Chapter 340 - He's slowly accepting you

"I'm glad..." Xiao Lei sighed in relief. "In his own way, he's slowly accepting you..."

Han Ye smiled as he held her hand tightly. "Yeah..."

He looked down at Xiao Lei, and at the same time, she looked up at his face. When their eyes met, both of them had an urge to do something, yet something was pulling them back. Han Ye gulped, and after a while, he asked in an almost whispering voice, "Stay over at my place tonight?"

"What?" she gasped, and her face blushed as she thought about what would happen if she stayed at his place tonight. "I think..."

"I won't be doing anything to you..." Han Ye said in a soft voice. "I just want to spend some time with you."

Xiao Lei looked at him. "But Zhihao is at home alone..." 

"No problem... I'll tell Tian Le to stay with Zhihao tonight."

"Tian Le is home? I thought he won't be coming back this weekend," Xiao Lei asked.

Han Ye nodded. "He was at the scene when Zhihao got into a fight earlier, and he was pissed at your son, so he decided to come home for this weekend. I think Zhihao's ears might be bleeding now, from all the scoldings from Tian Le."

He then chuckled. "Tian Le might seem like a gentle boy, but when someone he cares about get into trouble recklessly, he won't hesitate to give them a piece of his mind." 

Xiao Lei looked at Han Ye's face, and she could see that he really wanted her to spend the night at his place. She thought for a while, and after she made up her mind, she smiled softly as she nodded. "Alright, I'll stay over... But I still need to go home and shower first."

Han Ye's lips twitched slightly, and he had to cover his lips and looked out the window so that she couldn't see the wide grin on his face. However, his action was completely useless since she could already guess what he was doing at this moment. 

Still, she did not make fun of him now, since she also had a wide smile on her face. 

They allowed themselves to have some blissful silence before going back to the important topic. 

"I heard that Fan Shaohang went to see you?" Han Ye asked. 

Xiao Lei nodded. She figured her assistant was probably the one who told Han Ye about it. 

"He came to give me a birthday present. Apparently, he wouldn't be here for the next few days..." she replied as she looked up at Han Ye. She could see that he wanted to say something, but for some reason, he was holding back. "What's wrong?" Xiao Lei asked when Han Ye did not show any inclination to say what was in his mind. 

Han Ye stared at her, and after a while, he asked, "Why didn't you tell me in your message earlier?" 

Xiao Lei blinked in confusion. "I didn't... think it's important." 

"Everything about you is important to me, Xiao Lei..." Han Ye said with a sigh. "And anyone whose intentions are unclear yet is a danger to you, and it's even more important that I'm kept up to date with it. Yoon can't possibly follow you everywhere, and sometimes, I need you to tell me things yourself, so that I can arrange your security team properly." 

"Han Ye..." 

"Xiao Lei, I don't mind knowing about all these things from another person, but I would like to hear them from you. I want to talk about your days and what have you been doing. I want to hear all the happy things, and all the sad things, and just..." He looked at her with the passionate gaze of a lover as he continued, "I just want to hear everything..." 

Xiao Lei gulped. "It's not fair to say those things while looking at me like that," she complained as she lowered her gaze before her body burned up from his gaze. "I really didn't think that it's important... I'll tell you about everything next time." 

Han Ye placed his chin on her head and said with a somewhat apologetic tone, "I'm sorry if I sounded too pushy... It's just that..."

"It's fine," Xiao Lei reassured him. She reached up with a hand and when he found his forehead, she patted it gently. "I guessed it had been a while for me... I used to talk to Yunjie about everything, but ever since he... Anyway, I'm no longer alone now, right? I don't have to deal with everything by myself now..." 

"Erm..." Han Ye nodded. He looked down at her and leaned closer. "You have me now..." 

And without any warning, he kissed her. 

Xiao Lei's eyes went wide slightly at his sudden kiss, but she then slowly closed her eyes once she stopped fighting against her desire. 

And when she kissed back, Han Ye was the one taken aback by surprise. He did not know what came into him and why he suddenly found the bravery to kiss her despite knowing that she might reject him, but he was glad that he did. 

When they finally parted, Han Ye couldn't stop smiling. 

"Stop it!" Xiao Lei blushed and turned her face slightly away. 

"You're pretty sweet..." he whispered to her ears.

"Stop it!" Xiao Lei warned as she glared at him. When he did not stop grinning, she covered her face like a young maiden and groaned loudly. 

"Hey..."

"What?" she snapped. 

"Don't attack me when you sleep over at my place tonight..." Han Ye joked while wiggling his eyebrows, even though he wanted more than nothing for her to attack him. In fact, he wanted Xiao Lei to attack and ravish him as much as she could. 

Xiao Lei glared at him, wondering if she should just stay at home tonight. She almost canceled their plan when the car suddenly stopped. 

"We are outside your apartment, Mr. Han, Ms. Xiao," Assistant Yoon's voice came from behind the blinder.

Upon hearing her, Xiao Lei growled slightly at Han Ye before getting out from the car. 

"We are living next to each other! Why are you trying to run?" Han Ye called out, but Xiao Lei merely turned around and stuck her tongue out at him before running into the building. Han Ye chuckled and got down from the car. 

He then looked at Assistant Yoon, who was waiting outside the car now, and asked, "You can get home by yourself?" 

Assistant Yoon nodded. "Please don't worry about me, Mr. Han. If there's nothing else, I should take my leave then."

"Wait..." Han Ye stopped her. "That man, what's his movement?" 

"He didn't leave his house at all, but there's a woman... She always went in and out of the house without any problems. Our men have been following her, and there's nothing suspicious about her at the moment. Most of the time, she would be at the mall either shopping or buying groceries."

Han Ye nodded. He figured that woman was probably that man's woman. "Keep watching them." 

Assistant Yoon nodded. 

"You may leave now," Han Ye dismissed the assistant before getting into the driver seat. He then drove the car to its designated parking before heading back to his own unit. Once he got back to his own unit, he went to Tian Le's room. 

The first thing he saw was Tian Le with his hand in an uncomfortable position, n.a.k.e.d. 

"F*ck!" Han Ye immediately turned around and closed the door behind him. He then shook his head to get the image out of his head. "That kid's is so mature I forgot that he's still a teenager going through his hormonal changes..." Han Ye slapped himself on the forehead a couple of times as he tried to stop thinking about what he just saw.
