On their wedding night, she attempted to flee. The entire city was on high alert, and he cornered her in the bridal suite.
"No, don't come any closer, there's a difference between...
Yi Yi quickly rolled up her sleeves and wiped her mouth. "Liar, I wasn't drooling!"
Wait a minute, that voice... it sounds so familiar.
Yi Yi then raised her head and looked at the person who had just finished speaking. Standing in front of her was Mu Nanxun, who was smiling slightly at her under the warm streetlights, his eyes slightly upturned...
How did he know she was here! Didn't he not trust her? Weren't he embracing Xia Bingqing intimately? Shouldn't they be having a close dinner right now? Why did he bring her favorite pancakes to find her!
Yi Yi was furious. She stood up abruptly from the steps, puffed out her cheeks, and after a long pause, finally couldn't help but retort, "I won't eat it! I won't eat anything you give me!"
After saying that, he walked past Mu Nanxun without looking back.
She had only taken two steps when Mu Nanxun pulled her back with a large hand. Her small body bumped into his strong arms, and her nose was filled with his faint scent.
Yi Yi didn't know what Mu Nanxun smelled like. It wasn't the scent of perfume, nor was it the smell of sweat that other humans had. She especially liked this smell; it made her feel at ease and gave her a feeling she had never had before.
This wasn't the first time Yi Yi had bumped into Mu Nanxun's arms, but she still couldn't help but blush. Then Yi Yi remembered that not long ago, Mu Nanxun had held Xia Bingqing in the same way, and Xia Bingqing had shared his scent. A sudden tightness gripped her chest, as if something was blocking her throat.
"Mu Nanxun, let me go! You must have mistaken me for someone else. I am Yi Yi, not Xia Bingqing!"
To be honest, I felt both wronged and angry. Xia Bingqing was clearly lying, so why was he so biased towards her? Even after she was injured and went to Chen Dudu's house to heal, he still went there and said those nasty things!
“My eyesight is perfectly fine, of course I know you are Yi Yi. Besides, even if I were blind, I wouldn’t be unable to tell who is who.”
Mu Nanxun felt that Yi Yi's words were an insult to him.
"If you can tell I'm Yi Yi, why are you still being ambiguous with me? You two-timing scumbag!"
He was hugging Xia Bingqing one minute, and the next minute he came to her and started pulling and tugging at her. What else could he be but a scumbag?
Upon hearing this, Mu Nanxun frowned. Under the soft streetlights, a hint of restraint could be seen in his expression. "This isn't ambiguous between us. I openly and honestly like you and want to be with you."
Yiyi: "..."
Mu Nanxun's shamelessness and audacity in declaring his liking for her and his desire to be with her left Yi Yi somewhat bewildered.
I like...being together...
The simple words sounded so pleasant to the ear, making her heart flutter and her ears burn even hotter.
Is this what humans call a confession? The "I like you" Mu Nanxun said, that's probably what she understands it to mean. When he said he wanted to be with her, he meant he wanted to be with her.
What should she do? She felt her heart beating faster and faster, as if it were about to jump out of her chest. The bustling crowds on the street and the delicious aromas wafting everywhere seemed to have vanished.
At this moment, all Yi Yi could see were Mu Nanxun's dark eyes, which shone brightly even in the darkness of the night; all she could hear was her own increasingly rapid heartbeat.
