She was on tenterhooks as she did not know if Yu Yuehan had seen her when he had turned in her direction.
Just as she was panicking, slow and steady footsteps could be heard walking in her direction…
Nian Xiaomu was so afraid that she held her breath!
She thought, It’s over, it’s over. I should not have tried to peak just now. It was definitely when Yu Yuehan caught me.
He was walking towards her now. In just a few seconds, he would be able to see her.
Then, he would mock and ridicule her for it.
Under such circumstances, how was she supposed to remain calm and walk out of the Yu Family’s gate under his look of disdain?
Forget it. She would probably die a quicker death by banging her head against the door!
Before Nian Xiaomu could finish mourning for herself, the footsteps suddenly stopped. Then, they took a turn in another direction, heading towards the wine cupboard nearer to the door.
Yu Yuehan reached out to open the cupboard door and took out a bottle of red wine.
As he turned around, and he took a glance in another direction.
Yu Yuehan’s dark eyes flickered as if he had not seen anything.
His facial expression remained unchanged as he walked into the dining room, pretending nothing had happened…
Phew…
After hearing his footsteps leave, Nian Xiaomu sat paralyzed on the ground in shock.
When she wiped her hand across her forehead, cold sweat had dotted her forehead.
It had slipped her mind that the wine cabinet was very close to her.
He was only there to get some red wine and she had thought that she had actually been caught.
Nian Xiaomu regained her composure and took a glance at the dining room. After making sure that Yu Yuehan had entered the dining room, she quickly got up from the ground, patted her butt to brush off the dust, and ran straight out without looking back.
In an instant, she had almost vanished without a trace.
At the entrance of the dining room, Yu Yuehan’s regal figure stood there in silence.
He had probably estimated the time she would take to run out. He slowly stepped out of the dining room, fixating his gaze in the direction that she had left.
As he collected his gaze, a complicated streak of light flickered past his eyes.
When the butler, who was standing beside him, saw that he had caught Nian Xiaomu, he was so nervous that he did not know how to explain himself.
He was at a loss as to whether he should take the initiative to explain. However, Yu Yuehan did not look at him. Instead, his gaze was fixated on the direction Nian Xiaomu had left. After what seemed like an eternity, and only when she had gone without a trace did he turn around and calmly and sit at the dining table.
He poured himself a glass of red wine and drank it in a shot.
He turned around and gestured to the butler to pour more wine for him. However, in his eyes, it did not seem like he wanted to settle the score with the butler.
It seemed like he had found out about it long ago…
As the butler looked at him, he recalled that when Yu Yuehan returned, he had suddenly received a call at the door. His jaws dropped in shock.
Could it be, Young Master had found out about it then?
That was why he did not return to the reading room as usual, but stayed in the living room to play with Little Miss without even changing his clothes…
So to say, Young Master did not intend to keep Little Miss company but wanted to stay in the same space as Nian Xiaomu.
Even if they did not get to talk or meet, all that mattered was that they were together in the same space.
At the thought of this, the butler was almost moved to tears.
Wen Zhouzhou’s words,
Can somebody tell me, what is love supposed to be? That makes me hold no fear in the face of death. In your absence, my existence is meaningless on earth
flashed across his mind.
Compared to the butler’s complicated thoughts, Yu Yuehan appeared to be much calmer.
Indeed, he had found out that Nian Xiaomu was in the Yu Family villa long ago. He knew that she did not want to meet him, so he gave her the chance to hide.
However, he could not bear to let her go just like this.
Hence, he kept playing with Xiao Liuliu in the living room.
When she secretly peeked at him from behind the door, he was also peeking at her out of the corner of his eye…
