Every step closer to Mu Yunlie's villa made Yan Qianyi feel she was drawing nearer to him.
But as she approached, her steps grew more hesitant.
Suddenly, electronic music blared from her earphones.
It was as if an alarm had abruptly gone off in her heart.
Yan Qianyi immediately snapped back to reality and halted.
It was a voice call from Yan Chuhua. She lightly touched her earphone to answer.
Chuhua's cheerful voice came through, "Qianyi, I've sent you the location for dinner tonight. You can start heading out now."
"Alright."
After hanging up, Yan Qianyi looked up towards the distinctive villa of Mu Yunlie.
He seemed within her reach now.
If she bravely moved closer, she could see him.
But the sudden clarity reminded her of the complications between them, and she pulled him out of her world in an instant.
Just now, driven by impulse, she had wanted to tell him the reason for their separation unreservedly.
But now that she was clear-headed, she recoiled, afraid.
