Ye Xi's back was stiff, the nerves in his brain seemed to have been stretched and stretched by a pair of big hands.
Ye Xi realized that she couldn't bear his hands touching her stomach.
She stood up like a frightened hedgehog. The white and tender skin on her face was shining, and her tiny blue veins were faintly discernible.
Ye Xi's eyes trembled uneasily, she looked at the man who was holding onto her large palm tightly, and spoke with a trembling voice, "B-husband, have you eaten di
er yet?"
What answered her was the man's silence. He looked at her double pupils that were dark and heavy, and his elegant face was cold and chilly.
Ye Xi saw that there were veins bulging in his jade-like forehead.
Her heart started beating wildly as well.
Ye Xi pinched the fingertips of his other hand, and the back of his neck became drenched with cold sweat under the man's strict gaze.
It was unknown whether it was because she was afraid of this cold and silent man or because of some other emotion pulling at her, but Ye Xi's narrowed eyes turned completely red. Her little forehead was tightly knitted in sadness, and her gently lifted pointy chin was also faintly trembling.
How pitiful she looked!
Like a rabbit caught by a hunter!
The man's thick and long eyelashes drooped slightly, following that, his long and slender body leaned on the back of the sofa tiredly, while Ye Xi was still carried by him.
And he did not seem to be ready to let go!
Ye Xi's eyelashes trembled helplessly. That thick fan made of ink that looked like fake eyelashes seemed like it was going to be shook off by her in the next moment.
She looked at the man's handsome face, his eyes quivering like amber beads stained with blood.
After the two of them had been together for the night, anyone could feel the weight on their shoulders.
Above their heads, there was no longer a bright ceiling. Instead, there was a dark and gloomy sky.
"Did you eat it?"
Suddenly, the man opened his mouth. His voice was cold and his appearance elegant.
Ye Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at the man silently.
The man lifted his long black eyelashes and stared at Ye Xi with calm eyes for a few seconds. Then, he stood up from the sofa and walked towards the dining table with Ye Xi in his hands.
Walking over, Huo Yaoting made Ye Xi sit on the white high chair beside the dining table. Slowly and elegantly, his slender white fingers untied the sleeves of his black shirt, and skillfully rolled up the sleeves of his left and right hands three times, revealing his two strong, copper arms.
Ye Xi watched as he picked up the cold dishes on the table and headed towards the kitchen.
With his eyes wide open, Ye Xi was about to get down from the chair.
"Don't move!"
Huo Yaoting walked out of the kitchen and pressed on her shoulder, then said indifferently, "I'll do it!"
Ye Xi swallowed down his saliva, and looked at him with some hesitation in his eyes.
Huo Yaoting patted her head as usual, and then placed a plate of food in the kitchen.
Ye Xi blinked, he turned and stared straight ahead, he said softly, "Do you?"
Huo Yaoting stopped walking, turned and shrugged at Ye Xi, then smiled: "Underestimating your husband?"
The corner of Ye Xi's lips curled up into a smile. His eyes were in a trance for a moment as he pursed his lips and lightly shook his head.
Huo Yaoting's gaze turned deeper as he turned around and brought the dishes into the kitchen.
Ye Xi turned and looked at the man who was skillfully moving around the kitchen like a tree, his mind a blank.
Ten minutes later, the reheated dishes were served.
Ye Xi and Huo Yaoting sat opposite each other. Huo Yaoting was the same as usual, always taking care of Ye Xi first as if he was taking care of his young daughter.
So when Huo Yaoting repeatedly brought the kitchen cloth that Ye Xi liked to eat into her bowl, and always reminded her to drink milk after Ye Xi ate a few mouthfuls, the discomfort in Ye Xi's heart was like an inflatable ball, inflated to the point of almost exploding!
Finally, just as Huo Yaoting was about to put the dishes back into Ye Xi's bowl, Ye Xi took the initiative and dodged the question.
The atmosphere had suddenly frozen due to this small movement of Ye Xi's.
Ye Xi was also stu
ed for a moment. Her pupils shrank in panic and her eyelids drooped down, not daring to look at the man in front of her.
Huo Yaoting stretched out his hand and stopped in mid air for thirty seconds before withdrawing it as if nothing had happened. He asked softly, "Are you full?"
Ye Xi's brows moved slightly as he nodded his head.
Huo Yaoting frowned, he put down the chopsticks in his hand, raised his head and stared coldly at Ye Xi, "Ye Xi!"
Ye Xi's body trembled, and he suddenly raised his head to look at him.
This was the second time he had used such a serious and cold tone to call out her name!
The center of Huo Yaoting's brows was tightly locked, her thin lips pressed into an ice-cold straight line, and her pair of eyes that were staring at Ye Xi was calm and deep, "Do you remember what you promised me?"
"?" Ye Xi's pure-white forehead wrinkled, and her voice was choked with sobs that even she hadn't expected, "Then do you remember what you promised me?"
Huo Yaoting's eyes flashed, "Everything I promised you, I have never forgotten."
"Did you lie to me?" Ye Xi stared at him, and laughed bitterly in her heart, she did not expect her "interrogation" to start like this.
Well, he had to ask!
Huo Yaoting's jaw dropped slightly as he stared at Ye Xi with a cold, pitch-black gaze.
Ye Xi was panicking, he secretly pinched his fingers, but did not dodge and stubbornly stared at him, and asked again: "Have you lied to me before?"
Huo Yaoting's determined face tensed up one by one, "What if I said I had?"
Have I?
Ye Xi's lips were slightly pale, her eyes were bright as stars from the water that had mixed into the light, as she stared straight at Huo Yaoting, "You, what did you lie to me about?"
Huo Yaoting concentrated on Ye Xi's pale little face, a tinge of emotion flashed past his eyes, his tall body stood up from the chair, and approached Ye Xi with every step.
Ye Xi shook his head hard and got down from the stool. He looked at her angrily and then sobbed in a hoarse voice, "Can you not get close to me?"
Huo Yaoting's footsteps stalled, and a trace of pain flashed past his tightly shut eyes. But it only lasted for a moment, and his pair of eyes that were deep in lacquer once again quieted down like the night.
