The scorching breath blew onto her face, and Lu Zhiqiao felt itchy. She tilted her head slightly, but her chin was abruptly caught, and a gentle force compelled her to turn her face back. 

Her face grew slightly warm as Qi Yan's lips approached.

Lu Zhiqiao straightened her posture, suddenly feeling a bit nervous, not because of the kiss on her cheek, but because of Qi Yan's mention of "meeting the parents." Her chest felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on it, making it difficult for her to breathe.

They had only been together for less than half a month, and they hadn't fully enjoyed the sweet and joyful taste of a passionate relationship. It seemed too fast for them to meet the parents. Besides, in her heart, Boss Qi was still Boss Qi. Suddenly having to transform into "Qi Yan's father" and even calling him "Dad" herself was something she couldn't get used to.

A hesitant expression appeared on her face.

Qi Yan sensed her emotions, as if she had anticipated it, and smiled to reassure her, "It's okay. If you're not ready, there's no rush. I'll tell them to wait for a while."

"Hmm." Lu Zhiqiao nodded and leaned closer to her. "Let's wait a little longer. I feel it's too soon."

"Okay."

Qi Yan felt that Lu Zhiqiao is particularly beautiful today. Her makeup was exquisite and charming, adding a touch of vibrancy without being overly extravagant or dull. Especially with the orange-toned reddish-brown lipstick, her lips looked plump, exuding a strong presence.

She is wearing a navy blue half-sleeve blouse with a classic stand-up collar. The buttons were fastened all the way to the top, covering her up completely. However, the more she concealed, the more it aroused curiosity about the secrets hidden inside.

Qi Yan stared at her collar, her gaze involuntarily filled with heat.

The air conditioning in the car was running at full blast, but it couldn't suppress the fire burning in the depths of their hearts. The scent in the air only intensified the suppressed desires. In the next second, Qi Yan leaned forward, like a fierce beast launching an attack, and seized those lips.

"Mmm—"

Lu Zhiqiao was caught off guard and immediately went weak. Her head almost hit the car window, but a hand quickly caught it and protected her.

She closed her eyes and allowed herself to be swept away by her impulsiveness.

The scent of creamy chocolate filled the air as Qi Yan's lips were smeared with lipstick. She paid no attention to it and was determined to make up for the incomplete pleasure from last night.

"Yan Yan—"

Lu Zhiqiao let out a low hum, catching Qi Yan's hand and turning her head to avoid it. "Not now..."

She thought it would just be a kiss, some playful teasing, but it was getting more and more presumptuous, making her uneasy. Even though they were in the car, there were people coming and going outside the office building. If she wasn't careful, they could be seen, and she didn't feel safe, especially after what happened last night. She was scared.

"Oh? So, it'll be later then?" Qi Yan immediately stopped, raised an eyebrow, and continued teasing.

Lu Zhiqiao opened her eyes and saw the mischievous smile in Qi Yan's eyes. She wasn't annoyed and cooperatively softened her voice. "In the future, whatever you want, you can have it." After speaking, she took the initiative to hook her neck and buried her face in her hair.

Qi Yan was dumbfounded.

Is this her wife?

Is this the same Lu Zhiqiao who would blush and shyly pinch her and pull her hair whenever she "bullied" her?

Qi Yan initially suppressed those thoughts, knowing it wasn't appropriate in this place. But with Lu Zhiqiao teasing her like this, those thoughts resurfaced. She blinked, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Is that so, Vice President Lu?"

"..."

As soon as she heard that title, Lu Zhiqiao felt uncomfortable all over, as if her colleagues and subordinates had immediately seen this side of her in private, which could cost her dearly.

"Don't call me that."

"I'm just calling Vice President Lu, Vice President Lu, Vice President Lu..."

Lu Zhiqiao glared at her.

Qi Yan became even more spirited, pinching her chin and smiling. "After work, who would think that Vice President Lu didn't go home and instead sat in the car at the company entrance, being held down by someone…Ouch..."

Her hair was forcefully tugged.

She quickly pleaded, "Wife, I was wrong. Please don't pull it. I'll go bald."

"Let it go bald then." Lu Zhiqiao glared at her again, but despite her words, she immediately released her grip and gently rubbed her scalp.

Qi Yan was used to being obedient and took the opportunity to peck her on the face. "No, that won't do. I promised you that I'll grow my hair."

As hair was mentioned, Lu Zhiqiao's eyes dimmed momentarily, and her grip became softer. She pressed her lips together and remained silent, her gaze unintentionally falling on the dark red scratch on Qi Yan's arm, which she had left there last night.

Then, she recalled many things.

Yan Yan doted on her, accommodated her, and in just a few months, pulled her out of the abyss for the most part. How could she not cherish having someone as wonderful as Qi Yan in her world?

