Chapter 430: Heard You Got Shelved (35)

After carrying her into the bedroom, Yu Jingchen placed her gently on the bed.

But before Xiaoguai could even catch her breath, the restless figure on the bed turned over and grabbed hold of him again.

Xiaoguai was on the verge of tears.

“Brother Yu, please wait for me a moment. I’ll step out and call the driver.”

Yu Jingchen nodded.

Once Xiaoguai left the room, his eyes remained fixed on the person lying on the bed.

Her peaceful, sleeping face was alluring.

The blush on her fair cheeks made her even more beautiful, and the sheen on her lips was irresistibly tempting.

And so, Yu Jingchen gave in.

Leaning down, he brushed his lips against hers, letting out a low chuckle.

“Sister Xiaoxing, you’re so adorable.”

Staring at her face so close to his, he murmured softly, “Do you remember the time we filmed that kiss scene? I almost couldn’t hold myself back.”

Shen Mubai was deep in slumber, entirely unaware of what was happening.

Yu Jingchen gazed at her for a few moments before leaning in again.

This time, he pressed his lips firmly against hers, gently prying them apart to explore and tease.

The soft sound of kissing filled the quiet bedroom.

Shen Mubai, half-asleep, drowsily opened her misty eyes.

Yu Jingchen froze, his eyelashes lowering slightly as he looked into her eyes.

Testing the waters, he whispered, “Sister Xiaoxing?”

She mumbled something incoherent and quickly closed her eyes again, her breathing evening out.

Yu Jingchen let out a small laugh, rubbing his forehead.

His bright eyes curved with amusement as he murmured, “I really want to… devour you whole.”

When Shen Mubai woke up, her head throbbed slightly, and she felt a little dizzy.

After a quick wash, she pushed open the bedroom door and walked into the living room.

A mouthwatering aroma wafted to her nose, making her eyes brighten.

When she spotted the familiar figure, she paused in surprise. “Jingchen?”

Yu Jingchen turned at the sound of her voice, flashing a shy smile.

“Sister Xiaoxing, you’re awake.”

Shen Mubai stood there, bewildered, wondering how he had ended up in her apartment.

Before she could ask, Xiaoguai’s voice came from nearby, “Sister Xiaoxing, does your head still hurt?”

Pulling Xiaoguai aside, Shen Mubai lowered her voice in a panic.

“Why is he in my apartment?”

Xiaoguai’s expression turned a bit awkward.

“Sister Xiaoxing, don’t you remember what happened last night?”

A sinking feeling crept over Shen Mubai.

Seeing her reaction, Xiaoguai quickly recounted the events of the previous night.

Shen Mubai wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.

Unfortunately, before she could figure out what to do, Yu Jingchen emerged from the kitchen with breakfast, smiling bashfully.

“Breakfast is ready.”

The toast was perfectly golden, the eggs looked delicious, and the fragrant lean pork congee was enough to make anyone’s mouth water.

Taking a bite of the toast and a sip of the congee, Shen Mubai momentarily forgot her embarrassment and gave him a thumbs-up. “Jingchen, your cooking is amazing!”

Yu Jingchen blushed slightly at the compliment, his voice humble.

“It’s nothing, really. Just something simple.”

Xiaoguai, also enjoying the meal, couldn’t help but chime in.

“Brother Yu, you’re kind, handsome, and now you can cook too. Whoever marries you in the future will be so lucky.”

Yu Jingchen’s long, curled eyelashes fluttered slightly as he stole a quick glance at Shen Mubai.

His voice soft with shyness, he replied, “That’s still a long way off.”
