Chapter 92: Qianqian Deserves Someone Better

The bathroom quickly filled with rising steam, water droplets slowly sliding down the tiles, accompanied by occasional soft laughter from the two men.

Before long, the two emerged from the bathroom, their hair damply hanging over their foreheads.

Ye Xingchen casually picked up a hair dryer, plugged it in, adjusted the temperature, gently motioned for Lin Yu to sit down, and tenderly began to dry his hair.

The warm air blew through, gradually drying and fluffing Lin Yu’s hair, Ye Xingchen’s fingers weaving through it, his movements gentle and focused.

After drying Lin Yu’s hair, Lin Yu took the hair dryer, motioned for Ye Xingchen to sit down, and carefully dried his hair as well.

The warm air caressed them, the two quietly enjoying this moment of tranquility and intimacy, their eyes meeting, love flowing between them.

Once their hair was dry, Ye Xingchen held Lin Yu’s shoulders, helping him lie down on the bed.

Then, he turned and walked towards the wardrobe, taking out a thick blanket and adding it to the existing one.

Afterward, Ye Xingchen also lay down on the bed, turning to pull Lin Yu tightly into his arms, his chin gently resting on the top of his head, his voice low and gentle: “Yu, I’ll hold you tonight, so you won’t be cold.”

Lin Yu snuggled into Ye Xingchen’s arms, softly responding with a “Okay.”

A happy smile bloomed on his face as he slowly closed his eyes in Ye Xingchen’s warm embrace.

Time flew by, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Ye Xingchen and Lin Yu’s days passed in such an orderly manner.

In these seemingly ordinary days, their feelings flowed quietly in unnoticed corners, like a gurgling stream, growing deeper and deeper.

During the day, they were the best of friends in the eyes of others. They went in and out together, chatting and laughing, with perfect understanding.

But once night fell, the atmosphere at home changed.

–Night

Ye Xingchen gently closed the bedroom door, lightly kissed Lin Yu on the cheek, and asked with a smile, “Were you tired at work today?”

“Not tired,” Lin Yu replied, leaning into Ye Xingchen’s arms and wrapping his arms around his waist.

Ye Xingchen held Lin Yu in his arms, murmuring, “I’ve wanted to hold you all day.”

Lin Yu looked up, his eyes seemed to hold a sky full of stars, filled with deep affection and love: “Xingchen, I feel like only the nights truly belong to us.”

“This can’t be helped,” Ye Xingchen sighed slightly, his tone tinged with helplessness.

“But…” Lin Yu hesitated, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes.

“Yu, go to bed early, I’ll take you out to play tomorrow on the weekend,” Ye Xingchen gently interrupted Lin Yu, lightly scratching his nose, trying to dispel that hint of sadness.

“Okay!” Lin Yu instantly beamed, his eyes reigniting with anticipation.

In the early morning, sunlight gently filtered through the window, quietly climbing onto the bed in the room where Ye Xingchen and Lin Yu lived together.

Lin Yu slowly woke up, sleepily glanced at Ye Xingchen, who was still fast asleep beside him, and couldn’t help reaching out to gently poke his face.

He muttered softly, “Wake up, the sun is scorching your butt!”

Ye Xingchen frowned, instinctively pulling Lin Yu closer into his arms, responding vaguely, “Five more minutes.”

At this moment, the familiar sounds of Aunt Liu, the housekeeper, busying downstairs reached them, and the two instantly sobered up.

They neatly tidied up the somewhat messy bed and pajamas, returning to their usual status as good friends, and went downstairs one after the other.

Aunt Liu greeted them with a smile: “Young Master, what would you and Young Master Ye like to eat this morning? Aunt Zhang has already made some, see if you want anything else, she can add more.”

Lin Yu responded with a smile, his voice light: “Aunt Zhang, anything is fine, I love everything you make.”

“Understood, Young Master,” Aunt Zhang responded from the kitchen.

Lin Yu put his arm around Ye Xingchen’s shoulder, “Let’s go eat!”

“Okay!” Ye Xingchen had a gentle smile on his face, letting Lin Yu lead him to sit down.

Aunt Zhang quickly brought the prepared breakfast to the table. Lin Yu and Ye Xingchen had barely started eating when the sound of a car horn came from outside.

The security guard, through the surveillance, saw the style and logo of the car, and knew at a glance that it was the vehicle often used by the Old Madam – a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

The security guard didn’t dare to delay and quickly opened the gate.

Before long, Bai Shiya led Shen Qianqian into the villa.

Bai Shiya was wearing a gorgeous cheongsam, a simple and elegant light blue, embroidered with delicate white flowers, the lines perfectly outlining her still graceful figure despite the years.

Every move revealed the charm of a mature woman, each action elegant and composed, as if time had deposited a different kind of charm on her.

And Shen Qianqian, who was following behind her, looked delicate and charming, her eyes lively, wearing a light pink dress, the skirt gently swaying with her steps.

As soon as she entered the villa gate, she nervously and expectantly looked around, searching for Lin Yu’s figure.

The moment Lin Yu saw Shen Qianqian, he secretly cried out in his heart.

He knew that Shen Qianqian liked him, but he really had no romantic feelings for her.

And Ye Xingchen, seeing Shen Qianqian’s undisguised love for Lin Yu, couldn’t help but feel a burst of jealousy, his grip on the chopsticks tightening unconsciously.

Lin Yu noticed Ye Xingchen’s change, and felt a little flustered in his heart. He subconsciously squeezed Ye Xingchen’s palm, trying to appease Ye Xingchen with this unintentional action.

At the same time, he plastered a polite smile on his face and stood up to greet them.

He quickly thought of a way to resolve this awkward and delicate situation, so as not to let Ye Xingchen misunderstand his attitude towards Shen Qianqian.

He hurried forward, a smile on his face, and said, “Mom, why are you here so early in the morning?”

Bai Shiya pretended to be annoyed: “What, am I not allowed to come?”

Lin Yu hurriedly explained, “I didn’t mean that.”

Bai Shiya couldn’t help but laugh when she saw this.

“Just teasing you, look how nervous you are.”

Then, she changed the subject, her expression becoming serious, “Son, you are not young anymore, and Qianqian here, I have watched her grow up since she was a child, although she is a few years younger than you, but when looking for a wife, you should find someone younger than yourself.”

Lin Yu still had a polite smile on his face, but he felt a little helpless in his heart, and he replied with a forced smile, “Mom, I only treat her as a younger sister, and feelings can’t be forced.”

“My career has just started, and I want to focus more on my work first, and I don’t want to consider anything else for the time being.”

Bai Shiya frowned slightly, a trace of dissatisfaction in her eyes, but she still patiently persuaded, “Yu, you also know our family’s situation, your father is getting old, and some things can’t just be done according to your own temperament.”

“Qianqian is a good child, she looks good, has a straightforward personality, and knows our family well, how suitable is she? Don’t just focus on your work, you have to consider your own life.”

At this moment, Shen Qianqian said in a blushing voice, “Brother Yu, I really like you, and it hasn’t changed over the years. I am willing to wait for you, no matter how long it takes.”

Ye Xingchen watched from the side, feeling uncomfortable in his heart. Although he maintained his composure on the surface, the knuckles of his hand holding the chopsticks had turned white.

Lin Yu glanced at Ye Xingchen, and secretly thought things were not good, and quickly said:

“Mom, feelings can’t be forced, and I can’t just casually decide my life’s event.

Qianqian deserves someone better, and I hope she can find someone who truly suits her and can give her happiness.”

Hearing this, Shen Qianqian’s eyes instantly turned red.
