Chapter 148 Be My Woman Again in the Next Life
Su Yingxue tiptoed into the room.
The room was dimly lit, yet the atmosphere was strangely tense.
Zhao Dakang held Xiaoqi and carefully placed her on the bed, gently tucking the blanket around the little one with his slender fingers.
After doing all this, Zhao Da Kuang straightened up and slowly turned to Su Yingxue.
His feet unconsciously moved toward her, his eyes filled with a strange thought.
Su Yingxue, however, reacted like a startled fawn, instinctively taking a step back.
His feet seemed nailed to the ground as he stared warily at Zhao Da Kuang, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists in front of him.
"Xiaoqi is asleep, I want to stay with her."
Su Yingxue's voice trembled slightly, conveying an unquestionable tone.
Zhao Da Kuang, however, seemed oblivious to her resistance. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he said softly, "That's how children are. How about I stay with you and watch over her tonight?"
The tone of his voice even carried a hint of intimacy.
Su Yingxue's eyes widened, her face filled with shock and anger. She raised her voice and waved her hands repeatedly, "Get out of here right now! Or I'll call for help!"
Zhao Da Kuang's brows furrowed instantly, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face.
But he quickly composed himself, looked at Su Yingxue deeply, and said in a deep voice, "Yingxue, I will wait, until the day you are willing to accept me."
After saying that, he reluctantly turned and left.
The door slowly closed behind Zhao Da Kuang.
Su Yingxue's tense nerves did not relax at all.
Her back was pressed against the wall, her heart heaving violently, and she was breathing heavily, her mind filled with the oppressive feeling of Zhao Da Kuang approaching.
"A man and a woman alone in a room, who knows what might happen!"
She muttered to herself, then rushed to the door in a panic, quickly turning the lock with both hands.
With a "click," the door was firmly locked.
Su Yingxue was still worried and pressed her back tightly against the door.
Only then did he raise his hand and gently pat his chest, trying to calm his wildly beating heart.
"Zhao Er insists that I had dealings with Zhao Da Kuang before, but I have absolutely no recollection of it."
Her brows were furrowed, her mind and eyes filled with confusion.
I searched my memory repeatedly, but to no avail.
In this moment of anxiety, the image of Tan Zhengchu suddenly appeared in Su Yingxue's mind.
Knowing that he was also in this villa at this moment, I felt inexplicably at ease.
“Tan Zhengchu will definitely not sit idly by; he will definitely come looking for me.”
She muttered to herself, as if to encourage herself.
Taking a deep breath, Su Yingxue slowly walked towards the bathroom.
The bathroom was dimly lit and filled with steam.
Warm water cascaded down and splashed onto my body.
She gently closed her eyes, trying to relax her tense body and mind.
Even so, my nerves remained on edge.
They kept a close eye on their surroundings, fearing that something unexpected might suddenly happen.
Just then, a series of rapid knocks came from the bathroom window, which sounded particularly jarring in the quiet space.
Su Yingxue's body trembled violently, and she instinctively covered her ears with her hands, her eyes wide with terror.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, she gritted her teeth and slowly moved toward the window, each step taken with extreme caution.
Su Yingxue's heart pounded as she was startled by the sudden knocking on the window.
The next second, the window was suddenly pulled open with a "whoosh".
A tall, agile figure, carrying the chill of the night, strode into the room with incredible speed.
Su Yingxue's eyes widened instantly, her pupils contracted sharply, fear gripped her heart, and she almost screamed out loud.
Only after seeing who it was did his tense nerves relax a little; it turned out to be Tan Zhengchu.
She raised her hand and patted her chest lightly, panting heavily, and said reproachfully, "You scared me to death! How did you get in here!"
Tan Zhengchu steadied himself and patted off non-existent dust from the corner of his clothes.
With a carefree smile playing on his lips, he raised an eyebrow and said, "The conventional path won't work, so I've come up with a 'brilliant plan' to give you a surprise."
Tan Zhengchu tilted his head slightly, a fleeting smile crossing his exquisite face.
His eyes seemed to hold glittering stars as he opened his arms to Su Yingxue.
His voice was languid and alluring: "Baby, won't you hug me?"
Su Yingxue didn't care about anything else. She let go of the hair dryer, and it fell to the ground with a "clatter".
Then, without hesitation, she threw herself into Tan Zhengchu's arms and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.
She buried her face deep in his chest, her body still trembling slightly, and mumbled, "You've finally come. I was so scared."
The two embraced tightly, Tan Zhengchu's chin resting lightly on the top of Su Yingxue's head, his arms tightening around her.
Su Yingxue craved this long-lost warmth, her breathing gradually becoming steady, unwilling to let go even a little, as if she wanted to meld them into each other's bodies.
The air around them was thick with longing, and the emotional conflict quietly intensified in this silent embrace.
After a long while, Su Yingxue looked up, her gaze fixed intently on Tan Zhengchu, and softly suggested, "Let's go see Xiaoqi. I keep thinking about her."
Tan Zhengchu nodded and slowly released Su Yingxue.
He gently brushed a strand of hair from her temple with his fingers, then put his arm around her shoulder and whispered, "Let's go."
The two walked side by side, their steps light and deliberate, out of the bathroom.
In the bedroom, Xiao Qi was sleeping soundly on the bed.
A smile graced her rosy face, and she occasionally murmured a few words in her sleep.
Upon seeing this, Su Yingxue's eyes welled up with tears.
She tiptoed to the bedside, squatted down, and gently stroked Xiaoqi's face. Only then did her heart finally settle down.
Su Yingxue slowly got up, leaned on Tan Zhengchu's shoulder, and looked up at him.
With a faint smile on her lips, she teased softly, "Look at Xiao Qi's sleeping posture. She must have loved you terribly in her past life to be so happy even in her dreams."
Tan Zhengchu lowered his eyes, his gaze so tender it seemed to melt hearts.
He reached out and took Su Yingxue's hand, solemnly promising, "Seeing Xiaoqi warms my heart. Yingxue, let's be husband and wife again in the next life, but you're not allowed to meet any other men. I want you to stay with me forever."
Su Yingxue's eyes reddened, and she raised her hand to lightly punch Tan Zhengchu's chest, scolding him, "What you said is incredibly stupid."
Yet a sweet feeling welled up in my heart, and I secretly hoped that I could be with you for all eternity.
This exchange of thoughts intensified the feelings between the two.
Tan Zhengchu's eyes suddenly darkened, like ripples spreading across a deep lake, and he quickly grabbed Su Yingxue's waist with both hands.
With a little force, he made her stand face to face with him.
Without giving her any time to react, he lowered his head and eagerly kissed her lips.
Su Yingxue was taken aback at first, then slowly closed her eyes.
She wrapped her arms around Tan Zhengchu's neck and returned his kiss passionately.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still.
The hustle and bustle of the world is shut out, leaving only each other's rapid breathing and wildly beating hearts.
Su Yingxue's heart was filled with joy, as if fireworks were blooming in her chest.
It was so good to see Tan Zhengchu; all the worries and fears were worth it.
Tan Zhengchu held Su Yingxue tightly in his arms, and the two slowly lay down on the bed, intimately close.
Su Yingxue leaned comfortably against Tan Zhengchu's strong and broad chest, like a lazy kitten.
With her eyes half-closed, her slender fingers gently stroked his eyebrows.
He slowly slid his fingers along the arch of her eyebrows toward her eyes, murmuring softly, "I've missed you so much these past few days, I just want to touch your eyebrows and eyes again."
