"It's still uncomfortable," Wei Zhaoye added casually, before getting out of bed looking radiant.

Bi Xie's face turned red with anger. In her heart, she secretly scolded Wei Zhaoye, calling him a hypocrite who got the benefits and then acted innocent!

Wei Zhaoye looked at the petite girl who only reached his shoulder, his eyes darkening slightly. "Xiao Xie, last night you kept pestering me, saying I felt cool. You should be glad I have enough self-control, otherwise you would have done more than just take off your clothes."

After a long while, Bi Xie's fair and delicate face flushed red. He cursed the old rogue in his heart and turned around, running downstairs.

Inside the room, the noble and alluring man slightly curled the corners of his lips, his dark eyes faintly turning blood-red before slowly returning to calm.

"Xiao Xie, you'll be mine sooner or later."

Breakfast at home was simple. Bi Xie thought Wei Zhaoye wouldn't be used to it, but the man peeled the eggs quite smoothly and handed them to her naturally after he finished.

Bi Xie had a headache, chuckled twice, and handed the peeled egg in his hand to his grandmother, "Grandma, you eat."

The old woman beamed with joy: "No need, Grandma will peel it herself, you eat it."

Bi Xie's face flushed slightly, and he could only finish the egg in front of the two of them.

Wei Zhaoye raised the corners of his lips, his dark and gloomy eyes softened a little, and he picked up some pickled vegetables and put them into Bi Xie's bowl.

Bi Xie glared at him, signaling him to behave himself.

But Wei Zhaoye seemed not to notice. He didn't eat much himself, but kept serving Bi Xie food and porridge, as if he would be very satisfied if he saw her eat the food he served her.

The old lady's mouth was practically stretched to her ears as she watched this scene.

Around noon, Grandpa returned from selling vegetables outside, looking rather pale. When Bi Xie went inside to charge his electric tricycle, he noticed the old man's hesitant expression.

Bi Xie wasn't good at keeping things to herself, especially in front of her family. After plugging in the electricity, she ran out to ask her grandfather if something unpleasant had happened while she was selling vegetables.

The old man hesitated for a moment, then pulled her to the back door. After glancing inside, he said seriously, "Xiao Xie, tell Grandpa, what is your relationship with that Chairman Wei? Are you short of money and have gone astray?"

Bi Xie immediately understood.

Rumors spread like wildfire in the village; something must have reached the old man's ears.

Bi Xie said earnestly, "Grandpa, do you believe them or your granddaughter? I earned my university tuition by tutoring. As for Young Master Wei, he likes me, but I haven't agreed to be with him yet."

The old man looked at his granddaughter, who was kicking pebbles with her head down, and relaxed a little, but still stared at Bi Xie seriously: "Xiao Xie, you're an adult now. Grandpa doesn't object to you dating, but you're still young and easily deceived. That young man is so good-looking. Grandpa has never seen such a good-looking person in his life. Don't be fooled by a person's appearance. What's important is their character."

Bi Xie didn't know where the old man had learned the word "flashy" from, and he burst out laughing.

"I know, Grandpa. It's not easy for me to pursue your granddaughter, and besides, I'm not bad-looking either!" Bi Xie smiled and winked. "Alright, Grandpa, let's go inside. Don't pay attention to the gossip in the village. I know what I'm doing."

The old man knew that his granddaughter had always been well-behaved and sensible, so he was relieved. As he walked into the house, he quietly asked Bi Xie when Wei Zhaoye was planning to leave.
