The thunder roared outside the window, and a light rain pattered down.
Su Xiyue's face was a bloom of smiles, but the chill in her eyes was clearly visible. Ye Chen felt the cold qi within the carriage and subconsciously shuddered.
"Xiyue, it was just a joke, don't take it seriously."
Ye Chen said with an awkward smile on his face.
Su Xiyue's lips curved into a smirk, then she turned her head away, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.
By the time Ye Chen and Su Xiyue returned to the villa, the light rain had stopped.
After being washed by the rain, the night turned cool. Walking on the pathway of the villa's courtyard, a fragrant earthen aroma met them, and glistening droplets rolled on colorful flowers and plants, casting different glimmers under the light.
Su Xiyue entered the living room and instead of going upstairs as usual, headed for the kitchen.
"Xiyue, what are you doing in the kitchen?"
Ye Chen was surprised and asked with a perplexed look.
