CHAPTER 89
That evening, after returning home with Qin Zhaoci, Ye Lianyin sat on the couch with nothing to do and started browsing the school forum. She quickly noticed that there were discussions everywhere about Melody's Tea.
3367: "The drinks from the shop near the school gate are simply too delicious. When I saw Ye Lianyin buying one, I wanted to take a look and taste it. I tried the five small sample cups they offered, and I was instantly hooked. The taste is absolutely amazing. I've never had a drink this good before. I originally wanted to buy one cup of each flavor, but they limit it to one cup! Crying O(∩_∩)O~."
556: "The owner really has no mercy. They limit the daily purchase to 100 cups, with only 20 cups available for each flavor. It's so frustrating. I can't even buy one!"
CryingAllDay: "Because I couldn't buy it, I tried the sample cups. But they only gave me these tiny five cups to taste, and then there was nothing left. I thought it was expensive at first, but now I can't even buy it even if I have the money."
EarlyBirdTeaDrinker: "I've decided to wake up early tomorrow and queue up. Today, I only got to taste the samples, but tomorrow I must buy a cup."
1111: "+1"
......
"What's going on? Why are you so engrossed in something?" Qin Zhaoci pounced over and leaned her chin on Ye Lianyin's shoulder as she peered at the screen.
Ye Lianyin tilted her head and pressed her face against Qin Zhaoci's, saying, "I'm browsing the school forum. The milk tea is really popular now, and many people are saying they want to go to school early and queue up to buy it."
"Mhmm, Yang Xizi told me." Qin Zhaoci's beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with a smile. She looked at the screen in front of Ye Lianyin, and her gaze suddenly became somewhat profound.
While Ye Lianyin was still wondering about Qin Zhaoci's expression and was about to ask, she felt a slight vibration in her optical brain. She looked up and saw a message notification.
[Your account has received a transfer of 88,000 star coins at 8:26.]
"This is..." Ye Lianyin frowned, her eyes filled with confusion.
Qin Zhaoci turned and sat beside Ye Lianyin, smiling as she said, "That's today's business revenue."
"Are you sure you didn't transfer it to the wrong account?" Ye Lianyin furrowed her brows.
"No, I didn't." Qin Zhaoci looked at her and said, "Didn't I tell you before? We're married now. My income is yours too. In the future, the income from the milk tea shop, after deducting employee salaries and operating costs, will be deposited into your account."
Ye Lianyin bit her lip and looked into Qin Zhaoci's eyes, her expression complex. After a moment, her dry throat uttered a low whisper, "You don't have to go to this extent, you know."
"What do you mean by 'this extent'?" Qin Zhaoci leaned closer to Ye Lianyin's face, looking into her eyes with sincerity and devotion. "Yinyin, when I say something about you, it's never just empty words. I mean it seriously. I want to be with you for a lifetime. Do you understand my heart?"
"Yes, I understand." Ye Lianyin's eyes turned slightly red as she averted her gaze, nodding and repeating, "I understand yours, and my heart is the same as yours."
"That's great." Qin Zhaoci embraced Ye Lianyin's waist. "From now on, the income won't be transferred daily. I'll have Yang Xizi deposit it into your account monthly. This will be the money I earn in the truest sense. Of course, I'll make sure to earn back the initial investment I made."
"Oh, there's one more thing. I've already had Secretary Sun apply for a new company. I'll be the actual controlling shareholder of that company, but it will be under the name of the Qin Group. I plan to focus on operating food and beverage projects, such as the milk tea shop, in that company. And once Pastoral planet is on the right track, we might open other branches."
"Mhmm." as Ye Lianyin listened to Qin Zhaoci's plans, she realized that she also needed to strive to catch up with her. She wanted to finalize the office building with Lin Jiayi as soon as possible.
And there's one more thing," Qin Zhaoci blinked rapidly, looking at Ye Lianyin.
Ye Lianyin had been waiting for Qin Zhaoci to speak, but she just stared at her with suggestive eyes, leaving Ye Lianyin completely puzzled. "What's wrong? If you have something to say, just say it."
Qin Zhaoci blinked and then leaned down to whisper something in Ye Lianyin's ear.
Ye Lianyin's face turned red, and she remained silent for a few seconds. She clenched her fist and coughed lightly before nodding. "Okay."
"Hehe, then I'll go and get it!" Qin Zhaoci gave Ye Lianyin a firm kiss and excitedly ran upstairs.
That night, when Ye Lianyin pushed open the bedroom door, she saw Qin Zhaoci, who had already finished washing up, sitting on the edge of the bed in a a camisole nightgown, with her long hair cascading down. Ye Lianyin's face blushed slightly.
Qin Zhaoci also noticed her momentary shyness and smiled, pointing to the wardrobe and bathroom. "Yinyin, I've already filled the bathtub with water."
"Mm, okay." Ye Lianyin nodded and pushed open the bathroom door. She noticed a toothbrush with toothpaste squeezed onto it on the washstand, along with a cup filled with water.
Ye Lianyin picked up the toothbrush and glanced at the washstand. She noticed another cup, which was black, matching the white cup she held in her hand. It was obviously a pair.
After discovering it, Ye Lianyin shook her head with a helpless smile. "Indeed, I wondered why it wasn't my original wash cup."
