Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

After dinner, Chu Yu brewed a pot of apple, hawthorn, and red date tea, and the three of them sat together drinking tea and chatting.

Perhaps because he felt obligated to accept the food, or perhaps because after spending the night with Chu Yu, Cheng Yuyu found that Chu Yu was indeed a decent person, he seemed to have changed his mind and got along very well with Chu Yu.

After chatting and drinking tea, and having digested the food, it was time to go home.

To Cheng Yuyu's dismay, Mingxi "suddenly" changed her mind and decided to stay and continue her date with Chu Yu just before leaving.

Cheng Yuyu pulled Mingxi aside and whispered to him, telling him to be more reserved and act more composed.

To his surprise, Mingxi gave him a look as if he were an idiot, and then said confidently, "What's with all this talk about being reserved? He and Chu Yu have long since passed the stage of being in a complicated relationship. They're in the throes of new love now, and they don't need to play those pretentious games."

He also told Cheng Yuyu to hurry home and send him a WeChat message to let him know he was safe, and then he couldn't wait to push Cheng Yuyu out the door.

Cheng Yuyu could only roll his eyes at Mingxi, then force a smile and say goodbye to Chu Yu and Mingxi. Two people came, one person left.

After Cheng Yuyu left and the door was closed, Mingxi suddenly jumped up and pounced on Chu Yu, clinging to him like a koala.

"Slow down!" Faced with Mingxi's sudden action, Chu Yu quickly reached out and hugged him.

Thanks to Chu Yu's regular fitness routine and strong physique, he only staggered a few steps before regaining his footing after being hit by Ming Xi, who was like a little cannonball.

After regaining his footing, Chu Yu lifted Mingxi's bottom up as if holding a child to prevent him from slipping, and then patted his bottom. "You jumped up so suddenly, weren't you afraid I'd lose my balance and you'd fall?"

As Chu Yu spoke, he carried Mingxi toward the sofa.

Mingxi chuckled, raised her arm to wrap around Chu Yu's neck, and said confidently, "I'm not afraid at all, I know your strength~"

After saying that, he winked at Chu Yu in a rather ambiguous way, then reached out and pinched Chu Yu's shoulder and arm, sliding down to his chest muscles.

Along with the movements, Mingxi let out a chuckle, looking every bit the little lecher.

Thanks to Mingxi's handsome face, actions that would seem somewhat lewd to others, Chu Yu found incredibly cute and even a little sexy when he did them.

Chu Yu curled the corners of his lips, said nothing, and simply sat down on the sofa with Mingxi in his arms.

At this moment, Mingxi was still sitting on Chu Yu's lap, the two facing each other, the distance between them almost too close.

Mingxi blinked his big cat eyes and looked at Chu Yu with affection. Chu Yu also unconsciously raised his hand and gently stroked Mingxi's face, his eyes filled with love that seemed to stretch into threads.

With such a great atmosphere, it would be a shame not to do something. Thinking this, Mingxi moved her face closer and closer to Chu Yu.

Just as their lips were about to touch, Chu Yu suddenly asked, "Did you tell your uncle and aunt that you were staying with me today?"

Mingxi: "..." (๑‾᷆д‾᷇๑)

Mingxi wrinkled her nose, widened her eyes, and bit Chu Yu's chin.

"Ouch..." Chu Yu winced in pain. "Why did you bite me?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his chin and casually tapped Mingxi's forehead.

As a result, his light, effortless touch caused trouble.

Mingxi clutched her forehead and cried out, "Ouch! That hurts! You hit me! We're not even married yet, and you're already abusing me! You have no love left!"

Seeing his expression that said, "You're a heartless man, you're bullying me," and listening to his illogical and self-righteous words, Chu Yu was both annoyed and amused, and could only shake his head with a smile.

Mingxi's little mouth was still babbling, "I stayed here specifically to keep you company, shouldn't you hold me tight, kiss me, and then have a passionate lovemaking session?! Not only did you not do any of that, but you also hit me! Good heavens! I can't live like this anymore, do you even love me?"

Listening to Mingxi's endless ramblings, Chu Yu thought to himself that if he didn't speak up, Mingxi would solidify this "crime," and he would probably have to bring it up from time to time for the next few decades.

Chu Yu quickly pulled Mingxi into a tight embrace, then gently rubbed his forehead, which didn't hurt at all, and said softly, "Of course I love you. I'm so happy that you're staying with me."

Upon hearing this, Mingxi's lips immediately curled up, and his face was full of smugness.

However, he still pretended to wriggle a couple of times in Chu Yu's arms to show that he was struggling, "You better be telling the truth~"

Then, Chu Yu hugged Mingxi even tighter. "Of course it's true. From the day we got together, I made up my mind to spend my life with you."

"I also hope that your family can accept me. I didn't kiss you or hug you right away. Instead, I asked you if you had told your aunt and uncle. I was afraid that they would worry about you and that they would think that I had led you astray."

Mingxi wasn't really angry; she was just playing around with Chu Yu, it was just a romantic flirtation between young lovers.

Chu Yu's coaxing made him feel incredibly sweet. He rubbed his face against Chu Yu's chest and said in a high-pitched voice, "You won't lead me astray. You're the best boyfriend in the world. Also, I already told Mom and Dad that I wouldn't be home tonight. I'm thinking things through carefully."

