Chapter 276 - Any Leads? (1/2)

After Yun Shen finished cooking everything, the three of them sat down together to enjoy the food they've prepared.

”Little Yan, eat slowly you'll choke yourself.” Elizabeth removed the rice on the little girl's corner lip and wipe the smug on her face.

”When did you move here?”

Elizabeth was struck by Yun Shen's question. What's worse is she doesn't know how to explain her situation. How could a simple actress like her afford such a place?

”Thanks to the Zhao and Knightley I could afford this place. They said it their way of compensating me for what happened before.”

Elizabeth notice Yun Shen seems to be buying her excuse. She just hoped he won't ask her any further questions.

Yun Shen smiled within... At least the girl used her family as an excuse for why she is living alone.

”Anyway, you and Little Yan are the first to visit me. So…”

Before Elizabeth could finish her words, she notices the strange expression on both of their faces.

'Are they that happy to be the first one to visit me?'

”Hmm…” Yun Shen continued to finish his food and glanced at the girl from time to time with a big smile inside. To think he was the first person to cook for the girl and the first person to visit her home.

Whilst Elizabeth was clearing up, Yun Shen went over to help her.

”Let me.”

”Shen it's fine, I can do it…”

Elizabeth tried to grab the plates from the man, but because of the height difference she was unable to reach it and soon both of them were glued to each other.

Both of them froze as they felt each other's body up close. Yun Shen looked down as he gazed into the woman's eyes. A strange feeling and desired arouse as he glanced at the woman's reddish lips.

Elizabeth looked up and saw the warmth in the man's eyes. Her heart started to skip as her hand pressed onto the man's chest. She felt the man's beating heart as well as her face started to flush in seconds.

”I-”

Yun Shen face started to move closer to the woman's face. His own body moved on its own without him realizing...

Elizabeth panic as she didn't know what to do, she notices the man's face slowly closing onto hers. As she closes her eyes to what's about to happen, she clenched her fist as she prepared herself.

'Is Shen really going to kiss me? What should I do?'

Yun Shen notices the girl's eyes were shut close as he too slowly closes his eyes as he moved his lips closer to the woman.

”Auntie!”

It startled both of them to hear the little girl's voice echoed behind them. They both turned to face her with such a fl.u.s.tered expression.

Elizabeth quickly left Yun Shen as she runs to the little girl and carried her.

'Damn it, that was so close...'

Yun Shen watched as the woman escapes, leaving him in a daze of what just happened. He was almost so close yet still so far. He sighed and retreated as he turned around to do what he intended to do, to begin with...

'Hmm, I can always wait.'

Little Yan looked at her Auntie curious as to why her face was so rosy. She glanced at her father and notice his ears were reddish too. She ponders what could have happened as to why both of them looked so feverish.

'Is Auntie and father sick?'

…

After Yun Shen finished doing the dishes and properly cleaned the kitchen, he went to join the two girls who were happily watching a movie.

”Little Yan, it's time to go home.”

Little Yan was reluctant to go, but she understands that she needs to let her Auntie rest.

”Okay.”

Elizabeth hastily got up and kissed the little girl on the cheeks. ”Baby, once Auntie is not busy you can come and play with Auntie again. But tonight, you need to be a good girl and listen to your father, okay?”
