Their hot and moist breaths intertwined together, and it was as if only this backyard was left in the world. A very light touch came from the slightly raised lips, so light that it felt a little itchy. He knew that she was approaching. 

Ji Chaozhou lowered his long eyelashes and never refused.

It was just that the touch didn’t get closer or deeper. Instead, the very light and ambiguous itch suddenly disappeared, and even her breath was moving away.

Ji Chaozhou instinctively raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him. Before he could see clearly, Cheng Liu already held his hand and was suddenly pulling him up.

Cheng Liu pointed at two unclear shadows on the grass where Ji Chaozhou’s hand had been just now and said seriously, “There are frogs!”

Ji Chaozhou: “…”

The two of them stood by the pool with their wet feet, the ambiguous atmosphere between them had all evaporated—but the pair of frogs continued to hug each other.

… …

Cheng Liu saw two frogs jumping near Ji Chaozhou’s hand from the corner of her eye. Seeing that they were about to touch his hand, she instinctively pulled him up to stand and avoid them.

Now that they were standing up, she began to regret it.

If she had time to think, she should have just reached out and pulled his hand away, and now things would still be fine.

Young President Cheng glanced at her beloved’s lips with a guilty conscience.

Could she still kiss him?

At this time, the lights in the villa suddenly flickered several times, and then a bright light turned on behind them. It was a bit dazzling.

The two frogs hugging each other seemed to be frightened and quickly jumped away.

Cheng Liu quietly glanced at Ji Chaozhou, who was expressionless, and felt coldness creep into her heart. Ah, she may not be able to kiss him anymore…

Sure enough, after the lights turned on, Ji Chaozhou returned to his usual cold and indifferent appearance, and directly headed back inside. “The air conditioner is on now.”

Cheng Liu: “…” She was not hot at all now, her heart was cold!

Cheng Liu followed Ji Chaozhou, feeling regretful: she fell asleep on their date, and now she was distracted while kissing.

She really messed this up!

The two of them walked into the living room one after another. The air conditioner had started to run dutifully, and they could feel the slight coolness after entering.

Cheng Liu was dejected for a minute, then suddenly cheered up: he didn’t push her away earlier! He must like her a little bit!

When she thought of this possibility, Young President Cheng’s heart was on fire again.

However, she didn’t have the guts to kiss him again.

She still had to confirm their relationship first, and then… then whatever she did would be reasonable!

In just a few minutes, Cheng Liu had already thought of various ways to confess her love, but when she looked up again, Ji Chaozhou was already headed to the master bedroom.

“Are you going to sleep?” Cheng Liu followed up and asked.

Ji Chaozhou opened the door to the master bedroom, turned around, and looked at Cheng Liu in the hallway with his cold and beautiful eyes. After a moment, he whispered softly, “…Good night.”

Cheng Liu froze on the spot, countless fireworks exploding in her heart. All she could think about was: he took the initiative to say ‘good night’ himself!’

She will prepare for the confession ceremony tomorrow! It must definitely be grand!

… …

Ji Chaozhou closed the door to the master bedroom and leaned against it. He finally gave up trying to restrain the violent beating of his chest and let it run amok without any scruples. He turned his head and looked at the door behind him. It seemed that he could still see Cheng Liu’s smiling eyes in his mind’s eye.

She was always so direct and passionate.

Ji Chaozhou raised his right hand, and the loose cuff on his wrist slipped down and stacked at the crook of his elbow, revealing his slender, white forearm.

The fingertips paused in the air for a moment, and after a slight hesitation, they landed lightly on his lips.

He had never known that his fingertips could be so hot, and the lips he was touching were warm and soft.

They had barely touched—.

Ji Chaozhou lowered his head, his expression unclear and his thoughts confused. Earlier she had barely grazed his lips.

After a long time, Ji Chaozhou leaned against the door, suddenly raised his head, and closed his eyes hard. The light fell on his slender and pale neck, and his Adam’s apple moved up and down, showing extreme vulnerability mixed with indescribable sensuality.

Cheng Liu lay spread out on the bed in the guest room, her heart now split in two.

Half hot, half cold.

Cheng Liu recalled the unsuccessful kiss in the backyard, still brooding over it, and comforted herself for a while: at least Ji Chaozhou didn’t push her away.

Young President Cheng turned over on the bed irritably and buried her face in the pillow.

She really didn’t mean to do it just now, but the two frogs were already about to jump onto his hand, and she couldn’t think of anything else in her desperation.

Young President Cheng was really angry, so she grabbed the phone on the bedside table, opened WeChat, and sent a message to Moments: [I hate frogs the most in my life, more than anything!]

After she posted it, she checked her circle of friends to see if there were any business partners whose experience she could learn from.

Cheng Liu scrolled with this in mind until she came across the post of a director of the car company that she worked with in City G. She clicked on it to take a quick look—and suddenly sat up straight.

The director had forwarded an article from the official website of that car company in city G. The general content was about launching a car system update, targeted for customers who have purchased their cars.

Cheng Liu read the contents of the car company’s official article several times. Their car system update has been online for more than ten days. Almost from the time she got back, the car company started to launch the update system.

It was just that the director only forwarded the link to the article two days ago.

The content written on the official website was very concise and were all basically bland promotion, but Cheng Liu was keenly aware that something was wrong.

… The car systems they intend to update were all equipped to support autonomous driving technology, and this could be replaced as long as the technology was ready, but Shenyin Technology’s technical code was not yet fully mature.

Cheng Liu got up from the bed, changed her clothes, picked up her backpack and prepared to go directly to Shenyin Technology. She had bought one of the cars of this company and had placed it in the underground parking lot.

She walked out of the guest room, and her eyes fell on the closed door of the master bedroom. The main light in the hallway was turned off, leaving only dim lights on the walls. She could see that the lights inside the bedroom were still on from under the door.

Cheng Liu hesitated for a while, then walked over and knocked on the door.

Ji Chaozhou opened the door quickly.

“I have to go to the company and take care of something, and I may not be back tonight,” Cheng Liu said seriously.

There was very little emotion on her face at this time, and there was only a calm gaze in her black pupils.

Ji Chaozhou met Cheng Liu’s gaze, “…Okay.”

“Go to bed early,” Cheng Liu said and hurriedly left.

T/N: I missed last week’s update! I health and tech issues. My bad, I didn’t even realize I left Cheng Liu on the verge of a kiss.

If A FROG jumped onto any part me AT ANY TIME, I would shriek my head off. I feel like that would ruin the kiss anyway.
