Chapter 515: Chapters 552-553, are they sincere?

Hua Huiyue raised her eyebrows, displeased, "What now? I haven’t even settled in, a night hasn’t passed, I haven’t finished my meal, and you already want to send me away?"

Fang Yi quickly replied, "Not at all, you misunderstand."

Hua Huiyue said, "It’s good if I misunderstood. Don’t just stand there, go and make up the bed for me."

Fang Yi asked blankly, "Make up the bed? For what?"

Hua Huiyue said matter-of-factly, "Of course, to stay here. Do you really want to send me away?"

Of course, he couldn’t send his mother-in-law away. No matter what, he had to fulfill his duty as a son-in-law. However, Fang Yi felt that his mother-in-law was a bit too unreasonable and overbearing. He and Bai Jingjing weren’t even married yet, and she was already showing no respect. If he and Bai Jingjing were married, who knows what Hua Huiyue would do.

But Fang Yi thought about it and decided that since he loved Bai Jingjing, not Hua Huiyue, he would endure it for the time being.

As for Hua Huiyue... though she was charmingly seductive, Fang Yi dared not harbor any improper thoughts about his mother-in-law.

While Hua Huiyue was eating noodles, Fang Yi went into his bedroom to tidy up the bed. Luckily, Xia Ziqi cleaned his beddings every few days, so the bed was clean and in good order. If Hua Huiyue was not satisfied, then there was nothing Fang Yi could do.

After finishing her meal, Hua Huiyue wanted to take a bath. Fang Yi hastily prepared a towel for her. As for pajamas, when Fang Yuying had come over last time, she had bought a few sets, which now came in handy.

However, when Hua Huiyue took the ladies’ pajamas, she gave Fang Yi a peculiar look, her expression mysterious. Fortunately, she didn’t probe any further, much to Fang Yi’s immense relief.

After her bath, Hua Huiyue went to the bedroom to rest. Fang Yi waited in the living room for a full half-hour, turned off the lights, and then quietly left the living room to knock on Xia Ziqi’s door.

Just as Fang Yi had stepped out, the bedroom door opened, and Hua Huiyue emerged in a light blue nightgown. She had a meaningful smile on her lips as she murmured to herself, "My son-in-law, it seems, is not very honest."

Fang Yi knocked on the door for quite a while before it finally opened, revealing Xia Ziqi.

Xia Ziqi rubbed her eyes. She was wearing a pink silk one-piece pajama with slightly disheveled black hair, looking lazy and inadvertently revealing a lot of her body, which set Fang Yi’s blood racing.

But seeing Xia Ziqi’s sleepy eyes, Fang Yi sighed and eventually refrained from misbehaving.

"Fang Yi, why... why are you here?" Once she recognized it was Fang Yi, Xia Ziqi was puzzled. In the middle of the night, what was he doing here? Surely he didn’t intend to...

"I want to sleep with you," Fang Yi said with a smile.

His words confirmed what Xia Ziqi had been thinking.

But before Xia Ziqi could react, Fang Yi had already entered, scooped her up around the waist in a princess carry, and, lifting his foot to close the door behind him, he quickly rushed towards Xia Ziqi’s bedroom.

Xia Ziqi was fully awake now, her heart beating fast with nervousness. However, after Fang Yi carried a tense Xia Ziqi into her bedroom, what dumbfounded her was that after setting her on the bed, he didn’t take off his clothes. Instead, he simply got on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and that was it.

He did nothing; there was no lustfulness and no impulse, which left Xia Ziqi in utter nervousness. She had thought they were going to have sex, but this guy ended up doing nothing.

Just as Xia Ziqi was lost in her wild thoughts, she suddenly met Fang Yi’s gaze. Fang Yi had not yet closed his eyes to sleep, and meeting his gaze like that made Xia Ziqi somewhat shy.

"Are you afraid I might do something to you?" Fang Yi asked, smiling.

At that moment, their faces were only a little distance apart, as if a kiss could happen at any time.

But Fang Yi didn’t kiss her, instead, he raised his hand and gently swept away a lock of hair that fell over Xia Ziqi’s eyes. Because of his action, Xia Ziqi involuntarily pursed her lips.

"Alright, sleep now," Fang Yi said with a slight smile, suddenly pulling Xia Ziqi into his arms by her waist.

However, apart from that gesture, Fang Yi made no further move, not taking advantage of the situation.

Although Fang Yi knew that if he made a move now, Xia Ziqi wouldn’t say anything, it would have been disrespectful towards Xia Ziqi. He was domineering, yes, but what harm was there in being gentle for once?

Fang Yi closed his eyes as if he had truly fallen asleep, but Xia Ziqi, on the other hand, found herself unable to sleep. She kept her eyes wide open, gazing at the man whose face was less than ten centimeters from hers in the dim light. In the faint glow, his distinct facial features appeared sharp and sculpted.

Suddenly, Xia Ziqi discovered she had fallen for this face. Touching it should be fine, right?

Hmm, he was asleep; she should be able to touch it.

With that thought, Xia Ziqi cautiously extended her hand and gently stroked his face, gradually becoming mesmerized. She didn’t know if Fang Yi could feel her touch, but she thoroughly enjoyed the sensation.

This man had already engraved deep marks in her heart, indelible. Remembering all the moments she had spent with him, a wave of inexplicable happiness surged within her.

With these memories filling her mind, she could not stop thinking about them.

And so, as Xia Ziqi lay there watching the sharply contoured face of the man in the darkness, thinking about other things, she eventually drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, birds chirped and the weather was cool. The bedroom door flew open as a little girl burst in, shouting, "Mom, wake up! It’s time to get up... Oh, Uncle Fang, why are you in Mom’s bed?!"

When Fang Yi opened his eyes, he saw Xia Ziqi with a flustered look. Then he turned and saw a little girl standing by the bed, staring at him with big watery eyes.

"Cai Cai?!"

Fang Yi was initially startled, then he figured it out and sat up. The quilt was no longer on him; Xia Ziqi had pulled it all over herself.

"Uncle Fang!" Cai Cai spoke up.

"Yes!" Fang Yi covered his face, feeling a bit ashamed.

Creeping into Xia Ziqi’s bed in the dead of night, Xia Ziqi herself didn’t mind, but being caught by Cai Cai made Fang Yi wonder what his daughter would think. Surely, she wouldn’t chase him out with a stick, would she?

"Uncle Fang, what should I say to you..." Cai Cai sighed in a mock adult, mature way, making Fang Yi feel as if she sounded quite like Lin Lin.

"Aware of the fault and willing to mend, Cai Cai, I didn’t mean to," Fang Yi said.

"Yes, Cai Cai, your Uncle Fang didn’t do it on purpose, please go out first!" Xia Ziqi also felt shy and wanted her daughter to leave first.

"Mom, I need to get back justice for you!"

Cai Cai was stubborn and looked at Fang Yi, demanding, "Uncle Fang, you have to give me a definite answer, tell me, are your feelings for mom genuine?"
