"But I can tell you clearly, if you do this, in this lifetime, forever and ever, I will never forgive you!"
As Yan Xinxin’s words fell, Mo Chuxi’s gaze darkened.
He looked at her defiant expression. The domineering and assertive look in his eyes from a moment ago softened involuntarily in this instant, yielding slightly.
"So what you’re saying is, if I don’t do it, you’ve already forgiven me?"
"Care to place a bet?"
He parted his lips to ask, his demeanor suddenly much gentler and calmer.
The pleasant sound of the doorbell rang.
Yan Xinxin turned to open the door.
The door opened, and as she raised her eyes, she saw Xiao Yize’s tall and upright figure standing before her.
Yet a trace of weariness and remorse lingered between his gentle brows.
When Xiao Yize saw the wound on Yan Xinxin’s forehead, he immediately felt a surge of guilt and distress.
Yan Xinxin was momentarily confused, then quickly understood.
"Master, are you apologizing on behalf of your brother, Xiao Yiran?"
"There’s no need. It has nothing to do with you."
Yan Xinxin smiled faintly. Right and wrong were clear in her mind—this matter had absolutely nothing to do with Xiao Yize.
"Even so, I’m very sorry."
Xiao Yize’s apology was sincere, his tone laden with guilt.
"But fortunately, Chuxi stopped everything in time."
Recalling Mo Chuxi’s sudden appearance yesterday, Yan Xinxin also felt lucky.
However, she couldn’t shake the uncertainty. If Mo Chuxi had been even a moment later, would her mind have been flooded with more bizarre and unsettling images? Images about Mu Qianyuan...
"There’s an industry dinner tonight. I’d like to take you with me. Would that be okay?"
Xiao Yize’s tone carried a touch of suggestion, pulling Yan Xinxin back to reality.
"If my master is taking me out to broaden my horizons, I’d be more than happy to accompany you."
Hearing her response, Xiao Yize’s lips curved into a faint smile.
"I’ll come pick you up later."
Yan Xinxin nodded and smiled, watching Xiao Yize leave. Just as she was about to turn back into her room, a figure suddenly appeared in the corner of her vision.
It was the same as yesterday!
But yesterday, when she wanted to take a closer look, she had been interrupted by Xiao Yiran.
Yan Xinxin sharply lifted her gaze. Seeing the figure disappearing around the corner, she quickly chased after it, reaching out to grab the person firmly.
"So it really is you!" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ noⅴelfire.net
