After the evil mother-in-law was reborn, the whole family collapsed

I don't know when there was a noise at the door. When Ruan Yaoyao looked up, she saw Jie Xiuyuan walking in with a suit jacket on his wrist.

The light from the entrance shone on him, outlining his slender figure. His face was half light and half dark, making him look particularly noble and elegant, with an outstanding temperament.

Although she already knew that this boy had outstanding appearance, Ruan Yaoyao was still stunned by him suddenly, and was a little dazed.

Because Ruan Yaoyao was the only one in the living room, the main lights were turned off, leaving only the floor lamp next to the sofa where she sat. She was wearing a knitted long skirt, a thin blanket covering her legs, and her long hair had been let down, which embellished her face and set off the moonlight bells on her ears, making her look particularly delicate.

Seeing her like this, Xie Xiuming always felt his throat itchy.

"sister?"

The voice is low and hoarse.

Ruan Yaoyao subconsciously raised her head and her pretty face, and her blank eyes felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. He was so tall that she could only look up at him.

Xie Xiuming wanted to touch her face for a moment, but he restrained himself and moved his fingers. He said, "Sister, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Ruan Yaoyao seemed to be awakened. She stepped back and her back hit the back of the sofa, but her head hit nothing. She was so startled that she almost screamed.

"Are you OK?"

Xie Xiuming was also startled and guessed that she was frightened by himself, but he was not sure whether she was frightened by her own voice or because she was distracted.

But no matter which one it was, he felt a little annoyed and thought he should have been more careful. If he had been more careful, perhaps she wouldn't have been scared.

"It's okay!" Ruan Yaoyao raised her hand to block his outstretched hand. When she realized that her hand had touched his hand, she quickly dodged like a thief, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.

【Aaaaaaah…what on earth am I thinking?! 】

【crazy! 】

Xie Xiuming: ????

In the corridor, Ruan Zhihe came back from the bathroom: ???

I just walked away for a while, what happened?

But seeing that there were only Ruan Yaoyao and Jie Xiuming in the living room, and even the housekeeper was standing far away and didn't come closer, she hesitated for a moment. Should she go forward to check the situation to see if there was any danger, or should she learn from the housekeeper and stay away?

Why did she feel like she didn't have as good eyesight as the housekeeper?

So, what is the butler looking at?

The housekeeper noticed someone was staring at him: ???

His eyes fell on Ruan Zhihe, with some confusion.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Xie Xiuming's hand was suspended in mid-air, and it was neither right to withdraw nor to move forward. He took a long time to withdraw his hand. His eyes fell on Ruan Yaoyao's face, and he saw a blush gradually rising on her face. He suddenly realized something - he seemed to be too close to her.

She was nestled in the sofa, petite and exquisite, and because of his concern, he took a few steps forward, almost standing next to the sofa, and leaned his upper body forward, almost "trapping" her in the sofa.

Realizing this, Xie Xiuming heard his own heartbeat.

"thump--"

"thump--"

For a moment, he really wanted to reach out and simply "make this matter real" and trap her inside.

But even if this is really done, what can we do?

Reason told him that the time was not right, and if he really did that, he would only scare someone away.

After all, there was more than just an age difference between them, there was also worldly perspective. Before he completely broke through her defenses and lived in her heart, any unusual move on his part would only make her run away.

What he wants is not just a momentary happiness, but a long-lasting companionship in the future.

As if nothing had happened, Xie Xiuyuan stepped back, picked up his suit jacket that had fallen to the ground, and said jokingly in a very natural way: "Are you scared by me? I asked you to lower your head to play with your phone, and your eyes almost fell on it."

"thump--"

"thump--"

Ruan Yaoyao's heart was beating violently, and she realized that the phone in her hand was long gone. She didn't know when it fell on the carpet under the sofa.

She bent down stiffly and picked it up, following his words and said, "You are so old, and you still play this kind of game. Are you a child? You scare people to death, you know?"

[It’s more than just scary! ]

[My heart is almost stopping! ]

Xie Xiuming said as he adjusted his suit jacket, "I didn't know you were so timid. I made no noise when I walked in. I even walked so far and said hello to you. You were so engrossed in your phone that you didn't even notice me standing right in front of you. Who do you blame?"

There was a hint of teasing in his tone, which made Ruan Yaoyao want to grit her teeth.

She also gradually calmed down and glared at him angrily: "If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have gone to bed long ago. Don't you see what time it is now? If I don't play with my phone, can I hold on? Good intentions don't go well. Next time I won't wait for you. You deserve it when you come back and it's so deserted, without anyone."

He didn't seem to notice the flaw in her words. She used the word "come back" instead of "visit".

I was still complaining in my heart, [Am I watching this on my phone? ]

[I am watching you, okay? ]

[You damn boy, why are you so good-looking? ]

Ruan Yaoyao became even angrier when she thought about how she had seen so many male celebrities and handsome young men, and how even if some of them could match his looks, they didn't have his temperament.

【Fairy! 】

[If this were put into a storybook, it would be a male demon who bewitches people! ]

Xie Xiuming almost laughed out loud, but luckily he suppressed it with his fist in time and coughed twice, thus suppressing the smile in his throat.

Why does he think Sister Yaoyao is so cute?

He thought she was frightened by something, but it turned out...

Standing outside the range of the floor lamp, his eyes were bright enough to be a little frightening. Relying on the fact that Ruan Yaoyao couldn't see, he stared at Ruan Yaoyao with the same eyes as he stared at his prey, very presumptuous.

Ruan Yaoyao didn't wait for Xie Xiuming's answer and felt even more dissatisfied. She was about to say something when she felt a chill, but when she felt it carefully, the chill was gone.

Ruan Yaoyao was inexplicably puzzled.

"have you eaten?"

"No, sister. Didn't you say you would save some food for me? I came here directly after I finished my overtime work."

"Didn't you get something to eat at the company?" Ruan Yaoyao was surprised. "What time is it? It's already 11 o'clock. Are you crazy? Do you want to give up your health..."

He didn't have time to be angry or mutter to himself, and hurried into the kitchen to bring out the food left for him.

"You are such a grown-up, but you still don't know how to take care of yourself."

"You are young now and think you are fine and can hold on, but how long can you hold on? What if your body can't take it anymore?"

"It will be too late for you to regret then!"

"The body is the foundation of everything. If you don't have a body, it's useless no matter how much money you make. Only with a body can you have everything and enjoy the fruits of your victory. Do you understand?"

……

Under the warm dining light, Xie Xiuming stepped forward to help. He had a smile on his face and did not refute. He responded from time to time, which seemed to indicate that he took Ruan Yaoyao's "reproach" to heart.

The housekeeper and Ruan Zhihe, who were watching from afar: "..."

How to get rid of the visual sense of a young couple?
