At this moment, his heart pulsed rapidly and it was so sudden to the point where he let out a cough.

But he had to admit that the moment Xu Xinduo came over and deliberately teased him, he was absolutely entranced. Like a charming curse of black magic, he felt the desire to drown in her arms.

The mood, however, was completely destroyed by two syllables that were uttered from his mouth,”Scumbag!”

Xu Xinduo immediately took the bowl and went to wash it.

“We have a dishwasher,” Tong Yan said after walking to the kitchen.

“A dishwasher for just a bowl seems a little over the top.”

Tong Yan looked at Xu Xinduo with his hands grasped around his chest. He already adored the colour black, but he thought that the girl he adored looked particularly good in a black suspender nightdress.

Looking at her, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously.

After Xu Xinduo finished washing the dishes, she wiped her hands and turned to look at Tong Yan. She asked, “Why haven’t you slept yet?”

“I’m so angry that I can’t sleep.”

“Continue to be angered then, you can’t change the outcome anyways.”

Tong Yan followed Xu Xinduo out of the kitchen. Xu Xinduo already turned off the lights, so only the kinetic sensor lights under their feet remained lit in the room.

He suddenly asked, “Have you checked?”

Xu Xinduo didn’t hide the truth and answered directly, “Mm.”

When Tong Yan passed the living room, he sat directly on the sofa, ready to chat with Xu Xinduo.

Xu Xinduo walked over and sat down as she turned on the wall lamp above the sofa.

“Qiao Nian is my mother’s ex-boyfriend,” Tong Yan said bluntly.

“So part of the rumour was true?”

“Well, Qiao Nian came to the house one time and suddenly grabbed me, not letting go. He held a knife to my neck and yelled at my mother hysterically. I can’t remember exactly what was said because I was really scared at that moment, but I remember the general gist of it. My mother abandoned him, and in order to ‘steal’ my mother, my father made his company plunge into bankruptcy as Qiao Nian became heavily caught in debt.”

Qiao Nian was really related to Tong Yan’s scar.

Xu Xinduo suddenly felt her heart ache. He experienced this at such a young age. What was Tong Yan’s mood at that time?

Was he terrified?

Xu Xinduo thought for a while and said, “I believe that my mother did not end up with my father for his money.”

“They never told me what was going on between them, but maybe it was because they thought it was hard to explain things to their son. All I know is that I have a scar on my neck that will stay for the entirety of my life.”

After hearing this, Xu Xinduo felt uncomfortable for a while. She leaned over and hugged Tong Yan, embracing his head to comfort him, “It’s not ugly, I like the tattoo on your neck very much.”

Tong Yan put his arms around Xu Xinduo’s waist but he felt that her it was at a ridiculously slim level.

With this nightdress being especially thin, it made her figure even more distinct.

“I like it when you have long hair,” he whispered.

His tone was so bitter.

“I like it when you’re not angry at something like this.”

“Okay… In fact, short hair on you is also quite nice. After all, it’s pleasing to the eye… so it’s okay.”

Tong Yan leaned against Xu Xinduo’s arms and suddenly realised that Xu Xinduo didn’t seem to be wearing underwear under her pyjamas.

His throat suddenly began to itch and he began to cough uncontrollably.
