Xu Yixue entered and placed her small bag in the storage compartment near the door, then eagerly headed upstairs.

Today she was not wearing high heels but a pair of Converse canvas shoes, which not only gave her a full sense of being a young girl but also allowed her to walk lightly and quickly.

In no time, Xu Yixue reached the second floor and gently pushed open Tongtong’s bedroom door. Just as she peeked in, she saw a white dog suddenly leap up from the bed and lunge at Xu Yixue.

“Woof!” Ben Ben barked softly, and in the blink of an eye, he was in Xu Yixue’s face.

“Ah!”

Xu Yixue exclaimed in surprise, instinctively trying to dodge backward.

As Ye Xiaoning had just gotten out of the car and entered, he saw Xu Yixue’s body tilting backward; his face immediately filled with urgency, wanting to go save her, but it was clearly too late.

“Ben Ben! Stop!” At that moment, Xu Fan was downstairs. Hearing Ben Ben’s bark, he swiftly appeared on the second floor.

Huh? To Ye Xiaoning, it seemed like a blur; Xu Fan was right in front of him a second ago, then suddenly disappeared.

Ben Ben heard Xu Fan’s shout and slowed his lunge at Xu Yixue. Just before he could bite her, he forcefully landed on the ground.

Xu Yixue didn’t have Ben Ben’s agility, and startled by him, she tried to sidestep in a panic. Not only did she fail to avoid Ben Ben, but due to her uncoordinated body, she lost her balance entirely and instantly fell backward.

“Ah!” Xu Yixue tried to grab the doorknob, but it was too late; her hand didn’t come close to reaching the door.

This is it, I’m definitely going to take a bad fall, maybe even get laughed at by that stinky Xu Fan.

Xu Yixue lamented inwardly.

After a full three seconds, Ye Xiaoning, who was searching for Xu Fan, didn’t hear the sound of Xu Yixue hitting the ground and stared blankly towards the second floor.

Upon looking, Ye Xiaoning was slightly dumbfounded.

The Xu Fan who had just been standing before her eyes was now on the second floor, and in a pose only found in television dramas, he was stylishly catching Xu Yixue who was about to fall.

Xu Yixue, too, was awaiting the impact with the ground, only to find it never came. Instead, she felt a gust of wind beside her, and she was then caught by something warm.

Xu Yixue rolled her eyes and saw Xu Fan’s hands, firmly wrapped around her waist and looking down at her from above.

From Xu Fan’s palm came a fiery warmth, and on his body, a faint pleasant scent.

Xu Yixue’s body felt slightly feverish; looking up, she saw Xu Fan’s stubbled chin, his straight nose, his deep gaze, and an expression tinged with concern.

Xu Yixue was stunned for a few seconds, feeling her face so red it seemed ready to bleed. Struggling, she tried to get up from Xu Fan’s embrace.

But Xu Yixue’s movements were too hurried; the moment she stood up, she felt a piercing pain in her left foot, lost her footing instantly, and with another “ah” of alarm, fell backward again.

“Silly woman, don’t move around when you’re hurt,” Xu Fan shook his head, once again extended his hand, and firmly held Xu Yixue’s delicate body in his arms.

“Don’t take advantage of me!” Xu Yixue angrily pushed against Xu Fan’s strong arm.

Even though this arm had caught her twice, avoiding the danger of falling and getting hurt, its owner was still too annoying.

He took advantage of me and called me stupid! I, Xu Yixue, am a Ph.D. from America; so many people praise me for being smart as ice and snow, yet in your, Xu Fan’s eyes, I’m seen as a foolish woman, Xu Yixue thought angrily

“I was saving you, nothing more,” Xu Fan said indifferently.

“Humph, I don’t need a pervert like you to save me!” Xu Yixue crouched down slowly and then broke free from Xu Fan’s embrace, using one hand to support herself against the wall as she gradually stood up.

“Ah, it’s tough being a good person,” Xu Fan shook his head, looking at Xu Yixue with eyes that seemed to see someone who was ungrateful, mixed with a bit of helplessness.

“Hmph! Mind your own business.” Xu Yixue glared at Xu Fan and then looked down at her own feet.

A sharp pain shot through her ankle, making Xu Yixue frown. She tried to move her foot, but as soon as she did, she cried out, “Ouch,” nearly bursting into tears from the pain.

“Why is there a dog in Tongtong’s room all of a sudden? Did you do it on purpose to scare me?” Xu Yixue remembered the chief culprit that caused her fall and accused Xu Fan.

Hearing Xu Yixue’s domineering and irrational words, Xu Fan felt helpless: “I had no idea you would head upstairs as soon as you came in, nor did I set up a dog to scare you…”

“Even if you didn’t set it up, don’t you know dogs carry a lot of bacteria and parasites? When I came in, I saw that dog on Tongtong’s bed. Do you understand what hygiene is? What if the dog affects Tongtong’s health?” Xu Yixue said coldly.

“It must have been Tongtong who wanted to sleep with Ben Ben at night. Ben Ben is very sensible and wouldn’t run onto the owner’s bed without permission,” Xu Fan explained.

“Don’t try to shift the blame onto Tongtong. It’s entirely your irresponsibility as a father. No, my daughter can’t stay here. What if she has health issues? You won’t be able to bear the responsibility. I’m taking Tongtong with me, at once,” Xu Yixue thought decisively and lifted her leg, intending to go into Tongtong’s room to take her away.

Unfortunately, with an injury on her foot, as soon as she attempted to move, the pain surged, and Xu Yixue knelt down again, a look of agony on her face.

“Yixue, are you okay?” Ye Xiaoning had also come upstairs, gently supporting Xu Yixue’s arm.

“Mommy? Auntie?” A crisp child’s voice came from the bedroom.

Wearing a little bear pajama and dragging her slippers, Tongtong walked out of the bedroom. Seeing Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning, she joyfully called out.

The earlier barking of Ben Ben had woken Tongtong up, and unexpectedly, as soon as she got out of bed, she saw her mother and aunt standing outside the room.

“Tongtong!” Xu Yixue’s pain in her foot seemed to ease a lot upon seeing Tongtong, and she tenderly reached out her hand towards her.

“Mommy!” Tongtong excitedly ran towards Xu Yixue.

In a flash, a figure darted over. Just as Tongtong was about to throw herself into Xu Yixue’s arms, Xu Fan swept her up, leaving Xu Yixue hugging the air.

“Xu Fan, what right do you have to hold my daughter? She’s mine, give her back to me!” Xu Yixue angrily said to Xu Fan.

“Do you want to fall again?” Xu Fan glanced at her ankle, which was already swelling.

Standing was difficult enough for Xu Yixue, let alone holding Tongtong; they would both end up falling to the ground.
