Chapter 76 Let’s Eat a Bowl of Wontons
"Brother Xue Han, take a look at my new clothes. Do they look good?" Xu Yao shook the floral skirt in her hands, trying to break the solemn atmosphere with a relaxed tone.
But her slightly trembling hands revealed her inner anxiety.
Xue Han put down the account book in his hand, looked at Xu Yao tenderly, his eyes full of heartache: "It looks good, our Yaoyao looks good in anything." He stood up and walked to Xu Yao, gently stroking her hair, "Don't be afraid, Yaoyao, everything will be fine."
"Hmm..." Xu Yao tried hard to force a smile, but that smile was uglier than crying.
It was late at night, the cold wind was howling outside the window, and the atmosphere in the house became even more depressing.
The anonymous letter was like a thorn that pierced Xu Yao's heart and made her unable to find peace.
Although the content of the letter was brief, it was full of malice, and threats were revealed between the lines.
"Yaoyao, let's go home." Xue Han held Xu Yao's hand with a firm tone.
"Go home?" Xu Yao was stunned for a moment, "Go...to your home?"
"Yes." Xue Han nodded, "Come to my house, I will accompany you, then you won't be afraid."
Xu Yao hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
She knew that what she needed most now was a sense of security, and Xue Han was her greatest source of security.
The two gathered their things, locked the door, and walked into the night together.
The cold wind made Xu Yao shiver. Xue Han took off his coat, put it on her, and held her tightly in his arms.
When we arrived at Xue Han's house, it was warm as spring.
Xue Han first poured Xu Yao a cup of hot water to warm her up.
Xu Yao held the cup of hot water, feeling the warmth coming from the cup wall, and her heart gradually calmed down.
"Yaoyao, don't be afraid, I will always be by your side to protect you." Xue Han sat next to Xu Yao, hugged her in his arms, and comforted her softly.
"Brother Xue Han..." Xu Yao leaned in Xue Han's arms, feeling his warmth, and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Be good, don't cry, it's okay." Xue Han patted Xu Yao's back gently, coaxing her like a child.
Xu Yao cried for a while and her emotions gradually calmed down.
She raised her head and looked at Xue Han's resolute face, and her heart was filled with a sense of security.
"Brother Xue Han, who do you think sent this letter?" Xu Yao asked.
Xue Han shook his head: "I don't know, but no matter who it is, I won't let them succeed." His tone was firm and full of strength, "Yaoyao, just focus on your business, and leave the rest to me."
"Yeah." Xu Yao nodded.
The two snuggled together, quietly enjoying this moment of tranquility.
The cold wind was still howling outside the window, but the house was full of warmth and love.
"Brother Xue Han, let's go find the director of the street office tomorrow." Xu Yao suddenly said, "Maybe he can help us find out who sent the letter."
"Okay." Xue Han agreed without hesitation, "Let's go early tomorrow morning."
After the two of them discussed it, they felt a lot more at ease.
They believe that as long as they work together, they will be able to overcome the difficulties before them.
"Yaoyao, go to sleep." Xue Han gently patted Xu Yao's shoulder, "I'm here with you."
"Yeah." Xu Yao closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
Xue Han stayed by her side until dawn.
The next morning, the two went to the street office together.
The director of the street office is a conservative middle-aged man, but he is relatively fair.
After listening to the two people's stories, he said he would do his best to help with the investigation.
"Thank you, Director." Xu Yao said gratefully.
"It's our duty to maintain public order." The director of the subdistrict office nodded.
After leaving the neighborhood office, both of them felt a lot more relaxed.
They believe that the truth will soon come to light.
"Brother Xue Han, let's go have a bowl of wontons." Xu Yao suggested.
"Okay." Xue Han agreed with a smile.
The two walked hand in hand on the sunny street, feeling particularly happy.
But at this moment, a sneaky figure appeared behind them... "Brother Xue Han, look..."
Just as the two were immersed in the warmth of the sun and enjoying the rare tranquility, Xue Han's cell phone suddenly rang.
The voice seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet street, and Xu Yao subconsciously held Xue Han's hand tightly.
Xue Han answered the phone and his expression instantly became serious.
"Hello?" Xue Han's voice was a little tense.
A low and vague voice came from the other end of the phone: "Do you think this is the end?"
Xue Han's brows frowned instantly, and the hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
Xu Yao sensed his change and asked with concern: "Brother Xue Han, what's wrong?"
Xue Han hung up the phone, took a deep breath, held Xu Yao's hand tightly, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes: "Yaoyao, we have to be more careful."
