Chapter 758 Was He Putting His Guard Up against Her?

Yu Yuanxi shrugged to express that it was out of his hands. Still, he gave Fu Qingxuan a suggestion. “You could call Mom and Dad.”

Xixi and Li Yuan loved each other and were married. They were also adults, so sleeping in the same room was only natural.

Giving Yu Yuanxi the stink eye, Fu Qingxuan stormed out in a huff. His heavy stomping shook the ground.

Song Wenye glanced at Yu Yuanxi and burst out laughing

Old Man Song watched the fiasco and coughed. He turned to Song Wenye. “Why aren’t you in bed? It’s late.”

Xixi and Li Yuan were a married couple, so they could stay together. However, it was a different story with Song Wenye and Yu Yuanxi. At least, not on his watch!

Song Wenye cheekily stuck her tongue out at the old man before glancing at Yu Yuanxi. She sweetly uttered, “Goodnight.”

She then bolted upstairs.

Looking at her receding figure, Yu Yuanxi went forth and pushed the old man’s wheelchair. “Grandpa, let me push you to your room.”

“Lil’ Ye is still young. I want her to focus on her career in the next two years. Be mindful of your behavior when you’re dating.” Old Man Song did not think he was a stick-in-the-mud but everyone had been young once. It was hard for the hot-blooded youngsters to keep their hands off of each other. Nevertheless, Old Man Song had to drill it in their heads to remain cautious on certain aspects of life. “Grandpa, Lil’ Ye and I…”

“Lil’ Ye’s parents don’t care much about her. She’s been acting like a boy with a reckless attitude since she was a child. As her grandfather, I can’t talk to her about a lot of things. She’s a girl after all. Don’t let her take that kind of medicine when you’re together. It’s not good for her health.”

“Got it, Grandpa.” It never occurred to Yu Yuanxi that Old Man Song would tell him this. It made him blush. He and Lil’ Ye had not advanced to that stage.

“It’s good that you know. I’m not against you two being together, but I’m concerned you might have accidents.” “Grandpa, I’ll keep that in mind.”

“I know you’re a good kid. Thank you for assuring me.” Old Man Song could tell that the child was raised well. The kid had a heart of gold and was good to Lil’ Ye. Old Man Song was pretty content with Yu Yuanxi.

Lil’ Ye had never gotten love from her parents. An old man like him could only do so much for Lil’ Ye. His biggest hope was to see her find happiness and someone who would give her his heart before he passed on.

While bringing the old man to his room, Yu Yuanxi humbly listened and acknowledged the old man’s advice and teachings.

Back in the bedroom, Shen Xi was on the bed playing mobile games as she listened to the splashing coming from the bathroom. The vague figure of the tall man was visible through the frosted glass. Sauntering there barefooted, she tapped on the door. “Brother, can I come in?”

“No.” Li Yuan’s sexy voice bore hints of sultry huskiness.

Feeling a weird tingle, Shen Xi blushingly knocked again. This time, she sounded urgent. “I need to pee.”

He was such a stiff. Surely, he wanted her to come in!

“Go outside.” Li Yuan turned off the water and picked up a towel to dry his hair.

“I can’t hold it in much longer.” Shen Xi gave it a push, but the door did not budge. It was locked from the inside. She bit her lip in disappointment.

Was he putting his guard up against her?

Did she look like a hungry wolf?

“I’m coming out.” With Li Yuan’s voice ringing in her ear, the door was quickly opened.

Caught off guard, Shen Xi lunged forward right into the man’s arms since her weight was against the door.

The man only had a white bath towel wrapped around his waist. He had not had time to dry the water streaming down his body, and his tanned skin only made her go weak in the knees.

Shen Xi’s gaze slowly moved upwards from his abs, his chest, his exquisite collar bone, long neck, and stopped at his seductive lips. She took a gulp.

The steaminess of men sure led people astray.

As Li Yuan lowered his gaze, drops of water slid down his luscious lashes, blurring his vision when they made a splash. While fixating on the girl, he said, “Aren’t you in a hurry?”

Shen Xi stared blankly at his face. Her voice was sweet as though dipped in honey. “Brother, we’re lawfully wedded husband and wife.”

Raising his brows, Li Yuan curled his lips and chuckled in delight. Not to mention, he drawled with that sexy voice of his. “And? What do you want to do to me?”

“I… I…” Shen Xi was suddenly tongue-tied. Turning angry from embarrassment at the man’s mocking smile, she got on her tiptoes and clung to his neck for a pull before meeting her lips with his.

Li Yuan held the girl’s supple waist as she had her way with him. With downcast eyes, he saw the hazy friskiness in her eyes. With his breathing turning ragged, he took control.

It pushed the intimate tension in the room to overdrive.

The knock on the door was untimely. The hurried knocks expressed the knocker’s disgruntlement.

Li Yuan breathed heavily to calm his inner beast while resting against the girl’s forehead for a breather. His voice was alluring and raspy. “Go and take a shower. I’ll open the door.”

Bobbing her head amid gasps, Shen Xi went into the bathroom and patted her thumping heart. She smiled like an idiot. Jesus, that was thrilling

The person who knocked on the door was none other than Fu Qingxuan. With Li Yuan opening the door, Fu Qingxuan looked inside and annoyedly uttered, “Where’s my sister?”

Li Yuan smiled politely. “She’s in the shower.”

Still, Fu Qingxuan shoved Li Yuan out of the way and went into the bedroom without giving him another look. “I’ll wait for her here. Qingli wants to speak to her. There’s something he needs to ask.”

Li Yuan was not convinced. Fu Qingxuan was probably here to stop him from pulling anything on the girl. Shen Xi was in and out of the shower in ten minutes. Knowing that Fu Qingxuan was around, she put on a white bathrobe and walked out while drying her hair. “Why does Big Brother want to look for me?”

Qingli was in China and living in her house. What could not wait until they met face-to-face? Did he have to call this late in the night?

“About something.” Fu Qingxuan promised that he did not tell on her, nor mentioned they were sharing a room.

Shen Xi grabbed her phone in doubt and gave Fu Qingli a call. To her surprise, Fu Qingli actually had something to talk about. The Fu family was about to open a secondary laboratory in China, so he asked if she could attend the opening ceremony as Dr. Jiu Zhou.
