After they spooned on the couch -- underneath the wool blanket that had kept them warm, they did it one more time at the bedroom before finally falling asleep well past midnight.
Fei Huangjin woke up at five in the morning, stunned when he realized that there was a soft ball of warmth clinging on to him. She was lying on her stomach at his side with half of her body on top of him. It made him smile.
The smile quickly collapsed into seriousness as his pupils dilated. He felt Ying Yue's leg rub against his crotch. This woman… was she really asleep or was she trying to seduce him in her dreams?
He could feel himself getting hard even when he willed himself not to. It was an impossible task, especially with the fresh memory of her moans last night. Fei Huangjin glanced at Ying Yue's sleeping face, pondering on how to move her off him gently. However, all thoughts of that went up in smoke as his eyes travelled to the bare skin of her chest, where a love bite could be seen dipping towards the swell of one breast.
Fei Huangjin slid down the bed gently and started kissing her cheeks and chin. She stirred, trying to push him away.
He slid lower and grabbed her waist, his mouth closing in on her skin.
"Ah!" Ying Yue's eyes flew open and she pushed him away with a slap. "You pervert! Go away! Can't you see I'm sleeping?"
He rubbed at his cheek where he felt the sting of her palm. "It's already five o'clock," he complained.
"You mean it's STILL five o'clock?" She made a sound of annoyance from the back of her throat. "You kept me up all night! The least you could do is to let me sleep!" She grabbed the covers and pulled it up and over her head, hiding underneath it.
He proceeded to pout. "You're lying naked beside a man in his prime. Shouldn't you be responsible for your actions?"
"I said go away!"
Ouch, that hurt.
Fei Huangjin's lips thinned as he stared at the mound underneath his gray comforter. He was still hard. And she was accountable for it. He blew out a breath of frustration and walked over to his en suite bathroom. The sound of the cold shower beating on him echoed into the room the next moment, but Ying Yue had already fallen back asleep, oblivious to the torture she'd put him in.

"Good morning, Vice President Fei."
"Good morning!" Fei Haocheng greeted his secretary with a wink before closing the door behind him. The male secretary wondered what had gotten into his boss that day. Fei Haocheng was normally late or just on time for work.
The vice president of Fei International was in a good mood today. He had successfully booked a lunch date with his darling Lina. He had come to work bright and early not just to let his brother go easier on him, but also so he could finish early with overseeing the operations of their company and still have time to pick up Lina himself. He hummed a happy tune as he sat on his desk, already checking out which documents needed his signature. The pile on his desk was bigger than usual -- it looked like it was twice the size of the documents he usually had to review.
He plucked one out randomly from the pile and scanned it through. The happily arched eyebrows on his forehead plunged down. This was a draft for one of their overseas projects. Why was this here? These didn't need to be reviewed by him; they were usually sent straight to the CEO's office.
Fei Haocheng pressed the intercom and asked for his secretary to pick up some documents from his office. When the man entered, Haocheng had already divided the pile into the things that he usually handled and the things that should be tended to by his older brother.
He pointed to the bigger pile on one side of his desk. "Take these to Fei Huangjin's office. Those shouldn't even be here."
His secretary had a confused look on his face. Didn't the Vice President know that the CEO wasn't coming in today? Was he not informed about it? "But sir--"
