Mrs. Fu, please be mindful of the appropriate boundaries.

She tilted her head back, her eyes filled with longing, but the words of refusal stuck in her throat.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Go to sleep. I'll wait until you're asleep before I leave."

Fu Sichen smiled and said, "Okay."

"Then I'll go take a shower first."

Yu Shinan's throat was a little dry. He coughed lightly and looked at her with lowered brows.

There was no trace of embarrassment or awkwardness on her face; she seemed carefree, as if she had never been bound by any shackles.

I couldn't bear to remind her of that phrase again: "Let's keep a safe distance for now, until after your divorce."

Fu Sichen's heart pounded with excitement; her fear was feigned, but her true feeling was that she didn't want to be separated from him.

She went to get her pajamas, and even after she went into the bathroom, she peeked back in, saying, "You're not allowed to leave."

"Um."

The man stood outside and nodded.

Fu Sichen closed the bathroom door.

Yu Shinan stood there for a while. After two days and one night, he felt like he was going to rot. He didn't feel it when he was worried, but once he returned to a comfortable environment, he felt uncomfortable everywhere.

The clothes on my body felt rough and uncomfortable; I didn't know whether to take them off or not.

Just as she was hesitating, the bathroom door suddenly opened again. Fu Sichen seemed to have finally remembered that Nan Ge hadn't rested and hadn't even changed his clothes while taking care of her.

"Brother Nan, you go first."

"No need, I'll go back and..."

Before he could finish speaking, the woman in slippers rushed in front of him and pushed him toward the bathroom, saying, "Hurry up and go."

She pushed him to the shower door, and Yu Shinan suddenly turned around, grabbed her waist with one hand, and held her tightly. His chest heaved, and the air was as tense as his face.

Innocence was too far removed from him; he had far more experience with romantic relationships than she had. He was a mature man, and his health was perfectly fine.

All the forbearance was simply out of consideration for her current married status.

But a demonic beast was roaring in his heart, and now that things had come to that, it seemed that all his current concerns were a mockery.

Fu Sichen just wanted him to take a shower and rest, but she wasn't unaware of what it meant for him to shower in her room.

It wasn't that she wasn't shy, but compared to that, she felt sorry for him taking care of her like that, so she wanted to take care of him in return.

But as he hugged her and pressed her body against his, her face burned.

The woman's eyelashes fluttered as she looked up at him. "You haven't had a proper rest... ah!"

Fu Sichen let out a short "ah" as he picked her up and the bathroom door closed behind him.

Water gushed from the showerhead, and the two seemed to fall into the rain at the same time; the rushing water couldn't seem to drown out the sound of their heartbeats.

"Together."

His voice, mixed with the sound of rushing water, washed over her. The surging current made Fu Sichen shiver involuntarily. Her fingers gripped his arm, but she felt weak and unable to support herself.

Her clothes clung to her body, damp and uncomfortable, and the man's hands clumsily tried to unbutton them.

Fu Sichen's heart pounded wildly, as if it were about to jump out of her chest. She was extremely flustered and grabbed his hand with one hand. "Brother Nan..."

This was the first time, after all, that the two of them were both fully conscious.

She felt a mixture of trepidation and anticipation.

The voices are all soft.

Yu Shinan paused, looking down at her eyes, which were almost closed from being washed by the water.

He stepped forward, the water rushing onto his shoulders and back, shielding her from most of the water. The man gently wiped the water droplets from her face with his palm.

The woman's face, flushed from the warm water and steam, shone brightly, and her eyes, like the finest black pearls, gleamed from the wash.

The man moved his palm toward the back of her head, applying slight pressure to make her tilt her head back and get closer to him.

He bent down closer, his breath hot against her skin. "Si Chen, you can refuse me if you don't want to."

As the sound faded, he kissed her lips, fiercely and relentlessly, swallowing them whole.

Fu Sichen let out a soft "hmm," her heart pounding as if it were about to leap out of her chest, yet she was also filled with joy.

She tiptoed and climbed her arms around his neck, enduring his strength.

