Her soft and tender feet were stepping on his thighs. Instinctively, a trace of gentleness streaked across Mo Jiangye’s initially cold and aloof eyes. Ye Erruo’s heart felt cozy, as if it was surrounded by a ball of soft and warm cotton.
“I didn’t lie. It’s really a former classmate,” She said in a serious manner.
“Man or woman?”
“... Man... Erm... ”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing that Mo Jiangye was narrowing his eyes again, Ye Erruo did a ‘U-turn’. “Woman!”
“Please minimize contact!” Mo Jiangye’s eyes dimmed. It was unsure if he believed her words but he did not continue to pursue the matter. He swept her into his arms with his big hands. He had been applying medication on the wounds on her arm and lips and they had fully healed. He had not touched her for more than half a month.
At night, Ye Erruo brought back all the clothes that she had given to Gu Feirou. The only thing that she had not taken back was the gift from her foster mother.
“Young madam, we’ve searched all over the bedroom that you and young master lived in last time.”
“It’s not in the box on the dressing table?” She had clearly remembered putting it on the dressing table. How could it be missing?
“We’ve searched it, young madam.”
All of a sudden, Ye Erruo did not have any appetite for dinner. The gift from her foster mother was not cheap. It was a necklace. She heard from her foster mother that it was inlaid one by one with beads of crystal, jadeite, jade, diamond, and agate and strung together with silver wire. It was in the shape of a peacock feather and had a mysterious feel to it. Anyone who had seen it was astonished by its beauty.
She dared not wear it normally as it was very precious and expensive. She had been storing it in the dressing table. Besides a few designated cleaners who could enter Mo Jiangye and her bedroom, no one else was permitted to go in.
Could it be that the cleaner accidentally took it out? That was quite unlikely. That necklace had been on the dressing table for a long time. After she and Mo Jiangye moved away, no one was permitted to enter their bedroom. How could it be missing?!!!
“What is happening?” Mo Jiangye, who was beside her, saw her frowning and putting down her utensils.
“I need to make a trip back to the old residence of the Lin family. Go with me. I have left behind a very important item there. Sister Zhang went over to look for it today but could not find it.”
“Finish your meal.”
He filled a bowl with porridge and put it before her calmly.
“We’ll eat it after we come back.”
He grasped her wrist with one hand. “Finish your porridge first.”
Feeling helpless, Ye Erruo anxiously gulped down the porridge in two to three mouthfuls. Seeing that she was on pins and needles, Mo Jiangye agreed to ‘release’ her to the old Lin residence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon reaching the old residence, as per what Sister Zhang said, the necklace was lost. Ye Erruo could not find it despite searching for a long time.
“Oh no... Oh no... ”
Ye Erruo sighed helplessly. To her, that necklace was a remembrance gift from her foster mother. However, her foster mother had given her quite a lot of things and that necklace was not the only one. However, it was a sheer pity that it was lost. She felt regretful about it.
“What did you lose?” action
“A necklace. I placed it on this dressing table. You’ve seen it before.”
“Since it’s lost, forget it. If you like it, I can buy you another one.”
“Forget it. Since we can’t find it, let’s go back.” She turned around and bumped into the firm and strong chest of the man.
When she suddenly lifted her gaze, her nostrils were filled with that bewitching masculine scent on his body. His slightly protruding adam’s apple was right before her. Over her head was his slightly pointed chin and scorching breaths. All of a sudden, Ye Erruo felt a little dazed. Just as she was wanted to push him away quickly, his big hands secured the back of her neck. He led her body backward and she was pressed against the dressing table.
She widened her big and beautiful eyes and looked up. “Mo... Mmm... ”
His slightly cold fingers were brushing against her red lips. He made no attempt to disguise the tenderness and dangerous glint in his eyes.
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard coming from the outside of the door. Just as Ye Erruo turned around, she was shrouded in darkness. He had already sealed her pretty lips without any reservation.
