CHAPTER 129: CHAPTER 123: HOW ABOUT A KISS?

Late at night, Leng Yichen emerged from the bathroom to find Bai Yiran curled up on the bedroom sofa with a laptop, wearing headphones.

The short nightdress revealed her sexy white legs, and Bai Yiran, with one hand propping up her chin, just happened to present a teasing view of her cleavage from Leng Yichen’s angle.

Leng Yichen felt his throat tighten, his body stirring with desire. He moved over to sit beside Bai Yiran without a word, nuzzling close to her. If it had been any other time, Bai Yiran would have long since surrendered to him.

However, Bai Yiran completely ignored Leng Yichen at this moment, her eyes glued to the laptop without blinking.

Leng Yichen knitted his brows tightly and abruptly snatched away the laptop she was engrossed in.

"What are you doing!" Bai Yiran looked up, displeased.

Leng Yichen set the laptop aside, his tone firm and undeniable, "You haven’t fulfilled your duties as a wife for a long time now!"

"It hasn’t been that long, didn’t we just do it last week? Give me back the laptop." Bai Yiran reached out to grab the laptop.

Instead, Leng Yichen scooped her up from the sofa with one swift motion.

"Leng Yichen, what are you doing! Put me down!"

Ignoring Bai Yiran’s protests, Leng Yichen flung her roughly onto the bed. When Bai Yiran tried to get up, Leng Yichen pressed her back down.

"What are you doing? I’m reviewing materials for tomorrow’s meeting. If I don’t understand them tonight, I’ll make a fool of myself at the meeting tomorrow!"

Leng Yichen paid no heed to Bai Yiran’s words or struggles, keeping her pinned on the bed, and then got onto the bed himself and turned off the lights.

Seizing the moment when Leng Yichen turned off the lights, Bai Yiran dashed off the bed, grabbed the laptop and her clothes, and ran out, hiding in the next room and locking the door from inside.

Leng Yichen knocked on the door, "Open the door, girl!"

"No! You can sleep alone tonight!"

Leng Yichen was left with a gloomy expression. Had he known earlier, he wouldn’t have supported Bai Yiran in managing the Bai Family business; now, he had to live like a monk!

In the meeting room, the department heads were discussing an agenda. After last night’s review, Bai Yiran could barely keep up with the pace today, avoiding any embarrassment.

But right then, Bai Yiran’s phone rang.

Yin Tianshen’s voice came through the phone, "Come over and have a meal with me!"

"Right now?" Bai Yiran glanced at the others, "I’m in a meeting..."

"Now! Don’t forget what you promised me! I’m only giving you thirty minutes; I’m at Ming Xuan." Yin Tianshen’s voice over the phone was neither urgent nor slow, but it made Bai Yiran feel incredibly anxious.

Yin Tianshen sat in a VIP room at Ming Xuan, the large floor-to-ceiling window offering a clear view of the outside scenery.

He glanced at his watch, less than five minutes before the thirty-minute deadline.

Bai Yiran, don’t be late!

Bai Yiran’s reversing skills weren’t great, and despite having a perfect parking spot, she spent over five minutes maneuvering. By the time she rushed into Yin Tianshen’s reserved booth at Ming Xuan, she was already two minutes late.

"Bai Yiran, you’re late!" Yin Tianshen sat by the window, soft sunlight filtering through the curtain, making him appear somewhat gentle.

"Sorry, I did my best to get here!"

"Just trying your best isn’t enough~" Yin Tianshen stood up, slowly approaching Bai Yiran, "Being late deserves a punishment~"

Bai Yiran instinctively stepped back, "What kind of punishment?"

Yin Tianshen smirked devilishly, "How about a kiss?"
