"Ye Nanqing! I told you to let me go, didn't you hear me?!"

Ji Fuling roared, her little face flushed, struggling and writhing in Ye Nanqing's arms.

Ye Nanqing's dark eyes, filled with affection, were incredibly deep. He lowered his head and placed a kiss on her neck, his low, husky voice slowly escaping, "Be good, don't move around, or I can't guarantee what might happen."

Sensing the underlying threat in his words, and knowing full well that she was no match for him, Ji Fuling had no choice but to obey and remain still.

She pursed her lips and said in a conciliatory tone, "I don't want to talk to you anymore. Get up, I'm going back."

"It's too late, it's not safe to go back now. I don't mind if you stay the night."

Knowing that she still couldn't accept it, Ye Nanqing didn't force her.

As he spoke, he restrained himself from getting off her, and as he lay down on the bed, he naturally pulled her into his arms.

Ji Fuling: "???"

What do you mean by not minding her staying overnight?

Why didn't this man ask her if she minded?

Besides, it's actually more unsafe to stay by his side, who knows when he might do something reckless!

After muttering a few angry grumbles to herself, Ji Fuling looked up and glared at the man in front of her, only to find that he had already closed his eyes on his own.

The soft light of the night lamp cast shadows on his face, making his handsome features appear even more defined.

The pleasing scene made Ji Fuling momentarily dazed.

Sensing her gaze, Ye Nanqing suddenly opened his eyes, his meaningful gaze landing on her face. "If you're not going to sleep, then let's do something else?"

Ji Fuling: "!!!"

"Who said I wasn't going to sleep? I'm going to sleep now. You have so many rooms here, I'll go..."

As she spoke, she tried to sit up, but before she could finish, the man pressed her back down, and the hands around her waist tightened suddenly.

His deep, magnetic voice then rang in my ears, "There are no other rooms, only this one. If you want to sleep, then sleep quietly, otherwise..."

"Stop talking!"

Ji Fuling knew what he was going to say, so she immediately reached out and covered his mouth to stop him from saying it.

Seeing her somewhat agitated state, Ye Nanqing's deep black eyes revealed a faint smile.

Then, he took her hand in his and kissed her forehead. "Sleep."

Ji Fuling breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes without replying, her feelings somewhat complicated.

She came here with a fierce attitude to denounce him, but not only did he kiss her all over, he also tricked her into bed.

That's so embarrassing.

However, when she heard him say, "There are no other women, only you," she felt a strange sweetness in her heart...

Whether it was from being too busy and tired at work today, or from the warmth of the man's embrace, Ji Fuling drifted off to sleep after a short while.

In the dim light, Ye Nanqing pulled her closer, finding the feel of her arms to be wonderful.

As she breathed evenly, he slowly closed his eyes.

A room filled with warmth and tranquility...

Early the next morning.

Madam Ye, accompanied by another housekeeper from the Ye family, Aunt Lan, came to the villa on the Emperor's side to find Ye Nanqing.

She knew the password to the smart lock on the front door, so she opened the door and went inside.

Not seeing Ye Nanqing downstairs, Old Madam Ye was somewhat suspicious. "That's strange. Nanqing should usually be up by now. Why haven't I seen him? Could he have already gone to the company?"

Qiao Yu'er went to my house a couple of days ago, saying that she was being neglected by Nan Qing and felt very wronged, so she asked me to help her get them back together.

She came here today to sound out her son's feelings and see what he really thought about Qiao Yu'er.

Aunt Lan smiled and said, "Madam, Third Master's car is still in the yard. He probably hasn't left yet, and he's probably still in bed."

"Then you take the food to the restaurant first, and I'll go upstairs to check."

After saying that, Madam Ye turned and went upstairs.

Upon arriving at the master bedroom door, she found it ajar. Feeling a bit strange, Madam Ye pushed the door open.

"call out--"

A very faint sound.

But the two people who were sleeping in the bed woke up at the same time because of this sound.

Madam Ye blinked, looking at the scene before her in disbelief.

Oh my god!

Her son, who had always been averse to being near women, actually slept with one!

Judging from how tightly the two were hugging, you can imagine what happened last night.

Thinking that she would soon be able to hold her grandson, Old Madam Ye couldn't help but feel excited, and a smile appeared on her face.

Ji Fuling opened her eyes groggily and saw Old Madam Ye standing at the door with a smile on her face. She suddenly remembered that this was Ye Nanqing's room.

In an instant, all her remaining sleepiness vanished.

"Night, Grandma Night..."

After stammering out her words, Ji Fuling realized that she was still being held in Ye Nanqing's arms.

She quickly turned her head, glared at the man who was clearly awake but acted as if nothing had happened, and gritted her teeth, whispering, "Let me go right now!"

Seeing her flustered and embarrassed appearance, Ye Nanqing turned to his mother and said quietly, "Mom, if you keep standing there watching, I'll feel embarrassed too."

"I understand, I understand. I'll go downstairs first. You guys take your time, no rush."

After speaking with a smile, Madam Ye gave the two of them a meaningful look before turning and walking downstairs.

Ji Fuling blushed deeply, sat up in annoyance, and shoved Ye Nanqing away, "It's all your fault! Why didn't you close the door properly?!"

Last time it was Mu Xinghe, this time it's Old Madam Ye.

It's so frustrating to be caught every time.

Ye Nanqing gave her a deep look and said slowly, "I was too busy last night and didn't have time to close it."

Ji Fuling: "..."

Thinking about last night made her even angrier.

She was so dizzy from the kiss that she had no idea how he carried her back to the room...

"Get up and wash up, then go downstairs to have breakfast with the old lady."

As Ye Nanqing spoke, he threw off the covers and got out of bed.

Seeing that he looked perfectly normal, as if nothing had happened, Ji Fuling was speechless. She frowned and said, "What should we do? Grandma Ye must have misunderstood."

"Misunderstand?"

Ye Nanqing stood by the bed, looking down at her with a playful tone, "What misunderstanding?"

"It's...it's just..."

Ji Fuling hesitated for a moment, then said, "Oh, it's about our relationship!"

Ye Nanqing chuckled, a half-smile playing on his lips, "She didn't misunderstand, it's exactly what she thought."

Ji Fuling: "..."

Ye Nanqing turned and walked to the large wardrobe next to him, took out a dark suit from it, and said slowly, "If we don't hurry down, the old lady might really misunderstand what we're doing."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuling's eyes widened suddenly, and she quickly got out of bed and ran into the bathroom.

Watching her dart away like a rabbit, Ye Nanqing's thin lips curled into an amused smile.
