Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 613: Morning with Wong Qifu

「Early the next morning, at six-thirty.」

After a night of rest, Xu Ke had mostly recovered the vital energy he had exhausted on the Haisui Expressway.

A breakthrough in strength really does wonders; the recovery speed has increased so much... Xu Ke reflected as he got up.

If he were still at the Houtian Great Perfection realm, that punch from Han Wang, coupled with the impact from the Jade Mountain Lotus and the bronze goblet, would have put him in bed for at least a day or two.

But now...

Xu Ke clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within his meridians, and his confidence soared to unprecedented heights. Once his strength neared the Innate Great Perfection realm, he wouldn't need to be so cautious and resort to scheming anymore.

If not for his weakness, he never would have bothered with the political games against the Huang and Ye Families. The most direct and correct choice would have been to simply march over and flatten them.

I still need to keep an eye out for more Dragon Essence Items, Xu Ke thought with an internal sigh. He then tidied up his clothes and left with Tang Yingchang.

He planned to find Wong Qifu, as they had agreed the day before to have breakfast together.

「At the doorstep of Wong Qifu's home.」

DING-DONG.

Xu Ke pressed the doorbell.

CLICK.

The door opened, and a familiar face came into view. Upon seeing Xu Ke, her eyes instantly lit up. She smiled, about to call out "Brother."

"Xu Yi, what are you doing here?" Xu Ke exclaimed in surprise.

I thought Lin Qinghua would open the door. I never expected to see Xu Yi. Why is my sister here?

Hearing his question, Xu Yi's beaming face froze, then turned livid. "Did you forget that you sent me here to stay?" she demanded.

Xu Ke was stunned, and his heart sank. This is bad... I completely forgot I'd arranged for Xu Yi to stay at Wong Qifu's house before I left for Sui City.

"How could I forget?" Xu Ke started making excuses. "When I went back to Junyue Residence yesterday, I saw Qin Yu opening the door to your place. I was worried you'd disobeyed me and snuck back home..."

"Stop lying, you big liar!" Xu Yi fumed, trying to slam the door in his face.

Fortunately, Xu Ke's reflexes were fast enough to stop the door, and he hurriedly pushed his way inside with Tang Yingchang.

Once inside, Wang Qiya, who stood behind Xu Yi, shot him a displeased look. "Brother-in-law, you're her older brother. How could you be so awful?"

"Exactly! I put aside my thesis to help you manage the clinic, and you completely forgot I was even here." Xu Yi began to sob. "I'm so miserable..."

Ignoring her, Xu Ke went to greet Lin Qinghua and Wang Wu.

Lin Qinghua greeted, "Good morning, Young Master-in-law."

Wang Wu added, "Mister Xu, good morning."

"Uncle Wu, Aunt Lin, good morning," Xu Ke responded politely.

Noticing Xu Ke's eager glances around the room, Lin Qinghua couldn't help but laugh. "Miss is upstairs. She hasn't gotten up yet."

"Then I'll go up..."

Xu Ke's eyes lit up. He figured Wong Qifu wouldn't be up yet, since she'd stayed up late last night. With that thought, he turned and dashed up the stairs.

Behind him, Xu Yi pouted angrily. "Qifu is so pretty, how could she be wasted on you? It's like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung."

She was still furious. How could he completely forget about me?

Hearing this, Xu Ke stopped in his tracks and declared righteously, "You can insult me, but you have to call her your sister-in-law."

"Shameless! You aren't even married yet!" Xu Yi retorted.

"Kids shouldn't meddle in adult matters. Qi Ya, you handle her." Xu Ke simply ignored her and dashed upstairs.

Seeing this, Xu Yi stamped her foot in frustration, which made Wang Qiya laugh.

The second floor was quiet. Mai Qing was nowhere to be seen.

Xu Ke wasn't concerned. He headed straight for Wong Qifu's room and knocked.

"Who is it?" Wong Qifu's voice, tinged with drowsiness, rang out.

