"…" Yu Yuehan's face darkened in an instant.
Before he could even open his mouth to speak, Xiao Liuliu, who was nestled in his arms, blinked her big eyes and teardrops almost fell when she heard that her pretty sister was not coming back.
"I had promised to let her come back, but she isn't willing to return." Once Yu Yuehan noticed that his little princess was about to break into tears, he stopped speaking.
"…"
"Now you see, Pretty Sister will never come back again." Xiao Liuliu pursed her lips and crept back into the covers after speaking her mind.
"…" The emptiness in Yu Yuehan's arms felt the same as if someone had dug into his heart.
A sense of gloom fell over that perfect face.
The chilly air that oozed out of him could be felt from miles away!
The long figure stood up from the bed slowly.
He gracefully adjusted the collar of his shirt with his long, slender fingers. Then, his beautiful lips parted slightly and he said, "Butler, prepare the car."
"Young Master, you want to…" The butler's eyes widened in astonishment.
"To strangle Nian Xiaomu to death!" Yu Yuehan clenched his teeth as he exclaimed. He stepped past the stunned butler and walked out of the room.
-
In the apartment.
Nian Xiaomu had just fallen asleep when the doorbell rang.
The incessant ringing of the doorbell made her jump up from her bed, scratching her head.
She could barely open her eyes as she groped her way to the door.
She was livid at being woken up twice in the night and used all her might to open the door.
"Are you done or not? I told you, unless Yu Yuehan personally comes here to invite me, I will absolutely not agree, agree… ahem!" Nian Xiaomu choked on her words midway.
When she saw the man who was at her door, it was like seeing a ghost.
The very next second she closed the door without a second thought!
"BAM!"
The deafening sound of the door slamming shut brought Nian Xiaomu back to reality.
She raised her hand and pinched her face hard. Then, she looked out the window.
It was still dark, so why was she daydreaming?
How could Yu Yuehan possibly be here to ask her back?
No way. She must have been too tired, tired to the point that she started to hallucinate!
Yes, it must be a hallucination!
If she were to take a second look, he would certainly be gone.
Nian Xiaomu prepared her heart and opened her door again.
In that run-down apartment building, Yu Yuehan's sturdy and elegant figure made the stairway look exceptionally narrow and tight.
He put one hand in the pocket of his pants and casually leaned against the hand railing of the staircase.
The contour of that perfect side profile was captivating.
When he heard the sound of the door open, he tilted his head to the side.
That charming face and those deep soulful eyes… Any woman's heart would pound and flutter if he looked at her with such a focused gaze.
But at this moment, Nian Xiaomu could only feel death knocking on her door.
She thought of running away, but both her legs felt as if they were nailed to the ground.
She tried to act like nothing was wrong, but why were her hands trembling like this?
This was especially amplified as she watched Yu Yuehan walk toward her, staring at her with his frosty eyes.
"Yu Yuehan, it's against the law to kill someone. Even if the Yu Family has money and power, you cannot… Ah!"
Nian Xiaomu had just opened her mouth to speak when Yu Yuehan reached over to grab her shoulder and pulled her toward himself.
Then, he turned and pressed her against the wall.
He placed one hand to the side of her body, lowered his eyes to look at her alarmed face, and slowly lifted her chin with his slender fingers.
His thin lips parted and whispered seductively, "Didn't you ask me to come personally to invite you, mmm?"
