He looked down with his clear, cold eyes, his gaze falling onto Pei Yunge unconsciously.

What changed his mind? Even now, he couldn’t understand why he decided to take her home.

When they first met, all he thought was that this was a pitiful little kitten. One that acted obediently yet liked to scratch others too.

Indeed, she was interesting. But he never thought anything would grow between them. However, once he was done dealing with that Ling person, his thought had somehow changed.

This young lady was too beautiful. If the Qin family couldn’t look after her properly, she would definitely meet bad people and go down the wrong path eventually.

The darkness in Huo Shidu’s eyes disappeared as the corners of his lips curled up.

Never mind.

With an index finger on her cheek, he brushed it against it, a gentle caress.

“Good night, Yunyun.”


In the bar.

Qin Lang was still searching for his younger sister as his heart was heightened with unease and panic.

It was at this time that Qin Yu called him.

“How is it? Did you manage to contact your friend?” Qin Lang asked impatiently.

“He’s already taken her,” Qin Yu said before he added, “It’s that person I told you about before.”

“Where is he?” Qin Lang asked immediately.

“I think they just left…”

Before Qin Yu could finish speaking, Qin Lang burst out of the bar with a tight grip on his phone.

“Mr Qin? Where are you going?”

Even though Qin Lang heard the voice behind him, he didn’t turn back and ran straight out of the bar instead.

It was only when he saw a Lincoln limousine drive away that the glimmer in his eyes flickered slightly. The man’s usually arrogant-looking short, silver hair was drenched, sticking slightly haggardly to his face as raindrops fell on his cheek.

His slightly red eyes stared into the distance where the vehicle had disappeared towards.

His fists were clenched tightly.

Thump. The feeling in his heart was one that was empty and at the same time, wrenching in pain.

Once they arrived at the destination, the car doors opened and the warmth inside was invaded by the freezing cold raindrops outside.

It was then that Pei Yunge finally woke up, her eyes bleary and mind fuzzy. As she rubbed the slumber out of her eyes, it was only after a while that she gradually regained her senses.

What… Did she just fall asleep?

“Are you awake?”

Huo Shidu didn’t think that Pei Yunge would wake up so quickly. Judging from her appearance, she probably hadn’t slept for several days now.

“Mm.”

Pei Yunge hadn’t organized her words properly before she asked without thinking, “Does Older Brother sleep alone?”

Once she finished asking what she wanted, Pei Yunge suddenly felt that her words sounded rather ambiguous. However, the prospects of having a peaceful sleep was way too attractive to Pei Yunge.

At this moment, Huo Shidu was somewhat taken aback. He probably didn’t think that this young lady would be this direct either.

The man’s eyes darkened as mischief flashed in them. His lazy drawl seemed to be lengthened on purpose.

“Yunyun, you’re an adult too. You have to hold on more when it comes to Older Brother.”

“…”

After they entered Huo Shidu’s villa, Pei Yunge finally realized that this was at least twice the size of the Qin family.

However, the interior style was simple and refined. From the facade of the walls to the overall arrangement of the interior space, everything made one feel comfortable.

“Where’s Er… Alas?”

As soon as she asked, she realized that Huo Shidu was on a call.

“He’s at the Old Mansion with Xiao Mo,” he responded, before instructing the person on the other end of the call, “Make some sober-up tea and bring it over.”


After he hung up, he glanced towards Pei Yunge. “Go and sleep after having the sober-up tea. You’re not allowed to go to a bar again.”

“Mm, okay,” Pei Yunge agreed absent-mindedly as she thought about what she had to do in order to stay by Huo Shidu’s side longer. The nap she had in the car earlier, was probably her first peaceful sleep she had had in the past dozen years.

And it was all because of this man in front of her.

Not too long after, an elderly servant walked into the living room with a cup of sober-up tea. When she saw Pei Yunge, her expression morphed into an unusual expression, almost one of bewilderment.

“Auntie, is this for me?”

As she asked, Pei Yunge was sitting on the sofa with her cheeks resting between her hands, her eyes curled up in a smile.

“I believe so…”

When the servant regained her senses, she hurriedly passed the sober-up tea to Pei Yunge. “This sober-up tea does not taste too bad. Please drink more, Miss.”
