Love You Till the End Chapter 1127 - 1135: I Missed You So Much Last Night I Couldn’t Sleep—Now I Have Dark Circles

He increasingly felt she was akin to a wife, her most feminine aspects surfacing unintentionally. Even a minor complaint from her brought him a sense of contentment.

"You can supervise me," he offered.

"How am I supposed to supervise that?" Su Jiuyi understood his implication and countered, "I can't be by your side twenty-four seven. Furthermore, I can't share a room with you at night; men and women are different."

"Why wasn't the difference between men and women mentioned when we slept in the same bed before?" Shi Aoju inquired casually.

"Before... it was different!" The first encounter was orchestrated, and the second was due to intoxication. Both were considered accidents and couldn't be equated.

"It was different," Shi Aoju conceded. "Previously, we got to know each other intimately, but now, even kissing is regrettably scarce."

He deliberately stressed the word 'intimately,' inevitably leading thoughts astray, and Su Jiuyi, recalling their passionate moments, felt her face flush.

Indeed, men were creatures driven by desire. He typically presented an image of aloofness and pride, both cold and distant, yet he could utter such words.

Su Jiuyi took a sip of milk to compose herself before stating, "I likely won't be back until tonight. What would you like to eat? I'll bring it back for you when I return."

"I want to eat something you made yourself," Shi Aoju replied.

"Certainly." Su Jiuyi pondered for a moment. "How about this: you tell me what you desire, and I'll go purchase the ingredients right now. I'll bring it back once it's prepared; the only condition is that it can't be overly complex, or there won't be enough time."

"I want to eat what you prepare in my kitchen," he insisted.

Su Jiuyi: "..."

Did this man suffer from some kind of wealthy-person syndrome? Wasn't preparing a dish the same regardless of the kitchen, or did he believe his kitchen was somehow superior, thus enhancing the food's flavor?

"I want to see you before nine tonight, or face the consequences," Shi Aoju's voice reverted to its cold, deep timbre, imbued with an undeniable authority.

"I'll try." The events of the night remained uncertain, and Su Jiuyi couldn't predict any unforeseen complications, leaving her unsure of her return time to the Shi Family residence.

"Hmm, you can try, but the repercussions could be severe." His tone dropped again, carrying a menacingly dangerous undertone.

Su Jiuyi conjured an image of Shi Aoju in a fit of rage, causing chaos... and a shiver coursed down her spine.

"Um, Young Master Jue..."

"Half your salary will be deducted," Shi Aoju interrupted coldly, clearly displeased by the address 'Young Master Jue.'

"..." Su Jiuyi was momentarily stunned.

"Hanging up."

"Beep——"

Holding the phone, it took Su Jiuyi a moment to process the situation. Believing she might have offended him by calling him Young Master Jue, she frowned and began typing a few messages to send.

——Don't be angry; I won't call you Young Master Jue again in the future.

——To be honest, Su Zhenxiong is forcing me into a blind date tonight.

——The blind date is with Sun Zhihao, a man around forty.

——I'm just going through the motions; don't overthink it.

——Actually, I missed you greatly last night and couldn't sleep, even developing dark circles. Don't you dare laugh at me when I get back.

——Okay, that's all for now. Stay busy.
