Li Xiao didn’t bother with formalities and simply strode in.

Li Jinnan didn’t reside there often. Compounded with the fact that he had been extremely busy over the past few days, the sitting room was in a bit of a mess.

Ye Youyou was a little embarrassed and said, “We haven’t had the time to tidy up the place. Uncle, please make do.”

Li Xiao looked around and said, “It’s fine. You won’t be staying here in the future anyway.”

Um…

Ye Youyou couldn’t make out the underlying meaning of his words. She could only look toward Li Jinnan pleadingly for help.

Li Jinnan stepped forward and gently said, “Don’t be afraid. My dad isn’t fierce.”

Indeed, he wasn’t fierce. But at one glance, he certainly struck an imposing figure. It was the feeling she had when had first met Li Jinnan. It was a feeling of distance and aloofness.

Ye Youyou pursed her lips and glanced at Li Xiao subconsciously. In a tiny voice, she asked, “Do you have water at home?”

“You’re scared of my father?” Li Jinnan chuckled as a mischievous glint appeared in his eyes. “Am I scarier or is my dad scarier?”

Ye Youyou saw that he was teasing her and started to get annoyed. She reached out to pinch his arm and said, “Stop fooling around. Your dad is watching. I’ll check if there’s anything to drink.”

With that, Ye Youyou turned and left.

Li Jinnan turned back to his father and asked, “Dad, what are you doing here?”

Li Xiao was standing with his hands behind his back. He didn’t take a seat. When he heard that question, he harrumphed and replied, “I am here to check if you’re still alive! I heard that your girlfriend was being imprisoned and you were trying to get her out. Is this another one?”

Li Jinnan looked at Li Xiao and laughed sheepishly. He responded, “Bad news travels fast indeed. Did you find out about it from Mom?”

“Don’t change the subject!” Li Xiao lowered his voice. His tone carried an indescribable sense of sternness when he growled, “If you dare to behave promiscuously, I’ll break your damn legs!”

“I wouldn’t dare to!” Li Jinnan rubbed his nose and replied, “It’s this very one here. She was framed by someone and was in prison for a few days. She just got out.”

Li Xiao sat down and dubiously looked at Li Jinnan. “How did she get arrested in the first place?”

Li Jinnan gave his father a brief rundown of the whole matter, making sure to omit a few details. First, that the “real” murderer was Ye Youyou’s ex-husband. Second, that Ye Youyou had been released early because she was pregnant.

Li Xiao’s brows scrunched together as he asked, “Is that all there is to it?”

Li Jinnan nodded his head. As he looked at his father’s expression, the hair at his nape stood on its ends. He thought, Has he found out something?

“Why did I hear that this girlfriend of yours was divorced before?” Li Xiao asked.

His words made Li Jinnan’s heart sink. He had found out.

Li Jinnan thought for a moment and carefully weighed his words before replying, “That’s true. A while back, she was cheated by someone and underwent a marriage for show. They were married only in name and nothing else.”

Li Xiao had heard about it. When he heard Li Jinnan’s confirmation, he nodded his head.

Ye Youyou was hiding in a corner. Her heart was beating in her throat as she overheard their conversation. Only after she calmed herself down did she slowly make her way out.

She had boiled some iced mineral water. When she found some tea leaves that Li Jinnan kept in the kitchen, she conscientiously brewed it before bringing it out.

Carrying the tea out, Ye Youyou pretended that she hadn’t heard their exchange and said, “Uncle, please have some tea.”

When Li Xiao sniffed the scent of the tea leaves, he knew immediately that it belonged to Li Jinnan. His eyes darted toward his son as he replied, “Thank you, Miss Ye.”

Ye Youyou was a little nervous and smiled dryly. “You’re welcome,” she answered as she proceeded to sit beside Li Jinnan.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
