Chapter 52 - Look at Your Dissatisfied Expression

Ye Hanyuan returned to the bedroom and stood by the window. He looked at the city ablaze with lights outside and suddenly felt a pain in his head.

The city was ablaze with lights, but how was his house like a home!

He took out his mobile phone and dialed Banxia’s phone. It didn’t get it through for the first time. When the phone rang for the second time, Banxia heard it.

At that time, she had just come out of the study holding a foreign book in her hand and was in a relatively good mood.

Hearing the ringtone on the phone, Banxia thought it was Ling Nian. She walked over with a smile to pick up the phone but saw the word “father” flashing on the screen. It took three seconds before she pressed the answer button with her eyes down.

The phone was connected, and there was unexpected silence on both sides.

Banxia pursed her lips. “Father, what’s the matter?”

She was sitting at her bedside holding the book she had just brought back. Her fingers rubbed lightly on the pages of the book absent-mindedly. After saying this, she quietly waited for the person on the other end to answer.

Ye Hanyuan originally wanted to directly ask her about the cost of Hanyan’s surgery, but he paused and suddenly changed his mind. “Are you free tomorrow night? Come back and have a meal.”

Banxia’s fingertips paused a little, then she continued the movement just now, quietly, with a faint smile on her gentle face. However, the smile was too cold and faintly mixed with a hint of mockery.

“Dad, I have been busy working recently, so I’m not really free.”

She quickly made an excuse with the word “recently” and refused him, making Ye Hanyuan clueless as to what to say.

When Banxia heard his heavy breathing at the other end and he asked in an unfriendly tone, “Is your work so busy that you can’t even eat a meal with me?”

“I just started working, so I’m very busy. Dad, I’m not a college student who just graduated, this is a job that I found with difficulty.”

As if she didn’t notice the anger in the other person’s tone, she still talked to him calmly.

Ye Hanyuan lowered his voice and said as gently as possible, “No matter what, spare some time to come back home for a meal this week!”

Come back home.

Banxia laughed silently. Once, she had felt that the place with grandpa and Hanyan was home, and now that they weren’t there, the place was filled with the scent of Fang Shuyuan and her daughter, and she didn’t even live there, so how could it be called home?

Or did father forget that there was a pair of mother and daughter that he couldn’t abandon, and she and Hanyan were just two daughters that could be readily abandoned…

After a brief silence, she whispered, “I will try my best.”

Banxia rubbed her eyebrows, her voice faintly tired. “Dad, if it’s okay, I’ll hang up first.”

Ye Hanyuan’s remaining words were stuck in his throat, and the next second, he angrily cut off the phone.

…

When Mo Chenyan came in, he saw the woman sitting on the bed with her legs curled up, staring intently at the book on her knee. The dim light of the bedside lamp hit her white face, and the softness that couldn’t be wiped off was faint, but there was also a hint of sadness that wasn’t usually there.

He stood at the door for about half a minute. The woman was still staring intently at the book in her hand, unaware of his return.

Mo Chenyan confirmed that she was just staring at the book, not reading it.

Stepping into with slender legs, he narrowed his eyes and spoke indifferently, “Mrs. Mo, your book is reversed.”

For a moment, Banxia was still staring at the pages of the book, but then her eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly she focused on it.

Two seconds later, she looked up at him with a weird expression. “Mo Chenyan, you liar!”

The corner of the man’s lips slightly curled, and he continued to walk towards her. “What did I lie about?”

“You said my book was reversed!”

“The position and angle from the doorway weren’t good, and the light was reversed. It’s normal for me to have mistaken it. You, on the other hand, Mrs. Mo, you’ve clearly been reading the book, but how could you have been tricked by me that the book was reversed?”

Banxia blushed and realized that she couldn’t compete with him, so she turned around moodily.

Mo Chenyan stood beside her, his smile deepening. “Are you angry?”

Banxia snorted softly. “No.”

“I don’t believe you.”

He lowered his eyes and looked at her calmly. The hand that was originally inserted in his pants pocket was drawn out, and he held her chin so that she was facing him. With his eyebrows raised, he asked, “Did you just snort at me?”

It was obviously a frivolous or even humiliating action, but when done by this man, the malicious elements were missing and his elegant and noble smile on his handsome face had a sense of flirtatiousness.

Banxia gritted her teeth, her face red and white. “You heard wrong.”

“Really?”

She was about to nod when the light in front of her was blocked by a shadow that pressed down on her. The handsome face of the man slowly enlarged, followed by the faint smell of tobacco on his body suddenly filling all of Banxia’s senses.

She widened her eyes, thinking he would kiss her as unexpectedly as he had before, so she closed her eyes again in the next second.

The indifferent and handsome face stopped near her, and his eyes deepened with a smile. “Ye Banxia, ​​what are you dreaming about?”

Banxia’s face stiffened. Teased, she opened her eyes and glared at him in embarrassment. “I just blinked a little longer!”

“Oh?” The man nodded, his eyes deepening. “What are you blushing for?”

“I’m hot… um.”

The man bowed his head back suddenly and blocked her words. His thin lips crashed heavily on her red lips without entering her mouth, but it was so forceful she didn’t know if he was feeling her temperature or making her feel his, sometimes rough, other times gentle.

His big skeletal palm firmly pressed her against the back of her head, and her curly black hair was interspersed between his slender fingers. His soft and cool touch reached the bottom of her heart through his palm.

Just when Banxia was breathless and instinctively opened her mouth to breathe, the man’s hot tongue drove straight in, instantly sweeping through her entire mouth. The wilder action made her feel a little strange.

It seemed that at that moment, except for him, there was nothing left in her mind, including the sadness from the phone call just now.

After a long time, Banxia was released by him.

She sneered heavily. “Didn’t you say I was dreaming?”

Compared to her flushed silk-like face at the moment, the elegant and noble man was still calm and had a smirk on his face.

He heard the words and said “yes” lightly. “Look at your dissatisfied expression, I just satisfied you.”

“…”

Banxia was too lazy to even glare at him. She got up from the bed unsteadily and strode toward the bathroom.

Looking at her angry back, Mo Chenyan’s eyes converged and his dark pupils intensified.
