Chapter 41: The Desire in One's Eyes Cannot Be Concealed

She didn't even notice what Lu Ye was wearing at the moment. Yet, out of the corner of her eye, that body radiating with hormones always tempted her to turn her head for a proper look... no, to properly appreciate it.

Aunt Zhang spotted Jiang Sui through the crack in the door and immediately got up to come out. Lu Xuanxuan, however, didn't notice and was still venting at Aunt Zhang. "Did you hear me, Aunt Zhang? I want to play with the phone, I want to play with the phone!"

When Aunt Zhang came out and saw Lu Ye, she paused in surprise. In her memory, she had never seen the master and madam standing together like this before. Moreover, when she came out, the master seemed to be watching the madam?

But... looking at them now, the master and madam truly were the perfect pair—talented gentleman and beautiful lady.

"Has Xuanxuan always been like this?" Jiang Sui asked quietly, her tone serious.

Lu Ye also looked at Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang nodded. "Miss Xuanxuan actually always kicks up a fuss before bed. It’s not necessarily about the phone; sometimes she wants something else. Ever since you came back from filming the show, even though you told her to sleep independently, she still insists on calling for you every night. She'll fuss for quite a while before falling asleep."

Lu Ye frowned slightly and said calmly, "Then let her be. Once she's had enough, she'll sleep."

Jiang Sui shot him a look. "So you plan to let her grow up always remembering this, turning it into a childhood trauma?"

Lu Ye: "..."

Only then did Jiang Sui's gaze shift to Lu Ye.

Lu Ye was dressed in black loungewear—a V-neck shirt that revealed just enough from collarbone down to the chest, exposing what should be seen and concealing what should be hidden.

His broad shoulders and narrow waist, along with the faint outlines of abdominal muscles, clearly belonged to a man who worked out regularly and was extremely self-disciplined. Yet, such a provocative outfit, on him, appeared nothing short of elegant and expensive. Even the creases in his clothes seemed to fall perfectly in line with her secret preferences.

For some reason, Jiang Sui suddenly felt the urge to pinch this man's waist.

Oh no.

No dirty thoughts allowed.

The more attractive the man, the more dangerous he was.

This man might just finish her off one day.

Lu Ye's deep, dark eyes fell on Jiang Sui.

But as soon as she sensed his gaze, Jiang Sui simply walked straight into the room.

A complicated light flickered in his eyes as he watched her retreating figure.

A buddy of his once said, "The chemistry between men and women is something mysterious. Do you know why, in a bar, just a glance between a man and a woman is enough for both to know if the other wants to sleep with them? It's because, at that moment, both give off a special kind of energy and message. Even without words, you can feel the other wants you in their bed."

He felt it.

Just now, she had thoughts about his body.

It might not mean she wanted to sleep with him, but she clearly liked what she saw.

Unlike before, her reaction this time actually excited him.

Would she be able to sense it, too?

Of course Jiang Sui sensed it. Just now, Lu Ye's gaze matched his name—wild and primal, filled with desire.

Though he exercised restraint and showed no outward sign, she didn't really understand Lu Ye, nor could she read what was on his mind.

But the desire to sleep with someone—such a look could never be hidden.

Was it because she was dressed lightly tonight, making Lu Ye a bit impulsive?

But in the past, Jiang Sui had worn even less in her attempts to seduce him.

Oh, she understood now.

He was a man who, though having those urges, was masterful at self-control?

On this point, Jiang Sui was mistaken.

In fact, Lu Ye only ever felt this itch in his heart—for her, at this moment.

Never before.

But Jiang Sui didn’t dwell on it.

"Mommy Jiang Sui!" Lu Xuanxuan lit up with joy the moment she saw her.
