189: Physiological liking

Half an hour later.

Chen Qiu knocked on the door of Zhang Mantong's home.

Zhang Mantong had already seen it was Chen Qiu on the hallway surveillance; as soon as she opened the door, she threw herself into his arms.

"President Daddy!"

Chen Qiu was pulled into the house by Zhang Mantong.

This was the first time Chen Qiu had seen Zhang Mantong's home.

It wasn't anything special, just a standard, fully furnished three-bedroom apartment!

However, while the house wasn't special, the little vixen hanging onto him was dressed very specially.

"You dress like this at home?"

Chen Qiu looked down at Zhang Mantong; the fabric she was wearing was hazy and thin.

Pressed against him, he could clearly feel the vixen's smooth skin and her graceful curves!

"That's because it's President Daddy's first visit!"

"I had to give you a grand welcome!"

Zhang Mantong giggled.

She leaned close to Chen Qiu's ear, her voice light and charming.

"Shu Shuang won't be back for another two hours. President Daddy..."

"I want to leave behind an unforgettable memory before I move out!"

Feeling Zhang Mantong's restless little hands, Chen Qiu couldn't hold back anymore... "Sister Shao, see you tomorrow!"

After leaving work, Shao Shushuang drove away in her Audi A4.

She used to always walk to and from work.

After all, it was only a ten-minute walk, and driving was actually more of a hassle!

Furthermore, as a newcomer to the workplace, she used to feel that driving an A4 to work was a bit too flashy.

It might affect how her colleagues and leaders perceived her!

But now... in the eyes of the leadership, she had already been labeled as Chen Qiu's!

Among her colleagues, she was seen as having a powerful background!

Since things were this way, Shao Shushuang felt the time was right!

Driving an A4 to work now would instead solidify her image in others' eyes!

Of course, the only trouble was that for a ten-minute walk, she had to pass through three traffic lights, and with rush hour traffic, driving wasn't much faster than walking!

After making her way back to the residential complex, Shao Shushuang drove into the underground garage.

Before she even reached her building's parking space, Shao Shushuang saw a few people gathered ahead from a distance.

"What's going on?"

Following their gaze, she saw two extremely eye-catching two-door sports cars parked in the space where she usually parked.

"Taking my parking spot?"

Shao Shushuang was stunned and quickly got out of the car, preparing to call the owners to move them!

Her eyes fell on the two cars: one was an aston martin, and the other was a mercedes-benz... wait!

Shao Shushuang's gaze landed on the somewhat familiar mercedes-benz AMG GT63 next to it!

"This license plate..."

"It's Chen Qiu's car!"

Shao Shushuang had seen Chen Qiu driving this car before; looking closer, she remembered.

Her gaze then fell on the aston martin; it was a soft-top convertible. Although Shao Shushuang didn't know the specific model, judging by its design and presence... it was likely more expensive than the Mercedes-Benz GT63 next to it.

"This should also be Chen Qiu's car."

Shao Shushuang guessed.

With Chen Qiu's cars parked in their building's underground garage, it meant... "Is he here to see Man Tong?"

Shao Shushuang's eyelid twitched, and she suddenly felt inexplicably nervous.

"Right now... they wouldn't be..."

Shao Shushuang's heart raced as she began walking toward the elevator lobby.

A few minutes later.

She arrived at her front door.

Even though she was just returning to her own home, Shao Shushuang was so nervous her palms were sweating.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered Zhang Mantong's previous description of Chen Qiu's combat prowess.

She carefully pressed her ear against the front door.

Holding her breath, she listened quietly for a moment.

"There doesn't seem to be any sound?"

"Could they not be home?"

"The rooftop?"

"The hallway?"

"Man Tong wouldn't go that far, would she?"

While Shao Shushuang's thoughts were racing, there was a click, and the door opened.

Startled, Shao Shushuang jumped to the side, her back against the wall, looking in terror at Zhang Mantong, who was leaning against the doorframe watching her with a smile.

"I saw you a long time ago. Sneaking around... were you trying to eavesdrop?"

Zhang Mantong crossed her arms and spoke with a huff.

Shao Shushuang took a few deep breaths before finally calming down.

She glared at Zhang Mantong and said crossly.

"You nearly scared me to death!"

With that, she walked into the house, her gaze scanning the room.

"Where is Chen Qiu?"

"How did you know he was here?"

"I saw his cars downstairs!"

"He's taking a shower!"

Zhang Mantong said, looking toward the bathroom.

Hearing this, Shao Shushuang raised an eyebrow.

"He just started showering? Does that mean I'm still home too early?"

"Should I go for a walk around the neighborhood to give you two some space?"

A lingering smile played on Zhang Mantong's lips.

"I see you really don't understand anything!"

"If the battle is too intense, one has to shower afterward as well!"

Seeing her best friend's dazed expression, Zhang Mantong's charming voice carried a heavy sense of languor.

"Can't you smell the gunpowder lingering from the flames of war?"

Hearing this, Shao Shushuang instinctively twitched her nose.

A faint scent that made her heart race flooded her nostrils.

Shao Shushuang looked toward the living room, her beautiful eyes behind her glasses slightly vacant.

"You didn't..."

"It wasn't just the living room!"

Hearing the hint of pride in Zhang Mantong's voice, Shao Shushuang was suddenly filled with annoyance.

A look of reproach appeared on her slightly flushed face.

"Zhang Mantong!"

"How am I supposed to live here after this?"

At the thought that the sofa, coffee table, bar counter, and kitchen could all have been their battlefield, Shao Shushuang's mind was filled with strange images.

"Live here? We're not living here anymore!"

"We're preparing to move!"

"Moving?"

Just as Shao Shushuang was about to ask in confusion, the bathroom door opened.

Wrapped in a towel around his waist, the shirtless Chen Qiu walked out.

His body, comparable to a sculpture of an ancient Greek god-king, radiating steam, left Shao Shushuang completely dazed.

Her heart pounded like a drum!

An indescribable throb emerged from deep within her heart!

Shao Shushuang's long legs under her trousers suddenly tensed and pressed together.

At this moment, a term she had often seen in the past two years suddenly surfaced in her mind.

Biological Attraction!
