Chapter 8, Whispers of the Heart

Jiang Yuanyao scoffed, "Fool! Among ants, only the queen ant is the fertile female; the majority of other ants are underdeveloped, and only a small number of male ants, as you referred to them, can mate with the queen ant"

Jiang Yuanyao exerted force and pressed her down onto the sofa, with more than half of his body tightly pressed against hers. His tongue advanced straight in, kissing her to the point where she was utterly defenseless.

Xu Jingmo brought her a bottle of wine: "Feng Hanshui and Shen Jiani." She turned to hold Tan Qing's hand, laughing self-deprecatingly, "Do you think I am utterly foolish? At the wedding, you repeatedly advised me against it, but I didn't listen and insisted on marrying that scoundrel. Now, I couldn't catch him cheating, and instead, I ended up getting beaten up, my face all bruised..." She tilted her head back and took a big gulp of wine, tears immediately choking her, "I thought that by following my family's arrangement to marry into the Feng family, I would be able to control two companies, shape my future, and live a better life than others. But now it seems, not only do I lack that capability, but I also lack the fortune!" She lowered her head and murmured, her tears smudging her exquisite eye makeup into a mess, "What kind of strong woman am I! I have even lost the one I love, what hope is there left in this life! What happiness can there be!" As she spoke, sorrow overwhelmed her, and the usually proud woman began to sob uncontrollably. Tears smudged her exquisite eye makeup into a mess, "What kind of strong woman am I! I have even lost the one I love, what hope is there left in this life! What happiness can there be!" As she spoke, sorrow overwhelmed her, and the usually proud woman began to sob uncontrollably.

She recalled something and asked Lu Ai, "By the way, do you know if there is a St. Mary’s Church here?"

Only then did he truly feel hungry. He lowered his head to pick up the noodles and ate for a while before realizing that there were two poached eggs lying underneath. He turned to look at her, and the woman beside him wore a gentle smile: "Is it delicious?"

Of course. Do you practice a religion? asked Lu Ai

On the afternoon of the second day, when the participants of this Athens inspection trip gathered at the airport and were about to board the flight, Lu Aigang was about to announce that General Jiang was unable to attend due to a last-minute matter, when a tall and handsome man appeared gracefully in the sight of the crowd, dragging a wheeled suitcase.

He stood by the sofa, laughing charmingly, picked up his phone and keys, and glanced at her sideways: "Do you really want me to leave?"

Tan Qing walked over and gently placed her hand on her shoulder, "Mo Mo?"

Tan Qing hurriedly covered the microphone and glanced awkwardly at Xu Jingmo. Xu Jingmo turned his head to drink, seemingly not having heard anything.

Jiang Yuanyao furrowed her brows slightly and lowered her gaze, saying: "I am innocent"

"You... you are here?" she said with a lisp: "Jiang Yuanyao, Mo Mo is in a bad mood, please try to persuade her!"

At least he was not kidnapped, he sighed in relief, returned to the car, and drove towards Tan Qing's home while searching along the way

Jiang Yuanyao arranged for the car, ensuring that Xu Jingmo returned home safely and without worry. He recalled that there was still a drunkard lying in his car. He turned back to the car, and upon pulling the door, he was stunned: there was no one inside the car. Where was Tan Qing?

Tan Qing gasped in surprise, wanting to laugh at him. She grabbed Lu Ai and pushed her towards the door: "What kind of joke is this? Hurry up and take me to see the room!"

Seeing her distressed appearance, Lu Ai also stopped laughing and comforted her, saying: "I can see that General Jiang is genuinely interested in you. As for what happens in the future... why think so much? By cherishing the present, you will have a future."

As summer reaches its peak, the nights are filled with people strolling and enjoying the cool air on the streets. On the sidewalks, groups of girls are dressed in beautiful short skirts and hot pants, leaving a trail of laughter in their wake

Suddenly, the phone in her pocket vibrated and rang. With both hands occupied carrying items, she attempted to retrieve her phone, but the taxi that had originally stopped slipped away again.

Xu Jingmo raised her head, her delicate features marred by eyes that were red and swollen as if she had just been crying. One side of her face was notably swollen, clearly a result of having been slapped. The pearl earrings on her earlobes were reduced to just one, swaying precariously in the dim light

Tan Qing turned over and pushed him away: "Rogue! Dream on, eat your fill and leave quickly!"

