Chapter 320 Kissed, They Really Kissed
Mother Ye had only met Third Master Shang a few times and had to rely on her memory to recall him. However, this did not stop her from greeting him with a smile.
"Isn't that so? I feel so energized since I got here."
"Hahaha, that's good. A good body is the most important thing."
After speaking, Third Master Shang looked at the only young girl he hadn't paid attention to.
"Is this your daughter?"
Upon hearing this, Father Ye immediately puffed out his chest with pride and pulled his daughter to his side.
"Look, doesn't she resemble my wife? You can tell she's my flesh and blood."
"Indeed, she looks more like your wife than the previous young lady. Speaking of that matter makes me angry. The Baili family is truly despicable. Fortunately, I don't have daughters, or they would have targeted me too."
The Baili family had harmed too many people. Now, any family, whether they had lost a child or not, felt a lingering fear whenever they were mentioned.
"Forget it, they are just grasshoppers in autumn. I'll let them jump around."
Third Master Shang then looked at Ye Shengge. Seeing Zi Yisheng following the young girl so closely, he understood everything. His taste, tsk tsk tsk, was truly sharp!
"Is this a good thing on the horizon?"
Father Ye was annoyed by Zi Yisheng's pathetic behavior, but he could not show any dissatisfaction in front of outsiders.
"Shang San, you're not well-informed. Didn't your son tell you? My daughter and Zi Yisheng just got engaged!"
"I just arrived. I wanted to see you, you old geezer, and didn't have a chance to talk to my son. By the way, I also wanted to meet the benefactor who saved my son. This person saved my old bones!"
Father Ye became even more proud, his chin lifting.
"Hahahaha, well, she's standing right in front of you!"
Third Master Shang looked at Ye Shengge with disbelief. He cursed his son a million times in his heart. His son had only told him that a woman saved him, but nothing else.
"Indeed, the student surpasses the master. Girl, Uncle really needs to thank you properly!"
As he spoke, Third Master Shang stood up and bowed solemnly to Ye Shengge.
This terrified Ye Shengge. She quickly dodged, as she dared not accept such a gesture from an elder.
"Uncle, there's no need. Saving Young Master Shang was a mere accident. Besides, Young Master Shang has already thanked me."
Zi Yisheng pulled the young girl to his side, knowing she would be embarrassed.
"Exactly, what are you doing? You're disrespecting a junior."
"Hahahaha, good, this is the fate between our two families. I'll remember this favor. Girl, from now on, if you ever need Uncle's help, just ask. I'm more useful than your father now."
Father Ye immediately started bickering with Third Master Shang, which also gave Ye Shengge a chance to disengage.
Young Master Shang Shaoyan was anxiously waiting at home, afraid his father would offend someone. Healing was a minor issue; he truly didn't want Ye Shengge to be angry with him. He had already offended her the last time he investigated her, and now he had defied her wishes by not stopping his father. He felt genuinely uneasy.
"Young Master Shang, how about I go and eavesdrop?"
Ming Hui's suggestion was met with contempt from Shang Shaoyan.
"You'd be knocked out by Zi Yisheng's men before you even get close. Go away. Old Zhang, you go and listen, but be careful not to be discovered."
Old Zhang was specifically assigned to protect Shang Shaoyan, but he felt uncertain thinking about the people around Zi Yisheng.
"Young Master Shang, if I don't return tonight, don't look for me. I'll definitely be back tomorrow."
Shang Shaoyan's gloom deepened. He had always been confident in front of Zi Yisheng, but now he was being proven wrong step by step.
"Go ahead. If you're caught, say you were going to pick up my father. At least you won't get beaten."
Looking at Old Zhang, who seemed to be going to his death, Ming Hui shivered. From now on, he would never be so reckless again.
Third Master Shang and Father Ye were initially drinking tea and chatting. Later, the two of them started drinking more heartily, and even asked Aunt Zhen to prepare some snacks to go with the drinks.
Zi Yisheng also took the opportunity to bring Ye Shengge to his home. Although the two houses were next door, Ye Shengge rarely visited.
Zi Yisheng had long wanted to find an opportunity to bring the little girl to see his home, as this would eventually be their marital home, and all the arrangements should be decided by the mistress of the house.
"Shengge, have you thought about how to furnish our home? I feel like it's still missing a lot of things."
"Our home" made Ye Shengge's face flush. She thought that in just two years, she would be moving in.
"It's just the two of us, and neither of us can cook. As long as the bedroom is comfortable, that's enough."
Zi Yisheng's heart grew warmer. He pulled the little girl into his bedroom, which was also the largest room in the house.
"Look, should we get a bigger bed? And then I can get a large wardrobe and a dressing table for you. Actually, buying from a store would look better. Shall we go pick some out after a while?"
Ye Shengge's face turned red. A bigger bed! It was impossible not to let one's mind wander. She had read many novels and sometimes imagined things. She was not a "fujoshi," and even if she were, she couldn't show it at this moment.
"Yes, whatever you think is best."
Zi Yisheng's hand never let go. He excitedly pulled Ye Shengge around the room, talking about his plans.
In fact, Ye Shengge had been deeply moved recently. When a person you like is completely focused on you, who wouldn't be touched and happy?
"I plan to build a flower room in our backyard for you. I'll plant your favorite flowers inside, and also make a large swing for you. You can lie on it to look at flowers and read books when you have time."
"And I'll dig a small fish pond here for you. The climate here is good, and I'll find some beautiful fish from outside for you to feed. You can feed them when you have time."
"..."
Ye Shengge no longer knew what to say. To achieve this in such a limited environment was already incredibly difficult.
"Thank you. Thank you for doing all this for me."
Ye Shengge reached out and hugged Zi Yisheng's waist, burying her face in his broad chest.
Zi Yisheng took the opportunity to hold her tighter, already contemplating what else he could do to move the little girl next time, so he could get a chance for her to willingly throw herself into his arms.
"You don't need to thank me. Anything I do for you is only right, as long as you like it."
Ye Shengge tiptoed and gave him her kiss, their first real kiss. She wasn't an old-fashioned person, and a kiss when the emotion was right was not a big deal.
But Zi Yisheng was different. He had longed for this kiss for a very, very long time, but he had never dared to overstep. If he missed this opportunity presented to him, he wouldn't be a man.
It was supposed to be just a light peck, but Zi Yisheng didn't give Ye Shengge a chance to pull away. He cupped her small head and deepened the kiss.
Ye Shengge didn't feel dizzy. She only felt her lips being pricked by his teeth many times, and she was in pain. The slight flutter in her heart was also broken.
"Ouch~ My mouth hurts!"
