When Yu Yuehan heard her voice, his jittery heart turned calm in an instant .
Raising his eyebrows, the corner of his mouth curved into an arc—it was a smile, yet at the same time, it wasn't a smile .
He switched to holding his cell phone with his other hand . With a loving voice, he said, "Stay there obediently and don't move . I'll come home now to accompany you to sleep . "
After he hung up the call, he did not look at Fan Yu again .
He got in the car directly and instructed the assistant to drive off .
Shortly after, he left that place .
Fan Yu was left standing alone quietly on the pier .
It was a very dark and quiet night .
He had merely stood at a closer than usual distance to Yu Yuehan, but it was so quiet that he could hear her voice coming from his phone .
Her coquettish voice .
Her reliance toward Yu Yuehan .
Her act of pretending to be angry was actually a form of longing for Yu Yuehan as well…
He had never seen Liuliu like this before .
She seemed unfamiliar, yet it made one madly addicted to her .
Fan Yu gripped the railing of the pier with such force that veins popped up on the backs of his hands .
His eyes were filled with an unconcealable look of resentment…
Could he really let it go?
-
Yu Family villa .
The sky had turned dark .
The main section of the villa was brightly lit as usual .

Nian Xiaomu was sitting on the sofa in the living room . After she hung up the call, she grabbed a packet of tidbits and tore the packaging open .
She had just stuffed the food into her mouth when she suddenly thought of something . Turning to the side, she looked at the butler who was beside her .
"It's so late—I'll wait for Yu Yuehan by myself . You can go to bed first . "
Reaching out, the butler adjusted his business attire and said professionally, "Young Master has instructed me to take care of Miss Nian until he returns . "
The butler was famous for being old and inflexible .
It was impossible to talk sense into him .
Nian Xiaomu gave up on her thought of urging him to retire first . Lifting her hand that held the packet of tidbits, she asked, "Well, do you want to have some?"
Snacking would make the waiting more bearable .
However, the butler merely took a glance at the tidbits in her hand before immediately frowning in a disapproving manner .
"Miss Nian, eating too many snacks isn't good for your health . I'll go cut up some fruit for you . Fruits have vitamins and can also replenish the lost water content in your body . " The butler continued to ramble on as he walked toward the kitchen .

"Youngsters nowadays take advantage of their youth and don't bother to take care of their bodies . It won't work like this—you must still take good care of your body…"
Nian Xiaomu: "…"
After Nian Xiaomu got lectured by the butler, she took a glance at the tidbits in her hand again .
She would feel like she was committing a monstrous crime if she continued to snack on them .
Just when she was pondering over whether she should eat them, the engine of a car sounded from outside the villa .
Her heart squealed in delight .
Just as she placed the packet of tidbits down and stood up, Yu Yuehan's figure appeared at the entrance of the villa at the very next second .
He stepped in with the brilliance of the stars and the moon .
Just like her unrivalled hero, he soothed all her restless feelings instantly .
He reached his hands out toward her .

At that instant, Nian Xiaomu could not suppress her tiny heart any longer . With her heart about to skip out of her throat, she took off and ran toward him .
She leaped forward and dove her entire body into his embrace .
She hugged him with both her arms and legs .
"Jerk! Where did you go? You were gone after I woke up, and I had a nightmare…" As Nian Xiaomu spoke, she suddenly choked up with emotion when she neared the end of her sentence .
It was the fear of waking up all alone with a start .
As she recalled the exceptionally quiet surroundings, it was as if she was the only person in the entire world . She got so afraid that she hugged his neck tightly .
Perhaps the things that Fan Yu had said during the day had stimulated her memories .
She dreamed of that huge fire again .
Just like a devil from a nightmare, the blazing fire engulfed all the people who were dear to her…
Including Xiao Liuliu and him .
Then, she woke up with a start . Feeling anxious, she was about to hug him, but realized that no one was beside her .
