His heart thumped loudly, as if it was going to jump out of his chest.

Huo Yaoting lifted his lips, and with a warm smile in his eyes, he walked over and hugged her from behind.

His thick and warm embrace was pressing down on his back. Ye Xi breathed heavily and turned to look at him, his eyes shining with shyness.

The smile in Huo Yaoting's eyes became wider, and he kissed the lips that she turned around.

Ye Xi was shocked, and immediately raised a small hand to cover her mouth, her small head tilted to the side, and her large eyes anxiously looked at the entrance of the study room.

How awkward it would be if they were seen like this by the matriarch!

Thinking of this, Ye Xi decisively lowered his head and tried to grab his hand.

But the more she clutched at him, the tighter his grip became.

Ye Xi curled his lips and turned to look at him again.

He was staring at her with a cold expression and a slight frown.

Ye Xi bit her glistening lips. After being together for so long, she had a rough understanding of his personality.

He was probably unhappy that she wouldn't let him carry her.

He sighed in his heart.

Ye Xi looked at him somewhat helplessly.

This man was very good to her, but his temper made her unable to praise him. Especially his tyranny, it was likely that no one in this world could match him.

Pouting his lips, Ye Xi reached out and caressed his cold face, then laughed, "Actually, when you're not laughing, it's pretty cool!"

"…" Huo Yaoting's mouth twitched, he unhappily held onto her little hand, glanced at her, and said, "You're only cool when you're not laughing?"

Ye Xi rolled his eyes, pretended to think, and looked at him with wide eyes: "There's still one more time, and it's also very cool!"

"When?" Huo Yaoting asked as he embraced her.

Ye Xi glanced at the door again, seeing that there was no one around, she arched her brows and replied bashfully, "When she's good to me."

"…" Huo Yaoting's chest shook.

Who said that this girl was stupid? He thought that she was very clever.

The corners of his mouth curled up as he successfully broke the spell. He stared at her with ridicule in his eyes, "Other than these two, I feel that there's still another time that's pretty cool."

"Ugh …"

Ye Xi wanted to roll his eyes.

Cool is someone else's word, how can you call yourself that? If you call yourself cool, then that's narcissism, alright?

She felt that since he had already said so, it would be a bit disheartening if she did not ask him about it. Thus, she lifted her face and asked, "When?"

Huo Yaoting laughed. He laughed lovingly, even more so like a fox that cultivated for a thousand years.

Ye Xi felt a chill down his spine, he hunched his shoulders and looked at Yue Yang timidly.

Huo Yaoting lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "This is the time to display your prowess."

Ye Xi's ears instantly turned red.

She didn't know if it was because she had stayed with him for too long, but with regards to this kind of situation, she already understood it instantly, okay?

Big Eyes turned his head shyly a few times, Ye Xi swallowed his saliva, pretended to not understand, and stuttered as he changed the topic, "I, we should hurry, quickly put your things away …"

However, Huo Yaoting did not want to let her go, he stared at her instead, "Xiao Xi, tonight …"

"Xiao Xi, Yaoting, it's time to eat."

Hearing his mother call them, Ye Xi opened his eyes and jogged out. As he ran, he did not forget to turn his head and look at Huo Yaoting who was behind him.

Of course she wanted him to let her go. If it wasn't for him holding her tightly, she would have long since put him away.

Huo Yaoting looked at the little girl who was running out and felt very depressed.

The two of them had been married for almost two months, yet he was still living a life of a monk with few desires. How could he not feel aggrieved?!

Pursing his lips, Huo Yaoting then picked up the calligraphy on the table and placed it into the box.

However, when he put it in, he saw that the wooden box was almost full of calligraphy and paintings.

Duo Tong slightly narrowed his eyes.

He placed the calligraphy and paintings on the table, took out a scroll of calligraphy and paintings from the wooden box, opened it, and took a look at the names carved on the lower right corner. It was without a doubt the name of the Uncle Lan.

Putting down the calligraphy and paintings, he took out a few more and looked at them. Without exception, they were all made by the Uncle Lan.

Huo Yaoting stared at the scroll in the wooden box and fell silent.

After eating lunch, Ye Xi stuck to Xu Qiu like a puppy. Wherever Xu Qiu went, she followed.

Why did she follow Xu Qiu so closely? In the past, this little girl had never been so attached to her.

Huo Yaoting sat on the sofa with his head lowered as he played around with the lighter. He would occasionally glance at Ye Xi who was running behind Xu Qiu, and most of the time, his head was lowered, no one knew what he was thinking.

"Ye Xi, what's going on with your child today?" Xu Qiu simply pulled Ye Xi and went into the bedroom, letting her sit by his side while he stood in front of her and examined her.

Ye Xi felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, so he sat up and hugged Xu Qiu like a spoiled child. He rubbed his head on her shoulder, and said grievingly: "Mom, I just haven't seen you for a few days. I really miss you, why are you detesting me like this?"

"…" Xu Qiu frowned, he pulled down her hand and sighed as he looked at her, "I don't despise you, I am worried about you."

Ye Xi's eyes flashed, "What are you worried about?"

Xu Qiu stared at her for a while, then snorted: "I'm not clear about my daughter yet. If nothing happened, you would have stuck to me like this today, and you have even ignored Yaoting, okay? "

When he said the last sentence, Xu Qiu lowered his voice, and rebuked.

Leave him alone?

Ye Xi was at a loss, "Did I treat him coldly?"

"Still saying no? Look at the time after we had dinner. It's already past 3. Have you talked to anyone before?" Xu Qiu glared at her.

"…" Ye Xi bit her lips and looked towards the door.

Hearing her say this, she seemed to be really ignoring him, but she didn't do it on purpose.

Seeing her confused expression, Xu Qiu knew that the abnormality today probably had nothing to do with the child.

With furrowed brows, Xu Qiu held Ye Xi's hand, pulled her to the side of the bed and sat down with her. Then he looked into her eyes and asked seriously, "Xiao Xi, tell your mother, has something happened to you recently?"
