Dominant Marriage: The CEO's Overbearing Love-Chapter 53 The Man in Love

The next day, Shen Yanchen called her after he had prepared breakfast.

Gu Qimiao noticed it was almost eight o’clock and realized her alarm hadn’t gone off and her phone wasn’t nearby.

She hurriedly finished her breakfast. Even though the gallery painter’s work hours were flexible, Gu Qimiao didn’t want to appear special, letting people think she was arrogant and give more reason for gossip.

The snow outside had melted, but the temperature hadn’t risen. Gu Qimiao, who feared the cold, was bundled up, looking "short and chubby." Watching her run clumsily, Shen Yanchen’s face lit up with a "good mood" as he started the car and headed to the company.

Upon arriving at the office, everyone was talking about how different General Manager Shen was today!

"Is he smiling? He looks so content."

"That’s what a man in love looks like."

He Ye arrived just on time, overhearing the commotion in the assistants’ room as she swaggered into Shen Yanchen’s office, finding him staring at his computer screen and smiling. Though not obvious, he was indeed smiling!

"General Manager Shen." He Ye called out formally and walked over, sneaking a glance at his screen, to which he made no effort to conceal.

It appeared to be entertainment news, showing Gu Qimiao in an expensive dress from the night before, seemingly captured by paparazzi.

And this man was smiling at that picture!

Shen Yanchen, noticing He Ye’s silence, turned his gaze back to the screen, feeling as if someone had intruded on his privacy. He quickly wiped the smile off his face, and lowered the screen slightly, reverting to his cold demeanor, "If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out."

He Ye chuckled wickedly, "Heh, heh, did you have a good time last night?"

Shen Yanchen glared coldly, offering no response.

To He Ye, that was an admission.

"That chick doesn’t seem like much. Want to try a different flavor tonight? I can pick someone more exciting for you?"

The word squeezed through Shen Yanchen’s teeth, "Scram."

He Ye looked anxious for him, "Don’t be so hung up on one woman. With your looks and status, you can do better!"

"Scram!"

Seeing Shen Yanchen clenching his fists, He Ye quickly stepped back, "Alright! You’re a saint. But hey, bro, there’s something I’ve always wanted to ask."

Braving Shen Yanchen’s icy stare, He Ye finally asked the question that had been bothering him, "...When did you lose your virginity?"

"Thud!" A thick book flew past He Ye’s ear, grazing his face slightly, causing a bit of pain. Stunned and realizing it could have smashed his handsome face if he hadn’t reacted swiftly.

When he saw Shen Yanchen picking up another book, He Ye quickly bolted out the door. With a "thud," the book hit the glass door, aimed right at his head.

He Ye ran off in a slight panic, the four front-desk assistants staring at him blankly. Quickly straightening himself up, he cleared his throat, adjusted his suit jacket, and walked into his office with a confident stride.

After he left, Shen Yanchen lifted his laptop screen again, his eyes locked on Gu Qimiao’s graceful figure. His hand unconsciously stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Though his face was stern, his thoughts wandered.

Was it the first time? That must have felt great.

He was a normal man with biological needs, naturally having desires for the woman he liked. But now was not the time to let those desires run wild.

Thinking of her wrapped only in a bath towel last night, his lower abdomen grew hot. Quickly closing the web page, he opened a drawer, took out a cigarette from the pack, lit it quickly, took two deep drags, and exhaled deeply, his gaze becoming hazy through the smoke...

Miaomiao, how much longer are you going to make me wait?
