Roses in Flames

Seeing Xiao Lin being bombarded with questions by his family, Ye Yuntang was initially worried that he might get impatient, but to her surprise, he remained patient throughout.

Every move he made revealed the refinement that emanated from his very being.

She looked at him, a smile unconsciously curving her lips.

"Xiao Xiao, you must be tired from your journey. There's still some food in the pot, I'll go heat it up for you," Song Xuan said.

Xiao Lin shook his head. "Auntie, there's no need to trouble yourself."

Ye Yuntang looked at Xiao Lin, "I made dumplings, do you want some?"

Xiao Lin looked at Ye Yuntang, "You can make dumplings?"

Ye Yuntang raised an eyebrow. "You underestimate me?"

Ye Mo interjected, "The ugliest wrapping in the house is the one my sister makes."

Ye Yuntang put her hands on her hips and glared at Ye Mo. "You brat, doesn't your sister have any dignity?"

Ye Mo smiled, "But my brother-in-law definitely won't mind."

Xiao Lin narrowed his head. "Yes, I don't mind."

The younger generation immediately started yelling:

"Oh my god, they're showing off their love!"

"So sweet!"

The elders laughed too.

Even with her thick skin, Ye Yuntang couldn't help but blush. "You guys are really annoying."

She ran towards the kitchen.

Looking at Ye Yuntang's feminine demeanor, Song Xuan's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.

She knew in her heart that her daughter had been sensible and strong-willed since she was a child.

No matter what happens, she prefers to shoulder many things on her own.

She didn't even tell her family about such a major event as Fu Shili's affair and divorce.

He shouldered it all alone.

It's not that she's not gentle or delicate; it's just that she only lets down her guard and displays all her strength towards people she trusts completely.

Seeing her so relaxed and dependent in front of Xiao Lin, with undisguised joy in her eyes, Song Xuan felt happy too.

She understood that Xiao Lin cherished her daughter dearly.

The more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him.

Song Xuan smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

very nice.

My daughter has finally met someone who makes her happy.

……

After Ye Yuntang went into the kitchen, she took out the wrapped dumplings and put them into the pot.

Suddenly, my waist tightened.

The man embraced her from behind.

Ye Yuntang looked down at the man's long, slender hand around her waist, and then put all the dumplings she was holding into the pot.

She didn't push the man away; her slender back pressed against his broad, muscular chest.

Feel his chest, his embrace, his body temperature.

His large hands, wrapped around her waist, slowly tightened their grip.

Ye Yuntang subconsciously turned around, tiptoed, and quickly glanced at the kitchen doorway.

Seeing that no one was coming, she tilted her head up and pecked the man's thin lips.

The moment their lips touched, they both jolted.

It's only been a few days since we last met, but it feels like a long time has passed.

They miss each other very much.

"I'm so happy."

"I miss you so much."

They almost unanimously agreed.

She said she was very happy.

He said he missed her terribly.

Snowflakes were falling heavily outside the window, while the stove inside was burning hot.

She turned around, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed his thin lips as he looked down at her.

Almost instantly, he turned the tables and took the initiative.

He held the back of her head and deepened the kiss.

Sucking, entangling, devouring.

They seemed to want to melt each other.

The temperature in the kitchen gradually rose.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was almost out of breath.

She stepped back slightly, but he caught up with her again.

It's no longer a deep kiss, but a light kiss, or a peck, a suck, or a lick.

Ye Yuntang felt a tiny electric current running through his limbs and bones.

Her head was spinning, and she couldn't think straight anymore.

She could only feel his lips as he kissed her, soft and hot, carrying his unique masculine scent.

Her heart pounded, and even her fingertips trembled slightly.

He looked down at her, his high, straight nose gently brushing against her cheek.

His actions sent shivers down her spine.

Her lips, kissed by him, were rosy and full; she parted slightly, panting.

The breath he exhaled was sweet and fragrant.

His eyes were dark, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he kissed her again.

He meticulously depicted, explored, and entangled every inch of it.

Ye Yuntang felt a mix of excitement and nervousness.

She was terrified that someone would break in.

But I couldn't control myself from getting intimate with him.

After a passionate and tender kiss, he pulled her into his arms.

She wrapped her arms tightly around his lean waist, the lingering scent of his breath making her dizzy still lingering between her lips, and she slumped into his arms like water.

Sensing the unusual behavior in his body, she looked up at him.

His eyes were red at the corners, and his drooping black eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Are you feeling unwell? Would it be inappropriate for us to go back to our room now?" she asked softly.

The man's breathing was heavy, yet he still held her tightly.

"I'm not going back to my room, I'll be done in a bit."

Ye Yuntang responded with an "oh".

The water in the pot boiled, and Xiao Lin pressed her shoulders and turned her body around.

As she turned off the stove, she glanced at the man leaning against the refrigerator. "How did you manage to buy a ticket to Yecheng today?"

The man's thin lips curved slightly. "No tickets. My older brother arranged a private jet. I have to get back tomorrow morning."

Ye Yuntang's eyes widened slightly. "You didn't drive here yourself, did you?"

Xiao Lin nodded. "Mm."

Ye Yuntang exclaimed, "Wow! I'd heard at work that you could fly a plane, but I never imagined you actually could!"

Xiao Lin said in a low voice, "I got my pilot's license." His eyes were deep, and a hint of doting affection appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Next time, I'll take you on a flight I'm piloting."

Ye Yuntang's beautiful eyes lit up, full of anticipation. She nodded vigorously, "Okay."

After saying that, she added softly, "Your older brother even arranged a plane to come over for you on New Year's Eve. He's such a kind person."

Xiao Lin nodded and said seriously, "If you ever have any trouble in the future, you can come to my older brother."

Ye Yuntang tilted her head, somewhat puzzled. "Why should I look for your older brother? If I have something to say, wouldn't it be better to just contact you directly?"

Xiao Lin paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "...Okay."

Ye Yuntang stared at Xiao Lin for a few seconds.

For some reason, a strange feeling suddenly welled up inside her.

Why would he suddenly say he was in trouble and tell her to go to his older brother?

Does this mean he won't be able to stay by her side in the future?

Or is he hiding something from her?

Perhaps it's due to her profession, but she has always been perceptive.

She frowned, then looked at him again, her face serious. "Xiao Lin, are you hiding something from me?"

Xiao Lin's gaze paused slightly. "Why would you ask that?"

Ye Yuntang looked into his eyes and said each word with utmost seriousness, "I hate deception and concealment the most. You'd better not hide anything from me."

The man lowered his eyes, and his hidden gaze flickered slightly.

He walked over and pulled her into his arms again. "Yun Tang, believe me, I won't hurt you."
