Yu Yao saw Chen Zhongyuan returning and walked over with a smile, "Why did you come back so late?"
"There were some things to take care of, so I was busy until this late hour."
Chen Zhongyuan took a step forward and wrapped his arm around her waist, lowering his gaze to look at her, "Have you had dinner yet?"
Yu Yao nodded with a smile, "I've already eaten."
"It seems you have a good command of French."
Chen Zhongyuan chuckled, pinched her cheek gently, then wrapped his arms around her and led her inside: "I was worried you would go hungry earlier, but turns out I was just being overly concerned."
"I can only speak a few phrases of French, and those were last-minute cramming before coming to France."
The two of them have already returned to the villa. Yu Yao leaves his embrace and lies lazily on the sofa, yawning and saying with a lazy tone.
Chen Zhongyuan took off his suit and casually draped it over one side, glanced sideways at her, and said, "Then I'll hire a housekeeper who can speak Mandarin tomorrow."
"There's no need to go through all that trouble. We'll only be in France for a few days."
Yu Yao makes a sound of rejection, "I can still speak some simple phrases, and I didn't go hungry tonight."
Chen Zhongyuan stared at her for a few seconds, chuckled, and then went to take a shower.
Soon, he came out of the bathroom, draped in a bathrobe, his body glistening with water.
Yu Yao looked at him, still sitting on the sofa and scrolling through her phone. In the next second, she was suddenly picked up horizontally by Chen Zhongyuan.
"What are you doing?"
She was startled and instinctively wrapped her hands around his shoulders.
"As an unmarried man and woman living together in the same room, what do you think I want to do?"
The sound of Chen Zhongyuan's delight-filled laughter escaped his lips as he gently laid her down on the big bed and pressed his body against hers.
Yu Yao of course knew what he wanted to do, her face turned beet red, and she pushed him away, ready to speak.
She saw that her hands were caught by him, slowly placed on the top of her head.
With his other hand, he lifted her chin and slowly leaned in, bringing his lips close to hers. Eventually, his lips brushed against hers in a soft kiss that lingered for a while.
Yu Yao was completely kissed numb.
"After we return to Hong Kong, I'll go learn French. We'll definitely have to come back again in the future, and not being able to communicate in the language will be really inconvenient."
The man looked at her plump, red lips after the kiss, his heart racing with excitement. Unable to resist the urge, he nibbled on her lips again.
She turned even redder, like a ripe, juicy peach that was sweet and alluring.
Yu Yao nodded, her eyes shone with a sparkle, making her look innocent and delicate, but also exuding a faint hint of sensuality.
Chen Zhongyuan's throat rolled and his eyes darkened with desire as he looked at her with a dangerous glint.
He stripped off her clothes without any hesitation, also pulling off his bathrobe as he did so.
In an instant, the two were exposed, their bodies touching as they continued to rise in temperature and create an atmosphere that was ambiguous.
Chen Zhongyuan has always had high standards for his partners, and he has been so picky that he has angered both people and gods. His slight obsession with cleanliness has kept him well-maintained.
Yet, strangely enough, he did not reject her closeness to him. In fact, he liked it a great deal, so much that he would have liked to incorporate her into his very bones and blood.
This shows that when two people are attracted to each other, the previously listed standards are often mixed with rationality and consumed.
Infinite spring colors, infinite desires.
Their bodies entwined, their breaths mingled, the passionate sounds of the man and woman's passion made people blush and their hearts race. It was intense and wild, continuing late into the night.
"You're truly a little devil that's hard to resist."
Chen Zhongyuan carried her to clean up, and his entire demeanor was refreshed and satisfied.
Yu Yao nestled in his arms like a lazy kitten, her face still flushed with a hint of color, half-closed eyes, letting him hold her without resistance.
Perhaps men like to say such things during intimacy, such as calling women "devils". Yu Yao has heard it so many times that she doesn't really mind it anymore.
After cleaning up both of them, Chen Zhongyuan contentedly went to sleep with the girl in his arms.
The next day, after taking care of his current affairs, Chen Zhongyuan took her out to play.
The charming town of Gras in France is located in the heart of the Mediterranean and the Alps, known around the world for its beautiful scenery, perfumes, and ancient architecture.
Located in the southern Provence region of France, 20 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea, it is one of France's most famous tourist destinations.
The drive wasn't long, and upon arrival, Yu Yao was so awestruck by the scenery that she couldn't help but want to take photos.
She has seen countless natural beauty spots.
Just to mention the Fairy Demon Realm, any one of its locations is simply far more beautiful than this place.
