Yao Mingyue had changed into Bai Xin's black nightgown, having just finished her bath, she felt her whole body soft and tender. The flush from the alcohol hadn't completely faded as she sat face to face with Xu Musen.
Bai Xin also sat down, looking at the table full of food and at the two younger ones, Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue.
There really was a sense of family in this empty house.
"Come on Ming Yue, eat a bit more to chase away the chill."
Bai Xin served Yao Mingyue a small bowl of seafood porridge.
"Thank you, Aunt Bai, I'm sorry to bother you so late," Yao Mingyue said as she stood up to take it.
"You, child, Aunt Bai has always been alone, having you guys over really livens the place up," Bai Xin stroked Yao Mingyue's head, feeling sentimental.
That little girl from before had now grown into a tall and graceful young lady.
Bai Xin didn't ask much about what had happened between the two of them.
Even Ming Yue's mom was so reassured; as her aunt, she wouldn't interfere with the progress of your relationship now.
During the meal, it was mostly Bai Xin and Yao Mingyue chatting.
Yao Mingyue's gaze continually fell on Xu Musen.
He was still wearing Bai Xin's bathrobe, which was slightly small for him, his chest partly exposed.
He had a firm build, and the shape of his collarbone was very stylish. Yao Mingyue couldn't help but stare, devouring the tofu.
The little guy, quite sexy...
And having a meal face to face like this, it had been a long time since they had eaten together, and Xu Musen's cooking really suited her taste.
She rarely ate something as stimulating as mapo tofu.
But she found Xu Musen's cooking particularly to her taste.
Suddenly, she remembered something.
It felt like Xu Musen was very familiar with Aunt Bai's house, and cooking seemed like a routine to him too. From Bai Xin's expression, it seemed like it wasn't Xu Musen's first time cooking here either.
Yao Mingyue's little expression started to look a bit off.
She couldn't help but sneak a peek at Aunt Bai.
Aunt Bai was wearing a light pink silk nightgown.
And Bai Xin's figure was always well-maintained; you couldn't see any hint of looseness in her nightgown, no flab at all.
Her skin was also moist and glossy, making her look no different from a woman in her late twenties.
Women of her age had a fully matured charm paired with a hint of a young girl's demeanor.
The mature allure she emitted in every move was something these young girls just couldn't learn.
From time to time, Bai Xin would compliment Xu Musen, saying his cooking skills were truly good.
Xu Musen responded with a cheerful laugh.
The interaction between the two seemed even more natural than what she had with him now...
After finishing a bowl of rice, Xu Musen thought about heading back.
"Just leave the wet clothes here, I had the property management buy you a new set of clothes, they will be delivered soon. You might as well take a bath too," Bai Xin said.
"Thank you, Aunt Bai. Sorry for the trouble," Xu Musen nodded, inwardly marveling at the difference between a woman and a girl.
Everything was so well taken care of.
How much worry could be saved if he had such a capable wife at home.
Yao Mingyue caught every hint of Xu Musen's fleeting sense of longing.
After Xu Musen went to the bathroom, he didn't use the bathtub but just took a quick shower.
At the dining table, Bai Xin began to clean up.
"Aunt Bai, I'll help you," Yao Mingyue stood up and joined her in the kitchen to wash the dishes.
"Aunt Bai, has... Xu Musen been here before?" Yao Mingyue couldn't help asking.
"Yeah, last time I took him out to discuss an investment, and I had drunk, so he drove me back."
"I see..." Yao Mingyue nodded.
Seeing her look somewhat distracted, Bai Xin couldn't help but add, "You young people, although it's normal to be a little wild sometimes, you still need to take care of your health, especially for girls. Don't touch cold water; you might catch a disease if you're not careful..."
Bai Xin went on a bit, and Yao Mingyue kept nodding.
Having finished his shower, the property management had delivered Xu Musen's clothes.
"Aunt Bai, I'll head back first," Xu Musen, now dressed, prepared to leave.
Yao Mingyue subconsciously thought of following him.
Xu Musen reached out and poked her shoulder, "You just rest up at Aunt Bai's place."
"I'm fine now," Yao Mingyue spoke, but her steps were obviously still light.
Bai Xin came over and gently put her arm around her shoulder, "Ming Yue, stay here and rest tonight. There's a room. It's windy at night; you might catch a cold again."
Yao Mingyue could only nod, then turned to Bai Xin, "Aunt Bai, I'll walk him downstairs."
"Okay."
Bai Xin nodded, these young people.
They would see each other the next day, yet every time they parted at night, they act as if they can't bear to leave each other.
Yao Mingyue followed Xu Musen out of the door. In the elevator, they were silent for a while.
But their eyes kept gazing at the other's reflection in the elevator doors.
They walked out of the building together.
It wasn't until they were outside that Xu Musen turned around and looked at Yao Mingyue in her thin nightgown, "Go back inside."
"Xu Musen."
Yao Mingyue called out to him, her phoenix eyes shimmering, "I had a lot of fun today."
Xu Musen's mouth twitched, "Fun? You'll see if I'll still take care of you next time you jump or if your head hasn't cleared of its water?"
He couldn't help but lose his politeness when he thought of the scene of her jumping without hesitation.
But Yao Mingyue actually laughed at being scolded like this, her cheeks then revealing a trace of wistfulness, "Xu Musen, I'd rather you scold me every time you see me, but please don't ignore me in the future."
