Chapter 44: The Eighteenth Day of Their Romance. This long kiss ended...

When it ended, Wu Yunxi angrily slapped Quan Zhilong's chest. Finally, she buried her head against his chest to catch her breath, then slowly loosened her grip on Quan Zhilong's pajamas.

"Oppa, let's go back and rest?"

Sleepiness washed over Wu Yunxi, and she could barely open her eyes as she spoke. She was so sleepy, and she'd just exerted so much energy. Quan Zhilong smiled and picked her up. He returned to Wu Yunxi's room, gently placing her down. He lifted the covers, letting her lie down, and then he lay down beside her.

"Go to sleep."

Gently holding Wu Yunxi's waist, Quan Zhilong patted her back, coaxing her to sleep.

Before falling asleep, Wu Yunxi simply lamented that Quan Zhilong was treating her like a child. But why did it feel so sweet? It seemed like she had been truly happy ever since she met Quan Zhilong, even before they were in love.

After seeing Wu Yunxi fall asleep, Quan Zhiyong wasn't quite sleepy yet. He continued to pat her gently, afraid to wake her. His thoughts drifted to the puzzle they'd put together tonight. Stopping there wasn't quite like Quan Zhiyong's style. He often finished a piece and admired it for a moment before letting it sink in. Thinking

this way, Quan Zhiyong slowly sat up, ready to finish his thought. Because he'd fallen asleep holding Wu Yunxi, he was extra careful when removing his arm, fearing he might wake her.

Slowly getting out of bed, Quan Zhiyong didn't even put on his slippers, holding them in one hand as he tiptoed out. He opened and closed the door very quietly, fearing he might accidentally wake her.

Judging by Wu Yunxi's state before she went to sleep, it was clear she'd been out shopping for a long time and was exhausted.

The exhaustion from shopping is actually somewhat delayed. When you're in the mood, you don't really feel it at all, but once you relax or get home, you'll feel the real tiredness.

Before closing the door, Kwon Ji-yong glanced at Wu Yunxi, who was sleeping in bed. After gently closing the door, he went to the living room and turned on the light. He picked up the puzzle he had left in the corner. Fortunately, he had sorted it out briefly when he was tidying up, so now it was much easier to put it together than when he first started.

It's not like he hasn't received gifts like this before; fans have given Kwon Ji-yong puzzles they've assembled before, but this feels different.

Seeing the finished puzzle today was truly moving beyond words. It seemed like a simple thing when you think about it, but in his position, many things could be done for a fee, but this was different. Perhaps it was because the person who took such care of him was someone he loved, or perhaps it was because he appreciated this unique gift.

So, while one person was working on the puzzle, a smile played on their lips, but the focused person didn't notice, and no one else around could have reminded Kwon Ji-yong.

However, when Wu Yunxi woke up the next morning and saw the completed puzzle framed, she was completely stunned. It was obvious that Kwon Ji-yong hadn't gotten much sleep the previous night; otherwise, he wouldn't have finished it so quickly.

No wonder Kwon Ji-yong was still asleep when she woke up that morning. She'd assumed he'd just gotten some rest and wanted to sleep in, but it turned out he'd gone to bed so late the previous night.

Thinking about this, Wu Yunxi didn't bother waking Kwon Ji-yong. Instead, she looked at the completed puzzle and couldn't resist posting it on Instagram. She didn't have many followers on Instagram to begin with, but after the two of them went public, they'd gotten more. She really wanted to show off this. Besides, with all the recent news about the two of them, even if Wu Yunxi didn't post this photo, it wouldn't mean it wouldn't attract attention, and there wasn't anything shameful about it.

As soon as she posted this Instagram, many people responded.

[First Floor: Sister is so beautiful!]

[Second Floor: Who is this gift recipient? I won't tell you!]

[Fifth Floor: You're so obvious, up there!]

[Ninth Floor: @Kwon Ji-yong, you're welcome!]

...

Watching the comments pour in, Wu Yunxi didn't reply, nor did she stay on the page. Instead, she simply exited the app and started making herself a quick breakfast. After breakfast, Kwon Ji-yong still hadn't woken up, so Wu Yunxi didn't bother to urge him. She had originally planned to play in the living room for a while until he woke up, but before long, she felt bored. She kept looking back to see if Kwon Ji-yong had come out, but finally stood up and returned to her room.

