Chapter 20

He knew what life was like for her in the Qiao family. It had been like this since she was young. Qiao Ya would get plenty of expensive stuff which she had to live without. Fortunately, she did not really mind. It was just that sometimes when she really wanted something, she would talk about it again and again to Li Yan. “Big brother, what does the ice cream Qiao Ya is eating taste like? It looks really tasty.”

Li Yan would then reply, “It’s spicy.”

“Ah? It’s definitely not tasty, then.”

Li Yan would then laugh as he looked at her. Now that Qiao Mu thought about it, he was definitely laughing because of how stupid she was. She used to believe in everything he said.

He would then buy her an ice cream, and she would eat it so messily that her lips were full of cream. She would then ask him, “Big brother, do you want to give it a try. There’s some cream on my lips. Do you want to lick it?”

Qiao Mu was surprised at how good her memory was. She had actually forgotten a lot of things that had happened when she was young, but after she met Li Yan again, she could not help but recall a lot of memories she shared with him.

When she regained her senses, she saw that Li Yan was walking toward him. She froze and looked vigilantly at him as he approached her. She clutched her blanket tightly.

Li Yan’s expression turned dark. Her vigilance had put him in an extremely bad mood.

Li Yan stood beside the bed and leaned closer to Qiao Mu, supporting himself by placing a hand on the bed. Qiao Mu vigilantly inched backward to keep a distance from him.

His handsome countenance was right before her face. Whenever he was expressionless, his face was ice-cold, and he emanated an extremely icy aura that radiated from the inside to the outside. For some reason, this made her anxious.

Li Ya said in a low voice, “You want money so that you can buy luxury goods?”

“Yes!” Qiao Mu nodded vigorously.

“Is there anything else you want?”

“Nothing else!” At this moment, Qiao Mu forgot how anxious she was. She suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, and it was as if she could see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Li Yan’s gaze fell upon her exposed shoulders. Her skin was as fair as a flawless piece of jade, and it was tremendously soft too.
