Chapter 80

Momo is now Wei Song's tutor, living in the apartment for servants next to the manor.

Since that morning when she saw Jaehyun, she hasn't had a chance to see him again. Jaehyun rarely comes to the mansion, after all this is Wei Xun's private residence.

The entire Wei family is quite respectful towards Momo, this tutor. She is more free than the servants in the house, without restrictions on where she can go, and often goes out for strolls.

On several occasions, she did see Jaehyun.

He stood in the boundless prairie, gazing north, where his hometown was.

When Jaehyun turned around and saw her, he would immediately leave.

Momo's neighbor is a girl who looks no older than sixteen, named Xiao Huai. She works as a maid in the big house, with the gossip and innocence typical of a young girl. She told Momo many things.

Mostly gossip about Wei Momo, saying how she was infatuated with Jaehyun, saying how Jaehyun fought in boxing rings every night, and was so skilled in martial arts, and also saying what a perfect match Wei Momo and Jaehyun were, like a prince and princess' love...

Most of the time, Momo just listened silently, without comment.

That day, she went to the market.

The market here had quite an exotic Southeast Asian feel. Because there was an important worship ceremony happening later, the market was very crowded, bustling with people.

Momo clearly felt someone grab her wrist.

She was slightly shocked, and instinctively wanted to shake them off, but the person didn't let go.

A warm, familiar feeling came from her wrist. Momo's heart started pounding rapidly, but she didn't have the courage to turn around.

The man was pressed against her back, his hot breath falling on the top of her head. She just heard his soft yet magnetic voice say, "Baby."

Momo suddenly squeezed his hand tightly.

"I'm here, don't be afraid, I'll take you back." Her voice trembled, her emotions barely held in check.

"That bastard Mingyu..." Jaehyun swore in a low voice, "When I get back, I'm going to kill him."

Momo lowered her head, tears swirling in her eyes.

His hand moved forward, encircling her waist.

In the crowded masses, the two held each other tightly, very inconspicuous. It was precisely because of this that Jaehyun dared to risk getting close to her.

He leaned in next to her ear, and said in a low voice, "Now that you're here, I can't easily persuade you to go back, right?"

Momo vigorously shook her head with tears in her eyes. "I won't, I won't leave you, I want to take you back!"

He let out a soft sigh, and tightened his hand, hugging her tightly, as if wanting to press her into his body.

He could hardly imagine where this girl, who had never traveled far from home alone, got the courage to take such risks and come to this dangerous place alone.

"Since I can't persuade you to go back, then stay," Jaehyun said helplessly. "Stay with me."

Momo looked back in surprise. She hadn't expected Jaehyun to agree so readily to letting her stay!

"Don't look back," he said.

So Momo immediately turned her head back around, facing forward at the bustling crowd.
