"What's the matter?" Ye Sijue said in a pleasant voice as he reached out to brush her messy bangs to the side.
Snapping out of it, Mo Xiaomeng's soft, cherry lips pursed and smiled. She shook her head and said, "Nothing. I just thought that you were… very handsome, and I can't help but to take a few more looks at you."
Indeed, he was really handsome. Even if she had seen so many handsome guys of all kinds ever since she was young, she still thought that he was very handsome. He was so handsome that it stirred her heart.
Ye Sijue's eyebrow raised slightly. Looking skeptical, he looked into her eyes and said, "You're suddenly complimenting me. Do you have something you want to ask me to help you with?"
"Nope." Mo Xiaomeng shook her head. What else could she ask for? During the time she had been staying with him, he had been perfect in planning everything for her, letting her have a pleasant and enjoyable time.
Her experiences in China were something she would never forget.
Ye Sijue suddenly turned to her and said, "But there is something I would like you to help with."
Mo Xiaomeng stared blankly. Puzzled, she asked, "Ah? How can you have something you need my help with?"
Ever since she met him, she thought that there was nothing that he couldn't accomplish. How could he have something he needed her help with?
Ye Sijue looked down, grabbed her fair, little hand in his large hand, holding it tightly.
He said, "I have to go overseas for a business trip tonight. I want you to accompany me."
He would not be at ease leaving her behind alone. Even if Xiaoxiao hadn't lost her memory, he still wouldn't have left her in someone else's hands. He wanted to take her along with him and take care of her himself.
Somewhere along the line, he had already taken her to be someone he was responsible for.
"A business trip? Where are you going for your business trip?" Mo Xiaomeng's eyebrows furrowed, looking troubled.
She was going to leave in a few days' time…
However, she still hadn't thought about how she should broach the matter with him. Every time she wanted to talk about it, her throat felt as though it were choked by something, and she wasn't able to come out with it.
Moreover, she was only thinking of going back for a few days this time. She would come back to China again in time for Xiaoxiao's birthday, so she would just be leaving for a few days.
However, after Xiaoxiao's birthday, she would still have to go back home, and she wouldn't be coming back to China.
It was this matter that she didn't know how to tell him.
Ye Sijue replied, "I'm going to America."
Mo Xiaomeng's eyes were startled, "America?"
What a coincidence?
She was also planning on returning to America. If this was the case, then wouldn't that mean she was immediately going back home?
Ye Sijue could see that she was somewhat unwilling, probably because she was reluctant to part with Xiaoxiao so he explained, "It'll only be for two or three days. No more than one week. When we come back, Xiaoxiao should have her memories back."
Mo Xiaomeng wasn't worried about this but how she should be telling him about her needing to go back home.
Seeing that she was still hesitating, his stern brows furrowed, and he said uncompromisingly, "Even if you don't want to go, I have already had someone book your ticket, so you have to accompany me."
Why was she so unwilling to accompany him?
Or could it be that in her heart, Mu Xiaoxiao had always been more important than him?
Thinking about this, Ye Sijue felt unpleasant inside though he knew that it was quite ridiculous for him to be jealous of Xiaoxiao.
