“Ai... Ain!”
Ye Ming froze for several seconds before slowly turning around.
But upon looking back, he saw that little Ai’in was still fast asleep, and it seemed she hadn't spoken before.
“Was that... sleep-talking?”
Looking at the familiar little Ai’in, Ye Ming muttered to himself.
However, after Ye Ming carefully recalled, the voice from earlier seemed to have resonated directly within his mind.
“This…”
He returned to little Ai’in’s side and conducted a comprehensive inspection of the seal once more.
But the final result was the same as before.
There was nothing unusual.
“Ai... Ain!” Ye Ming tried calling out.
He remembered clearly that the voice from before was definitely Ai’in before the seal was placed.
After nearly a minute, Ye Ming received no response.
“Could it really be sleep-talking?”
At this moment, Ye Ming felt somewhat confused.
Finally, he cast a complex glance at the sleeping little Ai’in before leaving the room.
Even so, that single phrase of “sleep-talking” still stirred considerable ripples in his heart.
“Is little Ai’in alright?”
After Ye Ming exited the room, a silhouette clad in a silkworm-patterned silk pajama was already waiting silently.
“She’s fine!”
Ye Ming gently stepped forward, drawing the delicate figure into his embrace, and inhaled deeply, placing his breath within her hair, saying with contentment, “Don’t worry! I will definitely solve the problems with little Ai’in!”
Through their time together, Ye Ming knew that Fang Junxue and the others already treated little Ai’in as their own sister.
If anything were to truly happen to her, they wouldn't be able to accept it.
What's more, Ye Ming also considered her as his own sister.
“Mmm! I believe you!”
Fang Junxue leaned her head on his shoulder, wrapping her arms around his waist, truly enjoying this moment of peace.
“ Qianyu and I are going abroad tomorrow. I’ll have to trouble you with household matters for a while.” Ye Ming said with some concern.
There were many things Fang Junxue was currently assisting him with.
The company!
The Li family!
Even some covert arrangements had her mark upon them.
It was just that they hadn't been revealed yet.
“Don’t worry! I’ve got your back.”
Fang Junxue smiled charmingly.
“Oh, right! There’s something… Ah!”
Perhaps Fang Junxue thought of something, but her words cut off halfway, and her body suddenly went limp.
Concurrently, her profile bathed in moonlight inexplicably gained two streaks of crimson. Her clear, mirror-like eyes flowed like gentle water, reflecting a captivating brilliance.
“Let’s talk about it later. You’re tired today too, I’ll help you relieve some stiffness in your muscles!”
Ye Ming moved closer to her reddened, beautiful earlobe, his palms brushing over the proud curves behind her back, and with a slight exertion, he directly lifted the person in front of him.
This sudden action caused Fang Junxue’s fair, jade-like legs to instinctively wrap around Ye Ming’s waist, her hands encircling his neck, their foreheads lightly touching.
“You… keep it gentle. I can’t take too much vigorous massage!”
Although Fang Junxue had experienced this kind of massage many times, the shyness on her pretty face was still evident.
“That won’t do! I don’t know when I’ll be back after this departure!” Ye Ming straightened his body slightly with a mischievous grin, “So this massage today must be all-encompassing.”
“Ah!”
Ye Ming’s sudden upright movement nearly sent her to the heavens. Fortunately, they weren’t fully undressed at the moment. Otherwise, she might not have been able to come down.
Even so, the two jade legs entwined around Ye Ming’s waist tightened involuntarily, and her chest heaved.
Seeing this, Ye Ming’s eyes also reddened slightly. He stared intently at the delicate, rosy lips within reach, and then directly kissed her.
The next second!
A flash of white light swept through, and the figures of the two vanished from their original positions.
Simultaneously, a light rain began to fall in the night sky.
But as time passed, the sound of rain became incessant, mixed with the rumble of thunder, rising and falling, surging and ebbing. Combined with the pattering of the rain, it formed the most primal of symphonies.
This thunderstorm lasted for a long time, only gradually ceasing as night turned to dawn and the morning sun began to push through the clouds.
The rain cleared, and vibrant life returned to the earth. Even the first ray of sunlight filtering into the room was imbued with a lingering sense of spring.
By the bedside, due to the extremely loud thunder and rain the previous night, a man and a woman leaning against the bed seemed to have stayed awake all night.
However, there was not a trace of fatigue on their expressions. Instead, they were radiant, with smiles playing on their lips.
Especially the woman, her pretty face was flushed and luminous, her beautiful eyes seeming to hold a pool of autumn water, captivating the soul.
“Are you satisfied?”
Fang Junxue tried to shift slightly, exerting a little pressure with her legs. But the next moment, her brows furrowed slightly.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing the faint expression of pain on her face, Ye Ming felt heartbroken.
“My… leg cramped!”
Fang Junxue shot him a look of playful resentment, her face tinged with shyness.
If it weren’t for the previous night’s demands from someone, why would she have done so many deep squats? Now, her leg had cramped.
“Ah! Let me rub it for you!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Ming dove into the quilt like a dragon entering water.
But because it was too dark inside the quilt, it was easy to touch places that shouldn’t be touched.
“Ah! Ye Ming! You… you want to die!”
Not knowing which forbidden zone he had trespassed into, he provoked Fang Junxue to curse him. She clutched the bedsheet, seeming to be enduring something intensely.
“Hahaha! My apologies! It’s too dark!”
A mischievous chuckle came from inside the quilt.
“You… you get out quickly, I… I’m fine!” Fang Junxue gritted her teeth, wishing she could beat Ye Ming up right now.
“Get out?”
Hearing this, Ye Ming inside the quilt feigned worry, “But your foot…!”
Before Fang Junxue could even respond, he preemptively declared, “It’s alright! I’ll rub it for you!”
Feeling the commotion inside the quilt, Fang Junxue immediately sensed something was amiss and quickly said, “No! I don’t need you to rub it, I’m fine… Mmm!”
Before her words could finish, she suddenly felt her body tighten, and Ye Ming’s head, with a devilishly charming smile, emerged from the quilt.
“I’m out.”
Yes!
He had indeed come out.
“You…”
Fang Junxue immediately felt all her strength drain away, and she could only glare at the young man on top of her. But after a few seconds, her gaze lost all its fierceness.
In the end, she could only once again surrender to the ebb and flow of bliss.