His clothes were peeled off piece by piece, and he was pinned against the wall. The cold touch on his back contrasted sharply with the heat of his body.

She trembled from the heat of his scalding, and her soft voice sounded somewhat pitiful.

Unable to control his madness, Yu Shinan's eyes were filled with such a vibrant color that he lost all reason and no longer wanted to retain it.

Her petite body was held in his arms, the strong, masculine strength contrasting sharply with her soft fragility. All worldly morals crumbled in his arms; he neither cared about them nor wanted to.

"The rooster crows at dawn."

He softly called her name, his burning lips and tongue caressing her skin. Fu Sichen trembled as if in pain and pleasure, her fingers probing into his hair.

……

The morning light was about to shine.

Yu Shinan woke up first. The little woman in his arms was sleeping soundly, her face flushed.

Her head rested on his shoulder, her arms crossed over his chest, her fair skin contrasting sharply with his dark complexion.

Even through the blankets, the close contact of bodies reveals a vibrant and sensual scene.

People who wake up in the morning are easily provoked, and even the slightest thought can ignite a fire in their minds.

Yu Shinan felt somewhat helpless.

Once a person becomes greedy and abandons self-control, they will want more.

Yu Shinan grasped her slender arm, so thin that it seemed he could break it with a single pull.

He had tried his best to restrain himself from being gentle, but he lost control in the waves she gave him.

Yu Shinan pulled her arm down.

He got up, and as soon as he moved, Fu Sichen groggily opened his eyes.

She was tired.

My eyelids are swollen from crying.

"Sleep a little longer." Yu Shinan gently kissed her eyelids and closed her half-open eyes again.

Fu Sichen hummed in response, then wrapped her arms around him affectionately, embracing him and nuzzling against his chest.

She clung to him like a mollusk, and Yu Shinan's Adam's apple bobbed. He grabbed her waist from under the blanket to stop her from pressing closer. "Si Chen."

His husky voice carried the languor and hoarseness of early morning, along with a tense restraint and tenderness.

As if finally realizing something, Fu Sichen suddenly opened her eyes, rolled to one side, and took the blanket covering the two of them with her.

The man's body was mostly exposed.

She took a deep breath and squeezed her eyes shut.

Yu Shinan turned his head to look at her, a smile welling up in his eyes. The morning was so warm and inviting that one wished time could stand still.

He stood up, casually grabbed a bath towel and wrapped it around his waist, brazenly displaying his shoulder and back muscles and chest. Two powerful, long legs emerged from under the towel, their muscles firm and without an ounce of fat. The rough, muscular physique that this man exuded was completely different from refinement, yet it still made people blush and their hearts race.

Fu Sichen buried his face in the blanket, but still couldn't help leaving a pair of eyes outside. His bright eyes darted around him, and when he turned around to look, he quickly slipped back in and covered himself up completely.

This man is both wild and gentle.

She only has him, there is no one to compare her to, yet her heart is full.

Full of it.

She liked the sweat dripping from his brow when he was patient, and she also liked his savagery when he lost control.

Her shy appearance was truly captivating, melting my heart completely. Yu Shinan reached out and tugged at her blanket, wanting her to show her face.

She grunted and pulled her fingers upwards, refusing to move.

"You rest a little longer, I'll go back to my room to change my clothes." Yu Shinan didn't press her further, knowing she was shy.

Fu Sichen hummed in response. She pulled down the blanket to look at him, her eyes filled with undisguised affection.

The man patted her head and then left.

……

When Ding Jing arrived, both of them were already dressed and ready to dine at the restaurant.

After breakfast time, the huge restaurant was almost empty.

Ding Jing looked Fu Sichen over carefully, somewhat worried. "Are you really alright? Yu Qian told me the car flipped over, and I'm still shaken by it."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shinan couldn't help but glance at Yu Qian.

Yu Qian tensed up under the stare. "Well, I was exaggerating, a little bit."

"Don't glare at him. He always tells me good news and never bad news. What if something really happens?" Ding Jing looked at Yu Shinan and bluntly exposed him.

"It's nothing, don't worry." The man glanced at it indifferently.

