Scum Cheng regretted it the moment he saw the little spots of red.

He was truly blinded by lust; how could he have done the deed right here?

Lucy comforted him, saying she didn't mind these things; some things didn't necessarily have to happen in bed.

Doing it at sunrise was also very romantic.

...

Half an hour later, Lucy pulled down her skirt and straightened her clothes.

Leaning on Chen Cheng's shoulder and looking out at the endless sea, she said softly, "Chen Cheng, what does this make us?"

The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up; she was asking for a commitment.

Scum Cheng's brain worked at high speed. Even if she kept to herself and rarely went out, and hadn't seen him and Guan Juer acting lovey-dovey in the neighborhood, she should have been able to pick up some clues at the reception.

After all, at the fundraising reception, Guan Juer had attended as his date.

Yet Lucy hadn't resisted his advances earlier, which Chen Cheng found somewhat baffling.

Thinking about it, Chen Cheng concluded it was probably due to her high favorability.

If she had ulterior motives, she should have been very wary of him; her favorability couldn't have grown so quickly.

Was the favorability at the "passionate love" level really this strong?

Even if she knew Scum Cheng might have a girlfriend, when they were alone together and she was being teased by him, would her heart be unable to resist the fluttering?

Chen Cheng turned his head and kissed her, gazing into her lively eyes, and said softly, "Be my girlfriend."

Lucy suppressed her smile, but the corners of her mouth couldn't stop curling upward, revealing dimples.

She was truly falling for Chen Cheng.

This man understood her too well, as if he knew all her emotions and personality, and treated her with the utmost gentleness and romance.

She had only mentioned in passing that she wanted to see the stars, and this man had brought her here even though it was raining.

Lying side by side on the beach holding hands, gazing up at the starry sky—how romantic.

Not only was this guy incredibly handsome, but he was also a stamina monster who gave people a strong sense of security. He was the kind of stamina monster she couldn't even catch up to when they coincidentally met during morning jogs.

He could write songs, and his singing voice was like a dream, always able to make people intoxicated.

Not to mention that this guy had become the most sought-after investor in the industry at such a young age.

Everything about Chen Cheng satisfied all her fantasies about a significant other.

She was sinking into it, having no time to worry about whether she was becoming the "other woman," wanting only to possess him immediately and whisper her love in his ear.

Looking into Scum Cheng's deep eyes, Lucy nodded shyly, "Mm~"

On the way back to the hotel, Chen Cheng held the steering wheel with one hand and held her hand with the other.

But the closer they got to the hotel, the more nervous Lucy felt, and she was even a bit panicked.

Just as Chen Cheng parked the car, Lucy frowned and asked, "You and Zhen Zhen wouldn't have...?"

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched; why was she asking about this after the fact?

Had she become clear-headed after releasing the pressure?

Since they had already slept together, Chen Cheng was straightforward: "Yeah, Zhen Zhen is my girlfriend."

Lucy's expression stiffened instantly as she tried hard to suppress her emotions. "You're with Zhen Zhen, yet you still came after me?"

Chen Cheng gently stroked her cheek, very dotingly, "Who told you to be so beautiful? I couldn't help myself."

A frost covered Lucy's face. She shoved Chen Cheng's hand away, a flash of disappointment and anger in her eyes. "What do you take me for?"

"Just because you think I'm pretty, you can just toy with my feelings?"

In her mind, Chen Cheng hadn't publicly announced his relationship with the "little white rabbit" next door, so she still had a chance.

But Ye Zhenzhen was different; the two were neighbors and could be considered friends.

More importantly, this jerk had just admitted it so brazenly.

Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, not understanding why she had such a strong reaction to Ye Zhenzhen.

He raised the hand she had just swatted away, pressed it against her lips, and shook his head gently. "Don't worry, Zhen Zhen knows I have feelings for you and didn't object."

"What?" Lucy sat up straight, her eyes wide.

Her worldview was completely shattered. Are you two really boyfriend and girlfriend?

Are you sure this isn't an illicit affair?

Lucy's mouth twitched, and she fought hard not to explode. "Then what does that make me now?"

Chen Cheng's mouth curled up, his eyes affectionate. He pulled her back into his arms and said softly, "Of course, you're my girlfriend."

Lucy was deeply shocked; she had never seen such a shameless person.

While she was stunned, Chen Cheng lowered his head and gently kissed her sexy lips. "Don't worry about Zhen Zhen; she won't mind."

Lucy rolled her eyes at him. Is this a matter of whether I'm worried or not?

When the two returned to the hotel holding hands, the blush on Lucy's face, caused by the rush of blood from being angered by Scum Cheng, had not yet faded.

Seeing the two appear before her holding hands, Ye Zhenzhen almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

I just took a nap, how did my home get stolen?

She glared fiercely at Chen Cheng, then turned to link arms with Lucy and sat down in the chairs at the hotel restaurant.

"You must be tired," she said, waving her hand. "Waiter, add a red date, longan, and lotus seed soup."

Chen Cheng's mouth curled up; what a good wife.

Not wanting to disturb their whispered conversation, he turned around and called Jimmy over to give him a few instructions.

That Navigator definitely couldn't be used by the Bodyguard anymore; it had to be kept in storage.

He called Brother Sheng to buy a few more for the company's driver pool, and while he was at it, to replace the car for the security team.

Watching Chen Cheng leave, Ye Zhenzhen asked Lucy suggestively, "How does it feel?"

Lucy's face flushed, but she definitely wouldn't admit it. "What do you mean, 'how does it feel'?"

Ye Zhenzhen playfully tickled her waist. "What is there to hide from me?"

Ye Zhenzhen made a gesture of a finger passing through a ring. "The injection."

Lucy's eyes widened. Was she always this crazy?

But could that even be described as an injection?

It was clearly the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, alright?

Ye Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows at her suggestively.

Lucy replied in a voice as soft as a mosquito's, "Mm."

Ye Zhenzhen snorted. "Hmph, that dog of a man, it was exactly as I expected."

Lucy looked at Ye Zhenzhen, frowning. "You really knew?" "You and Chen Cheng have done that too?"

Ye Zhenzhen nodded with a smile. "Yeah! If I didn't make a move, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a spot left. This dog of a guy attracts too much romantic trouble."

"What do you mean? He has other women?"

"That girl next door, didn't you see her at the reception?"

Lucy's eyes widened like copper bells, and her worldview was shattered. "You can accept this?"

"Didn't you accept it too?"

Uh... Lucy felt awkward. That rogue had made her feel so good that she had absolutely no thoughts left to think about anything else.

Ye Zhenzhen looked at her and said softly, "I've known him for five or six years, and the women of all sorts around him have never stopped."

"After coming here, it's gotten even worse; he's rarely home."

"Slowly, I've come to understand that a man as dazzling as him cannot be tied down by just one woman."

Looking at Ye Zhenzhen's melancholy expression, for some reason, Lucy felt a pang of heartache.

She raised her hand to hug Ye Zhenzhen, gently stroking her back, wanting to give her some comfort.

Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but smile. "You're comforting me? Think about yourself."

Lucy rolled her eyes and looked at her. "You don't mind?"
