章節 42: Once Again Stepping Into Li Family’s Mansion
編輯: EndlessFantasy Translation
The owner of Li family's mansion had not returned in ten years, but everything in the mansion had been well-maintained.
Li family's mansion was just next to Qiao family's mansion, but Qiao Mu had never entered Li family's mansion within these ten years.
Qiao Mu looked at the mansion compound from the car, and every part of the mansion seemed so familiar to her. This mansion was once her happy place.
"Get out." Li Yan interrupted Qiao Mu's train of thought.
Qiao Mu was puzzled as she raised her head, "Uncle, why do you bring me to your house? If the neighbors see us, they will misunderstand! Indecent thoughts will be the first thing they'll come up with!"
"When are we not doing something indecent?" Li Yan's tone of voice sounded matter-of-factly.
Qiao Mu was left speechless.
Alright, there was indeed something indecent going on between them!
Although the Li family and Qiao family were neighbors, their mansions were enclosed so no one could see anything in the mansions from the outside.
But Qiao Mu still had lingering fears. After she got out of the car, she sneakily dashed into the mansion without waiting for Li Yan.
Li Yan could not help but smile. He really could not do anything to this little thing.
Qiao Mu finally let out a breath of relief after she entered the mansion. She rested her body against the glass door as she looked out from the inside. She watched as Li Yan walked over with steady steps. The slight twinkle in his eyes appeared as if he was mocking her mouselike timidity.
He was blatantly laughing at her!
"Second Young Mistress Qiao?" Someone suddenly called out to her.
Qiao Mu turned around abruptly and saw a man in his fifties or sixties was smiling at her.
"Are you… Uncle Chen?" Uncle Chen was the butler of the Li family. Qiao Mu had met him when she was younger.
The butler nodded, "Second Young Mistress Qiao, I knew it's really you. Our young master had returned from overseas, so Second Young Mistress Qiao would definitely come over to pester the young master so he would play with you. You're exactly like this when you're younger."
Qiao Mu's expression was somewhat unnatural. Pestered Li Yan? He was obviously willing to play with her, alright?
At that moment, Li Yan entered the mansion and glanced indifferently at the butler, "Uncle Chen, ask the kitchen staff to prepare our dinner."
The butler answered yes and then went to the kitchen.
Qiao Mu was a lot more relaxed after she entered the compound and wandered around in the huge living room. The Li family's mansion was a lot bigger than the Qiao family's mansion. Although the huge house felt somewhat empty, she still felt more comfortable than she was in the Qiao family's mansion.
Qiao Mu went up to the second floor and stopped before Li Yan's bedroom before she pushed the door open to enter the room.
All of the bedroom's furnishings were in black and blue without any hint of warmth, and it gave off the same cold and indifferent vibes as Li Yan.
Qiao Mu looked out from the balcony and she could see her bedroom in the Qiao family's mansion. When she was younger, she would always observe him from her bedroom. There was once when she happened to see him changing, and she called him happily to praise him, "Big brother, you have an amazing figure!"
Ever since then, Li Yan would draw the curtains when he returned to his bedroom, and she no longer successfully peeped into his bedroom again.
She actually had so many memories just within the short period of three years.
But Li Yan's return this time would cause her a series of obstacles. She was barely coping with Yu Tingyun and her daughter, and she would definitely be pressured if Li Yan chose their side.
Qiao Mu was lost in her thoughts so she did not hear the footsteps behind her. When she came back to her senses, an arm wrapped around her waist before she could turn around. Her body immediately fell into a strong embrace.
Her heart started to beat faster when she smelled the familiar mint.
A low yet hoarse voice started speaking above her head, "Little thing, what shameful thoughts are you having in my bedroom?"
Qiao Mu turned around and grinned, "I'm thinking whether you would help others bully me?"
