His gaze lingered on the dining table for a few seconds . Frustration and self-accusation filled him up .
Without changing out of his shoes, he entered the front porch and looked towards the sofa .
The small girl was curled up in a corner of the sofa . If he didn’t look closely, he might have missed her .
“Yueyue,” Ming Ansheng called out as he rushed over to her . He bent over and scooped her up .
It woke her up .
Su Yue sleepily opened her eyes . She pouted when she saw the familiar, handsome face . “Uncle Ming, why did you turn off your phone?”
It was as if she was sleep-talking . She closed her eyes and had no further movement .
Ming Ansheng’s heart ached . He couldn’t hold in his longing for her . His… love for her .
He hugged her tightly in his arms, and he kissed her smooth face with his soft lips . “Yueyue, will you wake up to have a candlelit dinner with me?”
Su Yue was already in a peaceful sleep, and she found Ming Ansheng annoying . She pushed him away and said, “No . I want to sleep, don’t disturb me . ”
“Yueyue, eat with me . Or else I won’t let you sleep . ” He placed her down and crushed his huge body on hers .
She wouldn’t be able to sleep under his weight no matter how tired she was .
Su Yue opened her eyes and frowned at the man who was crushing her .
” Hmph . You’re back so late, the food has turned cold . Everything has turned cold . My heart has turned cold . ”
She then pouted and looked away from him in anger .
Ming Ansheng held her face in her hands and smiled . “It’s my fault . I’m sorry . I’ll punish myself with three shots, alright?”
Su Yue refuted angrily . “Three shots aren’t enough . You have to drink one bottle . ”
Three shots were too lenient a punishment . She had spent the entire day preparing for this . Her initially adrenaline-pumping heart was now cold .
And the wounds on her hand were still hurting .
Ming Ansheng frowned . He looked at her unsurely . “Are you sure you want me to drink one bottle?”
He had a sly expression .
Su Yue couldn’t tell what he was thinking . She remained adamant . “It has to be one bottle . You’re not allowed to negotiate, or else you must drink two bottles . ”
“Alright . ” Ming Ansheng nodded . He patted her head lightly . “Little one, don’t regret later . ”
Su Yue snorted . ” Hmph , why would I regret?”
Ming Ansheng grinned slyly and didn’t reply to her . He leaned downwards and kissed her on the lips .
He bent over and carried her, carrying her to the dining table . “You have to eat with me . ”
To get the effect of a candlelit dinner, Su Yue only arranged two chairs at the ends of the table and placed the remaining chairs elsewhere .
Ming Ansheng pulled out a chair and placed her down on it .
He then kissed her forehead . “Darling, I’ll go wash my hands . ”
He stood straight and walked over to the washroom .
Su Yue watched him leave and froze . What did Uncle Ming call her just now?
‘Darling?’
She blushed and got goosebumps .
Ming Ansheng emerged from the washroom . He saw her staring in his direction with a blush on her face, but he didn’t know what had made her so shy .
