Liu Haiyang was tall but skinny, and he was wearing a pair of spectacles, which made him come across as a refined gentleman.
A pity he wasn’t the kind of guy that Xia Nuannuan liked.
All of his life, Liu Haiyang had professed his love to Xia Nuannuan umpteen times. However, he had been rejected by Xia Nuannuan every single time.
And at that moment, he had brought Xia Nuannuan’s mom and dad to Beijing, yet she hadn’t even suggested having a drink or a meal together. She had the look of wanting to draw the lines of their relations.h.i.+p very clearly.
Liu Haiyang narrowed his eyes as he lowered his head. “I have decided to find a job in Beijing and not go back, so I will be staying at a hotel in the meantime.”
Xia Nuannuan pondered for a moment when she heard those words. She then said, “Sure, which hotel are you staying at? It’s late now, should I take you to the hotel?”
Liu Haiyang immediately raised his head and glanced at Xia Nuannuan before taking a deep breath. He shook his head and replied, “No need, I will go there myself.”
Xia Nuannuan nodded once again. “I won’t stand on ceremony with you then! When you’ve reached the hotel, do give me a call so that I know you’ve reached it safely. I’ll be a better host by treating you to a meal when I’m free.”
Liu Haiyang nodded.
Xia Nuannuan, together with Mom Xia and Dad Xia, walked Liu Haiyang to the door.
After Liu Haiyang left, Dad Xia sighed. “I thought that you two would eventually become a couple. Actually, this child, Liu Haiyang is quite fine.”
However, Xia Nuannuan changed the subject. “Dad, aren’t you two tired after the journey?”

After Liu Haiyang walked, he turned around to take a look.
He realized that the streetlights were already turned on.
By that time, the sky had already turned dark.
Lights were waning in Beijing.
Yet he felt dejected.
He deeply sighed before turning around and heading outside.
When he reached the doorstep, he saw a car stop in front of him.
Liu Haiyang froze and the car window gradually came down. He then saw a wealthy lady’s face. “Gentleman, shall we have a chat if you are interested?”
–
Xia Nuannuan did not know where Liu Haiyang had gone after leaving the place.
After telling her parents about where the daily necessities were placed, she chatted with them for a short while and ordered food. After finis.h.i.+ng their dinner, Xia Nuannuan then left Dad Xia and Mom Xia to rest for the day. She went downstairs and headed home.
While she was on the cab, she thought of Liu Haiyang and picked up her cell phone to call him.
He picked up the call quickly. His voice came through the other end of the line, “h.e.l.lo?”
Xia Nuannuan heard some fine music coming from the background and was a little stunned. “Where are you?”
Liu Haiyang replied, “I am at the hotel, what’s the matter?”
Xia Nuannuan thought nothing of it and answered, “I am relieved that you got there safe. My mom and dad said that they will be preparing lunch tomorrow afternoon and they would like to invite you, to thank you for bringing them.”
Liu Haiyang replied politely, “Most welcome.”
“So that’s a deal then.”
However, Liu Haiyang then asked, “Will you be there?”
Unable to control her laughter, Xia Nuannuan chuckled. “It’s my house, of course I’ll have to be around to host my guests.”
Liu Haiyang nodded.
After she hung up the phone, Xia Nuannuan did not think too much into it and walked into the villa.
Mei Feng had probably gone out, as she was not home.
She didn’t mind, headed upstairs and entered the master bedroom.
Suddenly, she felt pain in her lower abdomen.
When she entered the toilet, she discovered that her clothes were stained with blood.
As she saw the blood, Xia Nuannuan pupils shrank at once.
