When Qiao Mu turned on her phone in her room, she saw a missed call from Li Yan. Perhaps she did not hear it when she was on the bus.
She wanted to call Li Yan back, but she heard some noise downstairs. She put away her phone and went out, thinking that she would call Li Yan back after she was done with her business.
The purpose of her return today was to discuss with her father about her internship at the Qiao Corporation during the summer vacation and prepare for her application for an exchange student next semester.
However, Qiao Mu never expected that the moment she stepped out of the room, Li Yan, a living person, would stand right in front of her. She was so shocked that her mouth unconsciously gaped open, and she was stunned on the spot for a few seconds before she could react.
The manâs sharp gaze landed on Qiao Mu. His expression was indifferent, but the danger in his eyes was familiar to Qiao Mu.
He opened his mouth and asked blankly after a while, âUncle, why are you â¦
Here?â
âYou can be here, but I canât?â A light sentence came out of the manâs mouth.
. âThis was her home. It was normal for her to be here.
Li Yan strode forward as if nothing had happened and inched closer to Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu subconsciously retreated. From her angle, she could see the servants walking around downstairs, but she could not see them from downstairs.
However, this was the Qiao family. What was he doing so brazenly?
Qiao Mu couldnât help but become nervous and gulped. â Uncle, donât come any closer. Letâs talk things out! â
âWhy didnât you answer my call? Didnât I say that I canât be uncontactable?â Li Yan forced Qiao Mu against the wall and pressed one hand against the wall behind her, his dark eyes staring at her.
â Um, I put my phone in my bag. I didnât hear it. â
It was true that she didnât hear it, but she did see the missed call. However, of course, she couldnât admit that she didnât reply immediately when she saw the missed call.
âOh? Is that so?â
Li Yanâs tone was lazy as he glanced at Qiao Muâs pocket. Qiao Mu looked down and saw the phone sticking out of her pocket. She wanted to bite her tongue off.
She smiled awkwardly and said, â Uncle, um, my phone was in my pocket. I forgot when you called me. I really didnât mean to not pick up your call. â
â Little thing, you did manage to keep your phone with you, but you ignored my call. Do you think I should ârewardâ you? â
At this moment, the man had already leaned over. His face was pressed against her, and he was less than five centimeters away from her.
Qiao Mu held her breath. Normally, she would just have to deal with him.
However, this was the Qiao familyâs house, and he would come at any time. This tense atmosphere made her not have the mood to deal with this man.
Qiao Mu grabbed the corner of his shirt and stared at him pitifully. â Uncle, letâs talk things out. Can we not talk about it here? â
âWhy are you so nervous? This is your house. What can I do to you?â âIt was because this was her house that she was afraid, alright?
Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching the corner. Qiao Muâs eyes widened, and she did not have time to think. She pushed Li Yan away, turned around, and fled to her room.
She wanted to lock Li Yan outside the door, but this man followed closely behind and stood at the door of the room, making it impossible for her to close the door!
At this moment, Qiao Yaâs voice sounded from the corner. ââUncle, are you there?â
She did not have time to push him away, so she could only drag the man into her bedroom and quickly put him behind the door.
Whoosh!
That was close!
