Chapter 320 -320: Think You’re Somewhat Handsome
Ye Zhengrong heard this and felt there was merit to the idea, his anger growing, “Useless trash, she’s clearly the lady of the house, yet she’s completely suppressed by a mere maid, failing even to protect her own daughter, and she can’t even get a decent meal for herself! That maid dares to exploit her so, who knows how much she must’ve secretly made Chuyi suffer. That child has had it tough growing up!”
Ye Canghai gave a slight sigh, “Indeed, it’s not been easy for her. Since dad has said he wants to give her shares, we can’t just do nothing. The kid even calls you ‘uncle,’ shouldn’t you give her something?”
“I plan to give her something. I’m not sure how much dad will give, but I’ll just give a little less than him.”
Ye Canghai knew Ye Zhengrong wouldn’t be stingy; after all, when they didn’t know Ye Chuyi was a blood-related niece, he had already offered a dowry of ten billion. In the end, Ye Chuyi had not taken it.
A rare hint of anticipation colored his tone, “I haven’t even heard the kid call me ‘uncle’ yet. You’ve beaten me to it; that’s not right. Tomorrow, I must take the time to hear it for myself.” Of course, he wouldn’t let the child call him ‘uncle’ for nothing.
Ye Zhengrong: “…”
It really wasn’t easy, there were moments when he could get ahead of his older brother and be the object of his envy.
…
Early morning.
Ye Chuyi woke from her dreams.
She had slept restlessly that night, often seeing the faces of Lin Yueqin and Wen Nianyou in her dreams, and then she would wake up.
Upon waking and finding herself in Sheng Tingyuan’s embrace, she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
Now, having slept until this moment, she found that he was still holding her, his position almost unchanged throughout the night.
He was still sleeping, his face less cold than when his eyes were shut.
Ye Chuyi examined him closely and sighed again that his features really were handsome and perfect, captivating at a glance and hard to forget. No wonder she harbored feelings for him; he truly had attributes worth longing for.
She reached out to lightly touch his face and, seeing that he did not awaken, she stroked his chin.
The short stubble on his chin was slightly prickly to the touch but also ticklish, an unusual sensation.
As she was touching him, her head was suddenly held in place and then he kissed her.
Ye Chuyi was startled, “You’re awake?”
Sheng Tingyuan opened his eyes, “This is the second time you’ve touched my face.”
Ye Chuyi quickly retracted her hand, her cheeks involuntarily flushing, “I…I just thought…”
“Thought what?”
“Thought that you… look somewhat handsome.”
“Just somewhat?”
“No, not just somewhat, a lot.”
Sheng Tingyuan chuckled lightly, relieved to have a face that barely made the cut for her, he had thought she preferred the likes of Cong Ningyuan and Qi Yunfan, but apparently he was wrong.
Ye Chuyi took advantage of his momentary amusement to slip away from his arms and headed to the restroom to freshen up.
Her apartment had only one restroom, unlike his villa, which had several, allowing two people to use them at the same time.
Now, she had to go first and he had to wait.
Sheng Tingyuan wasn’t in a hurry. The novelty of taking turns to use the restroom amused him. He waited outside, listening to all the sounds she made within, unable to suppress a smile on his face.
He smiled and felt increasingly like a pervert, yet he had no intention of walking away.
When Ye Chuyi finished and came out, he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her, “Auntie Wang has made breakfast, and Yang Hai is already on his way here.”
Ye Chuyi was still not quite comfortable with such intimacy; she awkwardly responded, “Oh, okay.”
Sheng Tingyuan kissed her again and then let her go, entering the restroom to freshen up himself.

When he came out, Yang Hai had already delivered the breakfast.
Ye Chuyi sat at the dining table waiting for him.
He walked over, placing her favorites in front of her, then patted her head, “Go ahead and eat.”
Ye Chuyi felt his gesture was very indulgent and couldn’t help but glance at him, then she began to eat.
It had been days since she had Auntie Wang’s cooking, and now that she could finally enjoy it again, she felt a strong sense of happiness.
No wonder they say if you want to capture a man’s heart, you must first capture his stomach!
It seems it’s the same for women, too!
