Chapter 272 Emotions
The girl tried to make her voice sound indifferent, but a faint tremor could still be heard in it.
The sound of rain outside the window masked the inexplicable tone in Dolly's voice. She seemed to be trying to appear calm, but she helplessly realized that she was powerless to do anything about it.
So she awkwardly turned her back, buried her head, and hid in the shadows in the corner of the bed, becoming a coward.
Mu Feng naturally knew the little girl's personality well. This behavior was different from her usual arrogant self; she was probably throwing a tantrum.
As for the source of the girl's little mood, after a little thought, he could probably guess a couple of things.
He had pretended to have met Dolly, but at that time the situation of the World Tree was still unclear, and the city of Sumeru was under lockdown. He was eager to get away, so he did not rashly reveal his identity.
After all, he couldn't be sure whether they still retained the memories from the simulation until he met the Great Tree King.
The little girl is very clever and vigilant. The arrival of a strange guest without reason will undoubtedly arouse her suspicion.
Although he managed to brush it off in person, Mu Feng knew very well that those flimsy excuses couldn't stand up to scrutiny.
Whether it was a check issued on the spot or an excuse from an old acquaintance of the Humayi Chamber of Commerce, there were flaws that were hard to conceal.
In fact, if she were willing to investigate, the lie would soon be exposed thanks to the information channels of Dolly's business guild.
Furthermore, given his frequent visits to Nilu and the others' residence in recent days, it's only natural that he would guess something.
Mu Feng's face showed helplessness and a bitter smile. The little girl was jealous and upset that he hadn't come to find her right away.
Rain streaks streamed down the glass of the window. Mu Feng quietly walked around the bed and gently sat down next to Dolly.
The girl turned her body to the side, her back to him, and didn't say a word, hiding her face in the darkness, adopting a resistant posture.
Where no one could see, her eyes were slightly red, her lips were gently bitten, and she stubbornly remained silent.
Since he doesn't want her anymore and kept his return a secret from her, why is he coming to see her now? Is he trying to make a fool of himself?
Dolly was overwhelmed by a mix of unease, bitterness, and fear, which entangled her in a jumble of thoughts from which she could not extricate herself.
A subtle silence fell over the room for a moment.
Mu Feng sighed lightly, his hand gently resting on the girl's petite shoulder, but Dolly, who was in a tantrum, raised her shoulder and shook off his approach.
She hit it again, swung it again, and on the third time, the girl's body trembled slightly. This time, she hesitated for a long time.
Resisting his approach was only a temporary feeling, but as the number of rejections increased, another emotion welled up.
What if... he stops coming near me?
The moment this thought arose, Dolly felt a sharp pain in her heart, a pain that overwhelmed all her unease.
This fear intensified with each instance of resistance, gradually consuming her reason.
She couldn't lie to herself, and she knew she couldn't accept that outcome. It was just that her pitiful pride that made her unable to lower herself to accept his advances.
She had never hated or torn herself apart like this before.
Fortunately, he never gave up and was not annoyed by her unreasonable behavior. He just wanted to get close to her, hug her, and give her endless tolerance.
In Mu Feng's eyes, she understood something; it meant that no matter how many times she resisted, he would continue.
Such deadly tenderness... leaving her no room for refusal, just like that contract from the past.
She could feel her will to resist crumbling, and all she wanted to do was throw herself into his arms and tell him about the painful longing she had felt over the years.
In reality, she hasn't grown up at all, nor is she that powerful businesswoman. In her heart, she is still that dirty girl who longs for protection and love.
So when he reached out again, Dolly gave up resisting completely and let his outstretched hand gently embrace her.
When I fell into that long-lost embrace, tears streamed down my cheeks, disappearing without a trace.
His embrace was warm, reminding her of that rainy auction night many years ago, making her willingly indulge in it.
But then, a surge of inexplicable anger and resentment welled up inside me. Why, why didn't I tell her the truth that time?
Thinking of this, she opened her mouth fiercely and bit Mu Feng's shoulder, as if to vent the resentment that was hard to vent in her heart.
However, the moment her teeth touched his shoulder, her heart softened against her will, and what should have been a bloody revenge turned into a wet, light kiss.
However, she was still too embarrassed to admit it. Although he hugged her, the girl still turned her face away awkwardly and ignored him.
Would you like to hear the story of what happened after we broke up?
Mu Feng gently stroked the girl's soft pink hair in his arms, leaned close to her ear, and soothed the little girl in a gentle tone.
A tickling sensation ran through her ears, and the embrace was so soft that the girl's carefully constructed defenses nearly crumbled on the spot.
However, Dolly gritted her teeth and stubbornly expressed her protest, not wanting to let someone get away with it so easily.
"Hmph... I don't want to hear it, I'm ignoring you, go away."
However, her attitude was not as resolute as before, and her tone carried a hint of whining.
She felt a little resentful of her own lack of ambition, but the joy and tenderness in her heart slowly began to take over.
Tears continued to stream down her cheeks, but she was utterly powerless against his intimacy.
Mu Feng hugged her a little tighter. Dolly struggled symbolically for a moment, but still let out a soft groan and refused to respond.
He didn't come to see her right away when he got back, even though he knew she would be upset... Sweet words won't be enough to make her feel better.
After all, that guy has lied to her so many times, he should at least...
The next instant, a warm touch came from her soft lips, and the girl couldn't help but widen her beautiful pale golden eyes.
This is... how could this guy...! Ugh...
Dolly's body stiffened for a moment, her mind went blank and chaotic, and she felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away in an instant.
But the girl quickly realized what had happened. After shyly pushing him away twice to no avail, she finally gave up and went along with it, enjoying the love she craved.
After all, this is a rare moment when some blockhead has finally come to his senses.
Perhaps many years ago, on that rainy night, when he brought the dirty, pitiful girl into this place, the seed of this feeling had already quietly taken root and sprouted.
This contract not only establishes a financial debt, but also an emotional debt. What do you think, my dear creditor?
Many years later, when Dolly wrote this message on a significant anniversary, she had the same happy smile on her lips.
