Her thoughts were gradually overwhelmed by this atmosphere, becoming chaotic.
Without realizing it, I found myself in the middle of the road, unaware that the traffic light had turned red, and a bright red luxury car sped towards me.
When she realized the car was getting closer and closer, her legs felt like they were made of lead, and she couldn't lift them even half a step.
Suddenly, my whole body was pulled by a powerful force, and I fell into a strange embrace as the world spun around me.
"call out--"
The luxury car sped past like an arrow, without stopping for a second.
Inside the car, the man wearing a black mask narrowed his eyes, his expression unreadable. However, his icy gaze alone was enough to send one tumbling into an ice cellar.
"You can't even handle something this simple, what use are you?"
The driver shivered, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and dared not utter a word in reply.
He clearly saw the pretty girl standing in the middle of the road, lost in thought, and was about to honk his horn to warn her. But she stopped him and told him to step on the gas and run her over!
Although he was reluctant, he couldn't afford to offend this person. He steeled himself and slammed on the gas. Just as they were about to collide, a man appeared and pulled her aside.
That was close! That was really close!
The man inside the luxury car closed his eyes and sighed calmly.
Philadelphia, I never thought I'd be able to come back in my lifetime.
Mu family, there are some things between us that need to be settled.
As Yi Yi survived the ordeal, her thoughts slowly drifted back.
Looking up, a handsome and dashing face appeared before me.
The man before me smiled slightly, revealing his pearly white teeth. His face was spotless, without a single blemish. His eyes, though small, shone brightly, appearing calm on the surface but harboring a turbulent, unfathomable depth.
Even compared to Mu Nanxun, her face is not inferior.
"You silly girl, don't you even watch where you're going?"
A man's voice drifted out, teasing yet indulgent. His handsome eyes remained unblinking, brimming with amusement.
Yi lowered her head, took two steps back, and said mischievously, "Thank you."
"It is my duty to protect my little beauty. Saying 'thank you' is too formal. Go home early, my little dazed one. It's not safe for you to be out alone."
“I know, I have a name, Yi Yi. I’m not called Little Confused.”
Yi Yi pouted defiantly; she wasn't confused at all!
"I know, you silly girl. We'll meet again."
The man chuckled softly, his smile like a gentle spring breeze. She was about to retort when she saw him turn and slowly walk away.
Another weirdo.
Yi Yi withdrew her gaze, composed herself, and carefully crossed the pedestrian crossing.
...
At the Mu Family Maple Waterfront, Mu Nanxun, having settled Xia Bingqing in, stood in the courtyard watching the approaching man, his face ashen.
"Young Master Xiao, did you miss me? I came straight here to see you as soon as I got off the plane! Surprised? Unexpected, right?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Nanxun tightly closed her thin lips, her icy eyes almost freezing the man in front of her into a block of ice.
"Hey, hey, hey, this is such a weird way to welcome me. It's freezing cold. No wonder I'm still a bachelor after all these years."
The man chuckled and crossed his legs, lounging on a bench in the courtyard, completely ignoring Mu Nanxun's murderous glare.
An old bachelor? Hmph, he won't be for long!
