The voluptuous and beautiful nanny, Technician Shen fell for her.

Shen Huai chuckled briefly as he looked at her greedy expression.

He stretched out his long arm and pulled the person directly into his embrace.

"This is a gift for you." Shen Huai lowered his head, his nose brushing against her neck. "The property deed is in your name. From now on, when you come to Beijing for meetings or audits, you don't need to stay in hotels catering to foreigners; you can go straight home."

Upon hearing "The property certificate is in your name," Su Nianhe wrapped her arms around his strong waist and looked up at him.

"Boss Shen's business has grown so big that he can easily give away a courtyard house as a gift." She teased in a slightly coquettish tone, "If this were in the old society, I would be considered as someone you've kept as a mistress."

"You have no common sense." Shen Huai flicked her forehead lightly with his knuckles. "The property certificate is yours. If we're really going by the old rules, this courtyard is your property, and I'm your kept man in the backyard."

Su Nianhe was amused by his shameless words, and her body trembled with laughter, causing the neckline of her bright red dress to sway.

Shen Huai's gaze fell on her large, fair back, and his Adam's apple bobbed heavily twice.

"Come inside." He put his arm around her waist and strode towards the main room.

As the door to the main room was pushed open, a cool breeze rushed in.

The air conditioner in the room was always on, and the temperature was set extremely low.

The floor tiles were laid flat and smooth, and a set of expensive rosewood furniture was placed there.

The inner room contained a large canopy bed with plain-colored gauze curtains hanging from it.

The entire house is antique and elegant, completely isolating it from the summer heat and noise of the outside world.

Su Nianhe took off her high heels and stepped barefoot on the floor tiles.

"I'm covered in sweat and smell like roast duck." She tugged at the neckline of her long dress and complained softly, "This dress is sticking to my body, it's so uncomfortable."

"Go take a shower."

Shen Huai didn't even take off his suit jacket before picking her up in his arms.

Su Nianhe lifted her feet off the ground and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Shen Huai carried her through the back door of the main house and into the specially renovated bathroom.

The bathroom was ridiculously large.

A large white porcelain bathtub was built against the wall, with modern copper hot water pipes connected to it.

The tap was running, and steaming water was pouring into the pool, filling the whole room with mist.

Shen Huai placed her on a low stool by the bathtub.

He unbuttoned his black shirt with one hand, his movements extremely swift.

Su Nianhe sat there, looking at his broad shoulders and muscular abs, her cheeks instantly flushing.

"I'll wash myself..." she tried to stand up.

Shen Huai placed his large hand on her shoulder and pressed her back onto the stool.

"I'll help you."

His fingertips touched the pearl hairpin at the back of her neck. With a gentle pull, her long, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, draping over her fair back.

Then, his fingers moved around to the front of her and untied the halter neck tie of her bright red dress.

The silky fabric slid down her shoulders and piled up at her waist.

Su Nianhe quickly reached out to block, but Shen Huai grabbed her wrist and pinned her to her sides.

He lowered his head and kissed her neck directly.

"Shen Huai..." Su Nianhe's voice was soft and trembling, with a heavy nasal tone.

Shen Huai ignored her protests, picked her up, and stepped into the bathtub filled with hot water.

The water temperature was just right, reaching just above their waists.

Shen Huai leaned against the pool wall and let Su Nianhe straddle his lap.

The rippling water dampened her long hair. The sweet fruity scent grew even stronger under the rising heat, filling one's nostrils.

Shen Huai took the soap from the side, lathered it in his palm, and then carefully massaged her back with his large hand.

His movements were aggressive, yet imbued with immense patience. The calluses brushed against her delicate skin, sending shivers of tingling sensation through her.

Su Nianhe was so exhausted by his actions that she could only lean against his broad chest and listen to his steady and powerful heartbeat.

"This bathtub is too big..." she tried to start a conversation to distract him.

"Not too big." Shen Huai pinched her waist with his fingertips. "Just enough."

After taking a shower, neither of them put on any clothes.

Shen Huai grabbed a large, dry bath towel and wrapped Su Nianhe up tightly like a silkworm cocoon. He carried her directly back to the main room and threw her into the soft cotton quilt of the canopy bed.

He wiped himself off casually, then climbed onto the bed, lifted the covers, and pulled the person into his arms.

Su Nianhe leaned against Shen Huai's chest.

Shen Huai gently patted her back with his large hand, enjoying this rare tenderness.

"Shen Huai." Su Nianhe suddenly spoke, her voice very soft, yet it could be heard clearly in the quiet room.

"Um."

Let's have a baby.

Shen Huai's large hand, which was patting her back, stopped.

He lowered his head, his gaze falling on her face.

The two looked at each other.

"Why bring this up all of a sudden?" Shen Huai's voice was deep, revealing neither joy nor anger.

"That's exactly what I wanted to bring up." Su Nianhe snuggled closer to him. "We have everything now. Your businesses in the Special Economic Zone and Beijing are stable, and my garment factory is on track. I don't want you to have to bring up the work injury every time you come back to the compound."

She looked up, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling with seriousness.

"I want a little girl who looks like you. She must be really beautiful."

Shen Huai looked at her like this, and his chest heaved.

He lied and said he was injured at work because he didn't want his family to bother her with the topic of having a baby, and he didn't want a little one who suddenly appeared out of nowhere to take away her attention.

He has enough to worry about just supporting her.

"What if it's some brat who looks like me?" Shen Huai pinched her chin. "He's always trying to steal you from me, can't I even beat him up?"

"Then let's beat them up." Su Nianhe said confidently, "Anyway, I'm on your side."

The phrase "towards you" shattered the last shred of defense in Shen Huai's heart.

His inherent possessiveness was greatly satisfied.

Shen Huai rolled over and pinned her down.

"Have you thought it through?" He looked down at her, all restraint in his eyes vanishing. "You really want to have the baby?"

Su Nianhe's cheeks flushed under his gaze, but she still nodded firmly.

"I've made up my mind."

Shen Huai kissed her lips directly.

The longing of the past month, along with the excitement of her wanting a child, all erupted completely in this kiss.

Su Nianhe was so breathless from the kiss that she could only cling tightly to his broad shoulders.

The bath towel wrapped around her body had long since come undone and fallen to the side of the bed.

The man's body heat continuously emanated from the room, completely dispelling the cold air.

"Don't go back to Jiang City tomorrow." Shen Huai put one arm around her slender waist and lifted her up a little.

"How long will you be staying in the capital?" she asked, panting, as she finally managed to turn her head.

"Wait until it's planted."

Shen Huai didn't give her a chance to back out.

In the stillness of the night, only the rustling of crabapple leaves in the wind could be heard in the quaint courtyard.
