CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 62 THE SECRET ON LUOLUO 1

It’s just a pity that Ou Jue didn’t even spare her a glance, completely ignoring Xia Shiyi...

Pfft.

Xiyan stifled a laugh.

She didn’t know why, but watching Xia Shiyi try to curry favor with Ou Jue again and again, only to be humiliated each time, felt incredibly satisfying.

After the Xia Family left, the villa returned to its usual tranquility.

Xiyan poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Ou Jue with a flattering smile, her voice carrying a hint of giddy excitement. "Ou Jue... Were you standing up for me just now? Thank you!"

Ou Jue had already opened his laptop and was working.

Upon hearing Xiyan’s words, his hands, which were typing away briskly on the keyboard, paused for a brief moment.

He turned his head to look at Xiyan.

That sharply defined face, every line seemingly sculpted meticulously by God.

Seeing him so up close made him look even more impossibly handsome.

Xiyan scratched her chin awkwardly, speaking with self-awareness, "Uh, I know you’re going to say I’m overthinking it again. Actually, you just don’t like Xia Shiyi, right? It wasn’t about defending me, was it?"

Ou Jue didn’t rush to refute her. Instead, he looked at her with deep, unreadable eyes, his thin lips parting slightly as he softly called her name, "Xia Xiyan."

"Huh?"

"From now on, don’t let others step on you so readily."

After speaking, Ou Jue’s gaze returned to the laptop screen, his slender fingers resuming their command of the system...

It was such an ordinary sentence, but Xiyan found her heartbeat suddenly spiraling out of control.

It was getting faster and faster.

Ahhhh, what was happening to her?

The quiet room was making her worried that Ou Jue might hear the erratic pounding of her heart.

Xiyan quickly cleared her throat to shift the topic. "What are you doing?"

After speaking, she leaned in for a look.

Wow, he makes it seem so sophisticated!

"Ou Jue, you seem really skilled when it comes to computers. Do you happen to know about a legendary hacker named 07?"

Ou Jue’s voice was devoid of any emotion. "I do."

"Let me tell you, I’ve always..." adored him.

Before she could finish her sentence, they heard the hurried sound of Butler Li running down the stairs. "Young Master, something’s wrong..."

Ou Jue and Xiyan turned to look almost simultaneously.

Butler Li was professionally trained and already in his fifties, a seasoned and reliable butler.

He almost never appeared flustered.

"The young master just woke up and kept asking for Miaomiao, but we’ve searched the entire villa and can’t find her. Miaomiao is gone!"

Ou Jue’s expression darkened immediately. He closed his laptop and bolted upstairs.

As soon as he entered Luoluo’s room, he heard the panicked voices of the maids...

"Young Master, you can’t do that..."

"Quick, grab the scissors—it’s too dangerous..."

Xiyan came rushing in after him, and the moment she stepped in, she froze in shock, her eyes wide.

The usually adorable and playful little angel, Luoluo, looked like a completely different person at this moment!

His small, frail body was huddled in the corner, a pair of scissors clutched tightly in his hands.

Even his gaze was nothing like usual—it was distant and impenetrable, pushing everyone away.

"Ou Xiaoluo!" Ou Jue called out to him, his voice laced with tension.

Luoluo’s typically sweet, childlike voice now carried a faint but unmistakable resistance. "Don’t come near me!"

Xiyan stood by the doorway, utterly bewildered...

Was this really Luoluo?

What on earth... had happened to him?
