On the contrary, Ye Sui’s anger had subsided by now, but the fat child was still crying.
The chubby child was the one who bullied people and had never been on the receiving end.
This strange aunt was so fierce!

He rubbed his face with his chubby little hands, sat on the ground, and started making a ruckus.
He shouted in a child-like voice, “Aunt is bad.
Aunt bullied me.”

No matter whether a person or a ghost, an unreasonable child was always very effective.
Ye Sui helplessly walked up to him, took a piece of candy out of her bag, and stuffed it into his hand.

The child stopped weeping.
He peeked at Ye Sui’s face through his fingers and saw her gentle and beautiful look.

“Thank you, Aunt.” The fat boy peeled the candy cover and stuffed it into his mouth.

The fat child looked only five or six years old, and there seemed to be nothing wrong addressing Ye Sui as “Aunt”.
However, Ye Sui, who was suddenly called Aunt Ye Sui, still inexplicably felt that her age had gone up.

Tonight, Ye Sui wanted to maintain her idol image, so she corrected the ghost-child.
“Don’t call me Aunt; call me Older Sister instead.”

The fat child uttered reluctantly, “Older Sister.”

The word “Older Sister” touched Ye Sui’s heart as she caressed his fat-head.
“You’re so smart.”

Chen Shu: “…”

On the way back, Chen Shu glanced at Ye Sui from time to time.

Although the matter was over, he still remembered Ye Sui’s look of regret after being disturbed by a ghost child in the street.

When they returned to their district, it was already very late.
After getting out of the car, Ye Sui stuck to Chen Shu and squeezed her hand into his palm.
She never saw a ghost along the way.

They safely arrived at their house.

Ye Sui opened the door and entered the house in silence.
She changed into the warm cotton slippers at the door.
Just as she was about to walk into her room, Chen Shu stopped and stood still in the living room.
He finally broke the silence.
“Wait a minute.”

Ye Sui stopped, turned, and looked over, not knowing what Chen Shu was going to say.
She stood there, watching Chen Shu walk towards her.

Chen Shu slowly walked in front of Ye Sui and bent over while staring into her eyes.
Their gazes met in the stillness of the night.

Then, the next second, Chen Shu bowed his head and stroked Ye Sui’s face.
The distance between the two quickly narrowed.

Ye Sui froze as Chen Shu seized her lips and kissed them gently.
A soft touch sucked the sweetness of her lips.

She was astonished by his sudden kiss.

Her throat quivered and gave a soft guttural sound.
She circled her hands around his neck, teased the tip of his tongue, and kissed him back.

They kissed for a long time.
Ye Sui raised her eyes, loosened her hug, and looked at Chen Shu, who finally explained it to her, “Didn’t you want to finish it?”

So when they came back, Chen Shu remembered to make it up to her.

Ye Sui’s eyebrows raised.
Chen Shu was such a principled person.
Even when he kissed someone, he was so serious and meticulous.

She stood on tiptoe and planted his face with kisses, imprinting all the remaining lipstick on her lips onto his cheek.

Chen Shu was dazzled by her impulsive behavior.
He stood rooted in his place and was stunned for a while.

Ye Sui gave a genuine smile, turned around, and ran like a deer.
As she neared to her room, she dropped some parting words.

“Good night, darling.” Her soft, moving voice sounded in their quite home, making the air full of sweetness

Chen Shu looked at Ye Sui’s back and touched his cheek.
Her lips seemed to have left their warmth.

The door of Ye Sui’s room was closed, and there was only one person left in the living room.

Chen Shu also entered his room, took off his coat to take a bath, and stood in front of the mirror.
But when he saw the lipstick marks on his face, he was stupefied again.

The dim light swept across the room, and the scene from before flashed in his mind.

Chen Shu’s lips turned into a smile.
He stretched his arm and turned on the faucet.
The warm water ran through his fingers as he wiped off the marks left on his face by Ye Sui.

Outside the window, the snow was still fluttering everywhere.
Except for the sound of snow falling all over the sky, the restlessness of the day had been covered with nothing but silence, and the night was getting deeper and deeper.

