One second… two seconds… three seconds…

Mo Yangyang froze, as if she had been stripped under the icy moonlight and left exposed to the cold wind on the street, turning her into a statue.

Xie Xize’s hand was so nice to look at. His nails were perfectly done. His fingers were slender, like some delicately crafted jewels.

Mo Yangyang definitely had no time to admire the man’s hand. She was already bursting into tears inside.

She suddenly recalled the scene five years ago, when he reached his hand out of the window holding a handkerchief and asked her to clean the door handle.

They had not met for five years. Since when did the reputable Fifth Elder Xie of Xiacheng become so kind-hearted?

Is he just messing around with me?

Mo Yangyang suppressed the fear in her heart. She told herself, It’s fine, he hasn’t recognized me yet. I can still brush it off.

Mo Yangyang lowered her head and waved her hand, indicating that she did not need it. She quickly rubbed her eyes with her hand.

She then nodded at Xie Xize to express her gratitude and tried to turn around.

However… she could not move!

Her left wrist was suddenly grabbed, preventing her from moving!

Xie Xize’s hand was dry and warm. Mo Yangyang’s wrist was thin and a little cold. Her sleeves were wet from the rain, since she had driven an electric scooter here.

Mo Yangyang trembled when her wrist was grabbed. It felt like her wrist was going to be burned by the heat from his palm.

Mo Yangyang subconsciously struggled to pull her hand back. His grip did not feel strong, yet she was having trouble breaking free.

The bodyguard had taken the takeaway from Xie Xie Xize before she had noticed. He was holding Mo Yangyang’s wrist with one hand and reaching his other hand with the handkerchief toward her face.

Mo Yangyang was so scared that she immediately turned her head away to avoid his hand. She thought, I’m going to die for sure. This is the end!

Mo Yangyang thought Xie Xize was going to take her mask off, but to her surprise, he only used the handkerchief to wipe the rain close to her eyes. He placed the handkerchief in her hand and let go of her wrist.

Mo Yangyang, “…”

Xie Xize’s grinned, “The rain is getting worse. Be careful when you drive.”

Mo Yangyang was dumbfounded. What had just happened?

Did he recognize me or not?

Could it be that Xie Xize was pitying her because she was still delivering takeaway, even though it was raining?

Xie Xize’s research was mostly related to bioengineering and biological medicine, and his successes had saved a lot of lives.

However, merciful was never the right word to describe him. What was he up to?

Mo Yangyang had no time to reflect on the man’s thoughts. She only wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

Mo Yangyang successfully escaped, but she clearly sensed that Xie Xize’s invasive gaze following her. The strange feeling finally disappeared after she turned the corner and left his vision.

The assistant and bodyguard were still lost in thought. They were even more shocked than Mo Yangyang.

Since when did Professor Xie, whose heart was as hard as a stone despite his friendly appearance, become so gentle and kind?

That being said, they both noticed that Xie Xize was in quite a good mood.

He said, “Put the takeaway down and follow her.”

The bodyguard replied dumbly, “What?”

Xie Xize glanced at the hand that had held Mo Yangyang’s wrist a moment ago. “It’s raining, the road might be dangerous.”
