Chapter 7
Chen Xu lay back in Si Ye’s arms and looked up into Si Ye’s deep eyes. His eyes were black and bright it contains a teasing smile, and the deep meaning hidden in it almost eat away Chen Xu’s rationality.
Seeing Si Ye’s face getting closer and closer to him, Chen Xu flustered shyly like a little naive lamb, he whispered to Si Ye, “Uncle Si.”
“Hmm?” Si Ye didn’t kiss the lips that made him yearn for them, and responded softly, compassionately and tenderly.
His fingers stroked Chen Xu’s cheeks, which slid to his ears, softly pinched his soft earlobes.
Si Ye’s ears became hotter and hotter, but the smile on his lips deepened.
Chen Xu swallowed nervously. At this time, he was extremely convinced that he might have done something to create a misunderstanding with Si Ye while he was drunk last night, “Was I crazily drunk last night?”
The movement of Si Ye’s hand stopped, “Don’t you remember Xiaoxu?”
His voice was softer than usual, but Chen Xu felt that it’s a snake spitting out those words .
“Can’t remember.” Chen Xu cautiously observed Si Ye’s reaction.
“Really?” Si Ye’s fingers stroked Chen Xu’s neck and stopped on his aorta. “Really don’t remember?”
Chen Xu’s nose was slightly sweaty, and staring straight into Si Ye’s eyes he nodded, “Yeah.”
After an awkward silence, Si Ye take his hand down from his neck, and Chen Xu sighed in relief and quickly sat up.
He lowered his head and stared at his fingers, “Uncle Si, if I went drunk last night and said something that shouldn’t be said, I don’t mean it, sorry.”
“Aren’t you sincere?” Si Ye asked.
Chen Xu was sure now, he really said something that shouldn’t have been said, and nodded quickly, “Yeah.”
His answer caused Si Ye to laugh. Chen Xu felt like he is sitting on pins and needles. He wanted to go back to last night to see what he had said that made Si Ye laugh.
Si Ye turned his head to look at him with a teasing smile on his face, “Including the sentence you said to let me spoil you?”
“Boom—” Chen Xu was struck by thunderbolt on a sunny day, his brain exploded completely, and his white and clean face became red like a pig liver.
Did he actually say such shameless words?
He really wanted Si Ye to spoil him, and it would be better to spoil him as the most favored child of the Si family, and make Si Yichen angry.
But he actually mentioned it to Si Ye so bluntly and blatantly last night, and to make matters worse, the pampering Si Ye showed to him today doesn’t seem to be what he wants.
“Ye… I’m sorry, I’m talking nonsense, you should forget about it, Uncle Si.” Chen Xu’s face and neck were flushed, and now he can’t wait to dig a hole on the spot and bury himself.
“Oh…you don’t want me to spoil you?” Si Ye propped his chin with one hand, staring at Chen Xu with a smile.
Chen Xu pursed his lips and shook his head betraying his heart, “I don’t want.”
“You really don’t want?” Si Ye suddenly reached out to Chen Xu’s ear and asked him in a low voice.
Si Ye’s voice was low and mellow, like a beautiful cello, and his heart and liver trembled.
He was stunned by Si Ye’s red eyes, beautiful peach blossom eyes gleaming, he pressed his lips into a straight line, and looked at Si Ye for a few seconds, and finally said honestly, “Want.”
Hearing the answer he wanted, Si Ye’s lips curled up with a satisfied smile, and he whispered in Chen Xu’s ear: “Uncle will spoil you.”
His voice and words made Chen Xu’s heart beat faster, and his eyelashes fluttered like a black feathers, he looks like a little deer at a loss.
Si Ye sat next to Chen Xu and did not continue to attack. It was not good to push the children at once.
“Sir, old lady come over.” When Uncle Zhong saw Si Ye coming back, he stepped forward and took Si Ye’s coat and briefcase.
“Ok.” Si Ye didn’t need to think about it. It must be Si Yichen who went to Ms. Tao to complain. He happened to have something to talk to Ms. Tao.
Chen Xu heard what Uncle Zhong and Si Ye said, and remembered the difficult Ms. Tao.
Ms. Tao is Si Ye’s mother. She lives in the furthest Villa No. 5 and rarely comes out. Chen Xu remembers that the relationship between Ms. Tao and Si Ye is not good. Si Ye, who is an extraordinary man on outside, often suffers a lost in front of her. Ms Tao’s attitude towards Si Ye is always giving the best of everything, but with despise. Chen Xu cannot understand the reason, as Si Ye’s biological mother, why do Ms. Tao treats Si Ye in this way, Si Ye has never wronged her.
“Uncle Si, you haven’t eaten dinner yet. Why don’t you go over after dinner.” Chen Xu didn’t like that Ms. Tao, and he didn’t want Si Ye to feel wronged and be treated like a doormat.
Si Ye was a little surprised by Chen Xu’s concern for him, a smile slipped out from the corners of his lips, and he raised his hand and rubbed Chen Xu’s head, “Well, we can eat together.”
Chen Xu wanted to say that he had eaten, but when he thought of his goal, he agreed to eat a little more with Si Ye.
If he didn’t work hard, how could he get rid of Si Yichen as soon as possible.
When Chen Xu sat down on the table, he was a little surprised to find that almost all the dishes on the table were what he liked, which was really strange.
After the two of them ate dinner peacefully, Chen Xu went back to his room.
Si Ye went back to the room and took a shower, changed his clothes, and walked to Villa No. 5.
