Chapter 33: What to do? Can't do anything.

In the study, with no one else present, Mr. Ling sighed, "Weiwei, have you thought it through?"

He doesn't want to hear a man's promises. When love is in the air, he'll say anything, but over time, those promises might just be bullshit.

He has always been most worried about Weiwei.

In the past, he would have strongly opposed it.

But after this ordeal, he saw his daughter's resilience and strength, and he wanted to hear her true thoughts.

Ling Wei looked at her father with clear and firm eyes.

[Dad, Mom, I know you're worried. But please believe in me now. I know what I want, and I know how to protect myself. Being with him is a choice I've carefully considered. I'm capable of taking responsibility for my choices, and I have the confidence to live my life well. Please rest assured.]

Ling Wei walked out, leaving her mother and father behind.

Ling's father asked Ling's mother, "Are you very satisfied with that young man? Why haven't you said anything about it?"

Ling's mother smiled sweetly: "Because of your daughter's dog training skills..."

Ling's father: ? ? ?

Ling's mother didn't explain further, but she knew perfectly well what was going on.

Her own daughter was the one who was truly clear-headed and always in control in this relationship. She believed that her daughter had enough wisdom and ability to extricate herself when necessary.

When Ling Wei returned to her room, she was surprised to find that Ling Yang's expression towards You Xingye had softened considerably, although he was still a little awkward.

Seeing Ling Wei return, Ling Yang stood up. Before leaving, he made a point of reminding Ling Wei, "Keep the door open!"

This guest room is on the third floor, and it's the one on the very end. Next to it is Ling Wei's room, and next to that is Ling Yang's.

Every time they bumped into each other, it was his younger sister who took the initiative. Ling Yang subconsciously felt that the one who needed to be kept a close eye on was his own younger sister, who seemed calm but was quick to act!

Ling Wei walked to the bedside and tucked the blanket around You Xingye.

Yu Xingye's gaze remained fixed on her, like a big dog waiting to be petted by its owner.

Seeing his pleading look, Ling Wei instinctively reached out to kiss him to comfort him, but he dodged her.

Um?

You Xingye buried half his face in the blanket, somewhat embarrassed: "My uncle and aunt are here, I can't do anything reckless."

Huh? ? (ΩДΩ)

Why are you being so reserved all of a sudden? Didn't you just give it to me as a kiss?

Who is the kind of person who stays like a hungry wolf after starting a relationship?

The system laughed like a goose, "The one who caught fire is someone else."

Ling Wei: ......

Perhaps due to days of travel, emotional ups and downs, and a high fever, Yu Xingye, who was physically and mentally exhausted, quickly fell into a deep sleep and slept from morning until evening.

As dusk settled, a discreetly luxurious minivan, leading a fully loaded truck, came to a steady stop in front of the Ling family villa.

Yu Xingye's agent, Brother Liu, jumped out of the car, looking travel-worn, and rang the doorbell.

Ling Wei opened the door and saw him. Brother Liu pushed up his glasses and coughed lightly, "Ahem, Weiwei, sorry to bother you. Xingye asked me to bring something over." He stepped aside.

Several staff members in uniform were seen carefully unloading items from the truck.

One after another, beautifully packaged and valuable gifts were delivered into the Ling family's living room:

Top-quality cordyceps, bird's nest, wild ginseng, and other tonics were piled up like small mountains.

Several cases of top-quality wines that have been aged for many years.

Limited edition sets of scarves, jewelry, and skincare products from top international brands.

Boxes of rare fruits and top-quality ingredients.

There were even several antique paintings and calligraphy pieces that were quite valuable.

The gifts almost filled half of the living room, a dazzling array.

You Xingye had changed into the clean clothes Liu Ge had brought. Seeing the state of the living room, he said somewhat apologetically to Ling's parents, "Uncle and Aunt, I'm sorry, we came in such a rush and didn't prepare anything in advance. These are just a small token of our appreciation..."

Brother Liu quietly pulled You Xingye aside and asked in a low voice, "Xingye, are you going back to the hotel tonight?" He was worried about the artist's health and schedule.

You Xingye immediately frowned, put one hand to his forehead, swayed weakly, and said in a softer voice, "Brother Liu, I'm still a little dizzy..."

Seeing this, Ling's mother immediately said with concern, "Oh dear, your fever has only just subsided a little, don't make it harder for you. Just stay at home, the guest room is all ready!"

"Okay, thank you, Auntie."

You Xingye immediately agreed obediently, giving Ling Ma a pale yet grateful smile, looking as obedient as could be.

Brother Liu watched from the side, his lips twitching: "..."

Is this still the same Yuhoshino who seems easygoing but actually doesn't respect anyone and can be incredibly arrogant?

He'd truly witnessed the skill with which this guy feigned innocence and played the victim today.

After Ling's parents gave their approval, they naturally became even closer to You Xingye.

