Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Seeing Bo Muyi again and just by looking at his face, Su Cha doubted the insightfulness of her previous self.
What was wrong with me? To give up on Bo Muyi and fall in love with Zhai Yao?
Perhaps she was afraid of Bo Muyi from the beginning because he seemingly emerged from nowhere. He seemed to know all her preferences and was always by her side. Although he always devoted himself to her silently, his meticulous care made Su Cha feel intimidated.
Sometimes, she could feel the aggressive madness in Bo Muyi’s gentle eyes, which appeared like the symptoms of paranoia that scared her off.
It was probably during that time that she decided to escape from Bo Muyi.
But now that she knew this man truly loved her, regardless of what really went through his mind, Su Cha would still find him adorable.
Seeing this person at this moment, she felt the urge to rush into his arms instantly, smelling the familiar scent of him, like last night when they were so intimate.
His body was stiff as a result of the embrace, but after a few seconds, he gradually softened down. He was not quite used to it, but he slowly hugged her back.
When he had fully wrapped her in his arms, Su Cha felt an instant satisfaction.
She had been living her entire previous life cautiously because taking one wrong step would prevent her from reaching the peak of her life.
Once one was used to taking precautions against others, it would be hard to slack off, not to mention to relax oneself completely.
The embrace of this man made her feel as though she was being protected by the whole world.
Until…
The feeling of being hugged tighter bothered Su Cha when it seemed as though she was being buried completely in his arms. It left her gasping for air. Hence, she had no choice but to pat Bo Muyi twice. “Let go of me, you’re wrapping me too hard…”
“Swish…”
Bo Muyi, who appeared to have come to his senses, quickly released her from his arms. His usual domineering self had lost his composure when facing the person in front of him.
Once he let go of her, he distanced himself further from Su Cha. A moment later, his thin lips started to move, saying, “Su Cha, I’m sor…”
“Why are you apologizing to me again? Is it because of what happened last night?”
Su Cha tilted her head, staring at him with her bright, gleaming eyes. It was Bo Muyi’s first encounter with such an enchanting and radiant side of Su Cha.
As for the incident last night, recalling some scenes unexpectedly caused Bo Muyi’s handsome face to redden a little. As he was about to say something, he unintentionally caught sight of the steamed meat dumplings on the table.
That was left behind by Zhai Yao because he’d stomped off so furiously.
Looking at the way Su Cha was dressed, he knew it was impossible for her to have purchased it on her own. It went without saying who had actually bought them for her.
Bo Muyi looked as though he thought of something all of a sudden. His eyes darkened, and he felt an inexplicable tension in his heart. It was an awful feeling, one that caused him to be irritated to the point of having murderous intent.
The aura of darkness surrounding him became increasingly stronger.
This was him, a person who might lose control of himself anytime when dealing with matters concerning Su Cha.
Especially when he came to the realization that Su Cha did not belong to him. The sense of jealousy almost killed him.
As he fixed his gaze on the table, a pair of slender hands swept past his face, causing him to alter his focus to a pair of serious eyes. “Bo Muyi, I ended my relationship with Zhai Yao this morning.”
Bo Muyi’s pupils constricted. An overwhelming joy engulfed his initial grumpiness. Out of curiosity, he, who was not in a position to voice out his opinions, further prompted, “Seriously?”
