Chapter 12: Sweetness

  Just as she was fully immersed in this shy kiss, he suddenly pushed her away forcefully! His eyes were deep and ocean-like, his chest rising and falling rapidly. It seemed like he was desperately suppressing something, yet a lot of emotions still flowed out from those eyes. That was... complicated.

  "Are you leaving me for good? Why are you so determined to go? You'll only be in danger if you stay by my side, I really don't want you to get hurt! Why can't you understand?" He grasped her shoulders tightly and growled in a low voice.

  "Is this your reason for pushing me away?" She raised an eyebrow and asked calmly.

  "Yes! Don't you understand? I won't risk even a tiny bit of harm to you, do you know that?" He looked at her, his hand clenched tightly and trembling.

  "Night, don't evade let's face it together, okay? I'm not as weak as you imagine." Her soft and cool small hand lightly covered his thick hand back, the feeling was light and soft, like a tired butterfly flying over the vast ocean, finding its home.

  He held her hand tightly in his palm, and with a strong force, he pulled her into his arms. He whispered: "Ruo, Ruo... How am I asking you? You go, forget about me, okay? You should be cherished in someone's hands, I don't want you to suffer any harm because of me, not even a little bit, I couldn't bear that risk."

  "Night, do you love me? If you love me, let's face it together, okay?" She looked up at him, her trembling red lips like flower petals under the moonlight, unable to withstand the wind and dew, making people both love and pity.

  "Love! Love until it hurts, but I...". He tightly hugged her into his arms.

  "Shh! Don't say... tonight! I believe you'll protect me." She lifted her head, her bright eyes gazing straight at him, filled with trust and dependence.

  "Ah, my dear... what am I to do?" He tightly hugged her into his arms, making a silent vow in his heart: even if it costs me my life, I will definitely protect you... His dark eyes were filled with determination.

  "Night!" A smile brighter than sunshine appeared, dazzling him with its brilliance and leaving him slightly dizzy.

  "Oh, to be able to know you is such a great fortune." A sense of happiness I've never felt before surged up in my chest. It was as if the long-lost sunshine suddenly poured into a room that had been sealed for ages, illuminating the entire space with vitality and warmth.

  Two people held each other tightly for a long, long time...

  Lan Rou's lips slightly curved upwards, revealing a sly and adorable smile. She pushed him away, with one hand on her waist and the other grasping his ear. Glaring at him fiercely, "Are you going to be like this from now on?"

  "Pain, pain, pain...... Can't I just admit my mistake? Master He, I won't dare to do it again, please spare me this once." He Yeye begged with a toothy grin, his bright eyes overflowing with happiness.

  "Alright! However, escaping with one's life is impossible. I, the great one, have decided..." She rolled her eyes in a circle and suddenly revealed a cunning fox-like smile.

  "What's the decision?" He Yan Ye made a cute and fearful face, with adoration in her eyes. It was as if she saw under her sweet smile, a pair of little devil's black wings hiding.

  "I've decided to draw a turtle on your face. Are you going to take it or not?" He let go of the hand that was holding his ear, and his lively eyes were filled with amusement.

  With a pouting mouth, like a pitiful little dog. "Obey, obey, with a humble heart and obedient mouth."

  Picking up the pen, a wicked smile appeared on his face. "Hehe... then I'll get started."

  Three heads were stuck tightly on the door panel outside, sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, and sometimes excited.

  "Grandpa, ah! You're pressing down on me, move over a bit! I can barely hear anything." This damn door's soundproofing is too good.

  "You dare to despise your grandfather, are you itchy for a beating?" Old Master He scolded her with a red face and thick neck.

  He Xiangxiang shrunk her neck, trying to please him: "Grandpa, how could I possibly dislike you? Hehe..." She had forgotten that in this household, everyone can be offended except for the petty and vengeful Old Grandfather. How regrettable!

  "Shh! It's quiet inside." He Jufen said softly, his head still tightly pressed against the door panel.

  "Really? Let me have a listen." Old Master He hurriedly squeezed forward.

  "Great job done. You're so handsome tonight. Haha......" Looking at He Yan Ye with a face full of turtle-like wrinkles, Lan Ruo Xue hugged her belly and laughed loudly.

  He Yanye saw his reflection in the mirror across from him and couldn't help but laugh happily. "Haha..."

  Three people outside the door heard the loud laughter coming from inside and looked at each other with puzzled faces. What's so funny? I really want to go in and take a look.

  "Bang......" The door was opened from inside, and the three people hadn't reacted yet, they were all knocked into a heap.

  The three people who hadn't had time to get up yet looked up and saw He Yanye with a turtle painted on his face. They couldn't help but laugh awkwardly, directly falling to the ground in laughter.

  He Yan Ye looked at Lan Ruoxue with a sorrowful and resentful gaze.

  Someone automatically ignored, smiling to himself. The whole room was filled with cheerful laughter. Even the servant who was sweeping the floor downstairs was infected and had a smile on his face.
