The President is Being Shameless Again

Panda Novel

“I know you guys didn’t plan to stay the night, so you didn’t bring anything. Here are some skincare products, they’re all new. I tend to hoard stuff, you see, and I always buy replacements when my old skincare items are half-used. That’s why you can use as much of this as you like. They’re all anti-aging products, though… but you’re only using them once, so it should be fine,” said Jian Muhua.

Xu Moyan accepted the things. “Thank you so much. I haven’t even thought about it, so if you hadn’t come along, I’d be pulling my hair out over my make-up removal in a bit. I’m starting to use some products with anti-aging effects lately too, so it should be fine for me to use these.”

She was over 25 years old now, and her skin was slowly aging.

In the past, they always said that 25 was a milestone. After they turned 25, women would find that their skin was beginning to deteriorate. She had not felt that before she turned 25.

Early last winter, however, around November, the heater was turned on at home, and she suddenly realized that her face was unbearably dry. This had never happened to her before. She had used her usual routine, but slightly over three hours later, her face was already growing taut from the dryness. Even when she put on her make-up, the foundation would not stick, and visible lines would appear on her face whenever she smiled.

That gave Xu Moyan a shock, and she hurriedly hired a procurement service to buy a ton of medicinal masks from Japan. She also switched to moisturizing and early anti-aging products, alternating between liquid and sheet facial masks every day. Even so, it had taken her half a month to get her skin back on track.

She had been distracted by Wei Zilin when they entered the room earlier, so her skincare woes had not occurred to her. If Jian Muhua had not dropped by, she would not even know how to wash her face later.

In other words, Jian Muhua’s visit was exactly what the doctor ordered.

Jian Muhua was also glad to have been of help. She asked Xu Moyan to rest early and left without delaying for too long.

When Xu Moyan closed the door and returned to the room, she saw that Wei Zilin’s expression was still far from pleased.

She burst out laughing, saying, “I’ll go take a shower.”

Since her current surroundings were unfamiliar to her, she washed up fairly quickly. Jian Muhua really did think of everything, providing everything from make-up remover to facial wash, moisturizer, serum, eye cream, and facial cream. There was even a tube of men’s facial wash for Wei Zilin.

Jian Muhua had clearly bought this for the old master, but it was new and unused as well. The old master could not be bothered to use so many products, and he always insisted that these tubes and bottles were things only women used. After they nagged his ear off, however, he finally agreed to wash his face with a facial wash every day, followed by a little cream.

That was why Jian Muhua could provide Wei Zilin with some men’s facial cream too.

Xu Moyan emerged from the bathroom. It was Wei Zilin’s turn to bathe. “There’s a bottle of men’s facial cream on the sink, don’t forget to use it.”

While Wei Zilin was bathing inside, Xu Moyan scrolled through Weibo and read her followers’ comments.

By the time Xu Moyan dried her face and hair, more than half an hour had passed too.

She checked the comments below her newest Weibo post and saw her fans saying pitifully, “She’s always either AWOL or blinding us with her romance.”

“Yu Linling met Goddess’ parents last week, and this week, Goddess went to meet Yu Linling’s family. Is it just me, or are they prepping for marriage?”

“The Great Liege works fast, even when getting married.”

She had barely spent a few minutes on Weibo before Wei Zilin reemerged from his bath. He had taken much less time than she had.

His hair was only half-dry. If this man had any flaws, Xu Moyan would say that he really did not seem to have much patience. Even when blow-drying his hair, he never completed the job. Every time, she would have to pick up the hairdryer and dry his hair for him.

It was the same this time as well. Xu Moyan put down her phone and went to the bathroom, bringing out the hairdryer.

Wei Zilin was now looking at the Weibo comments on her phone, smiling as he read them. He looked as pretty and peaceful as a picture.

Xu Moyan took two pillows and put them behind his back, so that he sat up straighter.

He acted like he owned the place, and it exasperated Xu Moyan to no end. She teased him, saying, “Is the service to your satisfaction, sir?”

When Wei Zilin heard that, he finally raised his head and put his arm around her waist. “Quite so. Of course, I’d be even more satisfied if you can provide me with a little extra special service later.”

Xu Moyan, “…”

She could never beat him in a battle of words.

Xu Moyan patted away his hand around her waist. “I’ll dry your hair for you. Sit up straighter.”

Wei Zilin obediently pulled his hand back, just in time to hear Xu Moyan said, “Why are you always like this? You should remember to dry your hair completely before you sleep. If you sleep while your hair is wet, the moisture will get into your bones, and you’ll end up with all sorts of side-effects.”

She complained as she blow-dried his hair for him.

