Ye Yanxi immediately shot a questioning look at Xiao Yu.
She still remembered that she hadn't seen this ring after the meal before. How could it suddenly appear? It couldn't be that it was put on while she was drowsy. Unless it was Xiao Yu who put it on for her.
Her heart suddenly started beating a little faster.
What did it mean for him to put this ring on her? It couldn't be what she was thinking, could it?
With all sorts of possibilities swirling in her mind, she stopped pushing Xiao Yu. Her dark eyes were filled with a hint of moisture due to excitement as she stared at the shiny ring on her finger in disbelief. Seeing that she had calmed down, Xiao Yu followed her gaze and naturally knew what she had discovered.
Finally, Ye Yanxi came to her senses. Her eyes lit up as if a flame had been ignited. Her voice was laced with lightness. "What's going on with this?"
Xiao Yu just gave it a casual glance. His face had always been as cold as ice, and now there was not even a ripple on it. "Well, it's a ring."
Could his answer be any more idiotic?
Ye Yanxi was very dissatisfied with his answer. It had to be said that sometimes women were really troublesome. Clearly, she had already guessed the truth in her heart, but she still insisted that the man admit it himself. She just had to get to the bottom of things.
Of course, as a girl immersed in love, Ye Yanxi was no exception.
She was both looking forward to it and worried at the same time. She hoped that Xiao Yu would admit it himself instead of just brushing it off so casually.
"When did you put the ring on me? How come I didn't notice?" Her beautiful eyes were shining like stars as she stared at Xiao Yu without blinking.
The latter still had a poker - face. Only in his deep eyes was it hard to tell what he was thinking.
After a while, Xiao Yu said in a deep voice, "I put it on while you were sleeping."
Sure enough. Ye Yanxi was very happy and excited in her heart, but on the surface, she pretended to be calm and continued to ask, "Why did you suddenly put a ring on me?"
"Is there something wrong with that?"
Ye Yanxi raised her hand and looked at it carefully for a while. "But it's on the ring finger."
"What's so different about that?"
"This finger is for people who are engaged or married to wear a ring on." Ye Yanxi said seriously. "Don't you know this?"
When saying this, Ye Yanxi emphasized the words "engaged" and "married".
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment. "So that's how it is."
This was not the answer she had expected. Ye Yanxi was speechless. She then asked again, "So, what does it mean for you to put the ring on my ring finger?"
Xiao Yu stared at her finger for a while, as if he was thinking about something. He slightly curled his lips, and his cold and handsome face softened a bit. There was also a glint of light in his dark eyes. "I've already said it before."
What did he say? But she didn't hear it, right?
"When did you say it? How come I don't know?" Ye Yanxi frowned.
"I said it when I put the ring on you."
How could this count? She didn't hear it at all. Xiao Yu must be doing it on purpose!
Ye Yanxi endured the turmoil in her heart, sank her face, and said in a rather unfriendly tone, "Mr. President, I was sleeping when you put the ring on me just now, right? So I didn't hear what you said to me, did I?"
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, looking like he didn't intend to say more. He even turned his head away, not looking at her angry face. This made Ye Yanxi even more furious.
This was clearly pretending not to hear what she said. Ye Yanxi was even angrier.
But more than that, she was annoyed with herself for falling asleep at such a crucial moment. So she didn't hear a single word of Xiao Yu's affectionate confession and his innermost thoughts. Why was it different from what was shown on TV? Why did she fall asleep at the most romantic moment?
Most women have a heart longing for romance, and Ye Yanxi only discovered this about herself now.
Maybe it was because of her pregnancy before that she would occasionally have some negative emotions, which made her overthink and unsure about Xiao Yu's feelings for her. She had no sense of security at all.
While she was bowing her head in silence, Xiao Yu also turned his head and quietly stared at her. His gaze was as gentle as water. No woman could resist such a drowning kind of gentleness.
But at this time, Ye Yanxi was in low spirits. She was bowing her head in silence and didn't notice Xiao Yu's gaze on her.
Looking at her dejected look, Xiao Yu curled his lips. "Xiaoxi, you said 16 years ago that you would marry me in the future. Do you still remember this?"
Hearing this, Ye Yanxi didn't even bother to lift her head. She replied listlessly, "I remember. So what?"
"If you still remember, then it's time for you to fulfill your promise."
These words made Ye Yanxi suddenly raise her head. Her mind became a bit clearer.
He asked if she still remembered the promise and said that she should fulfill it. Was this a proposal?
