Ring, ring…
Nian Xiaomu was woken up by a series of cell phone ring tones the next day.
Reaching out, she felt around for her cell phone. However, she realized that the cell phone wasn’t hers.
The next second, she saw the person beside her stand up. Holding the cell phone in his hand, he walked over to the balcony and answered the call.
Judging from his swift actions, he seemed to be worried that the ringing cell phone would disturb her.
A sense of warmth swarmed up in her heart.
As her gaze shifted over to his silhouette that was draped with just a sleeping robe, images of her being polished clean and sucked dry the previous night flashed past her mind instantly…
She had heard that men’s exuberant needs were especially strong when they woke up in the morning.
It was better for her to play it safe and escape in advance!
Nian Xiaomu put her clothes on sneakily and left the room at lightning speed.
Yu Yuehan seemed to have sensed something as he stood on the balcony.
Nian Xiaomu, who was supposed to be asleep on his bed, was already missing when he took a side glance toward the room.
While he frowned, the voice of his assistant reporting on the other end of the phone could still be heard.
“… Young Master Han, Tan Bengbeng traveled overseas a few days ago for an academic conference. Her return date has not been confirmed as of now.”
When Yu Yuehan heard this, the space between his eyebrows bunched together even more tightly. Opening his mouth slowly, he said, “Check her background again. Don’t let go of anything that is suspicious.”
“Yes!” The assistant hung up the call shortly afterward.
Yu Yuehan walked back into the room. As he scanned around the empty room, he draped a sleeping robe on himself and headed outside.
He had just reached the bottom of the stairs when he saw a big and a small figure hugging each other on the sofa.
With a look that was full of grievance, Xiao Liuliu said in a childish voice, “Pretty Sister, do you only love Daddi and not love me anymore?”
Nian Xiaomu was struck dumb. Leaning forward, Nian Xiaomu whispered something into her ear, but Xiao Liuliu continued to grumble, “Daddi is the baddest egg. He is always playing the kissing game with Pretty Sister behind Xiao Liuliu’s back.”
With a smacking sound, she pouted her tiny lips and planted two kisses on Nian Xiaomu’s face.
Satisfied and content, she inched her way into Nian Xiaomu’s embrace.
She rolled around happily.
“Pretty Sister, let’s go out and play without Daddi!”
Yu Yuehan: “…”
Was this… an act of currying favor?
With a darkened face, he walked forward. Stretching his hand outward, he carried Xiao Liuliu, the one who had taken up his territory, in his arms.
Reaching out, he gave her little nose a squeeze.
“What did you say? Who do you want to leave out?”
“…”
Xiao Liuliu was taken aback, and her huge, crystal-clear eyes grew wide in fear!
The next second, she suddenly reached out and hugged his neck. Just like a spoiled child, she proceeded to speak in a childish voice and declared, “Xiao Liuliu loves Daddi the most!”
Yu Yuehan: “…!!”
Nian Xiaomu: “…!!”
“I need to head out because there are some matters which I need to attend to at the office. Wait for me at home with Xiao Liuliu. I’ll take you two out for a meal later on.” Yu Yuehan stroked Xiao Liuliu’s head before passing her over to Nian Xiaomu.
Nian Xiaomu took Xiao Liuliu from him at once and nodded her head obediently.
She was afraid that Yu Yuehan would ask her to sleep with him at that very moment. As such, she was so elated that she nearly jumped for joy when she heard that he was heading out.
As she tried her utmost best to restrain her emotional expression, she also simultaneously squeezed out an utterly reluctant expression on her face and said, “Don’t worry, I will take good care of Xiao Liuliu. Hurry and go—company matters are more important!”
Yu Yuehan squinted his eyes. Reaching out, he held her by the waist and drew both Xiao Liuliu and Nian Xiaomu into his embrace.
After that, he lowered his head and gave Xiao Liuliu a kiss on her face.
Nian Xiaomu tilted her head obediently and moved her face closer to him. However, he did not make any movements even after a long while.
Just when she was about to turn and look at him, his thin lips fixed themselves accurately on her lips…
Then, he plastered his thin lips on her earlobe and instructed gently, “Nian Xiaomu, wait for me at home obediently.”
Nian Xiaomu shuddered all over upon hearing his magnetic voice.
Just when she wanted to say something, he released his grip, turned around, and left.
