Chapter 684: Chapter 684: Confession

Lin Mengyao looked somewhat surprised at the two people who had returned together; she glanced at the time to make sure she was not mistaken.

"Why are you two back together? It’s so late." Wearing pajamas, Lin Mengyao walked over and said to Yu Xia in confusion, "Why are you dressed like this? It’s so late. Are you planning to go out?"

"Something happened to her room. Let her sleep with you tonight; I’ll sleep on the sofa outside," Xu Ke glanced at Yu Xia and said.

Yu Xia kept her head down without speaking, not opposing Xu Ke’s decision. The unusual atmosphere between them made Lin Mengyao feel a bit strange.

"I have no problem with Xiaxia sleeping here, but I want to know what happened. Why do you two look so strange?" Lin Mengyao’s eyes kept shifting between the two of them.

"Let her tell you herself," Xu Ke said, looking at Yu Xia, his face expressionless, as if he was quite angry.

"What happened exactly, Xiaxia?"

"Just ran into a little trouble," Yu Xia said, somewhat guiltily; she didn’t want Lin Mengyao to worry.

"Is that a little trouble? If I hadn’t gone out just now, if I hadn’t bumped into you, do you know what could have happened? Why didn’t you tell us when you encountered something like this? What if I hadn’t found out today, and couldn’t find you at the hotel tomorrow, or saw you on the news some future day? What should your sister and I do?"
