Mr. Shang, please be passionately in love after marriage.

"..."

Cen hope's lips twitched twice.

"Probably not."

Shang Hanzhou is a very self-controlled person. Moreover, he had taken such a long flight back to China, which was very mentally taxing.

"It would be a miracle if they didn't know how!"

Lin Xingyou said firmly, "Think about it, you two were practically reunited after a short separation, and all he did after coming back was sleep. Don't you find that strange?"

"He should at least have some reaction. If he doesn't react at all, either he's impotent or he's had a full meal outside."

Cen hope was stunned by what she said; she had little experience in dating.

Lin Xingyou did have such a relationship, and as a relationship blogger, she certainly understands this better than she does.

That makes some sense.

Thinking of what Shang Hanzhou had just said, she mumbled, "He actually did react..."

"That's fine then."

Lin Xingyou cautioned her, "With someone as outstanding as President Shang, there are bound to be many people outside who have ill intentions towards him. You should keep a little in mind."

Cen hope nodded: "Yes, I will."

The two chatted about other topics and agreed to meet again in a couple of days. Just as they finished speaking, the bathroom door was pushed open and Shang Hanzhou came out.

The scent of shower gel wafted over from that direction, and Cen hope hung up the video call first.

Shang Hanzhou washed his hair, his short black hair sticking out wetly against his deep-set eyebrows and eyes, which also seemed to be misty with moisture. He casually picked up a towel and dried his hair.

Summer pajamas are thin to begin with, and when they get wet, they cling to the skin, clearly outlining the texture of a man's muscles.

Cen hope looked up in his direction and saw it clearly.

Her mouth felt inexplicably dry, so she threw back the covers and crawled inside.

Seeing this, Shang Hanzhou glanced at her, said nothing, and took the hairdryer to dry his hair.

A rumbling sound came from not far away, as if it had a hypnotic effect. Cen hope was also tired today. She had just lain down in bed when her eyelids involuntarily stuck together. She was really sleepy.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, the hairdryer stopped, and Shang Hanzhou came over.

A corner of the blanket was pulled back, and Cen Xi became slightly more awake. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she began to feel nervous for no reason.

...Will he do it?

They hadn't seen each other for half a month, but when they slept, they were still as tacit as before, keeping a distance between them, and neither of them took the initiative to overstep the boundaries.

Cen hope waited for a while, but he didn't make a move.

"The lights are off."

"I……"

They both spoke at the same time. Cen hope swallowed hard, stopped talking, and nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay, then turn off the light."

Shang Hanzhou glanced at her quietly. Under the incandescent light, the woman's long black hair was soft, her face was clean and her lips were red. Her eyes revealed a hint of weariness, and she yawned slightly.

He silently withdrew his gaze, reached out his long arm and turned off the light, plunging the previously bright room into darkness.

His breathing was slow and gentle.

Cen hope suddenly couldn't sleep. She thought he would make a move.

After all, he had just told her to wait for him.

Maybe he wants her to wait for him to go to sleep?

Unable to understand, Cen hope simply asked, "Are we doing it tonight?"

In the pitch-black night, Shang Hanzhou opened his eyes again. They had used the same shower gel when they took a bath, and even the fragrance was exactly the same.

Upon entering the bathroom, enveloped in steam, he immediately froze in place, his Adam's apple bobbing laboriously.

She didn't notice that he took much longer to shower than usual that night.

Shang Hanzhou replied calmly, "I'm not doing it anymore, I'm going to sleep."

Cen hope gripped the corner of the blanket tighter and lowered her eyelashes.

"it is good."

……

The next morning, since the old house was further from her workplace, Cen hope got up half an hour earlier than usual.

Shang Hanzhou also woke up at this time, and pulled the blanket between the two of them.

Cen hope then realized that she had rolled into his arms, his arm was on her waist, and her legs were brazenly draped over his thighs.

He seemed to radiate heat, his body temperature far exceeding hers.

Her heart clenched suddenly, and she was startled. She never expected that she would fall asleep in his arms in the middle of the night.

Their eyes met for a fleeting moment.

Cen hope blinked and gave a dry greeting: "Good morning."

His arm was still on his thigh, and it was unclear whether the calf resting on his thigh should be removed first.

Until his palm moved down, he easily grasped her slender calf and lifted it up.

Cen hope felt a slight constriction in her breath, sensing something very clearly.

My ears instantly burned.

Her bewildered gaze darted left and right. Shang Hanzhou let out a soft sigh and released his grip.

"get up."

Upon hearing those two words, Cen Xi immediately pulled her restless legs back obediently, lifted the covers, and got out of bed from the other side.

I could clearly feel his discomfort just now, but he was still able to endure it.

Cen hope's mind was a bit of a mess, and she couldn't help but think of what Lin Xingyou had said last night.

Although they only had one night of experience together last time, she understood that Shang Hanzhou was not impotent. They hadn't seen each other for half a month, so logically, something must have happened last night.

But until just now, he had been restraining himself.

Cen hope bit her lower lip, brushing her teeth with a head full of confusion.

The bedroom in this part of the old house only has a washbasin.

While she was washing up, Shang Hanzhou stood beside her, and the two finished washing up almost simultaneously.

The clean, bright mirror reflected the two figures standing together.

Cen hope put the toothbrush back in its place, thought for a moment, but couldn't resist grabbing his strong arm just as he was about to leave.

Shang Hanzhou stopped in his tracks, turned slightly to the side, and looked at his young wife.

"What's wrong?"

His tone sounded the same as usual.

Cen hope felt a little sad and a bit wronged. She didn't want to guess, as that would be a waste of time and pointless.

After organizing my thoughts for a moment, I asked directly, "Why didn't you do it with me last night?"

After pausing for two seconds, and then remembering what had happened not long ago, she continued, "And just now, you clearly..."

She was a little embarrassed to say the word, and mumbled incoherently before finally asking, "Why is there still no response?"

Could it be true, as Lin Xingyou said, that he ate his fill outside?

Cen hope couldn't accept this. She believed that couples must be loyal to each other and not cheat. This was her bottom line, not only because of basic responsibilities, but also because of her responsibility to her partner's health.

Shang Hanzhou raised an eyebrow and remained silent for a long while, seemingly surprised that she would say such a thing.

He only realized that the woman's grip on his arm was getting lighter and lighter, and just as she was about to let go, he immediately reached out and grasped her soft hand in return.
