"Wife, where are you going?" The man leaned in, his magnetic and lazy voice laced with temptation.
Qin Yunxi held Grace tightly in his arms, burying his head in her hair, inhaling her unique fragrance.
Grace's body suddenly tensed. "You, you're awake?"
Qin Yunxi nodded, uttered a soft "Mm," and then, in a voice so low it could charm the stars, with a hint of playful petulance, "I can sleep a little longer."
Grace couldn't take it.
She was accustomed to Qin Yunxi's shamelessness, his possessiveness, his unreasonable tyranny, but she had never seen him like this in bed.
Truly...
It made her heart race, leaving her flustered.
Grace tried to control her wildly beating heart. "Then, you continue?"
[That thing, I'm awake now, I want to get out of bed, I want—]
Every cell in Grace's body screamed to get away from the man who seemed harmless but was actually dangerous!
"Will you stay with me?" the man whispered in her ear, his voice hoarse.
Grace: "Uh..."
Hadn't she already stayed with him for so long?
The man's warm breath caressed her ear and neck, tickling Grace like foxtails, making her feel both itchy and uncomfortable.
She raised her hand to touch.
Expecting a rash, she found no terrifying large patches, only...
Goosebumps?
Were they goosebumps?
Grace wanted to savor the sensation, but the man took her fair, smooth hand into his mouth.
Mmm—
She froze as if under a spell, too stiff to move.
"Qin Yunxi..." No... we...
The man suddenly flipped over, pinning her beneath him. "Call me husband."
Grace's heart pounded furiously, her body feeling strangely alien.
So strange, so unfamiliar.
"I..." As Grace opened her mouth, the man's burning kiss descended.
Grace had never experienced anything like it; it was as mystical as a roller coaster, as if she were floating on clouds.
But it was different, a wondrous, ineffable...
Grace wanted to resist, to push him away, but she had no strength.
Not an ounce of strength, her entire body felt drained by Qin Yunxi...
The room's temperature climbed, their breaths growing more rapid.
But suddenly, the phone rang again.
"Zzzt zzzt zzzt—"
Who was it!
Didn't they know interrupting at a time like this was a major buzzkill?!
Qin Yunxi reached out a hand to grab the phone—he wanted to smash it.
"Zzzt zzzt zzzt—"
The cold vibration of the phone rapidly cooled Grace's mind. Qin Yunxi's free hand also gave her the chance to push him away. "Answer the phone first."
Qin Yunxi was reluctant to let his beloved slip away. "No."
Glancing at the screen, he hung up and lunged at her again like a hungry wolf.
Grace, startled, covered his mouth tightly with her hands. "What if it's something urgent?"
Qin Yunxi responded shamelessly, "You are my most important urgent matter right now."
Grace: "..."
This man! What nonsense was he spouting?
She—
Her palm was swept away by the man's lingering touch, a jolt of electricity spreading from her fingertips throughout her body. How could Grace contend with the battle-hardened Qin Yunxi?
Qin Yunxi had perfected the art of pleasing women, of rendering them defenseless, and of igniting their most primal desires.
In just a moment, Grace's last vestiges of reason were stripped away by the man.
But just as they were both succumbing to their desires, the phone rang and vibrated yet again, like a death knell.
