Chapter 3: Even if it hurts, she’ll hold him tight

Yan Mo Jiu looked at Meng Ming Xuan, a strange emotion flashing in his deep black eyes.

No one could truly hide any secrets in front of the Ninth Master of Lin City.

Meng Ming Xuan’s anxiety was all in Yan Mo Jiu’s eyes.

He knew that his little girl had secrets.

Perhaps…

It was Yin Ting who taught her.

He didn’t know what she was trying to do for now.

But he didn’t want to break the precious peace and warmth between them.

“Okay.”

He bent down and reached out.

He went around her knees and gently lifted her up.

“Brother won’t bring up the past.”

The moment her body left the ground, Meng Ming Xuan instinctively hugged Yan Mo Jiu’s neck.

She had been lonely for too long.

When she died, there was no one around her.

So much so that after her rebirth, Yan Mo Jiu’s gentle embrace almost made her want to cry.

“Jiu Ge…” she murmured softly, burying her face in the man’s neck.

Her two hands held him tighter.

Yan Mo Jiu’s breath caught slightly.

The girl’s faint warmth brushed against his skin, making all his muscles tense.

After a long time, he spoke in a low voice, “Don’t use your wrist.”

Her wrist was injured.

The doctor said she couldn’t use it.

“I’m not using it.” Meng Ming Xuan lied with her eyes open.

She had already died once, how could she be afraid of such a small pain?

Even if it hurt, she would still hold him tight.

This life, she would never leave his side again.

Wherever he went, she would follow.

Meng Ming Xuan moved into the Yan family at the age of six, and Yan Mo Jiu had practically watched her grow up, so he naturally knew her stubborn temper.

He didn’t say anything more, but simply held her steadily and walked quickly out of the ward.

In a short while, they were sitting in the back seat of the Rolls Royce.

Yan Mo Jiu originally wanted to hold her on his lap, but then he suddenly thought of his… so he changed his mind and put her beside him.

“Give me your hand.”

He pulled down the hem of his suit to cover his thigh slightly, then reached out to Meng Ming Xuan.

Meng Ming Xuan had been clinging to him all along, and when she heard him say this, her eyes flashed, and she immediately handed him her right hand.

Yan Mo Jiu glanced at her, seeing through her little trick, “Left hand.”

“…” Meng Ming Xuan didn’t say anything, but hid her left hand behind her back.

It was burning with pain, it must be bleeding again.

He couldn’t see it.

Yan Mo Jiu’s handsome face instantly showed displeasure.

“Hold it out.” He ordered coldly.

Meng Ming Xuan pursed her lips and simply sat by the car door.

Then, she secretly took a look.

Okay, it was bleeding again.

The freshly bandaged white gauze was stained with blood.

“It hurts! Don’t touch it!” Meng Ming Xuan shouted in pain as she saw the man reach out.

Yan Mo Jiu stopped his movement instantly.

He stared at Meng Ming Xuan for a long time before he pulled at his tie in frustration and sat up straight.

“…” The driver in the front seat tried hard to keep a smile on his face.

The Ninth Master couldn’t bear to hit Miss, nor could he bear to scold her, and as soon as Miss cried out in pain, the Ninth Master wouldn’t dare to touch her again.

Even if he could see that Miss was deliberately being spoiled, the Ninth Master was helpless against her.

But…

After Miss got hurt this time, her relationship with the Ninth Master actually eased.

It was truly a blessing for them, his subordinates.

“Deduct three months’ salary.”

Yan Mo Jiu stared at the rearview mirror.

Xu Li, who was holding back his laughter, spoke coldly.

Xu Li: “???”

He…

Meng Ming Xuan was stunned for a moment and quickly pleaded for Xu Li, “Jiu Ge, this has nothing to do with Xu Li.”

It was because she hugged him too hard that her wound started bleeding.

It wasn’t Xu Li’s fault.

“Miss is wise!” Xu Li almost burst into tears.

Three months’ salary, that’s hundreds of thousands of dollars.

He couldn’t be deducted!

He didn’t laugh… he really didn’t laugh…

He dared to swear on his future wife!

Yan Mo Jiu’s thin lips pursed slightly, and his sharp gaze finally retracted.

“Thank you, Jiu Ye! Thank you, Miss!” Xu Li immediately expressed his gratitude happily.

He had been following Jiu Ye for so long, and with just one look from Jiu Ye, he knew whether it was war or peace.

