Familiar face, familiar voice, familiar smile.

An indescribable feeling swept through her in an instant. Her eyes reddened. "Big brother Chu Chen …"

Eight years had passed, and Li Yang had never seen him again. But now, her Big Brother Chu Chen had returned, standing in front of her and gently calling her name.

Her vision blurred. It was as if she had returned to that blissful, blissful time of her childhood …

Mu Yuchen reached out to caress Mu Ru Yue's hair, then casually pulled her into his embrace, "Silly girl, long time no see."

Large tears fell down her face. She finally revealed all of her weaknesses to him.

She did not ask him why he had left her eight years ago. She did not ask him if he had been well all these years.

She was just leaning in his embrace, calling out to him again and again, "Big brother Chu Chen …"

She cried as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and grievances she had suffered during this period of time.

Mu Yuchen didn't ask her anything and just let her cry in his arms.

Hearing her cry, it was as if his heart was tightly gripped by a hand, and the pain was suffocating.

He had promised to protect the little girl for the rest of his life, but he had reneged on his promise and left the country by himself, never to return for the past few years.

However, there was nothing he could do …

He had been keeping an eye on the news in the country and on her, but news from abroad was often slower. By the time he found out that the Li family had gone bankrupt, it was already too late.

However, he couldn't wait to return. If what he owed could be made up for, he was willing to use his entire life to make up for it.

He was willing to spend the rest of his life to protect his little girl forever.

Li Yang was so exhausted from crying that he fell asleep on top of him.

Mu Yuchen put on his coat, hat and sunglasses, and carried her to the car parked not far away.

About a dozen meters away, a black Rolls-Royce was parked.

The rear window of the Rolls-Royce was wide open, and the man had a cigarette in one hand and a hand on the other.

His suit jacket had long since been tossed aside. He was wearing only a grey shirt with a few buttons undone. His tie was hanging loosely, and he looked to be in a leisurely state.

Only when one looked carefully would they be able to see that the man's beautiful peach blossom eyes were as cold as ice.

The old driver, who had been driving for many years and had suppressed his anger to the extreme, clearly felt the boss's displeasure and didn't dare to speak up.

After an unknown amount of time, the man finally spoke coldly, "Drive."

Mu Yuchen brought Li Yang to the car, but he still couldn't bear to let go of her. She just peacefully slept in his embrace.

Her sleeping face was very beautiful. Her pale, flawless skin revealed a faint blush. Her thin lips were like the petals of a rose, alluring and alluring.

Her eyes were tightly closed, and her eyelashes were as long as a fan. Mu Yuchen couldn't help but touch her eyelashes, as though she was feeling uncomfortable. Her eyelashes trembled slightly …

She was fast asleep, and when he tried to send her home he couldn't bear to wake her, so he took her back to his private apartment and put her on the bed.

Mu Yuchen carefully took off her shoes, pulled up the blanket, and called for a nanny to clean her body.

He sat on the sofa at the side, quietly watching her sleep. He didn't even want to blink, as if he wanted to make up for everything he hadn't seen for so many years.

Around one in the morning, the phone in her bag rang. Mu Chuchen didn't answer, but the phone rang again and again, patiently.

In the end, he still took out her phone from her bag. On it, two words kept jumping up and down: Mr. Lu.

Then, he muted his phone.

He put down his cell phone and sat back on the sofa. A faint smile appeared on his face once again. It seemed like he was talking to someone, but also to himself, "Mr Lu …"

The person on the bed seemed to be having a nightmare as he muttered something. Mu Yuchen leaned over, but couldn't hear him clearly even after listening for a long time.

He didn't know how terrible it had been in his dream, but Li Lang suddenly sat up from the bed. His eyes were wide open, but there was no trace of light in them.

Mu Yuchen called out to her a few times, but she didn't hear him. After a while, her eyes gradually became focused as she recovered and asked, "Yuchen gege, what time is it now?"

Mu Yuchen didn't tell Li Yang about the previous phone call, but his voice was still as gentle as ever. "Peng'er, it's still early, go to sleep."

He rubbed his forehead and got out of bed to get his cellphone. He wanted to check the time, but as soon as he opened it, he saw more than a dozen missed calls, all from the same person.

Li Yang's hand trembled, and his phone almost fell to the ground.

It was over. She had actually just fallen asleep and didn't hear the phone call.

If Lu Qimu knew, he would definitely not spare her.