Lu Zhiqiao smiled and raised her hand to cup Qi Yan's face. "I won't pull your hair anymore in the future."

As she spoke, another kiss was stolen.

….

The two of them returned home, and their daughter was sitting in the living room watching TV while snacking, completely relaxed.

Lu Zhiqiao reminded herself to act natural, as if hypnotized, and it actually worked. She put down her bag, changed her shoes, poured some water to drink, all in a natural and effortless manner, as if nothing had happened.

"Baby, eat fewer snacks. We'll have dinner soon."

"Mmm."

The little girl immediately put down the marshmallow in her hand.

Lu Zhiqiao turned and entered the bedroom, while Qi Yan sat down next to their daughter and casually grabbed a marshmallow, peeling it open to eat. "Hmm, grape flavor is pretty good."

Lu Wei looked at her, her words stuck in her throat.

"The female lead is really beautiful. She looks familiar. Who plays her?" Qi Yan naturally sensed the gaze beside her but ignored it, focusing on watching TV.

The dishes in the kitchen were all chopped and washed, and the rice was cooking in the rice cooker. She just needed to stir-fry a dish later. Taking advantage of the moment, Qi Yan helped stabilize the "situation" with Lu Zhiqiao and quickly let go of what happened last night.

The little girl must have wanted to talk to her.

Lu Wei didn't even look at the TV and said, "Wang XX."

"Oh, I remember now. She played in that drama, 'xxxx,' right?"

"Uh-huh."

Qi Yan peeled another marshmallow and ate it.

"Little Mom..." After hesitating for a while, Lu Wei finally spoke up, "I want to tell you something."

"What is it?"

She nervously said, "I want to adopt a cat."

Qi Yan was taken aback for a moment, unsure whether it was unexpected or relieving. After a while, she responded with a smile, "Why do you suddenly want to adopt a cat?"

"I've always wanted to, but Mom wouldn't allow it because we don't have time to take care of one." Lu Wei held onto her clothes and looked at her with an inquiring gaze, filled with anticipation.

"Today, I went to my senior sister's house and saw that she has one. It's really cute!"

Qi Yan reached out to grab a marshmallow but realized it was gone. She pulled her hand back and glanced at the bedroom, pondering for a moment before asking, "Niu Niu, do you want to adopt a cat because you like cats, or is it because you saw your senior sister have one and you also want to have one?"

"I like them."

"Really?"

The little girl nodded firmly.

Qi Yan continued to ask, "Can you take care of the kitten properly? You need to feed it, give it water, clean its litter box every day, and also be careful to prevent it from getting sick. What if you can't do all that?"

"No 'ifs'. I can do it," Niu Niu answered without hesitation.

Children have simple minds. When they like something, they like it without much hesitation or complexity. Qi Yan thought to herself that her daughter probably didn't dare to talk to Lu Zhiqiao about it because she lacked the confidence to persuade her mother. So she approached her instead. Her little brain was clever, knowing that Qi Yan doted on her and was easy to talk to.

Qi Yan instinctively raised her hand to pinch Niu Niu's cheek but paused, then instead wrapped her arm around her shoulder and pulled her into an embrace. "Alright, I'll discuss it with your mom another day. The probability of success is about 70 percent."

As long as Lu Zhiqiao isn't afraid of cats or allergic to animal fur, it should be negotiable.

"Hehe~" Lu Wei's eyes sparkled, and she happily held onto Qi Yan's arm. "Little Mom, you're the best. I love you the most~"

After the flight landed in Tokyo, Shu Mǐn Xi came out of the airport and got into a black sedan, heading straight for the outskirts.

The countryside was peaceful, with clean and smooth roads. The slanted-roof houses with white walls and black tiles were scattered harmoniously. The hills and mountains undulated, and the fields were lush with green vegetation, creating a secluded and tranquil atmosphere.

The scenery remained mostly unchanged, but the people were different now.

Many years ago, Shu Min Xi was a newcomer in the company with no grand ambitions. She just wanted to work steadily and earn a salary. At that time, the company was still in its early stages, and its biggest partner was the Aoki family. During a business trip, Mr. Aoki brought along his precious daughter, Saki.

At that time, Shu Min Xi had recently passed her probation period and had already secured three major deals. She showed competence in various aspects, and the boss, Gu Shuning, took notice of her. She personally mentored and guided her.

During the reception for the Aoki family, she accompanied Saki throughout the entire process.

At that time, Saki had her eyes and heart set on Gu Shuning, while Shu Min Xi had no romantic feelings and initially treated Saki as a friend. However, after Gu Shuning explicitly rejected Saki, over time, Saki lost her infatuation as well.

Saki had been residing in China and studying fine arts. She and Shu Min Xi were of similar age and had frequent interactions, which gradually developed into romantic feelings.

