Professor Xie…
Mo Yangyang felt her mind going blank as if she was struck by lightning!
Was…was her luck really that bad?
Maybe…maybe…it’s someone with the same surname?
“Why can’t I be back?”
Mo Yangyang felt like she had suddenly fallen into an ice cellar when she heard the cold voice behind her. Her last glimpse of hope had shattered into pieces.
She had an urge to find a hole and hide inside.
The weather was not great today, it had been drizzling when Mo Yangyang left the restaurant. She was wearing a blue raincoat, and the water from it was dropping silently on the carpet.
No one said a word. No one dared to make a single noise. It was deadly quiet.
The atmosphere had intensified all of a sudden. It felt weird.
Mo Yangyang was still holding the takeaway boxes.
The order was for around five or six people. She was holding more than a dozen takeaway boxes. They were quite heavy.
However, Mo Yangyang’s hands were surprisingly stable.
Her wrists were hurting a little from the plastic bag strapping tightly around them, but she could no longer feel the pain.
She only sensed a greater danger from behind. An invisible bottomless abyss was approaching her. It was going to devour her in no time!
What…what should I do?
Mo Yangyang had a feeling that she would never escape from her tough luck for the rest of her life. She had barely escaped from the hospital a few days ago, and today, she had presented herself instead!
Xie Xize did not bring all his bodyguards when he went out today. Those that stayed in the room decided to order some takeaway while their boss was out.
Even though the food was cooked by five-star chefs with the best ingredients whenever their boss was around, they were too light, since their boss was concerned about eating healthy food.
To their surprise, their boss had returned just as the takeaway had arrived.
The bodyguard swallowed his saliva. He could smell the aroma of the food. He was so hungry. He had an urge to burst into tears…
However, he did not dare accept the food.
The bodyguard stammered, “No…we… we just didn’t expect you to be back so soon…”
Mo Yangyang suddenly felt a strong pressure when a shadow loomed over her.
Her body had completely frozen. She did not dare to move. Her heart was about to jump out of her mouth.
He was here. He was standing right beside her. Thousands of horses were galloping in Mo Yangyang’s heart.
Xie Xize glanced over the blue raincoat, “And these are…”
The pleasant yet terrifying voice that Mo Yangyang was familiar with was looping between her ears. It was like a sharp blade hanging right on top of her head. It would fall at any second to slice her head off.
Mo Yangyang bit her lips. She was afraid that she would burst into tears in the next second.
The bodyguard said, “Ah… we… we are a little hungry… so we ordered some takeaway…”
Mo Yangyang kept telling herself. Calm down, she had to stay calm. She was wearing a mask, and her head was covered by the raincoat. Xie Xize would never recognize her. She had to stay calm.
Xie Xize would never care about a takeaway delivery girl. He was proud and aloof.
That’s right, just be calm, hang in there!
Mo Yangyang held her ground in the nick of time. Her legs did not weaken, nor was she lacking in confidence.
She only had to remember one thing: don’t talk!
To her surprise, Fifth Elder Xie was behaving unexpectedly today.
Mo Yangyang sensed a dangerous gaze staring at her. Her blood immediately ran cold. Every second was a torture for her.
Mo Yangyang swallowed, just as a voice suddenly said above her, “Are they heavy?”
