Chapter 959: A Different Xia Qiuru
The storm has just subsided, and the wind has swept away the clouds!
The two of them lay on the bed, drenched in sweat. Perhaps such an outcome was something neither of them expected.
However, while this affair seemed sudden and unexpected, it was actually inevitable!
Both of them knew very well about their feelings, but they just kept repressing them intentionally.
Even when there was some ambiguity, it was immediately pulled back!
Yet, these feelings did not dissipate; instead, they accumulated more and more!
As long as there is a suitable outlet, it would naturally erupt like a flood or a beast!
And tonight, the two stayed in one room, slept in one bed, under one quilt; if nothing happened, that would be abnormal!
"I'm sorry!"
"I'm sorry!"
After a moment of silence, the two spoke at the same time.
"Why say sorry? No matter how you look at it, men benefit from this situation."
Su Chen smiled slightly. He had already thought it through; it happened, and he could only face it positively.
"Do you really like me then?"
Xia Qiuru couldn't help but look at Su Chen and ask.
Women are like this; even if they know the answer in their hearts, they are never satisfied until they hear it directly from the other person.
"What do you think? I'm not an animal driven by instincts, nor haven't I seen beautiful women."
Su Chen reached out and gently pulled Xia Qiuru into his arms, kissed her forehead softly, and smiled.
Now that things have reached this point, Su Chen decided not to avoid it anymore.
"I still have to say sorry for causing trouble for you."
Xia Qiuru said, considering he was a married man and her boss.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it."
Su Chen touched her smooth long hair and said.
In his heart, he sighed; the issues with Eniel and Du Hanbing hadn't been resolved, and now there was Xia Qiuru.
For now, they could only take things step by step, but a confession was inevitable.
Afterwards, the two embraced and rested...
The next morning, when Su Chen woke up, he went downstairs for breakfast, then said Xia Qiuru wasn't feeling well, possibly caught a cold, and personally took some breakfast upstairs for her.
Given Xia Qiuru's condition today, she wasn't fit to get out of bed, but thankfully her parents didn't mind much.
As Xia Qiuru ate breakfast, she felt something special in her heart!
Did she just become his woman like this?
She felt as if everything was a dream, without any mental preparation!
But the stronger feeling was happiness!
The two originally planned to return to Yandu today, but it seemed unlikely now, so it had to wait until the next day!
Following that, Su Chen spent the entire day practically with Xia Qiuru.
By noon, Xia Qiuru was feeling much better, so she got out of bed.
After their relationship transitioned, their way of interaction naturally changed!
Of course, Xia Qiuru found herself at his advantage many times, resulting in endless playful complaints!
Though previously, they often had fairly intimate gestures, overall there was restraint. Now, there was no need for that!
At night, Su Chen initially worried that her body couldn't handle it and didn't intend to do anything. But Xia Qiuru knew such opportunities would be rare after returning to Yandu, so still...
Early next morning, Xia Qiufeng drove back. Initially not picking them up was a stretch, but not sending them off would be inexcusable.
This time, he brought his girlfriend along, whom he had been dating for over a year, known by the family, though Xia Qiuru hadn't met her.
Last year when they returned home, their relationship was still fresh, so he didn't bring her. This time Xia Qiuru actively requested him to.
Upon meeting the young woman, Xia Qiuru liked her immediately, giving her a big red envelope, which was prepared in advance.
The girl was stunned upon seeing Xia Qiuru; she had heard Xia Qiufeng mention his sister's beauty but was somewhat skeptical. Seeing her in person, she found her even more gorgeous than expected.
She thought to herself: Perhaps only such a woman is suitable for her brother-in-law!
Ever since knowing Su Chen was a general, the girl had shown some respect towards him, which was natural!
Su Chen discreetly asked Xia Qiufeng about his girlfriend's condition these days, given the previous events were quite impactful.
Xia Qiufeng said she initially felt slightly shaken, but is now much better, and Su Chen felt relieved upon hearing this.
After bidding farewell to their parents, Xia Qiufeng drove Su Chen and Xia Qiuru away.
This time, they weren't heading to Pengyue County, but Mingzhou City, because only Mingzhou has an airport.
"Sis, how come I feel you look prettier than you did a couple of days ago?"
While driving, Xia Qiufeng glanced at the rear-view mirror and said:
"Hmm, seems like there's more femininity!"
"What nonsense are you talking?"
Xia Qiuru scolded, then quietly glanced at Su Chen beside her, her face blushing slightly.
"Exactly, your sister has always been this beautiful and feminine!"
Su Chen chuckled.
"Beautiful indeed, but definitely somewhat different from a few days ago!"
Xia Qiufeng pursed his lips.
With those words, Xia Qiuru felt even more bashful...
By nearly noon, they arrived at Mingzhou Airport, where they had a quick lunch at the airport.
After lunch, Xia Qiufeng and his girlfriend drove back, while Su Chen and Xia Qiuru waited for a bit before boarding the flight to Yandu.
By evening, the plane gently landed in the night at Yandu Airport.
Su Chen's car was still parked at the airport, so he drove Xia Qiuru back.
Knowing they'd be working and living in Yandu for a long time, people from Belle Group had already rented or bought houses; the initial apartments were only temporary accommodations.
Now Xia Qiuru's rental was in a medium-to-high end district in City South, mainly inhabited by white-collar workers.
"Alright, you're still recovering, hurry back to rest, only two days till work starts."
Upon getting out of the car, Su Chen smiled and said.
"Okay, I know, you should rest early too."
Xia Qiuru nodded slightly.
Returning to Yandu felt like nothing changed, yet their relationship had already transformed.
A night breeze blew, ruffling a few strands of her fine hair. Xia Qiuru naturally extended a slender hand, placing the strands behind her ear.
Such a gesture exuded feminine elegance!
"How about a farewell kiss?"
Su Chen grinned mischievously at Xia Qiuru.
Inwardly, Xia Qiuru trembled slightly!
Then, Su Chen pulled Xia Qiuru into his arms, bowed his head to kiss her, and embraced her tightly.
Beside the dim street lamp, their shadows stretched long and far...
