“Do you know? Fan Yu found out that Mo Qian is actually my father. I remembered that he’s my father too. But, today when he saw me, he actually tried to kill me…”

As she talked about this, Nian Xiaomu sniffed her nose slightly and became rather upset.

From her memories, her father had loved her dearly.

No matter what she did, her father had never got angry with her.

Sometimes, when she was disobedient and her mother berated her, her father would always shield her and said that whatever his little princess did was always right.

In the end, he angered her mother who remarked that she would definitely be spoilt by her father in the future.

Why would a father who loved her so dearly want to kill her?

Nian Xiaomu still could not understand.

She had thought that the one who wanted her life would be Mo Yongheng, but when she saw Mo Qian with her own eyes, she could not believe what she had seen.

Just thinking about it in detail made her head ache.

The car finally arrived at the Yu Family villa.

Throughout the ride, Yu Yuehan had not spoken a single word to her.

The moment they arrived, he woke up.

After pushing the car door open, he headed inside the villa.

With his tall figure and slender legs, each step he made was rather huge.

Nian Xiaomu had to do a short jog to catch up with him.

She couldn’t possibly have the nerve to nag him to slow down now like she usually did.

As they made their way into the villa, the maids inside had their eyes fixed on them.

Especially on Nian Xiaomu who was following behind Yu Yuehan.

Their look of astonishment seemed to express how they could not believe that their Young Mistress, who had just escaped, had the nerve to come back.

Many of these maids were looking at her with a gaze full of pity as if she had come back not because she wanted to, but because she had been caught by Yu Yuehan and brought back to be given a beating.

Nian Xiaomu was getting goosebumps all over from being stared at.

She was terrified!

With such fear within her, she entered the mansion.

Neither Grandma nor Xiao Liuliu was around.

The massive villa was completely empty.

Nian Xiaomu did not dare to talk to Yu Yuehan first, and could only follow behind him quietly. Seeing as he was about to head upstairs, she started to follow him up as well.

But, just when he reached the stairway, he abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Nian Xiaomu could not stop in time and simply knocked right into him.

The impact was so huge that she took a few steps back in shock.

Her legs started to slip and she was about to fall to the ground.

“Ah!”

The moment her scream was let out, Yu Yuehan had already reached out to grab onto her shoulders, helping to steady her.

He swept her a chilly glance.

“Weren’t you exceptionally quick when you ran out of the church? Why can’t you walk properly now when you’re back at the Yu Family villa?”

“…”

Nian Xiaomu drooped her head and remained silent as she listened to his lecture since she was the one at fault now.

She thought to herself that he was finally scolding her.

If he was still not going to scold her, she was going to die from the cold attitude he had.

She would rather he lashed out at her than ignore her like he was doing.

It was terribly hard to bear.

Yu Yuehan asked her, “Do you know why there’s no one in the villa?”

“…”

Nian Xiaomu raised her head, blinking her huge eyes as she stared at him.

She was unable to react for a moment.

Yu Yuehan’s lips curled coldly as he remarked, “That’s because Grandma prepared a family banquet for you this afternoon, and wanted to formally introduce you to all the elders of the Yu Family at the ancestral shrine.”

“…”

Nian Xiaomu’s gaze fell and her eyes instantly flashed with guilt.

As the wedding had been canceled at the last minute, Grandma was definitely busy explaining to the elders of the Yu Family.

She had not taken today’s matter into consideration properly.

She was simply worried about Tan Bengbeng and had forgotten that by leaving the wedding just like that, it wasn’t just as simple as making up another wedding ceremony.

“Yu Yuehan, if we go to the family banquet now, will we be able to make it in time?” An idea seemed to have sparked in Nian Xiaomu’s head as she abruptly raised her head, looking at him with her sparkling eyes which were full of sincerity.
