He Was Shining With The Stars Chapter 24: A long long nigh

She chose to walk all the way back. She felt a little hungry on the way, so she went to buy a rice ball from a convenience store on the side of the road.

After opening its wrapping paper and having two mouthfuls, she felt the appetite gone. She stuffed it into the pocket, feeling like crying.

All alone, she felt it not easy to live in this world.

After finding Papa …

Ye dared not think about it. She dared not think about whether his father was only temporarily missing for some particular reasons, or whether he had already died …

The rice ball still warm in her pocket, she arrived at Dihao Garden.

The light on the porch was on when she came to open the door.

The dappled light seemed to be exactly waiting for someone back.

In a trance, she changed her shoes and walked in slowly.

Mu Tingchen was lying on the couch, watching some financial channels on the TV.

The gray nightgown was casually put on his body but he still appeared so handsome in such loose style of clothing. He just seemed to be born with that kind of power – to bring whatever he wore to life.

Ye pursed her lips and went over to sit next to him.

His body gave off a refreshing smell, which was a great consolation to her like a pebble thrown into her gloomy heart and bringing with endless warmth.

Mu turned off the TV and reached out to rub her head.

He really missed her after these days' separation.

“Have you eaten yet?”

Ye remembered the rice ball in her pocket and nodded.

“Uncle, does old house have to be sold?”

Although he had already made it clear to her that the old house was temporarily mortgaged to the bank, and he had got his plan.

But she still felt very unassured after she was asked to really move everything out.

“You don't believe in me?”

Asked by him in this way, Ye actually wanted to answer “Yes”.

But she dared not.

Waiting for her answer, he noticed the subtle expression on her face and couldn't help laughing out.

In the quiet room, he took her hand.

It was the first time he had held her hand so seriously.

Ye felt a little awkward, but she contained herself.

“I'm a businessman.” He suddenly said, “Our deal is based on trust.”

Hearing what he said, Ye felt a little more assured, but soon she felt scared now.

Deal …

“Ahem, ahem”

He suddenly coughed twice and the light in the living room went out.

Ye felt her heart tight and sensed his smell was getting stronger.

It kept getting stronger until her view was completely blocked by his huge body

All she could discern was flickering light, which surrounded him.

With no extra words or actions, he just leaned down and kissed her.

And it just happened between them on the couch in this quiet deep night.

She had been exhausted by the ruthless reality and the heartbroken emptying of the old house these days. Despair and anguish had never ceased to torture her until now she walked into this another abyss created by Mu. She got stuck in it and blackness had blinded her eyes. She felt it better anyway.

This might be the reason why she was unwilling to push him away!

She thought like this.

There was a slight smell of smoke in his mouth, which grew stronger as he dug his tongue into her mouth.

But Ye hated the smell of smoke and her dislike of it had existed since she was a child.

Unable to bear the smell, she pushed him away frowningly.
