Chapter 56: Playing Hard to Get?
She sighed, looked at Wen Yu again, and her voice softened, "Wen Yu, I want one..."
"Baby," Wen Yu interrupted her at the right moment, raising an eyebrow slightly, his tone conveying a sense of composure that he had expected her to act this way.
"We booked the top-floor presidential suite. The room is very large, with several bedrooms. You can sleep in whichever one you like."
As he spoke, he took the black room key from Qin Yue's hand and lightly twirled it between his fingertips.
"Furthermore, the security situation in Northern Europe... isn't as good as back home at night."
He leaned close to her ear, his voice carrying an air of self-righteousness.
"I'm worried about you sleeping alone. I have to stay by your side and protect you."
After saying that, he didn't give her any more chance to bargain, took her hand, and walked straight to the elevator with their fingers intertwined.
Su Qingyao was led by him and looked back at her friends.
Zhang Miaoke winked and waved at her, Shen Zhixian pushed her suitcase, and Jiang Shubai was about to lean closer to Shen Zhixian to say something.
Wen Zhaoyue, however, had already led her timid younger brother in another direction.
Well, the plan has completely fallen through.
She resigned herself to her fate and was led by Wen Yu into an astonishingly spacious suite.
Wen Yu wasn't lying to her; the suite did indeed have several luxuriously furnished bedrooms.
He casually placed their luggage in the living room and gave her a smile that was exceptionally gentle, yet sent a shiver down her spine.
"Baby, choose."
He opened his arms, gesturing to the open doors, "Which room would you like to sleep in? Or..."
He paused, his smile deepening. "Which room do you want to sleep in with me?"
Su Qingyao looked around at the several bedrooms, bit her lower lip, and pointed to the door next to the master bedroom, "I'll sleep in that one."
Wen Yu glanced in the direction she was pointing. The bedroom was small and decorated in a more minimalist style.
He shook his head. "I'll sleep in that room, you sleep in the master bedroom."
After saying that, he pushed open the door to the master bedroom, checked the bed, and took out a set of silk pillowcases from his suitcase, then skillfully laid them out.
"If you feel unwell or scared at night, just call me anytime."
He walked back to her, ruffled her hair, and said, "I'm right next door, the door's unlocked."
His thoughtfulness was impeccable, which made Su Qingyao feel a little embarrassed, realizing that she had been judging him by her own petty standards.
She gave a soft "hmm".
"Shall we go wash up first?" Wen Yu asked. "You must be tired after flying for so long."
Su Qingyao was indeed a little tired. She nodded, took her toiletries bag, and went into the master bedroom's ensuite bathroom.
When she came out drying her hair, Wen Yu was no longer in the living room.
She glanced at the bedroom door next door, which was slightly ajar, and warm yellow light shone from inside.
She returned to her room and climbed onto the soft, large bed.
The quilt was fluffy and carried the clean scent of sunshine.
She was exhausted, but lying down and listening to the faint sound of flowing water outside the window, as well as the occasional noises at night, she couldn't fall asleep.
The unfamiliar environment and the excessively quiet space made her feel a slight unease.
She couldn't help but prick up her ears, trying to catch any sounds from next door.
It's very quiet.
Wen Yu is probably asleep too.
She turned over and buried her face in the pillow.
Just then, she faintly heard a very faint, suppressed groan.
The sound was so soft that it would have been almost unnoticed if the room hadn't been so quiet.
It came from... the room next door.
Su Qingyao's body stiffened for a moment.
After being with Wen Yu, she learned a lot in a daze and immediately understood what that voice meant.
My cheeks started to feel hot.
She closed her eyes, trying to banish the voice from her mind.
But what followed was the rustling sound of fabric rubbing together, and a series of lower, hoarse breaths that clearly penetrated the wall and hit her eardrums.
He clearly... had already... on the plane just now...
Su Qingyao's face turned bright red, and her heart raced uncontrollably.
She instinctively gripped the blanket tightly, wrapping herself up close.
The sound was intermittent and did not last long before it quickly fell silent.
Next, the bathroom door was opened, and the sound of running water from the faucet could be heard.
Su Qingyao held her breath, not daring to move an inch.
After a while, she heard very light footsteps stop outside her bedroom door.
She didn't lock the door, and Wen Yu pushed it open a crack, letting in a thin ray of light from the corridor.
A tall figure stood in the doorway, silently watching her curled up on the bed, pretending to be asleep.
Wen Yu stood there for about ten seconds before walking in.
Su Qingyao's eyelashes trembled with nervousness.
He leaned down, his breath fresh and warm from his shower, and gently placed a kiss on her forehead, which was exposed outside the blanket.
Goodnight, baby.
His voice was low and husky, with a lingering trace of languor.
After saying that, he quietly slipped out and gently closed the door.
The bedroom fell into darkness and silence once again.
Su Qingyao slowly opened her eyes, touching the spot on her forehead where a trace of warmth still lingered, her heart pounding like a drum.
The sounds from next door just now, and his restrained and gentle goodnight kiss at this moment, created a strange contrast that made her heart tremble.
She shrank into the blankets, feeling enveloped by his silent yet powerful presence.
Lost in thought, I drifted off to sleep.
-
At nine o'clock in the morning, a group of seven people gathered in the hotel lobby.
Standing next to Qin Yue was Eileen, a tall and capable local guide in her thirties.
"Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Sweden. I'm Erin, and I'll be leading you through Stockholm and the surrounding area over the next few days."
She speaks slowly, clearly, and forcefully, which makes her seem reliable.
Zhang Miaoke greeted them cheerfully, and Shen Zhixian nodded politely. Jiang Shubai moved closer to Shen Zhixian and waved in response.
Wen Zhaoyue smiled slightly, and Wen Yan followed quietly behind her, curiously looking around.
Su Qingyao responded obediently, and Wen Yu nodded casually, his attention clearly not on Director Xiang.
His hand was holding Su Qingyao's hand, his fingertips gently caressing her knuckles and palm, bringing a subtle ticklish sensation.
Su Qingyao couldn't help but pull her hand away, protesting softly, "Wen Yu... stop touching me, it tickles."
Wen Yu turned his head to look at her, a hint of mockery in his eyes, and lowered his voice to whisper in her ear.
"So...baby wants me to touch other places?"
Su Qingyao's ears burned, and she glared at him. "No way!"
She suddenly remembered something and asked with a slightly serious expression, "Weren't we here to see the Northern Lights? Why are we wandering around Stockholm city center first?"
Wen Yu's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was matter-of-fact.
"Observing the aurora requires suitable weather and timing, and it can't be rushed. Let's relax for a few days and get familiar with the environment."
Su Qingyao thought about it and agreed, nodding, "Okay~"
Since I've already stood Song Yunyan up, a few more days won't make a difference.
Meanwhile, at the Beijing International Airport, thousands of miles away.
Song Yunyan held his phone, the screen displaying a polite and brief message from Su Qingyao not long ago.
The gist of it is that something came up and I couldn't come to pick you up from the airport, so we'll reschedule for another day.
He stared at those lines of text for a moment, a cryptic smile slowly curving his lips, and let out a soft snort from his nose.
Playing hard to get?
After not seeing her for several years, this bankrupt Su family sister has started using the same tricks again?
