Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Happy Birthday, Old Man
Shi Yu walked in with light and steady steps, he tested the temperature of the dishes on the dining table with his hand, they had completely cooled down.
The night breeze blew in through the window, brushing the rose petals and emitting a faint fragrance.
The flickering candlelight intertwined with the dim light from the crystal chandelier, creating an indescribable romance.
A warm current seemed to flow through his heart, and ripples formed in his usually calm eyes.
He slowly walked to the sofa, bent down slightly, and looked at the woman sleeping.
Her thin clothes were casually draped over her body, with a silk light quilt beside her, yet it only covered her legs.
In that instant, Shi Yu’s heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, slightly aching.
He took off his own coat and carefully placed it over Shen Cheng, his movements gentle as if he were handling a porcelain doll.
If he touched too hard, she would shatter.
His movements were very light, yet they still woke up the typically sensitive Shen Cheng.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, slowly opening them, as she looked up at the magnified handsome face before her, she frowned slightly, "You’re back."
After speaking, she raised her slender arm to hook it around Shi Yu’s neck, leaned her body forward, and actively offered a kiss.
"Congratulations, you’re one year older, uncle."
Her lips held a light smile as delicate as water, and in the dim environment, her exquisite features appeared even more three-dimensional and perfect.
Looking at Shen Cheng in front of him, Shi Yu felt all the exhaustion wash away from his body.
He raised the corner of his mouth, a glint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.
"The uncle’s little woman."
"Mhm." Shen Cheng shook his neck with a hooked hand and laughed charmingly, "Being pampered by the uncle, spoiled by the uncle, loved by the uncle, and even slept with by the uncle. My life is too miserable!"
"Hmm?" Shi Yu narrowed his eyes, but his smile deepened, "So, you’re unwilling?"
Meeting his gaze, the smile on Shen Cheng’s face spread wider, "I suppose I’m reluctantly willing."
Shi Yu pressed his forehead against hers, his voice taking on a hint of ambiguity: "My Little Elf."
Shen Cheng then loosened her hold around his neck, "Hungry, aren’t you? The food has gone cold; I will go heat it up."
As she spoke, she was about to rise from the sofa.
Without waiting for a response, Shi Yu directly gripped her shoulders and pressed her back down, his previously gentle gaze turning somewhat cold, and his voice also dropped in temperature: "You waited for me for several hours?"
Shen Cheng slightly lifted her head to look at him, not hiding it, "Over three hours..."
"Silly woman." Shi Yu’s gaze grew colder: "Told you to obediently eat and sleep, are you that well-behaved, hmm?"
Although his words were reproachful, his voice was indescribably gentle.
Shen Cheng moved closer to him voluntarily, kissed him softly on the lips, nestled into his chest to listen to his strong heartbeat, her voice much softer: "Today was so special, how could I not wait for you."
Shi Yu rested his chin on her head, greedily inhaling the fragrance of her hair, his thin lips parted slightly: "No more reckless behavior in the future."
"What if I say no."
"I’ll sleep you to death."
"...Too fierce."
"Isn’t that what you like about my fierceness?" Shi Yu raised an eyebrow, looking down at Shen Cheng, his lips curving in a mischievous smile.
"Hooligan!"
As soon as Shen Cheng finished speaking, Shi Yu bent down to scoop her up horizontally and headed upstairs.
"Aren’t you going to eat?" Shen Cheng asked him.
"I’ll eat you first, see if you dare to disobey again." He clearly hadn’t forgotten this woman’s coldness to him during the day.
