Chapter 310: I Have Liked You a Lot Since the First Time I Saw You

"I…happen to be free tomorrow, you don"t need to make a detour to come to my house again," said Ruan Danchen as her scalp started to feel numb.

Qi Chenglin snorted, "What if I tell you it"s not inconvenient for me to go to your house again?"

Ruan Danchen had no reply to that.

"It"s time for you to sleep. Goodnight." Qi Chenglin hung up straight away. He did not tell her what he planned to do next.

Ruan Danchen was quite sleepy at first, but after talking to him, she no longer was.

After he hung up, Qi Chenglin placed Qi Youxuan"s Totoro kids" phone on the table in front of him before he took a cigarette from a cigarette"s box on the table and lit it. His movements were extremely graceful when he held the cigarette with his long bony fingers.

He removed his necktie and unb.u.t.toned his s.h.i.+rt uninhibitedly. He rolled the sleeves up to his elbows. He appeared to be extremely laid-back and even looked a little like a hooligan.

He turned his head to look out of the window and took a puff of his cigarette.

He recalled the feeling when Ruan Danchen laid in his arms tonight. He remembered his thirst when he held her soft body parts and the little bright red spots revealed when she forgot to cover her body. Qi Chenglin could feel his lower abdomen heating up and the heat flowed downward rapidly. He then saw his private part protruding under his pants.

Qi Chenglin exhaled heavily and a circle of smoke was formed around him. He did not know the dosage Shen Jialiang used seven years ago when he drugged him—it caused him unable to erect since then.

Shen Zhijing tried to seduce him after his engagement with her but he had no reaction toward her.

He had tried to date other women before, and he was in contact with some of them who he had good chemistry with. However, no matter how much he admired a woman, his private would not react to her.

He eventually stopped dating people and made Grandmother Qi worried about him, but she did not know that he could not do anything about it.

He was furious and resentful before, and he even took the opportunity to go to the hospital for a checkup when he went for a business trip. Alas, nothing could be done.

Gradually, he gave up on recovering and felt that it was acceptable to live a s.e.xless life. He already had a son, so he did not feel the pressure of carrying on his family lineage.

On Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu"s wedding day, Qi Youxuan suddenly opened the door when he was using the bathroom, and he found out that besides Qi Youxuan, Ruan Danchen was also standing outside the door.

Unexpectedly, her innocent large eyes stared continuously at his p.e.n.i.s without trying to avert her gaze at all. However, he could see that she was too astonished and could not react to the situation.

He felt his p.e.n.i.s reacting a little when she stared at it. It started to tremble and become hotter before it started to erect.

He hurriedly pushed it back into his pants to avoid making a fool of himself.

After that, when he sent Ruan Danchen back, Ruan Danchen mumbled an apology to him and he recognized her voice. He further confirmed her ident.i.ty when he kissed her.

Unexpectedly, his private part started to harden involuntarily after he kissed her.

It might be a misperception when his private part hardened during the first time—maybe it happened by chance. However, he could not help but became excited and puzzled after he had another erection when he kissed her.

He was unsure whether he could only have a reaction toward Ruan Danchen or he had recovered. He had browsed through some p.o.r.nographic images but he still could not elicit any reaction of his private part.

Until tonight, his p.e.n.i.s would react every time he saw him like he was a pervert. He could not control himself at all when he pressed his body against hers on the sofa.

Even now, his private part was extremely excited with just the thought of her.

Qi Chenglin sighed heavily. Could it be that his private part could only react to Ruan Danchen?

He lowered his head to glance at it helplessly. Then, he put out his cigarette and went to shower in the bathroom.

The next day, Ruan Danchen still brought all of Qi Youxuan"s items with her to work because even if Qi Chenglin came to Chengs.h.i.+ to find her, she could pa.s.s them to him without having to invite him into her house.

The thing that was troubling Ruan Danchen was that she wanted to get closer to Qi Youxuan, but she was unwilling to get close to Qi Chenglin. Unfortunately, Qi Chenglin was Qi Youxuan"s father and she could not avoid him most of the time if she wanted to meet Qi Youxuan.

Song Yu was on leave today and did not come to work, so the seat beside Ruan Danchen was empty.

In the morning, she took Qi Youxuan"s hair and the gla.s.s that he used to a laboratory by finding an excuse of meeting with a client.

