Chapter 1037: I'm Not Afraid of You

First, he didn’t know the password to Chu Yao’s home.

Second, Ye Wanting had just been through an ordeal, and might not welcome seeing a man.

Moreover, what identity would he use to appear before her at this time?

Should he say, look, I flew back from Capital City overnight just for you?

You should remember this favor?

Why should she?

Simply creating a psychological burden for her?

From any perspective, it was inappropriate for him to go inside.

Yaen Chi soon calmed down, walked to the safety passage, and lit a cigarette in the dark corridor.

He stayed awake with red eyes until dawn.

He still couldn’t resist asking Lu Zhenzhen for the password.

He was prepared to be scolded, but Lu Zhenzhen didn’t ask anything, just sent him the password directly.

Yaen Chi thought he’d just go in, take a look at her and leave.

The sound of the door opening was very quiet, even the clinking of the lock was subtle.

Yaen Chi took off his shoes, didn’t change into other ones, and tiptoed inside.

He hadn’t been to Chu Yao’s home before, but its layout was identical to Nan Jiaojiao’s upstairs.

He guessed Ye Wanting must be in the second bedroom, so he headed there, but suddenly stopped when he passed the sofa, turning to see the girl looking at him from the sofa.

“Wanting?” Yaen Chi straightened his bent waist, “You haven’t slept?”

Ye Wanting sat on the sofa hugging her knees, her back pressed against a cushion tightly.

She was looking up, not crying, her little face showing no signs of tears, just staring at him blankly.

Her gaze shifted from tense to gradually relaxed, and when she spoke, it was still taut, “Brother Chi?”

“It’s me,” Yaen Chi stood there without moving, maintaining some distance with her, “You’re not telling me you stayed up all night just sitting here?”

“I slept, but couldn’t really sleep, got up to drink some water, and then just sat here ever since.”

Yaen Chi was going to ask, where’s the water, but then saw the almost untouched cup of water on the coffee table.

He held back his words, and reconsidered before speaking: “I know everything now.

I asked Miss Lu for the password, didn’t intend to wake you, just came to check on you.

If you were still asleep, I would have left.”

Afraid she wouldn’t believe him, he carefully explained: “I really didn’t plan to do anything.”

Ye Wanting continued staring at him, even blinking slower than usual, in a daze, obviously still not adjusted from the terror she’d experienced.

Yaen Chi felt a stabbing pain in his heart.

It fucking hurts.

Right now, he felt like dismembering that damn Tan.

“Did you, did you have dinner yesterday?

Are you going to have breakfast later?

Are you hungry now?

If you really can’t sleep, I know a place that serves nice breakfast, I can have them deliver some.

I’m hungry too, I can eat with you, then you can go sleep.

Sleeping after eating can be more effective.”

Yaen Chi didn’t want things to be awkward, with the atmosphere stagnating, so he started searching for words, genuinely pulling out his phone ready to call.

Ye Wanting’s eyes shifted lightly from his phone to his face.

“Brother Chi.”

Ye Wanting called him gently, “You don’t need to be like this, I’m not afraid of you.”

Yaen Chi’s breath caught in his throat, causing his eyes to turn red, tracing streaks of blood, his lips curled slightly as he forced a carefree smile, “Your brother is a bad guy, here I am, you’re really not scared?”

Ye Wanting stared at him without blinking, firmly saying: “I’m not scared.”

Yaen Chi’s Adam’s apple moved, stuck for a moment, then he pressed his tongue hard against the inside of his mouth.

“Alright.”
