Chapter 22 - Breasts covered with hickeys made him burn again

Hearing this, Chen Jun looked at Qiao Ning with ambiguous eyes, pursed his lips and smiled, “Okay, we will work hard.”

“Mom, you don’t have to worry about this. What are all these? You can take it all back.” Qiao Ning awkwardly pushed away the tonic on the table.

Qiao Mother hurriedly gathered the tonic into a pile and scolded: “Be careful, this stuff is very valuable! Especially this tiger whip and deer whip, I went through a lot of trouble to purchase them. We cannot place the blame on Chen Jun for not having children. He cooperated very well. It’s you! I told you yesterday, that you should have a baby sooner rather than later. In that case, you can then will recover faster, and you have the energy to take care of and nurture your child. That is also why I urged you to get married young. Now that you are married but you don’t want to give birth to children, what kind of marriage do you have!”

Chen Jun sat aside and said in agreement, “Mom is right, Ning Ning, you have to listen to Mother.”

Qiao Ning gave Chen Jun a look and signalled him not to speak.

Just happened that look was spotted by Qiao Mother. She reached out and poked Qiao Ning’s forehead, and said: “What are you staring at? I dare you to look again, you are 24 years old this year, which is the best childbearing age. If you don’t give birth now, are you going to wait until you are of advanced age?”

“It’s 25 to 30 years old.” Qiao Ning muttered in a small voice.

“Then you are pregnant now, weren’t you 25 when you give birth?” Qiao Mother sophomorically argued.

Her mother’s ability to talk was comparable to that of Tang Seng*, and it was almost endless. Qiao Ning was impatient, so she nodded and said perfunctorily: “Okay, I know, we will have plans.”

“That’s more like it!” Mother Qiao smiled, glanced at the balcony, saw so many sheets and quilts being dried, and asked casually, “The sun is not strong today, did you spring clean? Washed so many sheets?”

As soon as Qiao Mother said the words, Qiao Ning blushed instantly, and shyly lowered her eyes speechless, not knowing how to answer.

Chen Jun coughed twice, holding back a smile and said, “Well, the weather forecast says that the sun will be good tomorrow, so we took it out to wash.”

“Why does the mattress look wet? Are the sheets dripping on them?”

Mother Qiao was ready to get up to check on the sheets, and Chen Jun hurriedly said: “Mom, I’ll pour you some water to drink.”

Qiao Ning was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and burrow in it. Her ears became red and she couldn’t say a word.

Mother Qiao then paused: “No need. I will be leaving now.”

After sitting back down, she noticed her daughter with a flushed face. Looking at the blanket wrapped around Qiao Ning, she stretched out her hand and pulled at it: “Why are you wrapped in a blanket on such a hot day? I thought you had a fever.”

When Chen Jun wanted to stop her, Qiao Mother had already ripped open a corner. Half of Qiao Ning’s breasts, which were covered with hickeys, became exposed. Qiao Mother’s embarrassed hand froze in mid-air, and then looked at the situation on the balcony. As someone with experience in that, Mother Qiao naturally understood in seconds.

She got up and cleared her throat embarrassedly and said, “So, erm, Xiao Jun, I have some things to attend to and will make a move first, there is no need to walk me out.”

After that, she quickly walked to the door and pulled it open with Chen Jun following behind her. Mother Qiao instructed in a low voice before exiting: “That what …… The first thing you need to do is to take it easy, Xiao Ning is weak, the birth of a child is important, and your health is also important, you know!”

Chen Jun’s ears became red, nodded. He was too embarrassed to answer.

After closing the door, he looked at Qiao Ning on the sofa. She covered her head and hid in the blanket.

As soon as Chen Jun walked in front of her, Qiao Ning pulled down the blanket pouted and complained, “It’s all your fault! I have lost all my face because of you!”

“How can you blame me? It wasn’t me that made it wet.” Chen Jun sat next to her, holding back a smile and teasing her.

“The wet mattress was not your fault, but this area is your fault, isn’t it? You lick it, why do you have to suck and leave traces of it!” Qiao Ning pulled down the blanket and pointed to the hickeys on her chest to Chen Jun.

Her hickey-covered breasts rose and left as she breathed. Chen Jun’s breathing gradually became disordered, and his eyes lit up with lust. Qiao Ning noticed the situation and hurriedly wrapped the blanket tightly around her. It shouldn’t be hard again, would it? The fire of desire was too strong.

No, she had to hurry back to work, otherwise, she would be paralyzed on the bed by staying at home like this every day!

As Chen Jun approached, Qiao Ning hurriedly put her hand on his chest and said, “Don’t move, I remembered that my supervisor asked me to call him back. I have to make a call.”

Then she picked up the phone and dialled the department head’s phone number.

【Qiao Ning, what’s the matter? Your vacation is not over yet, is it? Is there something wrong? 】

【Ah? The company is busy! Here is not enough manpower! 】

【It’s not busy! You can just take your vacation leave and take care of your husband. 】

【Oh, that’s fine, I’ll go to work in the afternoon! It’s okay, my husband has been discharged from the hospital and is in good health. See you in the afternoon. 】

【Ah? Go to work in the afternoon? It’s Sunday! Hello! Hello! Why did you hang up? 】

Ending the call with chicken and duck talk*, Qiao Ning pretended to be sorry, “The company is too busy, I have to go to work in the afternoon.”

Chen Jun nodded thoughtfully, and then asked with a smile, “Today is Sunday, your company has to be more than busy to call you who is an admin staff to head back to work overtime.”

“That’s right, but because I’m on vacation, I have a lot of work piled up, so I have to go back even on Sundays!” Hey~ you capitalists don’t understand the hardships of us working as employees!”

Chen Jun held back a laugh, “Then I will send you.”

“No! No need! I will take a taxi! “Qiao Ning waved her hands rejecting him.

Chen Jun couldn’t bear it anymore, he threw Qiao Ning directly on the sofa, held her tender white face in both hands, gently rubbed her delicate skin with his thumb, lowered his head and kissed her a few times, and said warmly: “Don’t worry, I’m going to the club in the afternoon, and you can rest at home. If you’re too tired, I won’t do it tonight, but promise me, you can’t take birth control pills, and I’ll buy some condoms tonight.”

After Chen Jun finished speaking, he lightly pecked the tip of her small nose, and then got up and went back to the bedroom to change his outfit.

After changing into his suit, Chen Jun walked out of the bedroom, stood in front of Qiao Ning, stretched out his hand and pinched her little face, and said: “Whatever you want to eat tonight, I’ll bring it back for you. ”

“Anything.” Qiao Ning looked up at Chen Jun.

Wearing a tailor-made black suit with a smooth cut, and taking advantage of Chen Jun’s figure, made him even more handsome.

Qiao Ning blushed inexplicably, and her heart began to beat faster. He clearly said that he would not do it today. What was happening to her? Her face was still so hot!

“I’m leaving, be good at home.”

Until Chen Jun closed the door and left, Qiao Ning’s heart was still thumping.

Was it possible that she fell in love with him because she had sex with him a few times?

Impossible! She did not know how to explain her blushing, but it was impossible!

Qiao Ning did not want to think about it! Covered in a blanket and she slept away most of the day.

It was not until night fell that she woke up sleepily, sat up, and it was pitch black all around.

An inexplicable sense of loneliness came to her heart, her heart was heavy, and her breathing was not very smooth.

As soon as she stood up and wanted to turn on the light, there was the sound of the door being unlocked. The moment the door was opened, the light from the corridor came through, and a tall, sober figure stood in front of the door with a light behind it, looking at her with a smile.

At that moment, she suddenly wanted to hug him.
