CHAPTER 235: CHAPTER 235: IS THIS HOW YOU THANK ME?

The door not far away opened, and Lan Shan walked out of the room, looked up, and was stunned by the scene in front of her.

She quickly retreated back into the room.

She hid by the door and watched for a while, making sure they hadn’t noticed her before breathing a sigh of relief and gently closing the door.

...

After about four or five minutes, Beichen Rui turned off the hair dryer, unplugged it, and put it on the other side.

"Alright..." He said, handing her the comb.

Ye Xinluo reached out to take the comb, brushed her hair through once, and said, "Thank you."

"No problem."

Noticing Ye Xinluo’s unusual expression, he couldn’t help but ask, "Why is your face so red?"

"Is it?"

She touched her face, and it really was very hot. Not wanting him to know about her wild thoughts just now, she casually found an excuse.

"Maybe the hair dryer’s temperature was too hot. Anyway, you should rest early."

Having said that, she turned and wanted to run. She had only taken two steps when Beichen Rui reached out and grabbed her wrist, gently pulling her back.

Ye Xinluo’s whole body uncontrollably fell backwards, and the next second, a faint scent of men’s cologne hit her face.

"Are you just going to leave like this?" Beichen Rui’s voice came from above her head, magnetic and husky.

Ye Xinluo was stunned, "It’s getting late, you should rest early."

She was about to stand up, but his hand held onto her arm firmly, making it impossible to break free. After a while, Beichen Rui loosened his grip a little, turning her body to face him.

He spoke with a light tone, "From now on, you will take care of Jingxi."

"Huh? What?"

She couldn’t believe what she heard. From the moment Beichen Rui knew she was Jingxi’s mommy, she wanted to bring this up, but hadn’t dared to.

"What, you don’t want to?" Beichen Rui raised an eyebrow.

"No." Ye Xinluo quickly shook her head. How could she not want to? She was thrilled.

"Then Jingxi will stay here from now on, or you can move to my place."

"Jingxi should stay here!" Ye Xinluo quickly said.

"Alright. Jingxi will stay here from now on..."

And me...

The last sentence from Beichen Rui was left unsaid. He looked at the small woman in front of him and smiled gently.

"Than... thank you..."

Ye Xinluo didn’t realize she had already jumped into the carefully laid trap he set...

"Is that how you thank me?" Beichen Rui raised an eyebrow.

"Then how should I thank..."

Before Ye Xinluo finished her sentence, her words automatically faded out.

She looked in disbelief at the man so close to her, pushed a few times with no obvious response, got a bit annoyed, and in a moment of frustration, closed her eyes and stomped on his foot.

Beichen Rui let go of her arm in pain, "Such a temper?"

"You did something excessive first!"

"How was I excessive?" He asked her with a playful smile.

Ye Xinluo blushed under his intense gaze, lowered her head slightly. Clearly, he was at fault, yet the way he put it, it seemed like she was in the wrong.

After a few seconds, she raised her head and looked at him unwillingly, straightening her back to argue, "You... who told you to suddenly do that to me... If I don’t stomp on you, who else should I stomp on!"

"Do what??"

Clearly wanting to explain but not knowing how made her look adorably clueless, and Beichen Rui simply loved that silly side of her.

"Ding dong..."
