Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Nian Xiaomu almost did not have time to catch a breather and rushed in with her bag in hand.
However, she was left completely stunned when she ran to the entrance of the villa’s living room and discerned the scene before her.
In the huge living room of the villa, Yu Yuehan’s tall body laid slumped on the luxurious sofa.
His long and slender legs were crossed, and he placed them on the coffee table.
With one hand supporting his head, he leaned against the cus.h.i.+on with a slanted posture.
With a loving look, his deep and soulful eyes were fixated on Xiao Liuliu, who was crawling and rolling around on his lap.
Xiao Liuliu’s fine and soft long hair was tied into buns; she looked extremely adorable from the flush on her tender and delicate face.
Nian Xiaomu could not help but miss Xiao Liuliu even though it had only been two days since they last met.
At this moment, she should have went up happily and scooped the little girl she had missed so dearly into her embrace while showering the little girl with hugs and kisses.
However, she would need someone to explain the situation to her first.
What happened to Xiao Liuliu falling down and injuring herself?
The father and daughter pair was playing with each other happily—why was Nian Xiaomu seeing this instead?
“Pretty Sister!” The moment Xiao Liuliu lifted her tiny head, she noticed Nian Xiaomu, who was standing at the door in shock. Her soft and squishy body slipped away from Yu Yuehan’s embrace immediately.
She sprinted at lightning speed toward Nian Xiaomu.
With a thump, Xiao Liuliu crashed into her embrace.
Even though Nian Xiaomu was still in a daze, she instinctively gave Xiao Liuliu a hug when Xiao Liuliu b.u.mped into her all of a sudden.
“Pretty Sister, I missed you so much!”
That babyish and spoiled voice of hers melted Nian Xiaomu’s heart in an instant.
Lowering her head, Nian Xiaomu gave Xiao Liuliu a peck on her tiny face and said, “I missed you very much too. Come, let me take a look. Is your arm alright now?”
The butler, who stood by the side, was swamped with a guilty conscience and wanted to leave the scene the moment he heard what Nian Xiaomu said.
However, Nian Xiaomu was already walking toward his direction even before he could take his first step out.
“Butler, you told me just now that Xiao Liuliu had a fall. How did it happen?”
Butler: “…”
The butler’s gaze subconsciously floated to Yu Yuehan, who was seated on the sofa. When he saw that Yu Yuehan had no intention of explaining himself, he displayed a look that said: “Young Master, you were the one who made me lie—how could you leave me in the lurch?”
“Yes, she had a fall… Erm, she slipped off of the sofa. It looked like she had sprained her hand… Actually, perhaps it wasn’t that serious, and she should be fine after some rest…”
The butler was not someone who was good at lying, and he finally completed his words after much stumbling.
Nian Xiaomu: “…”
Why did the butler look so afraid that it seemed as if his soul had disappeared? Why had he gone to such an extent that he anxiously summoned her back when Xiao Liuliu had only slipped off of the sofa?
The butler must be someone who had tackled all kinds of situations since he had been working in the Yu Family villa for such a long time.
As Nian Xiaomu lowered her gaze and looked at Xiao Liuliu, who was wrapped in her embrace, she had this feeling that something was amiss.
“Xiao Liuliu, do you feel unwell anywhere?”
“Daddi wasn’t happy and ordered them to cut off all the roses in the garden!” As Xiao Liuliu lifted her head up, she moved close to Nian Xiaomu’s ear and revealed the secret in a soft voice.
Following which, she made her way out of Nian Xiaomu’s embrace. Pulling her hand, Xiao Liuliu led Nian Xiaomu and headed in the direction of Yu Yuehan, who was seated on the sofa.
Nian Xiaomu: “…”
He had actually cut off all the roses in the entire garden—did the roses offend him so much that he had such resentment against them?
However, he didn’t look very angry from that expression of his.
At least he did not give her a death stare. He even seemed to have smiled at her…
After ensuring that Xiao Liuliu was fine, Nian Xiaomu was hesitating about whether she should ask him if he was in a bad mood, but her cell phone rang before she could ask the question.
She noticed the name “President Chen Jr.” flickering on the screen when she took her cell phone out from her bag.
Just when she wanted to answer the call, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her and enveloped her…
