When he woke up, it was already dark outside the window. Cheng Ye lay on the bed for a while, touched his hungry stomach, slowly got up and got out of bed, intending to go out to find something to eat.
The villa was very quiet. There were no servants around, but Cen Xia wasn't there either. On the wall of the living room hung a huge cross-stitch of pine, bamboo, and plum, which was actually an embroidered electronic watch.
It was already past seven o'clock, no wonder he was hungry. He had eaten some biscuits at noon, but he didn't expect that it would be afternoon when he slept. His stomach was rumbling in protest. Cheng Ye looked around and found that there was no one in the kitchen. Could it be that his family didn't eat dinner?
At this moment, there was a sudden sound in the living room, and Cheng Ye subconsciously turned his head to look.
The tall man took off his suit jacket, put it on his arm, and put his hands on the cabinet to change his shoes. His tight shirt outlined his strong muscles, and he looked in great shape. In short, his figure was better than Cheng Ye's!
Cheng Ye was stunned. He smiled but said hello awkwardly: "Brother Qin, you're back?"
He avoided Qin Su's gaze and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Qin Su has deep facial features, especially his eyes, which are as sharp as an eagle's, and he looks at people with hooks.
He walked in and casually hung his clothes on the hanger. Looking at the young man in front of him, he lowered his head and rubbed his fingers awkwardly, obviously wanting to leave as soon as possible but not daring to. Suddenly, the image of him smiling in the restaurant that day and his red lips curved flashed through his mind. His heart moved slightly and his throat tightened. He reached out and tugged at the tie that was making him a little breathless. He took a breath and suppressed the inexplicable throbbing in his heart: "Is he here?"
"Yeah." Cheng Ye nodded in a small voice, like a little rabbit whose territory was suddenly invaded, shrinking back and not daring to run away. Qin Su felt an indescribable complex emotion surging in his heart.
He is afraid of himself. Why should he be afraid of himself? He shouldn't be afraid of himself.
Qin Su was startled, his sharp gaze slowly becoming gentle and soft, but he had never made such an expression before, and it was very stiff. After trying for a while but not finding that the young man's fear of him had lessened, he finally gave up and said, "You were in the kitchen just now? Are you hungry? This kitchen is where my mother practiced. The real cooking is in the villa at the back." After saying that, he looked up at the cross-stitch and said, "I called her before I came back. Dinner should be ready soon. If you're hungry, check the refrigerator."
"No, thanks. We'll have dinner soon anyway." Cheng Ye waved his hands repeatedly and even took a step back because of Qin Su's approach.
Qin Su froze in place, and Cheng Ye was even more embarrassed, not knowing what to say. He turned around and went to the kitchen. When he opened the refrigerator, he saw it was full of desserts, croissants, snow skin moon cakes, cup cakes, and even sago. His mouth was watering immediately.
The cranberry cookies are golden yellow, with deep red embedded inside like petals. They are placed in a transparent glass bottle tied with a pink ribbon, which looks very beautiful.
Cheng Ye opened the cork, and the aroma of butter mixed with milk lingered in his nose. He took a deep breath, hurriedly took out one and took a bite. The texture was hard and chewy, and it seemed that peanut powder was added. The more he chewed, the more fragrant it became, and his mouth kept secreting saliva.
Qin Su saw that his lips were slightly open, revealing only a small part of the tip of his tongue, but it was very dexterous, which made Qin Su feel a little hungry, but mostly thirsty. His Adam's apple rolled up and down a little, and he swallowed his saliva.
"Brother Qin!" Qin Su felt as if he was being burned by fire and was very uncomfortable. It might be because he had not washed his face after coming back. He turned around and was about to go to the bathroom, but was stopped and turned around abruptly.
Cheng Ye was startled and thought that a leopard that had been hungry for three days had escaped from the zoo.
Qin Su pressed the ends of his nose, obviously feeling that he had overreacted. He slowly narrowed his eyes, retracting the sharpness in them: "What's wrong?"
Cheng Ye hugged the glass jar, a bit like a koala hugging a tree. His tangled expression was adorable. Qin Su could even imagine the soft touch of Cheng Ye's body...
"I haven't told anyone about Xiaobai's matter except my brother and you." Cheng Ye bit his lower lip, suddenly raised his face and pleaded, "Aunt Cen asked me today why I was injured. I think I should not tell her." Even if he is not a biological child, he has raised him for so many years after all, and the feelings are still there.