However, Mingxi told her family that she wouldn't be sleeping at home, but didn't say that she was going to sleep at her boyfriend's house. Some things don't need to be explained so clearly.

"Our Mingxi is truly thoughtful in every way," Chu Yu praised, while also making a small defense for himself, "I tapped your forehead because you bit me first, and I didn't hit you hard, it wasn't domestic violence."

Upon hearing this, Mingxi's big eyes darted around, and she exclaimed, "I bit you just for fun, to flirt with you!"

Chu Yu chuckled lightly, "Then tapping your forehead is also flirting."

Mingxi pouted, somewhat disdainfully, and said, "Who's flirting by tapping someone's forehead like that? It's not ambiguous at all."

Hearing this, Chu Yu raised an eyebrow, reached out a finger to lift Mingxi's chin, and said in a low, teasing voice, "Shall I knock somewhere else?"

Chu Yu's face is exactly what Ming Xi considers beautiful, and his physique is even more so.

As Chu Yu gazed at her with deep affection, as he spoke flirtatious words in his magnetic voice, and as she felt his strong embrace and the large hand caressing her buttocks, Mingxi felt enveloped in love and eroticism.

This feeling is absolutely wonderful!

Mingxi blushed slightly, then playfully punched Chu Yu's chest, saying in a high-pitched voice, "Where to punch is entirely up to Your Majesty~"

"Hahaha!" Chu Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing at his silly antics.

However, Chu Yu did not forget his "status". After laughing, he rather rudely pressed Mingxi down on his body, saying, "Today, I, the Great King, will teach you some manners."

Mingxi blinked her big eyes and said pitifully, "Your Majesty, please be gentle with me~"

……

Because the "exercise" was too intense, Mingxi naturally didn't get up early the next morning.

But it doesn't matter, since he's the boss, not a junior employee. He doesn't need to clock in and can sleep until noon.

Chu Yu knew that Mingxi wouldn't get up until noon at the earliest, so he was too lazy to heat up the breakfast he was supposed to prepare for him.

So Chu Yu got up, tidied himself up, kissed Mingxi on the cheek, and went out to work hard. After all, he was just a small boss at the moment, and he couldn't afford not to work hard.

When Mingxi finally got enough sleep and opened his eyes, he lay in bed for a while, dazed, savoring the passion of the previous night. There's a saying that goes, "When one aspect is harmonious, the other's relationship will be harmonious."

Then she picked up her phone, ordered takeout for herself, got up, humming a song, and happily went to take a shower.

After washing up, Mingxi's brunch was delivered. He lounged on the sofa, watching TV and eating, while remotely directing his subordinates via his phone, catching up with his friends, and "bothering" Chu Yu who was working hard.

Just then, the phone rang. Mingxi glanced at the caller ID and immediately answered and put it on speakerphone.

Immediately, Cheng Yuyu's teasing voice, tinged with a mischievous grin, rang out from inside the room: "Oh my! You lazy dragon have finally come out of your nest. Looks like you were fighting a really late battle last night."

Faced with his teasing, Mingxi wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she said rather proudly, "Having a strong lover means you have to endure more than the average person. There's no way around it~"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuyu rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. "Come on, you're the one who's been through a lot. Your feelings for Chu Yu are purely lust at first sight. You're attracted to his body and his cooking skills."

Mingxi retorted, "You're being too one-sided. I like him for more than just those two things. Brother Chu has many other good qualities."

"Ha! What other advantages do you have? Oh, right, mature, steady, and considerate, right? I remember you said that."

"Yeah, besides all that, Brother Chu is also incredibly shrewd in business. He's definitely a rising star. I think he'll make it onto the rich list someday."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuyu chuckled and joked, "Looking at it this way, you're definitely not love-struck; you're just too shrewd! A boyfriend has to be good-looking, have a great physique, be good in bed, be a great cook, be gentle and considerate, and even earn money for you to spend. I'm just worrying unnecessarily about you getting scammed."

Mingxi took his words as a compliment. "Hehe! That's normal. I'm so outstanding, so of course my boyfriend has to be just as outstanding."

Cheng Yuyu: "..."

Cheng Yuyu felt that he had indeed been overthinking things. Although Mingxi would occasionally make foolish mistakes, he seemed to have never suffered a loss since childhood.

Seeing that Cheng Yuyu on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent, Mingxi asked, "You called me, not just to inquire about my intimate activities with Brother Chu, right?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuyu remembered the real reason he had called. "No, I wanted to ask you, didn't Zhao Yutong start an art gallery? Did she send you an invitation?"

Mentioning Zhao Yutong, Mingxi scoffed, "She's made it big, how could she not? These days, anyone can pretend to be an artist."

"Of course! I wonder how many of the paintings in the gallery are hers. It's a pity I wasn't in the country on the day of her opening, so I couldn't support this great artist." Cheng Yuyu sighed, feigning regret.

"It's okay, we'll have to go sooner or later. She'll write down in her little notebook who didn't show up on opening day."

"Hahaha! Yeah, that's something she's capable of doing. By the way, Mingxi, I just heard some really explosive gossip, want to hear it?"

"Yes! I really want to! Yu Yu, tell me right now."

"Don't rush, let me explain slowly..."
