pour him a glass of warm water.

Being managed by her has always been a blessing.

Ji Xian glanced at him; his expression was even more radiant than the rising sun outside, like a gentle spring breeze.

She handed him the coffee she had just brewed, then sat down at the table to eat her breakfast, while also checking on her phone how long it would take to get to her workplace.

The main concern is getting stuck in traffic during the morning rush hour, which would be a hassle.

She wasted no time eating breakfast, finishing in just six or seven minutes before grabbing her coat and bag.

Her phone hadn't been charged all night and only had 18% battery left. She didn't have time to go back for a power bank and cable, so she simply grabbed Wen Qi's charging cable.

Wen Qi smiled and let her take it, then took her to the garage.

"I've driven the car a few times, and I take it in for maintenance every now and then."

Ji Xuan smiled and said, "Thank you. I'll go now..."

She had just opened the driver's side door, and before she could even finish speaking, her wrist was grabbed, and the next instant, she was pressed against the car door, her lips feeling slightly cool.

Where should I pick you up this afternoon?

"I need to go home to change my clothes after I finish my work this afternoon."

Wen Qi understood. "Be careful on the road, and call me when you're done."

Ji Xian nodded, and as she turned around, she quickly tiptoed and pecked his lips. "Let's go."
