Chapter 95: Hold Me Tighter

"What's the matter?" Han Yangting asked, taking the opportunity to pull her into his embrace.

Who let her dodge him like that? The more she dodged, the tighter he wanted to hold her.

She struggled a little in his arms, but he was holding her so tightly that she had no choice but to say, "It's just... the night before last, did we... uh... take any precautions?"

"No," Han Yangting said.

Bai Shuruo was instantly nervous: "Then I'll go buy some medicine to take in a while."

"No need, last night was a safe period," Han Yangting said.

Bai Shuruo widened her eyes: "How do you know that?"

Han Yangting took the mobile phone from the tabletop and opened one of the apps: "This is a record of your menstrual cycle. Your period just ended the day before yesterday, and we were together yesterday, so there is a high probability you won't get pregnant."

Bai Shuruo thought about it carefully, and it really was like that.

"You even record this? How do you know... know when I get my period?"

He held her a little tighter: "We've been living together for so long, how could I not know such a small thing?"

No wonder every time those few days of her period came around, he would put brown sugar in her juice.

Bai Shuruo immediately felt guilty, and at the same time, a trace of being moved.

Asking herself, he was truly very good; such a husband as him was beyond reproach.

Han Yangting knew her heart had softened and took the opportunity to kiss her again. This time, because of her guilt, she didn't dodge, but as a result, his kissing became more and more excessive. As he kissed her, her loose sweater was suddenly grabbed by his large hand and removed.

She felt a chill on her body and instinctively resisted: "Brother Han, breakfast..."

"Eat it later."

"But, I... still have to go to work."

"I'll take you in a while."

He panted heavily as he carried her to the sofa, then took a condom out of the coffee table drawer.

Half an hour later, Bai Shuruo was once again limp like a pile of mud, lying on the sofa with no strength left; her neatly styled bun was undone, and her clothes were scattered everywhere.

He, on the other hand, was still perfectly neat.

When he got up, he even looked her up and down, making her face turn bright red, and she had to pull a blanket over herself to wrap up.

"Brother Han, y-you, turn around."

He raised his eyebrows and teased her: "Is there anywhere on your body that I can't look at?"

"It's different, hurry up and turn around."

Han Yangting listened to her and turned around; she hurriedly put on her clothes and carefully tied her hair back up.

It was also strange; it had been very painful the first night, but this second time, it didn't hurt at all.

In fact, there was even a bit of pleasure, and a longing for next time.

Sure enough, that kind of thing didn't matter before you'd done it, but once you had, you'd get addicted.

She went over to eat noodles, and Han Yangting ate on the side as well, watching her with a smile while he ate.

Her face turned red again; she hurriedly finished the noodles and then said: "Brother Han, I-I'll take a taxi to work myself."

"I'll take you."

"No need, I'll go myself!" She was just about to dash out the door.

Han Yangting called out to her: "Your phone!"

It turned out her phone had been left on the table, so she had to run back to get it; she didn't dare look at him and just ran off in a panic.

Unsurprisingly, Bai Shuruo was late that day.

But the new company's environment was relatively relaxed, and she was considered someone with connections, so being a few minutes late was no big deal.

Before entering the office, she ran into Bai Shunan, who was passing by.

Seeing her younger sister looking like she was in a rush, Bai Shunan couldn't help but smile: "Ruoruo, don't rush like this next time. Even if you're half an hour or an hour late, it's fine. You're newlyweds, we understand."

"Sis, what are you saying? I just... overslept," Bai Shuruo said with a red face.

"Right, you just overslept, you little lazy pig." Bai Shunan took off her own silk scarf and put it around Bai Shuruo's neck to cover the red spots on her neck, then smiled again: "Remember to return the scarf to me tomorrow."

"Sis, you're so bad!" Bai Shuruo hurriedly fled into the office.

Bai Shunan stood where she was, wearing a motherly smile.

Before long, Ling Feng's voice came from behind her: "That couple really makes others envious."

