Chapter 318: Chapter 318

Shi Yang rented a modern two-bedroom, two-living room apartment for Liu Xiue and Zhao Dazhuang.

The newly built apartment was made of hollow bricks, incomparable to the old red-brick buildings. It was not soundproof, and the bedroom doors were thin wooden panels with decorative glass carvings. Even with the bathroom and two doors in between, if the conversation was slightly louder, it could be faintly heard in the master and secondary bedrooms.

Shi Yang’s eyes were dark and focused, his brows slightly furrowed, and his large hands tightly holding Zhao Meimei’s waist, guiding her to match his rhythm.

The room was too quiet; any slight sound reverberated like a thunderous echo. Zhao Meimei was worried that her parents might hear, so she bit her lip tightly, her heavy breathing escaping through her nose.

Shi Yang suddenly lowered his head and kissed Zhao Meimei’s mouth, forcibly parting her tightly bitten lower lip, a low, rough groan escaping with his breaths.

Caught off guard, Zhao Meimei said, "Brother, I can’t anymore."

These words tasted different in Shi Yang’s ears, and his movements became more hurried. His voice, deliberately lowered, was hoarse and full of pressure: "Even if you can’t, you have to endure it, I’m just getting started."

Zhao Meimei clutched at the bedsheet, her breathing chaotic: "Spare me... "

Shi Yang smiled mischievously, "Alright, I’ll spare you for now."

Zhao Meimei felt relieved, but before she could take a breath, Shi Yang suddenly disengaged and moved down.

Zhao Meimei’s cheeks flushed red, struggling desperately, she protested softly, "No!"

"Even if you say no, it must be yes!" Shi Yang gave Zhao Meimei no room for negotiation. His tongue lightly curled, and Zhao Meimei immediately surrendered.

Shi Yang mumbled, "Do you like it?"

Zhao Meimei responded with a muffled whimper.

Sweat glistened on her face, her eyes unfocused, lingering tremors shaking her for over ten seconds. Lost in ecstasy, she murmured unconsciously: "Brother... "

Only then did Shi Yang lift his head and press down on her again.

Shi Yang’s outburst was purely provoked by Zhao Meimei’s enticing demeanor. In that instant, they both repressed and let out a low roar, then sealed each other’s mouth, embracing tightly.

Shi Yang used his tongue to gently lick the sweat on Zhao Meimei’s forehead, smiling as he asked, "Did you enjoy it?"

Zhao Meimei found it difficult to admit, though she had enjoyed it. In retrospect, she wished she could bury her head under the bed, unable to face anyone.

Looking at her embarrassed demeanor, Shi Yang couldn’t help but find it charming. He didn’t have the heart to tease her further, holding her tight until their breathing gradually steadied.

Shi Yang asked for leave from his little wife: "After the holiday, I need to go to headquarters for the winter new product order meeting."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Meimei immediately raised her head, her dark eyes fixed on Shi Yang: "Can’t you not go? Let Brother Chao go. If he doesn’t want to, isn’t Brother Wenda available?"

Shi Yang reached behind Zhao Meimei and pinched her firm bottom, "The franchisee back home has already signed a contract with me, and I estimate their franchise store will be officially operating by the end of next month, just in time for the winter new products. I have to take them with me to order this time."

Zhao Meimei keenly picked up on a key term from this conversation. She shot him a sidelong glance and asked, "Are you taking Qian Jinqiu, who’s been drooling over you, on this trip to headquarters?"

Shi Yang, amused and frustrated, slapped Zhao Meimei on the back: "Am I some kind of delicacy with people drooling over?"

Zhao Meimei said jealously, "If you really were a piece of meat, I’d just throw you in a pot to boil you, drinking it all up with the soup."

Shi Yang playfully tugged on Zhao Meimei’s ear, "Tsk, you’re quite something, wanting to eat me up."

Zhao Meimei pulled his hand down, kissed it, and murmured, "Isn’t it because I love you?"

After the holiday, Shi Yang took Zhao Wendada and Qian Jinqiu to headquarters to order, while Liu Xiue and Zhao Dazhuang packed up and moved into Shi Yang and Zhao Meimei’s little home.

Shi Yang was always neat and tidy, organizing everything at home meticulously.

When Liu Xiue entered, she habitually wandered into the kitchen. The fridge was packed with melons, fruits, vegetables, and meats—all the dishes she usually loved to cook, chosen according to Zhao Meimei’s taste.

Liu Xiue busied herself with washing vegetables and cooking, while Zhao Dazhuang sprawled on the living room sofa, squeezing in with Zhao Meimei, the two chatting idly.

Zhao Meimei, who could never hold her tongue, clung to her dad’s arm and complained: "Dad, you have no idea how much of a trouble magnet my brother is... "

With a son-in-law so outstanding, attracting relentless admirers, any parent would usually worry along with their daughter.

Zhao Dazhuang ruffled Zhao Meimei’s hair, not taking it seriously at all: "Your brother is so outstanding and handsome, it’s natural for him to attract attention. However, they say it’s not the thief you fear but when the thief keeps thinking about you. But if you really had to guard against a thief every day, would you still be able to live?"

Zhao Dazhuang advised his daughter: "Trying to hold onto a man’s heart merely by guarding him won’t work. You need to find ways to enhance your own charm. Help your brother with house chores more often. Now that you’re in college, it’s not like high school when you were busy with studies all the time. Your brother works hard all day, and if he comes back home and still has to take care of you, who would want that in the long run?"

Zhao Meimei unabashedly declared, "My brother is willing to take care of me."

Zhao Dazhuang sniffed disparagingly, "That’s because it’s now, you’re still in the honeymoon period. Wait a few years till he gets tired, by then it’ll be too late for you to cry."

Zhao Meimei pondered, realizing her dad made sense, nodded in agreement, and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Zhao Dazhuang pointed out a clear path for his daughter: "You have to improve your personal cultivation and broaden your horizons. Your brother is such an outstanding person, managing a large business effectively. He sees more of the world outside every day and has a deeper perspective compared to others. You might not catch up with him, but you can approach it from different aspects."

"There’s a saying, a man provides for the family and a woman stays beautiful. Look at your disheveled state. Only your mom and I think you look acceptable. If your brother looks at you for too long, won’t he get tired? Who doesn’t want to look at pleasing things?"

Zhao Meimei picked up her phone, looking herself over in the screen, indeed realizing she had no image to speak of.

Zhao Dazhuang continued, "But just looking good and having a pretty face isn’t enough. Being shallow isn’t enough. Your brother liked you because he’s used to taking care of you since you were young. When you were little, you didn’t know anything, which was called innocent and cute. Adults found it endearing. But now that you’ve grown, if you still know nothing, do you think you will still attract affection?"