Jiang Yuanyao remained silent for a moment before greeting.

In the bar, the pulsating music, the swaying bodies, and the dazzling, enchanting lighting create an atmosphere where no signs of fighting or brawling can be seen. Tan Qing made her way through the crowd and found Xu Jingmo at a table near the corner.

The two words, though light, weighed heavily on Tan Qing's heart. However, as if in disbelief, she deliberately pouted and said: "Then what about your Mo Mo? That night you..."

He searched around the nearby corner and flowerbed, worried that she might have collapsed in some corner after getting drunk, but found nothing... He asked the waiter at the bar entrance, who said that about twenty minutes ago, he seemed to have seen someone get out of his car, but he didn't pay attention to which direction they went.

Jiang Yuanyao believed that she must have been crying, perhaps she was saddened by him just now. However, what she said about calling Xu Jingmo's name in a dream was simply absurd; he had long since lost any feelings for her, so how could he possibly call her name?

As she stepped out, Lu Ai covered her mouth and laughed: "You do not cherish this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; if Zhao Yan were here, she would have made you regret it thoroughly."

He nodded slightly and went to pick up the two eggs, feeling a long-lost warmth. "I remember when I was a child, my mother liked to secretly hide two poached eggs at the bottom of my bowl"

Did you run away by yourself, or were you still kidnapped by someone

Yes, he has changed his mind again

As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt a twinge of regret. Tan Qing's face instantly froze, while Jiang Yuanyao's eyes sparkled with interest as he turned to Tan Qing, a sly smile on his lips: "I think this idea seems quite good."

She could not bring herself to speak, yet she was very frustrated. She pushed away the person in front of her, turned, and threw herself onto the sofa, burying her face in anger.

Lü Ai gently patted her face and said, "I will accompany you tomorrow"

Although she wore a smile on her face, her tone was terrifying. Jiang Yuanyao could not help but take two steps forward, "Jing Mo..."

He then withdrew his hand, gently pulling Tan Qing, who was sliding down, into his embrace, and spoke in a calm tone: "Then I will call a car to take you."

The water is ready, you can go wash up now. He reached out to pull Tan Qing from the sofa.

"Really?" He chuckled softly, pulling the koala-like woman up from his chest and gazing directly into her eyes. "Then why are you making a scene with alcohol?"

"Who did this?" she gritted her teeth in anger

He suddenly felt anxious and hurriedly took out his phone to call her, but the result was disappointing; it was a long busy tone followed by repeated messages of "The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable..."

Lü Ai blinked, glancing at Tan Qing and then at Jiang Yuan Yao: "Aren't you all living together?"

Tan Qing smiled and shook her head: "My mother is a Christian, and I would like to attend a service there once, as a way to honor her memory."

Well

How about this, what do you want to eat? I can go to your house and make it for you. Anyway, I can't sleep at this hour.

The passport and the plane tickets were placed on the coffee table in the living room, making it easy to grab them before heading out tomorrow. She glanced at the time, it was a quarter past nine, and he should still be awake, so she carefully dialed the phone.

After a while, he got up and walked out. Tan Qing heard him enter the bathroom

When Jiang Yuanyao left Tan Qing's house, it was already late at night, but he still returned to the company to retrieve the plane ticket and passport that he had originally left in the drawer

Tan Qing, feeling angry, stamped her foot. Looking at the incoming call, it was Xu Jingmo.

Tan Qing leaned softly against him—indeed, she was not strong-willed, coming to help others with their troubles, yet she herself had gotten drunk first. However, Xu Jingmo was different; her tolerance for alcohol was good, and the more she drank, the clearer her mind became, and the pain grew ever more vivid. She shook off Jiang Yuanyao's hand and glared at him in anger. He was still such a good man, with an elegant demeanor and an unparalleled appearance, and even in a simple home leisure outfit, he exuded the grace of a tall and handsome figure.

He struggled to calm his breath, his deep-sea-like eyes fixed on her like a magnet: "Is it possible?"

As Xu Jingmo took a few steps, he was suddenly startled by this statement and turned around sharply, his bright eyes fixed on the man across from him, expressing a mix of sorrow and joy as he said: "Yuan Yao... is it true?"