"Who's to say they don't?" Bai Shunan turned around and said.

Ling Feng walked up to Bai Shunan, his hands casually tucked into his pockets: "If you feel lonely and cold, you can find me. My embrace is open to you at any time."

Bai Shunan laughed, looked up, and patted Ling Feng on the shoulder: "Brother, don't joke."

"Brother? Do you think you're a man?"

"I think you're a woman."

Ling Feng wasn't angry; instead, he started to laugh: "Then does this little sister need a big hug?"

Bai Shunan said: "No need, this little sister is made of copper and iron, impervious to swords and spears."

They got off work earlier than usual tonight.

It was spring, and Fengcheng had a light drizzle every day; the temperature wasn't high, but the humidity was heavy, carrying a trace of chill.

Bai Shuruo left the company and wanted to take the subway.

Taking a taxi this morning had cost over twenty, and she wasn't willing to take a taxi again.

As a result, she had only walked a few steps when she heard a car horn honk nearby. She instinctively turned her head to look and saw the Land Rover that Han Yangting used to drive.

The car window rolled down, and Han Yangting waved from inside the car, signaling her to get in.

She hurriedly got into the passenger seat.

"Brother Han, when did you arrive? Did you... come to pick me up?" Bai Shuruo asked.

"Of course I came to pick you up, who else did you think I came to see?"

Bai Shuruo wanted to say, Ling Feng, or Leizi.

Seeing that she hadn't fastened her seatbelt, Han Yangting leaned over and pulled the seatbelt across to fasten it for her.

Although his arms were long, the car cabin was wide, so the movement was still a bit difficult, and while pulling the seatbelt, his hand accidentally brushed against her chest.

Bai Shuruo immediately sat up straight.

Han Yangting realized it, and he actually apologized to her: "Sorry, I didn't mean to."

It would have been better if he hadn't apologized; the more he apologized, the more awkward it became.

"It, it's okay."

"Do you want to eat some snacks? I prepared some in the car," Han Yangting said.

He was not a person who liked to eat snacks, so they must have been prepared for Bai Shuruo.

Bai Shuruo was suddenly moved again; she opened the small storage compartment in the car and saw that there were cookies, candies, and beef jerky inside.

She took out a small bag of cookies and started eating, while he focused on driving.

It was only nine o'clock when they returned home, neither early nor late.

"Does Ruoruo have any other work tonight?" Han Yangting asked her while changing his shoes in the entryway.

"No more." Bai Shuruo had finished the first draft today and wanted to relax for a while.

He then said: "Then come work out with me. During the time I was in Beishi, you must not have been working out properly. I touched your waist this morning, and the flesh on it has become slightly loose."

"Ah?" Bai Shuruo subconsciously touched her own waist.

Although she had lost a little weight during this time, her waist was indeed a bit slack, which was due to sitting for long periods.

He pulled her in front of him, looking as if he cared about her: "Practice with me, and your waist will be firm by tomorrow."

"Is it that magical?" Bai Shuruo expressed her disbelief.

"That is the charm of exercise." Han Yangting seemed to have Coach Liu's spirit possess him again.

In the gym.

Bai Shuruo came over after changing into her sportswear; Han Yangting was already inside selecting equipment, and after picking for a long time, he gave her a pair of 3-jin dumbbells.

"Ruoruo, you use these."

Bai Shuruo took them.

"I will guide your workout tonight; whatever I do, you do."

Bai Shuruo thought about how he used to teach her seriously when they worked out before, so she didn't have her guard up. She just wanted to get rid of the little bit of fat on her waist; after all, what girl wouldn't want a slender waist?

As it turned out, the beginning was still serious—how to use the small dumbbells to work the arms, how to work the waist and glutes—and Bai Shuruo felt sore all over, feeling that the exercise was effective.

But when it came to the stretching segment, the atmosphere changed.

He had her lie down on the mat, saying he wanted to help her stretch.

Every stretching movement was extremely ambiguous, and when stretched to the limit, she couldn't help but moan.
