Chairman Husband, Too Boorish - 220
Chapter 220 : Food and Sex are Human Nature.
Qin Mu Hua was ladling soup when she heard
this, her hand stopped moving instantly. Her expression remained largely
unchanged, but the emotions between her brows hardened for a moment.
Yan Liang pursed her lips. Seeing her mother
remain silent, she didn't speak either.
In fact, Qin Mu Hua had always said that as
long as it was her daughter's choice, she could turn a blind eye, not agonize
over it, not object, as long as her daughter was happy.
But Yan Liang knew very well that her mother simply
hadn't voiced her own thoughts. She was always compromising, and that was only
for her daughter's sake. And regarding the delicate and sensitive relationship
with the Liang family, even setting aside her father's past, there was also Li
Yun Qin. Being a woman herself, Yan Liang couldn't possibly be unaware of her
mother's lingering resentment towards Li Yun Qin.
"... Yan Liang, Mom doesn't want to
oppose your happiness, but what you just said ... I'm sorry, I don't really
want to see the Liang family. If one day you and Liang Xi Cheng remarry, Mom
will bless you. All I can do is not interfere in my daughter's marriage and
happiness. I will support you, but that doesn't mean I can get along peacefully
with the Liang family."
Qin Mu Hua's voice was calm, without much
emotional fluctuation, but every word was firm. "All I can do is ignore
it, but I can't face Li Yun Qin. Yan Liang, Mom is a woman after all. A year
ago, I didn't pursue Li Yun Qin's responsibility because I didn't want to close
the door on your path with Xi Cheng. Xi Cheng is a good man, so there's no need
to separate you two because of the grudges of the previous generation. I've
thought a lot this past year, and this is my final principle."
Yan Liang couldn't say anything, because she
had no right to refute her mother's words or demand anything more from her.
In truth, she was the most selfish person,
because in her own world, her love was everything.
How selfish could she be to make such a demand
of her mother? That woman, who almost killed her mother, now demanded they sit
together peacefully, and that woman hadn't even uttered a single "I'm
sorry."

When Yan Liang went to work at Lati the next
day, she found Li Hui Ru, the head of the design department, standing
respectfully at the door of her office, seemingly waiting for her.
"… Manager Li, were you waiting for
me?"
Yan Liang walked over and pushed open her
office door. She stepped aside. "Come in with me."
"…"
"Before, I genuinely thought I couldn't
stay at Lati anymore, but then Manager Zhuo told me that it was Director Bai
who proactively asked Manager Zhuo not to fire me … I admit what I said to
Director Bai before was a bit extreme. Anyway, thank you, Director Bai."
Yan Liang turned around, raising an eyebrow
indifferently. She said, "No need to thank me. I kept you here so you
could clearly see that I didn't climb up by relying on men. Even if my man
paved the way for me, without real skills, it would only embarrass him. So you
wait and see, I'll produce results that will convince you."
In the evening, Yan Liang revised several
design drafts. The project she had previously collaborated on with Liang's had
basically completed the initial stages and was just waiting for Liang's final
signature before construction could begin.
However, she hadn't called Liang Xi Cheng at
all.
After their last phone call yesterday, she had
said she would call him that evening, but because of what she had said to Qin
Mu Hua at dinner, she tossed and turned in bed that night, forgetting to call
Liang Xi Cheng.
Perhaps more than forgetting, she was certain
that she didn't really want to call.
A sense of guilt lingered, as if she had
always valued love above all else, only to suddenly realize now that she had
neglected the feelings of the most important person in her life …
Reaching up to rub her aching temples, Yan
Liang let out a soft sigh. Picking up her phone, she rested one hand on her
cheek, her thumb gently tracing the screen. The screen flickered with her
touch, reflecting the light in her eyes—a light that was somewhat hazy and
lost.
She didn't know how long she had been sitting
alone when her phone suddenly rang, startling her. The familiar numbers
flashing on the screen brought a flicker of tenderness to her heavy heart.
She took a deep breath before answering.
"I waited all night for your call, and in
the end, I had to call you myself."
The deep male voice seemed to carry a hint of
grievance and resentment that didn't quite match his usual demeanor.
“… I was too tired last night, so I went to
bed early.” Yan Liang made up an excuse, then quickly added, “I was too busy
today, I just stopped.”
“Busy? Have you eaten?”
Yan Liang remembered she had just eaten a
sandwich. Looking at the time, it was almost time to leave work. She closed the
files in her hand, spun her executive chair around, and took her coat from the
hanger. “… I’m planning to go home and eat after get off work. What about you?”
“Me?”