The Night Color Bar is not far from Tan Qing's home. She tossed her belongings at the community gatekeeper and headed straight for her destination

She buried her head in her arms, and her neatly styled high bun along with the well-tailored white Chanel suit were clearly out of place in this environment

"You heard wrong. I have never called her Mo Mo; even at our closest, I only call her Jing Mo." He appeared completely at ease. It was only then that Tan Qing felt relieved, but she immediately asked, "At your closest? How close?" Suddenly, she became agitated, her eyes fixed on him, "Is it... even closer than just now with me..."

Jiang Yuanyao raised his eyebrows helplessly, realizing that this girl was indeed quite difficult to please. He had no choice but to follow her, lowering his body to pull her into his embrace. His ambiguous voice, mixed with warm breath, made Tan Qing's ears tingle: "If you mind, why don't we do something... more intimate right now"

He is not like her, merely putting on a facade like a paper tiger. Since she has provoked him, she must obediently bear all the possible consequences that may follow

Qingqing ... ... '' He propped himself up, his exquisite features adorned with a faint blush, sweat trickling down from his forehead.

The destination of this journey is the picturesque island of Santorini, where we will be staying at a cliffside hotel. The island is adorned with buildings featuring blue domes and white walls, set against a backdrop of blue skies and the sea, creating a breathtaking beauty.

Before her words had finished, she suddenly leaped into his arms and unexpectedly kissed him on the lips, "Thank you, Yuan Yao"

Tan Qing crawled up from the seat, and in her dazed state, she happened to see Xu Jingmo kissing Jiang Yuanyao. She was momentarily stunned, then suddenly burst into laughter. As she laughed, tears began to fall onto the back of her hand, "Liar..."

She fixed her gaze on him and suddenly said, "I want that too," before lowering her head to kiss his lips

On the coffee table in front of her, a bowl of beautifully presented scallion egg noodles was emitting a tantalizing aroma

Lü Ai also changed into a casual outfit and walked up to Jiang Yuanyao, softly saying: "Mr. Jiang, the room is ready. Please go in and rest for a while"

Tan Qing wore a bright red dress, leaning against the railing at the hotel entrance, with a high cliff and boundless sky behind her, and the deep blue sea. She slightly tilted her head, her delicate face casting a perfect curve in the glow of the setting sun

He was taken aback and blurted out, "Isn't it too late?" After saying this, he felt a bit regretful; the girl didn't seem to care, yet he appeared to be overly concerned. Therefore, he quickly added, "Then I will come to pick you up."

What happened? I was just about to... " Tan Qing did not finish her sentence, as she was interrupted by Xu Jingmo, " I was attacked. Come to the Night Color Bar on Binjiang Road now, I will be waiting for you "

He looked at her helplessly and said, "Then what do you suggest we do? We have already kissed..."

Xu Jingmo bit her lip and said, "If you do not agree today, I fear I might be so ashamed that I would rush onto the road and die in front of you"

Tan Qing continued to gaze at the scenery, her lips constantly whispering "Oh my God." Her voice was filled with surprise and joy, brimming with excitement and emotion: "I now understand why my mother has been so eager to come to the Aegean Sea! If my father could be here, I believe he would understand my mother, and perhaps from this moment on, they would no longer have any conflicts..."

Tan Qing hit him with a cushion and said, "Let's go!"

The table is piled high with empty Corona bottles

From Jincheng to Hong Kong, and then transferring in Hong Kong to fly to Athens, along the way, Tan Qing's seat was always right next to Jiang Yuanyao. She was mindful that they were all colleagues from the company, yet he was indifferent to that, his words and actions showing no restraint, clearly proclaiming to the world that Tan Qing and he were a couple

Jiang Yuanyao emerged from a cold shower, the earlier excitement and fervor finally subsiding. He saw Tan Qing sitting neatly on the sofa, and as soon as she noticed him coming out, she quickly stood up: "I made you something to eat"

Jiang Yuanyao's voice was lazy and casual: "Didn’t you say ten minutes? When will I be able to have dinner?"

Tan Qing was at a loss for how to comfort her, so she could only hold her hand tightly, allowing her to vent for a while before speaking further

Alas, it turns out that once a man falls in love, even the most principled among them can become capricious and difficult to read. Enough of this, she cleared her throat twice to ease the awkwardness and called out to everyone: "Boarding now."

