Xiang Yuanjiu hadn’t expected Yun Xi to know about this, and, gazing at her with a look of astonishment, he didn’t know what to say.

With her head c.o.c.ked, Yun Xi leaned against the wall nonchalantly as she bathed in the warm suns.h.i.+ne.

Today, she was wearing a long light-green skirt and a dark-green cardigan. Looking like a tough young vine growing on the wall, she sat in front of the dilapidated house.

This place was far away from Jingdu, and it was possible to smell the faint scent of chrysanthemums in the air.

Xiang Yuanjiu stared at her dazedly. Her crystal-clear eyes seemed to gleam like twinkling stars.

He suddenly felt that what he was doing was defiling her.

This girl in front of him was innocent and beautiful, unlike most of those calculating women.

She was like a th.o.r.n.y white rose, proud and difficult to approach.

“How did you know?”

Now that he’d been exposed, Xiang Yuanjiu lowered his head in embarra.s.sment. Feeling as if she’d seen through his mind, he couldn’t bring himself to lift his head.

“The timing of your appearance was too coincidental and inexplicable. Despite not even knowing me, you said you’d fallen in love with me, so that was suspicious. And I have only offended one person recently–Han Wanling. I am a very vigilant person. I am suspicious of anyone who approaches me.”

“Sorry…”

Yun Xi chuckled softly. “You are a very good son, so I won’t hold your ulterior motives for approaching me against you. If you are willing to help me, I will help you persuade your mother to go to the hospital for surgery, and I will help you with the surgery fee.”

“Help you? How do you think I can help you?”

“When Han Wanling asks you to do something, you can tell me in advance. As for the rest, do whatever you see fit.”

“Okay! I’ll help you.” Xiang Yuanjiu agreed without hesitation.

Since the last time she’d rescued him, he’d had the desire to give up this business.

If it hadn’t been for the surgery fee, he wouldn’t have done such immoral things.
