At six in the afternoon, due to the meeting being a bit late, Xiao Muting returned home a bit later than usual.
With a slightly tired expression, he immediately became more alert when he thought about how he would be able to see Xia Wan right away.
However, the security guard was too distracted to notice his return and delayed opening the fence.
Frowning, Xiao Muting pressed his horn unhappily, only then did he alarm the security guards.
After driving into the warehouse, he got out of the car and snapped impatiently at the people behind him, "There's going to be a second time, then you won't have to come anymore."
The security guard looked to be in pain, but he did not say anything. When Xiao Muting was about to enter the villa, he shouted loudly, "Radix Sorbiae, please wait!"
What happened in the afternoon made the security guards feel guilty after all. He didn't dare to hide the fact that he had a guilty conscience.
Xiao Muting stopped and turned around in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Lowering his head, the security guard did not dare to look Xiao Muting in the eyes, and could only mutter sullenly: "Radix Sorbiae, this afternoon, a girl came to give you a present, and after I rejected her, a car suddenly appeared on the street and took that girl away without any warning."
"There's such a thing?" Frowning, Xiao Muting was confused.
"Radix Sorbiae, they had the advantage of numbers, I did not dare to stop them, but I was worried that the girl might be in danger!"
Hearing that, Xiao Muting remained as calm and collected as usual, not like to meddle in other people's business, "What does that girl look like?"
"Very nice. I can't describe the specifics."
Helplessly shaking his head, Xiao Muting asked again: "Then has she been here before?"
"No, I've never seen it before."
Xiao Muting stretched his eyebrows and comforted his: "Since you don't know anyone, why are you worrying about so much? Just take care of yourself."
"But Radix Sorbiae …"
Being glared at and stopped by Xiao Muting, the security guard did not dare to say anything and swallowed the rest of his words.
After wiping away the worry on his face, Xiao Muting regained his good mood, and walked into the house expectantly.
Sure enough, Xia Wan had already prepared food and sat obediently at the table, waiting for him.
"Sorry, I came back a little late today, I won't come back next time."
"It's alright, since everyone is so busy with their work, you must be very busy!" With that, Xia Wan got up and started to fill the bowl of food for Xiao Muting, with the demeanor of a virtuous wife helping him out.
Pursing his lips into a smile, Xiao Muting took the fragrant white rice from Xia Wan and only felt that all his worries had been swept away.
"What are you doing at home today?" While he was picking up dishes for Xia Wan, Xiao Muting asked with great interest.
Pouting his lips, Xia Wan replied with a depressed look on her face: "What else can I do? I'll watch TV in a daze, I'll wait for you to come home."
Even though Xia Wan's "wait for you to come home" did not have any deeper meaning, Xiao Muting's heart still shook when he heard it, and he was obsessed with the other party for a long time.
It was only until Xia Wan felt a little uncomfortable that he shifted his gaze.
"This weekend, go out to sea. I'll teach you how to fish, okay?"
"Really?" Xia Wan raised the corner of her mouth in delight.
Due to the "accident" from last time, she didn't walk very far. She didn't even get out of the car and headed home. She longed for freedom and the outside air even more.
With an apologetic expression, Xiao Muting put down the tableware. With a serious face, he asked gently: "Xia Wan, are you willing to live abroad?"
"Why overseas?" Xia Wan's gaze was confused, curious, and confused.
With a dim gaze, Xiao Muting did not explain and only asked once more: "You only said that you're willing?"
"I don't care where I live. I'll go wherever you go." These words were true from Xia Wan's heart. After all, she had no one to rely on other than Xiao Muting.
Even if she went back to that grandmother's side, she would feel uncomfortable, so she might as well stay by Xiao Muting's side.
A warm feeling swept across his heart. Xiao Muting's eyes shined brightly, and he was so touched that he could not speak.
The reason why he moved abroad was because he did not want to keep Xia Wan at home all day.
Seeing Xia Wan being so depressed, how could he be happy on his own?
Furthermore, only by moving to a place where no one else could find them would he be able to maintain his current relationship with Xia Wan. He would not be criticized by the people, and he would not be disturbed by others.
Therefore, since Xia Wan was willing, he felt that giving up his career was a worthwhile choice.
"Xiao Muting, if you move out of the country, what about your company?" , who had only just realized the problem, suddenly thought of this question.
Smiling, Xiao Muting replied lovingly: "I can bear to part with it, I can't. How can I possibly let you go?"
Actually, what he wanted to express was that the company was not as important as Xia Wan. However, he was afraid that the other party would be shy, so he changed the topic to a more tactful and tactful way of speaking.
"That's true!" Are you going to sell your current company and start over abroad? "
"That's smart. Would you like to start over with me?"
With regards to the word "restart", Xia Wan was always filled with anticipation and passion, so she nodded in extreme excitement.
However, if she thought of everything, she would understand that the meaning of this sentence was far more than what she understood.
After a few minutes of pleasant conversation and a delicious dinner, Xiao Muting had made up his mind to move with Xia Wan abroad.
With endless expectations for the future in his heart, he quickly threw himself into planning for the future after eating his meal.
But just as he sat down at his desk, his cell phone rang like a death knell.
Seeing that it was Ye Jianping calling, he massaged his temples with a headache, and thought that he still did not want to give up?
