Xia Qingyi wanted to wake him up to ask him what had happened exactly, but Mo Han did not look at him at all. He merely pulled Xia Qingyi along without looking back as they went out.

  “My hand hurts.” she said softly behind Mo Han.

  Mo Han kept quiet as he kept his grip tight on her wrist.

  “Stop. I’m not wearing shoes and my feet hurt.” Xia Qingyi tried to drag Mo Han back, not wanting him to continue walking. She had just woken up and was extremely tired.

  Mo Han stopped and turned back to glance at her, before he suddenly carried her princess-style.

  Xia Qingyi exclaimed in surprise as she immediately wrapped her hands around Mo Han’s neck. She opened her eyes wide to see Mo Han’s still angry face.

  “What are you doing?!” Xia Qingyi asked.

  “Shut up.”


  “Put me down! I want to wear my shoes and walk by my own!” she kept kicking her legs in Mo Han’s arms.

  “Be more well-behaved.”


  Mo Han had placed Xia Qingyi on the front passenger seat in his car. Their surrounding was so quiet that they could only hear the wind on their way back. Her wrist that Mo Han had pulled on had turned red. She rubbed her wrist as she tried to recall what had happened.

  The atmosphere in the car was completely tense as the two were silent on the way back. Mo Han was angry while Xia Qingyi was afraid. She understood faintly that she had gotten herself into trouble last night and Mo Han would definitely scold her when they reached home.

  As expected, the moment the door had been closed after they had reached home, Mo Han spoke in a tone that had no temperature, “I’ll only give you two minutes to explain.”


  “I…… I…… don’t know……”


  “I don’t want to hear you saying such things.”


  “I’m sorry…… I really don’t know…… I can’t remember. I’d only gone out for a meal with Zhang Yang and his friends……”


  “Went out for a meal?! You ate until midnight and did not come back! Do you know what time it is now? 4 A.M. in the morning! You went out for a meal and ended up sleeping in the hotel with those unknown men! You’re really capable, Xia Qingyi. I’ve really underestimated you!”


  Mo Han inched toward her as he spoke. Xia Qingyi moved back in fear, only to find her back touching the door. She could not move any further.

  “I…… I didn’t mean to…… I think I drank alcohol……” Xia Qingyi looked at Mo Han who had been inching forward. The distance between them was less than 10 centimeters. She was extremely afraid, desperately wishing that she could hide in the door.

  Mo Han stared into her eyes. He grabbed her chin suddenly. “Haven’t I told you many times not to drink alcohol? To not drink any alcohol, not even a single drop. Did you treat my words as a joke?”


  Xia Qingyi looked at him as she trembled in fear. The Mo Han in front of her now did not seem like the person she knew at all. The Mo Han that she knew was a calm and introverted person, but the person that was holding onto her chin now was too invasive.

  His gaze was like that of a panther who was waiting for its prey without a sound, making others feel as though every second could be their last.

  “I’m sorry…… I admit my mistake. I won’t do it again.” Xia Qingyi was really afraid.

  Nevertheless, Mo Han did not let go. In fact, he placed his other hand on the back of Xia Qingyi’s head, forcefully pushing her towards herself until their noses touched. Xia Qingyi did not dare to look at Mo Han as her hands shook.

  Mo Han whispered softly in her ear as he lowered his head, “What did you do wrong?”


  “I…… won’t drink alcohol anymore…… I won’t even look at alcohol from now on……” Xia Qingyi trembled.

  Despite so, Mo Han did not back away as he pressed Xia Qingyi against the door. His hand rubbed her chin softly. “What did you all do in the room before I came?”
