Xia Luna glanced back at Lin Jian who pinched his thumb and forefinger together and pulled them over his lips like a zipper. She clenched her lips into a line and averted her gaze to Jiang Xingyu. "It’s still a bad thing. The more people know about , the harder it is for to remain in hiding."
Jiang Xingyu couldn’t agree more. This was about her safety and her lifeㄧand her freedom too.
"Xingyu, can we not et anymore?" She suddenly said solemnly. "Ever since I t you again, things that shouldn’t be happening have been happening one after another and..." she didn’t know what else to say and just sighed.
"Okay." Jiang Xingyu said.
"Okay?" Xia Luna was just as surprised as Madam Jiang and Lin Jian. The latter was quick to catch up and he had already understood that this was the girl Jiang Xingyu dated before. He had been blue for ages after she left and now that she asked to disappear again, he was saying yes without needing to be convinced?
"You don’t want to say that it’s okay?" Jiang Xingyu caressed her hair tenderly.
This ti, she didn’t slap it away. "I did want you to agree but... I’m just surprised you did."
"I know. I’m surprised too." Jiang Xingyu said honestly, taking advantage of the fact that she was not pushing him away to lean over and press a soft kiss onto her forehead. "But Xia, this is not just about my feelings. It’s about your safety and you’re right ever since we t again, we have had to explain your identity to more people. Who knows, there might be other people who saw you but didn’t ask."
This was for the best, so Jiang Xingyu knew that he would be acting unreasonably if he insisted on continuing to et up and spend ti together. "We can exchange text ssages or make phone calls. We can even have video calls once in a while. We would just have to ensure no one hacks into our phones and it will be alright. Besides, you promised that once all this is over, we would be together."
"Xia Luna’s eyes turned to crescents as she smiled. She did not expect Jiang Xingyu to suddenly utter such understanding words, considering his stubbornness streak recently. "Thank you for understanding, Xingyu."
He held her hand in his, rubbing it for the comfort of them both. "Anything for you, my love."
"What about we, the audience who have to be force-fed a round of this dog food that you are shoving at us?" The blabbermouth was at it again.
Madam Jiang slapped his shoulder and glared daggers at him. "Shush!"
"Aunty, why did you slap ?" Lin Jian complained. Having watched him grow up, Madam Jiang treated Lin Jian just like her son, and that included scolded or hitting him when he did wrong or was just being irritating like in this case.
"Can’t you see, they are making so progress in their relationship? We are happy for them so we should not interrupt them." Madam Jiang said, happy to watch her son display his affection for her future daughter-in-law.
Xia Luna felt embarrassed to have lost herself. "Can I go ho and sleep now?" She would kill anyone who said no.
No one was able to answer her on ti. She fell into a slumber, this ti a deep one and did not start even when Lin Jian’s phone rang in a loud volu.
"Take her to your room for a rest. She must have been so tired." Madam Jiang said to Jiang Xingyu. "I will go to the kitchen and prepare food for her to eat when she wakes up."
"For too."
"And !"
Jiang Xingyu and Lin Jian said at the sa ti like kids excitedly asking for candy.
"Nonsense! I’m only cooking for my daughter-in-law. You punks can go to your mothers-in-law and let them cook for you." Madam Jiang huffed her way to the kitchen.
"Make Li Yuming cook for ?" Jiang Xingyu muttered as he scooped Xia Luna in his arms. That thought was scary.
��Eer... which mother-in-law exactly?" Lin Jian stared in a daze. He should get rid of so of his innurable girlfriends already.

Jiang Xingyu rolled his body over and swung his naked body out of bed.
"Where are you going?" she asked lazily, tired from the activity they had just done.
"Get out."
Xia Luna blinked her eyes and stared into Jiang Xingyu’s angry ones. Why exactly was he mad at her? She stretched her limbs with a subtle smile. "What happened? You look scary."
"Didn’t you hear ? I said get out." He snarled coldly.
Xia Luna sat up on the bed with her eyes squinted. So she had heard right the first ti. He had asked her to get out. "I heard you but why?" she couldn’t help asking.
"Why else Xia Luna? Because we are done." He looked like he was getting angrier by the second.
"Done? Just like that? Done and dusted?"
"That’s what you wanted Xia Luna, now stop wasting my ti and get the heck out!"
Xia Luna flattered her eyelids and raised a hand to shield her eyes from the glaring sunlight. As soon as she was fully awake, her stomach grumbled. She was so hungry! She didn’t even rember when she fell asleep and was too lazy to get out of bed.
She was about to ask whether Cheng Yu had already left when she rembered where she was. She had fallen asleep in the Old Jiang Mansion. So this must be Jiang Xingyu’s room in the old mansion.
"You’re awake." Jiang Xingyu walked in with a change of clothes, asking her to wash up and go downstairs for breakfast.
Xia Luna rembered sothing, her cheeks flushing imdiately.
"What happened?" Jiang Xingyu stared at her curiously. Since when was Xia Luna capable of blushing?"
"Nothing." She was almost unable to look at him. What kind of dream was that?
Out of everything she could dream of, how could she dream about her and Jiang Xingyu having sex? As if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, how could she dream that he had dumped her after the act?"
