Dominant Marriage: The CEO's Overbearing Love

Chapter 211 - 190 Preparing for Pregnancy, No Alcohol_2

She naturally couldn’t bear to push him away, so she gradually relaxed her body and let him hold her.Just as a hint of disappointment flickered in her eyes, his hand moved, his arm pressing against her chest. Before Gu Qimiao could feel embarrassed, his leg bent and squeezed between hers.

Gu Qimiao felt extremely embarrassed. She tried to move away but stopped when she saw that he was no longer moving. She glanced at him sideways and saw that his eyes were still closed.

Did he mistake her for a pillow?

Both of their legs were bare. She leaned against him with one leg pressed under his leg and the other resting on top of his, an awkward position that made it impossible for her to move, lest she wake him up with a sudden action.

His breath brushed against her ear, his strong arm circled around her chest, their legs intertwined, and their body heat mingling, making the deep night filled with tender, amorous moments.

Gu Qimiao took a deep breath, snuggled deeper into his embrace, and then closed her eyes.

She didn’t notice the man behind her slightly lifting the corner of his lips in the darkness.

She was so adorable that he wished he could devour her right then and there...

Having slept late into the night, by the time Gu Qimiao woke up, sunlight was already streaming in through the window. Naturally, he was no longer in bed.

However, the warmth of his body and the strength of his embrace still lingered vividly in her memory. She couldn’t help but wonder if he woke up in the same position as last night. Did he get startled by his own actions upon waking?

"Awake?"

The sudden voice from the doorway made Gu Qimiao startle and shiver. She then smiled and nodded at him.

She thought he had gone out to work.

"You sure can sleep," he said, leaning against the doorframe in his loungewear, looking at her.

Gu Qimiao just smiled sheepishly. She inwardly complained that if it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t have gone to bed so late, and she wouldn’t have woken up this late. Of course, she didn’t voice any of this to him.

"Change your clothes and come out to eat."

Fang Shaobei had come over in the morning, initially to bid farewell to Gu Qimiao as he was leaving, but found her still asleep. Additionally, Shen Yanchen had deliberately put on an air as if they had a wild night together, causing her to sleep in.

Knowing Shen Yanchen’s personality, Fang Shaobei didn’t show much reaction. He just asked Shen Yanchen to pass on a message to Gu Qimiao before he left.

The afternoon sun was scorching, and the two of them stayed lazily in the hotel. He worked at the desk by the window while she nestled on the sofa, going through the photos in her camera.

As the blazing sun set into residual twilight, Shen Yanchen, seeing that the weather had cooled a bit, packed up his things from the table and got up to say to her, "Get ready to go out with me."

Gu Qimiao thought they were going out to eat, only to find out upon arrival that it was a business engagement.

They walked over, and by the time they arrived, most of the assistants and the other party’s people were already there.

The place had a European palace-style decor, with marble tables paired with burgundy European-style sofas, and the sound of a cello’s low notes flowing in the background.

As soon as Shen Yanchen arrived, the other party respectfully reached out to shake his hand and greet him. Then they looked at Gu Qimiao and asked something. Shen Yanchen only nodded and didn’t say much.

Gu Qimiao, who couldn’t understand Czech, sat there bewildered.

She had accompanied him to several business engagements before, but each time she was merely a decorative presence, clueless about business matters. She couldn’t understand a word, let alone now with the language barrier.

However, a woman on the other side caught her attention. The woman seemed to be their translator, a beautiful Western face with fluent Chinese, adding a touch of charm to her beauty.

The woman sat right beside Shen Yanchen, her eyes subtly and intentionally lingering on him.

From her voice, Gu Qimiao vaguely realized that this must be the woman who spoke on the phone yesterday. Her Chinese was so perfect that Gu Qimiao had thought she was Chinese.

"Mr. Shen, the contract was almost finalized yesterday. Did you come up with any additional points after discussing it all night?"

Shen Yanchen didn’t speak. He just glanced at his team of assistants, who immediately understood. One of them began speaking fluently in Czech, engaging in dialogue with the other party. Gu Qimiao couldn’t understand, so she would occasionally glance at the woman.

The woman was also often distracted, turning her head to look at Shen Yanchen even when the assistant was speaking.

However, Shen Yanchen didn’t pay her any attention at all. His gaze remained firmly ahead, displaying an aura of absolute control.

After a brief exchange, both parties reached a seemingly pleasant agreement.

An assistant handed over a folder. Without looking, Shen Yanchen took a pen and signed his name directly on it.

The female translator immediately smiled and offered a glass of wine. "Mr. Shen, here’s to you. Best wishes for our successful cooperation."

Shen Yanchen pushed the glass away and glanced at Gu Qimiao. "Trying for a baby, no alcohol."

The female translator retracted the glass with a smile and looked at Gu Qimiao. "Mrs. Shen sure is strict."

Gu Qimiao was stunned but quickly understood. Their marriage must be well-known by now. It wasn’t surprising for the translator to make such remarks.

She belatedly realized that Shen Yanchen must have said "trying for a baby" on purpose, meant for the translator to hear. Bringing her along today was likely to use her presence to ward off any ill-intentioned women.

But that was fine by her; she didn’t like random women hovering around him anyway. Fortunately, Shen Yanchen had always been a paragon of abstinence, never involved in any scandals, and was renowned in the industry for being a "celibate" idol.

Gu Qimiao was dazed for a moment, and Shen Yanchen looked at her, seemingly signaling for her to say something.

Before she could speak, the female translator said, "A man shouldn’t be too tightly controlled. Bringing him along even to business meetings will make him feel embarrassed, don’t you agree, Mrs. Shen?"
