That guy must be planning to sit for a while after escorting Madam Guo and her daughter back to their residence.
Guo Xueming is dignified and gracious, speaking in a gentle and delicate voice, a breath of spring to all who hear her. Perhaps they’ll take an immediate liking to each other, and then discuss everything from poetry to philosophy, until the moon climbs the treetops, agreeing to watch the moon together... freeweɓnovel.cøm
Daohua was letting her imagination run wild when suddenly a pair of hands reached from behind and covered her eyes, followed by a chuckling whisper in her ear.
"Guess who?"
A surge of indescribable joy rose in Daohua’s heart, and she quickly removed the hands from her eyes, turning to smile at Xiao Yeyang, "Aren’t you being childish, playing such games."
Xiao Yeyang didn’t ignore the joy in Daohua’s eyes and asked with a smile, "What were you thinking about just now? You didn’t even notice me coming in."
Daohua paused, moved away from the window, and sat down at the table. She took a sip of tea and then said, "I wasn’t thinking about anything. By the way, weren’t you supposed to send Madam Guo and Miss Guo off? How come you’re here?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and sat down beside her, "I knew you’d be concerned about that."
Daohua glared at him, "Who’s concerned?" She sounded less than convincing.
Xiao Yeyang took her hand, "I left as soon as I escorted them to the door." As he spoke, he inspected Daohua closely.
Daohua said with dissatisfaction, "What are you looking at?"
Xiao Yeyang asked, "The men in black attacked Guankou Building, you weren’t hurt, were you?"
Daohua shook her head, "What about you? Are you alright?"
Xiao Yeyang’s eyes darted around before he grimaced in pain, "I’m not."
Daohua eyed him suspiciously, "Stop trying to fool me. If you were really hurt, could you have escorted Madam Guo and Miss Guo?"
Xiao Yeyang replied, "Isn’t that to mislead Eighth Prince’s people?" After speaking, he shifted uncomfortably, touching his injured left shoulder, "I might have aggravated the wound during the fight, it’s probably bleeding again."
At this, Daohua could no longer sit still, "Let me see," she insisted, reaching out to check Xiao Yeyang’s wound.
Xiao Yeyang quickly held her hand, "This is a store, with too many prying eyes. Come, I’ll take you to my new residence."
Daohua looked surprised, "You actually bought a new residence?"
Xiao Yeyang, holding her hand, left through the back door, saying as they walked, "Of course, many people are watching my old estate now, I can’t be bothered to go back there."
"Come on, I’ll show you around ’our’ residence."
Upon hearing this, Daohua pinched Xiao Yeyang’s waist again, "What’s this ’our’ residence you speak of? Watch your words..."
Before she could finish, Daohua noticed that Xiao Yeyang’s expression had changed. As soon as he stepped inside, he turned around and leaned in close.
Daohua instinctively moved backward until her back was against the door, stopping only as Xiao Yeyang continued to approach. "Xiao Yeyang, what’s wrong with you?" she asked.
Xiao Yeyang didn’t speak and extended his uninjured right arm, trapping Daohua between his arm and the wall. Then, he lowered his head and moved in to kiss her.
Daohua was startled by his sudden move. Just as Xiao Yeyang’s lips were about to touch hers, she quickly covered his mouth with her hand.
"Xiao Yeyang, what is it with you?"
Xiao Yeyang took a few deep breaths, grabbed Daohua’s hands that were covering his mouth, gave a few light pecks, and then with a hoarse voice said, "In the future, you can pinch me anywhere, just don’t touch my waist."
Daohua was taken aback and then quickly nodded, "I won’t pinch you again."
Xiao Yeyang looked at her with a smile, "You can pinch me." After saying that, he touched her head and continued to lead her inside the house.
