Yu Yuehan took the chance and hugged her.
The two of them leaned against each other and took in the warmth from the other party’s body. Then, a smile appeared at the corner of both their lips.
Nian Xiaomu thought over it and spoke up first.
“Even though I don’t know why I was targeted by the person who had bribed Guizi, I have a constant feeling that it has got something to do with our previous trip to the Tan family’s ancestral residence.”
Yu Yuehan adjusted his arms and replied, “Okay, go on.”
Nian Xiaomu lifted her head subconsciously and looked at his side profile. When she heard what he had said, she thought of something and got ready to stand up.
Yu Yuehan refused to release his grip and continued to hug her. “You can speak while sitting down.”
They had been living separately for such a long period of time that even Xiao Liuliu had started to openly tease him for being unloved. If he continued to lead such a life, how could he still retain the dignified impression of the head of the family?
Forget about the dignified impression.
He could not sleep without her by his side.
He felt awful when he saw that even Tang Yuansi could hug Shangxin and flash their love in front of him.
How could he bear to allow her to find an excuse and leave after taking great pains to coax her into returning?
He would not let go no matter what!
“How can I retrieve my things if you won’t let go of me?” Lowering her gaze, Nian Xiaomu cast a glance at him and knelt on the sofa with a single knee. Reaching out, she hugged the man’s head and patted his hand, just as she would coax a child.
Even though his short hair was a little prickly to the touch, her voice remained exceptionally gentle.
“Yu Yuehan, Xiao Liuliu will laugh at you if you continue to act like this.”
Yu Yuehan replied coldly, “Xiao Liuliu will only laugh at me if you abandon me. She was only telling me yesterday that you did not love me anymore because I do not have good looks.”
“…”
“Nian Xiaomu, because of you, there is now a stain on my attractiveness index.”
“???”
Nian Xiaomu did not know how to comfort a man who was assuming that his attractiveness index had been stained. In the end, he held her hand and they went to retrieve her belongings outside together.
Yu Yuehan’s voice turned chilly when he saw the kaleidoscope in her hand.
“You only think about Xiao Liuliu. Everywhere you go, you think of your daughter and buy toys for her. However, you never once think of buying anything for me.”
“You don’t need toys. What should I buy for you then? A dog leash? I should leash you up and take you along wherever I go. Let’s see if you would still be jealous then!” Nian Xiaomu said jokingly to play along with him.
She was waiting for him to fly into a rage.
However, Yu Yuehan cast her a chilly glance and replied calmly, “Alright, but remember to buy two of them. I’ll leash you up too and take you wherever I go, lest others wrongly get their hands on you. After all, you are too young and hence too innocent.”
“…”
She had a feeling that he had wanted to call her dumb, not innocent!
No way!
The goddess isn’t dumb in at all!
Reaching out, Nian Xiaomu patted his shoulder and said, “Okay, I am being serious here. This is not a toy that I bought for Xiao Liuliu!”
Yu Yuehan replied, “I can’t be serious if you want to say that this is a toy that you have bought for me.”
“…”
Could they still continue to chat as per normal?
“I saw this at the side of Tan Bengbeng’s bed and felt that something was wrong with it. Hence, I specially brought it back for you to take a look.”
Hearing this, Yu Yuehan’s eyes flickered.
The light beneath his eyes turned grim.
He led her back to the living room and gestured for her to continue speaking.
“I have a constant feeling that there is something weird about the Tan family’s ancestral residence. Think about it, we have just made a trip over there and someone wanted to give me a fright. This meant that someone might be monitoring the Tan family residence!”
Yu Yuehan had had the exact same speculation right from the start.
Here is the problem.
What exactly is the Tan family’s ancestral residence keeping, that the mastermind would send people to keep watch over the place?
If the person was merely waiting for the members of the Tan family to return, why did he/she target her since they were not members of the Tan family?
