"Darling~, I didn't know you liked to display our love for the public." Yang Zheyan nudged his head towards the people on the sidewalk. "I don't mind it at all if this is something you like. We can stand outside all day to show every passing person our love."
Yang Zheyan instantly lost his smile as he pulled her a step back with him. A person on his bike was passing by her.
Xiong Jingfei tapped her thighs with her fingers, thinking. She gritted her teeth and led him inside the building.
He took a big step to stand side by side with her. Yang Zheyan smiled, looking down at their hands still together.
When Xiong Jingfei opened her apartment door and immediately closed it. She wasn't sure if she entered the correct place.
She checked the apartment number on her door. Yes, this was her apartment… The same apartment she has been renting since moving out of her father's house. The key fit the doorknob and unlocked it too!
But why and where in the world is all her stuff! The apartment she left yesterday still had furniture. Why is it empty! She didn't get rob, did she?
Everything was missing! She opened her kitchen cabinets, and they were all empty. There wasn't a spec of dust to remind her that she lived here. Those robbers didn't leave one thing of hers behind.
Xiong Jingfei opened her bedroom door, and as expected, everything in her bedroom was gone too. Those robbers did not disappoint her thoughts.
She stood at the spot where she put her mother's picture frame. It was also gone!
There was no need for her to search for the gems that popped out of the frame. She put the gems into a box and left it underneath her bed. Her bed was missing, so there was no chance that the box was left behind.
A knocked was made at her open bedroom door, "Feifei, there is someone here for you."
Xiong Jingfei dragged her feet out of her room. In her small living room, the person who was here for her was that elderly woman. The person she met downstairs that one time and gave her two tangerines. Why was she looking for her?
She was about to ask if the elderly woman's place got robbed too.
"Ahh, seeing you here means what those people and what he said was true." The elderly woman sighed out in relief. She couldn't sleep a wink after seeing random people emptying out Xiong Jingfei's apartment within one night.
Xiong Jingfei looked up at Yang Zheyan. What did he say to her, and who are "these" people?
Yang Zheyan looked down at her with loving eyes. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, "I would like to thank you for looking out for my wife all this time."
"There is no need to thank me, young man. I was worried since she was a woman and living on her own."
Yang Zheyan nodded his head, "From today onward, it will be my turn to protect and watch over her."
It was the elderly woman's turn to nod her head. She patted Xiong Jingfei on the hand tenderly, "Young lady, I am happy to see that you found someone to love and protect you. I hope you and your husband an abundance of happiness."
Something was telling Xiong Jingfei that the stuff missing in her home had to do with him.
Yang Zheyan continued conversing with the elderly woman, and surprisingly he was good at it too. Not long after, the elderly woman bid them her goodbye.
"Are you ready to leave?" Yang Zheyan kept his arm wrapped around her shoulder.
Xiong Jingfei brushed his arm off her shoulders. It was only them alone in her small empty apartment. There was no need for them to keep up this pretense. She was not going to go anywhere with him until he explains what is happening.
Yang Zheyan pretends to look hurt that she pushed him away, "Don't you remember what grandpa said?"
['They should live together before getting married.']
Xiong Jingfei slumped down on the spot. This is why his grandpa was unwilling to let her return and made her stay for the night. He didn't let her leave right away in the morning too. It was all because they were already in the finishing touch of moving out her things!
She underestimated Yang Jinhai! She didn't think he was going to take action right away when he said it. There was nothing she can do too! Her father will never say no to it, and she can't be on Yang Jinhai's bad side also.
"Come now, darling~, let me show you our new home." Yang Zheyan pulled Xiong Jingfei up to her feet.
When they arrived at this "new" home of theirs… It was big! It wasn't a new home to Yang Zheyan since it belonged to him.
Xiong Jingfei tried to contain her shocks. Everything in his home was two times bigger than her father's house. She doesn't know how she'll get used to living in such a big home.
Yang Zheyan introduced her to the people in charge of his house.
"This is the room young master prepared for you," Nanny Liu opened the door.
Everything that belonged to her was appropriately placed in the room. It appeared they tried their best to put her things the same way she had it. The only different thing was the bed.
The frame with the picture of her mother was placed on the nightstand, next to her bed. She smiled, not knowing what she'll do if she lost it.
Nanny Liu looked like she had something else to say. She wasn't sure if she should, so she left it to Yang Zheyan to tell her.
Xiong Jingfei laid on her new bed and hugged the broken frame. At least, Yang Zheyan wasn't making them share a room. This is the house she will live in for the next one to two years.