The biggest benefit of her job was flexible working hours so she could leave at any time if she said she was going to meet with clients, and her boss was unable to find out whether she went to meet with clients or did other things.

Therefore, she used the same excuse to leave work early and went to Qi Youxuan"s kindergarten.

The dismissal time of kindergartens was usually quite early. If she went there after work, she would not make it due to the traffic of B City.

The students were not dismissed yet when she reached the kindergarten entrance so she waited at the entrance. After about ten minutes, the kindergarten started to bustle with noise and the children in the kindergarten were walking out in groups.

Ruan Danchen found Qi Youxuan after a quick look around among the crowd of noisy and giggling children.

He was holding a toy car which was a mini version of a black four-wheel drive. He was surrounded by four to five boys of the same age. All of them were extremely excited, and they were gesticulating at his car and were fighting over it.

The little boy was protecting his car and did not allow anyone to touch it like it was his treasured object.

"You"re all allowed to only look at it, no touching. My aunt bought this for me," said Qi Youxuan proudly. "This car has excellent traction. It could race on any track no matter how curved the loop is, it wouldn"t leave the track even if it speeds through a series of loops. It"s so awesome, it truly proves itself to be a limited-edition car!"

Zhang Mingming was salivating at the sight of his toy car. "That"s really cool. I"ll ask Mum to buy one for me when I"m back home."

"Hah, this car is very expensive, I secretly asked the driver to bring me to a shopping mall to check its price. It costs a few thousand." Qi Youxuan lifted his chin proudly. "My aunt loves me dearly, Aunt Ruan too. She bought a lot of birthday presents for me, but I forgot to take them back home yesterday. I"m going to her house to take them today. There"s a Lego set of a whole village with a coffee shop, cinema, villa, fire truck, skysc.r.a.per, and a lake! It"d be super cool after I put the parts together!"

"Who"s Aunt Ruan? You"re always talking about her," asked Zhang Mingming curiously. Previously Zhang Mingming was annoyed by Qi Youxuan because he kept talking about his aunt and mocked him for talking about his aunt because she was not his mother.

Qi Youxuan was furious at that time but he forgot about it the next day.

Not long after that, he started to keep talking about Aunt Ruan.

"She"s my future mum." Qi Youxuan smiled bashfully when he thought of that beautiful scene of her becoming his mother.

"She"ll become your stepmother? Aren"t you afraid that your stepmom would bully you? My mum"s colleague is such a kind of stepmother. She already has a son, then she married a man who has a daughter who"s younger than her son. Her son bullies that little girl every day at home, and her stepmother didn"t stop him. She even helps her son to bully her. She takes away all her toys and food and gives them to her son. The little girl complained to her father about it, but her father said she"s too young to understand her stepmother."

"As it turns out, her stepmother had already talked badly about her in front of her father, so her father thought that the little girl wants to frame her stepmother because she hates her. He asked the little girl to be more thoughtful and obedient and stop behaving so badly at such a young age. That little girl was so pitiful—she knew she"s the one being framed, but her father didn"t trust her and n.o.body could support her. Her stepmother even shows off about how she lies to her husband to manipulate him and how she bullied that pathetic girl at the office. My mum told me that she really felt sorry for the girl when she came back from work," said Zhang Mingming. His eyes turned red as he talked because he felt sorry for that girl too.

He used his little hands to wipe away his tears and said, "Youxuan, will you be bullied by your stepmom in the future too? Your stepmom would bully you when your father isn"t around, and even if you tell your dad about it, he"ll never believe you. He only believes in your stepmom. After your stepmom gives birth to a child, they"ll only love your stepmom"s child. You"ll be like a Chinese

cabbage

, n.o.body will love you anymore."

"Impossible! You"ve never meet Aunt Ruan, so don"t talk nonsense! She"s so pretty and gentle, and she"s very kind to me!" said Qi Youxuan furiously. He was angry with Zhang Mingming for talking like that.

"How could you be sure? Maybe she"s pretending to be kind in front of your dad. My mom"s colleague did that before the wedding—she was so kind to that little girl and took care of her so nicely. However, after marrying her father, she changed a lot." Zhang Mingming pouted—he was talking about the truth. "I"m telling you this for your good. I don"t want you to be bullied and to lose out. Maybe your Aunt Ruan treats you nicely because she"s planning to marry your dad. She"ll change after marrying your dad!"

"No, she won"t!" Qi Youxuan was fuming. He stamped his foot and grasped his toy car tightly. "Hmph, I won"t let you play my car anymore!"

