246 A Peck on His Cheek (1/2)

”Familiar?” Yang Yun raised a brow. He grabbed her hands and pulled her closer to him. ”He is a friend of Xue Yi Ming. You have seen him a few times.”

”I don't mean it that way. I know that he is a friend of Brother Xue,” Jiang Mingyue said. She tightened her grip on Yang Yun's hands. ”I thought I might see his face in our world.”

Yang Yun turned around to look at the others who stood not far away from them. As Yang Yun and Mingyue had not seen each other for a while, the others decided to give the couple some space tactfully.

Currently, the husband and wife hid behind Xue Yi Ming's Cayenne, away from other's eyes. Yang Yun's gaze stopped at Li Ran. He searched through his memory and frowned when he could not recall seeing Li Ran's face in their world before.

”It might be someone who looks like him,” Yang Yun said.

Mingyue pondered over it for a few seconds longer and shrugged. ”Perhaps.”

”What are you thinking about?”

Mingyue shook her head. ”Nothing. It's only a feeling that he was someone familiar. That's all,” she said. Mingyue glanced at Li Ran again before she turned to look at Yang Yun. ”When are you going to the mountain to look for that place?”

”If nothing goes wrong, I should head up in two days,” Yang Yun said.

”I want to come with you.”

”No,” Yang Yun immediately declined. ”It might be dangerous up there. We might have to climb up higher till the third peak. We did not know how the path is going to be. I'll be more assured if you stay here.”

Mingyue pouted but did not say anything. She understood Yang Yun's concern. Although she used to go hiking with Yang Yun back in Da Cheng, he had never taken her to any dangerous place. If she insisted on going with Yang Yun this time, she might slow down Yang Yun's search for that place.

”Be good and wait for my return,” Yang Yun patted her on her hair. ”You should stay home and take good care of your body.” His lips curved into a pampering smile when Mingyue's pout gradually disappeared. ”When are you returning to the city?”

”I took a leave from the hospital until next week,” Mingyue said. ”I should return to the city a day before I start working. My parents will not be assured if I return earlier.”

Yang Yun frowned. His heart ached at the thought that he needed to be away from his wife for a while longer. At least, if Mingyue stayed in the city, he can always go and look for her like he used to.

”I miss you,” Yang Yun said with a sigh.

”I miss you too.” Mingyue bit her lower lips, feeling slightly bashful at their exchange. She looked around, and once Mingyue was sure that the others were not looking their way, Mingyue tiptoed and landed a quick kiss on her husband's cheek.

His eyes darkened at her sudden act. A peck on his cheek? That wouldn't be enough to satisfy him.

Just before Yang Yun was about to pull her closer to him and returned her kiss, Mingyue spoke again.
