Mu Sijue’s voice came from the phone and also the door. “I’m back.”


  The surround sound had a shocking effect. Xu Youning was stunned.

  From the morning till now, Mu Sijue had been away from City A for twelve hours, equaling to half a day.

  Xu Youning felt nothing but that the villa had become a little emptier.

  During half the day, she didn’t even think of Mu Sijue.

  Until this moment, until she really heard Mu Sijue’s voice, she didn’t realize that if Mu Sijue didn’t return soon, she would really start to miss him.

  Without him, their temporary home…… didn’t seem to be complete.

  Mu Sijue hung up the phone and strode straight to Xu Youning. His every step was so firm. She was therefore tempted.

  Xu Youning was still stunned as if she couldn’t believe that Mu Sijue had returned.

  Mu Sijue stopped in front of Xu Youning and looked down at her with a touch of playfulness in his deep and serene eyes.

  He suddenly leaned over and approached Xu Youning. “Your reaction is different from what I imagined.”


  Xu Youning looked up into Mu Sijue’s eyes and asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”


  Mu Sijue said, “I imagined that you would welcome me back in other ways.”


  “.……” Xu Youning shrugged and smiled innocently. “It’s not my fault. You’re too imaginative.”


  How could Mu Sijue have time to secretly imagine how she would welcome him back?

  Xu Youning suddenly became curious. “Mu Sijue, how do you think I will welcome you? Do you want me to use the same way as primary school students welcome their classmates back?”


  Mu Sijue tilted his head and pressed his warm lips close to Xu Youning’s ear. “We’re both adults. Of course, you should welcome me back like adults usually do.”


  Suddenly, there was a hint of ambiguity in the air.

  Xu Youning’s ear was itchy, and she was not used to it and avoided it. “Mu Sijue, except for those dirty things, is there anything else in your mind?”


  Mu Sijue stared at Xu Youning and said frankly, “No…… at this moment.”


  His frankness did come so fast like a tornado that Xu Youning couldn’t resist it.

  Fortunately, Mumu ran downstairs.

  The little boy was surprised to see Mu Sijue. “Eek! Mr. Mu, you’re back!”


  “Yep.” Mu Sijue said, “Sorry, I’m late.”


  “Well, it doesn’t matter!” Mumu smiled and said, “Mr. Lu told me that you were delayed by something!”


  Only then did Mu Sijue realize that this kid was more sensible than he had imagined.

  He motioned for Mumu to go to the living room. “I’ll play games with you.”


  Mumu looked at the time and tilted his head. “Aren’t you tired? Even if you’re not, I’m going to sleep.”


  Aunt Zhou came downstairs and pulled Mumu away. “Mumu’s right. It’s too late to play games now. Little Seven, you are in your thirties, but you are not as sensible as a four-year-old child. Mumu, I will take you to take a bath.”


  “Okay.” Mumu strode upstairs with Aunt Zhou and asked curiously, “Granny Zhou, is Mr. Mu in his thirties?”


  Aunt Zhou nodded. “Yeah.”


  Mumu stuck out his tongue. “Mr. Mu is so old……”


  Compared with Mumu, who was four years old, Mu Sijue was indeed not young. At this thought, Aunt Zhou didn’t refute Mumu.

  Mu Sijue’s anger rose in an instant. He wanted to catch Mumu and tell him the difference between “old people” and “adults”.

  However, Aunt Zhou was holding the little boy’s hand. He was likely to be scolded before he did anything.

  “Ahem!”


  Xu Youning couldn’t help coughing after holding back her laughter for a long time. Mu Sijue looked at her, and he had glanced at the smile on her face before she became calm.

  Mu Sijue got even angrier, and he approached Xu Youning and asked, “It’s so funny, huh?”


  He always gave off a kind of aura. To put it bluntly, it was a kind of aura from cool, serious, and masculine men, which was pleasant to smell and sexy.

  As he approached Xu Youning, the aura also turned on her.

  Xu Youning’s heart suddenly beat wildly, but she couldn’t let Mu Sijue see her shyness!

  “Ahem……” Xu Youning pretended to emphasize seriously, “In Mumu’s eyes, you may be old. But, I think you’re good at this age, really!”


  “What’s the good thing about me?” Mu Sijue forced Xu Youning into a corner and locked her with his arms and body. “Say it out, and I’ll let you go.”


  Having been “locked” by Mu Sijue for so long, Xu Youning had basically figured out his tricks.

  Mu Sijue was probably going to talk dirty again.

  She couldn’t retreat, or she would be dragged onto the bed.

  Thinking of that, Xu Youning looked into Mu Sijue’s eyes and said with a hollow laugh, “We match each other in terms of age! It’s perfect for us to be together!”


  Mu Sijue’s hand went down and stopped on Xu Youning’s shoulder ambiguously. “Don’t we match each other in other aspects than age?”


  Xu Youning became angry and gave Mu Sijue a push. “It’s improper to force others to praise you. You’re even an adult!”


  Mu Sijue smiled and said, “Then let’s do something suitable and proper for adults to do.”


  Xu Youning knew what Mu Sijue was referring to. She subconsciously wanted to run away, but Mu Sijue kissed her lips first.

  Mu Sijue kissed her very hard.

  He had been teasing Xu Youning all the time, so he hadn’t been able to tell her that he missed her.

  He went back to City G to repair the memory card left by Yunyun’s parents.

  The company’s engineer said that it was damaged seriously and that it would take some time to repair it. If he was in a hurry to know the contents of the memory card, it would be best if he could stay and repair it together with the engineer.

