nd, and the depths of his eyes roiled like a tempestuous sea, revealing a murderous intent that chilled to the bone.In the blink of an eye, with a sharp crack, no one could see what happened. The slea...Xiao Ya Bai put her phone aside, eating while listening to Xiao Nuan Nuan talk about what happened at Lu Yin's place.

After the video call ended, she said to the man sitting opposite her, "You know, we haven't known Lu Yin for long, and we're not really close. Why is he so good to our Xiao Nuan Nuan and An Nian"

Just now on the video call, Xiaonuan also said that the woman named Holly was going to make new clothes for her and Annian.

"Right now, I don't know for sure, but it feels like Lu Yin truly cares about Xiao Nuan and Xiao Annian." Tang Mo Qing Ye said.

Perhaps it was because of what the second brother had told him, but some of Lü Yǐn's behaviors resembled those of his nephew Sū Xiū. Lü Yǐn was a person who gave him an indescribable feeling.

Let Xiao Nuannuan follow Lu Yin, and he inexplicably felt at ease and trust.

That weekend, we went back to Beis City. Let's have a meal with him," Xiao Ya Bai suggested.

Lu Yin's company is in Germany, and he came to Beichen City because of work. Leaving Xiaonuan with Lu Yin, she felt a bit embarrassed.

"Well, alright."

Tang Moqing hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

……

Later, after dinner.

The two of them left the restaurant together and went back.

I wonder if Si Mu Tian had timed it just right. After returning home and finishing her shower, Tang Mo Qing had just entered the bathroom when Si Mu Tian sent her a WeChat message.

The little bully of the Si family: ‘...’.

The little bully of the Si family was a note Xiao Ya Bai gave him. She looked at the three periods and was speechless for a moment.

After thinking about it, I replied, "Starting today, I'll be making salted fish": '？？？'

Master of the House: ‘……’

She then added, “About tonight… I had no idea my brother would set me up with someone without even telling me. And I really don't like that Yang guy. Please don't misunderstand.”

Xiao Ya Bai looked at these words, and she immediately thought of Tang Mo Qing's guess the night before, that Si Mu would definitely come to explain to her in the evening, so as not to let her misunderstand.

In this situation, she didn't know how to respond.

After thinking about it for a while, he then said—

Starting today, I'm making salted fish: 'Uh...I think your brother might be concerned about you. He probably thinks that since he already has a partner and you're almost thirty, he wants to find someone who can take care of you before you get married.'

After all, if he gets married, his focus might shift towards his new family and he wouldn't be able to take care of you as attentively as he does now.

I sent two messages and waited a while, but I didn't get a reply from Sima Tian.

Xiao Ya Bai pondered for a moment, then sent another message.

From today onwards, start with the dried salted fish: 'If you don't want your brother to interfere in your affairs, you can find an opportunity to talk to him calmly and peacefully.'

Until Tang Moqing finished his shower and came out, Sima Tian did not reply again.

"Did Sima Tian find you" Tang Mo asked, seeing her holding her phone at night.

"Well, he told me the same things you guessed before." She nodded in agreement.

"What do you say then" he asked again.

Xiao Ya Bai directly handed her phone to him, letting him see the chat history himself. Then she got up from the single sofa and flopped onto the bed, rolling around comfortably.

She was sprawled on her bed, her face turned to the side, resting her cheek against her pillow. As a man walked past by her bedside, she said, “I think I was pretty neutral in my words. I don't know why he didn’t reply.”

"He's probably asleep." Tang Mo Qing put his phone on the table beside him and smiled, "We should go to sleep too."

"Man, you get your hair dried right now, or you're not allowed on my bed." Xiao Ya Bai kicked the air and commanded with feigned anger.

"It'll just get wet again later. It's a pointless effort. We should cherish this precious night, for every moment is worth a thousand gold." He shrugged and said.

She narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying, "What did you say I didn't quite catch it. Could you repeat that"

"My dear wife, I'll...I'll just go blow my hair dry." He finished his sentence and turned to find the hairdryer.

The long night will be over soon. It won't take much time to just blow on some hair.

Anyway, can't get my wife angry.

Xiao Ya Bai looked at his back and smiled angrily.

I think this man's skin is getting thicker and thicker.

Some things, she had to raise the whip in her hand and try to lash him a few times before he would do them.

*****

After Sima Yan found Xiao Ya Bai, I don't know what the Sima brothers talked about when they returned home.

After that, Simu Tian never came to find her again.

In their usual encounters, they would only nod and greet each other.

Xiao Ya Bai could clearly feel that Si Mu Tian seemed to be troubled by something, no longer willing to pay attention to her, his personality had become more taciturn and less prone to anger.

Such a transformation in Simu Tian made her somewhat worried, but she didn't want to show her concern for him.

This day, Xiao Yabai after much deliberation, still decided to make a phone call to ask Sima Muyan about his brother Sima Tian's situation.

As for his younger brother's situation, Sima Yan had always been well-informed.

However, regarding Simu Tian's transformation, Simu Yan couldn't figure out the reason. When he asked his brother, the latter was dismissive and wouldn't even utter a word.

Hearing Xiao Yabai say this, Si Muttian explained to her on WeChat that night, saying that Yang Yunyao had nothing to do with him and so on.

Simu Yan immediately asked seriously, "How did you respond when he spoke to you like that"

“...”

Xiao Ya Bai heard his tone change abruptly, putting on an air of being extremely unusual and having a lot to do with her. She felt a little innocent.

However, she still truthfully told Sima Yan everything she had said to Sima Tian, not a single word left out.

After listening, Si Muyan fell silent for a moment before speaking in a profound tone, "I understand. The changes in Mutian have little to do with Miss Xiao. However, I trouble Miss Xiao to treat Mutian like an ordinary friend from now on, limited to nodding acquaintances. If it's not absolutely necessary to see Mutian, you can find Fang Hua instead."

Xiao Ya Bai suddenly felt a pang of sympathy and hesitated.

Just as I was about to speak, Si Mu Yan's voice became unusually serious, "Xiao Ya Bai, what Mu Tian wants, you can't give it. So, when it's time to be ruthless, you should be ruthless. If you hesitate, the one who will suffer the most in the end is Mu Tian. It's better to have a short pain than a long one, understand"

"I understand." Xiao Ya Bai took a deep breath inwardly, her voice firm in response.

Perhaps Si Mu Yan was right, because his own indecisiveness in handling this matter led Si Mu Tian to have a possible misconception about him.

When it's time to be ruthless, you should be ruthless.

> Pain lasts longer than suffering…. She turned her head and found him staring at her intently, without blinking. She touched her nose, "What are you looking at me for""It's nothing." A faint yet gentle smile curved his lips, his gaze...
