That evening, Xia Wei Liang couldn't sleep, so she went for a night run, her mind entirely occupied by the shops, properties, and restaurants the Sixth Master had given her.
She had offended the Xiao family, and with Old Man Xiao's petty nature, it was possible he might secretly plot against her, abducting her on some dark and windy night!
Speaking of dark and windy nights, she glanced up at the moon. It was hazy, with a touch of resilience, and beyond that resilience, a hint of playfulness…
She heard a car approaching from behind and startled. Turning around, she squinted her eyes, blinded by the strong headlights.
The car stopped beside her just then. Before she could react, the door opened, and she was yanked inside!
Xia Wei Liang's heart skipped a beat. She thought, "It's over!" Old Man Xiao had really sent people!
"Good sir…"
Before she could speak, her chin was suddenly gripped, and the next second, she was kissed directly…
Da Yang, driving, grinned and lowered the partition.
Only then did Xia Wei Liang come to her senses. Old Man Xiao had indeed sent someone, and he had sent the one she liked the most!
"Xiao Yi!"
Surprised and delighted, she threw her arms around the man's waist. "Weren't you supposed to come back tomorrow?"
Xiao Yi had left for a business trip after returning with her from the Sixth Master's. They had agreed he would return tomorrow, but he had made a surprise night visit!
Xiao Yi pursed his lips, looking at her with laughter in his eyes. "I came to check if you'd been messing around while I was away."
"Messing around? The whole entertainment industry knows about our relationship. Who would dare to have designs on me?"
Tears welled up as she spoke. She was one who loved excitement and commotion, especially with newcomers, particularly handsome young stars. Now, those stars treated her with such reverence, so filial that they might as well send her off directly! They probably wouldn't treat their own grandmothers any better!
"That sounds… almost regretful?" Xiao Yi was smiling, a very gentle smile.
"Ah~ No, no, no, how could that be!" Xia Wei Liang immediately corrected her impure and unnoble thoughts, stating righteously, "As someone's girlfriend, my resolve is exceptionally high. Wherever I go, I practically keep your photo on me."
"Heh, you don't really need to be that exaggerated. But since you like it, then… let's keep it that way."
Xiao Yi was clearly pleased. He pulled her closer, making her sit in his lap. "Are you under a lot of pressure regarding the Sixth Master's affairs?"
Xia Wei Liang swallowed and said softly, "If I told you I was afraid your grandfather would send someone to assassinate me, would you think I was a coward?"
He shrugged. "It's alright. After all, I know how bold you are." Su Dan Novel Network
She chuckled and patted his shoulder. "But seriously, is your grandfather very angry? Is he preparing to find someone to teach me a lesson? Tell me, I can handle it!"
At worst, she would ask the Sixth Master to help her get Little Blue back, and she'd carry it everywhere!
Xiao Yi smiled slightly. "He's a bit angry, yes. After all, no one dares to cross him."
"See, I told you!"
Xia Wei Liang's heart sank halfway.
"But…" Xiao Yi looked at her, his eyes dark. "No matter how displeased he is, he wouldn't dare to touch you."
"I have golden armor protection?"
He shook his head and smiled. "You have me."
"…"
His words were so sweet, she found it a little hard to accept. The sweetness was off the charts!
Was this really okay?
Her face flushed as she looked at him. "Did you put honey on your lips tonight?"
