The wind at the hilltop was slightly blowing, making the place cool. All the customers at the cafe had left. and there were only the two of them left. The night was getting dark and the white moonlight shone on the ground.

  Xunuo looked up at the sky as it was rare for her to see such beautiful white moonlight shining down in such a beautiful manner. It made people feel relaxed.

  Listening to music, drinking coffee, and admiring the moon. How many times did she have to enjoy herself like this?

  There was a sudden ringtone, and An Xunuo was startled as it was a happy nursery rhyme. Ye Ningyuan stood up and only picked up the call after he walked toward the orchids.

  “Ningyuan, the party has ended.” Xu Xing’s sweet voice sounded through the phone. “When are you reaching?”


  Ye Ningyuan looked at his watch and smiled. “I’m at the hilltop. Wait for me. I’ll call you when I reach your house.”


  “Alright, drive safely.”


  “Happy birthday, Xu Xing.”


  “Yes, I’m very happy.”


  They chatted for a while before Ye Ningyuan ended the call and went back to his seat and said, “Miss An, it seems like we need to leave now.”


  An Xunuo waited the whole night to hear this sentence.

  She had already stood up, but Ye Ningyuan did not move. She was curious as to what he meant.

  “Pay for it. Did you forget that you are treating me?”


  An Xunuo gritted her teeth and suddenly remembered that she did not have money. She came out to steal stuff, so she did not bring any money with her. What was she going to use to treat him?

  She felt uneasy and awkward. She had forgotten about it just now and agreed to his request, but now, she felt angry. Ye Ningyuan must have done it on purpose.

  “Miss An has no money? I wouldn’t have asked you to treat me if you had said so earlier.” Ye Ningyuan sneered and stood up as if he was about to pay for it. An Xunuo stretched out her hand to stop him and took down the necklace on her neck.

  It was an expensive jade necklace with diamonds on it. Michael gave it to An Xunuo on her fifteenth birthday, and she loved it a lot.

  This was the only thing she had that was valuable at that moment. She did not want Ye Ningyuan to use this chance to make fun of her.

  “Is this necklace enough?” she raised her chin and asked. This necklace was enough to treat him to a few decades worth of coffee and cakes. An Xunuo put it on the table and walked out of the cafe.

  Ye Ningyuan was shocked……

  ‘Miss, aren’t you too…… cute?’


  He smiled, and the young man beside him punched him on his shoulders. “Hey, Ningyuan, you’re really capable. She’s such a beauty, yet you made her so angry that she took out this necklace. Let me see. The workmanship is not bad…… Hey, what are you doing?”


  The young man had not taken a closer look and the necklace was already snatched back.

  “I will give you another day off, but you shall bear the consequence if you don’t come back soon.” Ye Ningyuan smiled before leaving. The young man had a gloomy face. He really could not live anymore.

  “Big boss, can you give me another month off given how I’ve made the cake for you every year?” the young man asked loudly.

  “If not for the fact that you made the cake for so many years, do you think you would have your holidays?”


  “Bloodsucker!” The man mumbled.

  Ye Ningyuan was indeed a bloodsucker.

  An Xunuo was quiet throughout the journey back. She really liked the necklace and scolded Ye Ningyuan’s ancestors from eighteen generations back. Stingy, sinister, scheming! He was filled with shortcomings.

  She felt that he was affectionate just now, but now, she had lost all good impressions of him.

  Damn it!

  Ye Ningyuan looked at her cold face and smiled without saying anything.

  “Give me the chip!” The car drove into a bustling street, and An Xunuo stretched out her hand to get the chip. Ye Ningyuan was nice this time around and gave her the chip. An Xunuo asked him to stop the car as she could just alight by the roadside.

  “Aren’t you going to thank me?” An Xunuo got out of the car and was about to walk off when Ye Ningyuan stretched out his head and asked her. She looked back and her eyebrows were like a knife. “Thanks, Young Master Ye.”


  Her voice sounded like she had forced out the words. Ye Ningyuan smiled again as he drove past her. An Xunuo looked at the silver sports car driving further away and gritted her teeth. Ye Ningyuan, what a scumbag!

  Her phone rang and she could hear a cold voice. “Have you got the thing?”


  “I got it. I’ll be back real soon!” Her voice sounded even colder.

  In the basement of an auction house in London.

  An Xunuo passed the chip to a man wearing a silver mask. The man had a strong body and looked delicate, but he didn’t seem to be very old. His long hair was tied up, and the mask covered his whole face, so one could not tell what he looked like.

  He was An Xunuo’s superior, nicknamed Silver Moon.

  The man checked the content of the chip to make sure it was the correct one before he took out a sealed yellow envelope and passed it to her. “An Xunuo, this is the information of the next mission.”


  “What is it about?”


  “You can take a look at it.”


  An Xunuo’s expression became cold. She nodded and walked out without saying anything. Silver Moon stopped her. “An Xunuo, I hope that you can be mindful of your actions and not be in contact with people that you are not supposed to be with.”


  She turned around and smiled in askance. “What do you mean?”


  “You are clear of what you’ve done tonight.”


  An Xunuo walked toward Silver Moon step by step, her delicate face becoming colder. Her voice sounded domineering and arrogant. “Silver Moon, who are you? I will be with whoever I want to. This is my private life, and you have no right to interfere.”


  The woman’s eyebrows were cold and sharp like a knife, and the atmosphere became cold with a murderous vibe. That aura was so strong that one could not underestimate it. Silver Moon remained silent as An Xunuo turned around and walked out.

  The moment the door was opened, the lights from the chandelier shone in on his silver mask. It looked eerie, and it seemed like he was about to kill someone.

  Ye Ningyuan brought Xu Xing to a western restaurant to celebrate her birthday. He helped her blow the candles and cut the cake. Looking at how happy Xu Xing was eating, he could not help but ask, “Did you not eat during the party?”


  “I saved my stomach on purpose so that I can eat the cake with you. The party was too boring.”Xu Xing’s face became slightly red, looking very charming.

  “Silly lass.”


  “How dare you say this! You said that you would come earlier, but you caused me to wait for so long.”