But in that world, there are no such things as cameras; one can only appreciate the beauty but not keep a memento.
Now thinking about it, it's hard not to feel a sense of regret.
Yu Yao not only took her own photos but also demanded that Chen Zhongyuan take photos of her, and occasionally, she would take photos of him or they would take a group selfie together.
As Yu Yao happily took pictures left and right, Chen Zhongyuan couldn't help but smile with pleasure. He felt that she was even more charming than the scenery around her.
The fountain square was bustling with people, pigeons perched around the fountain, warm street music that touched the heart, children holding balloons, young couples kissing by the fountain, and elderly couples snuggling on a bench with their eyes closed.
Many couples were gathered around the fountain, accompanied by pigeons, and some occasionally took photos.
Yu Yao took a photo of the fountain with her phone and pulled Chen Zhongyuan in for a few more shots.
Even, they took a few more photos that made them look very close to each other.
For example, when their lips touched or when one kissed the other's face, they would capture those moments in photos.
Many couples did that, and when Yu Yao saw it, she also wanted to take photos like that.
Chen Zhongyuan laughed out loud with indulgence, and he didn't refuse either. He happily obliged.
Several somberly-faced black-clad bodyguards followed behind the entire time, protecting them. Seeing the two of them like this, their mouths twitched, and they looked thoroughly amused.
"Be careful with these photos, don't leak them out. Otherwise, someone might cause you trouble."
Chen Zhongyuan chuckled and reminded her.
"Got it."
Yu Yao smiled at him and then pulled him along to the next place.
All the famous tourist spots nearby were visited and explored by the two of them.
They also took many photos.
After playing for almost the whole day, they returned to the manor in the late evening.
Song Wenjing was already waiting at the manor when they arrived. Upon seeing them back, he smiled and approached them, his tone familiar, "Mr. Chen is quite rare in showing this kind of affection to someone. Won't you introduce her?"
His gaze landed on Yu Yao's face. He knew she was Chen Zhongyuan's secretary, but seeing how intimate they were, it was clear that their relationship was more than just that of a secretary and boss.
Chen Zhongyuan casually slung his hands into his pockets and glanced sideways at Yu Yao, his eyes filled with tenderness. "My secretary, but also my girlfriend, Yu Yao."
He didn't hide it.
Song Wenjing was not surprised; his eyes held a playful gaze as he looked at Chen Zhongyuan and couldn't help but tease, "From secretary to girlfriend, you're eating grass from the edge of your nest."
Chen Zhongyuan heard Song Wenjing's teasing and raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with an animal eating grass near its nest? I just like eating grass near my own nest."
"Haha, of course, I'm all for it."
Song Wenjing laughed with great pleasure.
After laughing, he said seriously, "You don't want it to be known, and I didn't inform anyone. You were busy again last night, so tonight let's go to Ice Kube Bar and have a drink."
This is the only ice bar in Paris. As soon as you step inside, it feels like you've arrived in Scandinavia, at a temperature of minus twenty degrees, where you can enjoy the joy of drinking. It's very popular with guests.
Chen Zhongyuan fell silent for a few seconds, but he didn't refuse either. He simply smiled and said, "You arrange it."
"BB Pig, do you want to come along?"
He glanced at Yu Yao and asked.
"I'm not going, you go ahead."
Yu Yao shook her head slightly, she didn't like to drink and didn't know how to drink. What's the point of going to a bar?
Chen Zhongyuan knew that she didn't drink, so he didn't insist. He rubbed her head and said softly, "You've been playing all day, you must be tired. Have dinner early and rest. You don't need to wait for me."
He left with those words and followed Song Wenjing in the car.
Yu Yao asked the maid to prepare dinner, and then went to take a bath.
After playing all day, the sweat made her feel uncomfortable all over; a bath was necessary.
After taking a bath, she curled up on the sofa and looked at the photos she had taken today.
She sent a few photos of the beautiful scenery to Yu Yuanqing as well.
[Brother, how are they? Are they beautiful?]
[Is this Provence? Did you go on business or a vacation? This treatment is too good!]
[A business trip can also be a chance to have some leisure time.]
[When will you be back?]
[Probably in a few days. The specific time of my return is still not determined.]
She chatted with Yu Yuanqing for a while before the maid informed her that dinner was ready.
[Brother, I'll stop chatting with you now, I'm going to eat.]
She sent the last message and then got up to go eat in the restaurant.
The dinner was still rich and abundant. After eating, she went to bed.
Chen Zhongyuan returned late at night, reeking of alcohol.
Looking at the woman who slept peacefully and soundly, his eyes were filled with indulgence.
