“Arrange to meet him some other time?” Mo Jiangye lowered his gaze and looked at the woman beside him, his pitch peaking dangerously near the end of the question.
Ye Erruo grabbed his wrist and said softly, “I will explain it to you later.”
“We shall not be disturbing you any longer. We are leaving now. Goodbye!”
“Ye Erruo, explain everything clearly right now.”
Ye Erruo’s face darkened as she said seriously, “Mo Jiangye, are you going to leave or not? If you don’t… Cough, cough…”
“Let’s go, let’s go.” Mo Jiangye took her small hand and pulled her into his embrace, no longer bickering with the man behind them as he led her away and left.
It was drizzling outside when they went out. He took off his windbreaker and put it on her.
“I am not cold. You can wear it.”
“Stop moving around.” Mo Jiangye ordered as he hugged her with one arm.
While looking at their retreating figures, Bo Jinyan smiled and said under his breath, “Xiao Ruoruo, we will meet again very soon.”
“Savage.” Yu Lingfeng gritted his teeth furiously.
He would absolutely not let such a man wreck her.
“Are you still going back?”
Yu Lingfeng’s expression was ugly. “No, I am going to take her with me.”
“It will be an extremely long time before you can head back then.”
…
“What are you meeting that man for again?” Mo Jiangye asked her in a low voice as he fixed his clothes.
“He saved me. It isn’t overboard of me to treat him to a meal, right? Plus, we won’t be alone. You will be coming along with me when the time comes,” Ye Erruo explained as she held his hand.
“Saved you? Could there ever be such a coincidence in the world? He has appeared in your life more than once. It is obvious that he has other intentions.”
“Cough, cough.”
Mo Jiangye patted her back gently. “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
“No.”
“You scared me, Baby Ruo.” He pressed his forehead against hers as he spoke in a soft voice.
He had thought that she had run off again. Thankfully, this time, her disappearance had had nothing to do with her. Thankfully, she was still here. Thankfully, he had managed to find her in time and had not lost her.
Ye Erruo flipped around and hugged his neck as she smiled gently. “You were scared?”
“Yes.”
“Next time, wherever I go, you have to stay by my side.” He gently rubbed her cheek.
“Cough, cough.” Ye Erruo started coughing until her face turned red as she pushed Mo Jiangye to the side.
“Drive faster.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
“Slower. Drive slowly. It is still raining outside.”
“Yes, Young Madam.”
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Mo Jiangye leaned in and kissed her to make sure that she was really safe and sound.
“What are you doing? I still have a cold.”
He was not afraid of being infected.
“Oh, yeah.” Ye Erruo suddenly remembered something important.
“Mm?”
“Lin Jingxuan. Is he dead?” she asked frantically as she held his hand.
He looked at her. “Do you want him to be dead or alive?”
Ye Erruo bit her lips. “That stab wound must have cost his life.”
“Without that stab wound, I wouldn’t have let him live,” he said ruthlessly.
This time, the man had really crossed a line.
He had dared to touch his woman and had caused her to go missing for a few days, so how could he let him go so easily?
