71 A Secret Kiss 1 (2/2)

”I'll give you credit for this.” Long Tianze was equally ecstatic about it and turned to An Xiaoning. ”Sister-in-law, reward our Young Master Jin properly tonight.”

”How about this, I'll let you both have the bed to sleep in tonight — you can reward him yourself, you two can learn some skills from each other.”

Long Tianze's face twisted into a look of disgust. ”No way!”

Byron ended up staying for a week. Mo Li was extremely satisfied with him. She packed up her belongings with her father and brother to prepare to leave the country.

Having stayed for decades in the Long family, they couldn't bear to leave that family, but for the sake of Mo Li, they were willing to leave. The Long family also declared that they were welcome to return anytime they wished to. It would still remain as their home.

The departure of Mo Li's family also resolved an inner struggle Long Tianze had fought against for a long time. Witnessing Mo Li fall into a living hell because of Ye Xiaotian was something he badly wanted to prevent but had been helpless to do so.

This situation now was extremely gratifying to him.

After they got their marriage certificate, all that's left was for their wedding to be held. The group would see them again to witness their moment of happiness.

At the dead of night…

A highly agile masked man entered Ye Xiaotian's residence.

With the surroundings dimly lit, Ye Xiaotian rested on the sofa with a glass of blood-red wine in his hands. His gaze unknowingly shifted towards a corner. Hearing a stir, he demanded, ”Speak.”

”These are the photos taken. Ms. Mo left with that man today. Her family went along too. According to my investigation, that man is a prince from Y Nation's royal family. He's not only business partners with Jin Qingyan but also good friends with him. From the looks of it, Jin Qingyan must have introduced him to Ms. Mo.”

Ye Xiaotian placed the wine glass on the table and grabbed the stack of photos. Just within a week, she had grown slightly plumper. Walking hand in hand with that handsome man, there was a radiant smile on her face, which she had displayed before in front of him.

All the photos were taken discreetly and were scenes of them merrily sight-seeing together.

”You may go.”

”Yes.”

Ye Xiaotian gripped onto a piece of photo in his hand tightly, fiercely crushing it into a ball. The look in his eyes deepened, yet it could not hide the fact that without Mo Li, a piece of his heart seemed to have disappeared.

A pair of high heels started clicking from a distance. Ye Xiaotian took the photos, ripping them into pieces before chucking them into the rubbish bin.

”Brother Xiaotian,” Sun Weiwei's voice came from the door.

”Mmm.” He acknowledged her and took out a cigarette to light. After drawing a breath, he cast a glance at the woman beside her and remarked, ”Even powder can't cover your rotting face anymore. Stop doing those drugs, they'll take your life someday.”

”I want to quit too, but I can't. I just finished shooting an advertisement, I'm dead beat. I thought of you, so I came over.” Sun Weiwei looked around and asked, ”She's asleep?”

”Gone.”

Sun Weiwei was secretly delighted. She thought that her previous warning had been of use, yet she maintained her composure and queried, ”Didn't you say you wouldn't let her go?”

”Jin Qingyan stepped into this matter.” Ye Xiaotian obviously did not wish to say more. ”If there's nothing else then go back, I would like to rest now.”

Sun Weiwei tried to appease him, ”Brother Xiaotian, I see you're not in a good mood. Why don't we go somewhere to have fun in a few days, just to take your mind off things?”

He stood up and replied, disgruntled, ”I don't want to go anywhere, just go back.”

Sun Weiwei watched as he turned his back and went upstairs, and so she had no choice but to leave angrily.

An Xiaoning's swimming skills were becoming more impressive day by day. She took two hours each day to learn. Every time she went to the hot spring pool, Jin Qingyan tagged along using the excuse of wanting to get a hot spring bath.

As they ended their session today, cool, cotton-like flakes fluttered down from the sky. An Xiaoning looked up and remarked in amazement, ”It's snowing.”
