– Grandma said you and Daddy are working on getting me a little brother or sister! (1)

  Ye Zhen woke up the next morning under the messy blanket. She had a splitting headache. She was suffering from all of the symptoms of overdrinking.

  Still groggy, she reached a hand out for her cellphone that was sitting on the night table. Her hand was halfway to the phone when it was grabbed by another hand, and she was pulled back into someone’s arms.

  It was Lu Beichuan.

  Ye Zhen curled up and situated herself comfortably in his arms. Her back leaned against a broad and strong chest. Pressing up against her was flesh that was burning hot. Ye Zhen closed her eyes and mumbled, “What time is it now?”


  “Still early. Get some more sleep.”


  Sunlight coming through the window from the outside brightened the room. Ye Zhen, lying on Lu Beichuan’s arm and leaned up against his chest, let out a comfortable yawn. Her mind started to click the next second. Her brain, like a clock that had been winded by someone, started to work.

  She remembered celebrating their box office records at a hotel last night. Everybody on their team was drinking excessively. Some were crying and some were fuzzing. Naturally, she had quite a bit to drink herself.

  And that was all she could recall.

  Ye Zhen looked down on her own body and saw marks all over. Bits and pieces of memories rushed into Ye Zhen’s brain, and her head hurt like it was going to explode. Memories came flooding like a tidal wave.

  “Speak! Why do you like Ye Qing?…… You are even going to divorce me for her!” She sniffled. “My poor Zhouzhou. He is about to be a fatherless child…


  “Do you love me… mmm… I love you too…


  “Lu Beichuan, keep your eyes open wide. I am taking you today! You just lay there docilely!”


  ***

  She would say none of those words when she was sober, not even to save her life. Yet she said it so matter-of-factly when she was drunk. Now that they were coming back to her, her own stupidity made her feel it was difficult to breathe!

  Ye Zhen only wished she could travel back in time and strangle her drunken self, who had spewed all sorts of random stuff!

  As the old adage goes, alcohol is bad news!

  Ye Zhen felt too ashamed of herself to face anyone.

  She grabbed the blanket, pulled it over her head, and hid her body under the blanket. Not even her head could be seen from the outside.

  All the ruckus alerted Lu Beichuan. He opened up his eyes and looked at Ye Zhen, whose head could not be found and asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter?”


  Ye Zhen continued to hide under the blanket without a word. Her face was burning up.

  She felt embarrassed from everything that she had done and every word that she had said the night before.

  Lu Beichuan chuckled lightly but did not point out her embarrassment. With tacit understanding, the two did not exchange a word about what had happened the night before.

  Ye Zhen’s body moved a little. All of a sudden, her over-exhausted muscle would not have any of it. Her entire body ached, and she couldn’t help but let out a groan.

  Lu Beichuan reached out and massaged her waist and legs. That made Ye Zhen feel better instantly.

  Still groggy, Ye Zhen yawned. She felt so comfortable that she wanted to go back to sleep.

  Lu Beichuan quickly scooped her back out from under the blanket. It was bright and early and he had beauty in his arms. The young and energetic man had desires. His breathing became heavier. Leaning close to her ears and sniffing the fragrance from her hair, he said in a hoarse voice, “It’s Saturday today. Do you have any plans?”


  Ye Zhen grabbed Lu Beichuan’s hand that had been moving around as though it had a mind of its own. She turned her head and looked at him through narrowed eyes. “Speak properly.”


  Some people might appear to be gentlemanly, but that was just a disguise. They were animals deep down inside.

  Lu Beichuan chuckled softly. His warm breath landing on Ye Zhen’s ear, an er*tic zone for her.

  There were still marks left by him on her fair neck. Lu Beichuan’s eyes dimmed, and he placed his lips over it.

  It was only kissing at first, and Ye Zhen did not react too much to that. Lu Beichuan took things a step further and started nibbling.

  Suddenly, a knocking sound came from the door along with a milky voice urging, “Daddy! Mommy! Time to wake up! The sun is shining on your bottom already!”


  The voice belonged to Zhouzhou.