Thinking of this, Li Yang hurriedly got off the bed and said to Mu Yuchen, "Yuchen gege, I'm really sorry. I don't know how I fell asleep, but I've caused you trouble."

Mu Yuchen smiled and caressed her hair as he said lovingly, "Peng'er, you've never been polite to me before."

When she was young, Li Yang loved Mu Yuchen touching her hair. Even after so many years, she still felt at ease, but …

She couldn't afford to offend Lu Qimu.

Li Yang picked up his bag and bid farewell to Mu Chuchen. "Sorry, Big Brother Chu Chen. I have to go back now. I'll contact you tomorrow."

Just as Li Yang was about to turn around and leave, Mu Chuchen grabbed his arm.

She raised her head and saw Mu Yuchen looking at her with a gentle expression. She called out to him, "Chuchen gege …"

Mu Yuchen wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end. It was as though he had thought for a long time. Finally, he made up his mind, "Let me send you back …"

Li Yang shook his head, "No need to trouble yourself. Big brother Chu Chen, I can leave by myself."

Mu Yuchen insisted on sending Li Yang off, but Li Yang didn't agree. She was truly afraid that Lu Qimu would find out that she and Chu Chen were a boy and a girl alone in the middle of the night.

At that time, even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she wouldn't be able to wash her face clean.

In the end, Mu Yuchen was helpless and could only allow her to leave. However, not long after Li Yang left, he couldn't help but follow her.

At least see her safely home.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to relax.

Li Yang got off the elevator and left the apartment. When he turned the corner, a slender black figure was leaning against the door, the fireworks between his fingers flickering.

The faint yellow light from the street lamp shone on his body, illuminating his breathtakingly handsome face, blurring and blurring it out, as if he was a character that had just walked out of a comic book.

Li Yang opened his eyes in horror after a single glance. He couldn't help but take a step back as he tightly gripped the straps of his bag with his hands.

That person was still leaning on the car door, smoking as if he didn't even look at her. "Get in."

Li Yang stood on the spot, not daring to move. His palms were so nervous that they were practically covered in sweat.

The man glanced at her indifferently. With a bone-piercing coldness in his voice, he asked, "What, are you waiting for me to do it myself?"

Li Yang took a deep breath, lowered his head and walked towards the car. When he walked past her, she discovered that his feet were filled with cigarette butts …

His fingertip could not help but tremble slightly. Just how long has he been here …

Li Yang tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart. He opened the door of the passenger seat and sat on the passenger seat nervously.

The man didn't move. After smoking for a while, he finally threw the cigarette butt on the ground and used his toes to slowly extinguish it.

Smoke rose from the man's thin lips and breath, and he sat in the driver's seat, his voice low against the night. "Have you had a good time?"

Li Yang dared not look at him. He lowered his head and tightened his grip on the bag.

The man didn't say anything else and just started the car and left.

Nearby, a figure hid within the gloomy darkness, curling his brows and laughing.

He had only wanted to follow her, to keep her safe and secure.

But he hadn't expected that he would see such a scene.

His Yang'er had grown up and was taken away by someone else. How could this be okay? She was the treasure in his hands …

The man drove very fast, and the lights and green belt outside the window gradually became a blur.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the man's expressionless face.

The man suddenly slammed on the brakes, and Li's body, driven forward by inertia, was quickly pulled back into place by the safety belt.

Her mind went blank. Before she could react, she was surrounded by a hot breath. The next second, she heard the sound of her seat belt being unbuckled.

Li Yang's blank mind exploded. He finally understood what was going on. His face was deathly pale as he looked at Lu Qimu. "Lu Qimu, don't …"

His hand went to the back of her head and his bony fingers dug into her hair. His voice actually had a touch of gentleness in it. "Hmm?"

This was the first time Li Yang heard his gentle voice, but she only felt it was weird and terrifying. She couldn't help but lean her head to the side and beg in a low voice, "Don't …"

Besides, it was on the side of the road …

Her body trembled at the thought that someone might see it.

"Li Yang …" He called her that, but his hand pulled down hard without any warning, pulling her face up.

The sudden pain made Li Yang cry out, "It hurts!"

Ruthlessness flitted across Lu Qimu's eyes as he asked icily, "You seem to have forgotten your identity?"

Her hair was pulled back, and she was forced to look at his face. It was as beautiful as if she had walked out of a comic book, but it was all an illusion.

Lu Qimu was truly a vile person, especially when facing her.

Li Yang's face was terrifyingly pale, and even his voice trembled when he opened his mouth. "I didn't …" "I didn't forget …"
