Ye Minghan was watching the TV program, but his face was obviously absent-minded, and his attention was more on Chi Rui.
The girl nestled in his arms defenselessly, occasionally reaching out to feed him a piece of potato chips. Her movements were skillful and intimate, and he felt as if he had returned to his childhood.
Only now, they were no longer children, and his feelings for her had changed dramatically.
When Chi Rui picked up some potato chips and fed them to his mouth again, he finally couldn't help it and put her fingers into his mouth.
The girl's tender white fingertips were stained with the salt of potato chips. He stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked it gently. It was soft and had the salty fragrance of potato chips.
While licking her fingers, he could clearly feel the delicate body in his arms tremble slightly, and then the girl suddenly pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted.
He felt a little lost, but more amused, with a wonderful feeling filling his heart.
The little girl seemed to just treat this as an accident. She stiffened slightly, then relaxed and continued to watch the show while eating potato chips.
Watching her use the fingers he had licked to pick up potato chips and put them into her mouth again, Ye Minghan's eyes dimmed slightly.
The show was gradually coming to an end, and the girl, who was watching it intently, seemed to be reluctant to see more.
"Brother Han, what else do you want to watch?"
Not hearing any answer, Chi Rui turned around to look at the man behind him.
He stared at her with his dark eyes, with confused emotions surging in his eyes.
Chi Rui blinked and suddenly felt a little hot.
It was obviously a cold winter day, but just being stared at by him like this made her feel hot all over.
"Brother Han..."
She opened her mouth slightly and saw the man leaning towards her.
The lights in the living room were not particularly bright, and the colorful light from the TV shone slightly on them.
The man stared at her lips and tilted his head slightly. He did not rush to kiss her. Instead, he stretched out the tip of his tongue, gently licked her lips, and licked and kissed her lips repeatedly.
“Thump, thump—”
Chi Rui felt her heart beating faster again. She looked at Ye Minghan, her body slightly weakened, and she had no desire to resist at all.
Ye Minghan held her shoulders and turned over to push her down on the sofa.
The man caressed her cheek tenderly, making her face and body remain warm.
The tip of his tongue gently licked her lips, giving her waves of tingling stimulation.
Chi Rui's hands, which had been resting on his shoulders in resistance, slowly moved around his neck.
Men and women who have just begun the passionate period of love always inadvertently have a fatal attraction to each other, which eventually leads to such a situation.
However, just as Ye Minghan completely covered the girl's lips, kissing her and preparing to deepen the kiss, the door at the entrance, which was originally closed, suddenly opened at this moment, and then there were the sounds of closing the door and changing shoes.
The figures folded together on the sofa froze in fear.
Ye Minghan was the first to become alert. He suddenly let go of Chi Rui and pulled her up.
Chi Rui was still a little dizzy. She was suddenly awakened when she heard footsteps in the corridor outside the living room.
Mom is back?
She quickly pushed Ye Minghan away, stood up, and hurriedly tidied her hair.
As soon as she stood up, Liu Manzhi appeared at the door of the living room.
"Hey, you guys haven't slept yet?"
Liu Manzhi took off her coat and began to pull the scarf around her neck, looking exhausted.
Chi Rui had never expected to be caught, and she felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She looked at Ye Minghan, then at her mother, and forced herself to calm down.
"Mom, you're back...Have you eaten?"
Liu Manzhi stuffed the scarf into her coat pocket and then looked at her daughter. However, when her eyes swept across her lips, she paused slightly.
She frowned slightly, and then silently looked away while seeing Chi Rui's uneasy look.
"Yeah, I ate outside."
Liu Manzhi glanced around the living room and didn't find anything unusual. Her eyes finally fell on Ye Minghan.
"Are you watching TV?" she asked casually.
Ye Minghan's back stiffened slightly, as if he had been seen through. He pursed his lips and nodded, "Yes, Aunt Liu."
"Mom, I made some soup, do you want some?"
Liu Manzhi wanted to ask something, but Chi Rui suddenly interrupted and asked.
"Have you made soup? Then help me get a bowl." Liu Manzhi withdrew her gaze from Ye Minghan and said to her daughter, "Thank you for your help."
"No trouble, I'll be there right away."
Seeing that Liu Manzhi looked normal, Chi Rui breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down a lot. She smiled at Ye Minghan, then walked away.
Chi Rui went into the kitchen, leaving Liu Manzhi and Ye Minghan alone in the living room.
Facing Liu Manzhi's penetrating gaze, Ye Minghan thought about it and decided that it would be better to temporarily avoid it to avoid saying too much and making more mistakes.
"Aunt Liu, please sit down first. I'm going back to my room to take a shower."
In front of Liu Manzhi, he behaved unusually well-behaved, and even his tone of voice became much softer. If his mother An Xin saw this, she would probably suspect that her son's soul had been replaced.
"Well, go ahead."
Hearing Ye Minghan's words, Liu Manzhi did not stop him. She watched him leave the living room with her eyes flickering slightly, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Soon, Chi Rui came out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup.
