Chapter 322 "The Gift" (Cheng Yubai)
Shen Zhaoyi sat on the sofa for a short while when she heard the door being opened.

At the same time, Xu Meng's voice rang out: "Dr. Cheng, is there something you need so late?"

The nanny is much bolder now than before.

After Cheng Yubai entered the house, his gaze was fixed on the direction of the living room.

"Come and return the car keys."

"Just to freeload a meal."

The second reason has been overused.

While Xu Meng was speechless, she also realized why Lao Wang hadn't driven his usual car when he left home this morning.

It turns out that the key props were stolen.

She reasonably suspected that Cheng Yubai did this on purpose.

The nanny's brain finally guessed right this time.

Shen Zhao saw the man walk over and sit down next to her without even lifting an eyelid, and pointed to the wall clock, saying, "You really know how to time it perfectly."

"What, are you getting impatient?"

Cheng Yubai took out his car keys from his pocket and handed them over. "Or are you worried that I'll take your things?"

"I have nothing to worry about."

"At worst, we'll see each other at the police station."

Shen Zhaoyi picked up the car keys and casually placed them on the coffee table.

The joke from last night was brought up again, and Cheng Yubai leaned closer, his breath brushing against her ear.

"Are you willing to?"

"Speak properly, why are you standing so close!" Shen Zhaoyi moved to the right.

Cheng Yubai was already used to her occasional outbursts of temper.

Their relationship is like flying a kite; sometimes the string needs to be tight and sometimes loose, otherwise it will easily break.

But clearly, neither side has positioned itself as the passive party.

Because there were people at home, the wealthy man was not locked in a cage.

However, it just flew to the side hall to wreak havoc on those few green plants.

Hearing Cheng Yubai's voice, it walked out from inside, its signature pigeon-toed stance.

Once the angle is correctly predicted, it flaps its wings and lands precisely.

Shen Zhaoyi couldn't figure out why the two people, a human and a bird, got along so harmoniously.

You can't expect animals to be judged by their appearance, can you?

But the rich guy is a man!
Cheng Yubai picked up the little guy and laid it flat in his palm with its two paws facing up (don't try this action on other types of parrots). After scratching it, he pulled out a well-packaged little box as if by magic.

His attire was always very formal, no matter how we met.

Today is no exception.

Shen Zhaoyi glanced at the taut suit pants and couldn't figure out where they had been before they were taken out.

Just like that pen when we first met.

But more than anything else, she wanted to know what was inside the box.

Cheng Yubai then lifted the top layer, revealing what was inside.

A piece of pepperwood about the thickness of a thumb, but carved with some other shapes.

Having raised this bird for so long, Shen Zhaoyi could tell at a glance that it was meant to be used by wealthy men to sharpen their beaks.

"It seems you two get along quite well, you even brought it a gift."

"Are you jealous that I didn't bring it for you?"

Cheng Yubai always manages to take an otherwise perfectly normal conversation and give it a completely different meaning.

Shen Zhaoyi felt that she had asked that question unnecessarily.

Having acquired a new gnawing tool, the wealthy man struggled to get up, jumped off the palm, and began to focus on dealing with this tough nut with his mouth.

With his hands freed, Cheng Yubai placed the empty box aside.

Then, turning his head, he stared intently at Shen Zhaoyi, "You know what, I actually brought you a gift too."

He spoke with great conviction.

However, his next move was to prop himself up on his arms and lean back against the sofa.

Shen Zhaoyi looked him up and down again, half believing and half doubting.

To be honest, I really can't tell which pocket looks like it contains anything. "What gift?"

"Where?"

She wanted to see if this man was a doctor or a magician.

Cheng Yu rolled his eyes as he saw the fish take the bait, a smirk playing on his lips. He turned his head and nodded, saying, "It's right here in my pants pocket."

"But you have to take it out yourself."

Shen Zhaoyi was not fooled.

Since it's a gift, there's no reason for me to do it myself.

But Cheng Yubai seemed to have anticipated that she wouldn't obey so easily, and his tone was firm.

"You're scared."

"What am I afraid of?"

"That's right, what are you afraid of?" Cheng Yubai continued to coax him. "I already said it's a gift, would I possibly trick you?"

Shen Zhaoyi couldn't discern anything from the expression on his face.

But there's really nothing wrong with what he said.

Ultimately, curiosity triumphed over everything.

She reached into the pocket that Cheng Yubai had hinted at.

The suit trousers were not a normal cut; they weren't loose at all, and it was difficult to fit two tissues inside.

Shen Zhaoyi had barely touched the edge with her slender fingers when she already knew she had been tricked.

Cheng Yubai suddenly straightened his legs and adjusted his sitting posture to make it easier for his hand to continue.

However, the "boy who cried wolf" scenario is destined not to be well-received.

Shen Zhaoyi made a move to pull her hand away.

As if he had anticipated her movements, Cheng Yubai covered her with his large hand.

"You haven't even touched it yet, are you planning to give up halfway?"

"Come on, you're acting like it's real."

At this point, Shen Zhaoyi had lost interest in playing along with him any longer.

Most importantly, it seems like the restaurant is about to open for dinner.

The hand that Cheng Yubai was holding was suddenly pressed down on his thigh, and through the fabric of his pants, he could easily feel the strength in it.

This person's fitness routine is unlike Su Ye's, which he picked up halfway through.

During the two years he was away from the hospital, he exercised almost all the time when he had free time, trying to numb himself with exhaustion.

As you train, you'll develop a strong physique.

Shen Zhaoyi instinctively grabbed the leg beneath her hand, and it instantly tensed up.

This was not a good sign; she strained, trying to break free.

Cheng Yubai leaned forward, closing the distance between them, and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Are you satisfied with this gift?"

The double entendre caused Shen Zhaoyi's mind to freeze for three seconds.

What doctor? What magician? There's just a male animal sitting here, constantly sending out mating signals!
It's all my fault for being careless and falling into his trap.

Shen Zhaoyi glared back, meeting Cheng Yubai's gaze with a warning in her words.

What's wrong with you!

"Dinner is almost ready. Auntie made mung bean soup today. Remember to drink a couple of bowls to cool down."

I don't know which word in these two sentences is wrong.

Cheng Yubai moved even closer instead.

The heat of his breath hit Shen Zhaoyi's cheek.

"This heat in me can't be solved with mung bean soup."

After saying this, he tentatively moved his lips to kiss her.

Shen Zhaoyi did not dodge.

Before she could react, two voices called out from behind her.

"Zhaoyi, dinner's ready!"

"Miss Shen, there's a phone call at the door. Someone's looking for you!"