What's done is done, and saying anything more is futile.

Ding Jing couldn't stand his attitude and was about to speak when Fu Sichen quickly said, "Auntie, I'm fine. Look, I'm perfectly alright."

The little girl does look quite good; her arms and legs are all intact.

"It's good that nothing happened. If something had really happened, I wouldn't have been able to explain it to your family." Ding Jing was still shaken, but she couldn't help but complain to Yu Shinan, "Si Chen also has a husband and children. If something had really happened, could you have taken responsibility? What would happen to her parents, husband, and children?"

These words inexplicably stung Yu Shinan, and he looked up at Fu Sichen.

"Auntie, I really owe a debt of gratitude to Brother Nan this time. I was the one who got hurt, not him," Fu Sichen hurriedly explained, unable to bear Aunt Ding scolding him.

"He's tough and won't be a big deal if he gets hurt, but I'm worried about bigger problems." Since there were no outsiders around, Ding Jing said directly, "You're all grown up now, and your mother can't control you anymore. I don't understand business matters either, but I just want you to be safe and sound. Don't get involved with the people and things from the past anymore. How many years do I have left to live? Can't I just watch you get married and have children?"

"Mom, I know what I'm doing."

"What makes you think you know everything? I said Lin Yuanqing wasn't good enough back then, and now she's pregnant with your child. What am I supposed to say? Si Chen is seven years younger than you and he's already married and has a child. What about you?"

"Auntie, I didn't, I—"

"Don't say anything, I'm talking about him."

Fu Sichen couldn't get a word in edgewise, and Yu Qian couldn't get a word in edgewise either. When the old woman got angry, she would just stay silent, waiting for her to finish saying what she wanted to say and venting her anger.

Yu Shinan was well aware of this, so he kept quiet and let his mother vent her anger and worries first.

Finally, Ding Jing signed off, "They say you should settle down and start a career, but it's better to settle down first. Only when you have someone you care about will you be able to act with discretion. Make some time for yourself these next few days; they've introduced me to a teacher, and I think he's a good candidate. Go and meet him."

Introduction, the person who introduced us?

"No need, I don't have time either," Yu Shinan refused.

He put the peeled eggs and shrimp into a small bowl, turned it around on the turntable, and stopped it in front of Fu Sichen.

Fu Sichen was still stunned by the news that his aunt wanted to introduce him to a woman when he met Nan Ge's gaze.

The man slightly raised his chin, gesturing for her to eat.

Ding Jing also turned to look, and without thinking much, she took the small bowl away from Fu Sichen, saying, "Eat up, eat more, you seem to have lost weight again."

Fu Sichen took the bowl, staring at the peeled contents inside, her heart warming.

"Auntie, don't worry about it. My cousin isn't lacking in suitors. There's a pretty young actress who asks me about him every day. Don't...┗|｀O′|┛Aww~~"

Yu Qian was hit hard on the leg twice.

He could only hiss in pain.

He turned his head and leaned closer to Fu Sichen, "Why did you kick me, girl?"

His cousin kicked him, and then she did it too.

Fu Sichen didn't speak, ignored him, and found him annoying.

Ding Jing frowned as she listened. "Find an ordinary person. Celebrities aren't bad, but they're too much trouble. You can't just look at a face when choosing a wife. That girl is a teacher, about your age. She's been in school all this time, which has caused her to fall behind. I've seen her photos, she's real..."

"Mom," Yu Shinan interrupted Ding Jing, "I've disappeared. If you want a daughter-in-law, I'll bring her back for you; you'll definitely be satisfied."

"You don't see me..." Ding Jing paused, then suddenly realized something. This was probably the first time she had ever heard Yu Shinan say something like this.

After a brief silence, Ding Jing asked him, "Do you have someone in your heart?"

"Someone's here." The man said in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over Fu Sichen, who was sitting next to Ding Jing.

When their eyes met, she knew he was talking about her.

Her heart beat a few beats faster, just like last night when he held her and pestered her, asking if she wanted to be with him.

Fu Sichen lightly bit the end of her chopsticks, lowered her eyes, and her face quietly flushed.