After saying that, Qi Youxuan turned around and left with his toy car.

Suddenly, he heard someone calling Muran. He turned his head around and saw Little Muran walking with her friends. Dai Zhiyao appeared out of nowhere and he was already walking beside Little Muran when Qi Youxuan noticed his presence.

Based on his actions, he was planning to hold Little Muran"s hands!

Qi Youxuan was angry because of what Zhang Mingming said just now. He became angrier now and rushed toward Little Muran immediately and waved his toy car in front of her. "Mumu."

Little Muran smiled when she saw him. In Qi Youxuan"s eyes, her smile was especially sweet.

Qi Youxuan did not talk to Dai Zhiyao. He pouted when he saw Dai Zhiyao was still following them. He chatted with Little Muran as they walk and purposely ignored Dai Zhiyao.

Ruan Danchen was watching Qi Youxuan playing and chatting with his friends but she could not hear what they were saying. She was extremely nervous when she saw Qi Youxuan was coming out of the kindergarten.

Suddenly, she heard someone calling her. "Danchen?"

She turned her head around and saw Wei Ran walking toward her.

"Why are you here?" asked Wei Ran with a smile.

Feeling somewhat embarra.s.sed, Ruan Danchen pointed at Qi Youxuan"s little luggage and the bag which contained his presents. "Youxuan left some of his stuff at my place, so I came here to return him the stuff."

At that time, Qi Youxuan and Little Muran walked out of the kindergarten. Little Muran called her mother and dashed toward her to hug her.

When Qi Youxuan saw Ruan Danchen there, he exclaimed, "Aunt Ruan!"

Ruan Danchen smiled at him gently. "You left in a hurry yesterday, and you left your presents and stuff at my house."

"Aunt Ruan, it"s so inconvenient for you to send my stuff here. You should"ve just called me, and I would"ve happily asked Dad to go to your house and take it." Qi Youxuan blushed because he was overjoyed. He did not know why he would feel shy easily in front of Ruan Danchen even though he usually had a brazen personality.

Wei Ran stared at Ruan Danchen, then she stared at Qi Youxuan and smiled involuntarily. She said goodbye to Ruan Danchen and left with Little Muran.

"I"m free now, so I came here to pa.s.s you your stuff." Ruan Danchen did not want to tell him that she was reluctant to let his father come to her house.

Although this little boy always quarreled fiercely with Qi Chenglin, she could see that he still liked Qi Chenglin very much.

"Aunt Ruan, did my dad make you angry yesterday?" Qi Youxuan raised his head and stared at Ruan Danchen. His chubby and attractive little face looked worried now, and it made him look more adorable.

"Why do you think so?" asked Ruan Danchen gently. She really wanted to hug this little boy now.

Qi Youxuan pouted slightly and said softly, "I called you last night and you didn"t pick up the phone. I thought you ignored me because of my father who isn"t thoughtful at all."

"No, I was showering when you called me last night and I couldn"t hear the ringtone. I immediately called you back when I saw your missed call, but your dad answered it and he told me you were asleep," explained Ruan Danchen hurriedly. She did not want the little boy to misunderstand her. "How is it possible that I would ignore you."

"Dad is so annoying. How could he not wake me up!" said Qi Youxuan unhappily. "Did he make you angry again?"

Ruan Danchen shook her head. "No."

On the contrary, he even apologized to her.

"Youxuan." Ruan Danchen saw a boy of the same age as Qi Youxuan running toward them. He was chatting with Qi Youxuan as they walked just now, but Qi Youxuan ignored him suddenly and she wondered why he did that.

At that time, Qi Youxuan turned his head around and saw it was Zhan Mingming. He groaned and looked away, pretending to be angry with him.

"Youxuan, is she the Aunt Ruan you have been talking about?" asked Zhang Mingming as he walked toward them.

Ruan Danchen did not expect that Qi Youxuan would often talk about her in front of others.

"Mhm, isn"t she very pretty and gentle?" Qi Youxuan lifted his chin proudly.

Zhang Mingming blushed and nodded in embarra.s.sment. "Mhm, she"s much prettier than my mum"s colleague."

"You shouldn"t say that! How could you compare the two of them! Your mum"s colleague has an ugly heart, so she"d never look pretty," Qi Youxuan retorted. He could not accept Zhang Mingming comparing his future stepmother with that evil woman.

