The relief and desperation that filled her heart was astonishingly increased when she saw Xiao Zhanzhan standing there, unharmed.

Contrary to what she imagined where her son could have experienced a worse thing under the hands of the people who took him away, Xiao Zhanzhan looked much better than the last time she saw him, which was yesterday.

Wearing a penguin printed pajamas, a lion teddy bear clutched between his forearm, and an innocent smile that he only showed in front of those he loved, Xiao Zhanzhan couldn't even be safer than what she thought.

Without caring about her own demeanor and what her expression looked like right now, Ran Xuey rushed to be next to her son. However, she didn't notice that she and her son were separated by a fence. What's more, there was a man who was carrying Xiao Zhanzhan in his arms.

But at this moment, her eyes were only glued to her son and she couldn't even acknowledge the other's presence.

"Baby, why did you leave without telling mommy? Do you even know how scared mom was when I heard you weren't here?" Ran Xueyi touched her son's face eagerly. There was no spot she didn't touch to make sure that her son was really unharmed.

Xiao Zhanzhan didn't understand anything, he was just a child and didn't know anything much about how the adult's mind worked. But seeing his mother's tears, he could only apologize.

"Sorry, mommy."

Ran Xueyi shook her head. "Don't apologize, baby. But remember to not do this again. Don't leave mommy's side without saying anything okay?"

Xiao Zhanzhan nodded his head obediently.

Ran Xueyi wanted to scoop her baby into her arms but a hand was placed on top of her hand, stopping her.

That was when Ran Xueyi finally raised her head to look at the person who was carrying her baby.

Surprisingly, the man in front of her did not say anything from the beginning and only watched the two mother and son have their moment. But Ran Xueyi felt slightly conflicted when she saw the man.

Because the man in front of her was the man she met last night.

It was the Earl.

Like last night, he was still wearing a mask. Ran Xueyi wondered if he had a hobby for wearing masks or if there was another reason why he wore it. Previously, she thought he was only wearing it because of the masquerade ball, but it didn't seem to be the case.

But that wasn't what she wanted to find out.

"You…why are you here?" asked Ran Xueyi with a frown. Her thoughts were unknown.

Song Yu Han, who was under the mask, could guess that she might be building her guards up towards him due to this encounter, but it didn't matter.

Right now, he just wanted to take this fence down and sweep her off her feet.

Under the moonlight, Ran Xueyi's appearance was truly enchanting. The faint teardrops that hang onto her eyelashes and pale skin made it difficult for Song Yu Han to control himself.

If he could, he would have pulled her somewhere private and ravaged her, continuing what they couldn't last night until both of them were gasping for air.

But of course, he didn't do as he wished. There was his son in his arms and a fence was in between them. Thankfully, those two were enough to make him think clearly.

After a short moment, he answered with a low voice, "I live here… You could also say we're neighbors."

Ran Xueyi blinked fast before nodding.

Song Yu Han added, "I saw this boy when I was strolling outside. I thought I saw a little fairy appear before me and took him with me." He paused for a second before continuing with a soft smile, "Actually, the little boy reminded me a lot of the fairy I saw last night. I just couldn't help myself…"

So to say, he just took her son because he resembled her a lot?

Of course, Xiao Zhanzhan would have some resemblance to her, but that wasn't the problem.

"How did he even remind you of me? Most importantly, how long have you been my neighbor?" Ran Xueyi had too many questions she demanded answers to read between his lies and go along with his teasing.

She sneered. "Don't tell me you're stalking me?"

The man did not respond, but someone else did.

Xiao Zhanzhan yawned. "Stalking? What is stalking?"

Ran Xueyi looked at her baby and bit her lower lips. "Nothing, baby."

She then turned her head and said to the man, "I would like to have my son now."

Ran Xueyi didn't know what was wrong with this man. He was too shrouded in mystery. More than that, she felt an indescribable feeling of danger coming from him. So, she couldn't let her son stay longer with him.

Song Yu Han could see the vigilance in her eyes, but that only increased the uncontrollable feeling of possession and obsession he felt towards her. He really wanted her. Now.

He didn't know if it was because of the three years separation that made his feelings become more intense and dangerous. It was as if an infectious virus contained in a bottle, continuously growing and threatening to break away. And once it did, the aftermath and disaster it would bring would be unimaginable.

Ran Xueyi waited for him to walk away so they could meet outside their houses. But out of her expectation, the man actually jumped over the fence!

He really jumped over as it was nothing!

Ran Xueyi stared wide-eyed and lips parted into a small o. The shock and speechlessness she felt overwhelmed her suspicion and doubts.

"Be careful!" Ran Xueyi shouted hurriedly.

Ran Xueyi was afraid he would accidentally let her son go and hurt him in the process of jumping over the fence. But all her worries did not happen.

The two were unharmed and they effortlessly landed on the ground as if it was made of cotton.

"How can you do that?" Ran Xueyi fumed and took her son away from him. "Do you even know how dangerous that was? What would happen if your hands slipped and let him go? He would have fallen to the ground and broken some bones!"

Song Yu Han looked down at his now empty arm and missed his son's warm body. He raised his head and stared at the slightly flushed face of Ran Xueyi.

A chuckle escaped his lips.

As he thought, Ran Xueyi was really meant to be his. Only she could scold him like this despite his identity. If it were other people, they would remain reserved and fearful of him no matter what.

But only she was different.

Poisonlily has something to say: Thank you everyone for your comforting words when I lost my father. I was devastated when I lost him and didn't know what to do. I wanted to stop writing and I did. Thankfully, I still had some chapters I finished writing before things happened. Though, losing someone can make you feel so numb and empty, I needed to go on and keep writing for my remaining family.

As you all know, I write to earn and all your gifts, chapter unlocks, and privilege purchase has helped me give the money I receive from all of you to help my family. So, I'm really thankful to everyone.
