He did not stay on any further and left after he finished speaking.

Nian Xiaomu was merely out to dispose of the condoms, but she was left standing rooted to the ground in a zoned-out state. For a long time, she could not snap back to her senses.

Mo Yongheng…

Is the surname Mo so common in City N?

She had actually bumped into two people with the Mo surname when she had only just arrived at the hotel.

She had expected to meet Mo Qian.

After all, they had come on this trip just for him.

However, Nian Xiaomu did not expect that she would bump into someone named Mo Yongheng.

Does he happen to share the Mo surname, or is he someone from the Mo Family?

He did not seem like he was staying in the hotel. Instead, he appeared to be in a hurry, as if he was rushing to another location…

In addition, the bodyguards around him were malicious-looking.

Those who were aware would know that they were protecting Mo Yongheng, but they would appear to be kidnapping Mo Yongheng in the eyes of people who did not know better.

She had merely knocked over a waste bin, and yet all of their expressions changed.

It was a minor episode. However, Nian Xiaomu would not have gone into a trance if not for the mention of the surname, “Mo”.

By the time she returned to her senses, she reckoned that Yu Yuehan might have finished his shower and she ran back with the room card in hand.

The door of the bathroom opened at the same time as she entered the hotel room.

A loose-fitting sleeping robe was draped around Yu Yuehan’s body and he was wiping his short hair with a white towel.

Along with his actions, the water droplets on his head splattered over the surroundings and thin layers of mist started to form.

It added an extra hint of gentleness to his frosty facial features.

When he noticed that Nian Xiaomu had just returned to the hotel room, he narrowed his eyes and asked, “Where did you go?”

“Nope, I didn’t go anywhere. I took a stroll outside since this is such a luxurious hotel…” At the thought of the condoms that she had plundered and disposed of, Nian Xiaomu felt so guilty that she dared not look him in the eyes.

With her hand on the door frame, she bent down to place the card onto the cabinet beside the door and pretended to be busy with something.

Noticing that he was advancing toward her, she spoke first and said, “Erm, what are we doing tomorrow? If Mo Qian isn’t coming, I guess we will have to wait till the day of the business conference before we can see him. Since we have not found a use for the password that was decoded from the kaleidoscope yet, shall we take the time out and make a trip to the Tan family ancestral residence tomorrow?”

“We are in City N right now anyway, and it’s a waste to not make a trip over. If you are worried, we can take more bodyguards with us this time around. Otherwise, we can take Zheng Yan along. The Zheng Family is a pretty prominent family in City N, so I guess no one would dare to lay their hands on Zheng Yan…”

“Nian Xiaomu.” Yu Yuehan said in a chilly manner.

Nian Xiaomu replied, “Yeah?”

“Haven’t I reminded you that you tend to blabber a lot out of guilt after doing something unfaithful to me?” Yu Yuehan answered.

“…”

“Make things clear. Where did you go just now, and who did you meet? Were there handsome young men around?”

“…”

Having a fiance who is akin to a mind-reading detective is an utterly miserable experience.

After stuttering incoherently for a while, Nian Xiaomu finally forced herself to narrate her encounter with Mo Yongheng when she was out to dispose of her rubbish earlier on.

“I really have nothing to do with this, I was merely out to dispose of some rubbish. The handsome young man was the one who took the initiative to speak to me, I did not secretly head out to peek at handsome young men behind your back…”

Nian Xiaomu noticed the sunken face of a particular someone and raised her hand up to pledge her innocence with a sincere look.

Yu Yuehan stared at her hand and did not respond.

As he swept his glance at the empty waste bins that could be found in every corner of the hotel room, he knitted his eyebrows slightly and said, “What item did you dispose of? Why must you specially head out especially to do it?”
