But Ming Ansheng interpreted her words and bitter tone in a different light . He looked over at her and flashed a wicked smile . “You’re jealous?”
Su Yue frowned and coldly smiled . “Why would I be?”
She blushed .
Ming Ansheng replied, “I only bought gifts for Xiaojiao . I didn’t buy any for you, so you’re jealous . ”
He sounded certain .
“Tch . ” Su Yue rolled her eyes at him . “I’m not a child . Who cares about gifts?”
Then she straightened up and walked to the sofa as though it didn’t bother her .
“That’s true . ” Ming Ansheng nodded and continued, “I knew that a regular gift wouldn’t be able to satisfy you…”
“Hmph!”
Su Yue suddenly snorted, and it had interrupted him .
She sounded cold and arrogant .
She seemed to suggest: ‘You’re right . ’
Su Yue walked over and sat down beside him—she appeared calm .
Ming Ansheng flashed a gentle smiled . “Seems like I was right . So, do you like this New Year’s gift?”
He raised his eyebrows at her .
Su Yue looked at him in confusion . “What gift?”
Where was it?
As she asked that, she looked around . There were only a few things in the huge box . She could see its entire contents with just one glance .
“It’s right beside you,” Ming Ansheng whispered in her ear .
His warm breath seductively fanned her ear .
Huh? Su Yue stared at him for quite a while before it dawned on her . But she wasn’t certain . “Is it… you?”
They stared into each other’s eyes, faces mere inches apart .
They could clearly feel each other’s breath .
Su Yue’s heart started beating wildly, and she blushed . She swallowed her saliva .
The man’s gaze was so heated that it seemed to ignite her entire body . She couldn’t take it any longer, and so she inched backward .
However, the man leaned in closer to her .
In a way, the distance between them remained the same .
“Uncle… Uncle Ming…” Su Yue finally tore herself away from his piercing gaze and evaded eye contact .
“Hmm?” Ming Ansheng’s voice sounded slightly nasal, and it was exceptionally charming .
He leaned in even closer and closed the gap between them even more .
The tips of their noses or their lips would come into contact if Su Yue made the slightest movement .
Her heart started beating even faster .
She clenched and released her fists repeatedly .
Her palms were sweaty, even her back was sweating . She bit her lip, and she was frustrated that she had forgotten to remove her outer coat when she entered earlier .
But it didn’t seem like a matter that would be solved had she taken her coat off…
Ming Ansheng stared at her and remained silent . He pressed his lips and smiled faintly . There was a wicked gleam in his eye .
“Ahh…” Su Yue’s elbow was getting numb, and she wanted to move it slightly .
But unfortunately, she fell back the moment she bent her elbow .
“Be careful,” Ming Ansheng reminded her gently as he caught her by the waist .
He caught her just before her back came into contact with the sofa .