  He immediately thought of Xu Youning.

  He was worried that Xu Youning was left alone in City A. He was not sure whether he was afraid that she would escape or that Kang Ruicheng would come to take her away.

  He was only sure that he couldn’t leave Xu Youning alone in City A.

  Xu Youning must be within his sight.

  Mu Sijue told the engineer something about the card, then went back to the company to deal with some things, and immediately rushed back to City A. He even had dinner on the helicopter.

  Thinking of that, Mu Sijue bit Xu Youning’s lips with moderate force.

  “Hiss!” Xu Youning gave Mu Sijue a push. “What are you doing?”


  Damn! Could he not bite her on the spur of the moment?

  “The meal on the helicopter tasted bad, so I’m not full.” Mu Sijue stroked Xu Youning’s chin and looked at her meaningfully. “I want to eat some snacks.”


  Xu Youning almost spat out a mouthful of blood. “Mu Sijue, you are the midnight snack!”


  Mu Sijue was not angry at all. “I’m standing in front of you. Do you want to eat me?”


  “No appetite!”


  Xu Youning refused him decisively. Then she bent her knees and squatted down, trying to escape.

  Mu Sijue reacted very quickly. He stopped Xu Youning and looked at her leisurely. “Where are you going?”


  “.……” Xu Youning stretched her legs and argued, “I’ve been standing here for too long, and I cannot feel my legs, so I want to exercise.”


  Mu Sijue seemed to believe Xu Youning’s words and asked, “Do you want to do some exercises for another part?”


  Xu Youning didn’t react in time. “Where?”


  Mu Sijue stared at Xu Youning’s lips and said, “Here.”


  As soon as he finished speaking, he kissed Xu Youning.

  “Uhh!”


  Xu Youning protested loudly, but her protest was ineffective. She had nowhere to escape, and could only raise her head and bear Mu Sijue’s barbaric plunder.

  At this time, footsteps came from the second floor, and they were getting closer and closer. It should be Aunt Zhou who was coming downstairs.

  “Mu Sijue!” Xu Youning called him in a vague voice, trying to let him release her.

  If their elder saw them kissing in the living room, it would create a bad effect!

  Mu Sijue turned a deaf ear to her words. Instead, when Xu Youning opened her mouth, he stuck his tongue straight into it and wantonly squeezed Xu Youning’s sweetness.

  His tongue seemed to be able to taste Xu Youning’s unique sweetness, and it was obsessed with her lips.

  Xu Youning gave up struggling. It was probably one of Mu Sijue’s guilty pleasures that the more she struggled, the more he would enjoy the feeling of controlling her.

  Forget it. She didn’t care if Aunt Zhou saw them kissing. Anyway, she was not the only one who lost face!

  Mu Sijue had calculated the time right. The moment Aunt Zhou came downstairs, he let go of Xu Youning and pretended that nothing had happened.

  However, Aunt Zhou still saw it.

  Seeing Mu Sijue’s look, Aunt Zhou could only pretend not to see it and keep calm. “Are you hungry? I’ll prepare some snacks for you.”


  Snacks……

  Xu Youning’s blood all rushed up as if to spurt out of her throat.

  Why did Aunt Zhou mention this word of “snacks”?

  Mu Sijue smiled and said, “Aunt Zhou, don’t bother. We’ll eat something else.”


  “You’ve prepared something to eat?” Aunt Zhou nodded. “Okay, I won’t prepare it.”


  Mu Sijue didn’t speak and carried Xu Youning upstairs.

  Xu Youning didn’t expect Mu Sijue to dare to do this in front of Aunt Zhou. She exclaimed, “Mu Sijue!”


  Mu Sijue remained unmoved. He entered the room and elbowed the door backward. With a “bang” sound, the door was closed, giving people infinite reverie……

  Aunt Zhou went to get a glass of water, sat down on the sofa, and drank water slowly.

  The young today were really, really……

  Thinking of this, Aunt Zhou laughed.

  She was used to seeing Mu Sijue being cold-blooded, ruthless, and decisive. Maybe she hadn’t been used to seeing Mu Sijue being emotional for the time being.

  What could not be denied was that Mu Sijue seemed to be happier than ever.

  This was enough.

  Aunt Zhou put away the glass in the kitchen and went upstairs to sleep.

  The night was getting darker, and it was quiet at the mountaintop. Su Yicheng also took Luo Xiaoxi back to the house that Su Jian’an had prepared for them.

  An idea occurred to Luo Xiaoxi. She jumped on Su Yicheng’s back, saying, “You carry me!”


  On a cold night at the top of the mountain in winter, under the starlight and moonlight, she lay prone on Su Yicheng’s back, which sounded very romantic!

  Su Yicheng had been used to Luo Xiaoxi’s sudden idea. He carried her on his back and slowly stepped forward.

  Luo Xiaoxi put her arms around Su Yicheng’s neck and rested her chin on his shoulder. “Let’s stay here for a few days.”


  Su Yicheng asked, “Do you like it here?”


  “Yep.” Luo Xiaoxi said, “I like this place very much at present.”


  Su Yicheng said, “Then we’ll stay until you no longer like this place.”


  Luo Xiaoxi deliberately scared Su Yicheng. “What if I like it all the time?”


  Su Yicheng replied with great certainty, “You won’t.”


  He had known Luo Xiaoxi for so many years. Except for him, Luo Xiaoxi always had a three-minute passion for anything else. She would find a new target in a few days.

  It seemed that it was his greatest happiness that Luo Xiaoxi fell in love with him at first sight and then loved him for more than ten years.
