Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A wave of emotions crashed through Bai Yaoyao’s heart, and she felt so lost. She finally realized that love didn’t just involve two parties, but also both their families.
After experiencing so much, she finally understood that only love that received both families’ blessings was true love. Love would only bloom and blossom that way.
Therefore, Bai Yaoyao didn’t dare to let herself go and devote herself to another relations.h.i.+p.
After getting hurt once, she was afraid of getting her heart broken again. She would rather wait with an antic.i.p.ating heart than to dive in and try again.
She shuddered and stopped listening to the conversation. She then slowly walked towards the living room on the first floor.
…
After ending the call, Duan Yanhao couldn’t find Bai Yaoyao in the bedroom. Stunned, his face began to tighten with anxiety.
He started searching for Bai Yaoyao, calling out her name, “Yaoyao, Yaoyao…”
However, no matter how much he called, he couldn’t find her at all.
Duan Yanhao felt his heart empty again, and his face turned serious. Donning his casual outfit, he began to look around for Bai Yaoyao.
At that moment, there weren’t many servants in the villa since many of them had been fired.
Those servants had allowed He Meichun and her daughter to enter, making him so livid that he terminated all of them. He intended to hire a fresh batch to replace them, but he hadn’t been able to fully do so.
When Duan Yanhao asked a few of them about Bai Yaoyao’s whereabouts, no one had a clue.
Just as Duan Yanhao anxiously wanted to activate his guards again, the villa’s doorbell rang. Bai Yaoyao entered with a bag in her hands.
Duan Yanhao dashed forward and held Bai Yaoyao’s hands, pulling her into his arms.
Pus.h.i.+ng Duan Yanhao away gently, she asked, “Yan… Yanhao, what happened?” Bai Yaoyao didn’t know what had gotten into him.
However, Duan Yanhao was strong and continued holding her in his embrace. She didn’t stand a chance against him.
After a while, Duan Yanhao finally calmed himself down. He stared intently at Bai Yaoyao, almost swallowing her up.
Bai Yaoyao felt like retreating. She had never looked at Duan Yanhao for such a long time before. She was afraid that he would be able to tell what she felt deep down.
Duan Yanhao moved Bai Yaoyao’s body so that she was facing him. He asked, “Bai Yaoyao, why aren’t you looking at me? Why don’t you look me in the eye?”
Duan Yanhao thought that he couldn’t read Bai Yaoyao’s mind even when he tried to bid his past goodbye and accept her now.
She had always appeared like a gust of wind. He couldn’t hold her nor grasp what she was thinking.
Bai Yaoyao raised her head and smiled warmly at Duan Yanhao. “I went out to buy something. You look rather exhausted these past couple of days, so I want to cook some soup for you. It’ll help you sleep better at night.”
Duan Yanhao was taken aback. Looking at the bags in Bai Yaoyao’s hands, he realized that there were some herbs and other nutritious ingredients.
A wave of emotions crashed through Duan Yanhao as he answered, “You… You went out just to get these?”
Bai Yaoyao’s expression turned gentle as she smiled. “Why else would I have gone out? Seeing those dark circles around your eyes, I know you must not have rested well these two nights.”
Duan Yanhao rubbed the corners of his eyes. He really hadn’t seen the changes on his face. However, it was true that he hadn’t had a proper rest lately.
“Okay, stop hugging me. I’ll go cook some soup for you, so you can rest well tonight.”
As Duan Yanhao watched Bai Yaoyao leave for the kitchen, his hardened expression turned exceptionally gentle.
He had been in the military for six years and had grown used to taking care of himself. However, with Bai Yaoyao taking care of him tonight, his heart felt so warm.
