"What are you thinking about?"
The man's rough and forceful palm slid down along her shoulder and neck, causing a shiver that made Shen Chu'an involuntarily tremble.
She pursed her lips, and when she looked up again, her face blossomed into a smile.
"Of course, I was thinking about you, hubby~"
Her cheeks flushed, her snow-white and delicate skin felt like soft silk to the touch, half of her exquisitely beautiful face hidden under her black hair, with only her red lips so colorful and tempting that one couldn't look away.
Fu Huaichen's eyes darkened, his stern face showing no expression, but Shen Chu'an had a bad premonition.
It couldn't be, they had just done it once, hadn't they?
Her face stiffened, and she subconsciously turned to flee, but someone unexpectedly caught her ankle, gave a gentle tug, and pulled Shen Chu'an back.
Before Shen Chu'an could react, a hot, solid body pressed down upon her.
"Let's do it one more time."
"Wait, wait, I—"
Shen Chu'an's voice abruptly stopped, all her effort went into holding back her sounds and serving the man.
They had been married for over a month, and the man's capabilities in bed were simply overwhelming. Even though Shen Chu'an always prepared herself mentally, Fu Huaichen easily shattered her expectations every time.
Like right now, Shen Chu'an's mind was in disarray, her teary and muddled gaze fell on the man's cold, perfect side profile, revealing a hint of confusion.
Actually... marrying Fu Huaichen had been completely unexpected.
She was originally Fu Huaichen's interpreter, and she even had a boyfriend, Jiang Yuanrui.
They had started dating since university, and after seven years of love, anyone would say they were a perfect match, destined to be together. Over the years, friends had urged them to hurry up and ask for wedding candy. Although Shen Chu'an wasn't in a rush, she still hinted at it several times secretly.
But Jiang Yuanrui always brushed it off.
Back then, Shen Chu'an naively thought he just wasn't ready, until three months ago, Jiang Yuanrui gave her a grand present—
His wedding invitation.
The ridiculous part was that his bride had nothing to do with his girlfriend of seven years.
The bride was Lin Tang, the Lin Family's precious daughter, and it was only then that Shen Chu'an found out that Jiang Yuanrui had never had the intention of marrying her, and he had even cheated on her long before!
She had wanted to expose this scumbag's true face at the wedding, but she never imagined she would see her direct superior Fu Huaichen there. He was even sitting at the main table with the bride's family, clearly having a close relationship.
Losing face was one thing, but if she lost her job too, it would be a truly devastating loss.
Moreover, knowing the extent of Fu Huaichen's influence, if she truly managed to ruin his niece's wedding feast, where in the Imperial Capital could she turn to?
Shen Chu'an understood this in her heart, yet she couldn't reconcile with it and made up her mind to return the green hat to its rightful owner.
After much contemplation, she finally came up with a great idea to get back at the scumbag—
That was to seduce Fu Huaichen and become Jiang Yuanrui's aunt!
As she was deep in thought, she suddenly heard the man's low and warning voice in her ear.
"Don't let your mind wander."
The next second, two clearly defined, slender fingers pinched her chin, and Shen Chu'an was forced to look up by Fu Huaichen's compelling action, meeting his deep and displeased eyes, which sent a shiver through her.
"At a time like this, you still have the leisure to think of other things?"
Fu Huaichen looked down, his fingertips slightly forceful, the woman beneath him blushing as well, her eyes exceptionally alluring.
Shen Chu'an was truly a bit more than she could handle, patting the man's arm and desperately begging, but it seemed to provoke the man even more.
...
When Shen Chu'an woke again, it was already the afternoon.
The bed was empty; he must have gone to work.
Shen Chu'an, dragging a body that felt like it had been run over by a car, got out of bed and, after contemplating for a while, still made a phone call.
"Will you come home for dinner tonight?"
"Mhm."
On the other end of the line, Fu Huaichen was perusing some documents, and when he heard the woman's lazy, husky voice, he paused.
"Just woke up?"
"Yeah, Mr. Fu really is strong and sturdy."
As she dressed, her fingers accidentally brushed against the kiss marks on her collarbone, causing her to hiss softly.
"Although I'm quite satisfied with your physical health, Mr. Fu, I can't keep up if we do this so often. My bones are nearly falling apart."
"Beep beep."
Listening to the crisp sound of the phone hanging up, Shen Chu'an raised an eyebrow.
Thinking back, to hook up with Fu Huaichen's golden thigh took her a lot of effort and planning, including staging several 'chance' encounters.
Who would have thought that such a great beauty throwing herself at him would elicit no reaction from Fu Huaichen, to the point where he even tossed her out of his office multiple times!
If it weren't for a few months ago when she went to deliver a document and happened to walk in on Grandma Fu hurrying him to marry, where she promptly volunteered, the position of young Mrs. Fu wouldn't have landed in her lap.
Recalling how that man coldly threw her out that day, only to turn around and send someone with a marriage proposal, Shen Chu'an's smile grew even wider.
After finishing buying groceries and just as she was about to get to work, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't finished translating her picture book.
"Forget it, Fu Huaichen won't be back so soon, will he?"
She muttered to herself and turned to grab her laptop to work.
A few hours into her work, Shen Chu'an dozed off on the desk without realizing it. She only woke up to the tantalizing scent tickling her appetite.
"Smells so good..."
As she followed her nose, her drooling gaze landed on Fu Huaichen at the table, snapping her back to full alertness!
"You... you came back so soon?"
"It's late."
Fu Huaichen glanced at the red mark on the woman's face and said coldly:
"Five hours have passed since you called me."
She had been asleep for that long?
Shen Chu'an patted her cheeks, showing a rare hint of embarrassment.
Letting her boss cook for her... Well, to be honest, it's just this guy who values his privacy too much. As soon as the housekeepers finish their shifts, they leave, and sometimes she has to fend for herself for dinner!
But these were complaints she could only voice in her heart. Shen Chu'an readjusted her expression, "Actually, I could have taken care of the cooking."
She paused, rested one hand on the table, and lightly propped her chin on her fingertips.
"Believe me, I'm just as good as a five-star chef."
"Not necessary."
Fu Huaichen dodged the toes that the woman was rubbing under the table, maintaining his usual cold and detached demeanor.
"There's no need to do things beyond our agreement. You just need to cooperate with me and join me for a meal at Grandma's house tomorrow."
After dinner, the man turned and went upstairs. Watching his cold and aloof figure, Shen Chu'an didn't get too bothered.
It was a mutually beneficial arrangement: she married him to get revenge on a scumbag, and Fu Huaichen used her to deal with family obligations. Quite fair.
And besides, having snagged such a top-notch handsome man, what else could possibly go wrong in life?
Shen Chu'an consoled herself inwardly.
...
The next day, at the entrance of Fu Group.
A red sports car sped in, the reverberating roar of the engine echoed in everyone's ears, causing goosebumps all over.
Shen Chu'an got out of the car coolly, took off her sunglasses, and casually tossed them back into the vehicle.
"That guy better not have forgotten we're visiting Grandma today."
She looked up at the skyscraper towering into the clouds, pulled out her phone, and the lazy curls fell across her neck, revealing a delicately pale chin and lips as red as the sports car behind her.
"Shen Chu'an, How dare you come to the company?!"
A sarcastically shrill female voice came from behind her all of a sudden. Shen Chu'an paused, tilted her head, and held her phone against her ear.
"Is there a problem?"
