Xu Yi could not tell what he was thinking. A woman’s approach and probing.

He knew it like the back of his hand.

When he returned home, the house was brightly lit.

Only then did he see Fang Qing sleeping on the sofa. There was still some untouched food on the dining table.

Lin Lin did not expect to see this scene.

He gave Xu Yi a deep look.

Lin Lin had seen Lu Si kissing him just now.

However, he had no right to ask about young master’s matters. Some of them could even pretend not to have seen it, let alone understand it.

Xu Yi’s brows furrowed slightly.

Fang Qing slept very quietly. Even her movements were curled up together, like a kitten.

Xu Yi suddenly moved closer.

Fang Qing felt Xu Yi’s breathing stop. She was not asleep at all. She was just resting with her eyes closed.

Xu Yi gently carried her in his arms.

Fang Qing’s entire body was stiff, but she could not show it at all.

Her head touched Xu Yi’s chest, and the rhythmic beating of her heart made her feel the man’s warmth. She could not suppress her little thoughts.

Fang Qing’s eyebrows trembled, and she suppressed the throbbing in her heart.

Xu Yi carried her back to the room and covered her with a blanket.

Then he left.

However, Fang Qing could not calm herself down for a long time. This time, not only could she not fall asleep, but her stomach was also still hungry. She could only rejoice about the fact that when she was in Xu Yi’s arms, her stomach did not growl.

When she closed her eyes, they were black, and when she opened them, they were also pitch black.

Fang Qing let out a deep breath. Now, she could be considered to admire those actors. They were able to control their own feelings, but at the same time, they had to put in an endless amount of effort to present a fake but realistic love. It made people feel very sweet.

However, she was different. She was not an actress.

Fang Qing only had one voice in her heart. All of this was fake. It was best not to have feelings that she should not have!

Fang Qing frowned and eventually fell asleep.

Fang Qing woke up early in the morning. She was so hungry that she couldn’t take it anymore. If she didn’t eat something, she wouldn’t sleep anymore and would faint.

Fang Qing endured her weakness and washed up before going downstairs.

Breakfast was still being prepared.

But Xu Yi had already woken up and his expression wasn’t good.

He did not even notice Fang Qing coming down. He was still focused on his phone.

She poured herself a glass of milk and drank two mouthfuls to fill her stomach. She blinked and looked at Xu Yi. What could he be looking at?

By getting closer, Fang Qing saw what he was looking at.

The photo was not very clear, but Fang Qing recognized it at a glance.

It was Xu Yi and Lu Si together.

And they were kissing! That outfit, wasn’t it the same one Xu Yi wore yesterday?

“When did you wake up? Why are you walking so quietly?”

Xu Yi had noticed her small movements, but he decided not to point it out. He just turned off the phone screen.

Breakfast was served.

Xu Yi handed the egg soup in front of him to Fang Qing. “I had auntie specially prepare it for you. Eat something to warm up your stomach first.”

Fang Qing lowered her complicated eyes and took the egg custard. She hummed, “I just woke up. Maybe you were too engrossed in it.”

She was telling the truth.

A strange feeling spread endlessly in her heart. She shouldn’t have said such misleading words.

After saying that, she felt awkward and added, “What were you looking at? You were so focused.”

Fang Qing smiled and looked at him.

Xu Yi ate his breakfast slowly and replied, “The news.”

“What news?”

Fang Qing blurted out those two words instantly and a trace of nervousness flashed across her eyes. She quickly retracted her gaze and quickly ate a mouthful of breakfast to resolve the discomfort.

“The news about me and Lu Si.”

“Xu Yi! Your mom is here to see you. What’s going on between you and Lu Si?”

Just as Xu Yi finished speaking, Lin Xiang’s voice suddenly sounded.

Fang Qing heard the voice and looked over. She saw Lin Xiang walking over with a face full of curiosity. Obviously, she had been in a hurry and was walking with the wind.

“Mom, why are you here?”

Lin Xiang looked at Xu Yi with excitement and said with a smile, “Why can’t I come? Why? You made your mom so angry last time. Don’t you know how to coax your mom? Why do you have to make mom come to see you personally?”

After Lin Xiang came, she treated Fang Qing as if she was invisible.

She didn’t even glance at Fang Qing, let alone greet her.

Xu Yi also smiled, “As long as mom respects my decisions, you won’t be angry.”

“Mom has already done some reflection before coming, of course, mom respects you!”

Lin Xiang’s eyes were shining. Obviously, she meant something else.
