Chapter 433 – Growing Dependence

Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

Couldn’t bear to disturb the quiet scene, didn’t make a sound, just quietly walked over to the bed and planted a shallow kiss on the foreheads of the two children. They … were his angels …
As if by tacit agreement, she suddenly looked up and bumped into his deep gaze, and as if she thought she was dreaming, she blinked and stared at him in bewilderment.
He smiled gently at her and opened his mouth, his voice lowered but full of teasing, “Mrs. Zhan, are you going to greet Mr. Zhan with a daze all the time?”
Zoey ‘poofed’ and burst out laughing. Almost immediately, she closed her book and walked quickly towards him in surprise. Jerry Xiao opened his arms and hugged the soft her in a full embrace. She hugged his waist intimately and murmured, “I thought I was dreaming. Weren’t you not going to be back for two more days? Why are you suddenly running back now?”
Jerry Xiao, afraid of disturbing the children, embraced her out of the room and gently brought the door to the room before embracing her deeper into his arms. Speaking softly, he said, “I’ve finished my work, so I came back first. However, after only a few days of absence, you seem to have gained a lot of weight again.”
Zoey was in tears. “My mother-in-law, plus my mom and my godmother, always send a lot of tonic soup back and forth. After I drink this, I have to drink that, how can I not gain weight? God, I’m so worried, what if I gain too much weight and can’t lose it? Well, I don’t want this belly full of meat …”
She expressed resentment. Being out of shape was a big no-no for marriage preservation. Besides, she was like a meatball now, but he was as plump and handsome as ever. Even with that shiny ring on his finger, there were still quite a few women who came forward. The good thing is, he never fails to impress Zoey.
Any more peach blossoms would be cut cleanly and mercilessly by him in a few words.
Jerry Xiao seemed to know what she was thinking, helplessly pinched her face, “Don’t think nonsense, what kind of person I am, you know better than that. Besides, it’s good for you to grow a bit fatter, you were too thin before. Don’t learn from the people outside, seeking bone beauty.”
“You comfort me as much as you can! I don’t care, anyway, once the child is born, I’m going to devote myself to the great cause of restoring my figure. No matter what …” she hung her hands around his neck, narrowed her eyes and looked at him with a smile, “I’m going to keep Mr. Zhan’s heart well by virtue of my figure.”
Jerry Xiao loses his smile and looks at her, “Do I look like the kind of guy who’s shallow and only likes you for your looks?”
Zoey leaned in close and pressed herself against him, “I’m saving for a rainy day. You’re going to be looking at me for the rest of your life, and if I get tired of looking at you someday, I’m not going to be able to regret it.”
She was leaning against him like that, her breath scattered around his ears, her fresh scent fresh from the shower, her soft form undoubtedly brushing against his entire body.
The sturdy muscles, slightly tensed a little. All of this, all hooked Jerry Xiao all the senses. He only felt a hot current surging downward, his deep pupils became a little deeper, his big palm fell on her waist, gently rubbing back and forth, “So, one day, maybe you will also get tired of looking at me?”
The voice, all of it, had a heart-stopping darkness to it.
“Of course not!” Zoey shook her head almost immediately. As if to express her sincerity, she raised her face to emphasize it again, but froze at the look he gave her.
That gaze was clearly burning with lust. Zoey felt the mood jump, and softly reminded, “Mr. Zhan, this … is the living room.”
“No one says no kissing in the parlor.” When he bent his head, he took her gently warbling lips.
God knows, he hadn’t tasted her lips in days …
And, for a longer period of time, he didn’t hurt her and love her properly …
Because of his pregnancy, he was always careful not to mess around. What’s more, he didn’t dare to want her too closely, for fear of hurting her and the child. So, could only torture himself. Several times, he was almost driven crazy, but in the end, he had to hold back because of the doctor’s instructions.
Zoey once asked for a separate room because she couldn’t bear to see him suffer like this. However, such a proposal was simply too ridiculous for Jerry Xiao to imagine. How could he sleep without her in his arms? He couldn’t bear the feeling of emptiness.
Separated for a few days, each other again tasted each other’s breath, it is uncontrollable. He kissed deeply, she also responded passionately as fire, the two people tightly entwined together, as if to the thoughts of the past few days through this are conveyed to each other.

In the bathroom, there was the sound of ‘splashing’ water. Zoey slept on the bed, leaving one side empty. A few nights ago, it had been hard to sleep because of the lack of this place. I thought it would be a few more days, but he was actually back.
Smiling and bending her eyebrows, she hugged the quilt and inhaled deeply. Smelling his residual scent, only feel so relieved, so relieved …
Jerry Xiao, wearing a gray bathrobe, pushed open the bathroom door. She had already closed her eyes in a daze, and when she heard the movement of the door opening, she opened her eyes and stretched out her arms with a lazy look like she wanted him to hug her.
Lifting the covers and lying in, Jerry Xiao opened his arms and wrapped her whole body into his embrace. The lemon fragrance of the two people after bathing entangled together, and in the air, there was a sweet scent.
“Let me hear the baby.” He hunkered his whole body under the covers and pressed his ear lightly against her belly. She smiled, stroked his short standing hair, and asked softly, “Is there a sound? At this hour, the baby is asleep.”
“There are voices. Maybe, he’s saying for you to let him out.”
“Nonsense. Baby’s not old enough to jump out now.”
He inclined his face and planted a compassionate kiss on her bulging belly. “Baby must know that all of us are waiting for him to come. So, couldn’t wait to come and see us.”
Bursting out from under the covers, his arms tightened and he took her in his arms. Zoey circled her arms around his waist, her face pressed against his chest.
“How have the last few days been, and have KK and Nini fought again?” He asked as he slowly rubbed her soft arm.
“They’ve all been very good, and they’re afraid to raise their voices in front of me now for fear of pissing me off. How about you? Did you eat on time over there?”
“I’ve been doing all right. It’s just …” He paused, bent his head, and gazed deeply into Zoey’s face. Planting a deep kiss on her lips before speaking, “Just miss you and the baby so much.”
Zoey hugged him emotionally, “I miss you too, KK and Nini talk about you so many times a day.”
“Next time, on another business trip, take me with you, okay?” Zoey asked. She felt as if she was becoming more and more dependent on him since she got married.
“No way. The plane ride is going to be so long, I’m afraid you’ll be tired.” Jerry Xiao gently ruffled her hair scattered on her cheeks.
“But I don’t want to leave you … at night without you around, always lose sleep.” She rubbed against his arm and could feel his arms full of pain.
He laughed bitterly.
In fact, why would he ever want to leave her? Why didn’t he feel like tossing and turning without him? It was just that, more than anything, he didn’t want her to have a hard time flying.
“In the future, I’ll try to travel as little as possible. OK?” He had to take a step back.
She smiled, nodding in satisfaction, “Good.”

One Night …
The temperature in the summer room climbs again and again. The flavor of love and affection fermented in the air. The soft moonlight, gently enveloping each other, gave them a layer of absolutely beautiful white veil all over …
Everything, it’s all so beautiful …
