The film set.
Jin Ye stopped the car, leaned in, and whispered into Su Ding's ear, "I'll pick you up tonight."
His deep voice slowly echoed by her ear...
Su Ding's earlobes flushed slightly, her breath catching almost imperceptibly, "...Okay."
She lowered her gaze, about to push Jin Ye away, but saw he didn't move. His warm breath touched her face; his presence was a temptation to her.
Especially since the scenes from last night were still vivid...
Her face burned with embarrassment. Just as she was about to say something, she felt the seatbelt being unbuckled.
"Helping you with your seatbelt."
Jin Ye’s dark eyes fixed on her blushing, shy face, his lips curling into a playful smile. "No rush, I'll want you again tonight."
Boom!
Su Ding was so embarrassed she couldn't lift her head. She hastily tried to get out of the car, wanting to flee.
The moment she pushed the car door open, her wrist was caught. The man leaned in and captured her lips...
A kiss as light as a dragonfly touching water.
Jin Ye cupped her alluring face, gently kneading her soft earlobe. "I'm sorry I've neglected you these past few days."
Su Ding looked into the man's deep, earnest eyes on her and could no longer voice any accusations.
The suppressed grievances from the previous days surged into her heart, her eyes uncontrollably welling up. All her strength could not withstand this tenderness.
After all, no matter how strong and unyielding she appeared, she still held a humble expectation for that bit of warmth and indulgence...
"Mhm, don't do that again next time."
Su Ding's voice was thick with a stuffy nose, and her luminous eyes shimmered with unshed tears. Her nose tip was slightly red, appearing fragile and lovely.
Jin Ye's heart ached even more. He solemnly promised, "Alright, I promise you."
After Su Ding got out of the car, Jin Ye turned around and headed to his company.
Su Ding went to the set for makeup. She glanced at the time and then sent a WeChat message to Jiang Jiayi, asking about her injury and saying she would visit at noon.
Jiang Jiayi declined: Ding Ding, my best friend is staying at my place these few days. She's studying nursing, so you don't need to worry about me. Hurry up and catch up with your filming schedule! She ended with a little bear kissing emoji.
Su Ding: Then take good care of your injury. I'll visit when it's convenient. Little bear kissing JPG.
Putting down her phone, Su Ding suddenly remembered: Didn't Jiayi say she had just returned to the country and had no friends here? How could her nursing student best friend be staying at her house?
She was puzzled for a moment, but her thoughts were quickly interrupted when the director called her.
The tense filming was in its final few scenes.
That evening, Jin Ye arrived at the film set as promised to pick her up after work.
"Are you hungry?" Jin Ye asked.
Su Ding touched her stomach and looked at Jin Ye, "A little. Do you have any plans?"
"Then let's go to a restaurant first, and then we'll go look at houses."
"Houses?" Su Ding asked in surprise.
"I had my secretary look at a few earlier, but I was delayed by a business trip. Let's go take a look today," Jin Ye's steady voice was very pleasant to hear.
Su Ding thought about it. Moving houses was also for better care of Xiao Xi.
"I remember you said there was a suitable one near the old house?" she asked.
"Mhm, it's a three-story European-style old villa. The location and size are quite suitable. The owner has already moved out. We'll go see it tonight."
Jin Ye took out his phone, "There are two other properties. Luo Zhu has sent the detailed information to my email. Take a look."
Su Ding was handed the phone and was stunned for a moment.
"The password is your birthday," Jin Ye added casually.
He had found out information about Su Ding since they first met, and on the day they confirmed their relationship, he had changed the password to her birthday.
At the end of next month, it would be her birthday. He would still have a chance to prepare a gift.
"My birthday?" Su Ding looked at Jin Ye in surprise. Jin Ye remained expressionless, as if this were a perfectly normal thing.
She didn't intend to snoop through her partner's phone, but she hadn't expected Jin Ye to trust her this much. Her heart instantly felt warm.