If they were to fall out now, it would be hard to say which side Cen Xia would really be on.
Cheng Ye also had his considerations in mind. There had been no movement for such a long time, and it was most likely that Qin Su had suppressed the temptation. Whether he had a good impression of Su Bairui, or he considered Cen Xia or other reasons, there was no doubt that he did not touch Su Bairui.
She is indeed a white lotus in the prosperous age, but he has plenty of time anyway, so he can just waste it slowly.
Bai Lianhua likes Qin Su, and Qin Su is his ultimate goal. Cheng Ye, on the other hand, has no desires or demands, is good-looking and has a wealthy family. Most importantly, he has a brother who considers him in every way and is unwilling to let him endure any grievance.
The world is so beautiful, he is not in a hurry.
Speaking of Su Bairui, Qin Su frowned slightly: "I'm still investigating that matter. After all, Bai Rui, Su Bairui is also funded by our Qin family..."
"It's okay, no need to investigate. Let's just put this matter behind us." Cheng Ye waved his hand nonchalantly. "Brother Qin, don't listen to my brother's exaggeration. I just think our marriage was originally a commercial one. Although I don't quite understand it, I also know that the alliance between the Cheng and Qin families is now unbreakable. Both sides have given each other enough face and a way out. It's not impossible to cancel this engagement early."
He took another bite of the biscuit, his bright red tongue moving in and out, the smile on his delicate face so sweet and captivating, it was the first time Qin Su felt that desserts could be so tempting.
Cheng Ye, who was given the "sweet and fragrant, I want to take a bite" buff, turned into a sweet cookie. He ignored Qin Su's rolling Adam's apple and said openly: "My brother mentioned something about shares and profits. Brother Qin, don't take it to heart. Just follow the contract."
His every move exuded an alluring sweetness. Qin Su's nostrils twitched as he unconsciously took two steps forward. The moment he raised his foot, he realized that he actually wanted to offend this child. His brain was like being hit by a hammer and he woke up instantly, his mind still trembling.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down, then concentrated on what Cheng Ye had just said. When he thought of it, his expression changed again.
It was indeed just a business marriage, but Cheng Ye's indifferent expression was like a sharp knife stabbing Qin Su's heart, drawing blood.
An inexplicable anger surged in his heart, and his head was about to smoke. He never thought that he would be so out of control. It was as if, as if the person in front of him could only belong to him, but he didn't care about their relationship at all!
Qin Su was getting ruthless without realizing it. Cheng Ye was startled again when he suddenly met his gaze. His eyes flickered and he took two steps back and even touched the scar on his forehead.
Damn it!
Did he think that he would be like Su Bairui and hurt him just because he wanted to cancel the engagement?
Qin Su's deep eyes flashed with coldness, and he turned sideways to hide all the emotions in his eyes: "No, you misunderstood. Su Bairui is just an ordinary child sponsored by my mother. The reason why I haven't come clean yet is because-"
The child is so weak and kind, and he wants to please his mother, so I really don't know how to start.
Are you going to go up to me and say: Do you have a crush on me? I don’t like you, get out!
No matter how you think about it, it's perverted.
"No, no, no, I don't mean to question Brother Qin." Cheng Ye said as he pushed back cautiously, and even raised one hand to protect his head in broad daylight, and shook his head hurriedly to indicate that he had no ill intentions. Don't hurt me, I'm just a weak and innocent participant.
"You guys can discuss yourselves. I'm just stating my stance. We can cancel the engagement, and we can let go of the incident of Xiaobai accidentally pushing us down the stairs. As for my brother, don't worry, Brother Qin. My brother is not an unreasonable person..." He carefully looked at Qin Su's face and said firmly, "As long as Brother Qin nods, we will cancel the engagement immediately!"
His brother is not an unreasonable person, so could it be that he is the one?
Qin Su's eyes twitched violently, but - pushing a good friend down the stairs did seem a bit unreasonable. In Cheng Ye's mind, he should be in the same group with Su Bairui.
Qin Su's eyes darkened, and he opened his mouth to explain, but Cheng Ye didn't give him the chance and quickly ran to the door: "I seem to hear the sound of rollers. It must be Mother Cen." After that, he ran to the door as if he was escaping for his life and pulled open the door of the villa.
The cold wind blew, and Cheng Ye, who was wearing thin clothes, shivered violently. It was dark outside and there was no sound at all, but Cheng Ye was unwilling to come in. It seemed that Qin Su was a monster and it was dangerous to just look at him.