Shu Min Xi didn't consider herself naturally inclined towards same-sex relationships. She felt that she had been "bent" by Saki, and once bent, there was no turning back. She believed that being in a relationship with a girl was beautiful, like entering a sweet dream, and she didn't want to wake up from it.

However, she was ultimately a person living in reality and had to bow down to it.

Later, there were serious internal conflicts within the Aoki family. Mr. Aoki wanted Saki to marry someone from another influential family that matched their social status. Various complex factors came into play. They eventually broke up, and after Saki returned to Japan, she quickly got married and had a daughter.

Saki was discontented with her marriage and led a turbulent life. She realized that sacrificing her own happiness didn't bring peace to her family. In the end, she went through a difficult divorce, distanced herself from family matters, and lived alone with her daughter.

Over the years, there were intermittent contacts between them. Neither of them could let go.

Shu Min Xi's true resentment wasn't towards Saki but towards the old man. However, considering the company's interests, she couldn't openly break ties and had to endure it for many years. She had accumulated a lot of anger inside, and whenever she saw Saki, she couldn't help but make cutting remarks.

Yesterday, she dreamt about her.

With a busy schedule ahead, including a business trip tomorrow, she allowed herself to come here today. The car stopped in front of that small house, and a crowd of people had gathered at the entrance, making a lot of noise. Shu Min Xi asked the driver to keep a distance and got out of the car, walking towards them.

Those people were debt collectors from various parties. It was unclear what had brought them together today, but they all looked fierce and seemed ready to devour someone.

The small house had grown moss again in front of its door, and mildew stains were visible in the corners. Large patches of the white paint on the walls had peeled off.

Saki was surrounded by the crowd, holding her young daughter in her arms. She kept bowing and apologizing to everyone. Her face was wrinkled, with a bitter smile on her lips. Her eyes appeared lost and helpless, like withered leaves shaken by a fierce wind.

"Am I interrupting?" Shu Min Xi observed for a moment and approached.

The crowd fell silent.

The woman's gaze swept over and landed on Shu Min Xi's face, freezing in an instant.

There was a mixture of surprise, irony, and pity in her eyes…

She lifted her eyes and met that gaze, feeling a prick in her heart, but then calmly looked away.

Perhaps because she was dressed differently and stood out, the voices of the people causing the commotion grew quieter. However, it was only natural to repay debts when owed, and they stood firm in their principles. When Shu Min Xi asked about the amount, she thought it would be a staggering sum, but it turned out to be just a few million yen.

The former rich young lady had fallen to the point where she couldn't even come up with that small amount of money.

Shu Min Xi wanted to gloat, but she couldn't bring herself to laugh. As she looked at Saki's helpless and embarrassed face, she felt a surge of heartache. She had come today to settle things once and for all, and it seemed that even the heavens were giving her an opportunity.

She repaid the money on behalf of Saki.

Entering the yard, she noticed a bird's nest on a short tree, and the chirping sounds from the branches. The small house remained old, clean, simple, yet warm. The tea was still the same as last time, piping hot, blending shades of green and yellow.

Shu Min Xi didn't gulp down the tea like last time, but instead sipped it slowly in small sips, remaining silent. Her gaze fell on the doorway, watching the little girl surrounded by toys, and a slight furrow formed on her smooth forehead.

"I... I will repay you the money as soon as possible," Saki stared at her face, afraid that Shu Min Xi would be angry and vent her frustration on her daughter. She hurriedly spoke the words she had been preparing for a long time.

And then she added, "Thank you."

She thought that their previous parting meant farewell forever, but unexpectedly, Shu Min Xi had come, appearing in front of her without any defenses.

A flicker of hope ignited in Saki's once lifeless heart.

"Are you relying on child support to repay?" Shu Min Xi raised an eyebrow.

Saki lowered her head, remaining silent, her cheeks reddening with embarrassment.

"In the past, you helped me, and today I'm helping you. We'll call it even," Shu Min Xi said as she lifted the cup and took a sip of tea.

It tasted a bit bitter, not as fragrant as last time.

The tea leaves hadn't changed, and the water was the same, but perhaps it was the change in people's moods.

Setting down the cup, Shu Min Xi looked at her and said, word by word, "If you're willing, come back to China with me. If you're not willing, we'll never contact each other again."

Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Saki felt a glimmer of joy, but she also had concerns. She instinctively glanced at her daughter. However, when she heard the second half of the sentence, the spark that had ignited in her heart extinguished. It felt like Shu Min Xi was pressing her sensitive spot, forcing her to make a choice.

"You can bring your daughter with you," Shu Min Xi added.

Saki was taken aback. She lifted her head, and the smile that was about to bloom froze on her face. She saw the sympathy, pity, and even charity in Shu Min Xi's eyes. It felt like something inside her collapsed and fell to the ground.

She contemplated for a while and said, "Then let's not contact each other anymore."

