After Zuo Yiming returned to the room, Ye Nanqing raised his hand and grabbed Ji Fuling's chin, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze. His deep voice pressed her again, "Tell me, who is he?"

"Let me go!"

Ji Fuling struggled in his arms, about to make a move, but he easily restrained her hands.

Then I heard his domineering and forceful words, "I won't let you go until you tell me."

Seeing that he kept asking, Ji Fuling suddenly realized something, paused in her struggle, and pursed her lips, saying, "Don't tell me that you came here in the middle of the night and called me out just to ask this?"

"yes."

Ye Nanqing admitted it directly.

Ji Fuling: "..."

"Um?"

The man's voice rose at the end, carrying a hint of urging.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Ji Fuling had no choice but to tell the truth, "He is my elder brother's assistant. My elder brother sent him to Yuncheng."

assistant?

No wonder that man was so respectful when he spoke to her earlier.

Although he had confirmed that there was nothing between Zuo Yiming and Ji Fuling, Ye Nanqing's slightly furrowed brows did not relax. "Your older brother? Where did you get an older brother?"

"Also, you're the second child in the Ji family, so why do they all call you the Third Miss?"

Ji Fuling: "..."

This man has so many problems.

It reminded her of the scene when he interrogated her on the first day they met.

There was a strong sense of oppression...

Tell me, I want to know.

Ye Nanqing turned her around so she was facing him, his deep black eyes fixed on hers, not letting her look away.

Ji Fuling knew that if she didn't tell, Ye Nanqing would definitely not give up.

After thinking for a moment, she said succinctly, "I used to live with a family abroad. There was a brother and sister in the family who were a few years older than me. They treated me like their own sister, and I treated them like their own brother and sister. So Aunt Ding and Zuo Yiming called me Third Miss."

Ye Nanqing was fairly satisfied with this answer.

He didn't care as long as the man wasn't someone with ulterior motives towards her.

In other words, he minded any man who coveted her.

"Are you done asking? I'm going back to rest now. Goodbye."

After saying that, Ji Fuling pulled Ye Nanqing's hand off her shoulder and turned to walk into the house.

Seeing her walking quickly, as if he were a jackal or a tiger, and as if she wanted to shake him off immediately, a hint of interest flashed in Ye Nanqing's eyes, and he followed her.

Chen Heng sat in the car, secretly watching the drama unfold with a gossipy expression.

Upon seeing this scene, he stroked his chin thoughtfully.

The fact that Mr. Ye is following Miss Ji so closely makes him look a bit like those clingy little puppies that people talk about online.

Oh no, Mr. Ye is not young anymore, he's already twenty-eight, he should be a big, cute puppy!

Standing at the door, Ji Fuling unlocked the door with her fingerprint, entered the house, and then turned to close it.

Just as the door was about to close, a large hand suddenly reached out and gripped the door frame tightly.

At the same time, a tall figure flashed in.

Ji Fuling looked up at the man in front of her, her expression somewhat speechless. "What are you doing here?"

"What? You're not welcoming me?"

Ye Nanqing turned around and pinned Ji Fuling against the wall. He wrapped his large hand around her waist and whispered intimately in her ear, "Other men can stay here, but I can't?"

Caught off guard by his aura, Ji Fuling's heart suddenly raced.

Just as she was about to push him away, a series of "thump thump thump" footsteps suddenly came from behind her.

Immediately afterwards, little Ji Tiantian, who had just finished taking a bath and was wearing a Peppa Pig onesie, appeared in front of the two of them.

She grabbed Ye Nanqing's trouser leg with her little hand, looked up at him with eyes full of surprise, and asked, "Handsome Uncle, what are you doing here? Did you come to play with Mommy and Sweetie?"

"But it's so late, we need to go to sleep. Handsome uncle, do you want to sleep with us?"

Ji Fuling: "..."

very good!

This little girl needs to be disciplined again!

She was going to confiscate all Peppa Pig-related merchandise and teach the little girl a lesson!

Just as Ji Fuling was thinking about how to educate Ji Tiantian, Ye Nanqing parted his thin lips and slowly uttered a single word, "Okay."

Ji Fuling: "!!!"

What's so good about it?!

The child was just talking nonsense out of ignorance, and this man actually joined in the rubbish!

"Handsome uncle, let's go, I'll take you to your room."

Ji Tiantian shook her little hand, which was holding Ye Nanqing's trouser leg, her soft, sweet voice full of enthusiasm.

Unable to bear it any longer, Ji Fuling immediately raised her voice and said, "Aunt Ding, take this little girl away from me right now!!"

Aunt Ding rushed over upon hearing the news. Upon seeing the situation, she immediately picked up the little girl, tucked her under her arm, and forcibly took her away.

Ji Tiantian, who was being restrained, twisted and struggled, "No, no, put me down, I want to sleep with the handsome uncle..."

Hearing the commotion, Ji Zihan and Ji Zimo ran out with helpless expressions and helped Aunt Ding take their younger sister back to her room.

Ji Fuling breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the troublemaker being taken away.

She then bent down, slipped under Ye Nanqing's arm, and pushed him towards the door, saying, "It's late, you should go now, I need to go upstairs to rest."

Ye Nanqing looked at her meaningfully, "A sweet suggestion..."

"No way! Don't even think about it!"

Ji Fuling knew what he was going to say, so she interrupted him directly and snorted, "Go back and reflect on your actions."

Ye Nanqing was pushed to the doorway, where he stood motionless. He parted his thin lips and asked softly, "Reflect on what?"

In his twenty-eight years of life, this was the first time someone had dared to talk to him about self-reflection.

If it were anyone else, he would definitely make them regret saying those words.

"You're still asking? You just beat Zuo Yiming up like that without saying a word..."

"He struck first."

Ji Fuling was interrupted by Ye Nanqing halfway through her sentence.

If she hadn't stopped him, would that guy surnamed Zuo still be alive?

Ji Fuling: "..."

Thinking back carefully, it seems that Zuo Yiming did indeed strike first.

but……

She pursed her lips and argued, "That's because he saw you grabbing me and thought you were going to harm me, so he attacked you."

Ye Nanqing gave a cold snort, his deep voice revealing a hint of coldness, "He attacked, I defended myself, what's the problem?"

"..."

Ji Fuling was speechless for a moment.

If Zhao Ye Nanqing says so, then it does seem to make sense.

So, Zuo Yiming deserved to be beaten so badly?

Feeling her IQ suddenly drop, Ji Fuling decided to stop arguing about the topic and changed her tune, saying, "Okay, then you don't need to reflect on it anymore. Go back and get some rest, okay?"

As she spoke, she increased the pressure on her hands and shoved Ye Nanqing hard.

Ye Nanqing stood firm and unmoved like a mountain.

He glanced down at the woman whose cheeks were slightly flushed from straining, and chuckled softly, "Say goodnight to me."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuling's pushing motion suddenly froze.

Did she hear that right?

She looked up, somewhat uncertainly and hesitantly saying, "...Goodnight?"

"Good night."

The tender words spilled from her thin lips, and Ye Nanqing lowered his head to place a kiss on her smooth forehead.

Ji Fuling was stunned for a moment. By the time she came to her senses, the man had already turned and left, striding towards the car parked outside the door.

The moonlight cast a long, thin shadow over him.

Ji Fuling raised her hand and touched her forehead where Ye Nanqing had kissed her, belatedly realizing—

This man stole a kiss from her again!