After finishing her skincare routine, Ye Lianyin came out in a bathrobe. Qin Zhaoci patted the chair at the vanity and waited for her to sit down before starting to blow-dry her hair.
Through the vanity mirror, Ye Lianyin watched Qin Zhaoci blow-drying her hair with a serious expression. Qin Zhaoci's eyes were gentle and affectionate, and there was a faint smile on her lips.
"All done blow-drying." Qin Zhaoci said as her fingers ran through Ye Lianyin's hair, leaving a subtle scent of lemons on her nose.
Ye Lianyin nodded, stood up, and arranged her hair before walking into her wardrobe to change into her pajamas.
By this time, Qin Zhaoci was already lying on the bed. When she saw Ye Lianyin come out, she became somewhat shy. Her cheeks slightly reddened, and she asked somewhat bashfully, "Which side do you want to sleep on?"
"I'll sleep on your right side." Ye Lianyin pointed to the empty space beside Qin Zhaoci and lifted the covers as she lay down.
Qin Zhaoci turned over and gazed at Ye Lianyin, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Ye Lianyin turned over and looked at her, softly asking, "What's wrong?"
"I'm just admiring your beauty." Qin Zhaoci touched Ye Lianyin's face. "I truly hit the jackpot by marrying such a beautiful wife."
"Oh, come on," Ye Lianyin found it amusing. "It was your mother who brought me to your doorstep."
"Ah, that's true. Thank you to my two mothers." Qin Zhaoci clasped her hands together with a smile on her face.
"Oh, please." Ye Lianyin laughed and playfully pushed Qin Zhaoci's shoulder.
However, this time, the sensation that came through wasn't the feeling of clothes but rather something smooth, tender, and warm.
Ye Lianyin was momentarily stunned when she touched it. It seemed like her hand had developed a liking for this sensation. She couldn't control herself and continued to explore downward, unable to resist caressing it gently.
It was only when she heard Qin Zhaoci's slightly heavier breathing in her ear that she snapped out of it. She intended to retract her hand, but Qin Zhaoci quickly grabbed her wrist.
Qin Zhaoci narrowed her eyes dangerously, leaning closer to Ye Lianyin's face. Her voice was low as she said, "You want to run after touching me?"
Ye Lianyin blinked her eyes, not understanding why, but she sensed a hint of grievance in Qin Zhaoci's tone.
Seeing Ye Lianyin's innocent expression, Qin Zhaoci clenched her teeth in frustration. She grabbed the back of Ye Lianyin's neck and kissed her lips.
In the warm, dim light of the bedroom, the atmosphere gradually grew more ambiguous.
Ye Lianyin slowly responded to her kiss.
It wasn't until they felt a cool sensation on their necks that they snapped back to reality.
Ye Lianyin was almost breathless from the intensity of the kiss. She looked at Qin Zhaoci, whose eyes were gradually clearing up, and her own eyes were slightly red. Her breathing was erratic, but she didn't say anything to refuse.
As for Qin Zhaoci, she looked at Ye Lianyin with her hair slightly disheveled, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes filled with a dazed gaze. A wave of restlessness surged within her.
However, her rationality reminded her that they couldn't continue like this. She quickly rolled off the bed and rushed into the bathroom.
Ye Lianyin watched Qin Zhaoci's flustered state and remembered her own reaction earlier. She lifted her arm to cover her eyes and couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing for a while, Ye Lianyin got up from the bed and went to the wardrobe and took a pair of underwear. She then turned and went to the adjacent guest room's bathroom to take a shower.
Qin Zhaoci emerged again two hours later. The feeling was reminiscent of the last time Ye Lianyin had gotten drunk. Thinking about it, Qin Zhaoci let out a soft sigh and quietly lay down beside Ye Lianyin, who seemed to have already fallen asleep.
Just as she turned off the lights, Ye Lianyin suddenly snuggled into her embrace and lazily whispered, "Did you take a cold shower?"
"Mhm," Qin Zhaoci nodded, her face blushing.
In the darkness of the room, Ye Lianyin couldn't see Qin Zhaoci's flushed face. She suppressed a smile and nodded slightly, saying, "Well, actually, I don't mind."
"Too fast." Qin Zhaoci shook her head. "I want to take it slow with you."
"Alright." Ye Lianyin's smile deepened. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight." Qin Zhaoci kissed Ye Lianyin's forehead and they both drifted into a peaceful slumber.
............
"You slept with Qin Zhaoci!" Shan Pan exclaimed, covering her mouth with excitement. Her eyes were filled with the delighted expression of witnessing a favorite couple.
"You don't have to be so loud!" Ye Lianyin grabbed her hand and glanced at the passing classmates around them. After confirming that no one had heard, she frowned in exasperation. "We just slept on the same bed, don't overthink it."
"What do you mean overthink?" Shan Pan smirked with a hint of ambiguity. "Isn't that a progress?"
"She said she wants to take it slow." Ye Lianyin glanced at Shan Pan. "She invited me to watch a movie together after school this afternoon."
"Ah, that's great." Shan Pan's eyes were filled with envy. "Qin Zhaoci must really like you if she wants to take it slow with you."
