Huo Ze, unable to hold back any longer, leaned in and kissed me directly on the lips.
His kissing skills were exceptional, and I wrapped my arms around his neck.
This was what they called a plastic love—physical but not emotional.
Just when it seemed like things were about to escalate,
in that moment of reluctance to part, he suddenly wrapped me up in the blanket.
Wrapped me up.
He let out a sigh of relief and said, "Just lie there for now."
I glared at him in frustration; how infuriating to use the Beauty Trap.
The disparity in strength between men and women was evident, especially against a man like Huo Ze.
Under his control, I couldn't move an inch.
I felt like a silkworm cocooned in its shell.
He brushed his fingertip against my swollen lips and couldn't help but chuckle.
He held down my squirming body and said, "I have something to say."
I blinked at him, signaling him to let me go first.
He remained unmoved, continuing to keep me wrapped up like a zongzi.
"My mom is coming over today; she said she wants to stay here for a few days to take good care of you."
His gaze calmed as he added, "If you understand, just blink."

I once asked Huo Ze why he would choose me among so many girls.
He mentioned four reasons:
First, I am pretty, which makes him look good when we go out together.
Second, I have a gentle personality. This means I am easy to manage (the reason is my wild guess; I have no idea how he figured out that I am gentle).
Third, I know how to have fun. No matter how long he is on business trips, I can find my own entertainment, which is beneficial for family harmony.
Fourth, I am quite the performer and can play along in any situation.
Huo Ze meant that when his mother arrives later, we need to act like a loving couple.

Taking advantage of his distraction, I reached out and held his hand, saying seriously, "If we're going to act, we might as well start now and make it more convincing."
His face turned pink as he quickly stepped back. "Jiang Yao!"
He turned and strode out, his steps unsteady as if he were fleeing in panic.
I threw a pillow at his retreating figure. "Are you not up for it?"
Sighing helplessly at the ceiling, I felt frustrated.
I am so hopeless; I still haven't gotten him.
But just moments ago, when our lips were close, his breathing was rapid, and the hand resting on my waist began to wander restlessly.
Clearly, there was attraction, yet at the last moment, he held back.
He clearly has feelings for me, but...
Could it be that there really is a hidden illness?
I shivered and quickly put on my slippers, rushing into Huo Ze's room.
Huo Ze was changing clothes. When he saw me, his hand that was lifting his shirt instantly relaxed.
I couldn't help but twitch my mouth; what was this, a defense against wolves?
But there were more important matters at hand.
Huo Ze looked wary and asked, "What do you want to do now?"
I ran over and hugged his lean waist, inhaling the refreshing scent. I tilted my head up in his embrace, hesitating on how to speak without hurting his pride.
"If you have any issues in that regard, you can talk to me."
"I won't think less of you."
Huo Ze's expression shifted unpredictably.
Just then, the doorknob turned, and Mother Huo stood at the entrance.
My pupils widened as if I had heard a big secret, and my gaze towards Huo Ze became subtle.
Huo Ze lowered his head to meet my eyes, and I nervously covered my mouth.
He forced a smile as he pinched my cheek, saying, "I'll deal with you properly later."
Huo Ze's hand resting on my waist felt like it could take my life.
I suppressed the urge to kick him and obediently called out, "Mom."
She walked over with a calm expression, silently placing the bags into the refrigerator.
The air grew quiet.
Huo Ze and I exchanged glances; he shot me a glare, and I awkwardly touched my nose.
After a while, Mom slowly turned her head, cautiously probing, "Have you really... been to the hospital for a check-up?"
Huo Ze's face darkened further, glaring at me, the instigator, before explaining, "Mom, that's not true. Don't think too much."
She nodded, half-convinced, insisting that we shouldn't be so reserved and that she would go out for a bit.
That left me and Huo Ze in the kitchen.
Huo Ze said irritably, "Don't talk nonsense in the future."
I challenged him, "Then you need to prove it with your actions first."
"Childish."
Huo Ze looked down at me; we were too close, and I could see the small mole above his eyelid, his long eyelashes gently lowered, and his lips were a tempting shade of red, like jelly.
He looked very kissable.
Oh no, I was feeling restless again.
But it was fine; Mom was here tonight.
We couldn't possibly sleep in separate rooms.
Huo Ze noticed my gaze and frowned at me. "What are you thinking about now?"
I mumbled, "What are you afraid of? I won't eat you."
Huo Ze smirked and flicked my forehead. "I'm afraid your wild instincts might kick in."
I: ...
I have to say, Huo Ze has a keen eye for people.
As I stirred the egg mixture, I was plotting in my mind.
Huo Ze glanced over with his eyes, as if he could pierce through my soul and see my thoughts.
"Jiang Yao, what nonsense are you thinking about?"
I replied angrily, "Mind your own business."
After dinner, Mother Huo went for a walk, leaving us some space.
I leaned back on the sofa scrolling through Zhihu while Huo Ze picked up his pajamas and headed to the bathroom.
Soon, enticing sounds came from the bathroom.
Splashing water.
I couldn't help but sneak a glance at the vague outline in the bathroom.
My imagination ran wild.
Before long, Huo Ze opened the door and showed his face.
I was surprised, "Did you finish washing so quickly?"
Huo Ze seemed utterly speechless, and a few words tumbled out of his throat: "Help me take off my pajamas."
"The clothes got wet." Huo Ze had been on a business trip for two months, and I had tidied up his room. It had a simple black, white, and gray color scheme.
I found a pair of pajamas in the wardrobe with a cartoon pattern. When I gave it to him back then, he thought it was childish.
I rolled up my clothes and pushed open the bathroom door.
Unexpectedly, my foot slipped, and I fell directly to my knees in the bathroom.
When I looked up...
Is this what I can see?
My face turned red, and I scrambled out of the bathroom.
What was worse, Huo Ze saw me frozen in place, raised an eyebrow slightly, and asked me, "Mrs. Huo, are you not leaving? Do you want to wash together?"
Mrs. Huo.
I savored the title in my mouth, desperately trying to suppress the corners of my lips from rising.
Teasing someone for no reason is the most lethal.
I thought Huo Ze would come out looking good.
I didn't expect him to be fully dressed, covering himself completely.
Damn, he really lives up to his reputation.
