    "What’s wrong? Didn’t you feel how dangerous it was at the station just now? The safety here is iparable to that of Liang City. A girl traveling alone like you is an easy target for thieves. And you even dare to go to a hotel by yourself, aren’t you afraid someone might break into your room at midnight?"

    Ling Chuxia listened to Bai Yixuan’s words in a daze, her eyes moving slowly, blinking her big eyes before she finally began to speak, "No, it can’t be, right?"

    "You, have you never been out before? Don’t you have any sense of danger?"

    Before?

    Before... she indeed rarely went out. The only time she traveled far was when she went on her honeymoon with Shi Che. At that time, Shi Che took her to Pulomansi, where there were vast fields of beautiful flowers, a whole purple world, romantic and elegant.

    Unfortunately... that honeymoon ended with the two of them parting on bad terms. Shi Che suddenly became very angry and left her to return to the country alone. She hadn’t recovered from the romantic setting before her rtionship with Shi Che had rapidly deteriorated into a stalemate.

    And to this day, she still hadn’t been able to figure out why Shi Che got so angry, why he suddenly treated her that way.

    Ling Chuxia didn’t speak, her expression vacant, her gaze slightly dazed, as if she were recalling something. Bai Yixuan sighed upon seeing her like this.

    It seemed that he really needed to find some time to properly understand Xiaxia’s experiences over the years.

    But for now...

    Bai Yixuan furrowed his brows in thought, then suddenly had an idea, stood up abruptly, and with one hand grabbed Ling Chuxia’s suitcase and with the other took her hand, said decisively, "Come, follow me."

    Ling Chuxia was still pondering past events when Bai Yixuan suddenly did this, startling her. She was pulled along for several steps before she finally came to her senses and quickly said, "Brother Xuan, where... where are you taking me?"

    Bai Yixuan didn’t answer. Instead, he led Ling Chuxia out of the coffee shop, hailed a taxi, opened the door, and stuffed Ling Chuxia into the car. Then, he put the suitcase in the trunk and also got in the car, instructing the driver, "Yi Garden."

    Upon receiving the order, the car started and slowly merged into the traffic.

    Ling Chuxia sat in the car for a while before she recovered from Bai Yixuan’s series of swift actions. Her eyes widened, "Brother Xuan, where are we actually going?"

    Bai Yixuan smiled at Ling Chuxia, his thin lips parting, each word deliberate, "My ce!"

    "What?"

    -

    Yi Garden was located in the city center, a high-end apartmentplex with tight security andplete surrounding facilities.

    Bai Yixuan led Ling Chuxia all the way to the entrance of his apartment. His fingers tapped on the password lock, there was a beep, and the door opened. Bai Yixuan, carrying Ling Chuxia’s suitcase, walked in first. After several steps, without hearing footsteps behind him, he paused and nced back to see Ling Chuxia still standing at the entrance, motionless, her expression somewhat restrained.

    Bai Yixuan couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing. He put down the suitcase, turned around, and walked back to Ling Chuxia, his dark eyes looking down at her intently, "Come in. What are you doing standing at the door?"

    Ling Chuxia, however, frowned slightly, her dark eyes ncing inside several times, hesitant, "It doesn’t seem right. If I stay at your ce, what will your family think?"
