Chapter 481: Chapter 481 Warmth (1)_1

The quiet parlor was lit by a dim light, where two people gazed silently at each other.

Mo Yan, her head spinning, stared at the incredibly handsome man in black before her, still somewhat unable to grasp the situation. She never expected him to come find her in the middle of the night. She had so many questions she wanted to ask him. She wanted to know where he was hurt, to ask if he was fully healed, to ask if it was dangerous for him to come out like this, to ask him...

But when the words reached her lips and she looked into his eyes that were intently fixed on her, Mo Yan’s mind went blank. Only those deep eyes remained, deeply piercing her heart, unable to be shaken off!

Xiao Ruiyuan watched the person he’d been thinking of day and night with an almost greedy gaze. It took nearly all his self-control to suppress the impulse to hold her tightly in his arms and alleviate the longing he had felt for so many days.

God knew that during the more than five months at the border, throughout the hundred-plus days, how much he had wished to see her, and how panicked he became whenever he received no response to his letters. He couldn’t come to her and ask "Why," so he buried all his anxiety deep in his heart, focusing all his energy on devising a plan to defeat the Bai people, just so he could return in triumph to see her sooner.

Now, she was right in front of him, within reach, and it felt so good!

The two gazed quietly at each other for a long time. Though they hadn’t spoken a word, it was as if thousands of words were exchanged through their eyes, communicated directly to each other’s hearts.

Time passed, but eventually, it was Mo Yan who broke the silence in the room, "Your... are your wounds healed?"

Her tone was mild, yet the concern that came through was undeniably real, and Xiao Ruiyuan’s mood brightened further. A noticeable smile curved on his lips, unexpectedly causing someone to be momentarily dazed.

He chuckled softly, his magnetic and gorgeous voice carrying a lethal attraction, "I’m recovering very well; it won’t be much longer until I’m completely healed. Yanyan need not worry!"

Mo Yan, who had just been warming up with a smile, fell into his bewitching voice. By the time she regained her senses, her face couldn’t help but feel a bit hot. She looked down slightly, her eyes unsure where to rest.

Feeling embarrassed by her girlish behavior, Mo Yan felt rather irked. She lifted her head and glared at the chuckling person, gritting her teeth, "Don’t flatter yourself, who’s worried about you?"

As soon as the words were out, she wanted to bite off her own tongue. That didn’t sound like disdain at all; it sounded more like the petulant reproach of a lover!

Xiao Ruiyuan, of course, caught the undertone and gazed even more deeply at her, igniting two tiny flames in his eyes.

Mo Yan’s scalp tingled under his gaze, her face turning even redder as she grew increasingly uncomfortable. She stammered, "You... your wound isn’t healed, and you shouldn’t stand for too long. Do you... do you want to sit down and rest?"

Xiao Ruiyuan stared intently at her for quite a while, and finally, he stretched out his long legs and gracefully sat down on the cotton-padded sofa in the parlor, though his gaze never left Mo Yan for a moment.

With only the two of them in the parlor, the atmosphere was palpably strange. Mo Yan, constantly enveloped by the strong aura of that man, used making tea as an excuse to bolt from the parlor and ran into the kitchen in a near panic.

Xiao Ruiyuan watched her petite figure disappear into the night, and recalling her earlier reaction, his heart suddenly softened. His preceding worries also slowly vanished without a trace.

Yanyan did have feelings for him. The lack of a reply to his letters must be due to some unspeakable difficulties. He had to find out the reason; he couldn’t allow these messy affairs to become an obstacle between them!
