Xu Xiu suppressed the smile on his face and looked at Shen Xingyi who was already in a state of panic.

She was not stupid, so it was impossible for her not to notice Shen Xingyi's overt and covert advances on her.

But she hasn't figured out how to treat this "good" yet.

Because of a series of reasons including work, she simply put it aside and did not deal with it for the time being.

Shen Xingyi didn't seem to be the aggressive type, so she decided to follow her heart.

Xu Xiu thought that she probably didn't dislike Shen Xingyi, otherwise she wouldn't allow him to keep crossing the line.

Now seeing that he seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, Xu Xiu asked directly.

She approached step by step, with a hint of smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, staring straight at Shen Xingyi.

The moment Shen Xingyi lowered his eyes and looked at her, his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

Xu Xiu's heart moved, she raised her chin slightly, kissed the corner of his lips, and then left quickly.

It was as if a weak electric current spread at the moment of contact.

Seeing Shen Xingyi freeze instantly, with shock evident in his sparkling phoenix eyes, she blinked deliberately, as if thinking about something:

"Could it be that I misunderstood?"

As he said this, he was about to step away.

As soon as her body moved slightly, Shen Xingyi suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.

His heart felt like it was about to explode. Shen Xingyi had only one thought at this moment, which was not to let her leave.

He held Xu Xiu's neck with one hand to prevent her from escaping, and with the other hand he tightly grasped her waist and pressed her towards him, and kissed her lips roughly but forcefully.

Xu Xiu was suddenly embraced by him. After she pressed against his chest, she could even hear his exaggeratedly rapid heartbeat, and her breathing also became faster.

Her lips were so painful from the kiss that Shen Xingyi didn't even want to give her a chance to breathe.

Oops, too much excitement.

Xu Xiu tilted her head slightly and wrinkled the shirt on his chest with difficulty. The next moment, footsteps sounded behind her.

Xu Xiu woke up instantly and used a little force on his hands to push Shen Xingyi away a little.

Shen Xingyi slowly opened his eyes, his sparkling eyes were filled with strong lust, which made people tremble with fear.

He was dissatisfied and wanted to come closer again, but Xu Xiu quickly dodged.

Seeing that his brows were slightly furrowed in confusion, Xu Xiu pushed and signaled him to turn back.

Behind Shen Xingyi, a little kid was seen wearing Ultraman's pajamas and running towards the two of them in a pair of monster slippers.

Shen Xingyi froze, watching the little kid running over, squeezing in between them and hugging Xu Xiu's legs:

"Mom, the fur on my new pajamas is so comfortable."

As he spoke, he rubbed the hair on his shoulders in Xu Xiu's hand.

Xu Xiu cleared his throat and touched the tuft of hair in cooperation:

“It’s really comfortable.”

She raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Xingyi in reproach.

At this moment, Shen Xingyi's dark eyes were obviously depressed.

His violently beating heart had not yet calmed down, and even his hot breathing had not calmed down.

He looked at Xu Xiu who was coaxing the little kid.

At this moment, the corners of Xu Xiu's eyes were slightly red, and there was a faint light in her beautiful pupils. His gaze moved downward, and the pair of lips that were kissed red by him kept attracting his attention.

Shen Xingyi exhaled lightly, suppressing the throbbing in his chest.

He took off his glasses and put them in his trouser pocket, then rubbed the little boy's still slightly wet hair:

"Come on, Dad will check your recent learning results."

"But Dad, it's time to eat."

"There's still some time. It's not too late."

Shen Xingyi pulled the person into the study without further ado.

The little kid was suddenly dragged away for no apparent reason, and looked at Xu Xiu reluctantly.

Xu Xiu finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

She went back to her room to get her pajamas and prepared to wash up first.

During the meal, Shen Xingyi's eyes were always on Xu Xiu. This was the first time he followed his heart and looked at her openly.

Even the little kid noticed the burning gaze, and he tilted his head in confusion:

"Dad, what do you always look at Mom doing?"

Xu Xiu also looked back at Shen Xingyi and raised his eyebrows slightly in confusion.

Shen Xingyi looked at her quietly for a moment, and finally said lightly:

"Your mother is beautiful."

Then he withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and ate in silence.

But there was a hint of inexplicable grievance and depression in his eyes.

The little kid looked at his father and then his mother strangely, as if something was not right, but he couldn't figure it out.

*

After coaxing the little kid to sleep, Shen Xingyi came to Xu Xiu's door.

Thinking back to how Xu Xiu acted as if nothing had happened after the kiss, his heart ached as if it was being gripped by something.

If it weren't for the tingling sensation on his lips, Shen Xingyi would have almost doubted whether the kiss just now was just an illusion.

Why can Xu Xiu be so calm in facing himself, while he is so addicted that he cannot extricate himself?

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The door was soon opened and Xu Xiu appeared.

"what happened?"

Xu Xiu leaned against the door frame and looked at him leisurely.

Shen Xingyi pursed his lips, and when facing her, he couldn't say a word about the distress in his heart.

It took a long time to utter a word:

"Yes."

"what?"

Xu Xiu looked at him puzzledly.

Shen Xingyi explained seriously:

"I do like you."

"……Oh."

After a few seconds of silence, Xu Xiu realized that he had come to answer her on purpose, so he nodded to show that he understood.

Shen Xingyi narrowed his eyes:

"Oh? That's it?"

"if not."

Xu Xiu shrugged slightly, very calmly.

Seeing Shen Xingyi's face gradually darkening and his eyes becoming dangerously dark, Xu Xiu immediately looked behind him and said:

"Little Jean?"

Shen Xingyi turned back subconsciously.

While he was turning sideways, Xu Xiu quickly closed the door.

With a 'bang' sound, Shen Xingyi looked behind him and saw that there was no one there, and realized that he had been deceived.

After looking at Xu Xiu's door in silence for a few seconds, he suddenly curled his lips and smiled.

It doesn't matter. Now that the window paper has been broken, it won't be so easy for her to escape.

There was solid evidence on Xu Lingxia's crime. Perhaps because she knew there was no chance for her to struggle anymore, she confessed everything she had done.

With Mr. Xu in charge, no one could interfere in this matter.

Because Xu Yujia was a mentally ill patient with no behavioral capacity at the time, Xu Lingxia was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment for intentional homicide.

After the news came out, Mr. Xu and his brother's family almost broke up completely.

Even though the Xu family tried their best to conceal these things, they were not able to completely suppress them, and there was a lot of discussion in the business circle of City G.

Although everyone was not very clear about the specific circumstances, they all vaguely knew that Xu Yujia's death was related to Xu Lingxia who was now arrested.

As a result, the Xu family is now beginning to break up.

Fortunately, Xu Junxiao has been able to stabilize the overall situation and prevent the Xu family's business from experiencing too much fluctuation.

After Mr. Xu was discharged from the hospital, his health was no longer as strong as before. Xu Xiu stayed with him for a while before finally leaving.
