Chapter 62: Two Return Gifts

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Two Return Gifts

The Panamera’s engine ROARED.

Su Yunzhou looked exceptionally charming driving with one hand, though his other hand would occasionally "accidentally" brush against a certain softness beside him.

Liu Yiyi’s face was as red as an apple, her gaze involuntarily drifting toward the window. Only when he went too far would she squirm away or push that "annoying" hand aside.

The scenery outside the window blurred backward. Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, they arrived at Celestial Paradise Holiday. It was just a few minutes past seven.

Liu Yiyi stepped out of the car, her long legs pressed closely together. With a rosy complexion, she asked, "We’re having a feast at a hotel?" She emphasized the word "feast" heavily, clearly implying something else.

Su Yunzhou glanced at the message from Jian Shan on his phone, confirming that everything was ready. He blinked and said, "Why do you always let your imagination run wild?"

Liu Yiyi shot him a sideways glance. "What am I imagining?"

"Hehe."

The two took the elevator and came to a halt outside a room door.

Su Yunzhou smiled. "Please close your eyes, Princess!"

The corners of Liu Yiyi’s lips curled into a beautiful arc as she closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

The door clicked open. Su Yunzhou led her inside by the hand. "You can open them now!"

Before her eyes, vibrant roses exuded an intoxicating fragrance. An exquisite Western dinner was laid out on the table, centered around a beautiful candelabra. Decanted red wine sat to the side, with loose petals scattered across the gaps on the table. The entire setup felt romantic and cozy, yet incredibly tasteful.

Taking in the meticulously arranged scene, excitement flickered in Liu Yiyi’s eyes. Although she had never mentioned it, she was a romantic at heart, and Su Yunzhou’s gesture hit exactly the right chord.

"Do you like it?" Su Yunzhou wrapped his arms around Liu Yiyi’s slender waist from behind, burying his face in the crook of her neck. His warm breath brushed against her ear, tickling her and making her lose her composure.

Liu Yiyi didn’t speak. Breathing in his pleasant scent, she lowered her gaze, her eyelashes fluttering as she turned around and gently offered him a kiss. They parted their lips after a long moment.

The night was long, and it was still early.

Su Yunzhou pulled out a chair and made a gentlemanly gesture toward Liu Yiyi, who looked just as breathtakingly vibrant as the roses. "To the elegant princess! Please, have a seat."

"Hehe!" Liu Yiyi covered her mouth with a smile and sat down gracefully. She gazed affectionately at the man as he uncovered the silver tableware.

Once they were settled, Su Yunzhou picked up his wine glass and gave it a gentle swirl. "This glass is to our meeting. I’m thankful for it."

Liu Yiyi raised her own glass and clinked it against his, a crisp CHINK echoing through the room. "Thankful for our meeting."

Parting her red lips, she took a large sip of the sweet-and-sour wine. In the dim lighting and the intimate atmosphere, the two chatted as they ate. The mood was joyful and completely relaxed.

Su Yunzhou stood up and grabbed the two gifts he had prepared nearby. Walking over to her, he leaned against the table, his vantage point granting him a perfect view of a deep, alluring expanse of white skin.

"A friendly warning! One gift is very proper, and the other is slightly improper. My elegant princess, which one would you like to see first?"

Liu Yiyi arched her almond-shaped eyebrows; it was her first time receiving gifts in such a manner. "Hmm? Let’s see the proper one first!"

Su Yunzhou smiled and handed over the gift in his left hand.

"Wow! It’s so beautiful!" Liu Yiyi took the box and opened it. A flawlessly white Peace Pendant appeared before her eyes.

The circular Peace Pendant was made of delicate jade, gleaming with an elegant, pure white luster in the candlelight. Liu Yiyi could tell at a glance that the jade was highly valuable. With stars in her eyes, she reached out to stroke it, rubbing it fondly, unable to put it down. "Thank you for the gift!"

Su Yunzhou gave a slight nod. Picking up the Peace Pendant, he walked behind her. A brilliant smile bloomed on Liu Yiyi’s face as she raised both hands to lift her hair out of the way. This small display of unspoken chemistry made her heart race.

[Affinity +1]

Liu Yiyi’s skin was naturally fair and smooth; the Peace Pendant complemented it perfectly, making her look even more radiant. She wrapped her arms around Su Yunzhou, closed her eyes, and pulled him down for a kiss. This man before her was simply too enchanting.

Su Yunzhou returned the kiss passionately. Suddenly, he remembered the other gift. Wasn’t now the perfect time to put it to use? His hands stilled. Looking at the woman whose eyes now held a hint of grievance at the interruption, he spoke with an indescribable undertone. "You haven’t seen the other gift yet!"

An intoxicating flush spread across Liu Yiyi’s cheeks. With a slightly tipsy gaze, she focused on the second box. Upon opening it, she let out a gasp and covered her mouth. Her cheeks burned, and a feverish heat bloomed in her body. "You... you..."

Su Yunzhou gave a half-smile. "What’s wrong, you don’t like it? I did tell you from the start that this gift was slightly improper."

Seeing his completely serious expression, Liu Yiyi found herself both annoyed and amused. "You call this ’slightly’? You rascal, who gives gifts like this? Your left hand gives me a Peace Pendant, and your right hand gives me a set of such..." Staring at the bold and provocative design, she couldn’t bring herself to say the words. Feigning anger, she demanded, "Tell me, what exactly are you plotting?"

"Uh..." Su Yunzhou really hadn’t thought that far ahead. For a moment, he couldn’t figure out if she was genuinely upset or just pretending.

It wasn’t until Liu Yiyi let out a PFFT and burst into laughter that he let out a sigh of relief. He rubbed the back of his head, offering a somewhat apologetic smile.

Seeing his reaction, a playful urge struck Liu Yiyi. She said leisurely, "I’ll accept the gift for now, but I’m hungry."

For the rest of the meal, Liu Yiyi ate at a painfully slow pace, chewing and savoring every single bite. Su Yunzhou watched her movements with an unbearable itch in his heart. But since he was the one who had initiated the teasing, he had no choice but to wait patiently.

Finally, over half an hour passed. The bottle of wine was completely emptied. Liu Yiyi gave the restless man a victorious smile before grabbing the bag and heading to the bathroom.

A short while later, under the flickering candlelight, a fairy draped in sheer fabric appeared in the room. Every frown and smile from her exuded temptation, and those alluring eyes were absolutely captivating.

Any words used to describe this seductiveness felt pale in comparison. One could only borrow a poem from the ancients: "Through thin crimson silk, her skin gleams like ice, a fragrant, snowy perfection. Whispering sweet smiles to her beloved, tonight the gauze canopy and cool bamboo mat await."

In truth, Liu Yiyi was incredibly nervous. Her body felt so weak she could barely stand. She had never imagined a day would come when she’d be so bold, but this man made her completely lose control.

"PHEW!" Su Yunzhou took several deep breaths in a row. He was so thrilled he could practically hear the blood rushing through the arteries in the back of his neck. The feeling was completely intoxicating.

A pair of long, straight legs clad in black mid-calf stockings approached him with light steps.

"Well? Does it look good?" Liu Yiyi pursed her lips and looked up. Her large, affectionate eyes blinked at him in a playful "I just want to see how desperate you are" manner.

Su Yunzhou’s gaze darkened significantly. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and his eyes practically shot sparks. Faced with a scene like this, even a saint couldn’t hold back!

Adult love was vividly displayed when passion ignited; the same was true for the lack thereof. And tonight was destined to be a sleepless one.