Meng Ming Xuan was stunned and couldn’t help but look at Yan Mo Jiu’s cold profile.

In her memories of her previous life, Yan Mo Jiu was really very strict with her, but… as long as it wasn’t a matter of principle, he would always indulge her.

Before Yin Ting appeared, her relationship with Yan Mo Jiu was actually very good.

Closer than siblings.

Later…

Meng Ming Xuan gently bit her lip, her eyes flickering.

She knew why she had gradually grown distant from Yan Mo Jiu in her previous life.

But this life, she wouldn’t be foolish again.

Moreover, she would definitely find out why Yin Ting hated Yan Mo Jiu so much.

Meng Ming Xuan fell into some memories of her past life, which Yan Mo Jiu interpreted differently.

Thinking of the person in the girl’s heart at this moment, Yan Mo Jiu’s murderous aura was almost uncontrollable.

Meng Ming Xuan was oblivious.

It wasn’t until they arrived at the Yan family villa that Yan Mo Jiu slammed the car door shut.

Meng Ming Xuan shuddered and came to her senses.

She looked up at the window in confusion.

Jiu Ge… he left without waiting for her?

Meng Ming Xuan bit her lip, feeling a sense of loss in her heart.

Her self-harm tonight had hurt Jiu Ge’s heart.

At her wedding to Yin Ting in her previous life, Jiu Ge didn’t attend, but Jiu Ge’s good brother Nie Zi Yang did.

When she held Yin Ting’s arm and went to Nie Zi Yang’s table to toast, Nie Zi Yang, who was puffing away at a cigarette, looked at her white wedding dress with a smirk and said, “The white-eyed wolf looks pretty in a wedding dress.”

She and Yin Ting toasted, but Nie Zi Yang didn’t drink and got up to leave.

He only left a thin red envelope.

She opened it and saw a check for fifty million inside.

Nie Zi Yang… must have given her such a generous gift because of Jiu Ge.

Or maybe it was Jiu Ge’s intention.

“Miss, get out of the car quickly, Jiu Ye is waiting for you at the door.”

Xu Li’s voice came from the open car door, bringing Meng Ming Xuan back to her senses.

She looked up and saw Yan Mo Jiu’s tall figure waiting at the entrance of the villa.

Meng Ming Xuan’s mood instantly brightened.

It’s okay, she will work hard to repair her relationship with Jiu Ge.

“Hmm.” Meng Ming Xuan responded and got out of the car, running towards Yan Mo Jiu.

Yan Mo Jiu naturally heard the footsteps behind him and knew she was running fast.

He turned to look at her, his brows slightly furrowed.

Meng Ming Xuan saw the worry in the man’s cold eyes, her mind moved, and as she was about to reach the man, she tripped over her own feet.

She was about to fall.

“Ming Xuan!”

Yan Mo Jiu took a step forward and caught the girl who was about to fall forward.

Meng Ming Xuan’s lips curled up, and she burrowed into his arms, “Thank you, Jiu Ge.”

“…”

Yan Mo Jiu, what a character.

The moment of worry was instinctive.

But after the instinct, he saw through her little trick.

Yan Mo Jiu closed his eyes in forbearance and swallowed the scolding words that were about to come out of his mouth.

She was finally willing to come home.

He couldn’t make her unhappy again.

“Jiu Ge, don’t be angry, I’ll be good from now on, okay?” Meng Ming Xuan was actually quite afraid of Yan Mo Jiu.

Especially when Yan Mo Jiu was silent with a sullen face, his expression unreadable, it was easy to make one’s heart tremble.

Before, she was blinded by love, and for Yin Ting, she dared to challenge the elders.

Now that her love brain was gone, she was afraid of the elders again.

Yan Mo Jiu looked at the girl looking up at him, her expression carrying a hint of appeasement and coquettishness.

He couldn’t help but swallow.

“How good can you be?” He suppressed the urge to hold her tighter, his voice cold with distrust.

Meng Ming Xuan thought for a moment, “Jiu Ge, whatever you ask me to do, I’ll do it.”

Yan Mo Jiu lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in his arms, her delicate face showing absolute obedience and seriousness.

Deep in his heart, a wave of mockery arose.

Really?

If he asked her to marry him, would she also obey?

He didn’t believe it.

She was just following Yin Ting’s words and coming back to deceive him.

But even so, he still craved this moment of warmth.
