"Why is Madam Xie here? What a rare guest! Please come in quickly!" The passion burning in Yan Suizhi's dark eyes almost melted the remaining winter snow.
Yesterday, Yan Suizhi had just returned to the mansion when Chen Zuo presented him with a letter. He opened it and read only a few lines before his expression changed.
"She actually got the news," he murmured.
Should he still stop her? He was hesitating on how to bring this up with her so it wouldn't seem awkward, but he didn't expect that Meimei would come to him on her own initiative.
"Lord Yan, I heard that Mobei suffered a snowstorm. I wonder when the traffic will be cleared?" Xie Wanyun tightly grasped the teacup that he personally handed over, as if he wanted to absorb some warmth from the cup.
"Why is Madam so concerned about this matter? Do you have any business dealings with Mobei?" Yan Suizhi knew that she was unwilling to say it directly, so he only asked indirectly.
"Yes, there are some goods..." Actually, there weren't any. But she was not good at lying, so she couldn't continue after saying this.
"Madam, do you have something to hide? If you trust me, would you please tell me?"
"I, I am looking for someone." Xie Wanyun said hesitantly, with two red clouds on his face.
Xie Wanyun always appears cold and arrogant, and it is rare to see her acting like a little girl.
Yan Suizhi suddenly recalled that dusk, a light snow, and a chilly air. Yet, her whole body was burning hot, and she fell softly and limply into his arms. His heart surged with emotion, the fire in his eyes burning even more intensely, and a blush crept across his pale cheeks.
Xie Wanyun was shocked to see him like this, and a sense of weakness inexplicably crept into her heart.
Yan Suizhi's voice became hoarse, and he whispered, "Mianmei."
Xie Wanyun's body trembled, but he did not quickly let him take it back as usual. Instead, he just held the teacup in his hand even tighter.
Yan Suizhi's throat tightened and he couldn't help but lean forward.
This scene seemed familiar. She had been drugged that day and was unconscious, but she still had some vague memories.
At that time, Yan Suizhi had always been by her side. Would she do something shameful? The more Xie Wanyun thought about it, the more anxious she felt.
She stood up suddenly and said, "Yan Da, sorry to bother you. I'll take my leave now."
"Meimei! Wait a minute, why are you avoiding me? You know I won't hurt you." Yan Suizhi grabbed her anxiously.
"Really?" Xie Wanyun cast her cold eyes on his hand, whose pale fingers were tightly gripping her wrist.
Yan Suizhi wasn't deterred by her indifference. Instead, he took a step forward and whispered, "Isn't that so? If not, why would you have asked me for help that day?"
Xie Wanyun's face and body were ablaze with fire, making her feel hot all over.
But she clearly hadn't been drugged today. So, it was Yan Suizhi who had caused her to lose her composure.
This person is too dangerous! Even if he has no ill intentions, she dare not get close to him. She must have been confused today, so she came to him on her own.
Her eyes turned cold, and she raised her hand to shake off his grip. "Lord Yan! Please don't do this! It was rude of me to come to your house today, please..."
The clear child's voice disrupted the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
"Aunt Xie! Aunt Xie! It's really you! Why are you in my house? Are you here to see me?" Little Jinbai jumped out, his big eyes full of surprise. He ran over while shouting and hugged Xie Wanyun.
"Thank you, Auntie! Jinbai hasn't seen you in a long time! I missed you so much!"
Xie Wanyun's cold heart was immediately melted by Jin Bai.
She pulled Jinbai into her arms and hugged her tightly, saying sincerely, "Jinbai, Aunt Xie misses you too."
Yes, she found a reason for herself. She came here today just to see Jin Bai.
Jin Bai pursed her lips. "Thank you, Auntie, for lying. If you missed me, why didn't you come to see me for so long? I've been to Hansong Garden several times, but I didn't see you!"
Jinbairen is a smart kid. Yesterday he was hiding behind his uncle and had already stretched his neck to see the letter.
But even though he read the letter, he didn't immediately understand what it meant. Fearing his uncle would find out and blame him, he tiptoed away quietly.
Today was the first time Aunt Xie had come in person, looking for someone. Jin Bai was precocious and understood everything.
