Chapter 519
After completely understanding that there really was no problem between Jiang Jiahan and herself, He Ruiting's mood could finally be considered to have eased up.
But even knowing that Sheng Lin and Jiang Jiahan were not suspicious, He Ruiting still did not give her any face at all. He immediately turned around and chased her away, but what was better was that he did not let the servant do anything.
"You can go now."
Although Sheng Lin felt that she had lost face after being chased out brazenly, when she thought back to how He Ruiting treated her earlier, she endured the anger in her heart and left while feeling wronged.
Without Sheng Lin, the living room returned to its previous tranquility once more, but after experiencing the questioning just now, the atmosphere was still clearly somewhat somber.
Su Jinyi, on the other hand, did not feel anything from He Ruiting's actions. She sensed that the atmosphere was not right and immediately stood up to ease the tension. Especially when she felt Xiao Qiu's uneasiness, it was the first to pacify her emotions.
"Come, let's continue eating. Otherwise, she will definitely be unhappy to have wasted Na
y Lin's effort. In the future, you guys will not be able to eat her cooking anymore."
Su Jinyi warned with a half joking tone. Duan Yunxuan was the first to react, following immediately behind her words. The two of them combined had finally lifted the atmosphere.
Xiao Qiu had been depressed the moment she entered the room, even with Duan Yunxuan and Su Jinyi trying their best to reconcile, he still had some problems in her heart that he could not solve.
Su Jinyi, who understood Xiao Qiu's thoughts, was a little moved in her heart, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, at this time, she could only give Duan Yunxuan a meaningful glance to try and coax him.
As for herself, she still had another heavy responsibility, taking advantage of Duan Yunxuan and Xiao Qiu being together with him, Su Jinyi secretly extended her hand and grabbed He Ruiting's hand that was on her leg. She looked at him in confusion and smiled, it was bright and warm.
A lover would only need to look at one another to understand each other. He Ruiting knew that Su Jinyi was comforting him, and with a twitch of his heart, all the depression from before was thrown to the back of his mind.
With Su Jinyi and Duan Yunxuan's efforts, Xiao Qiu and He Ruiting quickly recovered their senses, and the atmosphere around their gathering finally returned to how it was before.
"Come, cheers! Congratulations to Brother Ting!"
Just as it was about to end, Duan Yunxuan suddenly raised his glass and revealed his real purpose for coming to this gathering.
Na
y Lin watched on from the side, her already wrinkled face unconsciously revealed a smile. Witnessing their difficulty, she, who had watched He Ruiting grow up, felt gratified from the bottom of her heart.
After eating her fill, Xiao Qiu, who had already finished playing, was still noisy and said that she wanted to continue playing. It was a pity that the children did not cooperate and continued to cry, causing Duan Yunxuan to have no choice but to bring Xiao Qiu and her mother home.
Watching Duan Yunxuan's family leaving, and seeing Duan Yunxuan's flustered hands and feet, as if he was taking care of two children, He Ruiting and Su Jinyi couldn't help but smile at each other.
"Let's go back, Na
y Lin is still packing up, we need to go and help."
Seeing Duan Yunxuan's car gradually disappear into the night, Su Jinyi was the first to speak, thinking of how everyone had gathered after the meal, she could not help but feel sorry for Na
y Lin, hence she suggested to help.
He Ruiting was not surprised by Su Jinyi's words. To him, as long as he was with Su Jinyi, he had no objections to anything he did.
However, Su Jinyi's plan was already stopped by the Na
y Lin before she could even implement it. Looking at the determined look on Na
y Lin's face, Su Jinyi could not help but feel helpless.
"Miss Su, there's really no need for that. I'll take care of these myself. Sir, since the night is so good outside, why don't we go for a walk with Miss Su? Why do you want to steal my work? "
Na
y Lin had watched He Ruiting grow up and had long treated him as his own son in his heart. Seeing that Su Jinyi and He Ruiting's relationship was not bad, she was happier than anyone else in her heart. She was even more so seizing every opportunity to give the two of them a chance to be alone.
Hearing Na
y Lin's words, Su Jinyi's ears became slightly red. Fortunately, her hair was covering them, so it wasn't very obvious.
He Ruiting didn't think much of it. He knew that the Na
y Lin truly hoped that he and Su Jinyi would be fine.
"Let's go, Na
y Lin has already said so. If we don't leave now, we will really be a
oyed by her."
Although He Ruiting felt wronged when he said this, the corner of his mouth had not sunk down yet. Su Jinyi still wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that his hand was not light nor heavy because of someone's pinching, and all the words immediately choked his mouth, obediently allowing He Ruiting to bring them out.
The cold moonlight shone through the sparse gaps in the trees, casting mottled shadows on the ground. A figure that was nestling against each other, one tall and the other short, slowly grew out from the same root.
There were no other families near the villa. Su Jinyi was worried about He Ruiting's health and did not wish to go too far.
He Ruiting did not feel that it was noisy, but instead enjoyed the feeling of being lectured. Under the hazy moonlight, the two of them were softly conversing. That was a sweet talk that belonged solely to them.
"That's enough. Let's just walk for today. Your body is just right. You won't make it in time if you pass."
Seeing that He Ruiting was about to pull him along, Su Jinyi stopped in time and gently rebuked him.
He Ruiting, who was a little excited, immediately said that he was fine and wanted to walk a little more. However, he discovered that Su Jinyi was standing in place without moving, staring straight at him.
He Ruiting touched the side of his nose uncomfortably, a trace of u
aturalness flashing across his eyes. They really could not reject Su Jinyi, so the two of them slowly walked back, and because of He Ruiting's dawdling, they walked for half an hour.
Su Jinyi, who had always been worried about He Ruiting's body, immediately urged him to take a hot bath the moment he returned. After he roughly washed up, Su Jinyi even personally helped him knead his body, afraid that he would feel tired from his recently recovered body.
"I've already made you pay attention to your body. If you really get injured, I definitely won't care about you!"
Seeing He Ruiting obediently following his orders to soak in the bath, Su Jinyi's complexion improved slightly. Squatting beside the bathtub, he carefully began to massage it, only to discover that his muscles were already somewhat stiff, and couldn't help but complain.
Su Jinyi was still blabbering on, she didn't notice that the loose silk pajamas had gradually fallen off due to her lowering her head at all. The color of He Ruiting's eyes became deeper and deeper as she unintentionally saw this. An unknown flame slowly gathered in the depths of his eyes as his eyes became fiery hot.
"AHH!" Su Jinyi, who had yet to react, cried out in alarm. All of her breaths were swept away, and her entire body was like a drifting boat, enduring the fierce winds and rain that came from He Ruiting.
