Chapter 237: Chapter 237: The King’s Return (34)
“Mr. Jiang?”
Uncle Ping opened the door. Seeing the panting Jiang Ye, he was somewhat surprised.
Jiang Ye hadn’t been around lately.
Although Jiang Ye had his own affairs to deal with, he used to drop by every once in a while.
Uncle Ping didn’t dare to ask what had happened when the visits all of a sudden stopped.
“Where’s baby?”
“Ah?”
“Chuzheng.”
“Miss hasn’t come back yet.” Does Mr. Jiang usually call the Miss “baby”? Sir likes calling the Miss that too…
Thinking of the Sir, Uncle Ping’s mood dipped slightly.
“Where did she go?”
Uncle Ping shook his head. Now the Miss would go out without telling him what she was doing.
Jiang Ye fumbled for his phone. Due to his urgency, it took him several tries to get it out.
He dialed that familiar number and made the call.
The ringtone sounded from not far away.
Jiang Ye turned around. Chuzheng, accompanied by bodyguards, was walking over. She was looking down at her phone, seemingly about to answer it.
Jiang Ye ran over and enveloped Chuzheng in his embrace.
The bodyguards exchanged glances, drifted apart, and disappeared into the surroundings.
Uncle Ping shook his head and entered the house.
Jiang Ye’s voice was muffled, “Baby, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have been mad at you, I was wrong.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust her.
He just felt she ought to give him an explanation, shouldn’t she?
Helping Sheng Ting out of the blue.
Yet he had waited so long and hadn’t even received a single text from her.
Chuzheng caressed his hair, not understanding why Jiang Ye was apologizing.
Her plan was to wait until Sheng Ting’s matter was settled and then to retrieve the Good Person Card…
Jiang Ye let go of Chuzheng, his hands on her shoulders, his deep eyes quietly watching her.
“Hmm?”
Jiang Ye parted his lips. The words reached his mouth but were swallowed back down. He slightly bowed his head and captured Chuzheng’s lips, the kisses rolling gently, filled with lingering affection.
Until both of them were somewhat breathless, Jiang Ye stopped, but their lips remained close together, without moving apart.
Their hot breaths mingled.
“Do you want to?” Chuzheng asked him.
Jiang Ye: “…”
To deny it would seem pretentious. It had been a long time since he had touched her.
Of course, he desired her.
But…
“Baby, how can you be so frank?”
Chuzheng said seriously, “This is a normal adult human behavior and a justified need. What’s there not to say?”
“…”
Jiang Ye hugged Chuzheng and laughed, “Stop talking, baby. Someone might hear…”
Although no one could be seen around the manor, there were people lurking in the shadows. Even if they were too embarrassed to watch, they could hear what Chuzheng was saying!
He picked Chuzheng up and took her inside the house, heading upstairs.
He placed Chuzheng on the sofa and leaned down, kissing her softly and gently.
–
Uncle Ping had dinner ready and hesitated whether to go upstairs to call them.
Before he could decide, someone came down the stairs. Chuzheng, wrapped in a shawl and treading on the carpet, walked down silently.
Uncle Ping immediately lowered his head, “Miss, dinner is ready.”
Chuzheng nodded. Seeing Uncle Ping with his head lowered, she spoke again, “Um, take it up to him.”
Uncle Ping answered and, instead of sending someone else, personally took the dinner to the room.
