Chapter 12 A Warm Kiss

"What a beautiful watermelon..." A smile appeared on Xiao Ruoyi's reddened face. Her eyes seemed to be misty.

Her arms were forceful, pulling He Yuzhe closer. Then, naturally, she kissed on his lips.

With his lips being covered with warmth, He Yuzhe stood there with his eyes wide open, and his legs were unable to take a step. His arms were still around the waist of Xiao Ruoyi, only harder.

Switching between light and heavy as if she was doing it on purpose, Ruoyi was gently rubbing her soft lips against his lips. Grabbing He Yuzhe's necktie with one hand, she leaned forward against He Yuzhe.

"Hmm..."

Her slightly red cheeks was right in front of him, so close that her eyelashes were clearly visible. Her hair was scattered, and some of them were on He Yuzhe's neck, causing him to tremble slightly.

It felt as if time had stopped and everything around them was all quiet. The faint smell of alcohol between her lips made He Yuzhe frown slightly. He looked at the woman in his arms, who looked half drunk and half sober, and did not push her away eventually. On the contrary, he pulled her into his arms and closed his eyes - He took the initiative to pander to her.

The kiss was exquisite and lasting. It was such a long kiss that the woman in his arms frowned and felt uncomfortable. He Yuzhe had to let her go reluctantly when she was gently pushing against his chest, indicating her discomfort.

Looking down, Xiao Ruoyi had already closed her eyes and was leaning against his chest with a faint smile, as if nothing had happened.

"He Yuzhe... You know... I always thought that you were the one who worth me giving up everything..."

Feeling his heart beating violently, He Yuzhe pursed his lips and looked away.

The image of the past flashed in his mind. It had been a long time since he saw the smile on Xiao Ruoyi's face. Ever since the Xiao family went bankrupt, there seemed to be only tears in her eyes.

Thinking of the Xiao family, He Yuzhe's look changed. The gentleness in his eyes was replaced by coldness, and the moved expression on his face quickly disappeared.

Just as he was approaching exit of the bar, the cold wind mixed with the smell of alcohol blew on his face. He Yuzhe quickened his pace, walked to his car, and swiftly placed Xiao Ruoyi in the front passenger seat.

The rain dripped down from the sky and gradually became heavier. There were beads of water on windows, and they could hear the sound of rain dropped on the roof of the car.

Xiao Ruoyi leaned against the car seat and fell asleep, muttering, "He Yuzhe, you... Bastard..."

"Shut up." He Yuzhe tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said these two words to calm the woman next to him. It was fruitless, obviously.

The cold wind was howling, and Xiao Ruoyi's hair was fluttering in it. She pouted and curled up in the seat because of the cold weather.

He Yuzhe noticed this small gesture and sighed helplessly. Then, he rolled up the window slowly.

This woman always made his heart waver. Every time he saw her, the hatred that he had for decades was forgotten. He repeatedly reminded himself that this woman was Xiao Haotian's daughter. Unfortunately, he still could not bear to see her tears without a trembling heart.

"He Yuzhe, who are you to frame my family..."

"You... Can't stop me from giving my father a funeral..."

Along the way, Xiao Ruoyi was muttering to herself. Although she couldn't speak clearly, He Yuzhe could hear what she was complaining about word for word.

After the bump, the car slowly stopped beside the residence of He family. Suddenly, a strong light shone on the windshield, causing He Yuzhe to shift his gaze away.

The car in front stalled, and its door was opened quickly. The person who got off was Bai Yichen, who was in a hurry.

He Yuzhe looked out of the window and happened to meet Bai Yichen's eyes, "What are you doing here? Don't you think there are enough troubles?" His tone was full of impatience.

Bai Yichen lowered his eyes and saw Xiao Ruoyi sleeping soundly. His eyes clearly flashed with a hint of pity, "Didn't you know that Ruoyi can't drink? And yet you made her this drunk?"

"It seems that Xiao Ruoyi has nothing to do with you." He Yuzhe frowned and his voice was full of frustration. He looked away from Bai and looked at the position in front of him.

Bai Yichen frowned and opened the door of He's car with one hand. The other hand of Bai's directly wrapped around Xiao Ruoyi's waist. He exerted a little strength and stood up to hold her in his arms, "If she had nothing to do with me, what does she have to do with you?"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards his car.

Looking at the receding figure, He Yuzhe hurriedly untied his safety belt. He wanted to catch up quickly, but he did not expect his arm to be suddenly grabbed - Looking back, he saw Bai Muya holding an umbrella.

The rain fell on the white umbrella, which was just enough to accommodate the two of them. Bai Muya spoke with a trembling voice because of the temperature, "Brother Yuzhe, why did you bring Xiao Ruoyi back to the residence of He family? What is her relationship with you?"

Bai Muya saw everything clearly. No matter how much she lied to herself, she could still see the strange emotion reflected in He Yuzhe's eyes.

Bai Muya gripped He Yuzhe's arm with one hand until Bai Yichen's car drove out of the yard of the residence of He family. Bai Muya looked up with tears in her eyes, "Brother Yuzhe, are you having a feeling for that woman?"

Hearing Bai Muya's words, He Yuzhe suddenly looked away and his heart trembled.

Having a feeling? Was he in love with his enemy's daughter? No, absolutely not.

He Yuzhe stood there for a long time before he came back to his senses. He clenched his fists and allowed the rain to pound on his collar, "That's impossible. You know the grudges between the Xiao family and my family. How could I like Xiao Haotian's daughter?"

He Yuzhe's voice became softer as he spoke. He didn't know if the last sentence was meant for Bai Muya or for himself.

"Brother Yuzhe, I knew you wouldn't abandon me. After all, Muya is your fiancée, right?" Bai Muya spoke in a very cautious tone.

She looked at the car that was leaving, and her eyes were filled with a vicious gaze. She would not let anyone stay by He Yuzhe's side. Xiao Ruoyi should not have appeared from the beginning.

He Yuzhe did not answer Bai Muya's question. When he thought of Bai Yichen taking Xiao Ruoyi away, he felt anxious. After hesitating for a while, he finally walked back, towards the door of the house.

After resting his palm on the handle for a while, he finally pushed the door open and walked in.

When Xiao Ruoyi woke up, it was already noon the next day.

The warmth next to her made her turn her head slightly. Opening her eyes slowly, her vision was a little blurry. The sound of the rain dripping was merged with the sound of the white clock ticking, drilling into her head.

Although the hangover had subsided a little because of the sound sleep last night, her mind was still in a daze. She was suffering from a headache and the pain caused Xiao Ruoyi to subconsciously cover her temple with one hand.
