Chapter 535: Chapter 535: Got You, It’s Not Hot at All
Shen Cheng propped herself up in bed, took the cup, and sipped at the edge.
"Hot..."
She had only taken a tiny sip before she furrowed her brow.
Seeing this, Shi Yu hurriedly snatched the cup from her hand, placing it on the bedside table next to him, to check if Shen Cheng had been scalded.
Seeing his concern, the corner of Shen Cheng’s mouth curled into a mischievous smile: "Just kidding, it’s not hot at all."
Shi Yu: "..."
Tricking him?
His large hand suddenly gripped her chin, "Not hot, hm?"
"Mmm..."
She couldn’t speak at all with him pinching her like that.
"Hot or not?"
Shi Yu narrowed his eyes, asking her dangerously.
Shen Cheng nodded.
With such a disparity in strength, how could she dare say it wasn’t hot?
Shi Yu looked at her, his icy demeanor softening slightly: "Do you know what ’disaster comes from the mouth’ means?"
Shen Cheng nodded.
Forcing the issue would be asking for trouble, how could she dare say she didn’t know what ’disaster comes from the mouth’ meant?
Seeing how compliant she was, Shi Yu relaxed his grip slightly, his fingers distinctively hooking up her chin dominantly: "How will you compensate me?"
"Make you a cup of coffee."
"Don’t want it."
"Then how about brewing tea."
"Don’t want."
"A kiss?"
"No kiss."
Shen Cheng: "..."
He really doesn’t want a kiss?
She thought for a moment and then said, "Tomorrow, I’ll spend one less hour with our son and talk to you instead."
The moment her words fell, the hand that was lightly placed on her chin was withdrawn.
"Remember what you said."
Shi Yu gently bumped her forehead with his own and then turned to leave the room, heading back to his study to continue working.
Shen Cheng lay in bed, a thought crossing her mind.
Jealous men are the most childish...
Indeed!
The next evening, Shen Cheng and the servant bathed the two children together, played with them for a while, then she headed to the study.
When she entered, Shi Yu raised his hand to glance at his watch, confirming the time was an hour earlier than usual before he lowered his head to continue working.
Shen Cheng brought over a cup of coffee for him, and just as she set it down, she heard him say, "Let the servants handle this kind of thing in the future. Your health hasn’t recovered yet, don’t be reckless."
"Oh!"
Shen Cheng responded dully, sitting down on the sofa nearby.
Shi Yu glanced at her, not touching the coffee on the table, and went back to his work.
It was already nine o’clock, and darkness enveloped the world outside the window.
The lighting in the study wasn’t too dim, but there was still a vaguely intimate atmosphere.
Shen Cheng reached for a thin blanket next to her and draped it over herself, turning to glance at Shi Yu who was engrossed in his documents, and yawning lazily: "I’m sleepy."
"Hmm, go back to your room and sleep."
After saying that, Shi Yu stood up directly, disregarding the pile of documents he had yet to finish, and stepped forward to take her hand.
On the way back to the room, Shen Cheng asked him, "The doctor said that it’s good for the baby’s development to occasionally sleep with both mommy and daddy."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yu’s footsteps halted, "So you want them to sleep with us?"
His voice was deeply magnetic, with a hint of dangerous undertones seeping through.
Shen Cheng cleared her throat lightly: "Occasionally."
Hearing her words, Shi Yu remained silent.
He let go of her hand directly, handsomely slipping them into his pockets, elegantly striding past her.
Watching his retreating figure, Shen Cheng was speechless: "..."
She knew he wouldn’t agree!
Walking behind him with a heavy heart, Shen Cheng was downcast.
Suddenly, the man ahead stopped in his tracks.
Shen Cheng collided head-on with him, hitting her nose, causing her to inhale sharply in pain: "Hisss—"