She had never imagined that Shu Min Xi would accept her daughter. She believed that she should raise her own child and bear the consequences of her past mistakes. Despite the decline and no longer glorious status of her family, she couldn't let go of her pride. She was unwilling to live a life of dependence and charity.

In China, there's a saying: "There's no never-ending feast*."

*all good things must come to an end

Loneliness is the norm in life.

Shu Min Xi gazed calmly at her, her expression serene, and softly uttered one word, "Okay."

….

After the beginning of autumn, there were several thunderstorms followed by continuous rainfall, and the temperature remained high.

Qi Yan developed the photos she took in Africa into an album. She kept a copy at home and gave one to Chi Nian to satisfy her curiosity and alleviate the discomfort of late pregnancy. Then she carefully selected a dozen photos to participate in competitions and exhibitions.

In recent days, she was photographing for the company's magazine and had plenty of free time. Seeing the various high-heeled shoes in the shoe cabinet at home reminded her of the need to encourage Lu Zhiqiao to exercise, so she created a fitness plan.

On the weekend, Qi Yan took Lu Zhiqiao to a private gym.

"Do we really have to work out?" Lu Zhiqiao asked.

Lu Zhiqiao looked at the room filled with gym equipments, and a sense of fear surged within her. She had an extremely reluctant expression on her face.

"It's necessary," Qi Yan embraced her and coaxed in a soft voice, "Qiao, think about it. We both wear high heels, but you get tired after just a few steps while I'm still full of energy. Do you want to always be 'bullied' by me due to such a big difference in stamina, hmm?"

The air conditioning was on full blast, making the room cool and dim. Qi Yan approached her with a warm fragrance, like a sponge soaked in water, soft and moist, inviting closeness.

Subconsciously, Lu Zhiqiao clung to her shoulders and asked in confusion, "When have you ever bullied me?"

"Does it not count in bed?" Qi Yan smirked mischievously.

"..."

In the next moment, she was pinched.

Qiao Qiao promised not to pull her hair, and she did keep her word. Qiao Qiao took good care of her long and shiny hair, but in return, her arms suffered. Every few days, she would get pinched because of her indecent remarks, which was truly miserable.

"You always have a head full of random thoughts," Lu Zhiqiao scolded, pushing her away and heading towards the changing room with her bag.

Qi Yan followed along, acting all clingy.

The changing room was for single-person use, with no divider in the middle, but it was spacious enough for two people to change comfortably. Lu Zhiqiao had planned for them to take turns, but to her surprise, as soon as she entered and put down her bag, she turned around and saw Qi Yan following her in.

"Why don't you go first?"

"Together."

Lu Zhiqiao was taken aback, her face instantly turning red. She whispered, "You can go first..." and lowered her head, intending to leave.

As she took a step forward, she was suddenly held back by a strong force, causing her to stumble back into Qi Yan's warm embrace. When she lifted her gaze, she met Qi Yan's gentle eyes.

"Don't be shy. We've already seen everything we need to see."

The warm breath brushed against her ear, making Lu Zhiqiao tremble. Before she could say anything, Qi Yan released her and turned to get her clothes from the bag, casually starting to change.

Her figure was well-proportioned, with firm muscles and smooth lines. Long legs, slender waist. Although she was thin, she looked powerful in every way. From head to toe, it was all gradually revealed. Everywhere.

Lu Zhiqiao stared, her throat involuntarily swallowing a few times, and her cheeks gradually grew warmer.

Indeed, they had seen everything.

However, she couldn't seem to get enough of it, becoming more and more infatuated. It was as if she were a piece of iron being irresistibly drawn to a magnet, unable to control herself.

The scene was fragrant, revealing and yet not fully revealing.

Qi Yan changed quickly, putting on a matching set of couple's outfit consisting of pants and a tank top. But to Lu Zhiqiao, it was as if nothing existed. That image was already imprinted on her retina, automatically blocking out the clothes and imagining a continuous landscape instead.

Realizing her own thoughts, Lu Zhiqiao's heart raced faster, and she became flustered.

Why was she constantly thinking of all sorts of things?

Was it because this person was indecently seducing her, or was it because she was inherently...

Lu Zhiqiao raised her hand and covered her face. Her palms were icy cold, but her face was burning hot. Conveniently, there was a mirror hanging on the opposite wall. As she lifted her gaze, she saw her face flushed like a cooked shrimp.

"Wife~" Qi Yan, sensing her gaze, inwardly chuckled and leaned in to give her a kiss. "Do I have a good figure?"

"...Yes."

The sports tank top had a large round collar, revealing the straight clavicles. Lu Zhiqiao's gaze slightly shifted, fixating on those two curves. She blinked her eyes, and a gulp formed in her throat.

"Do you like it?" Qi Yan lowered her voice.

"...Yes, I do."

"Tonight, would you like to see more?" Qi Yan teased.
