Thirty seconds later, the man walked away from her with a deadpan expression, commenting as he left, âYou have paid for my gift with a kiss. Weâre even now.â
The woman stood rooted to the spot.
The people around the couple were looking at them incredulously. The truth was, they looked really compatible with each other given their good looks. They were practically a match made in heaven. While admiring the couple, they could only shake their heads in resignation as they watched the man walk away from the woman.
The men who had been initially interested in the woman had to admit defeat and give up unwillingly in the end.
The owner also put the five small Mashimaro plushies back to their respective places and replaced the giant one with a fresh item.
âYou...â By the time she finally got over her shock, she could only glare at him with an embarrassed blush.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
On the other hand, Mo Jiangye was feeling rather alarmed at the thought of her being upset. That kiss of his had happened spontaneously became he hadnât been able to stop himself.
âRuoruo? Ruoruo!â
Yu Lingfeng could be heard calling for her from a short distance away.
Her heart still pounding fast, she hugged the plushie close to her chest before running away.
The young masterâs face sank when he heard the other man calling out for her. Why is that *sshole here too? I havenât seen enough of my wifey yet!
âIs she angry with me?â
The question took Bo Yu by surprise, but he hurriedly reassured his master. âNo, she isnât. Young Madam is feeling shy, thatâs all. If she had been upset with you, she would have slapped you.â
Mo Jiangye heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. âReally?â
His assistant, who didnât know how to comfort his master anymore, was thinking to himself: Young Master, how would I know? I have not been in a relationship before, so how would I know whatâs on her mind?
Still, a woman would instinctively slap a man if she was molested, wouldnât she? Wouldnât that be her natural reaction? It may mean that she likes him since she didnât slap him, right?
When the young scion did not hear his henchmanâs affirmation, he abruptly turned and glared at him. âAre you deaf?â
âYes, sir. Young Madam must have gotten good vibes from you.â
The man furrowed his brows at the comment. âGood vibes?â
Does that mean I left a good impression on her?
The mere thought was enough to make some color return to his face.
âLetâs follow her.â
âGot it, Master.â
The master-servant pair started to tail the lady in secret.
âWhere did this come from?â Yu Lingfeng looked quizzically at the bunny plushie in Ye Erruoâs arms.
Her face blushed hot and red again.
Where did this come from?
âWhatâs wrong?â Her brother was clueless about her unexplained change in demeanor.
âI won it in a hula hoop game.â
âWhere did you get the money to play the game?â The man remembered that he was the one holding the wallet.
âI... I won it through a lucky draw.â
âI didnât know you were this lucky!â Her brother chuckled softly and passed her the food she had asked for.
âYou can eat while I carry your plushie for you.â
As he reached for the bunny, the woman quickly hid it away from his grasp. âNo, you donât have to do that. Iâm not eating now.â
Her brother was stunned by her sudden, big reaction. âAlright then.â
âBo Jinyan may come over later than usual tonight, as he has a lot of work to attend to.â
She nodded. âItâs fine.â Somehow, her heart had yet to get over the giddy, sweet sensation she had experienced.
âThereâs a pretty water lantern decoration just ahead of us. Come on, Iâll take you over there.â
He couldnât wait to take her to all the beautiful and enjoyable places in the kingdom. His beloved young sister was finally back in Blue Tower after missing for such a long time.
âWater lantern decoration?â
âXiao Ruo, what do you wish for in your heart?â
âI want to marry Brother Jinyan,â she blurted out. However, as soon as she said that, a sense of unexplained discomfort cut across her heart.
The man, who had been stalking her, heard her words loud and clear. It hurt him so much to hear those words come out of her mouth. At the same time, the thought of her wanting to marry another man antagonized him greatly.
What? You want to marry that ugly b*stard?
Heh!
No way!
As her legal husband, he would never agree to that.
She could jolly well give up the thought of marrying another man! Other than him, she could have no other man!
