Chapter 1986: In A Mess

Ma Haodong left Xiao Yuqian’s room, leaving her standing there as her heart raced. Xiao Yuqian scolded Ma Haodong in her head, thinking that he was doing it on purpose.

Xiao Yuqian took a quick shower and put on her clothes as fast as she could.

She realized that Ma Haodong was already getting out of control. Even if she were to set more than 300 rules, he would never abide by them.

After what happened that day, Xiao Yuqian reminded herself to lock her door every time.

When Xiao Yuqian went down to the living room, Ma Haodong was sitting on the couch playing a game.

Ma Haodong heard her footsteps and turned to look at her.

“Come here,” Ma Haodong said as he waved.

“What do you want?”

“If you don’t come, I’ll go!” Ma Haodong warned.

Seeing that Ma Haodong was serious about it, Xiao Yuqian quickly sat down on the couch next to the one he was on.

“I said, come here,” Ma Haodong said as he tapped the seat next to him.

“What? I like sitting here.” Xiao Yuqian shook her head.

Knowing that Xiao Yuqian would never move, Ma Haodong got up and sat on the arm of the couch Xiao Yuqian was sitting on.

Xiao Yuqian tried to run, but Ma Haodong pushed her back down.

He then grabbed the hairdryer and started to help Xiao Yuqian dry her hair.

Xiao Yuqian finally relaxed when she felt the warm air on her head. Ma Haodong just wanted to help her with drying her hair.

Ever since Xiao Yuqian’s mother left, it had been years since someone helped her with that. She’d almost forgotten what it felt like to be loved and cared for by someone else.

She was touched and had no idea what to say,

But she did not want it to become a routine and said, “I... I’ll do it myself.”

“Sit still!” Ma Haodong ordered.

Xiao Yuqian could feel the warmth as Ma Haodong’s fingers ran through her hair, slightly touching her.

Xiao Yuqian’s mind was confused. She recalled how Ma Hoadong said that she never gave him any chance to prove his worth, and he was right.

A guy that was four years younger than her, but it seemed to her that he was more grown-up than he looked.

She wondered if she should give him a chance.

But the only problem was that Ma Haodong was working as an actor under her. There was no way she could be in a relationship with him.

Ma Haodong turned the hairdryer off and said, “It’s done.”

“Thank you...”

Ma Haodong did not leave immediately and continued to stare at her.

“W...what?”

“I’m trying to read your mind,” Ma Haodong said. “I’ve always heard that women like to lie. I guess they aren’t wrong about it. You’re probably one of the biggest liars. Why did you get the ring back?”

“I didn’t do that!”

Ma Haodong took the ring case out like magic and smirked. “Oh, really? Then why did you go into the water?”

“I... I just think that it’s a waste!” Xiao Yuqian scolded. “Keep it well! You can give it to whichever woman you fall for in the future.”
