The cell phone suddenly rang in the silence. Ye Chu, who had been holding her breath to listen to the noise next door, was

so frightened that she jumped up. Her heart was pounding.

She covered her heart and looked at the phone. After seeing the caller ID, her heartbeat, which had not yet calmed down, started to rise again.

Ye Chu got up almost instinctively, forgetting to put on slippers. She ran out of the room and turned around and pushed open the door of the master bedroom.

"Does your arm hurt?" Her face was full of anxiety. As soon as she entered the master bedroom, her eyes were fixed on Xiao Beichen.

Xiao Beichen was sitting on the edge of the bed, still holding the phone to his ear.

Ye Chu didn't have time to see what position he was in. He ran to the bed and sat beside him on the edge of the bed. He stretched out his hand and pulled off the sleeve of his nightgown. The series of movements were smooth and flowing.

The man's bruised and purple arms appeared in front of him again. A closer look showed that the swelling seemed to have subsided. Ye Chu breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately raised his eyes to look at him nervously, "Does it hurt?"

The man looked to the side and lowered his eyes. She looked up at his deep eyes.

The woman's eyes were clear and without any impurities. The concern and anxiety in her eyes all came from the depths of her soul.

Originally, the seaside villa was where the two had been staying for three years. Tonight they were living under the same roof. Xiao Beichen had long been impatient.

Even if Li Moqian hadn't said those words to him just now, Xiao Beichen didn't plan to be alone tonight.

Originally, when he called her, he was thinking that he would have to say a few more words to coax her over. Now, as soon as he made the call, she automatically "sent" over.

If he can still endure it, where is justice?

So -

the wind swept the remaining clouds, and the room was full of ripples.

...

Late at night.

Ye Chu sat on the edge of the bed in a clean white nightgown, and her pale hands carefully and gently put the man's injured hand into the sleeve of his nightgown.

Her soft cheeks were still red after the rain, and unexpectedly she did not deliberately hide it.

Xiao Beichen's usually cold and distant face was full of doting and tenderness at this moment. He sat quietly beside her, staring at her every move.

Counting, it has been many days since the last time in Mingzhu Apartment. He has needs and she has them too. It is impossible for her to pretend that she doesn't need them.

So, at this time, she can only accept it calmly.

Xiao Beichen was in a good mood and asked her, "Don't you want me to get engaged?"

Ye Chu's movements were fleeting. While tying the belt of his nightgown, she answered, "No."

Xiao Beichen put his arms around her waist and she leaned obediently on his shoulder.

Xiao Beichen raised his lips slightly and said seriously, "Are you angry? Jealous when you know I'm engaged?"

Ye Chu shook her head lightly and didn't want to say anything, but she knew very well that it was rare for him to take the initiative to speak. She wanted to evade the question but she really didn't know what to say.

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, the man's good mood was gone, but he didn't get angry, but kept thinking.

In fact, Li Moqian's words successfully made Xiao Beichen make a decision.

Engagement is indeed more harmful than beneficial. The fact that Ye Chu avoided him was enough to make him upset.

However, even if he cancels the engagement with Fang Mengqing, Grandpa will still arrange the next marriage partner.

Grandpa has cultivated him since he was a child, and now

he is seriously ill... he can't just ignore it after all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Beichen, who is in charge of the overall planning, can't help but feel annoyed, but he will not let Ye Chu go.

"You move back." After a pause, he added: "The engagement party hasn't been held yet."

Ye Chu smiled silently, meaning that before the engagement party is held, she doesn't need to have psychological pressure, everything is still the same as before.

Xiao Beichen lowered his eyes and looked at the woman who was as quiet as a kitten on his shoulder. For the first time, he felt worried.

Ye Chu was more worried than him, and his heart was in a mess.

I really don't want to leave him, but the gap between the two of us is simply an unbridgeable chasm. Whenever I think of this, my heart aches.

You also have to give yourself some time to buffer...

Lin Zhi's words suddenly echoed in my mind.

Ye Chu finally found an excuse for himself again. His aching heart relaxed unwillingly, and he couldn't help but say, "I'll move out when your hand is healed."

His shoulders were hugged tighter.

He was happy.

Ye Chu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and all the haze during this period of time instantly dissipated.

"I stay here for your hand." Ye Chu came out of his arms, sat up straight, and looked into his eyes.

The man raised his eyebrows slightly. Is this making conditions with him?

"Okay?" Ye Chu asked again.

The man suddenly laughed, and his tone was even joking: "If you can bear it, of course I can too."

Ye Chu: Embarrassed!

He quickly stood up and walked out the door. When he closed the door, he saw the man's meaningful expression and couldn't help but glared at him in shame. He

decisively ran back to the guest room.