"Youxuan." Ruan Danchen called his name and placed her hands on his shoulders to stop him from talking in such a manner.

Zhang Mingming did not mind his words. He raised his head and stared at Ruan Danchen. His eyes were not very large, but they looked innocent. "Aunt Ruan, after you become Youxuan"s stepmother, please don"t bully him."

Ruan Danchen was startled by his words and she blushed. She did not know how she should reply to him.

"Aunt Ruan will never bully me!" said Qiu Youxuan confidently.

Zhang Mingming nodded and said politely, "My mom is here to fetch me. Bye, Aunt Ruan."

Qi Youxuan was still unhappy. Ruan Danchen then caressed his chubby little face and said, "That kid did that to help you, he"s a kind-hearted child."

"I know that, but I don"t like him doubting you," replied Qi Youxuan slightly unhappily.

Ruan Danchen was very touched when she looked at his disappointed little face. She crouched down and looked into his eyes, and she asked, "Youxuan, you"ve only known me for a short time and we"ve only met a few times. Why do you trust me so much?"

"I can"t tell." Qi Youxuan then added without uncertainty, "But I trust you nevertheless."

He lowered his head bashfully and his delicate cheeks were blus.h.i.+ng slightly. He stood straight with his little belly protruding and said, "I"ve liked you a lot since the first time I saw you."

Ruan Danchen was on the verge of crying and she could feel her eyes were getting warm. She covered the little boy"s delicate cheeks with her soft palms. "Youxuan, thank you for trusting me so much. I guarantee you that I"ll never do anything to hurt you."

"Dad!" shouted Qi Youxuan suddenly.

Ruan Danchen turned her head around in astonishment, and she saw a Benz parked on the roadside. Qi Chenglin"s stuck his long legs out and got out of the car. He looked extremely attractive, more handsome and elegant than actors and models. n.o.body could emulate his charisma.

He was wearing a well-ironed and wrinkle-free suit. He put his elegant hand on the car door and closed it before walking toward them.

The sun was lower in the sky now. He stood straight in such a magnificent manner—the sun was glowing behind him and his body was surrounded by a golden radiance.

Ruan Danchen was stunned and forgot to react. She remained squatted there, staring at him blankly with her head tilted.

Qi Chenglin stopped in front of her and lowered his head to peer at her. Ruan Danchen looked up along the edge of his pants and then she noticed her eyes were at the same level as his pant"s zipper.

Qi Chenglin raised his eyebrows and stayed quiet. Ruan Danchen blushed immediately and she felt extremely embarra.s.sed. She did not know why she was always in an embarra.s.sing posture every time she met him.

"Dad!" shouted Qi Youxuan happily with a strong and crisp voice.

Qi Chenglin glanced at him and sneered.

Ruan Danchen was blus.h.i.+ng and she dared not look at him. She wanted to stand up, but unexpectedly, her legs were numb after crouching for a while. After she lifted her bottom for a little, she felt a pain shooting up from her feet to her calves. Her legs felt weak and extremely painful like they were being poked by needles.

Ruan Danchen sighed and fell backward. When her rear was just about to hit the ground embarra.s.singly, he suddenly grabbed her body by her armpit closely to her breast and lifted her.

He lifted her body off the ground. Ruan Danchen whimpered and subconsciously grabbed his shoulders. The part of her body that was grasped by him was still quivering and it affected her breathing.

They were standing extremely close to each other and almost touch each other"s bodies. However, Qi Chenglin"s expression remained unchanged. He still appeared to be so calm and collected, and even his breathing pattern did not change as he breathed steadily.

Qi Chenglin put her on the ground and Run Danchen wanted to retreat immediately, but her legs were still numb and she could not stand. Her legs were feeling very uncomfortable and gave way to her weight.

When she was falling to the ground, Qi Chengzhi supported her immediately. His blisteringly hot hands were still placed at her armpits and just adjacent to her b.r.e.a.s.t.s.

She almost leaned into Qi Chenglin"s arms.

Ruan Danchen was blus.h.i.+ng, her hands still clutching his broad and firm shoulders. She raised her head and saw that he was staring at her intensely. His eyes were glowing brightly like they were on fire.

His stern-looking lips were closed naturally, and it felt like he was angry with her.

At that time, he lowered his head, and she could feel his scorching breath with her face and lips. She dared not breathe at all.

A Chinese expression used to describe a person who is naive and gullible.
