Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 3001 The Only Thing You Can't Hide From Me

However, Tokino clearly had no intention of giving up.

Taking advantage of Xia Lin's momentary lapse in attention, he suddenly reached out and steadily lifted her up by the waist, gently placing her on the table to sit down.

Caught off guard, Charlene let out a short gasp and almost instinctively reached out to grab his shoulder, barely managing to steady herself.

Her heart was pounding, and she asked, "Wh...what's wrong?"

Shi Ye approached, placing his hands on the table on either side of her body, trapping her in the narrow space between him and the table.

He leaned down slightly, his gaze fixed on her, his voice low but carrying an undeniable air of authority, "But I want to know, tell me, okay?"

Charlene's cheeks flushed, and she instinctively raised her hand to push against his chest, her voice filled with embarrassment and annoyance, "No... how can you do this!"

But Shi Ye remained completely still, as if her strength was nothing more than a gentle breeze.

He moved even closer, his warm breath almost brushing against her cheek.

The distance between the two was so close it was unsettling.

He spoke again, his voice even lower, a mix of coaxing and threat, "Speak. Otherwise, I'll..."

The words were left unsaid, which only made the situation seem more ambiguous and dangerous.

Charlene's heart tightened, and her voice became hoarse as she asked in a low voice, "Otherwise... what should we do?"

Shino did not answer immediately, but a meaningful smile appeared on his lips, and a cunning glint flashed in his eyes.

He stared at her like that, as if admiring her current panic and helplessness.

Then, he suddenly leaned down and deliberately kissed her lower lip, gently rubbing it with an almost provocative tone.

Xia Lin noticed that the awkwardness of that night had gradually faded with Shi Ye's feelings.

His movements became increasingly skillful, as if he had long been familiar with the art.

His kiss deepened, their lips and tongues intertwining.

Charlene felt as if her breath had been almost completely stolen away, and she felt as if she were floating on a cloud, yet she was firmly imprisoned by his breath.

His offensive was like a siege, gradually eroding her reason.

Just as she was about to suffocate, Shi Ye suddenly released her.

His lips brushed close to her ear, and he whispered seductively, "Can you tell me?"

Charlene was still in a daze, her eyes unfocused, as if she hadn't yet recovered from the intensity of what had just happened.

It took her a while to gradually come to her senses and realize what he was asking.

She lowered her eyes shyly, her voice barely audible, tinged with a hint of coquettishness, "If I don't tell... you're bullying me."

Shi Ye chuckled softly, a laugh tinged with pride and indulgence.

He nodded slightly, looking intently at her, his tone laced with a hint of roguishness, "Yeah, I'll just tease you."

After saying that, he leaned closer again and gently captured her lips, sometimes biting lightly, sometimes slowly nibbling.

Charlene's words were once again abruptly stuck in her throat.

She instinctively reached out and pushed the person in front of her away.

However, the other party remained motionless, holding her firmly in his arms.

The difference in strength was already significant, and now, after being kissed so much, she felt weak all over and almost collapsed in his arms.

At first, she was able to hold her ground.

But as the kiss deepened, she gradually lost her strength, and even her last bit of resistance crumbled.

In the end, she couldn't resist his gentle coaxing and whispered the secret she had kept hidden deep in her heart, "It all started when... the first time I went to watch your competition with Shi Yang..."

Upon hearing this answer, Tokino couldn't help but smile with extreme satisfaction.

He pressed on in a low voice, "So... this is the first time you've seen me, and you've already fallen for me?"

Charlene was so embarrassed and angry that her ears could bleed, so she buried her burning face in his warm chest.

Her voice was muffled but carried a hint of stubbornness, "So what if it is?"

Shi Ye chuckled softly, gently wrapped his arms around her, and casually stroked her back with his fingertips.

His tone was full of barely concealed pleasure. "Not so much."

I just suddenly felt...extra happy, that's all.

Before he finished speaking, he turned his head slightly and gently pressed his warm lips against her soft, sensitive earlobe, giving it a kiss.

Charlene shuddered as if a tiny electric current had spun through her, and instinctively shrank to the side, trying to avoid the heart-pounding touch.

Shi Ye seemed to have anticipated this, and with a slight tightening of his arm, he held her slender waist even tighter, not allowing her to escape even a fraction of an inch.

His voice was low, tinged with amusement and pity, "I didn't expect it to have been so long..."

He paused, his tone becoming more serious, "Then... did Shi Yang know what you were thinking from the very beginning?"

Charlene was held tightly in his arms. After calming her breathing slightly, she answered softly, "She didn't know at first either."

It was later... that she accidentally discovered my online persona, and that's how I found out.

Upon hearing this, Shi Ye's smile deepened.

His large hand gently stroked the top of her head, the movement as tender as soothing a frightened cat. "So, when filming the first episode of the variety show, she intentionally... arranged for you to fill in for her?"

Charlene hesitated for a moment, then looked up and said softly, "Hmm... she wants to create more opportunities for you and me to spend time together."

Will you... be unhappy about this?

If you must be angry, be angry with me, but please don't blame her.

Shi Ye gently shook his head, a gentle smile curving his lips, and said calmly, "Don't be angry, what's there to be angry about?"

All things considered, she deserves the most credit for our getting together.

If it weren't for this variety show, I probably would never have discovered your feelings.

If it weren't for netizens' sharp eyes, who painstakingly uncovered the details and clues, I probably wouldn't have discovered it until much later.

Speaking of which, I have to thank that girl, and also the netizens.

Charlene couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

She nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, we should definitely thank them properly."

If it weren't for their encouragement and help, I wouldn't have been able to achieve my goal in the end.

To be honest, at that time, I was just trying it out and never dared to imagine that I would actually succeed.

I just didn't want to have any regrets, so I chose to be brave this time.

I was always worried that you would find me strange, that I had ulterior motives towards you, and therefore dislike me.

Shi Ye raised an eyebrow, his tone teasing yet subtly revealing a hint of dissatisfaction: "Oh, so that's why you hid, and even went to such a faraway town, right?"

Do you know how I felt when I came to see you that day, only to hear that you had already passed away?

I wanted to run over and drag you back right then and there, and give you a good beating.

Charlene lowered her head, her voice gradually softening, filled with obvious apology, "I... I didn't mean to!"

After all, I was too scared, and as you know, that's just my personality; I want to run away and hide whenever something happens.

But I promise you, it will never happen again.

Shi Ye's tone softened slightly, but it was still serious: "Of course you can run away or take a step back when something bad happens."

But you don't need to hide from me, not even once!
