Even hybrid monsters have their day

Chapter 125 Absolutely

Qiu Pi sat down, and at that moment the lights on the dining table turned on, illuminating the perfect couple at the table.

Geng Miaowan placed some food in front of him, looking at him expectantly. He picked it up, took a bite, and said, "Hmm, not bad." After saying that, he ate several more bites, "I didn't expect you to have this skill."

“My family’s circumstances weren’t good before, and both my parents had to work, so I learned to cook and take care of myself when I was very young.” She wasn’t lying, because that was before she was reincarnated.

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to tell him about her situation. Qiu Pi reached out and held her hand, looking at her intently as he said, "Don't worry, I will take care of you from now on and I will never let you suffer again."

Geng Miaowan smiled and withdrew her hand, and he smiled back indifferently. The fact that she was willing to cook for him and share her own affairs was a good sign. So the meal proceeded unexpectedly smoothly, and even Qiu Pi, who usually disliked green peppers, ate quite a bit that evening, showing that he was already somewhat intoxicated by the atmosphere rather than the alcohol.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, he took her hand and headed for the door.

Even after getting into the car, Geng Miaowan was still complaining, "What are you doing? I haven't even cleaned up the dishes yet."

As Qiu Pi started the car, he said, "Just leave it there. Someone will come and clean it up tomorrow anyway."

"Where are you taking me?" Seeing the car getting further and further away from the city, Geng Miaowan said somewhat flusteredly, "I cooked so many dishes today, I'm a little tired, and I want to rest early tonight."

"It's okay, we'll be right back." He said, affectionately ruffling her hair. "If you're really tired, you can take a nap in the car."

His tone was incredibly gentle as he spoke, his expression almost overflowing with affection. Geng Miaowan couldn't help but wonder, somewhat absentmindedly, if he had activated the domineering CEO's doting mode...?

Qiu Pi led her to a beach not far from the city. Because it was night, there weren't many people there. As soon as they entered the beach, Geng Miaowan was captivated by the scenery before her.

The sky was filled with twinkling stars, their playful blinks merging with the distant sea. A bright moon hung where the sea met the sky, casting a silvery glow over the calm ocean—a truly beautiful sight.

Although the starry sky in modern society is not as pristine as that of ancient times, the starry sky reflected against the backdrop of the sea has a unique charm.

Qiu Pi looked at her with a flattering expression. "How is it? Isn't it beautiful? Last time I took you out to sea, I wanted you to see the starry night sky, but who knew that would happen? We don't have time to go out to sea today, so I brought you here first. I'll take you out to sea again in a couple of days when I have the chance. It's so much more beautiful there than here."

He spoke very quickly and at a lot; it was rare to see him so emotional.

Geng Miaowan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

She casually sat down on the beach, propped her hands behind her head, and lay back. The unobstructed 180-degree view of the starry sky was truly unique. Even the little worries in her heart seemed to be blinked away by the twinkling stars. She closed her eyes, quietly enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

After today, I don't know how long it will be before I see such a view again.

The starlight shone on her face, making her already flawless skin seem to be coated with a layer of radiance, like a fine luminous pearl, exuding a soft glow that made it hard to look away.

Qiu Pi lay down beside her, gazing at the starry sky in silence.

Geng Miaowan unknowingly fell asleep. In her hazy state, she felt someone kiss her, their touch extremely gentle, lingering on her lips. When she woke up again, she found Qiu Pi lying on his side facing her, staring at her intently without blinking.

Any psychologically normal girl would feel strange if she found herself being stared at by a man for a long time without her noticing, especially if he was a handsome man who seemed to have feelings for her.

At that moment, Geng Miaowan felt a very complicated feeling, something she couldn't quite describe, except that her face felt a little hot. She jumped up, wanting only to get out of his sight as quickly as possible.

Qiu Pi simply smiled. He didn't say anything to tease her.

"What time is it now?" She noticed that the moon in the sky seemed to have shifted.

Qiu Pi glanced at his watch and said, "It's 11 o'clock."

"What!" Geng Miaowan exclaimed in surprise. She had slept for three or four hours straight. She quickly said, "Let's go back right away," and took the lead.

After taking a few steps, she found Qiu Pi still standing there calmly with a half-smile on his lips, so she walked back, took his hand, and said, "What are you still standing there for? Let's go home quickly."

The words "we" and "go home" pleased Qiu Pi greatly. His smile widened, and he took her hand in return, leaned over and kissed her cheek, softly saying, "Let's go home."

Geng Miaowan tried to pull away, but he held her hand even tighter. She could only let him lead her by the hand toward the car.

And so, on the beach, a tall man led a pretty and lovely woman away into the distance. Behind them were a row of footprints and slender figures walking hand in hand.

"Geng Miaowan, you're such a pig," Luan Hao said sarcastically.

This time, however, Geng Miaowan didn't retort, because she herself had the same feeling. If she couldn't get back to the villa by midnight, then everything she had done would be in vain.

She turned her head and saw Qiu Pi's smiling face with a faint expression of satisfaction. She suddenly felt like the magician in Cinderella, giving him a beautiful dream that he had to wake up at midnight.

She suddenly didn't want to imagine the expression on the man's face after he learned the truth, the man who had been smiling like a child who had just received candy. She turned her head away, lowered her eyelids, and concealed the apology in her eyes.

Qiu Pi sensed her movement, and his smile deepened, though it was obscured by the shadows cast by the moonlight, making it difficult to see clearly.

Because it was nighttime, there were very few vehicles on the road, and the journey was smooth. Qiu Pi drove back to the villa in just half an hour. As soon as she entered the villa, Geng Miaowan quickly lowered her head and hurried to her room.

Qiu Pi watched her figure disappear at the top of the stairs, his smile vanishing instantly, replaced by a cold, resolute glint in his eyes. (To be continued.)
