Chapter 470 - Xiao Liuliu's biological mother (4)

Atlas Studios

She squeezed his face again when she saw that he did not react at all.

When she realized that his skin felt very nice to the touch, she refused to concede defeat and started to squeeze her own face.

She was only fully satisfied after that and said, “Mine still feels softer…”

Just when she was done being cocky, she realized that the man who was reading his documents just a moment ago had now lowered his head and was admiring her narcissistic expression.

The corner of his mouth curved into an arc—it was a smile, yet at the same time, it wasn’t a smile.

He seemed to be studying her thick-skinned face…

Nian Xiaomu’s face turned red instantly. Turning around, she crashed into his chest and refused to look up no matter what.

As Yu Yuehan hugged her, he just felt that his heart had been filled up by a particular something.

The heart that had been empty for the past 20 plus years was now full.

He rubbed her head lovingly. When he heard

Chapter 471: Yu Yuehan, who did you buy the ring for? (1)

Atlas Studios

The pencil drawing was one of a teenage girl

who looked elegant and pretty in a traditional dress.

It was only a side profile but her beauty was so captivating that Nian Xiaomu could not take her eyes of her.

What truly alarmed her though, was the ring on the girl’s finger…

She had seen the same design of a scepter and the blood-red ruby yesterday. She couldn’t be wrong!

It was the Queen’s Ring.

The ring that the teenage girl was wearing was the Queen’s Ring!

If she were Xiao Liuliu’s mother, then Yu Yuehan had not bought the ring to propose to her…

Nian Xiaomu’s face turned pale.

Biting her lip, she willed herself to calm down.

She should not assume that Yu Yuehan had been using her as a substitute girlfriend based on one drawing.

It also did not mean that he had bought that ring because he could not forget Xiao Liuliu’s mother.

What was most important in a relationship was trust between the two people.

Nian Xiaomu suppressed the thoughts that were going wild in her mind and walked out of the room with the drawing in her hand.

She was going to ask him directly, and hear it from his own mouth!

When she reached the door, she saw Yu Yuehan talking on the phone.

His tall figure leaned against the wall as he tilted his head upward, resting the back of his head onto the wall,

one hand inside the pocket of his pants.

He was so devilishly handsome; the tiny hairs on his skin basked in the sunlight, and every contour on his face was relaxed. He was in good spirits.

Nian Xiaomu was surprised to see such a warm-looking Yu Yuehan.

As they were too far apart, she could not hear what he was saying but continued to blankly watch him from a distance.

Yu Yuehan was not aware that he was being looked at while he concentrated on his assistant’s report. He asked coolly, “Are the locations settled?”

“We have checked out all the suitable locations for marriage proposals. There is a variety of styles, and once I prepare a detailed summary, I will email it to you!” The assistant answered respectfully.

No one had ever seen Yu Yuehan reveal his affections for anyone.

It was the first time he was putting in so much effort.

Who would dare to do a shoddy job?

“It’s fine. You make the arrangements. I’ll go down personally.” Yu Yuehan’s expression softened as he shifted his gaze.

On the other side of the phone call, the assistant was completely stunned!

Since when did their young master carry out such small tasks on his own?

It must be because he loved Miss Nian too much!

When the assistant snapped back to his senses, a thought struck him. In a serious tone, he said, “Young Master, there is another matter to report. The person who is investigating the whereabouts of Little Miss’s mother is back with a few leads. Should we carry on with the investigation?”

Hearing this, Yu Yuehan’s eyes turned dark.

The image of Xiao Liuliu grabbing his legs and calling him “Daddi’ two years ago flashed in his mind.

It was impossible that a tiny child could find her own way to her father.

If he did not find out who the people behind this were, he could never feel reassured that Xiao Liuliu would not suffer any harm or heartbreak because of her mother.

More importantly, he could not tolerate the fact that he had been set up by a mysterious woman. Yet he had no clue who she was and what her motives were….

The air around Yu Yuehan turned icy cold.

“No matter what it takes, carry on to look for Xiao Liuliu’s mother!”

