Perhaps, she had truly and completely become an integral part of his life.
Outside, night had already fallen. The temperature in the woods was running relatively low, so he wrapped her tightly in his jacket to keep her warm.
It was not until half-past eight that they started making their way back. He was driving with one hand on the steering wheel, while his other arm was draped over the sleeping woman.
Back at the camp, a group of soldiers was gobsmacked by the sight of their chief returning with a woman in his arms. Even though he had wrapped her tightly in his jacket, her long tresses swayed and danced along with each of his movements.
A woman? Is our vision impaired, or is that a woman?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Boss actually brought a woman back? Unbelievable! This is absolutely unbelievable!
Who said that no one would want someone as cold and aloof as our boss?
Who said that our boss would forever be a bachelor?
And who said that our boss doesnât like women?
Most importantly, who said that our boss wonât touch women?
âBoss.â
âMove aside. Everyone move side.â Mo Jiangye, who was in a good mood, hugged the woman tightly.
âRoger that!â The men standing guard outside the door disappeared quickly without a trace and excitedly gossiped about the man while leaving.
The moment they left, another group of people walked out of his room. âYouâre back, Young Master Mo... Eh? Who is this in your arms?â
âYoung Master Mo...â
âYoung Master Mo... Ehhh, this is... OMG!â
Three burly men who were making their way out of the room stood dumbfoundedly on the spot as they stared at Mo Jiangye with bulging eyes.
âYoung Master Mo, where did you pick this woman up?â
The man glanced at the trio before him before barking, âGet out!â
The trio immediately shifted away from the doorway in confusion.
Whatâs going on? Whatâs happening right now? Can someone tell us what in the world is going on?
Bang!
With a slam, the door isolated the outside world from the room.
The trio was speechless.
âWhatâs this that he picked up?â
âIt looks like a person.â
âA woman to boot.â
âIt really looks like one.â
With puzzled and confused looks, the trio started gossiping among themselves outside the room.
...
Ye Erruo was still in a deep slumber at eight oâclock the next morning.
âRise and shine, babe!â Mo Jiangye cooed gently.
She peeled her lids open in a daze, her eyes looking bleary. âWhat time is it?â
âEight oâclock.â
A cry of surprise escaped her mouth. âGosh, Iâm done for!â
âWhatâs wrong?â
âI still have training today. Where are my clothes?â
âIn the car.â
â...â
She was wearing a soft, comfortable sleeping gown, something she had not worn in a long time.
âGet up and go get them.â She reached out and pulled him up.
âThey canât be worn anymore.â
â...â
âYouâre allowed to rest for the day. Thereâs no need to attend training.â
âI donât need to rest. Quick, go find me some clean clothes.â
He did not let her leave, though. âAre you sure you donât need to rest?â
âJust get me a clean set of clothes quickly.â
âItâs all ready.â
There was no need for her to mention it at all.
âThe clothes will be delivered later. Go wash up first,â said the man, who was in a good mood.
He then combed and tied her long hair up for her. When her clothes were delivered, they changed clothes, ate breakfast, and then left the room together.
It was drizzling outside that day, but the usual training session was still happening, so she naturally had to head back.
âIâll head back first, and you can come over a little while later.â
He reached out and placed a cap on her head. âAlright, run along then. Iâll be there soon.â
Only then did the woman leave, feeling satisfied. After taking a few steps, she abruptly halted in her tracks, turned around, and jogged back to him.
âWhat is it?â
âYou donât know me, and I donât know you.â
â...â
