m. Mei'er quickly followed them, and Gao Peng did not dare to stop them again. As for others, they naturally wouldn't intervene either. They could only watch as the three people led Cai Pengcheng away...Chapter 1089: You Holding Me Won't Be Cold

Summer ran very fast, dashing down the road at breakneck speed. In the past, others might have seen a shadow when he was running on the street, but now, given his speed, even if an ordinary person saw him, it would only be as a fleeting breeze brushing past.

Previously, when A Ji drove Summer from Xiangxue Lake to the seaside villa, it took more than half an hour. But now, with just minutes, Summer had already run back. As soon as he entered the Xiangxue Lake villa area's gate, he saw a white figure standing quietly at the entrance of his own villa not far away.

"Mimi, you're already here..." Summer immediately rushed over and said, but before he could finish speaking, this white figure had turned around.

Summer couldn't continue his sentence; he blankly stared at the woman in white in front of him, as if in a daze.

The woman in white smiled faintly upon seeing Summer's somewhat stunned expression and then asked softly, "What’s wrong Don’t you recognize me"

Summer remained silent, his gaze unwavering on this woman in white, staring at her as if to see through her completely. Of course, in reality, he could see her clearly just by looking once; even though it was nighttime, there were lights outside the Xiangxue Lake villa area, and with his eyesight, without any light, he would still be able to see anyone very clearly in the dark.

"I’ve been waiting for half an hour. You’re back but don’t say a word. Do you not want to see me" The woman in white was getting slightly annoyed and said, "If that's the case, I’ll leave."

The moment the white-robed woman spoke, she immediately felt her waist being tightened by a pair of strong arms. A familiar manly scent assaulted her senses. After several months, this man had once again embraced her, but things seemed different now.

"Meimei, don't even think about running away; I won’t let you go," Xia Tian muttered as he tightly held onto the white-robed woman.

The white-robed woman was naturally Song Yumei. To Xia Tian, her appearance wasn’t a coincidence. He had rushed back from Yi Xiaoyin’s place specifically to see Song Yumei. However, when he saw her in that moment, his mind almost went blank because it seemed as if the person standing before him was not Song Yumei but his most beloved Fairy Sister!

The same white robe, identical to what his Fairy Sister wore with no differences at all, equally exquisite and ethereal like a fairy. The exact same hairstyle and attire made Xia Tian even more surprised when he realized that Song Yumei had the very same aura as his Fairy Sister. Apart from her looks, she was an absolute copy of his Fairy Sister—or rather, the version from sixteen years ago!

Actually, in Xia Tian’s eyes, there were some differences between Song Yumei and his current Fairy Sister. After sixteen years had passed, his Fairy Sister had grown more mature; if her younger self was a somewhat immature fairy, then now she was an entirely matured fairy maiden. Her hairstyle from sixteen years ago also differed slightly from the present one—her hair was longer than before. The aura she emitted seemed to have changed in Xia Tian’s memory.

Sixteen years ago, his Fairy Sister's aura resembled that of a celestial being, noble and seemingly gentle but actually distant; now, however, he felt differently towards her due to the change in their relationship. Even though she remained as noble as ever, she no longer gave him that sense of distance.

But when Xia Tian first saw Song Yumei, an instant feeling struck him, as if he had been transported back sixteen years and was seeing his Fairy Sister for the very first time. No matter her appearance or aura, or even the sense of nobility mixed with a certain detachment from him—Song Yumei mirrored exactly what his Fairy Sister was like sixteen years ago!

Deep in Xia Tian’s heart, there had always been a secret, one that not even his Fairy Sister knew. That is to say, when he was young and still lacked the ability to keep his beloved Fairy Sister by his side, he constantly worried that she would leave him.

When Xia Tian saw Song Yumei during the summer, this secret hidden in his heart resurfaced. However, this time around, he no longer felt worried because he now had enough strength to ensure that Song Yumei would belong to him forever and wouldn't leave.

"Let's go inside first," Song Yumei said softly. Although her voice was gentle as always, she couldn’t calm herself down, as her mind was in turmoil.

The reason for her dressing up the way she did when appearing before Xia Tian wasn't accidental but intentional. Now that she had realized it, Aunt Mei turned out to be right; if she appeared in front of Xia Tian dressed this way, then she would become another Yue Qingya, one who could make Xia Tian infatuated with her and willing to do anything for her.

