Beijing-Hong Kong Rosemary

Chapter 116 Baby
When Shen Guining's fingertips touched the metal belt buckle, she realized what was happening, her cheeks flushed red, and she instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but he held it down and she couldn't break free.

Qu Yanci stared intently at her with dark, intense eyes.

Shen Guining's palms were burning hot as she murmured softly, "If we don't finish the cake, it won't taste good tomorrow..."

Qu Yanci smiled wryly, "Okay, you eat first."

Shen Guining glared at him, "Then let me go."

Those eyes, brimming with spring water, shimmered and sparkled, as if they were being coquettish.

Her voice is naturally charming, soft, and lingering.

Qu Yanci lowered his head, his voice low and hoarse, cutting through his throat: "I want to *you* here, baby."

Ahhh, what is he saying!
How could he say such vulgar things?

The way he said it didn't make people feel uncomfortable; on the contrary, it created a lot of tension.

The facade of asceticism is torn away, revealing a deep-seated, unbridled desire.

Shen Guining's face turned bright red, her long eyelashes trembling uncontrollably.

Qu Yanci didn't miss a single expression on her face.

She seemed startled and too shy to speak.

Don't be too cute.

His kisses fell uncontrollably, from his eyebrows and eyes to the tip of his nose, then to his lips and chin.

Shen Guining's thoughts froze, her mind a jumbled mess as she kissed him.

The zipper of the skirt was unzipped, and it slid down to her feet.

Her skin felt cold, and she snapped back to reality, shrinking into Qu Yanci's arms, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, "No..."

"Ruby is still here..."

Qu Yanci's breathing quickened as his hand stroked her fair and smooth back, his fingertips lingering on the edge of the clasp, seemingly wanting to undo it.

Hearing her name called, Ruby looked up and gazed at them curiously.

Qu Yanci lowered his voice, "Go back to your own place and don't come over."

Ruby barked twice and then obediently took the yogurt bottle to the living room.

Shen Guining had no idea when it had become so obedient to Qu Yanci.

In a moment of distraction, the button came undone completely, and the shoulder strap sagged loosely.

Later, she had no recollection of when she returned to her room.

I barely ate any of the cake, but I did touch some of the cream on top.

Shen Guining didn't want to recall how she ate those creams.

After taking a shower, my body was finally no longer sticky, and I went to bed feeling comfortable.

Qu Yanci tucked her in, then got up and went outside to clean up the mess.

Put any leftover cake in the refrigerator.

The tie clip on the shirt was neatly stored away.

He never lacks birthday gifts, and every year he receives all sorts of expensive things, which are nothing more than social obligations or requests for favors from him.

It didn't matter to him what gift he received.

Perhaps only this tie clip brought him the joy of receiving a gift.

At the end of July, the dance troupe issued a notice.

Starting this September, a global tour will begin, which will also serve as a cultural exchange and promotion event, and is expected to visit more than 30 countries over the next two years.

There are ten spots available, and many members are interested, as such an opportunity is rare.

Everyone's been talking about this for the past couple of days.

"There really is a global tour! I thought it was just a rumor. I'm definitely going to sign up. My biggest wish is to travel all over the world!"

"I envy you guys who are carefree. My daughter is only two years old and can't be separated from me at all. Otherwise, I would definitely have signed up. Sigh."

“My mother was diagnosed with a health problem at the beginning of the year, and I’m not comfortable going, so I can’t go.”

“I really want to go, but once I go abroad, my partner and I will be in a long-distance relationship. A few months is fine, but two years is too long. I definitely can’t keep it up.”

"Don't be love-struck. What are men anyway? You can find someone else anytime. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a global tour. If you miss it, you'll never have another chance." "In short, think carefully about whether your relationship or career is more important before making a decision."

"Gui Ning, do you want to go?"

When suddenly asked, Shen Guining hesitated for a moment, gripping her water glass tightly, "I...haven't thought about it yet."

"The team leader said that the number of participants needs to be finalized within two weeks. There should be many applicants, so it's best to make a decision as soon as possible."

"I heard that they will give priority to candidates who are good at English and have strong communication skills, so that they can communicate abroad."

"Then I'll be rejected. I'm most afraid of dealing with strangers, especially foreigners, since we don't even speak the language..."

Shen Guining stopped listening to what they were saying and sat there lost in thought.

She was wondering how to bring up the topic with Qu Yanci.

That evening, Jin Yuhan invited her to a bar for drinks.

The interior design features a cyberpunk style, with a full-wall LCD display playing cool animations and lighting that creates an immersive, futuristic technological feel.

The environment is not as crowded and noisy as a typical bar.

The place chosen by the young lady is naturally high-class.

Shen Guining went over and saw Jin Yuhan sitting in a booth arguing with someone.

She said impatiently, "Who I invite for drinks is none of your business."

Su Yuchen sat down opposite her and didn't leave. "Sure, it won't make a difference if I'm not one of you. I'll drink with you guys too."

Jin Yuhan scolded him, "Are you sick? If you want to drink, go get a booth yourself, don't take up my spot."

Su Yuchen remained unmoved. "What, am I disturbing your lovey-dovey conversation by sitting here?"

"Knowing this, why aren't you leaving yet?"

"Why should I leave? Let him go. I'll drink whatever you want. If you want to talk about love, you can only come to me."

The scoundrel was completely unyielding, and Jin Yuhan was furious. "Why are you clinging to me like this? You, Young Master Su, have so many female confidantes, why don't you go find them?"

"Those were all just for show."

"We were just putting on an act."

Su Yuchen frowned deeply. "I'm not just playing along. I'm serious. What do you want in return for your belief?"

Shen Guining stopped at the next table, unsure whether she should go over.

As soon as Jin Yuhan saw her, she glared at the man opposite her and said, "The person I invited is here. Get out of my way."

Su Yuchen turned his head, somewhat surprised, "She invited you?"

Shen Guining nodded gently.

Su Yuchen immediately stood up and offered his seat, "Okay, I'll go first then, you guys chat."

They were determined not to leave just now, but now they're leaving so readily.

Shen Guining put down her bag and sat down.

Jin Yuhan swirled her wine glass, still furious. "I should have gone to the male model bar. It'll have driven Su Yuchen crazy!"

Shen Guining asked a passing waiter for a glass of fruit wine, "What's the situation here?"

"Isn't it obvious? I wanted to break up, but he kept pestering me for half a year without getting tired of it."

"You really have absolutely no feelings for him?"

Jin Yuhan tilted her head back and took a sip of wine. After a long silence, she said honestly, "No, not really."

At first, there were no feelings involved; it was purely because we felt compatible in bed that we got together.

Later, the physical attraction gradually extended to psychological attraction.

But she remained lucid.

“Su Yucheng is a playboy. He’s interested in me now, but who knows when it will end.”

"Moreover, his family hopes he will find a gentle, virtuous, and caring wife. Obviously, I am not that, and I will not change myself for anyone. I just want someone to serve me. He is of marriageable age, but I have no intention of getting married at the moment."

Jin Yuhan shrugged. "Knowing it's not suitable, why waste time?"
