The pungent smell of her perfume dragged Kerry Ye to reality. He frowned, but he didn’t loosen his hand.
He gradually let her go. It was only then that he remembered her previous words and asked in a deep voice, “You said that you were going to get married?”
Hearing this, Xinyou was filled with sadness and she said sullenly, “My stepmother insisted that I marry a rich old man and I didn’t dare to refuse. She said that if I didn’t marry him, she would kick me out of the house...”
After hearing her words, Kerry felt sorry for her and he recalled her bringing lunch for him. Whenever he worked for too long, she would gently remind him to take a rest.
There was no denying that she was an extremely kind and gentle girl.
Kerry stretched out his hand to place on her shoulder, saying in a gentle tone, “I’m going to meet with your stepmother to stop her.”
Hearing this, Xinyou was worried about how to make up for her lies. And of course, she wouldn’t let him meet her stepmother.
Xinyou raised a smile of gratitude, but her tone was full of loss, “Forget it, I’ve actually said ‘no’. I’ve thought about it, the worst situation is to stay in a hotel or just stay on the street. I’m used to it.”
Looking at her, Kerry felt his heart ache, while his big hand covering her small hand and said lightly, “Hotels are not safe. The street is too dangerous. There are plenty of rooms in my house and you can stay there for now.”
Xinyou looked stunned, but she was filled with excitement inwardly. She lowered her head and said, “This is not good, my identity...what if Venus misunderstands?”
When Kerry heard her mention Venus, his attitude changed and said indifferently, “You are a guest, she doesn’t dare to say anything.”
Hearing this, Xinyou looked bright and smiling as she gently said, “Kerry, thank you.”
Seeing her look change too quickly, Kerry felt a little strange, but he soon forgot it.
Perhaps he thought too much.
After returning home from work, when Venus was having dinner, she accidentally learned that Kerry didn’t come home, so she went back to her room. She didn’t know that Kerry was driving Xinyou on his way to Ye’ s house, and her life would become miserable because of Xinyou’ s intervention.
...
The next morning
With the alarm ringing on time, Venus opened her eyes in a daze and got out of bed to wash up. Just then, she heard the sound of the door opening and Venus guessed that it was Mrs Qin coming to remind her to eat, and said, “Mrs. Qin, I will go down immediately.”
At that moment, a familiar face suddenly appeared on the mirror, scaring her. she thought that she was hallucinating, and subconsciously called out, “Xinyou.”
After turning around, she saw her.
Xinyou snorted, slowly approaching her. At an extremely close distance, she said softly, “Surprised, are you? Wanna ask why I show up here so early in the morning?”
Xinyou was shocked and she was about to say something when a footstep came from outside the door, and it was Kerry.
“What happened?” Kerry heard the sound, so he came to see what was going on.
When he saw Venus’s bloodied right hand, he frowned and he immediately shouted in a deep voice, “Uncle Wang! Hurry up and get the medical kit!”
Uncle Wang rushed in response. Seeing Venus’s arm, he was shocked and rushed to open the medical kit, taking out the gauze and scissors. Then he came in front of Venus and acted skillfully to bandage it.
After the bandage, Venus’s arm temporarily stopped bleeding. Kerry asked them with an indifferent look, “What just happened?”
Without waiting for Venus to speak, Xinyou carefully said, “I came to Venus, and she asked me why I was here, so I said... I’m living here for now.”
Kerry looked at Venus, seeing that she didn’t say a word and he asked coldly, “Really?”
Xinyou made a gesture to wipe away her tears and said with a sad tone, “I understand her. If I were Venus, I would be uncomfortable too. I’m sorry and I’ll leave right away!”
Xinyou turned around and was ready to leave, but she was stopped by someone. When she looked back, she saw Kerry’s face, only to hear, “Stay here. You don’t need to go anywhere.”