A good night’s dream separated the ice and snow outside the window.

The day before New Year’s Eve.

As night came, the snow began to fall from the sky, giving the dark sky a speck of snow-white.

Since the morning, Chen Shu had not seen Ye Sui.
She had a busy schedule and would not have a formal holiday until tomorrow.

Yesterday, Chen Shu had received a phone call from the Chen Mansion.
His father especially reminded him to come home for New Year’s Eve’s celebration.

Since Ye Sui had work to do, she naturally couldn’t go there.
Therefore, Chen Shu could only go there by himself.

After Chen Shu came back from Huarui company, an empty house greeted him.
It turned out that with one person missing, it became so lonely.

Chen Shu didn’t change his clothes and didn’t go back to his room either.
He just sat on the sofa and looked at the short message that Ye Sui had sent him during the day.

Ye Sui reminded Chen Shu that when he went to the Chen Mansion tonight, he must not let them bully him like last time, not caring about it.

Ye Sui sent this message during her spare time.
She was too busy to do so now, so she had not been able to contact Chen Shu.

Chen Shu read the message over and over again, staring at every word for a long time.

The next second, his cell phone rang suddenly in the quiet room.
The Chen Family’s car had arrived downstairs to pick him up.

By the time Chen Shu arrived, there were already many guests.
As soon as he stepped in, all the people of the Chen family looked at him.

Some of them knew about Chen Shu’s crisis at the age of 30, yet here he was, safe and sound.

Old Master Chen’s attitude towards Chen Shu was a little more cordial than before.
Although he said it was compensation, it seemed to be some other reason.

Everyone speculated whether Old Master Chen had changed his mind and if the Chen Family’s heir would be replaced.

They all knew that Chen Shu’s recent career had been smooth, which showed that he was competent.

By comparison, Chen Xiu was only a celebrity in the entertainment industry and had no experience of running any company.
Hence, Chen Shu had a better chance to be the successor.

Everyone had their own ideas, so their attitude towards Chen Shu also changed from normal to warmer.

“Chen Shu, I heard that your career has been going well recently.
If you are in trouble, you can call me at any time.” An elder of the Chen Family took the initiative to propose a toast.
He then fished out his business card to hand it to him.

Chen Shu took the business card, looking calm and composed.
He was not flattered by his actions.

In addition to this elder, many people come over one after another, all of whom wanted to ease their relationships with Chen Shu.

If Chen Shu became the heir, it was necessary to have a good relationship with him.

Chen Xiu, who was not far away, naturally saw this scene.
It made him feel that he had lost face with Chang Ying standing beside him.

Usually, no matter whether it was a large or small occasion, everyone served him first, but now, everyone was praising Chen Shu.

Although these relatives were still inclined toward him, the changes in their actions were more like an omen to him.
This might be the beginning of something important to be taken away from him.

It turned out that it was not only him who thought this.
Even his relatives sniffed out the change in the direction of the wind.

Even though Chen Xiu had been in the entertainment industry for so many years and had starred in a lot of movies, for the first time, he could not manage his expression well.
His face sank.

Chang Ying always paid attention to Chen Xiu’s look, so the changes in Chen Xiu’s gaze fell into her eyes.

She would be forever beneath Ye Sui if Chen Xiu couldn’t inherit the Chen Family’s wealth.

Chen Shu paid no attention to what Chen Xiu wanted, and he even felt that the others neglecting him in the past made him more at ease.

Still, these people’s actions let him see their hypocrisy, and he couldn’t help thinking of Ye Sui again.

Chen Shu’s cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket, and he gestured to the man who was about to toast him.
“I’ll answer the phone first.”

Chen Shu finally broke away from the suffocating dinner party.
He walked into the garden and felt the cold gust of air, wondering if Ye Sui’s work was over for her to call him.
When Chen Shu’s eyes fell on the mobile phone screen with delight, it suddenly darkened.

The phone rang for a long time.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Chen Shu pressed the answer button, a moment before the ringtone ended.

“A’Shu.”