They were not even married yet, but they already felt like an old couple.

As she nagged him, Wei Zilin imagined the distant future, when they were much older. Even then, she would be nagging by his ear, and by then, he might have the temper of an old man, just like the old master. He would scold her for being long-winded, and Xu Moyan would stubbornly continue to nag his ear off.

They would spend all their days just like that, indulging in a mundane peacefulness.

“I’m too impatient to dry it completely, but that’s because I know you’re here. I really like how you care for me, nagging me as you dry my hair.” Wei Zilin raised his head, smiling so warmly and tenderly under the warm lighting.

The warm lamplight fell on his face, but she was slightly in the way, leaving a faint shadow on his face. His features were hidden in the light and darkness, breathtakingly handsome.

Suddenly, she could not bring herself to complain anymore.

Xu Moyan did not say anything anymore, drying his hair quietly. Her soft fingers massaged his scalp at the same time, smoothing out his hair. Ever since Wei Zilin said that, the corners of her mouth had been curving upward.

Wei Zilin was waiting for Xu Moyan to say something, but even after a long while, he did not hear anything in response. It left him slightly disappointed.

Lowering his gaze and turning on his phone, he had just turned on Weibo when he heard Xu Moyan say, “I’ll dry your hair like this for the rest of our lives, so it’s fine if you never dry yours.”

Wei Zilin’s long finger paused on the screen, and the corners of his mouth curved. The warm sun seemed to rise in his eyes, and when he raised his head, the lamplight reflected in his eyes seemed to make them glow.

“That’s a promise.” Wei Zilin held the hand that was massaging his scalp, his voice warm and hoarse, filled with a deep laziness and an even deeper love.

“Promise,” Xu Moyan said, nodding her head.

Wei Zilin lowered his head and shared Xu Moyan’s earlier Weibo post. “The beginner is doing quite well already.”

“An extra dose of diabetes every day and enough PDAs to blind me for life.”

“Diabetes makes up 100% of my daily diet now.”

“Yo, have you had your daily dose of diabetes yet?”

Xu Moyan peeked at the comments under Wei Zilin’s post and could not help but laugh.

Once she was done drying his hair, Xu Moyan put the hairdryer back. Returning to the bed, she cuddled in Wei Zilin’s embrace and found a comfortable position. She was just about to pick up her phone for a scroll when he took it out of her hands.

“It’s getting late, so don’t play with your phone anymore,” Wei Zilin said, turning around and pinning him down.

Xu Moyan, “…”

It was only nine.

Wei Zilin kissed her without giving her the chance to say anything else. It was a long time before Xu Moyan could turn her head and gasp for air. “We’re in Grandfather’s house.”

“Yeah.” As she turned her head, Wei Zilin followed her with kisses all the way to her neck, tickling her until she shook. “That’s why you gotta be quiet. Although we’re a floor apart, the soundproofing here isn’t the best.”

Xu Moyan, “…”

“Pervert! Could you just not for one night?” Xu Moyan said crossly.

She had no idea how long this man had kept his thing to himself before he met her. Even after they got together, he had to hold back for a long time. Now that they had finally broken past that wall, it felt like he lost control of his brakes altogether. He had not let her sleep properly for a single night since.

“I can’t,” Wei Zilin murmured before silencing Xu Moyan’s protesting lips.

…

Xu Moyan lay in bed, covered in sweat. It was so hot that she had tossed her covers aside, but she did not want to go bathe.

Perhaps it was because the change of location provided some extra excitement, but Wei Zilin fancied that his stamina was not as good as it usually was.

Thankfully the weather was quite cooling right now, so the sweat dried off in a short while, and they were left feeling cool and comfortable again.

Something occurred to Xu Moyan, and she turned around to sprawl on her stomach, so it was easier for her to ask Wei Zilin. “When was the last time you did the deed before you met me?”

Wei Zilin paused for a moment, and it actually took him a long time to understand Xu Moyan’s question. After a little more time, he finally understood and began to chuckle.

Doing the deed… What a strange choice of words.

“My needs aren’t that pressing. On the rare occasion that I desire it, I just settle it myself.” Wei Zilin held out his hand and bent his fingers at her.

Xu Moyan clearly did not believe him. “Your needs aren’t pressing? Really?”

Wei Zilin burst out laughing, reaching out his arm to pull Xu Moyan into his embrace and hugging her tightly. “It’s only because my partner is you that I end up desiring so many… hmm… eventful nights. I mean it! If it wasn’t for you, I really wouldn’t be all that interested. It’s perfectly normal for men to have such needs, but I’d just handle it myself, because I just can’t imagine myself looking for a random woman to satisfy those needs.”