He stared intently at those figures, and before long, he saw a curled-up silhouette on the sidewalk near her home

"President Jiang, you ... ... " She glanced at her boss and then at Tan Qing, easily discerning everything from the exchanged glances between the two.

"What are you mumbling about?" He lowered his head, his long eyelashes covering the tenderness in his eyes. She tilted her face up to look at him, the distance between them very close, allowing her to catch the faint fragrance emanating from his collar. She felt somewhat entranced, as if drawn in by that special scent, and could not help but lean in, burying her face in his collar, secretly inhaling a few deep breaths.

A sour feeling surged in her heart, and Tan Qing suddenly felt a lump in her throat, murmuring: "If others can take advantage, why shouldn't I..."

She looked at Tan Qing and smiled faintly, saying, "Do you see me now? Am I not in a miserable state?"

Tan Qing began to whimper, saying: "Alright, I don't want it anymore..." She felt that she had already been satisfied, and if this continued, things would no longer be as enjoyable.

The woman in my arms shouted frantically: "You are the one who is drunk! Jiang Yuanyao, you are a coward, harboring feelings for her while playing coy with me! What exactly do you mean? Do you think we sisters are easy to bully, playing with emotions! Playing with... women!"

Tan Qing desperately pushed him, causing Jiang Yuan Yao's clothes to become wrinkled in a patch. "I am not talking nonsense. That night you had a fever, and I even heard you calling her name..."

He parked the car by the roadside, hurried over, and recognized that the girl wearing a tank top, shorts, and flip-flops, with disheveled hair, was indeed Tan Qing

Jiang Yuanyao tightly held her and said coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

The night was tranquil, and Jiang Yuan's heart became as soft as water. He knew that she felt awkward inside, and he couldn't help but reach out to embrace her, resting his chin on the top of her head, murmuring: "Are you trying to take advantage of me again by getting drunk?"

Jiang Yuanyao sighed, "Why do you have to go through this?"

Jiang Yuanyao let out a cold snort, and the temperature around him rose sharply. The palms of his hands felt as if they were on fire, continuously spreading warmth to the woman in his embrace. "You are fine, but I am not yet well"

Tan Qing gently grasped his fingers, leaned closer into his embrace, and softly said: "Jiang Yuan Yao?"

Jiang Yuanyao's face turned pale with anger, drawing the attention of everyone in the bar. His lips were tightly pressed, and with great effort, he lifted the drunken and disheveled Tan Qing out of the bar as if he were carrying a small chicken.

Tan Qing was slightly intoxicated, laughing softly to herself: "Are you asleep?"

Mind your own business first! He glanced at her with his head lowered, secretly feeling a headache. Whenever she got drunk, she would make a scene. Last time, she had dragged him to dance the tango, and this time it would be better to hurry and take her back.

At this moment, Tan Qing should have sobered up even if she was still drunk. Previously, she had been madly wanting to kiss someone under the influence of a little alcohol, but instead, she had stirred up someone's passion, leading to serious intentions, while she herself was left in a daze. Her mind was in a state of confusion, only thinking that she must not, must not. Even though she liked him and loved him, there were still many unresolved emotional knots, and she was completely unprepared.

Jiang Yuanyao coldly pulled a long face and said: "She has had too much to drink and is talking nonsense, do not take it to heart!" After saying this, she forcefully dragged Tan Qing and walked towards the door

The luxurious and comfortable sea-view room allows one to lie in bed and gaze at the sunset slowly descending on the distant horizon. Tan Qing gasped in amazement and hurriedly asked Lu Ai, "What about mine?"

Hello. The voice, consistently pleasant, is slightly hoarse due to the night, carrying the lingering resonance of fingers brushing over the strings.

Like a greedy child who has suddenly tasted delicious candy, she repeatedly entwined her lips with his. Jiang Yuanyao, being a man, felt a surge of emotions within as she passionately and actively entangled him. He took a deep breath, enduring the gentle probing of her delicate tongue between his lips and teeth, and suddenly tightened his arms, lowering his head and forcefully invading her.

Xu Jingmo's eyes were filled with tears, "I know. It's just... I'm unwilling to give up. I would rather believe that I still hold a small place in your heart."

She could see Tan Qing still leaning in his embrace, sound asleep, and her heart shattered into pieces. Turning her head away in a huff, she said, "It's none of your business!"

