Chapter 169 The First Day of Chasing Miss Song
But how could Song Ni possibly escape? No matter how she tried, she couldn't break free from Tan Zheng's hold. He lowered his head and kissed her directly. Both of them had strong personalities, and even their kisses were fierce. Blood trickled from their lips. Tan Zheng's eyes turned crimson, and he kissed the corner of Song Ni's mouth. Then, he slowly kissed along the path where the blood had flowed.
Tan Zheng's kissing skills might not be exceptionally refined, but his kisses were so forceful that one couldn't help but be swept into his rhythm. No matter how many times, Song Ni always found herself lost in Tan Zheng's kisses. She forgot they had just been arguing, forgot they had just been fighting, forgot they had just been bickering.
When Tan Zheng pushed her down, Song Ni had a moment of clarity, wanting to resist. But Tan Zheng bit her shoulder, and she was lost again.
...
They hadn't seen each other for nearly ten days. What should have been a reunion filled with longing turned into a passionate encounter with a certain fierceness due to Song Ni's recent anger, Tan Zheng's neglect, and the events of the evening. The moment Tan Zheng recalled that Song Ni had gone to great lengths to return just to see another man, his possessiveness flared up, and his jealousy surged. He bit her collarbone hard, leaving a deep tooth mark.
"The end of the universe is you, hmm?" The more he thought about it, the angrier Tan Zheng became. He grabbed Song Ni's hand and bit her wrist. "How dare you say 'I love you' to another man?"
Song Ni knew Tan Zheng would be jealous and angry the moment she saw him sitting beside her. But she hadn't expected him to be so wicked, to take revenge on her at such a moment. "Hmm? Didn't you say you were back to give me a surprise? Baby, you certainly gave me a big one." Tan Zheng tightly gripped Song Ni's ankle, preventing her from escaping from beneath him.
Song Ni gasped, unable to form a coherent retort. Her eyes were red with distress, and tears slid down her cheeks. Seeing this, he lowered his head and kissed away her tears. "Why are you crying? Hmm? Shouldn't I be angry?" He showered her face with small kisses and then couldn't resist gently biting the tip of her nose. "You didn't answer my calls, you didn't reply to my messages. How could you be so heartless? Hmm?"
Song Ni seemed to find an opening. She turned her head, gasping, and began to retort, "I'm heartless? You don't even know how to coax... coax me."
Hearing this, Tan Zheng chuckled softly and whispered into her ear, "Baby, you're ignoring me. How am I supposed to coax you?"
Seeing Song Ni tremble, he breathed a sigh and bit her earlobe. Song Ni was speechless. How could she explain? How could she say she cared about the procedural error in their relationship? How could she say she still wanted to enjoy dating after marriage? She already felt this notion was a bit melodramatic and knew it was just a girlish sentiment, so how could she bring herself to say it?
"I have to film tomorrow, I need to go back. It's all your fault." Tan Zheng placed Song Ni's hands on his shoulders, letting her embrace his neck. "Hmm, it's my fault."
Even as he said this, Tan Zheng didn't stop. He was tirelessly, obsessively entwined with Song Ni.
...
Song Ni woke up again when Chang Zi called her. "Nini, you have ten minutes. Hurry up and get washed."
Song Ni sat up, half-lying on the bed, looking at the familiar hotel room and Chang Zi, who had prepared things for her. She was a bit dazed. Hadn't she returned to Xingcheng? She had secretly run back to watch Li Jing's performance and was caught by Tan Zheng, who then brought her back to Lan Ting and severely punished her in bed... How was she here now? Was she dreaming?
Song Ni shook her head, trying to clear her mind. Just as she was about to throw off the covers and get up, she felt an unusual soreness throughout her body. She looked down abruptly and saw the teeth marks on her wrist. No, this wasn't a dream. She had indeed returned to Xingcheng last night.
Song Ni rubbed her temples, trying hard to recall what had happened. The last image she could remember was Tan Zheng's fierce, forceful demeanor. "Sister Chang, what's going on?" As soon as she spoke, Song Ni realized her voice was hoarse. Even for a mature woman like Chang Zi, talking about last night made her blush. Chang Zi coughed a few times and handed Song Ni the roses on the table. "These are from President Tan."
President Tan? Song Ni took them hesitantly and found a card attached to the roses with a message: The first day of chasing Miss Song. The handwriting was bold and arrogant, clearly written by Tan Zheng himself. Song Ni was even more confused.
Chang Zi then explained, "Last night... President Tan flew you back on his private jet. He stayed with you for the night and only flew back this morning."
Song Ni frowned. Fragmented memories surfaced in her mind. It seemed to be true. Because of the turbulence during takeoff, she had thought about it once, but she was too tired, and Tan Zheng coaxed her with kisses, so she fell asleep again. "He... what time did he leave?"
"Five o'clock." Song Ni's lips curved upwards. She brought the flowers closer and sniffed them deeply, unable to suppress her smile. "What do you think he means by this?"
Chang Zi didn't know what game these two were playing. However, based on her observations from the past couple of days, Song Ni must have been angry with President Tan again. "He's coaxing you." What else could sending roses mean? Expressing affection, giving them to a sulking wife, it was an attempt at reconciliation. Song Ni proudly showed the card to Chang Zi.
Chang Zi: ...The first day of chasing Miss Song? What is this? Are couples these days playing such games? They're married, and it's still the first day of chasing Miss Song?
"What is this?" Song Ni didn't try to hide anything. "We met through a blind date."
Chang Zi's eyebrows rose. "Is this the legendary marriage of convenience between wealthy families?"
"You could say that." Chang Zi crossed her arms, her fingertips touching her chin as she pondered. "That doesn't seem right. I thought you two liked each other. Not to mention you, President Tan clearly dotes on you."
Song Ni smiled mysteriously. "We're not entirely in a marriage of convenience, it's just..." Song Ni held up her hand, gesturing a degree. "Before the blind date, I did a little reconnaissance on him."
Chang Zi understood. "I see, you just hit it off."
"Bgo!" That made sense. Given Song Ni's personality, she didn't seem like someone who would obediently follow her family's arrangement for a blind date, let alone Tan Zheng. "So, you're playing the game of 'get married first, then fall in love'?"
Song Ni proudly lifted her chin. "I suppose so. That seems to be his intention." Her joy and pride were undeniable. Chang Zi didn't need to think hard to realize it must be related to Song Ni's anger a couple of days ago. Tsk, President Tan, who seemed so arrogant, was actually a devoted husband.
"President Tan also left another message." Song Ni reluctantly set the roses aside. Why did the roses Tan Zheng gave her look so beautiful?
"What did he say?"
"He said..." Chang Zi coughed lightly. "My little ancestor, don't just ignore me whenever you feel like it."
*Pfft* — Song Ni burst out laughing. She couldn't quite imagine what expression or tone Tan Zheng used when he said this to Chang Zi. "Did he really say that?"
Chang Zi no longer felt like eating breakfast. Being subjected to this couple's affection early in the morning was truly heartbreaking. Wasn't this bullying her for not having a partner? "Nini, please wipe that smile off your face." Stop flaunting your relationship, please! (End of this chapter)
