It wasn’t until his restlessness grew, and the large palm clasping her slender waist began to drift upwards, that she managed to claw back a shred of rationality. Her tender hands began to push his scorching body away: "Mmm... You can’t, you... you still have an injury..."
This sentence seemed to bring the man’s previously scattered and hazy eyes into reluctant focus.
He withdrew his hand that had strayed to her sensitive areas, and his rationality also returned bit by bit.
Feeling this, Ye Ning quickly used all her strength to push him, and managed to shove him away. Her beautiful eyes, filled with moisture and mist, stared at him in panic like a frightened deer.
This jerk, how could he... how could he...
"You... go ahead by yourself, I’m leaving!"
She didn’t dare stay any longer, tossing the towel in her hand aside, she bolted like a rabbit, clutching her burning face, fleeing in disarray.
How could she have been kissed by him again?
Returning to her room, she slammed the door shut, and without even taking a bath, she dived straight under the covers and buried herself...
She was sleepless through the night.
The next morning, after only a fitful doze just before dawn, Ye Ning was awakened by her son.
"Mommy, I want to pee."
"Hmm? Okay, Mommy will take you." Ye Ning crawled out of bed, still half asleep, and carried her son off the bed.
They had never lived in this apartment before, and although Xiaobao was smart for his four years, she still worried he might go the wrong way, so she decided to personally take him to the bathroom.
However, as she carried her son out of the room, she was surprised to see the living room outside already brightly lit, and a tall figure stood there, a maid in a uniform at his side.
"Young Master Ou, I’ve bought the items. Should I make it now?"
He responded with a faint "Hmm," and moved to the water dispenser with a glass in hand to pour water.
Seeing this, and recalling the events of the previous night, Ye Ning’s face showed a hint of discomfort. She was about to take her son to the bathroom unnoticed when Little Baozi in her arms suddenly perked up: "Uncle, you’re back?"
Ou Mucen, who was pouring water on the other side, heard someone call out from behind and turned his lean figure around: "Hmm, I’m back. Are you awake?"
Ye Xiaobao immediately flashed a big smile: "I’m awake, Uncle. Wait here for me, I’m going to pee, then I’ll come find you."
The man’s gaze seemed to linger on the child, not paying attention to the child’s mother.
Feeling awkward, Ye Ning set her son down at the bathroom door, letting him enter, and then stood there for quite a while before uncomfortably approaching: "Who is she?"
"A cleaning lady we hired. What would you like to eat?"
"You can go talk to her yourself." After saying this, he seemed to be losing patience again, placing his water glass down, and he returned to his bedroom.
Seeing this, Ye Ning realized that he was still wearing his pajamas, meaning he must have gotten up only after the cleaning lady had arrived.
Does the cleaning lady also cook?
Ye Ning went to the kitchen and saw the middle-aged maid she had met earlier busily at work. Approaching her, she asked: "Auntie, are you making breakfast?"
