Startled by her words, Yu Yuehan immediately carried her to sit down on the sofa.
Holding her lifeless face in his hands, he lowered his eyes and asked in a serious tone, âWhat did you say?â
ââ¦â
For a long while Nian Xiaomu kept silent before shaking her head gently.
âI canât quite put words to it. When I beat up those a**holes earlier, a few strange scenes flashed through my mind. Although I donât remember them clearly, they felt familiar, as though I had been through those experiences before.â
Nian Xiaomu snuggled in Yu Yuehanâs arms and wrapped her arms around his waist, wistfully resting against his chest.
She tried hard to recall the past, but besides the big fire in her memories, she could not think of anything elseâ¦
Whenever she attempted to do so, her head would hurt.
The feeling of almost being consumed by the fire made her tremble in fright.
âForget it if you cannot think of anything. Itâs already in the past.â Seeing Nian Xiaomuâs face turn pale, Yu Yuehan spoke in a deep voice as he used his big arms to hug her.
âMaybe you suffered a shock, and thatâs why you had these hallucinations.â Yu Yuehan rested his chin on the top of her head as he hugged her, his heart filled with self-reproach.
Tightening his arms around her, he waited for her to calm down so he could carry her back to his room.
Suddenly, Nian Xiaomu pushed him away with force, turned around, and sat on top of him.
Grabbing a cushion, she pressed it against his chest and declared, âDonât think that you can say a few sweet nothings to me and that I will forget the issue of the female reporter!â
Yu Yuehan: ââ¦â
Where was the gentle and demure girlfriend who had been in his arms earlier? This one might be an impostor?
âShe was a substitute reporter. I did not even see her face clearly.â
ââ¦â
This answer was worth full marks.
Eyeing Yu Yuehan suspiciously, Nian Xiaomu appeared to doubt his words.
Yu Yuehan lifted his arms nonchalantly and placed them behind his head as he coolly continued, âThis issue is nothing compared to how a damsel in distress was saved by a hero.â
Nian Xiaomu: ââ¦!â
âAnd they even had coffee together,â added Yu Yuehan slowly.
Nian Xiaomu: ââ¦!!â
âWhen it was time to leave, someone even looked back longingly and wanted to leave behind a reminderâ¦â Before Yu Yuehan could finish what he wanted to say, Nian Xiaomu had already reached her hand out to cover his mouth.
With a guilty smile, she said, âLet bygones be bygones! A beautiful and magnanimous woman like me would not be bothered by a mere female reporter. Anyway, there are so many women who like you, so itâs not like I can be jealous of every single one of them. I was only joking just now.â
âIs that so?â Yu Yuehan raised his eyebrow.
Nodding her head wildly, Nian Xiaomu answered, âYes! I trust you and am not jealous!â
Hearing this, Yu Yuehan grabbed her shoulders as he sat up on the sofa. With his gaze fixed on her, he enunciated each word clearly, âBut I am jealous.â
Nian Xiaomu: ââ¦!!â
âNian Xiaomu, coax me.â
ââ¦â
Was there medicine to take that could cure feelings of regret? Please give her a dozen!
After a moment of contemplation, Nian Xiaomu lifted her head and planted a kiss on Yu Yuehanâs face.
There was nothing a kiss couldnât fix between lovers.
Even if there was, she could give another kiss!
Nian Xiaomu was about to kiss Yu Yuehan again when he raised his hand to block her.
When her little head was pushed away, Nian Xiaomu stared back at Yu Yuehan with a pair of confused eyes.
That was it.
Was he very mad at her?
Even kisses did not work.
âNian Xiaomu, girls should have more modesty.â
Nian Xiaomu: ââ¦!!â
Then, Yu Yuehan gestured to the butler, and the butler came forward with a gift box and presented it to Nian Xiaomu.
Looking over at Nian Xiaomu, Yu Yuehan motioned for her to open it on her own.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As Nian Xiaomu opened the box, a chill went down her spine when her fingertips brushed against a cold silky fabric.
