Fated Love With the Billionaire
Chapter 398: Move in and Live with Me

Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Move in and Live with Me

Chen Ningxi walked into the private room, and everyone warmly called her sister-in-law.

Cheng Qiaobei moved his chair aside, letting Chen Ningxi sit down, and casually took her bag to place it nearby.

Once everyone was there, they called the waiter to order food.

While waiting for the dishes to arrive, everyone chatted idly. Shen Rongshen received news of his ex-girlfriend’s wedding, delivered by a mutual friend of the two.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chong laughed, "Ex-girlfriend is getting married; you wouldn’t go give her a gift, would you?"

Shen Rongshen said, "Forget it, after all, there was love, I don’t want to see her happier than me."

"Hahaha..." Zhou Chong put down his teacup, "From what you’re saying, it sounds like you don’t quite want her to be happy."

"Don’t mention it, this ex of mine is always pining for me."

Thinking the next thing would be a touching story of unrequited love, Shen Rongshen said, "It’s deep feelings. She consistently cares about me; whenever there’s a funeral among our classmates, she’s out there asking if it’s me."

"Pfft——" Zhou Chong sprayed tea everywhere, quickly grabbing a napkin to wipe the water off himself, "So you’re not hoping she’s happy, and she’s not hoping you’re alive. Hey? I’m curious why you two broke up back then?"

Shen Rongshen said, "What for, it was the long-distance life. When she wanted my company, I wasn’t there; when I went to see her, she had someone else with her."

Everyone present was looking at each other, realizing he had been cheated on.

Zhou Chong quickly poured tea for Shen Rongshen, "Sorry, brother, made you think of sad things."

Shen Rongshen seemed unconcerned, "Sad? Not really, it’s all in the past. But when I self-reflect, I feel I wronged her."

Zhou Chong didn’t understand, "She cheated on you, how are you feeling guilty?"

Shen Rongshen said, "We got together in our freshman year; when we graduated, facing career choices, I planned to venture into the big city. Her family found her a job back home. She always persuaded me to return with her, but I had already gotten an offer from Jade Jiali, which definitely had more potential for growth than a small town. So we maintained a long-distance relationship for half a year. You know the rest.

If I hadn’t caught her, we would have started preparing for the wedding. After all, we had been together for almost five years, couldn’t just keep dragging it. But I sincerely didn’t want to go back to her hometown; you could say she gave me a reason to propose the break-up.

Emotionally, she wronged me. Mentally, I wronged her."

Zhou Chong seemed to understand his helplessness and sighed.

Seeing Zhou Chong frequently nod, Shen Rongshen said, "With the atmosphere like this, why don’t you share your story."

Zhou Chong said, "I don’t have any story. Adults dating, if it’s suitable or not, you can feel it over a meal."

Shen Rongshen stared wide-eyed, "You’re truly remarkable, you can judge over just one meal?"

Zhou Chong smiled without speaking, just as the waiter arrived with the food, the conversation ended.

"..." Zhou Chong’s words, said without intent, but taken to heart by the listeners.

Deng Yan suddenly remembered seeing Zhou Chong dining with Wei Lai a few times when he was at the company.

This celebration dinner, everyone drank to their heart’s content, except Deng Yan didn’t drink.

On the way back, Cheng Qiaobei said, "Looks like Zhou Chong has been interested in Wei Lai for a while now."

"How do you know?" Chen Ningxi asked curiously.

Cheng Qiaobei said, "I took Wei Lai to headquarters for meetings; every time Zhou Chong would invite Wei Lai for dinner."

Combined with what Zhou Chong said at the gathering, it seems that’s really the case.

"Does Deng Yan know?" Chen Ningxi asked.

Cheng Qiaobei said, "Hard to say."

At that moment, Deng Yan helped the drunken Wei Lai upstairs. Wei Lai was overly joyous tonight and had indulged a bit too much.

As they entered the room without even turning on the lights, Wei Lai embraced Deng Yan, her hot breath blowing onto his face, the strong alcohol making him feel dizzy.

"Deng Yan..."

Wei Lai’s restless hand circled around his neck, tiptoeing to kiss his lips.

"Mmm..." Deng Yan restrained himself and released Wei Lai’s hand, "I’ll help you inside."

Wei Lai remained motionless, asking Deng Yan through the darkness, "Do you really like me?"

Deng Yan sensed the atmosphere quickly changing, his breath heavier as he said, "...Of course I like you."

Wei Lai asked him, "If you like me, why do you avoid me?"

Deng Yan tightened his grip on her arm, his throat constricted, and he replied, "...Not avoiding. I’m afraid I won’t be able to stop."

Wei Lai whispered, "Can’t stop, then let it be."

Deng Yan’s heart skipped a beat, aware of what her words implied; maintaining his reasoning, he steadied himself and said, "You drank too much, let me help you inside first."

Wei Lai didn’t respond but was instead assisted into the bedroom.

He turned on the light and helped her sit on the bed, "You should sleep early; I’m going home."

As he turned away, his wrist was grabbed.

Deng Yan swallowed his words; no one resists the closeness of the one they love, and he was no exception.

Wei Lai suddenly stood and pushed him onto the bed, kneeling astride him, looking down from above.

"Between us, it’s about time," she said meaningfully.

Deng Yan watched as Wei Lai leaned down to kiss his lips, closing his eyes and embracing her tightly.

Their soft lips rubbed against each other, the alcohol-tinged little tongue stirring his restless heart.

Deng Yan recalled the remnants of his reason, grabbing Wei Lai’s arms to prop her up, suppressing the desires surging in his eyes, he said:

"Wei Lai, are you awake or still drunk now?"

Wei Lai’s body swayed slightly, but her eyes were exceptionally clear, "I’m very awake, aware of what I’m doing."

"Good, since you’re awake, don’t say stop then." Deng Yan hooked her nape and pulled her closer, the kiss changing from gentle and soft to rough and intense, overwhelming for a moment.

Sighing sounds overflowed from her mouth as Deng Yan turned, pressing her back onto the bed.

He propped himself up to admire her lips, red and swollen from the kiss, gently brushing them with his fingertips, applying slight pressure to open her pearly teeth, and then sank down to continue cherishing.

Dim, hazy light from the wall lamp fell on them, casting an ambiguous atmosphere.

Wei Lai’s legs were beautiful, slender and long, her skin smooth and soft like a baby as one moved up her knee.

At that moment, raindrops ticked outside, pattering against the glass with a crackling sound.

A potted plant sat on the windowsill, rainwater splashing on the leaves, nurturing the buds protected by the lush greenery, white stamens trembling and swaying with the wind.

That night, the storm outside raged, while inside there was no pause.

...

The next day.

The heavy rain had stopped, the sky revealed a fish-belly white, and the flowers on the windowsill glowed more vibrant after being nourished by the rain.

Deng Yan opened his eyes and saw the person sleeping in his arms, serene like a cat. He gently brushed her bangs aside and kissed her forehead.

"Mmm..." Wei Lai murmured.

Deng Yan looked at her, warmth gradually spreading across his brow.

"What time is it?" Wei Lai asked and then nestled into his embrace more, Deng Yan held her tighter, nudging the top of her head with his chin, saying, "It’s still early, sleep a bit more."

The next second, he heard her gentle breathing.

But Deng Yan couldn’t sleep as he gazed around her room, saying, "Why don’t you move in with me."
