Yao Rong stood there, staring at him in surprise, blinking repeatedly. She rubbed her eyes, and sure enough, Xaio Mohan was standing right by her side.

“This can’t be the guy you were talking about, can it? OMG, how can he be this handsome?” Yao Rong trotted over, circled around Xiao Mohan twice, excitedly hugged Gu Chuyan’s arm, and whispered, “You’ve got great taste, he’s so handsome.”

“Don’t say such things.” Gu Chuyan blushed as she responded.

Yao Rong winked at her and whispered, “Make sure to seize this opportunity, go for it! I’m leaving so I won’t interrupt your flirting.”

“Yao Rong.” Chuyan turned around, but Yao Rong had already run off.

Yao Rong waved as she jogged, “It’s just a few steps away, no need to see me off. Take care.’

“Your good friend?” Xiao Mohan drew her into his embrace, glanced in the direction Yao Rong had departed, then looked down and asked.

“Yes, she’s very good to me.” Chuyan whispered in reply.

Xiao Mohan listened, then nodded slightly, “When there’s a chance, invite her over to our place.”

His words were as if he was giving Yao Rong free access to his villa.

“Really?” Gu Chuyan asked, clearly surprised.

Xiao Mohan drew her closer and whispered, “At home, you’re in charge! As long as they’re good to you, I have no objections.”

Upon hearing his words, she wrapped her arms around his, “Thank you.”

At that moment, a light rain started to fall. He shielded her within his embrace, blocking the raindrops.

Then, Han Changqing approached and began speaking to him.

He’d just received a call about something particularly interesting, and he wanted to share it with Xiao Mohan.

“Master, should we intervene?” Han Changqing asked seriously. He’d just received a report, and the woman who was troubling Gu Chuyan had been… Xiao Mohan listened, then quietly replied, “No need.”

As he spoke, it seemed as if he’d thought of something, and he told Han Changqing, “Leave some of it.”

“Understood.” Han Changqing responded, and made a call to pull his men back.

Inside the vehicle, Gu Chuyan remained silent, feeling the freezing aura spreading off Xiao Mohan. She shrunk into herself, and then he lifted her into his arms and stepped into the car.

“Yes.” She responded.

Xiao Mohan remained silent, but his grip around her tightened slightly. He looked down at her and said, “Even if it’s him, I won’t allow him to hurt you.”

“Xiao Mohan.” She leaned into him, resting her head on his shoulder, “I want to sleep for a while.”

“Alright.” He lifted his hand, easing her into his arms, naturally wrapping his arm around her. Watching her small face, he reached over to his phone and sent a message.

Upon returning to the Xiao Family’s villa, Gu Chuyan dried her hair, constantly looking at the door. She didn’t see him until she was too sleepy to keep her eyes open. She got up and walked out.

“Xiao Mohan, are you home?” She called out softly.

Unfortunately, the large mansion was utterly empty.

She walked to the door of the study room, knocked, and found no one answering. Bored, she returned to her room, pushed open the glass door, and stood on the balcony.

“Hiss.” She vaguely heard a noise, and as she looked out…

She saw someone climbing up from below the balcony. She instinctively reached out, giving the intruder a hard push!

After finally climbing up, Wen Shui was pushed off by her.

“Thud.” He fell on the grass, and gasping with pain on the ground, he looked up at the shadow on the balcony. Wen Shui slowly got up, rubbing his aching arm..
