"Brother Xiao, it's me, Wanwan." Wanwan lifted her veil, and her familiar and delicate face immediately appeared in front of Shen Yuheng.

His eyes flickered, and he turned his head to the side. "I don't know you. If you don't leave, I'll have you tied up and taken to the yamen."

Oh dear! How can this person still refuse to admit it even after all this?

That woman isn't here either! Time is precious!

Wanwan got a little anxious, just like when she was a child, she stubbornly followed Chen Yuheng's averted gaze, chased after him, and brought her face close to his, "Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you? Don't you recognize Wanwan?"

Shen Yuheng's lips tightened, and he refused to look directly at Wanwan, stubbornly saying, "I've never known you before."

Wanwan was really angry. He refused to acknowledge his identity and pretended to be deaf and dumb, clearly not wanting her to get involved in his affairs.

"Fine." Wanwan put her hands on her hips, her cheeks puffed up with anger just like when she was three years old. "Fine, you won't admit it then. You want to pretend we've never met? Then I'll grant your wish!"

Wanwan was so angry that she shook her hands wildly and stomped her feet on the ground. In the blink of an eye, she reached the door. In the end, she turned back reluctantly, her voice trembling slightly, "Xiao Qi, I really won't come back after I leave this door."

The first time she called out her full name, the icy coldness in Shen Yuheng's eyes vanished instantly, a dry, painful sensation suddenly welled up in his throat, and a dense, aching feeling spread through his heart.

Why do I always try to stop her from getting close to me?

What if she really never comes back?

With a creak, the door opened; she was really leaving.

"Wanwan." Before his mind could even process it, his mouth had already uttered her name. His body, his instincts, were all telling him that he was resisting her leaving him.

Wanwan's dark eyes, already filled with a layer of heat, widened instantly. She turned to look at Chen Yuheng, her tears turning into a smile, "Brother Xiao?"

The long-unheard address made Xiao Qi's heart skip a beat again.

She turned back, just like when she was a child, and reverently took one of Xiao Qi's hands, enclosing his large hand in her small hands.

A warm current flowed out, and Xiao Qi looked up at her, his eyes no longer able to hold any coldness, but uncontrollably revealing tenderness.

Their gazes met.

"You must be Brother Xiao, right?" A layer of mist clouded Wanwan's eyes, glistening in the lamplight. Xiao Qi could almost see his own face reflected in her eyes.

“Brother Xiao, please don’t send me away. Wanwan can take revenge with you and stay with you forever.”

Her long eyelashes and eyes were wet, and there was a strange light in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Qi, which went beyond friendship. Xiao Qi was unaware that he had the same look in his eyes.

However, a name was not enough to prove his identity. When he heard Wanwan say that she wanted to stay, Xiao Qi's eyes darkened suddenly, and he decided to deny it to the end.

What is he thinking?

This was his own deep-seated hatred; how could he drag her into it? How could he protect her under such circumstances?

"I don't know what you're talking about," Xiao Qi said with difficulty.

"Are you still going to kick me out?" Wanwan's hands immediately went cold.

Xiao Qi deliberately avoided her eyes, pulled his hand away from hers, and spoke again with his usual coldness, "Go back, and don't come looking for me to acknowledge our relationship again. I'll pretend that what happened today never happened."

"Why? You are clearly Xiao Qi." Wanwan swayed in front of him again, but this time she failed.

She pressed him for a long time, but Xiao Qi remained silent, a silence that chilled Wanwan to the bone.

Finally, she gave up. Staying there was never safe, and unable to get any answers, Wanwan could only leave the Shen residence under the cover of night.

Unbeknownst to her, no sooner had she left than Xiao Qi, worried, followed her out...

The sight of the two figures walking one after the other caught Chu Ying's attention, and she immediately followed them.

She thought Xiao Chenyuheng would catch up with Baili Wanwan and say something so she could get some information, but she didn't expect that Chenyuheng would chase after her all the way and just sit on Baili Wanwan's roof all night.

The moonlight spilled over, scattering like shards of silver onto Shen Yuheng.

Dressed in white, Chen Yuheng sat quietly on the rooftop, surrounded by a halo of pure white light, like a fairy descending from the moon. His slender figure cast a cold shadow on the roof, causing even Chu Ying, who was his informant, to tremble in her heart.

This crazy little girl named Baili Wanwan is actually quite capable.

Hiding in the shadows, she clenched her fists, a surge of jealousy rising within her, making her throat feel sore and burning. Her knuckles turned white from clenching her fists, and her nails almost dug into her skin.

Who exactly is this little madwoman that made Shen Yuheng willing to come over in the middle of the night and stay on her rooftop for so long with a worried expression?

Chu Ying was unconvinced and unwilling to accept it; she was not one to be trifled with.

She wanted to teach this mysterious little madman a lesson.

So she went to the local bully that very night, gave him some silver, and instructed him to find a way to get Wanwan into her possession.

The bully was brainless. The next day, he seized the opportunity when Wanwan went out alone and chased after her, eventually blocking her way in a dead end.

He still remembered that his mission was to win Wanwan over, so he rolled up his sleeves and said in a greasy tone, "Miss Wanwan, I have long been in love with you. Please give me another chance."

Wanwan was startled by the burly man who suddenly rushed out, and hearing such disgusting words, she simply used the words Chu Ying had used to humiliate her yesterday, saying bluntly: "A toad trying to eat swan meat, doesn't he even know what kind of person he is?"

Her voice was soft and sweet, and her scolding lacked harshness. The bully became even more excited upon hearing this, "Oh, she's quite the little firecracker, I like her."

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves even higher, revealing two fat arms, and pounced on Wanwan with open arms, like a vicious dog.

She dodged with the agility of a fish, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared not far behind him.

The bully paused for a moment, then wiped his drool with his hand, a lewd grin on his face. "Little lady, you're so capable and love to play. I'll play with you properly."

Before he finished speaking, he rushed forward again.

Wanwan immediately shifted her weight to her toes, got into a fighting stance, and prepared to knock him unconscious with a punch. However, her gaze passed over the bully's shoulder, and she saw Chen Yuheng walking towards her.

A mischievous idea immediately popped into Wanwan's mind.

When the bully rushed in front of her, she deliberately didn't dodge completely, and fell to the ground with a cry of "Ouch!"

Seeing this, the bully was overjoyed and reached out to grab Wanwan's arm. Wanwan pretended to shout, "Help! They're kidnapping me! The bully is kidnapping me!"

The bully panicked and quickly reached out to cover Wanwan's mouth, yelling, "Shut up! Do you believe I'll beat you to death?!"
