It fell from his fingertips

The heavy snow outside the window had stopped sometime earlier, and the warm sun gradually rose into the sky, its soft light falling into the kitchen and onto Zhou Jinbai, who was bending over and staring at him.

Tang Luoqing's heart skipped a beat, thumping loudly in her ears.

She noticed that her heart would often race when she was with Zhou Jinbai.

Looking at the man so close to her, she saw deep eyes, a high nose, and even his lips, used for speaking, eating, and kissing, were exceptionally beautiful, making her want to taste them.

So Tang Luoqing actually did it.

She tilted her head slightly, her soft lips brushing against Zhou Jinbai's lips for a fleeting moment before she slowly asked, "Why did you wash your hands before coming over? Mr. Zhou, what are you planning to do?"

Tang Luoqing had a faint smile on her lips, and her clear eyes sparkled with sunlight.

Zhou Jinbai's prominent Adam's apple bobbed. "What does Miss Tang intend for me to do?"

Tang Luoqing wrapped her arms around Zhou Jinbai's neck and said, "Hold me."

Zhou Jinbai stretched out his arms and pulled the person into his embrace.

Tang Luoqing then said, "Pick me up."

Zhou Jinbai used a little force to lift the woman in his arms, supporting her bottom with both hands.

"I really like this pose."

Tang Luoqing lowered her head and kissed Zhou Jinbai.

Their breaths mingled, and she said softly, "I like you too."

Before she could finish speaking, Tang Luoqing's lips were captured in a kiss.

He held her with one hand and wrapped his other arm around the back of Tang Luoqing's head, deepening the kiss.

After a long kiss, Tang Luoqing was held by Zhou Jinbai and sat on the sofa. She sat on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and looked at Zhou Jinbai intently.

Zhou Jinbai felt his gaze fixed on her and couldn't help but want to kiss her lips again, but Tang Luoqing stepped back to avoid him.

Zhou Jinbai was puzzled, and Tang Luoqing pretended to be angry: "Why... do you never invite me to your company? Are you afraid your employees will find out?"

Zhou Jinbai was slightly taken aback.

After a long silence, he shook his head: "Don't worry, you can go anytime you want."

Tang Luoqing: "Then I'll go tomorrow? I'll bring you a lovingly prepared lunch so you can try my cooking."

"Okay, now..."

"Cooking is more important right now, I'm looking forward to eating garlic crayfish, stop messing around."

"Okay, I won't make a fuss."

Even so, Zhou Jinbai's kiss had already landed on Tang Luoqing's earlobe.

With slightly out of breath, Tang Luoqing raised her slender neck, letting Zhou Jinbai do as he pleased.

Half an hour later, the sofa was damp again. Tang Luoqing was carried into the bathroom by Zhou Jinbai, her body limp.

She was placed into a bathtub that had been filled with water at some point. As the two men joined her, water splashed up and spilled onto the floor, wetting the ground outside the bathtub.

The water rippled.

A phone call rang at that moment.

The shrill ringtone of a cell phone rang in the living room. Even though it was separated by a bedroom and a bathroom, it was hard to ignore, since both doors were open.

So Tang Luoqing nudged Zhou Jinbai: "Go answer the phone."

Zhou Jinbai was unwilling.

"What if something important comes up?"

Zhou Jinbai then closed his eyes tightly.

The call was from Assistant Shen, who said that there was a big problem with the Haicheng project, and Zhou Yanchen couldn't handle it, so he needed to go to Haicheng personally to solve it.

Furthermore, since the other party's boss, General Manager Liao, also attaches great importance to this issue, and is already waiting in his office, Zhou Jinbai needs to leave for Haicheng immediately.

Zhou Jinbai could only give Tang Luoqing a quick kiss before getting himself ready for an emergency business trip.

With Zhou Jinbai gone, the huge house felt empty.

She ate the garlic crayfish that Zhou Jinbai had prepared alone, but her mind was blank.

Tang Luoqing never knew that missing someone could start so quickly, even though Zhou Jinbai had only been away on a business trip for a little over half an hour.

But since you've already made the choice, there's nothing to agonize over; following your heart is the best approach.

So Tang Luoqing took the initiative to contact Assistant Shen, saying she wanted to give Zhou Jinbai a surprise. She then asked him for information about the hotel where Zhou Jinbai was staying, and immediately booked a plane ticket and packed her things.

First, Tang Luoqing boarded Naitang at a pet shop she knew before, then packed her suitcase and embarked on a spontaneous trip.

The flight took five hours, and as soon as Tang Luoqing got off the plane, she took a taxi to the hotel where Zhou Jinbai was staying.

According to Assistant Shen, Zhou Jinbai is currently at the company dealing with an emergency and it's unclear when he will return to the hotel to rest. He lives on the top floor.

Tang Luoqing received the room key that Assistant Shen had left for her from the front desk, went up to the top floor, put down her luggage, searched around on her phone, and found a Sichuan restaurant nearby with pretty good reviews. So she left the hotel and took a taxi to the restaurant.

She packed up some food, carried the bag, and took a taxi to the Haicheng project office.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator on the top floor, I saw Assistant Shen waiting at the door.

Upon seeing Tang Luoqing, Assistant Shen quickly approached, pointed to the VIP waiting area not far away, and said in a low voice, "President Zhou is still in a meeting and may be a while longer. Would you mind waiting there?"

Tang Luoqing nodded and walked over in the direction Assistant Shen pointed.

Tang Luoqing placed the packaged paper bag on the coffee table and sat on the sofa playing on her phone.

While playing, I heard a familiar voice.

"Tang Luoqing, what are you doing here?"

Tang Luoqing looked up and saw Zhou Yanchen.

Zhou Yanchen was staring at her with a frown, his hands in his pockets. The affection in his eyes when he tried to get back together with her a while ago had long been replaced by contempt.

"Heh, you've chased my brother all the way here? Tang Luoqing, how come I never realized you were so good at chasing men? I chased you for a whole year before, so you were just putting on airs back then?"

Tang Luoqing probably guessed that she would run into Zhou Yanchen when she came here.

But unexpectedly, Zhou Yanchen still said such a thing.

However, it's likely that Zhou Jinbai did warn Zhou Yanchen, because what he said this time wasn't as harsh as what he said when he found her house before.

Tang Luoqing stood up from the sofa, took a deep breath, and gripped her phone so tightly that her fingertips turned white, but she still managed to force a smile: "Zhou Yanchen, we broke up a long time ago. Who I like and who I'm with is none of your business."

"What do you mean it's okay? You're pursuing my brother, you..."

"Didn't I say that I pursued Miss Tang first? I had a crush on her for two years, waiting for her to be single before pursuing her. Is that so hard to understand?"

Zhou Jinbai's cold voice echoed in the empty rest area.

Tang Luoqing turned her head and found that Zhou Jinbai had appeared behind her at some point, striding over to protect her.

Zhou Yanchen immediately wilted: "Brother, I didn't say anything."

"Pack your things, we're leaving Haicheng today."

"elder brother……"

Zhou Yanchen panicked, but when he met Zhou Jinbai's cold and stern gaze, he dared not say anything more.