Not only was Ding Jing stunned, but Yu Qian's mouth was agape in disbelief. "Brother, I've never heard you mention this before. Who is it? Do I know them?"

Yu Shinan ignored him and simply moved the fruit that the waiter had brought from in front of Yu Qian to in front of Fu Sichen, saying, "Eat more."

"I can't eat anymore," Fu Sichen whispered.

Yu Qian also said, "That's right, eat more."

Ding Jing stared at Yu Shinan, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying. "A decent girl?"

"Um."

"If you want to know something, bring it back so I can take a look first."

That's the end of this topic. Yu Shinan is going to take Si Chen back, and he'll also drop Ding Jing off on the way.

Si Chen had already packed her things. Yu Shinan went to help her carry her luggage. He opened the room door, and before he could even close it, Fu Si Chen jumped onto his back.

Laughter was practically overflowing.

Yu Shinan quickly closed the door, grabbed her arm and dragged her in front of him, "What are you doing? Someone will see us—"

Before he could finish speaking, she kissed him. Fu Sichen hooked his arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him, his eyes crinkling with laughter. "I want to be seen. So what if someone sees me? Nan-ge, were you talking about me with your mother? Am I even in your heart?"

The man had dark eyes. He wrapped his arms around her and leaned down slightly, his eyes reflecting her smiling face.

"Is it? Is it?"

Fu Sichen repeated the words like a parrot, determined to hear a definite answer from him.

If he could admit it to Ding Jing, then it couldn't be a lie.

Fu Sichen felt like he had been holding his breath underwater for a long time, and suddenly he leaped out of the water. Fresh air rushed into his lungs, and joy overflowed from every pore.

This woman, as fresh and lively as a fish, nestled in his arms, her joy radiating from her eyes, drawing out his affections.

Yes. You are there. Only you.

Fu Sichen laughed until tears streamed down his face. He placed his palm on Fu Sichen's chest, right on the left side of Fu Sichen's chest where his heart was. But that wasn't enough. He reached out and unbuttoned Fu Sichen's shirt, ignoring Fu Sichen's attempts to stop him. He then placed his palm on Fu Sichen's shirt and felt the strong, powerful heartbeat beneath Fu Sichen's taut muscles.

"The rooster crows at dawn?"

Fu Sichen wouldn't let him pull her hand away, so she buried her face in it and bit it hard, leaving a ring of her teeth marks.

She tilted her head back, her smile shy and innocent, "It's mine."

She couldn't help but shed tears again, "I won't give it to anyone, Brother Nan, you love me, right? I'm not ugly, my figure isn't bad either, I..."

Her chin was hooked by the man, his kiss forcefully stealing her breath and encompassing her deep affection.

Yu Shinan picked her up, and Fu Sichen hooked her legs around his waist and wrapped her arms around his neck. The two were at the same height, and she could see the colorful flames rising in his eyes.

Her heart raced, and her plea was exactly what he needed.

Yu Shinan pressed his forehead against hers and said, "Divorce Han Yi, and I'll marry you."

?

Fu Sichen was stunned.

She blinked, slowly processing the meaning behind his words.

"Han Yi and I, actually..."

Fu Sichen pursed her lips, cupped his face in her hands, and asked, "Didn't my second brother tell you?"

"What?" Yu Shinan frowned. "What happened to your second brother?"

She bit her lip slightly, looked at him, her eyes curving into a beautiful arc, sparkling like a colorful little fox. "So, am I cheating on you now?"

Yu Shinan didn't like hearing this, but it seemed to be the truth.

His brow furrowed, and his voice darkened slightly. "No. The situation that day was out of control."

She was indeed out of control that day.

Just thinking about it makes me blush and feel hot.

but--

"And what about last night?" Fu Sichen bit her lip lightly, her eyes fixed on him with a gentle gaze.

His facial features were so taut beneath her palm, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, sexy and alluring. Fu Sichen successfully stumped him with her question.

She suddenly reached out and hugged him tightly, pressing her cheek against his, "Brother Nan, even if it's an affair, I'll only have it with you."
