Hearing Wen Xiao’ai say that, Jun Moyan also had nothing to say.
"I wasn’t at ease leaving you alone in the hotel after I went to the Bai Family’s place, fearing that you’d wake up and not find me and would be scared, so I asked Hong Yi to accompany you at the hotel. I didn’t expect you two to run into each other on the way."
"Oh, so that’s what happened. I thought you told her about the little bell, so she could find me."
"It was just a coincidence."
"Mhm, Jun Moyan, you can’t tell anyone about the little bell. Even if I get lost, I only want you to find me and bring me home." Wen Xiao’ai leaned on Jun Moyan’s shoulder, dozing off, half asleep.
I won’t let you get lost.
The phone in his pocket vibrated twice, but Jun Moyan wasn’t in a hurry to check it.
Instead, after he lulled Wen Xiao’ai to sleep, he laid her on the bed and tucked her in, then he took out his phone to check the messages.
The text message was from Hong Yi.
It was a simple, blunt, and easy-to-understand sentence.
"The girl by your side knows martial arts."
There was no beating around the bush and no diplomatic probing, this was her usual style of doing things.
Jun Moyan looked at the text message, his brows slightly furrowed, knowing that something must have happened that night.
After asking about it, he learned that Wen Xiao’ai was harassed by some ruffians that evening. Jun Moyan, furious, disregarded Hong Yi’s message that Wen Xiao’ai had already beaten those men half to death and directly instructed Hong Yi to deal with those people.
In the end, he replied that he knew Wen Xiao’ai knew martial arts, which dispelled Hong Yi’s suspicions about Wen Xiao’ai’s identity.
Seeing that Jun Moyan already knew Wen Xiao’ai’s martial skills, Hong Yi didn’t say much more.
He pocketed his phone and then prepared to look for those ruffians.
He unconsciously ran his fingers over the lollipop he had been holding all this time.
Hong Yi paused, lowered his eyes to the candy in his hand and fell into thought.
In the end, he took out his phone again and composed another text message to send...
Upon learning about Wen Xiao’ai’s harassment by ruffians, possessiveness roared inside Jun Moyan. Looking at Wen Xiao’ai sleeping soundly on the bed, he suddenly leaned over, pressing down on her with some annoyance and a punishing bite on her chin.
Pain from her chin made the just asleep Wen Xiao’ai groggily open her eyes to see Jun Moyan, almost instinctively wrapping her arms around him.
Then she fell back into a groggy sleep.
Seeing Wen Xiao’ai fall asleep again, Jun Moyan gently grazed her tender chin with his teeth, seemingly venting his dissatisfaction.
After a while, he loosened his grip and, looking at Wen Xiao’ai, whispered, "Dare to run around again, and I’ll eat you."
"Big dog, don’t eat me."
The sleeping Wen Xiao’ai, possibly dreaming or talking in her sleep, suddenly blurted out just the right response to Jun Moyan’s words.
Jun Moyan’s face darkened on the spot.
The hand propped beside her pinched her little face, he said softly,
"Little thing, who are you calling?."
"...Don’t eat me, I don’t taste good."
Hearing Wen Xiao’ai say this, Jun Moyan was both annoyed and amused.
He gently rubbed his nose against Wen Xiao’ai’s chin, now marked with a slight redness from the bite, then removed her arm that was wrapped around his neck.
Straightening up, he checked his phone again, and when he saw the last message from Hong Yi, he was somewhat surprised.
"She has no sense of direction, but with navigation, she’s not easy to lose."
Jun Moyan was genuinely surprised—this really wasn’t Hong Yi’s style. Read full story at NoveI★Fire.net
She even seemed to care about someone.
It made him think of the cold prison from five years ago, where two girls were detained...
Jun Moyan seemed to realize why Hong Yi would care about Xiaoguai whom she only met twice.
Hong Yi had a sister before.
