Book:The Love Book Published:2024-6-2

The man narrowed his eyes, squeezed her hand with increased force, his voice was slightly deep, “Could the aggression in this statement be any more obvious?” Phoebe Barnes, if you have any grievances you can just vent them, as you said before, now is a good opportunity, I will not do anything to a pregnant woman yet.”
“Mr. Fu good manners.” The woman tilted her head, pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, then shook her head, “I did not do or say anything, which has any dissatisfaction, you have done well enough, I have no reason to be so unreasonably angry with you again.”
“Phoebe Barnes,” the man’s face sank slightly, visibly moved with anger at her careless tone, gritting his teeth vaguely, “Do you have to make me angry for you to be in a better mood?”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes blinked at him innocently, “I’m not a masochist, you’re just fine as usual.”
“…”
The man’s breath of depressed air was blocked in his chest, his handsome face was somewhat dark and sullen, his eyes lowered to stare at her dumbfounded and slightly aggrieved little face, then he tossed the paper box next to her and turned his eyes away, “Yours.”
Phoebe Barnes, startled, glanced at him and opened the cardboard box.
Eyes lit up instantly.
A small piece of Black Forest cake, delicate and delicious.
“You bought it on purpose?”
After knowing that she was pregnant, the man basically forbade her to eat sweets, but she now has a taste for sweetness and is very frustrated.
The man’s eyes fell on the window, indifferently returned a cry, “others sent.”
“…” Who dares to send the big president such a small piece of cake? Besides, he doesn’t seem to have a sweet tooth at all.
Phoebe Barnes couldn’t help but laugh and didn’t poke him, holding the cake in one hand and the fork in the other, taking small bites into her mouth.
It’s true that sweets can make people feel bad.
She took a few bites and her delicate brows were tinged with a light-hearted smile, all satisfied.
For a moment, she forked a bite and turned her eyes to the man’s lips, like a child pleasing an angry adult, “It’s sweet, try it, maybe you won’t be so angry with me after you eat it.”
“…”
You can feel the cloying sweetness just by smelling it.
“No!” The man frowned and refused with a disgusted look.
The woman took her hand back, stared at him for a few seconds, and suddenly stretched her neck to kiss him on the lips.
Immediately afterwards, the tip of his tongue gently pried his lips apart, circled his mouth, and then very quickly released away.
The whole process took just a few seconds.
The woman blushed slightly with a small hint of triumph, “Isn’t it very sweet? Not as cloying as cake, that should ease your unhappy mood a bit, right?”
Kemp Ross, “…”
The man’s mind still retains the woman’s just soft and fragrant lips, quietly watching her, the knot in his throat unconsciously rolled a few times, for a long time did not speak.
Phoebe Barnes steeped in embarrassment, the rare courage to force a kiss, the other party did not respond at all.
Most afraid of the sudden silence in the air, she lowered her head and continued to eat the cake to cover up her embarrassment.
The man’s serious accent suddenly came to his ears, “It tastes pretty good.”
Phoebe Barnes, “…”
Is he talking about the cake or …

The car stopped in front of the old house and the guard came forward to open the door.
The man took the lead and got out of the car, then turned back and naturally passed his hand over, “Get down.”
Phoebe Barnes, somewhat uncomfortable, shook her head and jumped in the car herself, “I can do it myself.”
The man looked at her, then snorted coldly, “I wonder who was the last time I got out of a car and could fall on my face.”
After saying that, he no longer cared about her and turned around and walked into the courtyard.
Phoebe Barnes bit her lip, she was nervous and stiff last time, but she couldn’t stand still, okay?
The courtyard is too big.
The man walked unhurriedly in front, not looking like he had to wait for her at all.
Phoebe Barnes didn’t intend to chase either, walking behind with small steps and watching both sides as if she was watching.
But within a few minutes, the man in front of her stopped and looked back at her with a hint of impatience in his tone, wrinkling his brow and saying, “Is this your first time here? Do you want me to be a guide and explain it all to you?”
“Your legs are so long, I can’t catch up anyway, so just walk slowly.” Phoebe Barnes blinked innocently at him.
The two were not far apart under the old-fashioned promenade.
Phoebe Barnes said that, but still trotted to his side, hugged his arm, sticky voice, “You walk a little slower, I just follow.”
The man turned his head and continued on his way, without speaking, but his speed did slow down a lot more than before.
In the front room of the main house, Ross old sat on the central sofa, his eyes looked at the door from time to time, and seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
Seeing the two figures appear, although trying to hold back, but still did not suppress the emotions immediately stood up, walked to Phoebe Barnes, with an expectant look aimed at her small belly, “Phoebe … is true?”
Bonnie Ning also came out at this time, pretending to be enthusiastic, “Phoebe, your grandfather has been waiting for half a day, waiting for you to give an accurate answer, are you pregnant or not?”
Although smiling Rong full face, but her heart is more worried than anyone else, originally in this family is not much existence, if this woman is pregnant again, where there is still her and Genny’s foothold?
Phoebe Barnes had little expression on her face and just turned her head to look at the man.
The man raised his hand to stroke the back of her head and spoke in a very light tone, “Grandpa, it’s true.”
Phoebe Barnes’ breath caught in her throat, and something crossed her mind so fast she couldn’t catch it.
Before you can think about it, you are drowned out by Ross’s old sudden excited laughter.
“Haha … is really good, come, come, girl, sit down.”
The old man was extremely excited to take Phoebe Barnes’ arm and let her sit down, moving with great care, his old face overflowing with joy and excitement, and immediately raised his hand and ordered.
“Kemp, get Secretary Jiang to come here right away. The wedding preparations and the baby can’t be delayed any longer, you have to give an explanation to the Qiao family.”
Phoebe Barnes face changed violently, abruptly stood up, stiff smile, “Grandpa, no need to be so anxious …”
“What’s not anxious yet?” Master Ross doted on her, “How can grandpa watch your reputation get damaged? This innocent thing is being rumored by them in black and white, if not for your work, grandpa would have had someone to do it long ago.”
Phoebe Barnes could see that her grandfather was really excited and his attitude towards her was a hundred times better than before. If he didn’t stop, he might really be excited and tell the world right away.
With a twinkle in her eye, she cast an enquiring glance at the man who had been so calm.
The man didn’t look at her either, and his tone rippled as he said to the old man, “Grandpa, it’s too late today, let’s discuss the other things tomorrow.”
Ross old man heard his words immediately cold face, angry glare at him, “What tomorrow and the day after? Other things you can perfunctorily, this matter is not up to you, the old man I personally ordered.”