Originally, she was a bit annoyed and disappointed, thinking that Xiao Yu wouldn't say anything to her. But unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiao Yu asked her again. She looked at his face with surprised eyes. Xiao Yu looked back at her seriously. His deep eyes seemed to have a magic power that instantly made her mind go blank.
So Ye Yanxi just stared blankly at him, not knowing what to answer.
Seeing her dazed look, which was extremely cute, Xiao Yu playfully moved closer. His lips almost brushed against her cheek. "So what's your answer?"
Ye Yanxi's thoughts were in a complete mess. Just as she was trying to sort them out, Xiao Yu's question made her stunned for a moment. "What? What did you just say?"
"Can't remember?" Xiao Yu's deep voice got a bit closer.
She felt surrounded by Xiao Yu's aura. His breath brushed against her cheek intentionally or unintentionally, bringing a gentle breeze and the scorching temperature emitted by his strong body. She felt her cheeks slowly burning. The current distance was really too ambiguous, making the empty room a bit stuffy.
Originally with a muddled mind, now she simply stopped thinking.
Xiao Yu was still slowly approaching. His lips moved from her tender cheek to her moist lips. The whispering was simply a fatal temptation.
"If you can't remember, I'll help you."
After saying that, Xiao Yu forcefully kissed her lips. The air became a bit scorching.
The two of them, who hadn't been intimate for a long time, made this kiss even more passionate and urgent. Ye Yanxi couldn't help but put her arms around Xiao Yu's neck so as not to let her body sink.
In the bedroom, their rapid breathing could be heard. It was not until Ye Yanxi pushed Xiao Yu away a bit resistantly, gasping for breath, that the kiss ended.
At this moment, Ye Yanxi's eyes were filled with a layer of mist. Her moist lips were even more plump, exuding a fatal temptation.
Xiao Yu, who had been holding her in his arms, suddenly let out a low growl. He got up from her and rushed into the bathroom. Ye Yanxi stared blankly as Xiao Yu walked away.
Not long after, the sound of rushing water came from the bathroom. Xiao Yu was taking a shower.
Ye Yanxi looked down at herself. Her clothes were in a terrible state. She had been so into it just now that she didn't even notice that Xiao Yu had torn her clothes again. But now she suddenly understood Xiao Yu's actions.
Presumably, he had suddenly stopped for her own good. In the past, Xiao Yu had always been strong - willed and domineering in this regard, and his needs were naturally not small. But now he could take her body into consideration and endure it. This was really rare.
This was also something the doctor had repeatedly emphasized in the hospital. When she had just woken up, she heard Xiao Yu asking the doctor about the things to pay attention to in daily life. The doctor had specifically emphasized that they must not have sex in the first three months.
Just now, maybe Xiao Yu suddenly remembered the doctor's advice.
Thinking of this, Ye Yanxi felt a bit regretful. She had just been indulged in his temptation and didn't even see his struggling look. Presumably, he must have looked really embarrassed.
However, there were still three months to go. She thought gleefully that she might still get to see it in the future.
That low growl just now really didn't match the usual style of President Xiao. Ye Yanxi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
While she was covering her mouth and laughing secretly, Xiao Yu had already finished showering and came out wrapped in a bath towel. There were still water droplets dripping from his hair as he was casually wiping it with a towel.
As soon as she saw Xiao Yu coming out, Ye Yanxi immediately stopped smiling for fear of being discovered by him.
The light in the bedroom was dim. Xiao Yu's figure was unique. Soon, Ye Yanxi couldn't help but admire him.
His cold eyebrows, slanting sword - like eyebrows, deep eyes that always had a magic power to attract people to sink, his tightly pursed thin lips. Looking down, his collarbone was beautiful and alluring. His abs must have been well - trained. His muscles were firm and powerful. His long and straight legs made every move of his seem like he was walking out of a painting. That noble and cold aura was always accompanied by his usual dominance.
Ye Yanxi's gaze on Xiao Yu gradually became hot. She swallowed involuntarily.
At this moment, she felt like a female hooligan. If she weren't pregnant, she might really not be able to resist and would pounce on Xiao Yu. Unfortunately, now she could only feast her eyes.
The doctor had earnestly said that they must not do it in the first three months.
Thinking of this, she shook her head dejectedly. Even the look in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Yu was a bit pitiful. Why did this child come at this time?
It seemed to be a kind of torture for both of them during this special period.
Just as she was daydreaming, Xiao Yu had already walked up to her at some point. Ye Yanxi came to her senses and immediately shouted at Xiao Yu with a strong reaction, waving her hands constantly. "Stay away from me! Don't get so close!"
