When Little Candy mentioned Papa, a trace of sadness flashed past her black grape-like eyes.

  Lan Yue suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

  His well-defined hand patted the young girl’s head lightly. “You have a good mother.”


  Judging from the young girl’s clothes, personality, and the furnishing of the house, the young girl’s mother must have loved her very much.

  At the mention of Mommy, Little Candy’s eyes curved into crescents again.

  “Yes, yes. My Mommy loves me very much. Besides, my Mommy is a beauty. Every Uncle who sees my Mommy thinks she’s beautiful.”


  Little Candy seemed to have thought of something and looked up at Lan Yue with bright eyes. “Handsome Uncle, are you married? If you’re not, do you want to see my Mommy’s photo…”


  Hearing Little Candy’s words, Auntie Zhang hurriedly shot a look at the young girl. In the past few years, there had been many men pursuing Tang Wu, but she was focused on Little Candy and her career and had no intention of finding a man.

  Auntie Zhang wanted to introduce a partner to Tang Wu before, but Tang Wu rejected her with a few words and asked her not to mention a partner again.

  “Sir, I’m sorry. Our Little Candy is talking nonsense. Her mother is busy with work every day and has no time to fall in love.”


  Lan Yue nodded at Auntie Zhang, then looked at the young girl and touched her head. “Uncle has a fiancée.”


  Little Candy pouted and hummed in disappointment.

  Lan Yue did not stay long at Little Candy’s house.

  When she took the elevator downstairs, she unconsciously pressed the button for the floor of Tang Wu’s apartment.

  UT

  The elevator door opened and he walked out.

  Standing at the door of the apartment, he entered the previous password.

  To his surprise, the door opened.

  Walking into the apartment, Lan Yue was surprised to find that the interior was the same as before.

  The floor was neat and clean, as if someone often came to clean it.

  Lan Yue’s heart skipped a beat.

  Would she come here again?

  When Tang Wu returned home from the company, it was already eight in the evening.

  Hearing the sound of the door opening, Little Candy, who was playing with toys in the living room, ran toward her.

  “Mommy.”


  Tang Wu changed into her slippers and hugged Little Candy. “Did something happy happen today?”


  Little Candy hugged Tang Wu’s neck and said softly, “I met a super handsome Uncle today…” Then, she seemed to have thought of something and a trace of disappointment appeared on her face.” Unfortunately, Handsome Uncle said that he has a fiancée. Otherwise, I would introduce her to Mommy.”


  The corners of Tang Wu’s lips twitched. She bent her index finger and scratched the bridge of Little Candy’s nose. “You want to be Mommy’s matchmaker at such a young age? Fortunately, Uncle doesn’t mind. Otherwise, he would think that your Mommy is an old witch that no one wants!”


  Little Candy pouted. “I’m not an old witch. My Mommy is the prettiest Mommy in the world.”


  Tang Wu smiled and looked at Little Candy lovingly. “Don’t worry about Mommy. However, don’t bring a strange uncle home next time, okay?” Little Candy said, “But that handsome Uncle is not a bad person…”


  Seeing Tang Wu slowly narrowing her eyes, Little Candy lowered her head. “Alright, I can only bring strangers home with Mommy’s permission next time.”


  Although Tang Wu doted on Little Candy usually, she would be strict when it was time to be. Little Candy was still very afraid of her angry mother.

  At night.

  After Little Candy fell asleep, Tang Wu asked Auntie Zhang about Little Candy bringing her home.

  “I think that man is not bad. He doesn’t look like a bad person.”


  Auntie Zhang was quite accurate with people. With her words, Tang Wu was relieved.

  Tang Wu took a bath and went to the study to work. In the middle of the night, it started to rain.

  Tang Wu remembered that the window of the apartment downstairs was still open. She hurriedly got up and took the elevator downstairs.

  Opening the apartment door, Tang Wu smelled the faint smell of tobacco.

  She froze, thinking that there was something wrong with her nose.

  She took a few steps forward and looked at the living room.

  In the dark space, a trace of redness flickered. There seemed to be someone sitting on the sofa in the living room.

  Tang Wu’s heart beat faster. Was there a thief? Tang Wu quickly took out a stick from the shoe cabinet and walked toward the living room.

  With her skills, it was more than enough to deal with a thief.

  Tang Wu was very familiar with this apartment. She did not need to turn on the lights to reach the living room quickly.

  Walking to the sofa, she swung her rod at the dark figure.

  But soon, the stick was intercepted.

  Tang Wu’s voice turned cold. “Where did this thief come from? How dare he?”


  Tang Wu wanted to take back the stick, but that person was very strong. Tang Wu raised her leg and kicked that person. She knew karate and ordinary people were not her match.

  However, she had underestimated the skills of the man on the sofa. The moment she stretched her leg out, the man grabbed it with his other hand. The hand holding the stick hit her knee and Tang Wu gasped in pain.

  Her body fell backwards uncontrollably. However, very quickly, a hand reached towards her waist and pulled her into someone’s arms.

  Tang Wu’s heart thumped, thinking that she had met an expert.

  She was thinking about how to escape when she was thrown onto the sofa.

  The man’s tall body leaned over her domineeringly.

  “Where did this maniac come from…”


  Before she could finish, Tang Wu furrowed her eyebrows when she smelled the faint cigarette smell on the man.

  She had smelled such a scent in Milan before.

  The moment she froze, the man leaned down, his slightly cold lips pressed against her ear as he said softly, “It’s me.”


  Tang Wu froze.

  She reacted and pushed him away. He grabbed her hand and kissed her, starting from her cheek.

  The more Tang Wu resisted, the tighter he grabbed her hand and kissed her harder.

  The living room was rather quiet. For a moment, they could only hear the sound of the rain outside and their breathing.

  Until he noticed the tears in her eyes.

  In the darkness, he could not see her face clearly, but his gaze was locked on her. “You cried?”


  She said nothing.

  When they were at their worst, she had never cried in front of him.

  But now, she was crying.

  Lan Yue chuckled and stood up from the sofa.

  He turned on the lights in the living room.

  Tang Wu had already sat up on the sofa with her back facing him. He could not see her face clearly. He pursed his lips tightly and turned around sharply. After a few steps, he turned back to look at her feet.

  An image appeared in her mind.

  Within a few seconds, Tang Wu heard the door close.

  Taking a deep breath, she went to the bedroom to close the window and took the elevator upstairs.

  She stood at the entrance of the duplex building and was about to enter the password when she suddenly realized that something was wrong. She turned back and saw the young man who had appeared in the corridor.

  Tang Wu’s pupils constricted slightly.