"Mom, drink it while it's hot, it can also drive away the cold."
She placed the bowl of soup in front of An Xin, then sat beside her and spoke gently and obediently.
Liu Manzhi smiled with relief, then picked up the bowl and drank it mouthful by mouthful with a spoon.
She has a beautiful face and moves calmly, showing her elegant temperament. If she didn't have a neat short haircut, she might be more charming.
"I heard from Sister Cheng that mom is very busy today. She must be very tired, right?" Chi Rui looked at her, his eyes full of admiration and closeness.
Looking at her daughter's bright eyes, Liu Manzhi felt warm in her heart and reached out to touch the soft hair on her head.
"Nothing, just a small problem, it was dealt with quickly."
"Oh, that's good."
Chi Rui nodded slightly. Since her mother didn't want to say more, she naturally didn't ask any more questions. This was a tacit understanding that the mother and daughter had developed over a long period of time.
"By the way," Liu Manzhi suddenly thought of something and said to her, "Do you want to go to the gala with mom on New Year's Eve?"
She winked at her daughter and said, "It's a live version. In the VIP seats, you can countdown to the New Year with your favorite stars."
Chi Rui's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll go."
"Haha, when the time comes, mom will dress you up beautifully, and you will definitely amaze everyone."
Liu Manzhi pinched her daughter's little face and said with a smile.
Although her words were a bit exaggerated, they were not entirely meant to please her daughter.
With her years of experience in the industry, Rui Rui will have no problem making a living in the entertainment industry by relying on her looks.
It’s just that your entertainment industry is a big melting pot, and she still doesn’t want her to step in. It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will probably be the same in the future.
Chi Rui curled her lips shyly, but thinking of Ye Minghan, she hesitated and asked, "Can Brother Han also go with us?"
Liu Manzhi nodded, "I have prepared a ticket for him, but I still need to ask him what he thinks. He may not like this kind of occasion."
"Yeah, then I'll ask him later!" Chi Rui responded, smiling happily.
Brother Han should agree. Even if he doesn't, she will pester him to go with her.
It was the first time the two of them spent New Year's Eve together, and she hoped to spend a wonderful and unforgettable night together.
Looking at her daughter's curved eyebrows and eyes, Liu Manzhi's gaze fell on her lips again.
Although it is not very obvious now, she has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has a sharp eye, so she can naturally see the clues.
There was a hint of complexity and worry in Liu Manzhi's eyes. She originally thought that the two children might like each other, but had not yet made their relationship clear. However, now it seems that her guess was not entirely correct.
"Rui Rui." Liu Manzhi suddenly called her.
"Hmm?" Chi Rui raised her eyes and met her mother's inquiring gaze. She couldn't help but stop smiling.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
"Don't you have anything to say to Mom?"
Chi Rui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head subconsciously, "No."
Even though she denied it, her fingers were already clenched together nervously.
Did mom guess something? Should I tell her in advance?
But she promised not to fall in love too early, and now she can't do it. Will her mother have a bad impression of Brother Han and then oppose them?
Chi Rui didn't know what she should do if her mother opposed them.
After all, she has only been with Ye Minghan for half a year, and in her heart, her mother is more important.
She would definitely be very sad if her beloved relatives opposed her, so she didn't dare to take the risk.
Liu Manzhi looked at her daughter and saw her lower her head and keep silent. She sighed inwardly, thinking that she should not be impatient and should take it slow.
She forced a smile and talked about other things.
She stopped asking questions, and Chi Rui naturally breathed a sigh of relief. She also carefully tried not to mention Ye Minghan, so as to avoid her mother finding out anything again.
After chatting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Liu Manzhi sent her daughter back to the bedroom to sleep, while she continued to finish the rest of the soup.
When Ye Minghan finished taking a shower and came out of the room, he saw that Liu Manzhi was the only one left in the living room. He couldn't help but pause.
He originally wanted to see the little girl again before going to bed, but she had already returned to her room, so there was naturally no need for him to stay any longer.
But in order not to appear deliberate, he still called out "Auntie Liu", then sat down on the sofa and pretended to come out to drink water.
"I heard from Ruirui that you had a fever. How do you feel now?" Liu Manzhi looked at him and asked.
Ye Minghan nodded, "Well, the fever has gone down. I'm still taking medicine, but there's no big problem now."
"That's good." Liu Manzhi nodded.
Ye Minghan is An Xin's son. He fell ill on the first day he visited her home. She was busy all day and had no time to take care of him, so she always felt a little guilty.
She told him about the plans for New Year's Eve, and Ye Minghan readily agreed.
Seeing that he had no objection, Liu Manzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
She had a good impression of Ye Minghan, and he was An Xin's son. Thinking that her daughter would be living in their home for the next half a year, she naturally had to treat him well.
Just thinking about the scene she saw when she just came in, she couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Ye Minghan drank a few sips of water and wanted to slip away, but a sudden thought flashed through his mind and made him sit down again.
"Aunt Liu, can I ask you something?"
"you say."
"That is...Did Chi Rui have a serious illness when he was a child?"
