President, please comfort me.

Chapter 173 Can't Kiss?

Ye's parents had already fallen asleep last night, but were woken up by Ye Lin's phone call.

Originally, Ye's father wanted to give Ye Lin a good verbal scolding, but when he heard that Ye Lin would be bringing his "girlfriend" home today, he swallowed his anger.

Ye Lin's phone call startled the elderly couple so much that they couldn't sleep for the rest of the night and barely managed to stay awake until dawn.

At 3:30, Ye's parents, who had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, finally saw Ye Lin's car drive in.

When a beautiful, slender, and graceful girl stepped out of the car, they immediately smiled kindly.

Chen Nuo politely stepped forward to greet them: "Hello, uncles and aunts, these are pastries I made myself, I brought them for you to try."

"Oh, good, good, is it Xiao Nuo? Come in and sit down, come in and sit down." It was a rare sight for Ye's mother to see her son bring his girlfriend home, and her palms were sweating with nervousness.

Ye's father was unusually accommodating to Ye Lin, not yelling at him, and even looking at him with the eyes of a loving father.

After entering the house, Ye's mother held Chen Nuo's hand and asked her about her well-being, her eyes never leaving her.

Father Ye coughed lightly and gave Ye Lin a wink. Ye Lin understood, and the father and son went to the study together.

"You brat, this is the first time you've brought a girl home, don't try anything funny!" Mr. Ye said in a low voice, still not quite believing that his son could settle down and seriously date a girlfriend.

Ye Lin looked up speechlessly: "What tricks am I playing? I just want to have a daughter-in-law soon, so don't hold me back."

"Have you prepared the gift?" Ye Lin specifically instructed them last night to prepare a proper gift for Chen Nuo.

As for his own share, the first thing his assistant brought him this morning was a Bulgari multi-colored gemstone ring, which startled Chen Nuo so much that she thought he was going to propose on the second day of their relationship...

"Of course, if you don't find a girlfriend soon, it'll be gathering dust, hmph." Seeing that Ye Lin's attitude was fairly proper, Ye's father kept the rest of his words to himself, not wanting to put too much pressure on him at this moment.

In the living room, Ye's mother looked through the pastries Chen Nuo had brought and praised them highly: "Little Nuo, you are so skillful. Ye Lin has really struck gold."

“Auntie, Ye Lin is very good too. He’s the one who usually takes care of me.” Chen Nuo was modest, but she was telling the truth. In front of her, Ye Lin always seemed to be the one who took the initiative to accommodate her.

Is that so? Mother Ye was delighted to hear that.

The father and son came out of the study, and Ye Lin sat down next to Chen Nuo without any hesitation, naturally taking her hand.

Seeing this, Ye's mother quietly nudged Ye's father, who cleared his throat and immediately handed the gift box to Chen Nuo: "Nu, this is a gift from your aunt and me to welcome you. Open it and see if you like it."

Before Chen Nuo could respond, Ye Lin had already reached out and taken it, placing it in her hand: "Take a look?"

Upon seeing this, Chen Nuo thanked him softly and slowly opened it, only to find a fist-sized luminous pearl inside!

The bead is round and smooth, like the bright moon fallen from the sky. Although it is not night yet, you can still see that it emits a soft and bright light.

Ah, isn't this the "Starfish Pearl" that caused a sensation at the auction a few years ago, which was presented as the grand finale at an extremely high price? I never expected that the old man would actually buy it!

Ye Lin raised an eyebrow, clearly indicating that the gift suited his taste.

Chen Nuo's eyes widened in surprise; the bead was clearly very valuable: "Uncle and Aunt, this is too precious..."

Mother Ye quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Silly child, compared to you, this is nothing. Please accept it."

Ye Lin was very considerate of Chen Nuo's feelings from beginning to end. Seeing that she was a little uneasy, he subconsciously tightened his grip on her hand and said softly, "Take it, Nuo Nuo. You deserve all the good things in life."

Oh dear, this man is too presumptuous! He actually said such intimate things in front of his elders. Chen Nuo's face flushed red, and she could only gratefully accept the gift and reply softly, "Okay, thank you, Uncle and Aunt."

Seeing Chen Nuo's happy expression, Ye Lin couldn't help but smile.

Because of Chen Nuo, the family of three spent two hours together in a rare, harmonious and pleasant atmosphere.

At dinner, Ye Lin still prioritized Chen Nuo, taking meticulous care of her. He would ask if she was thirsty, and then thoughtfully serve her food, soup, and tissues. In short, he was a complete "henpecked husband."

Ye's parents had never seen Ye Lin so pathetic. They exchanged a knowing smile, secretly thinking that this prospective daughter-in-law was definitely going to be theirs.

……

After the meal, although Ye's parents tried their best to persuade them to stay, Chen Nuo finally took Ye Lin back to Hong Kong Pearl after Ye Lin's strong urging.

The visit of "relatives" was somewhat of a nuisance, but Ye Lin finally got his wish and was allowed to enter the house. How could he let such a good opportunity pass by? As soon as he closed the door, Ye the Big Bad Wolf couldn't help but reveal his true nature.

"Ye Lin..." A voice filled with unbearable frustration escaped from Chen Nuo's lips.

"Hmm?" The big bad wolf responded a beat late.

"No more, I can't breathe, go away..." Chen Nuo gripped Ye Lin's clothes tightly with both hands, feeling like she was about to drown in his raging storm.

Upon hearing that Chen Nuo was having trouble breathing, Ye Lin, though reluctant to leave, dared not act rashly and retreated with a hiss.

A silver thread appeared, and he used it to remove the glistening shine from the corner of his mouth without wasting a single drop.

"Can't kiss?" Ye Lin lowered his head slightly, his gaze fixed intently on the little woman beneath him, her lips red and her breath coming in gasps.

His adorable appearance made his Adam's apple bob involuntarily, and a strong possessiveness surged into his heart. After some struggle and consideration, he finally couldn't resist.

What Ye Lin really wanted to ask was—their first kiss? Although he knew in his heart that the possibility was extremely slim, well, what if it happened! Okay, he was just being a smart aleck, it bothered him.

"Huh?" Chen Nuo was taken aback, and hesitantly looked up, his clear eyes filled with innocence and confusion.

Ye Lin felt inexplicably guilty under her innocent gaze. He was afraid she would discover his little scheme, and even more afraid she would mistake him for a seasoned playboy with expert kissing skills.

But in fact, that kiss just yesterday was his first kiss ever!

"It's nothing. If you can't breathe, just practice more. Practice makes perfect." Ye Lin's eyes darted away, not daring to meet her gaze again. He leaned down, wanting to continue the sweet moment they had just shared.

Unexpectedly, Chen Nuo saw his reaction clearly and suddenly seemed to understand. Just a second before they were about to touch, she suddenly stretched out her hands and placed them against his chest, preventing him from getting closer.

Depend on!

Upon seeing her reaction, Ye Lin was immediately filled with regret; he really didn't want to upset his girlfriend...