Qingqing, are you free? Come out and keep me company

No

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Yuanyao arrived, and the empty wine bottles in front of Tan Qing and Xu Jingmo had increased by a pile.

He shoved her into the car, but when he turned around, he saw Xu Jingmo. She stood quietly in front of him, her hair disheveled, her eyes red, and her figure appeared particularly frail in the night wind

Her clothing was already scant, and after this struggle, only her underwear remained. Tan Qing noticed that Jiang Yuanyao's face was flushed to the point of almost bleeding, so she hurriedly pulled a thin blanket to cover her chest and said softly, "No."

Tan Qing hung up the phone, yet felt an endless melancholy, secretly cursing herself for being cheap. She turned her head to snatch the bottle of wine from Xu Jingmo, "If you drink any more, you'll be drunk. What kind of image will you have when Jiang Yuanyao arrives later?"

Tan Qing remained silent, summoning the attendant to bring a towel and ice cubes, gently applying them to her face

Although Tan Qing's body was uncooperative, her brain and mouth were relentless: "Mo Mo is leaving, Jiang Yuan Yao, you should go after her! Why are you holding me? You, let go..." She pushed his hand away in a flurry, mumbling, "Don't you still have feelings for her? Why aren't you going after her..."

After he finished speaking, Tan Qing chuckled and gave him a look of disdain, saying, "What mating are you talking about? You are truly vulgar!"

"I told you not to interfere! Are you deaf and can't hear?" Xu Jingmo suddenly smashed the wine bottle, the sound of shattering and the angry shout startled Tan Qing, who finally opened her eyes, and saw Jiang Yuanyao displaying a silly smile.

Hmph. Tan Qing was very dissatisfied with his reaction, pushing his embrace away with both hands and attempting to walk out, only to be pulled back even more forcefully by him

Tan Qing suddenly turned her head, her gaze distant and dreamy, her flushed cheeks resembling full peach blossoms, brimming with intoxicating allure. Upon seeing the tall, handsome man behind her, with starry eyes and sword-like brows, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately burst into laughter: "I am watching ants move their home! Handsome guy, come look, these two ants are fighting! They must be rivals in love, competing for a beautiful male ant..."

Even if it is not so luxurious and spacious, as long as I can lie in bed and see the sea, that is enough

Hmm. The green light is on, and he gently starts the car

He strained to hold back, his entire body tense, yet his lips and tongue showed no sign of slowing down. The kiss wandered from his lips to Tan Qing's face, neck, and chest. Finally, he swept her up in his arms and strode into the bedroom, collapsing together onto the large princess-style bed.

She does not often go to bars, having only visited a few times with Xu Jingmo during her school years. Although the Night Color Bar is nearby, this is her first time coming here

She then slowly slid to answer, "Mo Mo."

Xu Jingmo chuckled: "Jiang Yuanyao? Isn't he your boyfriend now? What image would he still care about?"

Tansheng got out of bed, casually put on a sports tank top and denim shorts, and left the house with her wallet

Xu Jingmo observed the intimate demeanor of the two and let out a self-deprecating cold laugh. She stood up, and although her footing was unsteady, she made a concerted effort to maintain an elegant posture, resolutely refusing to resemble Tan Qing, who was draped over the man like a heap of mud.

Tan Qing lowered her face and glanced at the figure leaning against the railing, gazing at the sea behind her, murmuring: "So I am very afraid, first that he may not be sincere, and second that one day, I will still have to lose him..."

He frowned, glanced at the two girls whose faces were flushed from drinking, and with one hand grabbed one of them, issuing a simple command: "Go."

Everything that needed to be said has already been made clear! Jing Mo, we have already broken up, and you are now married!

Mo Mo, you shouldn't..." Tan Qing opened her mouth but didn't know how to respond, so she simply sighed, sat down, and reached for a bottle of beer to drink.

At that moment, her phone rang. Seeing the name Jiang Yuanyao, Tan Qing initially intended to hang up, but Xu Jingmo, who was beside her, stopped crying, glanced at the name on the screen, and softly said: "You should answer it"

"Do you... do you really like me? You should like me, right? But the words just won't come out. She tightly grasped his fingers, her ears turning red from the effort. Jiang Yuanyao understood most of it in her heart, gently pinching her cheek, then leaning his handsome face close to her ear, whispering: 'I like you.'

