Chapter 384: Laying down the rules
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
By the time Nian Xiaomu woke up again, it was already noon time from the color of the sky outside the window.
Feeling extremely exhausted, she stretched her hands outward and landed a punch on the person next to her!
Why hadn’t she realized it earlier that he was really a wolf in sheep’s clothing…
After sneakily getting off the bed, Nian Xiaomu grabbed a piece of clothing from the wardrobe and put it on. Just as she was about to make a run for it, she heard some movement behind her.
When she turned her head, that person was already standing behind her and staring at her with his soulful eyes.
Nian Xiaomu: “…!”
Why did his gaze resemble that of an abandoned wife?
When this thought popped up in her head, she shocked herself. Then, she saw Yu Yuehan stretch out his hand as he said, “Come here.”
As Nian Xiaomu hesitated for a second, he stepped right up to scoop her up and sat down with her on the sofa.
Before today, there were matters that he would have sought to clarify.
However, he did not want to investigate right now. If there was anything he wanted to know, he hoped that she would tell it to him of her own accord.
“Just say what you, you have to say. Don’t give me that look… It frightens me…” Nian Xiaomu was still in his arms although they were on the sofa. She squirmed uneasily and tried to sit by herself on one side, but Yu Yuehan refused to let go of her and insisted on holding her close.
His fingertips were pressing against the scar on her abdomen.
Even with a layer of fabric, he could still feel the scar.
Lifting up her shirt, he looked down at her abdomen and asked, “How did you get that scar on your stomach?”
It looked like it was a burn scar, but the position of the scar was just too odd.
Nian Xiaomu held his hand down and gingerly muttered, “Use your mouth, not your hands, when you speak.”
Then, she tugged at her clothes and covered her stomach.
Pouting her lips, she replied, “I’ve forgotten.”
“Hmm?” Yu Yuehan raised his eyebrows.
They had already come this far together. Was she still going to hide things from him?
Had she planned to use him and then dump him?
Looking at the expression on Yu Yuehan’s face, Nian Xiaomu knew that he must have misunderstood her. She hurriedly explained, “I’m not lying to you. I really do not remember at all. When I woke up, it was already there… I can’t recall the concrete details, but I do know that I often dream about being trapped in a fire. Maybe I got hurt then.”
As Nian Xiaomu spoke, she rolled up one of her sleeves to reveal a faint scar.
Her skin was fair and delicate.
If one did not look closely, this scar would not be noticeable at all.
“See, there is another one here, but it has healed pretty well. The scar on my stomach is a bit deeper, so that’s why it’s obvious.”
She looked so earnest that it was unlikely that she was making it up.
However, this made Yu Yuehan’s eyebrows furrow together as he grabbed her arms.
Another possibility suddenly occurred to him.
Lowering his eyes to look at her, he asked, “What do you mean when you say you have forgotten? Did you only forget how you got hurt or…”
“Hey, didn’t I tell you this before? Tan Bengbeng found me outside the hospital. When I finally woke up, there were many things that I could not recall anymore.”
“…”
“I didn’t like talking to you about this because you were so cold to me and were always pulling a long face.”
Yu Yuehan: “…”
So this was his fault?
Before Yu Yuehan could regain his composure, Nian Xiaomu sprang out of his arms when she thought of something that she wanted to bring up.
Lifting her head, she looked straight at Yu Yuehan.
“Yu Yuehan, although what happened yesterday was an accident, we are now officially in a romantic relationship. Don’t you think we should lay down the rules regarding a few matters?”
Yu Yuehan: “…”
His male instincts told him that if the girlfriend requested to lay down the rules, it usually could not be good news.