Nian Xiaomu froze in alarm at his words. She had just walked out of her room,

and looked up in shock at the figure in front of her.

He had just said that he must find Xiao Liuliu’s mother at all cost…

Nian Xiaomu stood rooted to the ground. The discovery had hit her hard

and when she regained her composure, she hurriedly retreated to the study room.

As she slumped her weight on the chair, her mind was filled the words that Yu Yuehan had said earlier.

Chapter 472: Yu Yuehan, who did you buy this ring for? (2)

Atlas Studios

She had thought Yu Yuehan’s heart was devoted to her, but this was only because that girl had left…

What about all the times he was good to her?

Was it only because she was a replacement girlfriend?

Nian Xiaomu tightened her grip on the drawing in her hand, but relaxed it when she thought of something.

Staring at the young girl in the drawing, she could see some resemblance between the two of them even from just a few strokes of a sketch. However, it was only a side profile, so she could not be sure.

It was only the ring on her finger that was striking and easy to identify because the design of the scepter was too exquisite.

He had taken her to the auction and purchased this ring.

She had thought that it was all prepared for her.

Yet now, with this drawing and what he had said about finding Xiao Liuliu’s mother at any cost, she felt that her conviction had become a joke.

Very quickly, she heard the sound of footsteps outside the room.

Nian Xiaomu snapped back to her senses and suddenly lost the courage to confront Yu Yuehan.

She hurriedly shoved the drawing back into the drawer and closed it.

When she lifted her head, she saw Yu Yuehan walk into the room.

“What happened? Why do you look so pale?” Yu Yuehan tossed his cell phone onto the table, walked around the desk, and carried Nian Xiaomu from the chair.

At his doting words and concerned expression, Nian Xiaomu immediately felt a mishmash of emotions surge within her.

Would such a good man like Yu Yuehan truly like her?

She thought through it and realized that she had not actually heard him make their relationship official before.

He hadn’t said that he liked her.

“Yu Yuehan, why do you like me?” Nestled in Yu Yuehan’s arms, Nian Xiaomu looked up at him like a child with low self-confidence who needed the affirmation of others.

Hearing this, Yu Yuehan chuckled.

To him, it seemed like she was being her usual narcissistic self, so he tapped the tip of her nose with his long finger and joked, “Who told you that I like you?”

“…”

Undeterred even though her heart ached at his words, she asked, “If you don’t like me, why are you with me even though so many other people like you?”

“Can I ask for a refund?” Yu Yuehan raised his eyebrow as he answered seriously.

Annoyed by his reply, Nian Xiaomu hammered his chest and exclaimed, “You wish! If you dare to dump me after using me, I’ll make sure to tear you into pieces and toss you into a mass grave!”

“See, that settles it,” Yu Yuehan replied nonchalantly.

The way he handled her questions sounded more like he was forcing himself to be with her so that he wouldn’t appear to be a heartbreaker.

Nian Xiaomu felt choked up with emotions and could not say a word.

She felt even more aggrieved. Leaning against his chest, she opened her mouth and bit him.

Although she had done it to vent her anger, her eyes suddenly turned red.

Thinking of the sketch in the drawer that had already yellowed, he must have kept it for many years.

Did he take it out and look at it whenever he missed Xiao Liuliu’s mother?

He still had not forgotten her and was willing to find Xiao Liuliu’s mother at any cost.

Did he ever consider what would happen to Nian Xiaomu if he did find Xiao Liuliu’s mother?

Would she have to leave on her own accord?

If so, then this meant that they did not have much time left together…

At the thought of this, Nian Xiaomu hugged Yu Yuehan’s arm tightly.

Sensing her insecurity, Yu Yuehan felt slightly taken aback, lowered his eyes to look at her, and asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

He had merely stepped out to pick up a phone call. What was she afraid of?

Cupping her chin with his hand, Yu Yuehan forced Nian Xiaomu to look up.

When he saw that her eyes had turned red, he wanted to ask her what was wrong, but she suddenly leaned forward and kissed him on the lips!