The situation was unfolding according to her plan. Logically, she should feel happy about it, but she found herself unable to be truly happy because she felt like she had become a substitute for Yue Qingya now. And she didn’t want to be someone's replacement. She was Song Yumei, the independent and unique Song Yumei in Beijing; she wanted to exist as Song Yumei rather than another version of Yue Qingya.

"Honey, have you had dinner" Xia Tian suddenly asked her then.

"Nope. But I think I should go inside first and rest a while. It’s only seven now. We can still eat later," Song Yumei shook her head softly in reply. She truly hadn’t eaten yet, but she didn't feel like eating at the moment either.

"Alright then. Let's go inside." Xia Tian kept holding onto Song Yumei and looked reluctant to let her go. However, he did open the door and quickly entered the villa with her, where they sat together on the sofa in the living room.

"Have you been staying here all these days" As she glanced around the place, Song Yumei asked Xia Tian softly.

"Yes, I mostly lived here when I was in Wànggǎng City."

Song Yumei asked again, "Are you alone"

Summer shook his head and said, "Nope, there's also my miserly wife!"

Song Yumei was a bit confused, "Your miserly wife Who are you talking about"

Summer replied, "It’s Ning Jie, someone you know." Now he would answer every question Song Yumei had.

"So she is still alive," muttered Song Yumei softly. Seeing this villa and hearing that Ning Jie was still alive made her suddenly understand many things. She now confirmed that the news previously sent back to the Song family by Song Xiong must have been fake; Summer didn’t live a miserable life here, in fact, he lived quite well with beautiful women by his side and residing in a luxurious villa—there wasn’t much difference from how he usually lived.

Summer asked when he noticed that Song Yumei seemed troubled, "Mimei, what are you thinking about"

Song Yumei didn't answer Summer's question; instead, she gently pleaded, "Can we go to the rooftop I want to feel the breeze."

Indeed, Song Yumei's request was rather peculiar; during this cold winter, most people would prefer to stay indoors, but she wanted to go out and feel the breeze. Truly unique.

Nevertheless, Xia Tian complied with her wishes and brought her to the villa’s rooftop.

The wind was quite strong, causing Song Yumei's white robe to flutter, yet she seemed oblivious, standing quietly beside the roof edge while gazing at the distant night sky.

"Wife Mei, are you cold" Xia Tian wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, his tone filled with concern.

"With you holding me, I naturally won’t feel cold." Song Yumei softly spoke and then fell silent. Her mind was still somewhat disorganized; the chilly winter wind didn't seem to fully clear her thoughts.

“Wife Mei, in that case, I’ll just keep hugging you.” Xia Tian said with a grin, surprisingly behaving himself, content to just hold Song Yumei without attempting anything more provocative.

"Do you remember when we last met in Jianghai City" After a moment of silence, Song Yumei softly asked.

“Of course I do. That time, wife Mei, you were poisoned. But to this day, I still don’t know who the culprit was!” Xia Tian replied without hesitation.

"If, if I tell you that time I poisoned myself, would you be angry" Song Yumei said softly.

"What are you saying, Wife Meimei" Xia Tian was a bit confused. "Why would you take poison when you're fine"

"Because I knew for sure you'd save me and use the Miraculous Eight Needles on me. And after using the needles, I knew that my bone marrow could be cleansed, making it impossible for ordinary people to have such energy." Song Yumei slowly explained: "Actually, when I went to find you back then, I wanted to trick you into cleansing my bone marrow for me. So from beginning to end, no one else poisoned me; I took some thallium myself."

Song Yumei gently turned around and looked at Xia Tian with her beautiful eyes. Under the night sky, her eyes seemed as bright as stars. She opened her lips again and softly said another phrase: "I tricked you. Are you angry"

She finally made up her mind to stop hiding things because she had long realized that this man was not stupid; she couldn't keep deceiving him, or sometimes, honesty could be the best way to deceive.

"Snap!" Her behind suddenly felt a slight sting. Song Yumei immediately knew she'd been smacked on her bottom by this man.

"Wife Meimei, you really are too outrageous!" Xia Tian finally became unhappy.

"I knew you would be angry at me for tricking you," Song Yumei said softly.more."Demoness wife, I still have plenty of strength!" Summer replied."Then why are you walking so slowly" Zhao Yujie asked with a bad mood."Demoness wife, I heard that carrying your wife shouldn't be...