She squatted under a mimosa tree with a trunk as thick as a bowl, burying her head, resting her face on her hands, and remaining completely still

What are you doing here? he asked gently, his voice laced with an unconscious affection and tenderness

He stood still, like a young tree in the night, tall and majestic, yet taciturn and indifferent

I... she bit her lip, irritably pointed at his lips, and said in a somber tone, "I saw her kiss you"

Jiang Yuanyao could not help but chuckle to himself

Perhaps, I have truly fallen in love with her

"Far away." She called out softly.

Tan Qing's laughter was somewhat charmingly innocent, "It's nothing. You've finished work so late, haven't you eaten yet?"

Let's wait until he arrives to discuss this, and also see how much space each of his old love and new love occupies in his heart.

Jiang Yuanyao was on his way home. He was driving when he saw a call from Tan Qing. After a moment of hesitation, he pressed the answer button on the car phone

He was so infuriated by her that he didn't know what to say. Fed up with explaining things to a drunkard, he stepped forward and pulled her up: "Go home!"

Jiang Yuanyao set down her chopsticks and reached out to stroke the top of her head, "Fool."

She quietly returned home. He prepared hot water for her, intending to leave after she finished her bath and went to bed. Looking at her, it was clear that she was drunk, yet she seemed very alert, her gaze fixed on him in a dazed manner, which startled him

"I worked overtime for a while and I'm still not home. What's wrong?" As he spoke, he encountered a red light, pressed the brake, and waited quietly for her voice.

Tan Qing said softly, "Mo Mo has encountered some trouble." Gritting her teeth, she added, "We are at the Night Color Bar on Binjiang Road. How about you come over?"

He slowly curled the corners of his lips, "This is more like it"

Tan Qing thought for a moment and smiled, "Indeed! Why bother with so much? As long as I'm happy." In fact, she also harbored a small greed, wanting to possess him, even if just for this moment

Before going to bed that night, Tan Qing packed all the items she needed for her outing, including clothes, shoes, instant noodles, sanitary pads, and various other miscellaneous items, filling a large suitcase to the brim

Jiang Yuanyao was sitting diagonally on a white bench, gazing at the girl across from him in a daze. He felt as if his heart had never been so at ease before. Looking at her beautiful appearance before him, his heart felt like a soft piece of land slowly sinking, until it completely buried him.

She suddenly slipped into his embrace, burying her head firmly against his chest, her hands tightly gripping his waist, unwilling to let go

"No need, no need, you go back and take a shower and rest for a while, I will arrive in ten minutes." She hurriedly finished speaking and joyfully hung up the phone

Jiang Yuanyao immediately collapsed, turned over, and lay down beside him, remaining silent for a long time

The wind brushed past the hem of her skirt, Xu Jingmo wiped her eyes, striving to smile at him: "Although we cannot be lovers, can we be friends? Yuan Yao, I have never humbly requested anything from anyone like this before"

Tan Qing nodded slightly: "It seems that all mothers in the world are the same... I remember before I was nine..." She spoke half a sentence but then stopped, lowering her head, resting her chin on her knees, her tone sorrowful: "Since the day I lost my parents, there has been no one in this world who truly loves me anymore..."

Regrettably, it is useless to say anything now. She clenched her fist and turned to the distant sky and sea, saying: "Mom, I have come to the Aegean Sea that you loved on your behalf." Unbeknownst to her, tears had quietly slipped down the corners of her eyes. She gently wiped her eyes and murmured to herself, "When I get married, I will definitely come here for my honeymoon..."

"Were you just feeling jealous?" His voice flowed slowly like water, carrying a pleasant warmth, landing beside Tan Qing's ear, stirring a tingling sensation at the back of her ears

To cook, one must first buy ingredients. Looking at Jiang Yuanyao's refrigerator and kitchen, one might think he is not of this world. Tan Qing first went to a nearby supermarket to buy meat, eggs, vegetables, noodles, and other items, and then prepared to hail a taxi by the roadside

He thought she would resist and cling on again, but unexpectedly, when he reached out and pulled her, she obediently got up and walked forward, leaning against him. Her face was small, almost nestled under his armpit. Jiang Yuanyao embraced her gently and sighed, "Be good, don't make a fuss anymore"
