Chapter 1071: You’re the only one I see.

Yu Lili’s heart twisted and ached.

Putting down the bowls of noodles, she went to the bedroom to retrieve a blanket and covered him with it.

Since Ou Ming was a light sleeper, Yu Lili made her actions extremely light out of fear of waking him.

After covering him with the blanket, Yu Lili quietly brought the noodles back to the kitchen. Following that, she put on a coat, a hat, and a scarf before stepping out of the house.

Ou Ming hadn’t had a good rest since his return from Japan. The moment he returned to China, a thousand and one tasks awaited him. Even he didn’t expect to fall asleep so easily.

He awakened to the aroma of something cooking.

Setting the blanket aside, Ou Ming stretched his back. A mild cacophony could be heard coming from the kitchen.

The sound was very soft as if it was deliberately quieted.

Ou Ming crept into the kitchen silently, and there he saw Yu Lili cooking.

An apron was tied around her waist, and a wok was in her hand. From the back, with her pixie haircut and the cream scarf around her slender frame, Yu Lili looked perfect to Ou Ming.

Ou Ming made his way forward and embraced her from behind.

Yu Lili wasn’t expecting that and so was very shocked. When she turned her head, she was greeted with Ou Ming’s sensual eyes. His eyes, the color of dark brown hazelnut, revealed a trace of mischief.

Ou Ming leaned over, and she realized his irises were rose colored. He lowered his voice, “Did I scare you?”

Yu Lili relaxed and gave him a look of admonishment. “Why were your steps so silent?”

Ou Ming tightened his embrace, lessening their proximity even more. Gazing intently at her face, he asked, “What are you cooking?”

“See for yourself.”

“I can’t see it.” Ou Ming’s eyes never left hers. “When you’re around, you’re the only thing I see.”

Yu Lili’s jaw dropped. She turned around to switch off the stove and said, “Wash your hands. Food’s almost ready.”

But Ou Ming didn’t listen. Instead, he leaned forward for a kiss and gently sucked on her lips.

Yu Lili’s eyes drifted shut in response, but she moved away after a second. “Dinner time.”

Ou Ming reluctantly released her, but not before he planted another quick kiss on her lips. “Alright.”

After washing his hands and sitting at the table, he took a bowl of rice from Yu Lili and dug in.

Yu Lili was a light eater; a few mouthfuls and her hunger was satiated. She rested her chin on both hands and gazed over at Ou Ming.

Ou Ming ate and smiled at the same time. He looked up at her and wiggled his brows. “Are my handsome looks that irresistible?”

“Damn you.” Yu Lili’s laughter rang out, but she composed her features almost immediately. “New Year’s coming soon, and you’re still so busy? This is usually vacation time.”

“The company has one more project left. We’re almost done with it.” Ou Ming looked up, and the concern he saw on her face warmed his heart. “Thanks to you, the issue with Shen Manting has been resolved. Otherwise, that would have kept me busy for a while too.”

Yu Lili blinked her eyes in surprise. “Really?”

“Yeah. The matter regarding Shen Luo’an and Shen Manting shifted the focus away from me, and there have a lot less reporters keeping an eye on me. So it’s been a lot more convenient. And it’s all thanks to you.”

The only problem was that this did not come at the right time. Although it solved the problem of his reputation, it created a new crisis with Qiao Ziqing. But Yu Lili remained in the dark, and upon hearing Ou Ming’s words, she let out a sigh of relief. “I thought I had caused trouble for you. I was so worried the past few days!”
