Chapter 51 (2/2)

“Mommy, I'll do it myself. You must be hungry too.” The little boy felt sorry and took his bowl from her.

Cheng Liyue gently warned, “Alright. Be careful when you eat. Make sure not to scald your tongue.”

“En!” The little boy picked up his chopsticks and grabbed some noodles with it. Puffing up his cheeks, he exerted all his strength as he blew on it twice before putting it into his mouth.

Gong Yexiao gave a quiet laugh as he gazed fondly at his son.

Cheng Liyue curved her lips into a smile. Looking up, her gaze met that of the man sitting across her. Their gentle smiles lingered in their eyes. As he looked at her, his gaze turned bold, seductive and dangerous.

Cheng Liyue averted her eyes, refusing to meet his.

But a blush crept up her cheeks.

The man was calm and composed as he fixed his gaze on her and smiled wickedly.

Cheng Liyue thought: this was her home, why should she be afraid of him? She raised her head and shot him a glare.

But this only caused his grin to widen. This woman was quite amusing.

All the while the little boy had been blowing on his noodles and did not notice the silent interactions going on between his daddy and mommy.

Gong Yexiao lowered his head to have a taste. Cheng Liyue stole a glance at him while he took the first bite fearing that it would not suit the taste of this rich young master. But it appeared that he did not dislike it as he immediately took another bite. Apparently, it was to his liking.

Cheng Liyue was also starving. She lowered her head to eat while checking on the little fellow from time to time. In the silence, a harmonious atmosphere settled upon the family of three.

Once they were done with their dinner and the utensils were washed up, it was already half past eight. Wiping her hands dry, Cheng Liyue came out of the kitchen and saw the man sitting on the sofa playing building blocks with his son.

The little boy looked up and said, “Mommy, I want to build a castle that looks as good as daddy's.”

Cheng Liyue smiled and then said to him, “Head to your room and build it. I need to talk to your daddy for a while.”

Seeing that his daddy and mommy were going to whisper sweet nothings to each other again, he obediently took the bucket containing his building blocks to his room and shut the door.

After her son had closed his door, Cheng Liyue placed both hands on her waist. She fixed the impa.s.sive man who was seated on the sofa with a stare, as his intense gaze settled on her.

“Gong Yexiao, you've had your dinner. Shouldn't you be on your way now? I don't want to chase you out in front of my son.” Cheng Liyue said.

Gong Yexiao arched his brow. “Who said I was leaving? I'm staying the night.”

“There's no room for you to sleep.”

“I don't mind sleeping in your room.” The man replied, unperturbed.

Cheng Liyue gritted her teeth. “But I mind. I don't like men sleeping in my bed.”

“It's no use even if you dislike it. I'll be sleeping in your bed tonight.” The man was used to having his way. He did not know how to smooth things over.

Cheng Liyue's beautiful face was drawn tight. It really was not that easy for her to chase him out. She nibbled on her lip. “Alright, you can stay for just one night. But starting tomorrow, you can't be here anymore.”

She yielded. It's not that big of a deal. She would just sleep on the sofa tonight.
