Chapter 146: What a Beautiful Young Man

Chapter 146: Chapter 146: What a Beautiful Young ManOh no, did she just make him even angrier by doing that?

What will he do to her?

If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have come out without any preparation. The things in her bag... absolutely cannot let him find out. Otherwise, not only would her wealth be gone, but she might even be assaulted!

Ou bei Yao shot her a quick glance and sneered:

"Why are you silent now?"

"No matter what I say, you’ll surely never let me go, isn’t that right?"

"Hmm, smart."

"Then what’s the point of saying anything?"

After saying that, she closed her eyes but secretly tightened her grip on the bag, her mind racing with thoughts of how to escape.

The atmosphere was unsettling. Ten minutes later, the car stopped, and she stared at the somewhat old-fashioned courtyard in a daze.

"What is this place?"

"Get out."

Qin Miaomiao resigned herself to getting out of the car. Ou bei Yao squinted slightly at her; the woman had courage and was cooperative—quite to his tastes.

He pushed the door open and walked in. Qin Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, but under the scrutiny of his piercing gaze, she reluctantly followed him inside.

It was a four-seater courtyard, situated in an ideal location—a prime piece of real estate that emanated good fortune. Judging by its location and market value alone, this could be considered as valuable as gold.

To own a courtyard like this, one’s assets must be considerable.

Rumor has it, some people previously involved in shady business turned their lives around and became entrepreneurs. It wouldn’t be surprising if the man in front of her was one of those people.

But why would someone like him kidnap her?

"Go inside."

The man said, pushing open the door to one of the rooms. Qin Miaomiao walked in hesitantly, only to see a beautiful silver-haired youth leaning against the window, quietly engrossed in a book. The youth, with his silver locks, glanced up to look at her as he heard the sound of footsteps. His delicate and flowerlike features made him a sight to behold; he was briefly startled upon seeing her, but soon a radiant smile spread across his face like a blooming flower.

Qin Miaomiao was equally stunned. He kidnapped her... for this beautiful young man?

If he’d told her earlier she was meeting this beauty, there’d be no need to kidnap her—she’d have gladly come!

"You two talk."

Leaving those words behind, Ou bei Yao walked out, leaving Qin Miaomiao alone with Ou beichen.

Standing in front of this gorgeous youth made her feel a bit embarrassed. Scratching her head, she said:

"I didn’t know I was here to meet you... How’s your health? Feeling better?"

Ou beichen nodded but remained silent. Qin Miaomiao speculated in her heart that perhaps he couldn’t speak, which made her feel even more sympathetic toward him.

She walked closer and noticed he was holding a sketchpad. He had drawn some flowers and plants with just a few strokes, yet the simplicity carried incredible charm.

"Did you draw this?"

He nodded.

"It’s so beautiful!"

Although Qin Miaomiao was constantly on guard against Ou bei Yao, she couldn’t help but feel fond of this young man.

Yet no matter how fond she was, she couldn’t stay longer. After chatting briefly, she prepared to leave, but the shy Ou beichen suddenly reached out to tug at her sleeve.

"Hmm?"

His deep, pitch-black eyes stared at her intensely, as if they were about to melt her heart. Qin Miaomiao spoke gently, trying to reassure him:

"I have something to do. I’ll come visit you again next time, alright?"

Just as she thought he would let go, she unexpectedly heard him say two words:

"No way."

"Huh? You can talk?"

At the same time, an excited voice rang out:

"Xiao Chen, you’re willing to speak?"

Ou bei Yao rushed back in, his expression lit up with surprise, hoping to hear him say more. Yet Ou beichen firmly pressed his lips together, unwilling to say another word.

Even Qin Miaomiao found it odd. Was this some form of autism?

Such a beautiful young man, yet in this condition—anyone would feel heartache.

Seeing him stay silent, Ou bei Yao didn’t force him, instead calling Qin Miaomiao out of the room.

"What? You want me to stay and take care of your little brother?"
