When they got closer, Ye Manni realized that the person sitting on the sofa had short hair, and she couldn't be an aunt at first glance.

Ye Manni's first reaction was that the house was broken into?

But which thief is so daring to invade illegally and watch TV openly?
Ye Manni frowned and looked at her back, then slowed down her pace.

Just when she was guessing who the person sitting on the sofa was.

The person with his back to her suddenly turned his head and gave her a gentle smile.

"Why did you come back so late?"

The man's voice was deep and refined, very gentle.

Ye Manni, however, looked at Ye Jianming in disbelief with her pupils dilated as if she had heard the whisper of a demon.

The bouquet in his hand fell heavily on the ground, and the petals were messed up.

Ye Manni's legs were so weak that she could hardly stand, and she instinctively wanted to kneel down.

She pinched her palm tightly, and the severe pain barely recalled a trace of reason and self-esteem.

Ye Manni propped her other hand on the edge of the table, supporting her precarious body, wanting to smile at Ye Jianming.

It's a pity that the fear in her eyes was too deep, and her body was instinctively afraid of Ye Jianming.

Not only did there not appear to be a smile on his face, but it looked ferocious and distorted.

Ye Jianming took a deep look at her and turned his head.

It was as if he was really just saying hello to her casually.

After Ye Jianming turned his head, Ye Manni not only did not relax, but trembled even more.

She was gripping the edge of the table desperately, her knuckles were too hard to look pale.

Even so, she still couldn't say a word.

The living room fell into a deathly silence, and the atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating.

Ye Manni closed her eyes, silently cheering herself up in her heart.

After a long while, she opened her mouth reluctantly and squeezed out a word "um" with difficulty.

After the words fell, she looked at Ye Jianming anxiously, almost losing control of her body in fear.

The window was open, and the night wind blew in. Ye Manni was cold all over, and she only felt a chill all over her body.

Amidst her nervousness, fear, and trepidation, Ye Jianming finally spoke again.

"What are you doing in a daze? Come and do it."

Hearing these words, Ye Manni felt as if she had been pardoned.

Like a wind-up robot, he walked up to Ye Jianming obediently, and knelt down with a plop.

There was a thick carpet beside the sofa, but she moved too hard, and sharp pain soon came from her knee.

The pain brought back Ye Manni's sanity.

Seeing herself kneeling beside Ye Jianming again without dignity, Ye Manni's eyes flashed a strong sense of disgust and self-mockery.

She closed her eyes to hide the emotion in her eyes, raised her hand with difficulty, and carefully poured Ye Jianming a cup of tea.

Taking advantage of the situation, he forced himself to get up and sat down on the sofa opposite Ye Jianming.

After Ye Manni came over, Ye Jianming's peripheral vision fell on her.

Seeing Ye Manni sitting down on the sofa opposite at this moment, Ye Jianming still had that elegant and gentle look on his face.

In fact, a hint of displeasure flashed in the depths of his black eyes.

The fingers holding the teacup tapped lightly on the teacup.

Like Ye Jianming, Ye Manni was quietly observing Ye Jianming's reaction.

She had figured it out a long time ago, she had to learn to resist.

Ye Jianming had to know that she was no longer the person who was at the mercy of others.

She has confidence and backing. Although she can't say that she can tear herself apart with Ye Jianming completely, at least she can get along and talk to Ye Jianming as a dignified person.

So she tried her best to resist Ye Jianming.

Instead of following Ye Jianming's instructions to do things.

Seeing Ye Jianming's obvious displeasure, Ye Manni's knees almost instinctively softened, and she was about to sit back on her knees.

Her hands pressed tightly against her knees, her muscle memory.

He reluctantly smiled at Ye Jianming.

"Why did you come back suddenly? According to the time mentioned before, isn't there still a few days left?"

Ye Jianming put down his teacup upon hearing this, and looked at Ye Manni meaningfully.

"Why, you don't want me to come back?"

"how come!"

Ye Manni instinctively flattered Ye Jianming, "I'm very happy that you can come back early."

That's what she said, but in fact the smile on her face was very forced, and her tone was trembling, not like she was happy, but more like fear and panic.

Ye Jianming was very satisfied with Ye Manni's reaction, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"How are you doing in China during this time?"

When Ye Manni heard this, the alarm bells rang out.

She didn't dare to detour with Ye Jianming for too long, for fear that Ye Jianming would use her for something again.

He took the initiative to get straight to the point and said: "It went well. I haven't found a suitable opportunity to tell you before. In fact, Lu Xiuwen, the current ruler of the Lu family, and I are getting married soon."

As she spoke, she smiled shyly, and raised her hand to touch her belly.

"And, I'm already pregnant with his child."

Ye Manni said this on purpose, hoping that Ye Jianming would know that she is now pregnant.

It is impossible to use your body to exchange resources and contacts for him like before.

The most important thing is that the child in her belly belongs to the Lu family, even if Ye Jianming wants to make up his mind, he still has to take a look at the face of the Lu family.

Ye Manni thought that Ye Jianming would be furious when he found out.

She was even ready for Ye Jianming to get angry.

However, Ye Jianming just took a deep look at her, and then moved his gaze down to her lower abdomen, and smiled inexplicably.

Seeing Ye Jianming's reaction, Ye Manni felt chills all over her body, and looked at Ye Jianming with vigilance and fear.

She knows Ye Jianming too well, and Ye Jianming looks like this every time he plots against someone.

Sure enough, the next second, Ye Jianming said, "Son, is it from the Lu family?"

His voice was full of sarcasm, and he even chuckled slightly after he finished speaking.

People who don't know him will only think that Ye Jianming is very happy.

In fact, Ye Manni saw deep despair and panic in her eyes.

What Ye Jianming said was because he didn't believe that the child in her belly belonged to the Lu family.

Although this was true, Ye Manni regarded this child as a lifeline.

Unexpectedly, Ye Jianming shattered her original plan with just one sentence.

Ye Manni had no other way out, so she could only bite the bullet and nod her head, affirming, "Yes, he is a child of the Lu family."

Ye Jianming withdrew his gaze and stood up suddenly.

Seeing this, Ye Manni curled up reflexively, and immediately raised her hands to cover her head.

She looked at Ye Jianming's leather shoes tremblingly.

Seeing the pair of leather shoes getting closer and closer, she was shaking all over, and even her teeth began to creak.

Just when she closed her eyes, ready to bear the next beating.

The expected beating did not come, but a warm touch came from the top of the head.

In the next second, Ye Jianming's gentle and refined voice sounded in his ears.

"It's getting late, go to bed early, and accompany Dad to meet a friend tomorrow."

Then, the sound of leather shoes stepping on the marble floor gradually faded away.
