Hong Kong Nights of Passion

Chapter 70 Even in Old Age, One Can Still Be Vigorous
After a moment of silence, Chi Yige finally spoke and explained the reason.

They had gone to scout out a villa in the suburbs, but instead encountered fully armed gangsters.

During the operation, Li Mingyi was accidentally exposed. In the chaos of his escape, Chi Yige protected him and took a bullet to the arm.

During the conversation, Wen Jinnian learned that when he was 20 years old, he went on a trip abroad with his mother, but his mother was kidnapped and eventually died. This past experience became an indelible pain in his heart.

Or perhaps the two of them had crossed that line in their relationship, and Wen Jinian felt inexplicably heartbroken.

She pressed, "Has the murderer been caught?"

"Don't worry, Wen, I won't get hurt again."

These words startled Wen Jinian; his irrelevant response was strangely odd.

She rolled her eyes and prepared to get up, but was suddenly grabbed by the wrist. With a little force, Chi Yige pulled her down onto his lap.

Wen Jinian stiffened, afraid to struggle, lest she pull on his bandages: "You're injured and you're still making a fuss?"

A warm breath suddenly brushed past her ear, and the man's husky, magnetic voice sent chills down her spine: "Niannian, I'm so glad you could come."

She looked up and met a pair of peach blossom eyes brimming with starlight, the intense anticipation within them almost drowning her.

He would call her "Niannian" from time to time. He was indeed a cunning old fox. Gradually, she accepted this intimate way of addressing her.

Wen Jinian felt uncomfortable under his burning gaze, her cheeks flushed as she gently pushed against his chest: "I'm going to take a shower."

Chi Yige kept his hand on her waist, indicating his dissatisfaction with her answer.

She jokingly said, "If I hadn't come, Dr. Chi would have looked like a giant panda when he returned to China, so ugly."

After saying that, she got up, picked up the bag on the sofa, and almost ran into the bathroom, slamming the door shut.

The door blocked out the low laughter coming from behind.

Wen Jinian lingered in the bathroom for half an hour, then opened the bag and saw that it contained a lace bra cup size D.

Scroll down to find cotton loungewear, jeans paired with a shirt, and the sizes are exactly as pictured.

She even bought skincare products at the very bottom; she really put a lot of thought into it.

Her fingertips brushed against the soft fabric, and her heart suddenly trembled.

That person who is always aloof is so thoughtful; he even remembered her size.

They'd only spent one night together. If he hadn't known how inexperienced he was at first, he would have suspected he was a womanizer.

She changed into her pajamas, casually dried her half-dry hair in front of the mirror, and then opened the door and went out.

Chi Yige leaned against the headboard, the cold light from his phone screen reflecting the lines of his jaw.

Hearing the noise, he looked up, his gaze sweeping over her clothes, a smile playing on his lips. "Looks like my size fits?"

"Dr. Chi has a keen eye; it seems his gaze lingers on quite a few women."

Wen Jinian retorted directly.

He chuckled softly and handed over the fully charged phone from the bedside table. "You know best whether Wen is the only one for me."

Wen Jinnian: "..."

She pretended not to understand, took the phone, and found a missed video call from Fu Yiyi.

"Why didn't you answer?"

She looked up and saw Chi Yige's long arm wrap around her shoulder, pulling her directly into his arms.

"She'd rather hear you speak."

Warm breath brushed against the top of her head. Wen Jinian leaned against him and tapped the video call button.

As soon as the screen lit up, Fu Yiyi jumped up from the sofa, her phone almost flying off the screen: "Ahhh! You two are really together! I want to ship you two!"

"Be honest!"

Fu Yiyi stomped her feet in excitement.

Suddenly, Chi Yige took the phone, put his arm around Wen Jinnian's waist, and smiled triumphantly: "I still need your help, otherwise your brother will be a bachelor for life."

"Brother, you're so lame!" Fu Yiyi shook her head at the camera. "With that devilishly handsome face, you can't even handle Nian Nian, who's obsessed with looks? A bunch of cute puppies have joined our training room. Be careful Nian Nian doesn't get kidnapped." Chi Yige turned his phone around, pointing the camera at Wen Jin Nian.

"Niannian, tell me quickly! Will dating an iceberg like my brother be so boring it'll make me grow mushrooms?"

Wen Jinian never expected that the two of them would tacitly acknowledge their relationship.

"We are simply creditor and debtor."

"cut."

Fu Yiyi suddenly raised her voice, and Chi Yige chuckled softly beside her, gently stroking her reddened earlobe with a red mole on it with his fingertips.

"Wen, why don't we give it a try?"

Wen Jinian looked up and met the dark currents surging in his eyes, and her throat suddenly tightened.

What does "give it a try" mean?
They clearly tried it a long time ago.

"Is Dr. Chi... trying to take responsibility?"

She deliberately raised her eyebrows.

Fu Yiyi frantically banged on the table on the screen: "Are you all treating me like I don't exist?! I don't care, I have to bring my sister-in-law home for dinner next weekend."

Chi Yige wrapped his long arms around Wen Jinnian and gently smoothed her disheveled hair with his fingertips before speaking softly to the camera.

Keep your mouth shut.

Wen Jinnian's heart skipped a beat again.

He respected her, and he understood that she would never want to expose their relationship.

As far as Wen Jinnian is concerned.

Chi Yige certainly had the ability to protect her, but he knew that at the moment, before she had even acknowledged him as her "boyfriend," any high-profile behavior would be offensive.

The two maintained a delicate balance without tacit agreement until Fu Yiyi's question suddenly froze the air.

"How's my brother's in that area...?"

The little girl on the screen had bright, sparkling eyes, and Wen Jinian almost choked on her own saliva.

She glanced at the man beside her, but he acted as if nothing had happened.

“Dr. Chi…” she deliberately dragged out her words, “you are still vigorous despite your age.”

Chi Yige suddenly leaned closer: "Old?"

He chuckled softly, his warm breath brushing against the back of her ear. "Want to verify it again now?"

Wen Jinian's face flushed instantly, and she hurriedly covered his mouth.

Fu Yiyi laughed so hard on the screen: "I get it! This is what they call 'saying one thing but doing another'."

Before she could finish speaking, Chi Yige hung up on her. His long fingers pinched her chin, forcing her to look directly into the turbulent emotions surging in his eyes.

“Wen,” he said, gently nibbling her earlobe, “if you dare to call me ‘old’ again, I’ll teach you what ‘youthful arrogance’ really means tonight.”

Wen Jinnian's face flushed red as she stared at Chi Yige's arm, which was wrapped in bandages. She gritted her teeth and lowered her voice, "Dr. Chi, with your status as an injured patient, aren't you afraid that tomorrow's news will say 'Dr. Chi died suddenly in his hospital room due to a sexual encounter'?"

"It's just a hand injury." Chi Yige suddenly grasped her wrist, rubbing it with his thumb, a smile spreading to the corners of his eyes.

"Don't you know the situation best about other places?"

These words startled her so much that she almost jumped up.

Just as he was about to retort, a noise suddenly came from outside the door.

The moment Li Mingyi peeked out, he abruptly turned his face away. "Young Master! The nurse's here to change the dressing!"

Wen Jinian breathed a sigh of relief, quickly got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and sat upright on the sofa with her back ramrod straight.

Chi Yige chuckled softly as he looked at her flushed ears, concealing the teasing in his eyes, and nodded toward the door: "Come in."
