127 Not Going To Budge (2/2)

Back in the courtyard, Xia Chunyu was shocked when he saw Helian Jing sitting at the grindstone in the courtyard, playing with the Kong Ming* lock that Jiang Li made. That little devil actually snuck back!

”Helian Jing,” Xia Chunyu shouted furiously.

Helian Jing looked up, startled. ”Mm? Brother Chunyu, what are you doing back here? Oh... you must be back for the ice cream!”

Xia Chunyu glared at him. No, you idiot, I'm not back for the ice cream. Also, unlike you, I don't use the ice cream as an excuse to hang around Yaoyao.

”I left something behind,” Xia Chunyu said unpleasantly.

”What is it? I'll get it for you,” Helian Jing offered.

Xia Chunyu really felt like giving him a flying kick.

”Where's Li Yao?”

Helian Jing pointed to the direction of the kitchen. ”He is making ice cream with the Jiang siblings inside! I'm not going in to watch, don't worry. I am just going to wait here until the ice cream is ready.”

Xia Chunyu ignored him and turned to head to the kitchen.

Helian Jing blocked him immediately, saying firmly, ”Brother Chunyu, you must not go in! This concerns the secret recipe.”

”There is something I have to ask Li Yao,” Xia Chunyu replied impatiently.

Helian Jing did not budge. ”You were here a long time ago, shouldn't you have asked him already?”

Helian Jing might act simple and childish at times but he has an acute intuition. He did not miss how especially close Brother Chunyu and Yaoyao are. The way he looked at Yaoyao was just like how Zhao Qixuan looked at Susu, full of tender feelings.

Although he has always held Brother Chunyu in high regards, Yaoyao was dear to him so he would not just roll over to him.

Xia Chunyu looked at Little Jing, confused and irritable. He saw the resolution in Little Jing's eyes and he sneered. Was this brat really willing to fight him over Yaoyao? Ha!

Ye Jiayao heard some movement outside so she came out to take a look. She saw the two of them standing in the middle of the of the courtyard staring at each other. Little Jing even has his arms open wide to stop Chunyu.

What the f*ck is going on?

”Hey, what are the two of you doing?” Ye Jiayao broke their staring contest.

Xia Chunyu turned to her, his eyes furious. You didn't me believe me when I told you about Little Jing's crush, right? Well, take a good look for yourself right now. Your little brother has evolved into a bull in oestrus.

Helian Jing puts his arms down and said with a smile. ”Nothing. Oh, Brother Chunyu, you said you left something behind, right? What is it?”

Xia Chunyu answered thoughtlessly, ”I dropped my thumb ring in your room.”

Helian Jing's heart sank a little. He was in Yaoyao's room?

”I'll help you look for it,” Helian Jing said, walking towards Yaoyao's room.

No! What the f*ck is this brat trying to do? Ye Jiayao remembered that the dress that she had changed out of was still lying on the bed. What if he sees it?

”Stop right there,” Ye Jiayao shouted frantically. ”You don't know where it is, you'll just mess up my room. Go to the kitchen and help beat the eggs.” She pulled him back and pushed him into the kitchen.

Helian Jing was fuming but he didn't dare say a word.

Xia Chunyu followed Ye Jiayao into the room.

Once the door shuts, Xia Chunyu pressed her against it and kissed her deeply and passionately, pouring all the pent-up aggression he was feeling in the kiss.

He panted, ”You still think he has no interest in you? I saw it with my own eyes. If you came out a little later, we would have fought.”

Ye Jiayao was getting dizzy from the lack of oxygen and from the lust she was feeling. ”I know. I tried to chase him out but he just won't leave.”

”You are not firm enough,” Xia Chunyu said.

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes. What did he want her to do? Throw Little Jing out with a broom?

”Alright, alright, I know. Where did you leave your thumb ring?” Ye Jiayao asked.

Xia Chunyu stared at her deeply and said with a gravelly voice, ”It was not my thumb ring that I left here, it's my heart.”

Ye Jiayao flushed with pleasure from his words.

”Yaoyao, I am going to Pu Ji Temple tomorrow to escort the Empress Dowager for the Seventh Prince's ritual. I will be gone for seven days so you have to take care of your own safety. I will have Song Qi stay in the residence to await orders. If there is anything you need, look for Song Qi, he will find a way to inform me. What happened today will not happen again. I'll always be here when you need me, one way or another,” Xia Chunyu said sincerely.

”Seven days…” Ye Jiayao could not help but feel down.

Her melancholic expression touched Xia Chunyu's heart. He cupped her face in his hands and kissed her over and over again. ”Seven days will pass by quickly. Remember, don't get too close to Little Jing, okay? I will be jealous and I will go crazy.”

A man who gets jealous and goes crazy for a woman must be madly in love with her, right? Ye Jiayao giddily embraced him. ”Alright, naggy.”

Xia Chunyu pinched her nose. ”I am not nagging! Wait until my return, I'm going to punish you for that.”

He pressed harder against her, letting her feel his desire.

Ye Jiayao understood the punishment he was referring to when she felt his enormous bulge. She blushed shyly and pushed him away half-heartedly. ”We should get going. Little Jing might get suspicious.”
