A domineering CEO falls in love with me, an unmarried mother of seven!

Chapter 149 I Will Always Hold You

As she gently stroked him, Tan Zhengchu's eyelids trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up: "Oh dear, it's so itchy."

But the upturned corners of her mouth and the overflowing smile clearly revealed a deep sense of happiness.

Su Yingxue ignored his teasing and continued to trace patterns on her fingers.

Carefully tracing his features, she exclaimed sincerely, "Look at your three-dimensional features and perfect facial lines, I can't get enough of looking at you."

The love in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Lost in her sweet bliss, Su Yingxue suddenly remembered where they were.

Her expression changed slightly. She propped herself up and stared intently at Tan Zhengchu: "Zhengchu, we're in Zhao Dakuang's territory right now. Your sudden appearance is definitely not simple. What's your plan?"

Tan Zhengchu reached out and affectionately pinched the tip of her nose, chuckling softly, "You, don't worry about those things, just be a good girl and take care of yourself with Xiao Qi."

Su Yingxue frowned slightly and muttered in dissatisfaction, "You're still hiding this from me. I want to help you and face this with you. I don't know anything, so I'm not confident."

Although it was a complaint, there was understanding in her eyes.

She understood that Tan Zhengchu did this because he was afraid she would be put in danger.

Tan Zhengchu noticed her hesitation, pulled her into his arms, and gently comforted her: "Yingxue, I'm just worried about your safety. I'll handle some things. Trust me."

Su Yingxue gave a soft snort and snuggled closer to him. The slight dissatisfaction in her heart instantly dissipated, leaving only complete trust and dependence on him.

The two embraced, exchanging words as if they were pouring out all the things they had accumulated during their separation.

Su Yingxue herself found it strange. She, who was not usually very talkative, suddenly became very talkative when she met Tan Zhengchu, and time seemed to fly by.

Tan Zhengchu tilted his head slightly and glanced at the wall clock; the hour hand had quietly slipped past midnight.

He frowned slightly and patted Su Yingxue's back gently: "Yingxue, it's getting late. You need to rest. I should go."

Su Yingxue's heart skipped a beat, and a wave of reluctance washed over her.

She quickly got up, picked up the coat draped over her shoulders, and tiptoed to carefully drape it over Tan Zhengchu.

She wrapped her arms around his waist, pressed her head against his back, and said in a muffled voice, "It's so dangerous for you to come and go through the window like that. My heart was in my throat the whole time."

Tan Zhengchu turned around, took her hands in his, and said with a gentle yet firm look in his eyes, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. You go to sleep."

After saying that, he gently kissed her forehead.

Tan Zhengchu leaned down slightly, his nose lightly brushing against Su Yingxue's cheek, a carefree smile playing on his lips, his eyes full of affection.

Su Yingxue's cheeks flushed instantly, like ripe peaches. She raised her hand and gently pushed his chest, saying coquettishly, "Can't you be serious for once!"

Tan Zhengchu seemed not to hear her, his slender fingers slowly caressing her burning face.

He gently caressed her with his fingertips, his eyes overflowing with love: "I love seeing you so shy."

He paused, tilted his head slightly, his smile deepening, and asked, "Yingxue, have you missed me these past few days?"

Su Yingxue bit her lower lip and glared back at him defiantly: "And you, have you missed me?"

Tan Zhengchu chuckled softly, reached out and pinched her nose, teasingly saying, "If you keep saying you miss me, I guarantee I'll be overjoyed."

The two were joking around when a clear, childlike voice suddenly rang out: "Mommy!"

It's Xiaoqi's voice.

Su Yingxue froze, her expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly reached for the belt of her bathrobe.

Her fingers trembled slightly with nervousness as she hurriedly whispered, "Zhengchu, quickly check your clothes."

Tan Zhengchu also composed himself and quickly straightened his clothes.

Su Yingxue quickly tidied herself up and rushed towards Xiao Qi's room.

Little Qi was huddled in the blanket, her eyes red from crying, her little body trembling.

"Mommy, this room is so dark, I'm scared..."

Xiaoqi said, sobbing.

Su Yingxue felt extremely sorry for Xiao Qi and, together with Tan Zhengchu, carried her into the master bedroom, gently comforting her.

Through her teary eyes, Xiao Qi saw Tan Zhengchu and was startled at first, then her eyes shone like stars, "Daddy!"

She shouted happily and leaned forward to give Tan Zhengchu a quick kiss.

Tan Zhengchu's eyes welled up with tears. He hugged Xiaoqi tightly and patted her back gently to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, baby. Daddy's here. We'll be able to go home in a few days."

He silently plotted his plan to deal with Zhao Da Kuang, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, gone in an instant.

Su Yingxue stood there, watching the father and daughter interact affectionately. The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing a knowing smile. Her heart was filled with warmth: It's so good for the family to be together.

Su Yingxue glanced up at the wall clock without realizing it.

The clock hands quietly pointed to two in the morning. He frowned slightly and urged softly, "Xiao Qi, it's too late. Be good and go to sleep."

Xiao Qi snuggled closer to Tan Zhengchu and looked at Su Yingxue with pleading eyes: "Mommy, I want to sleep with Daddy."

Su Yingxue looked at Tan Zhengchu with a questioning gaze: "Why don't you wait until Xiaoqi falls asleep before you leave?"

Tan Zhengchu nodded without hesitation and said gently, "Okay, you can leave tomorrow morning. We can't let Xiaoqi be scared."

The three of them huddled together on the big bed.

Tan Zhengchu held Xiao Qi with one arm and gently patted her with the other, humming a soft lullaby.

In this warm embrace and with gentle humming, Xiaoqi's eyelids gradually drooped, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.

Tan Zhengchu carefully tucked her in, moving so gently that he was afraid of waking the little one.

After doing all this, he turned around, stretched out his long arm, and pulled Su Yingxue into his arms.

Then he gently rested his chin on the top of her head and whispered, "Yingxue, it's so good to have you and Xiaoqi by my side."

Su Yingxue tilted her head slightly, her cheeks flushed with a shy blush, and lightly touched Tan Zhengchu's lips like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Tan Zhengchu understood immediately and instantly grabbed the back of her head.

With a slight pressure, he deepened the kiss, as if pouring all his longing and reluctance into it.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Nestled in his arms, Su Yingxue inhaled the unique, cool fragrance, and drowsiness washed over her like a tide.

Her eyelids were drooping, and she mumbled, "Will you hold me forever?"

Tan Zhengchu tightened his arms around her and solemnly promised in her ear, "Don't worry, I will always hold you."

……

The next day, the morning light shone through the sheer curtains into the cozy bedroom.

Tan Zhengchu, Su Yingxue, and Xiaoqi, a family of three, were immersed in a sweet dream.

Suddenly, a rapid knocking sounded like thunder, instantly shattering the tranquility.

Su Yingxue woke up with a start, her sleepy eyes widening instantly.

When he saw Tan Zhengchu still lying safely in his arms, his face turned deathly pale.

She sat up straight as if she had been burned.

She frantically pushed Tan Zhengchu away with both hands, her voice trembling with anxiety: "Why are you still here?"

Tan Zhengchu was awakened by the noise. His thick eyelashes trembled slightly as he slowly opened his eyes.

Instead of showing any panic, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