"It's me," Xu Ke said in a low voice.

Recognizing his voice, Wong Qifu's tone relaxed into a lazy drawl. "...Why are you here?"

Xu Ke was speechless for a moment. "Did you forget we agreed to have breakfast together?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

So this is how Xu Yi felt just now, he thought.

"Oh…" A rustling sound came from the room as Wong Qifu apparently turned over in bed. Her voice, husky and soft with sleep, was intoxicating. "Then come in and get my clothes for me," she murmured. "I don't want to move…"

After a moment's thought, Xu Ke reached out and turned the doorknob.

CLICK. It wasn't locked.

Xu Ke's eyes lit up. He stealthily slipped inside and closed the door behind him. The moment he entered, Wong Qifu's unique, beguiling fragrance wafted into his nostrils, causing a subtle ripple in his heart.

Inside the room, the curtains by the window billowed slightly in the breeze. The bright sunlight, filtered through the blackout curtains, cast only a dim, amber glow. In this light, Wong Qifu was lying lazily in the center of the bed, her raven-black hair spread out like a cloud. The blanket failed to hide her smooth, exquisite, jade-like feet, their pale skin tinged with a hint of pink in the dim light. Even though she was covered, Xu Ke could still make out her alluring and shapely curves.

As he approached, Wong Qifu turned and pointed a finger toward the wardrobe. "Get me that suit."

Seeing her beautiful eyes half-open and hazy with sleep, Xu Ke couldn't help but smile. "Are you still very sleepy?"

Every time Wong Qifu appeared, she was always radiant and elegant, breathtakingly beautiful. She had never been like this—half-asleep, yet so soft and cute... This is the first time I've ever seen her like this.

"It's fine. I just need to wash my face," Wong Qifu said with a yawn, her eyes opening a little wider.

Xu Ke walked to the bed and sat on the edge. He looked down at the delicate collarbone revealed where her nightgown had slipped, and at the dazzling expanse of snow-white skin, and took a deep breath.

Wong Qifu saw his intense gaze and knew exactly what he was thinking. She protested playfully, "Go on, hurry and get my clothes. Why are you sitting down?"

To her alarm, as soon as she finished speaking, Xu Ke didn't move to get the clothes. Instead, he suddenly lifted the covers and slid in beside her.

He was instantly enveloped in her fragrance, sharing the warmth of her skin.

Wong Qifu was truly startled now, her face flushing red as she scrambled like a panicked rabbit. "What are you doing?! You pervert!"

"Have you forgotten?" Xu Ke chuckled. "We didn't nap together yesterday. How about we go back to sleep for a bit now?"

"Who wants to go back to sleep with you? Get up!" Wong Qifu's cheeks were crimson, her eyes wide as she tried to push him away. She was wide awake now.

A man and a woman alone in bed this early... What if things get out of hand?

"Come on, you look like you're still sleepy…" Xu Ke reached out his 'devil's claws,' stopping her struggles and pulling her into his embrace.

"Don't…"

"Don't move, just be good and sleep. I was seriously injured in Sui City and need to rest."

"Get out of here!" Wong Qifu laughed in exasperation, slapping his hand away. What a terrible liar. What kind of seriously injured person would be busy groping someone's waist, with his hands restlessly wandering up and down…

"Just lie down a bit longer. Cooperate," Xu Ke said, dissatisfied.

"No way. I already let you have your way yesterday. You need to get up now."

"What do you mean 'have my way'? We only kissed a few dozen times, that's all."

"Get out of here! What are you saying… Ah! Don't touch, you pervert!"

"Just one touch…"

"Mmm… you're cheating! Wasn't it supposed to be just once?"

"Just one more time… Ouch, ouch, ouch! Don't grab me there."

"Hmph!"

After a long while of their playful struggle, Xu Ke finally emerged from the room with Wong Qifu.

Wong Qifu straightened her clothes and shot him an indignant glare. "This is all your fault. Look how much time we wasted!"
