Chapter 474: Chapter 473: (3 more updates)

Ye Tian could clearly feel the change in Xu Niannian’s attitude towards him, eyes cast down, concealing endless darkness.

"Would you stay with me for a moment?" he asked.

Xu Niannian, who was about to leave, paused her footsteps, looking puzzled at Ye Tian, "Mr. Ye, is there something else you need?"

"Explain the delicacies you’ve made for me," requested Ye Tian.

Xu Niannian thought he was asking her to accompany him again, but to her surprise, he merely wanted a description of the food.

In the shop, with Hu Yue by her side, Xu Niannian hesitated only for an instant before agreeing.

She began to explain to him the process of making the Liurong Bao.

Of course, due to the recipe, Xu Niannian’s explanation was more about the concept of the food rather than the detailed steps of the recipe.

While explaining, the gleam in Xu Niannian’s bright eyes sparkled with joy, radiant and captivating.

As she spoke, her eyebrows would excitedly twitch, her voice soft and delicate. Ye Xiangtian sat before her, elbows propped on the table, hands clasped together.

With a gaze akin to admiring a piece of art, he watched her quietly.

Such a beauty, like a collection of jade, as pure as crystalline water, blooming like a flower.

Ye Tian’s gaze at her was tinged with a pathological possessiveness.

A woman who fit perfectly into all of his fantasies was, unbelievably, Jin Yu’s wife.

At that thought, his clasped hands slowly lowered to the table, gently tapping, once and then again.

Even the most perfect thing would become imperfect once tainted by something displeasing.

As flowers bloom, so can they wither.

His finger tapped lightly on the table, finally picking up a tissue nearby, and delivered it to Xu Niannian in a leisurely fashion, "You’ve got some oil on your hands."

"Ah? Really?" Xu Niannian looked up, her eyes bright as stars. She smiled and handed him the chopsticks instead of taking the tissue right away.

"Mr. Ye, you try it first," she said, the brightness in her eyes too dazzling, too warm, forming a stark contrast to his darkness.

Ye Xiangtian looked down at the chopsticks offered and kept tapping lightly on the table with his other hand.

"Thank you."

He took the chopsticks, and Xu Niannian also reached for the tissue he was holding, but he suddenly withdrew his hand and casually threw it into the trash can by the table.

"Sorry, I accidentally handed you the one I’d used on my mouth. You use a clean one."

Xu Niannian didn’t pay much attention to this small detail.

Urging him to eat, "Uncle... Ah, no, Mr. Ye, please try it and see how it tastes."

Ye Tian didn’t know why she always nearly called him the wrong name. Perhaps, she mistook him for someone else.

This thought subconsciously made Ye Tian frown.

He calmly finished the Liurong Bao that Xu Niannian offered him, which, apart from being delicious, contained a hint of warmth.

The darkness in Ye Tian’s eyes seemed to recede somewhat, and he calmly gave his verdict, "This is the most delicious food I’ve ever had. Thank you."

"You’re welcome," Xu Niannian returned with a polite smile.

Ye Tian gazed blankly at her smiling face for a while before he left and gently paused at the door.

Leaving behind a cryptic comment, "The last time!"

As soon as Ye Tian left, Xiaochun, the gossip, came running over, whispering about the latest tidbits. Xu Niannian was quite impressed by Xiaochun’s imagination.

Hu Yue, however, approached, looking thoughtfully at Ye Tian’s retreating figure and remarked, "He’s very strange."

Really?

Xu Niannian thought so, too.

The Uncle Ye she knew in the future was indeed a very strange man.

But that was no longer important.

In this life, Uncle Ye was not much older than she was.

Now that she was married, even if Uncle Ye was the benefactor of her past life, she still needed to maintain proper boundaries.

So whether he was strange or not had nothing to do with her.

Xu Niannian stayed in the shop for a while. When several customers came to settle the bill, they couldn’t wait to ask her about the opening of the restaurant, promising they would definitely support it.

Xu Niannian politely smiled back, saying that after giving birth, she would promote it at the milk tea shop.

After seeing off several batches of customers, a man left a landline phone number when paying, "I hope we have the opportunity to collaborate in the future."

As to what the collaboration involved, the man didn’t say.

The man was none other than Zhao Zhigang.

Xu Niannian kept the piece of paper with the phone number, not asking much.

The man hadn’t specified anything, indicating that even if there was a collaboration, he didn’t plan on it any time soon.

Once back home, just after freshening up, Xu Niannian felt a few kicks from the little one inside her belly.

The baby was already more than five months, nearly six, and now, like a pregnant woman about to give birth, her belly was exceptionally large.

Xu Niannian touched her stomach and talked to the baby, "Baby, are you missing daddy?"

The baby in her belly then kicked twice more.

Xu Niannian interpreted this as an automatic "yes."

Because it was two kicks.

Embracing that thought, Xu Niannian fell asleep happily.

In the middle of the night, someone gently entered the room, hugging Xu Niannian from behind, and she instinctively turned around to embrace the man, snuggling into his chest.

Jin Yu affectionately kissed her face, careful not to wake her, he dared not kiss her more.

Finally, his efforts were not in vain; he had found a clue about Ye Xiangtian.

And he had successfully narrowed down the range of people involved.

Extracting him was no longer like finding a needle in a haystack.
