Unlike being at home, where you can lounge however you want.

Ye Fei turned sideways, leaning against the headboard, and gave Zhao Gushen’s sleeve a small tug.

Zhao Gushen looked down and said with a smile, "Even if you don’t tug at me, I’m watching you."

Ye Fei lifted her chin slightly, feeling a bit shy, but still asked, "Be honest, when did you start having plans for me?"

Ye Fei’s eyes lifted slightly, "Didn’t you start having intentions from the first time we met?"

Could it be that this man had that legendary love at first sight with her?

Ye Fei pinched her own cheeks, feeling like they’re okay.

Not too thick.

Zhao Gushen: "..."

How should he answer this question?

Did he fall in love with Ye Fei at first sight?

He thought, probably not entirely.

When he first met her, he hadn’t really thought in that direction.

Thinking about such things after just one meeting wasn’t really his style.

But he generally didn’t like children very much.

Or rather, not many things could pique his interest or affection.

He thought if any other child were to cling to him like Xiao Mo did.

Even if the other party was a child, he wouldn’t be so indulgent.

Though he verbally disliked it, he still indulged Xiao Mo in his actions.

At that time, he didn’t even know about his relationship with Xiao Mo; he hadn’t even suspected it.

Probably, it was just the natural bond of blood relations.

Even while not knowing, his attitude towards Xiao Mo was different.

He thought back then, although he hadn’t developed such thoughts for Ye Fei.

But he at least had a fond impression of her.

After all, it was Ye Fei. If it were another woman, he wouldn’t have bothered. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The difference in his attitude towards Ye Fei was actually because in his heart, he had a good impression of her.

Zhao Gushen turned these thoughts over in his mind, but his instinctive survival instinct told him he shouldn’t tell Ye Fei the truth.

Otherwise, Ye Fei might think he didn’t like her right from the start.

What if she got mad?

Zhao Gushen pondered for a while and said, "I did have a good impression of you back then. Maybe not to the extent of love at first sight. After all, I don’t even know what love at first sight feels like. What extent counts as love at first sight, really."

"But at that time with you, I didn’t feel repulsion like I did with other women. Instead, I kind of liked you."

"Seeing you trying to distance yourself from me, I subconsciously didn’t want to comply; I just wanted to get closer, to gradually become familiar with you."

"Later, when I suspected that you were the person from five years ago, and that Xiao Mo was my son, my first reaction was, what a coincidence."

"And that’s great. If it were you, I’m very happy."

"If it was someone else, I might just be responsible for the child. But if it’s you, I’m very grateful. Grateful that the girl from five years ago is you."

"Back when I couldn’t confirm if Xiao Mo was my son, I couldn’t help but want to interact more with you, get to know you more. Once it was confirmed, there was no need to hesitate anymore. Because it’s you, I felt really good."

"I don’t really believe that love at first sight can lead to such hot and strong feelings. What can you like about someone you’ve only met once? Isn’t it just the face?" Zhao Gushen laughed softly, "How long can such superficial like on looks last?"

"What if looking long enough, you find they only have a good face, but their personality is not compatible?"

"So all this talk about love at first sight is just to make one’s superficial attraction to looks sound better," Zhao Gushen was somewhat disdainful of this.

"Even if there’s an initial good impression due to looks, you need to see if you are compatible later to be sure of your feelings."

"For you, saying it was love at first sight wouldn’t be accurate. It was just a first good impression that grew the more we interacted," Zhao Gushen said.

Ye Fei suddenly laughed and nestled into his arms.

His words just hit the mark with her.

Though they weren’t the sweet nothings people might say, the sincerity of them made her feel more at ease than any sweet words could.

Ye Fei buried her face in his chest.

After rubbing a few times, she also inhaled the scent in Zhao Gushen’s embrace.

The shower gel and lotion Zhao Gushen used had a scent of oak, orange, and mint.

Fresh, slightly tangy, with a hint of crispness.

Quite different from the scent of the shower gel and lotion she used.

On him, it smelled particularly nice.

Ye Fei always loved inhaling it.

Ye Fei gently sniffed in his arms, her breath brushing against his chest, making it a bit itchy.

Zhao Gushen’s chest felt warm and a little ticklish.

He suddenly hugged Ye Fei tighter.

Don’t be fooled by Ye Fei’s thin appearance, looking so slender.

Yet she was really soft.

She had a delicate frame.

So although she was thin, she wasn’t lacking flesh.

Holding her felt extremely comfortable.

So soft that Zhao Gushen couldn’t resist, putting more strength into pulling her tightly into his arms.

His palm clasped at the back of her head, pressing her face against his chest.

Just right to feel the warmth of her face, the warmth of her breath, heating his chest.

Ye Fei’s face was squished out of shape by him.

Her cheeks pressed against her lips, making her pout like a little pig.

What image did she still have?

Ye Fei, annoyed, poked at his waistline.

His waist was trained to be extremely firm.

Poking it, all her fingertips felt was muscle, not a single soft spot.

Zhao Gushen finally relaxed his grip a bit.

Ye Fei quickly pulled her face away, taking a big breath.

"If you don’t let go, I’ll suspect you’re trying to murder your own wife," Ye Fei said.

Zhao Gushen couldn’t help but laugh.

Seeing her, the more he looked, the more he liked her, never getting enough of her.

As long as she was there, he didn’t need to do anything else, just looking at her could continually lift his spirits.

Even if just a moment before his mood wasn’t great.

But seeing her, all those displeasures, all those clouds would instantly vanish.

Zhao Gushen held her face and kissed her fiercely and passionately.

Ye Fei’s lips felt a little sore and numb, sensing that Zhao Gushen’s hands wanted to misbehave.

She quickly grabbed his hand, "Wait, I have something to ask you."

"What is it?" Zhao Gushen now couldn’t hold back much longer.

Even though she wasn’t trying to provoke him, holding her and squeezing those few times had ignited a fire in himself, a consequence he had brought upon himself.

Zhao Gushen’s hands pinched her waist.

Her waist was just too slender.

She’d given birth, so how was it still this slim?

On top of that, she was always researching cuisine, often having to taste it herself.

She ate quite a bit, yet still was this slender?

His hands encircled her waist, the middle fingers on her back and index fingers on her abdomen almost touched.

Too slender, making Zhao Gushen’s heart itch.