Seeing the person sleeping soundly in bed, Wu Yunxi thought for a moment, took off her coat, and returned to bed.

She reached out and hugged the sleeping person. Kwon Ji-yong drowsily hugged Wu Yunxi back, his eyes still closed.

Holding her tightly, Wu Yunxi felt the anxiety she'd felt disappear. Watching Quan Zhiyong sleep, she drifted off to sleep herself.

When she woke up again, Quan Zhiyong was already awake, holding her with one hand and playing with his phone with the other. Noticing Wu Yunxi's movements, he turned and looked at her.

"Awake?"

She'd only wanted to watch him sleep, but ended up falling asleep herself. Wu Yunxi gave an embarrassed smile.

"Yeah, what are you looking at, Oppa?"

She'd just seen a familiar page on Quan Zhiyong's phone, but hadn't looked closely.

"I opened my phone and saw a bunch of messages, so I checked. Yunxi posted a photo of us online?"

Quan Zhiyong woke up and instinctively glanced at Wu Yunxi. Once he was sure she was still awake, he gently picked up his phone from the side. Even before unlocking it, he was flooded with messages. He thought it was news, but when he opened it, he saw messages from friends, and some @ing him. He

clicked on the message from Taeyang and saw that their way of showing affection was truly unique.

Taeyang noticed this popularity right after he got up in the morning and was playing with his phone. It is true that Kwon Ji-Dragon has been very popular recently, so when he saw it, he was afraid that it was bad news. He clicked on it and felt that he might as well not click on it.

However, he still sent a message to Kwon Ji-Dragon, and didn't think it was a big deal even if he didn't receive a reply.

When everyone woke up and saw that Kwon Ji-Dragon had replied to him, it was almost time for lunch. However, Taeyang did not choose to reply again after receiving the message, but smiled and talked about it with his wife.

Kwon Ji-Dragon didn't know about this either. He just looked at the fans' comments on this matter and lamented that he missed a good opportunity to show off.

But even so, he still felt it was great. When Wu Yunxi did not hide her love at all, and did not hide the relationship between the two, this was the real reason why Kwon Ji-Dragon really wanted to make it public.

Although he didn't want people to dwell too much on his private life, it was better for him to speak out himself rather than have it spread. This way, people wouldn't be so frantic about Wu Yunxi's true nature. This way, their relationship wouldn't have to be secretive, making Wu Yunxi afraid to get too close to him in public. He

was clearly a legitimate person, yet he had to be so secretive.

Seeing Wu Yunxi boasting online, Quan Ji-yong's initial reaction was joy.

But when he heard Quan Ji-yong ask him this, Wu Yunxi wondered if such behavior would affect him.

"Will it affect me? Should I..."

"No, it's okay. Don't delete it. I'm actually very happy."

Quan Ji-yong saw Wu Yunxi's worried expression and quickly reassured her, finally saying that he was just happy.

Hearing Quan Ji-yong's words, Wu Yunxi was also pleased.

"It was clearly a gift I wanted to give to Oppa, but he spent an entire night putting it together. What time did you go to bed last night?"

Wu Yunxi asked with concern, expressing her gratitude and unable to resist kissing her lips as she began to speak.

This left Quan Zhilong stunned. He turned and hugged her tighter, "This thank you isn't enough," and resumed the kiss.

Wu Yunxi had been about to say something, but now she couldn't remember what she wanted to say, completely lost in the intimacy between them.

When they finally let go, both of them were breathing faster, Quan Zhilong's hand even reaching unspeakable depths. But in the end, they didn't go any further. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but it wasn't possible right now. Time was running out. Quan Zhilong needed to get up and go out. There was something to do before he could get some rest.

"Would you like to go to the company with me?"

Quan Zhilong asked Wu Yunxi as he rose from the bed.

"Will it take a long time?"

Wu Yunxi also needed to consider whether going too long would disturb Quan Zhilong's work and distract him from her. If that was the case, she could stay home alone or go for a walk.

"It won't be long. It's just a small matter, about an hour. Come with me to the company? After it's over, I'll take you to eat something delicious." Quan

Zhilong persuaded again. After getting Wu Yunxi's affirmative answer, he went into the bathroom with confidence and started to wash up.
