But Ming Ansheng interpreted her words and bitter tone in a different light. He looked over at her and flashed a wicked smile. "You're jealous?"

Su Yue frowned and coldly smiled. "Why would I be?"

She blushed.

Ming Ansheng replied, "I only bought gifts for Xiaojiao. I didn't buy any for you, so you're jealous."

He sounded certain.

"Tch." Su Yue rolled her eyes at him. "I'm not a child. Who cares about gifts?"

Then she straightened up and walked to the sofa as though it didn't bother her.

"That's true." Ming Ansheng nodded and continued, "I knew that a regular gift wouldn't be able to satisfy you…"

"Hmph!"

Su Yue suddenly snorted, and it had interrupted him.

She sounded cold and arrogant.

She seemed to suggest: 'You're right.'

Su Yue walked over and sat down beside him—she appeared calm.

Ming Ansheng flashed a gentle smiled. "Seems like I was right. So, do you like this New Year's gift?"

He raised his eyebrows at her.

Su Yue looked at him in confusion. "What gift?"

Where was it?

As she asked that, she looked around. There were only a few things in the huge box. She could see its entire contents with just one glance.

"It's right beside you," Ming Ansheng whispered in her ear.

His warm breath seductively fanned her ear.

Huh? Su Yue stared at him for quite a while before it dawned on her. But she wasn't certain. "Is it… you?"

They stared into each other's eyes, faces mere inches apart.

They could clearly feel each other's breath.

Su Yue's heart started beating wildly, and she blushed. She swallowed her saliva.

The man's gaze was so heated that it seemed to ignite her entire body. She couldn't take it any longer, and so she inched backward.

However, the man leaned in closer to her.

In a way, the distance between them remained the same.

"Uncle… Uncle Ming…" Su Yue finally tore herself away from his piercing gaze and evaded eye contact.

"Hmm?" Ming Ansheng's voice sounded slightly nasal, and it was exceptionally charming.

He leaned in even closer and closed the gap between them even more.

The tips of their noses or their lips would come into contact if Su Yue made the slightest movement.

Her heart started beating even faster.

She clenched and released her fists repeatedly.

Her palms were sweaty, even her back was sweating. She bit her lip, and she was frustrated that she had forgotten to remove her outer coat when she entered earlier.

But it didn't seem like a matter that would be solved had she taken her coat off…

Ming Ansheng stared at her and remained silent. He pressed his lips and smiled faintly. There was a wicked gleam in his eye.

"Ahh…" Su Yue's elbow was getting numb, and she wanted to move it slightly.

But unfortunately, she fell back the moment she bent her elbow.

"Be careful," Ming Ansheng reminded her gently as he caught her by the waist.

He caught her just before her back came into contact with the sofa.
