After Ling Yiran placed the ingredients in the fridge, she turned around to see Yi Jinli leaning on the kitchen’s door frame, pondering about something as he looked at her.
Ling Yiran turned away in an attempt to avoid Yi Jinli’s gaze. The thing was, if she wanted to exit the kitchen, she would have to face the possibility of being pulled by the arm by him. “You haven’t said goodnight to me,” He said to her.
Ling Yiran was taken aback for a moment but quickly replied, “Goodnight.”
A smile broke out on Yi Jinli’s face while he was still staring at her. “Sis, your goodnight seems to be getting more perfunctory.”
“...” Ling Yiran was speechless and did not know how to respond.
“Someone suggested that if I want you to like me, I should try to please you.” Yi Jinli bent down and looked at the person in front of him at eye level. “What do you think? Would you like me if I pleased you?”
Ling Yiran had the urge to bite her tongue. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at him. ‘What is he saying? He... wants to please me?!
‘Why would he say such things?!’
Ling Yiran’s expression seemed to amuse Yi Jinli. “Why? Are you that shocked to hear me say that I want to please you?”
At that moment, Ling Yiran felt as if all the words she had wanted to say were stuck in her throat.
Yi Jinli raised his hand and gently touched her lips. “So, Sis, you should realize how much I want you to like me. Tell me, how should I please you to make you like me?”
Ling Yiran’s face seemed to flush as her heart pounded rapidly.
In the past, Old Master Yi would visit the grave of Yi Jinli’s father with him. However, ever since the old man’s health began to deteriorate, Yi Jinli began visiting the grave before visiting his grandfather.
“How do you think your father would feel if he knew you’re being bewitched by a woman? I think he’d give you a slap to wake up!” Old Master Yi scoffed.
Old Master Yi did not like the fact that he was gradually losing control of his grandson.
“Grandpa, are you trying to remind me about something?” Yi Jinli raised his brows as he looked at the old man. His pair of eyes that looked like peach blossoms were so beautiful that they reminded the old man of Yi Jinli’s mother.
‘Those eyes look so alike that woman’s!’
If it had not been for that woman in the past, Old Master Yi would not have been on bad terms with his son. Consequently, his son would not have left home and died outside.