“Uncle Si, you are back.” Tong Jiaxi didn’t expect to meet Si Ye and jogged to him. Si Ye nodded coldly at him, “Yeah.”
He wanted to say something more. Uncle Zhong had already taken the lead and said to him: “Master Xi, sir, have something to do. If you haven’t eaten dinner, you can to the dining hall there are people in the kitchen.”
Tong Jiaxi has lived in Si’s house for so many years, naturally knowing that Uncle Zhong is driving him away, he dared not make Si Ye unhappy, and nodded obediently, “Good night, Uncle Si.”
Si Ye probably didn’t hear what he said, and his back soon disappeared from Tong Jiaxi’s sight. Tong Jiaxi turned around and walked to the dining hall, and couldn’t help but laugh.
Today he is very lucky, he have a conversation with Uncle Si.
“Aunt Liu, what did Uncle Si come to eat just now?” Tong Jiaxi is used to pretending to be cute in front of his elders, and these uncles and aunts of the Si family like him very much.
Aunt Liu didn’t conceal it either, she told Tong Jiaxi. Tong Jiaxi was a little confused. Why did Uncle Si eat so much food today? Doesn’t Uncle Si dislike eating broccoli?
However, Tong Jiaxi didn’t think much about it, and asked Aunt Liu to give him some food. In the end, he was struggling to support himself before he barely finished eating.
He held his waist and walked contentedly to the second floor. The rooms of several of them are on the second floor, and they are very close. Tong Jiaxi walked up the stairs and met Chen Xu who had just taken a shower and wanted to go downstairs to get a glass water to drink.
As soon as Chen Xu left the room, he saw Tong Jiaxi supporting his waist and walking up, looking a bit funny.
He couldn’t help but twitched the corner of his mouth. Tong Jiaxi saw this smile in his eyes and stared at him angrily, “What are you laughing at?”
“Nothing.” Chen Xu shrugged, ignoring him.
Tong Jiaxi stared at him with gloomy eyes. It wasn’t until Chen Xu passed him that he spoke complacently, “Uncle Si talked to me just now, and asked me to go to the dining hall early for dinner so I won’t be hungry. I eat the same dishes as what Uncle Si eat.”
Such a mentally handicapped speech makes Chen confused. Is that something to be proud of? He doesn’t quite understand Tong Jiaxi’s thoughts, is it the mood of a star-chaser¹ girl getting the same style as her idol?
Seeing Chen Xu’s silence, Tong Jiaxi felt even more proud, thinking that he must have hit by Chen Xu. He went on to say, “I know that Uncle Si’s backing you up this morning is for the sake of the Si family’s face. Be careful and know that getting a little attention from Uncle Si are all temporary.”
“I advise you to stop being clever². What Uncle Si hates most is people who are clever.”
Chen Xu turned his head to meet Tong Jiaxi’s gaze, “Are you talking about yourself?”
“What?” Tong Jiaxi was surprised that Chen Xu could still speak to him calmly. He thought that Chen Xu would be hit hard by his words.
The corners of Chen Xu’s lips made a sneer, “You are clever, aren’t you talking about yourself?”
“You! Chen Xu, I advise you not to be too proud!” Tong Jiaxi pointed at him angrily, obviously irritated by Chen Xu.
“You told me not to be too proud, aren’t you very proud yourself? Get the same dinner as Uncle Si.” Chen Xu raised the corners of his lips, and his face was full of mockery.
Tong Jiaxi still couldn’t see that Chen Xu was mocking him, “So what, do you think Uncle Si will talk to you? Do you know what Uncle Si was eating tonight?”
Chen Xu saw his eyes become more smug, shook his head, and said, “It must be really disappointing for you. Not only did I talk to Uncle Si, but I also ate dinner with him.”
Chen Xu looked at Tong Jiaxi’s bulging stomach and showed a big smile, “It’s a coincidence that I like the dishes tonight, and you seem to like it too.”
This sentence made Tong Jiaxi’s eyes wide. He clenched his fists in disbelief, and couldn’t recover for a long time. When he reacted, Chen Xu was no longer on the stairs.
“Ah—hey!!” Tong Jiaxi kicked against the wall in anger, finally hurt his foot and limped back to the room.
Si Ye seldom came to Villa No. 5, and Ms. Tao wouldn’t want to see him if she had nothing to do.
Tao Minzhi, 63, is well maintained. She looks like a woman in her 30s or 40s. She sits dignified and elegantly on a chair with lace gloves on her hands. She takes a sip of black tea from an exquisite teacup.
Si Ye had been in for five minutes, but she turned a blind eye, as if she wanted Si Ye to hang aside.
Six minutes later, Si Ye raised his hand and looked at his watch, then turned and walked outside.
“Stop.” Tao Minzhi scolded when Si Ye was about to leave.
“I thought you would prefer to be alone.” Si Ye stopped, his tone not fluctuating in the slightest.
Tao Minzhi frowned. She had a foreboding that this son was getting more and more uncontrollable. She didn’t know when he no longer have her in his eyes. She could no longer irritate him easily, which also meant Si Ye’s mood will no longer be affected by her, which is is not good.
“Yi Chen is already eighteen. You can let him join the company to study, so he can share one or two burden for you in the future.”
“You don’t need to worry.” Si Ye refused directly.
Tao Minzhi’s eyes narrowed. She thought that what Si Yichen said to her was a child’s jealousy, but Si Ye’s attitude really aroused her suspicion. Does he want to replace Si Yichen?
