Very quickly, the temperature in Ji Heng Yu’s eyes dropped.
A bitter breath suppressed his chest as he looked at her in silence. He opened his mouth only after a long time, “Fine, I won’t tell Qin Chu.” The tone of his voice sounded relaxed and understanding.
In reality, when he said this, his throat was so dry and uncomfortable that it was bubbling with bitterness!
Ji Heng Yu tried to maintain a smile on the surface.
In his heart, he was saying, ‘What the fuck.
He has to pretend it had never happened?
No way.
The temporary step back is just a detour. And he had exploited the art of discourse by only saying half of his intended speech.
The little pearl, a treasure, is targeted by the evil dragon. He will only try to carry it back to his nest by any means possible.’
In the evening, the sun was setting.
The faint golden light poured in through the clear glass windows grew weaker and weaker as the sun set.
Xiang Yi Mo had packed her things earlier. As soon as her shift ended, she hastily lifted her bag and got up.
Although she had told herself that she would pretend that nothing had happened, her actions in Ji Heng Yu’s eyes told him that she was in a panic and wanted to run away from here quickly.
She wanted to run away from him, to hide from him.
Ji Heng Yu burst out laughing.
Mo Mo, you can’t even make light of this yourself, so why should I be able to?
As though he had guessed Xiang Yi Mo’s actions beforehand, the man closed the folder he had finished reading, stood upright and walked over to stand in front of Xiang Yi Mo.
He wrapped his hand around her waist and lifted her up.
Xiang Yi Mo only felt herself suddenly floating in the air.
When she returned to her senses, she was already carried by Ji Heng Yu as one of his strong arms was under her buttocks.
He said, “Going home? I’ll send you back.” A gentle magnetic voice swirled out of those thin lips, concealing a faint smile.
Xiang Yi Mo bit her lips, seemingly troubled by this.
But she didn’t dare to move.
The way Ji Heng Yu was holding her, she was afraid she would fall down, bump her head and hit something if she moved around recklessly.
Apart from being afraid of ghosts, she was most afraid of pain.
Therefore, Xiang Yi Mo only pushed the small hand clenched on his chest in a fluster.
“Ji Heng Yu… I–I can go back by myself.”
Ji Heng Yu glanced at her indifferently.
The other hand patted her buttocks, and the corners of his mouth quirked. “Be good. I won’t tell Qin Chu.” His voice was clearly gentle, but it had a threatening undertone.
Xiang Yi Mo: ?!
Xiang Yi Mo was startled. Her cherry-like mouth opened slightly, and anything she wanted to say was swallowed back along with the fragrant saliva that was naturally secreted in her mouth.
She instantly became exceptionally well-behaved and was just carried by Ji Heng Yu all the way down in front of everyone.
The eyes of those who saw this scene glittered. They watched the two until they were out of sight and then lowered their heads and excitedly chatted in the group chat again. Some even took pictures of their backs and posted them.
All of a sudden, the group chat became even more heated.
Before Xiang Yi Mo was sent home by Ji Heng Yu, even she had never thought she would see Lu Wang Chen in front of her house, let alone Ji Heng Yu.
The man stood leaning against the car door. A freshly smoked cigarette between his fingers. His cold face was hiding behind the thin, rising smoke, making it hard for one to see him.
Xiang Yi Mo was stunned, and she couldn’t react at all.
At the same time, Lu Wang Chen was also quite unprepared for this.
He originally just missed his little angel, so he unknowingly came to her residence and took out a cigarette to smoke while he waited for her.
Instead, he saw Ji Heng Yu’s car driving by?
The gynophobic Ji Heng Yu is taking Mo Mo home?
Lu Wang Chen found this unbelievable.
He hadn’t forgotten that Ji Heng Yu was the person who always stood the furthest away from Mo Mo in the past. But compared to other people of the opposite sex, Ji Heng Yu was not particularly repulsive to Mo Mo.
Maybe Ji Heng Yu took care of Mo Mo because… After all, she is considered the younger sister he grew up with, so he shows concern for her a little more?
Lu Wang Chen answered this to himself.
However, in his mind, he had just explained Ji Heng Yu’s behaviour for one second. But the next second, he saw the scene of Ji Heng Yu leading Xiang Yi Mo out of the car, and this explanation instantly didn’t work.
The three of them, with six eyes, looked at each other.
For some time, a very eerie silence fell upon the place.
