Later, Third Brother went back to his room. When Hu Ran saw his face, she immediately knew that he received a scolding from Grandpa Sheng.

I really dont understand why that woman is such a busybody. She even cares about whether we sleep together or not.

Of course she does. If Grandpa knows we are just a couple by name, he will get suspicious. Hu Ran sat on the bed. While placing the blanket on the bed, she said to Third Brother, You just sleep here starting from today. Dont sleep on the sofa anymore.

Xiao Ran

Or maybe, we can drink some alcohol. Hu Ran suggested.

Both of them had the same thought. They just did not know how to say it. They did not know how they would manage to do that in a sober state.

Therefore, Hu Ran suggested alcohol.

Third Brother nodded and walked to the door. Ill get it.

When Third Brother had gone out, Hu Ran took out her nightdress from the closet and got changed. Actually, she had gotten it ready a long time ago. Although she was still unsure of her feelings toward him, she did not plan to change her husband. But if Sheng Bowen found a woman he loved in the future, she could leave him.

After a while, Sheng Bowen returned to the room with a bottle of wine in his hands. When he saw Hu Ran in a nightdress, he blushed. You

Lets drink. Hu Ran did not explain. She simply sat beside him.

Sheng Bowen smelled the aroma of the wine and then he smelled the nice scent on Hu Rans body. Suddenly, his heart started racing.

Whats wrong?

Xiao Ran, you dont have to do this.

But I dont regret it. Hu Ran smiled. Lets drink some wine.

They drank the wine. When Hu Ran leaned against Third Brothers body, Sheng Bowen could not focus his mind. Its not that he had never seen Hu Ran wearing sexy clothes. She just looked so sexy this time.

Xiao Ran, I still think that I am kind of taking advantage of you.

When Hu Ran heard him, she chuckled. Why are you so shy and cute?

Having said that, Hu Ran raised her head and pressed her lips onto his.

Sheng Bowens body stiffened right away.

Quickly, he pushed Hu Ran away and hid in the bathroom. After much consideration, he called Sheng Xiao who was about to board the plane at the airport. What is it?

Eighth Brother, is there anything I have to pay attention to before, and during, I do that thing with a girl?

Sheng Xiao was speechless.

Are you saying that you have been living like a monk for the past twenty years of your life?

I dont believe you had anyone before Qiqi.

Sheng Xiao choked. You dont have to learn this. You will know what to do as you are doing it.

Is it very painful for the girl for the first time?

Figure it out yourself, idiot. Im boarding now.

And Sheng Xiao hung up without giving any constructive advice to Sheng Bowen.

Still nervous, Sheng Bowen returned to the bedroom. However, Hu Ran was already laying on the bed. She breathed evenly. The more even her breathing was, the easier it was for Sheng Bowen to know she was pretending to be asleep.

Xiao Ran.

If you dont want to do it, I wont force you. Just go to sleep, Hu Ran said, calmly.

Its not what you think. Im just nervous. Because this is my first time being so close to a girl.

Hu Ran sat up from the bed and couldnt help laughing. Haha! Are you serious? I never thought you were such an innocent person, Third Brother.

I am very serious in my relationship. I dont want to be so casual, Sheng Bowen explained. I did not push you away on purpose.

Looking at Sheng Bowens ears, Hu Ran smiled once more. I thought you hated me.

How is it possible?

As soon as Sheng Bowen said that, Hu Ran leaned forward and kissed him. This time, it was not a peck. There was a bit of exploration, and some desire in the kiss. After a while, Hu Ran let go of him. Since you dont know how, we shall explore this together. Lets start with a kiss. What do you think?

Not bad.

Then, she removed his shirt and rubbed his chest. Then, what about this?

Its kinda weird.

Hu Ran laughed again. She had really never seen such an innocent man. Although she knew Sheng Bowen was a very righteous man when she first met him, she never expected him to be so conservative.

It looks like we will have to progress slowly, Hu Ran said and helped him wear his pajamas. Lets sleep. Dont sleep on the sofa anymore. We should at least shut that womans mouth up.

Then, they lay on the bed together. Looking at Hu Rans back, Sheng Bowen felt defeated. Im such a loser in this.

Hu Ran chuckled and plunged into Sheng Bowens arms. No, you arent. I just think that its funny when I tease you.

Im happy as long as you are not disappointed.

Hu Ran smiled and closed her eyes. Although many women liked skillful men, Hu Ran liked a man like Sheng Bowen. He took this very seriously. So, at least she could be sure that he would not mess around with other people. And it was surprisingly very reassuring.

There had been several occasions where they slept on the same bed. However, it was their first time cuddling each other.

Even with this, Sheng Bowen felt a bit suffocated although he had regarded Hu Ran as his wife since a long time ago.

Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao arrived at Las Vegas after a thirteen-hour flight.

Strictly speaking, this was Qiqis first time visiting the United States.

Although there were exchange programs offered in her previous school, Mu Tangxue always grabbed the chance before her. So, she was forever the one who was left behind. Speaking of this, it was ridiculous that a rich young lady like her rarely had the chance to go abroad.

Lets check in to the hotel. We shall register early in the morning. Sheng Xiao said because by the time they arrived in the United States, it was already seven oclock in the evening.

You purposely timed it with my birthday, right? Mu Qiqi raised her head and asked Sheng Xiao.

He smiled silently. He held Mu Qiqis hand and they got into the hotel limousine. Then, he embraced her. If you are tired, you can sleep. The hotel is some distance away. If you dont rest well, your eyes will swell when we get married. If you look too ugly, I will not want you anymore

Mu Qiqi was actually too excited to fall asleep.

Thats fine with me if you dont want

You are being naughty again, little one.

Mu Qiqi leaned on Sheng Xiaos chest. It felt unreal, marrying abroad. She had had this dream, to become Sheng Xiaos wife, since she was seventeen. Was it really coming true now?

Thinking of the bitterness of having a crush on him, Mu Qiqi suddenly chuckled.

What are you laughing at?