He was unusually well-behaved, refusing any of Ling Wei's advances, and became much more serious.

Ling Wei's hand, which was under the table, had just tentatively slid towards his thigh when a warm, large hand precisely covered it, firmly grasping her hand with a gentle yet unyielding strength.

On the table, he continued to talk to the elders with an air of composure, while under the table, he restrained her hands on her lap to prevent her from causing trouble.

This sudden abstinence is all the more exciting.

It was Ling Yang's occasional "headmaster's" gaze that made it impossible for Ling Wei to find a moment to be alone with You Xingye.

Before going to sleep, Ling Wei's fingers flew across the screen.

[Come to the Balcony]

After sending the message, she quietly pushed open the balcony door of her room.

The night breeze ruffled her pajamas as Ling Wei stood on the edge of the balcony, a hint of eagerness in her eyes.

The balcony door opposite opened with a click, and Yu Xingye, who came out, recognized Ling Wei's position. "Weiwei!!"

His voice was extremely low but filled with barely concealed panic, "Watch out! Get down quickly!"

He instinctively stretched out his arms, wishing he could immediately pull her into a safe embrace.

Ling Wei shook her head, signaling him to step back and give her some space.

Thirty centimeters is just a step away on flat ground.

But at this moment, the ground beneath our feet is three stories high, and the night wind whistles in our ears, adding to the thrill.

Across from him, Yu Hoshino was also wearing loose pajamas, looking like he had just taken a shower, his hair still damp.

He nervously opened his arms, his eyes filled with worry, ready to catch her at any moment.

Ling Wei leaped up and landed steadily in his strong and broad embrace.

The man smelled of the same bath gel as her, and the warmth emanated from him, soothing her slightly cool skin.

Seeing Ling Wei barefoot on the cold floor tiles, You Xingye frowned slightly, bent down, supported her knees with one hand, and easily lifted her up, letting her sit in his arms like a child.

"It was too dangerous! How could we have come from here?" Yu Xingye's voice was hoarse with lingering fear.

Ling Wei didn't answer, but instead pressed her cheek against his forehead, nuzzling him affectionately, and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, silently urging him to go inside quickly.

System: "A lone man and woman alone in the middle of the night, you???"

Ling Wei: 【。】

Now that my enemy is defeated, I really want to do something to celebrate.

System: "...Um, my older cousin is in postpartum confinement, I'll go check on him!"

Feeling a wisp of consciousness leave her mind, Ling Wei was satisfied and knew what was good for her.

You Xingye carefully placed her on the edge of the bed, then knelt down on one knee and put his slippers on her feet.

Ling Wei looked down at his focused eyes and reached out to lift his chin. The man obediently looked up, his eyes clearly reflecting her image.

Ling Wei leaned closer.

He turned his head slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, his voice hoarse and restrained from his illness: "No... I just recovered from my fever, I'm afraid I'll pass the illness on to you."

You kissed this morning, why are you bringing this up now?

Ignoring everything else, she forcefully turned his head and kissed him without giving him a chance to refuse.

Yu Xingye was forced to raise his head, his thick eyelashes drooping, as he endured the domineering kiss from his beloved.

He let out a barely audible sigh, then gave up resisting, welcoming her breath with an almost sacrificial gesture.

The dim light outlined the graceful lines of his upturned neck, both delicate and sexy.

It began with a gentle caress of their lips, followed by his warm response. The breaths that had been suppressed all night mingled together, and the hand on the edge of the bed tightened quietly, revealing the turmoil in their hearts.

After a long while, the kiss finally ended.

Their breaths mingled together.

A hazy, watery light welled up in Ling Wei's eyes as she watched the man slowly stand up, a secret expectation in her eyes.

Then, he bent down and scooped her up in his arms—

Ling Wei's heart raced slightly, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

However, he simply held her steadily, walked a few steps to the door, gently opened the door, and placed her... in the doorway of her own room in the hallway.

Ling Wei: ? ? ? ?

You Xingye placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, then affectionately nuzzled the top of her soft, fragrant hair: "Goodnight."

Seeing the girl's wide, incredulous eyes, a helpless smile lingered in his eyes. He gently brushed his fingertips across her slightly swollen lips and whispered with restrained tenderness:

"Baby, you can't do whatever you want in your own home."

After saying that, he went back into the house and closed the door without looking back.

Ling Wei: ……

Who is this chaste and virtuous man?! Get out of my boyfriend's body!!

Undeterred, she raised her fingertips as if to knock on the door—

The door to the next room opened a crack without warning, and Ling Yang's head popped out, his eyes sharp as searchlights. "What are you doing? Why aren't you sleeping at night? Are you sleepwalking? Go back to your room!"

Ling Wei: ……

The door had barely closed when the system seamlessly returned, quite strangely: "That's it?!"

That's a bit fast, I feel sorry for you.
