Chapter 166: Sudden Turn of Events (3)

Having known each other for years, Yu Mingxin had never seen Meng Yier look so utterly dejected and soul-shattered. She was always such a serene, gentle, and soft-spoken girl.

Looking at Meng Yier, who was currently blank and numb, a sense of unease crept into Yu Mingxin's heart.

"Xiao Yi, are you alright?"

Just as she tried to struggle, a pair of strong, powerful arms had already tightly wrapped around her slender, soft waist.

Meng Yier blinked, trying to find an excuse to break the awkwardness.

"Um... it's time to get up. Aunt Yun asked me to wake you up and tell you to come downstairs for breakfast..."

"How can a morning be complete without a morning kiss? Kiss me, and I'll get up..."

Yan Yichen's lips curved upward with a hint of a wicked smile as he began to act shamelessly.

"No..."

Meng Yier flushed and refused.

"Then I'm not getting up..." Yan Yichen continued to act raspy and stubborn.

"If you're not getting up... then I'm leaving."

Meng Yier pressed her hands against his chest and attempted to get up once more.

However, the man refused to let go. Instead, the arm around her waist tightened its grip.

"You are not allowed to leave!"

"Yan Yichen, hurry up and get up..."

Meng Yier frowned, looking at him helplessly as she raised her voice a fraction.

"Just kiss me once, be a good girl, just once... and I'll get up."

The man's low, husky voice coaxed her right beside her ear.

"...Really?"

Meng Yier decided to stop arguing with him.

A kiss was just a kiss; it wouldn't kill her, and kissing him was better than dragging this out until she was late for work.

"Of course, really."

Yan Yichen stared intently at her, answering with absolute sincerity.

Frowning, Meng Yier let out a soft sigh. After a moment of hesitation, her exquisite, alluring lips finally trembled slightly as they pressed against the man's in a light peck.

Just as her soft lips were about to pull away, Yan Yichen's strong, large hand cupped the back of her head, pressing her closer to him. His lips captured hers once again, turning the passive into active.

His kiss swept over her like a storm, entangling her little tongue as he kissed her deeply.

Only when she felt the tip of her tongue go numb and struggled to breathe did Yan Yichen reluctantly release her.

His dark eyes gazed at her, brimming with intense desire, and his low, sexy voice was unbearably hoarse.

"Xiao Yi, I can't wait much longer..."

Meng Yier was slightly stunned, failing to understand his meaning for a moment as her starry eyes gazed at him in confusion.

Looking at his bloodshot eyes staring at her with burning intensity, as if he couldn't wait to devour her whole, and feeling the growing hardness pressing against her where their bodies met, Meng Yier suddenly understood what he meant. Her fair face instantly blushed scarlet all over again, right down to her delicate, crimson ears.

"No, I still have to go to work. Hurry up and get up. If you don't get up soon, I'm going to be late..."

Flustered, Meng Yier struggled to get up from his lap. Seeing her flushed face and flustered appearance, Yan Yichen couldn't help but chuckle.

The feeling of seeing her by his side first thing in the morning was truly wonderful!

It would be even better if he could wake up every morning holding her and breathing in her faint, delicate fragrance.

However, he believed that day wouldn't be too far away.

Suppressing the lingering ache in a certain part of his body, Yan Yichen reluctantly let her go. She wasn't ready yet, and he couldn't afford to scare her; he would just have to endure a little longer for now.

"Alright... I'm getting up. Wait for me for a moment, and we'll go downstairs together for breakfast."

With that, Yan Yichen nimbly sat up from the bed and flashed her a gentle smile.
