When Yu Yuehan arrived, Nian Xiaomu was in deep thought as she held onto her cell phone tightly.
Just like a drowning person clutching on to the last strand of life-saving straw.
When she heard the door knocks, she was so shocked that she sprung up from the bed.
She dashed to the entrance and pulled the door open.
Yu Yuehan’s imposing figure was standing against the light outside the door.
He must have been worried about her, as he had rushed all the way here and a thin layer of perspiration could be seen on his chilly face.
It was the same for his nose too.
He supported the wall with one hand and knocked on the door with the other one.
He had even forgotten that he could press the doorbell instead of knocking on the door.
The moment he saw the trembling Nian Xiaomu, he reached out and drew her into his embrace.
He stroked her head and then her entire body with his huge hand. He only changed the panicky gaze in his eyes after ensuring that she was fine.
Then, he let out a silent sigh.
Afraid that something would happen to her, he had sped here after hearing her say “Mo Qian is my father” in between sobs.
Yu Yuehan hugged her tightly and did not rush to ask her about it.
He stood at the entrance and rubbed her head softly, just as he would soothe a child.
“Don’t be afraid, I am here.”
His deep voice was filled with magnetism.
It could soothe one’s tense and fearful emotions immediately.
He only took Nian Xiaomu into the room after he felt that she had calmed down.
The living room felt a little suffocating as the windows had remained closed for a long time.
As Yu Yuehan pushed open the French windows, sunlight immediately poured in and lit up the gray and gloomy room.
Then, he strolled to the sofa and squatted down.
He met Nian Xiaomu’s gaze and asked, “Are you feeling better? Could you speak properly now?”
“Yeah.” Nian Xiaomu nodded her head obediently.
Just when she was about to say something, Yu Yuehan suddenly said, “Let me say something first. No matter what happens in the future, you are not allowed to scare me as you did just now.”
“…”
As Yu Yuehan met her dazed eyes, he took her hand and pressed it against his chest.
The heart underneath her palm was beating with energy.
Yu Yuehan said, “Can you feel it? I thought that something had happened to you, and I was so scared that my heart nearly jumped out through my throat.”
He sounded a little funny with his half-joking and half-serious tone.
He managed to make Nian Xiaomu laugh with his amusing action.
“Little coward.”
“Yeah, I am a little coward. If anything happens to you, I would be afraid of anything and everything. And so, please do not allow anything to happen to you for the sake of me, the little coward. Do you hear this?” Yu Yuehan spoke in a domineering tone when he saw that she was finally smiling.
Nian Xiaomu did not say anything and rushed into his embrace.
She hugged onto his neck tightly and refused to let go.
Bit by bit, she started to calm down from her panicky state.
She told him everything that had happened earlier on after she gathered the thoughts in her mind.
“After I accidentally broke Bengbeng’s toner, I suddenly heard some voices in my mind. I also saw some people…”
“Was it Mo Qian?” Yu Yuehan asked.
“Yes.” Nian Xiaomu nodded her head with certainty.
“Do you still remember the Xing Family’s ancestral residence? The place where I lived for many years of my life. I saw it just now, and I remembered very clearly that my parents were the ones who had sent me there. They even told me that they would visit me when they had the time, and they did come by to visit me!”
Nian Xiaomu’s emotions turned a little agitated.
She grabbed onto Yu Yuehan’s arm tightly.
“I am not an orphan, who was abandoned by my parents, nor am I a jinx. I was merely placed in the care of the Xing Family, and my parents would come and visit me once in a while. They even brought many things for me; there were toys, delicious food, as well as my favorite drawing paper!”