The man’s deep, magnetic voice said, “I’m
still hungry. I’d like you to have dinner with me.”
Yan Liang assumed he was joking and replied
casually, “Aren’t you in City A? If you were in City C, I’d definitely have
dinner with you. Smoking less isn’t good for your stomach. It’s about time to
leave work. I think Liang’s stock price has been rising quite a bit these past
few days. You shouldn't worry too much."
"Don't you know that the Liang family and
I, Liang Xi Cheng, are inextricably linked? It's because you forgave me that
the Liang family was able to survive."
"Smooth talker. What was the Liang family
like in the past year? Was all the prosperity just an illusion?"
"It wasn't an illusion. Because I was
thinking of you, hoping for your return, I wanted to become stronger so I could
protect those I wanted to protect."
"Liang Xi Cheng."
Yan Liang frowned. She had already reached the
office door. Holding the doorknob, she hadn't yet opened the door, but she
stamped her foot playfully, displaying a charmingly coquettish air. "...
I've only just realized how good you are at sweet talk. Tell me, how many women
have you deceived with such sweet words?"
Unexpectedly, Liang Xi Cheng replied seriously
on the other end, "... Now that you ask, I really need to do some
calculations."
Yan Liang, “…”
“Liang Xi Cheng, you’re asking for it!”
“I’m not asking for it, I’m just looking for
you.”
“…”
Before Yan Liang could understand what Liang
Xi Cheng meant, the office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. She
was still standing in the doorway when her hand on the doorknob suddenly
twitched, and she took two steps back. Looking up, she saw a tall, handsome
man, one hand in his trouser pocket, the other holding a phone to his ear. A
faint smile played on his thin lips, his eyes deep, yet filled with a
tenderness unique to Bai Yan Liang—
It was Liang Xi Cheng, the gentleness he would
only give her. No other woman in the world deserved to have that.
Yan Liang truly hadn’t expected Liang Xi Cheng
to suddenly appear before her. Her breath caught in her throat. Seeing his
exquisite features, his doting smile, it was as if he had descended from the heavens.
Her heart pounded rapidly.
"... Why ... why did you come?"
Both were still holding their phones. Yan
Liang spoke almost instinctively, still into the phone. Liang Xi Cheng raised
an eyebrow, not hanging up. His deep voice seemed to possess a magic that could
penetrate the heart—
"Silly girl, of course I came because I
missed you."
"…"
"You never called me. I wanted to see
you, so I flew over. Actually, it's not far, only 3 hours."
As Liang Xi Cheng spoke, he strode towards Yan
Liang, gently placing his hand on her shoulder and pushing her into the office.
He slammed the office door shut, reached out, snatched her phone from the
stunned woman's hand, and tossed his own phone onto the sofa beside her. His
long, slender fingers tugged at her collar, then he reached down and pressed
his hand against the back of her head, leaning down to kiss her lips precisely.
“… Mmm … Xi Cheng …”
Yan Liang let out a soft moan, her hands
instinctively reaching for the man's chest. Liang Xi Cheng chuckled gently,
nibbling at her lips, his voice low and husky, “... Baby, I'm just a normal
man. I came all this way to see you, and the reason is simple: I missed you. My
brain is thinking of you, my body is thinking of you, and after thinking it
over, I decided I should satisfy my body first, because—food and sex are human
nature!”
“…”
"Satisfy me first, then have dinner with
me, okay?"
As it turned out, the man was merely informing
her; her answer certainly wouldn't be the point. His aggressive kiss quickly
and forcefully overwhelmed Yan Liang, leaving her completely captivated by his
skillful technique. Her hands trembled slightly as she instinctively reached
around and embraced the man's strong back, her soft body pressed against his.
The two lovers were tightly pressed together, leaving no gap between them.
Liang Xi Cheng's tongue gently licked her
delicate lips, his eyes filled with deep desire. His breathing became erratic,
and he held the back of her neck, his lips pressed against hers, asking in a
low voice, "... Can we do it here again? It's not the first time. The last
time felt really good. How about we try again, hmm?"
"…"
Yan Liang's mind went blank. She suddenly
remembered what Li Hui Ru had said to her earlier. Of course, she was somewhat
resistant. Although everyone outside was probably already off work at this
hour, this was still her workplace. If they kept doing these things, would she
still be able to go to work normally?
"... No, Xi Cheng … you … you said you
were hungry? Let's eat first … um …"
Liang Xi Cheng was already on the verge of
climax; how could he eat first?
His large hands kneaded her buttocks heavily,
pressing her body against his lower abdomen, where a swollen desire was eagerly
greeting her, "... Do you think it's still possible?"
