His voice wasn't loud, but it was incredibly intimidating.
Jiang Ye suddenly trembled, clearly frightened, yet still stubbornly insisted, "I...I didn't."
Xu Muyao stared at her without saying a word, his cold and dignified gaze seemingly able to see into the deepest secrets of her heart.
Jiang felt uncomfortable under his gaze, her face flushed red, and she stammered, "I... I do know about your past. You were a narcotics officer who was seriously injured after returning from an undercover operation and had to leave the police force. I guess that experience must have left you traumatized. But I really didn't mean any harm, I just wanted to help you."
"Who told you all this?" His voice was solemn, without a trace of emotion.
Jiang also shrank her neck, looking aggrieved, as if she wanted to say something but dared not.
She had originally planned to take things slowly and patiently to win him over, but now it seems that won't work. He's too wary, so she has to go all out!
"You investigated my personal information without my permission. I can easily send you to the police station! You can try me if you don't believe me."
It was a very ordinary tone, but the way he said it was incredibly frightening.
No, is he serious?
Jiang also showed a hint of panic on his face and hurriedly explained, "Brother Xu, please don't be angry, my uncle told me..."
"name!"
"Ye Fusheng".
"Director Ye is your uncle?" Xu Muyao was slightly taken aback, and the anger in his eyes turned into doubt.
Jiang nodded emphatically, "My own uncle, and..."
Xu Muyao: "And what?"
Jiang took a deep breath and mustered her courage to look him in the eye. "Besides, I already knew about those things about you when I was in junior high school. My uncle only told me the location of your teahouse... I had to beg him for a long time before he told me." Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.
“We met a long time ago, you just don’t remember.”
Have we met a long time ago?
them?
Xu Muyao stared hesitantly at her face, as if trying to see right through her, as memories of the past surged through him...
Inside the police station, a little girl with two braids was doing her homework on the chief's desk. When she saw him knock on the door and come in, she immediately flashed a bright smile.
"Brother, are you looking for my uncle? He just went out."
Looking at the soft and cute little girl in front of him, Xu Muyao felt a surge of tenderness and couldn't help but step forward and pat her head. "What's your name?"
The little girl blinked her bright, star-like eyes. "My name is Jiang Ye. What's your name, brother?"
After a moment of silence, Xu Muyao slowly said, "My name is Wuming."
That year, she was 8 years old, and he was 23.
Lost in thought, a fair arm waved in front of his eyes, pulling him back to reality.
"Brother Xu, do you remember me?"
The pretty baby face in front of me overlapped with the face of the little girl with two braids, and looking at it this way, it really did grow up proportionally.
"I remember now, you've grown up."
Xu Muyao smiled slightly, his eyes softening as he picked up his chopsticks again and said calmly, "I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need it."
Jiang waved her hand without hesitation, "It's okay, I was just saying. I'm already very happy to have found you..."
She spoke her last sentence very softly, as if afraid of disturbing the peaceful atmosphere.
But no matter how softly she spoke, Xu Muyao still heard her.
His hand paused slightly as he picked up the food, causing the shrimp he had picked up to fall back into the plate.
Jiang saw this as an opportunity and quickly picked up some shrimp and put them into his bowl.
"Brother Xu, please eat more vegetables."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Faced with this kid who was 15 years younger than him, Xu Muyao was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.
His expression suddenly turned serious. "Go home as soon as you finish eating. Don't wander around outside alone at night."
Jiang nodded obediently.
After dinner, Xu Muyao was about to drive her home when he suddenly received a phone call.
"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."
After hanging up the phone, he turned to Jiang Ye and asked, "Where do you live? I'll take you home."
Director Ye has always treated him well, so naturally he has to take good care of his niece.
Jiang didn't want to go back so soon. She had finally found him and now she couldn't wait to learn everything about him and win him over.
Instead of answering, she asked, "Where are you going later?"
"Going out for drinks with friends."
"Take me with you, it's still early, going home is too boring." Jiang also looked at him with starry eyes.
Xu Muyao: "..."
"You can rest assured, I can chat with anyone and I will never let the atmosphere become awkward."
Xu Muyao frowned. "I'll feel awkward."
The air fell silent once again.
Fortunately, Jiang is thick-skinned and can automatically ignore such a direct rejection.
Xu Muyao: "Go home. I can help you with other things, but not this."
Jiang Ye's dark eyes darted around, and a smile appeared on his lips. "Well, I have a favor to ask of you, my savior."
Xu Muyao's brow twitched; he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
"What kind of help?"
“My parents are not home; they're abroad on business. I'm so scared to be home alone. Please take me with you. My uncle will be home soon after you're done.”
Jiang paused slightly, clasped her hands together under her chin, her eyes sparkling, "So, Brother Xu, please help me. Good deeds will be rewarded."
Someone come and tell him how to refuse? There's no way to refuse.