"Uncle Ye, I think my meaning is very clear. How long are you going to pester me?"
"Mu Ting, I have a girl called Lu Yaoyao here. I wonder if you're familiar with her?"
Xiao Muting's face stiffened. He stood in his original spot, and after regaining his senses, he lowered his voice and said with a look of vexation: "Uncle Ye, what are you trying to do?"
"Nothing, I just want to ask, do you care about this girl's life or death?"
"Uncle Ye, please calm down! "She's just an ordinary friend of mine, how did she offend you?!"
"She has indeed never offended me, but you did not care about my daughter's life and did not care about her life. I just wanted to let you have a taste of what it was like!"
With a cold snort, Xiao Muting hated being threatened the most, "Heh! "Really? Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I've always been so cold-blooded. You have to slowly entertain yourself, I have no time to accompany you!"
After hanging up, Xiao Muting's chest rose up and down, and his face turned ugly.
When he thought about Lu Yaoyao's kindness and innocence, and what the security guards had just told him, no matter how heartless he was, it was impossible for him to remain calm.
Moreover, Lu Yaoyao was Xia Wan's best friend …
Thinking of this, his mood turned sour, and he became extremely agitated.
He got up, opened the window and let the cold, clear wind caress his face. After clearing his head a little, Xiao Muting's turbid eyes slowly turned clear.
He had long experienced Ye Jianping's cunning old fox, but even so, he had no choice but to go.
He had used Lu Yaoyao too many times. This time, he could be considered as making up for his previous mistakes.
Moreover, he was about to move out with Xia Wan. Before he left, he didn't want to feel any more guilt in his heart.
After putting on his jacket, Xiao Muting walked downstairs quickly, "Xia Wan, I'm going out for a while, I'll be back soon. I'm alone at home, are you afraid?"
Turning his head, Xia Wan said with her mouth twitching: "Xiao Muting, I'm not a child, you can rest assured that you can do whatever you want, don't worry about me."
"Alright, wait obediently for my return."
Xia Wan's face flushed red, she nodded and did not say another word.
After exiting the door, Xiao Muting rushed over to the Ye Family mansion. As for the group of people who had been waiting in the dark for a long time, with Ye Tong as the leader, they sent Xiao Muting far away with their eyes before quickly invading the villa.
The security on duty was knocked out, there was no one guarding the house, Xia Wan was watching TV, she could not feel the danger approaching her at all.
With a loud clang, the door was kicked open by someone. She looked back at the group of strangers with fear in her eyes.
"It really is you!" Xia Wan, do you have any shame! " Ye Tong was furious, her face turned sinister.
Xia Wan asked Ye Tong with a perplexed look: "You know me?"
With a sneer, Ye Tong approached the other party, step by step, and ridiculed her: "What are you pretending for? Let me tell you, if you fall into my hands today, it would be your own fault! "You already have a husband, but you're still pestering another man. How can you be so despicable!"
Although Xia Wan could not understand what Ye Tong was saying, but to be scolded for no reason, if it was anyone else, they would not be courteous.
"Young lady, I don't know what you're talking about! This is my house, please leave immediately, or else I'll call the police! "
Hearing that, Ye Tong laughed out loud, and then, she ordered with a sinister look in her eyes: "Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear that she was calling the police? Hurry and arrest her! "
Seeing that, Xia Wan retreated step by step, but she was eventually unable to escape her fate of being taken away …
When Xiao Muting finally arrived at his destination, he didn't know that his own villa was already emptied.
He walked into the Ye family with a cold aura, his face was calm, and his eyes were gloomy.
Seeing Ye Jianping sitting calmly in the living room, he knew that he had been waiting for a long time, so he went straight to the point: "Where is he?"
Calmly blowing on the tea, Ye Jianping took a sip and snapped his fingers.
Following that, Lu Yaoyao was brought out by someone, her face was deathly still with empty eyes.
Seeing that Lu Yaoyao was unharmed, Xiao Muting gouged her out angrily, and did not understand what the other party was playing at, "Condition?"
After giving a meaningful smile, Ye Jianping put down the teacup and was finally willing to look at Xiao Muting, "Condition? "No conditions, take him away. I was just messing around with you."
Knitting his brows, the anger on Xiao Muting's face grew even more intense, "Ye Jianping! What the hell are you doing!? "
After he finished speaking, he turned around to look at Lu Yaoyao, and his tone slightly softened, "What, he didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Slowly raising his eyes, Lu Yaoyao shook her head with all her might, but her tears were gushing out like a flood, "Xiao Muting, you've been tricked! Your family lives with Xia Wan, right? This old thing's method of luring the tiger out of its lair! Xia Wan is in danger now, go back and take a look! "
After a long time, Xiao Muting finally stopped and stared at Ye Jianping with a gloomy expression. His eyes were completely red, as if he wanted to eat up.
After hearing Lu Yaoyao's words, he suddenly stopped.
"Are you sure you don't mind?" With worry, he looked at the teary Lu Yaoyao, who was secretly clenching his fists, as though he was going to explode at any time.
"I am only a front for him to lie to you! Go back quickly! " Shaking his head, Lu Yaoyao urged him with tears in his eyes.
Once again, he turned and left. Before he even stepped out of the house, Xiao Muting heard him chuckle: "It's too late — —"
