Chapter 70 (1/2)

Because Cheng Liyue did not want to spoil his fun, she lifted her gla.s.s to his before taking a sip of the red wine. It was rich and mellow and tasted of the sweet flavor of grapes. The wine was incomparable to those sold outside. The aroma and intoxicating flavor made one unable to hold back from taking another sip.

Gong Yexiao elegantly took a sip of his red wine. There was an enchanting gleam in his eyes. The light reflecting off the gla.s.s into his eyes made them glint compellingly.

Her heart skipped a beat. What was this man playing at?

“Daddy, you're always staring at mommy, are you in love with her?” The little boy who was beside them blurted out his daddy's feelings for his mommy.

Cheng Liyue swiftly gave the little boy a stern look. “Eat your noodles. What nonsense are you spouting?”

Sniffing pitifully, the little boy obediently stuffed his mouth with food using his chopsticks.

“Don't you know that it's impolite to stare at others?” Annoyed, Cheng Liyue snapped at the man.

Gong Yexiao's expression turned unsightly for a few seconds, cutting off his alluring vibes. Cheng Liyue was one woman he could not figure out.

The family of three quietly finished their meal. Cheng Liyue couldn't get enough of the taste of the red wine. Sip by sip, her half full gla.s.s was gradually emptied.

Seeing this, Gong Yexiao made to pour some more wine for her. Waving him away, Cheng Liyue said to him, “I won't be having any more.”

“Why is that?” Gong Yexiao questioned with a smile.

“It's a vice to drink in excess.” Cheng Liyue spoke frankly.

Four years ago, Shen Junyao had dragged her off to a place to drink. They had opened a bottle of red wine. She had been addicted to the taste of it and had drunk something that she should not have been drinking and had suffered the consequences.

Once Cheng Liyue was done with was.h.i.+ng the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen, she realized that it was already half past eight. Since the little boy had school tomorrow, Cheng Liyue wanted her son to be in bed by half past nine.

As the master bedroom was Gong Yexiao's, she took up a room next to her son's. After tidying it up, she came out of her room and said to the little boy who was playing with his toys, “Xiao Ze, it's time for a bath! You still have school tomorrow.”

“Mommy, I want daddy to help me with my bath. I'm a boy. I can't let mommy give me a bath.”

“What's wrong with that?” Cheng Liyue asked helplessly.

“Because the TV said that a male should not casually show a female his w.i.l.l.y.” The little boy answered bluntly.

Cheng Liyue exclaimed inwardly, ‘why would she want to look at his w.i.l.l.y?!'

The man beside her stifled a laugh. Looking at the bewildered woman, he couldn't help but speak for his son, “What he said is right. Let's go, daddy will help you with your bath.”

The little fellow took his hand and scampered off to the bathroom. Cheng Liyue who was left behind had been struck speechless.

Sure enough, the man's presence had caused her son's affections to be divided.

After his bath, the little boy's wet black hair stuck to his forehead. Cheng Liyue was waiting for him with a hair dryer in her hand. The little fellow obediently let her dry his hair. He looked absolutely adorable after having been dried off.

Cupping his face, Cheng Liyue smothered him with kisses. “Alright. You have ten minutes of play time, after that it's off to bed with you. I'll check up on you some time later.”

“En! Mommy, you and daddy have a good night.” The little fellow said while giving her a wave.

Stepping out, Cheng Liyue closed the door. She caught sight of the handsome and outstanding masculine figure standing indolently by the French window admiring the city lights.

Dressed in just a white silk dress s.h.i.+rt and a pair of slim fit dress pants, he looked divine.

Cheng Liyue was well aware that to be able to admire the dazzling nightscape from this vantage point was a luxury in itself.
