Xia Chao was furious at the sight of his daughter, but there was nothing he could do about it; he still had to spoil her.

Feng Guang sometimes felt that she shouldn't rush things when it came to getting closer to Duan Mu. For example, she didn't go to see Duan Mu today. Instead, she waited until the day she had arranged to have dinner with him before going out to see him.

She arranged to meet him in the evening. Duan Mu was a well-known figure, and the darkness of the night would help him avoid being recognized in his casual attire. Tonight, Feng Guang had also booked the entire restaurant, so the usually bustling entrance was quite deserted. Standing on the street in front of the restaurant, she saw a man wearing glasses get out of a car and immediately walked over happily, saying, "You've arrived."

To avoid being recognized, he not only wore glasses but also a black suit. An ordinary person would only think he was a typical social elite at first glance, but she recognized him immediately.

Duan Mu asked, "Why didn't you wait for me in the restaurant?"

"I can wait for you here, it's the same." She found his attire quite amusing, so she didn't tell him that she had actually booked all the nearby hotels and restaurants, and that she had people all around her, so she would never let a reporter sneak in.

He laughed and said, "It's windy outside, be careful not to catch a cold."

Although it's summer, the wind was a bit chilly tonight, and she was wearing a skirt.

"Okay, I'll wait for you inside next time." She smiled sweetly. "Anyway, I'll listen to whatever you say."

"Miss Xia."

"What?"

He laughed, "Will you listen to everything I say?"

“Yes.” She nodded, then shook her head. “But if you asked me to kill someone, I definitely wouldn’t dare.”

"Miss Xia seems to be afraid of the dark?"

"...How did you know?"

“When you stayed at my apartment that day, I knew you got up in the middle of the night and turned on the light before going back to sleep.”

Feng Guang was surprised. "You know that too?"

"It was just that I got up in the middle of the night to get some water and saw the light coming from the room." He said with a laugh, "Since Miss Xia says you'll listen to whatever I say, why don't you..."

He suddenly took her hand and led her to the sidewalk on the road. There was a broken streetlight there, so the area was somewhat dark.

Before Feng Guang could recover from the joy of having his hand held, she heard him say, "Miss Xia, how about standing here for five minutes?"

She paused, glancing at her surroundings. Because of her booking the entire place, the area was much quieter, with few pedestrians and vehicles. Words spoken are like water spilled; she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay."

He was slightly surprised that she would actually agree. Since she had agreed, he could only smile and say, "Then I'll wait for Miss Xia over there. Miss Xia, remember, you have to stay here for five minutes and you can't move an inch."

“I know.” Her expression was firm.

Duan Mu stepped back to the side of the road. He stood on the street, looking at a girl standing alone. The slight smile on his lips remained unchanged. He knew that human fear was not so easy to overcome. Just as he was afraid of thunder, she was afraid of the dark.

Three minutes seemed to have passed until a car broke the silence.

Duan Mu had good eyesight, and he could clearly see that the driver of the oncoming car was drunk; otherwise, the car wouldn't have been able to see someone on the sidewalk without slowing down or turning.

He didn't say anything and looked at Feng Guang. Feng Guang seemed to have seen the car too, because she was clutching the hem of her skirt, clearly nervous. However, she didn't seem to intend to move an inch.

Duan Mu remained silent and motionless. He was waiting for her to make a move. She seemed to be waiting as well, but he didn't know what she was waiting for.

Finally, a hurried screech of brakes echoed through the night.

The drunk driver stuck his head out and yelled, "Standing on the road in the middle of the night, are you looking to get yourself killed?!"

No sooner had he said that than a dozen cars arrived and surrounded him. The black-clad bodyguards got out of the cars, grabbed the driver, and took him away without saying a word.

These people are, of course, members of the Xia family. They had just been told by Feng Guang on his phone not to come out, so they have been waiting until now.

Feng Guang was still in Duan Mu's arms. Duan Mu, who had just rushed out, grabbed her hand and pulled her over. Due to inertia, she bumped into his chest.

There was a moment of silence. In the darkness, the emotion in his eyes was hard to discern. "Why didn't you leave?"

“I told you I would listen to you.” A smile appeared on her slightly pale face. “Did I stand there for the full five minutes?”

He said, "No."

"Then...should I go stand there again?"

He suddenly sighed, "It's not necessary."

"Why?"

"Because... you're silly." Duan Mu finished speaking, then smiled helplessly. He grabbed her chin with his hand, lowered his head slightly, and kissed her lips without warning.
