Little Candy blinked her big eyes. She was still young, so she naturally didn't understand.

Bo Jingzhou also came over and said, "To be precise, only Mommy can sleep with you. You are a girl, you must learn to protect yourself."

"Mommy~" Little Candy uttered these two words from her little mouth. She also liked the beautiful mommy very much, even more than daddy. What Little Candy thought was that she would sleep with daddy tonight and with mommy tomorrow night.

Seeing this, the four little treasures immediately said, "How about we go find Mommy now?"

As long as the sister agrees, they will steal her away now.

Little Candy nodded, then shook her head: "Wait, wait for Daddy, together..."

Bo Jingzhou and the four little treasures were immediately discouraged.

Never mind...take it slow.

Wanting to replace Xiao Hengyu's position in Xiao Tangguo's heart is destined to be a long and painful process for Bo Jingzhou and the four little treasures.

......

Wen Xiaoman woke up in an unfamiliar softness.

The moment she regained consciousness, the numbness and soreness of her body made her frown.

What's going on? Why am I so tired after sleeping? It feels like I've climbed a mountain.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and what came into view was the luxurious yet completely unfamiliar furnishings of the room. What made her heart shrink the most was that not far from the bed, on the single sofa, there was a man with a clown mask on his face sitting quietly.

It’s the man I met by chance at the masquerade party!

She sat up cautiously, huddled in the corner of the bed, and stared closely at the mysterious man. Fear made her voice tremble: "Where is this?"

She remembered that she was hit from behind at the masquerade party and then fainted. Who hit her?

Could it be the masked man in front of me?

The man was at a safe distance from her and said calmly, "This is a very safe place."

But this strange voice made Wen Xiaoman even more uneasy.

"Who are you? Why am I here? Did you bring me here? What is your purpose?" She asked a series of questions, but she didn't expect the other party to answer all of them. At least he could tell her one.

However, the man responded to her questions one by one in a leisurely manner: "We met at the masquerade ball. At that time, the spies arranged by Qiao Siyue had already discovered you. If I hadn't taken you away first, you would have been captured by his people. So, I did bring you here, but I did it to save you."

He paused, and his deep gaze behind the mask seemed to fall on her.

"As for who I am, I can't tell you yet."

Wen Xiaoman frowned and quickly grasped a key point from his words: "So, you know Qiao Siyue, and you know me too?"

The man nodded and said in a voice changed by a voice changer, "Yes."

Wen Xiaoman wondered, since he knew Qiao Siyue and rescued her from him, could he be Qiao Siyue's mortal enemy or business competitor?

"Are you Qiao Siyue's business partner?" she asked tentatively.

The man was silent for a moment, then gave an ambiguous answer: "I guess so."

Wen Xiaoman felt that she guessed correctly. This person must be Qiao Siyue's mortal enemy. However, she was not familiar with Qiao Siyue's business partners at all. Could she capture her and use her to threaten Qiao Siyue?

Never mind, let’s figure out how to leave here first.

Wen Xiaoman continued, "Since you saved me, now that I'm safe, can you let me go?"

However, the man replied: "No."

"Why?" Wen Xiaoman suddenly became angry.

The man simply said calmly, "Because Qiao Siyue is using all his strength to search for you. If you leave here, he will immediately catch you back. Do you want to go back to her?"

Wen Xiaoman shook his head: "No, I can go to my friends, they will protect me."

And Yutang and the others must have a way to deal with Qiao Siyue.

The man seemed to chuckle: "Even your friends may not be able to protect you 100%."

Wen Xiaoman's pupils shrank slightly: "You even know my friends? Who are you?"

She stared at the clown mask, trying to see through the disguise and see the man clearly. The calm temperament around him made her feel familiar, but he was wearing a mask and did not show his true face, so Wen Xiaoman could not guess.

Faced with her questioning, the man chose silence again.

Wen Xiaoman had no choice but to change the question, his tone filled with worry: "So how are my friends now? Did Qiao Siyue cause them any trouble because of me?"

She suddenly disappeared at the masquerade ball this time. I wonder if Qiao Siyue will cause trouble for Yutang.

What she feared most was implicating Su Yutang and the others.

The man gave a clear answer to this question: "Don't worry, they are fine. Moreover, they have rescued the little girl. Qiao Siyue's main target is you. He doesn't have the energy to deal with them for the time being, but..."

He changed the subject, his gaze falling on Wen Xiaoman through the mask, "But you're different. Your friends are not in a position to protect you, because you are still nominally the fiancée of the heir of the Chemoshi family. It's perfectly legitimate for Qiao Siyue to take you away."

Wen Xiaoman was immediately surprised. She didn't expect that this man wearing a clown mask knew everything.

Who is he? Wen Xiaoman became more and more curious.

Seeing that the man was unmoved, Wen Xiaoman felt a little discouraged, but unwilling to give up.

She changed her approach, trying to get more information: "Well, even if you won't let me go for the time being, you should at least tell me who you are? Or... take off your mask and let me see what you really look like?"

She needs to judge whether the other party is an enemy or a friend before deciding what to do next.

But the man remained as steady as a mountain, his voice coming through the voice changer, emotionless: "Now, it's not the time yet."

"Then when is the right time?" Wen Xiaoman asked.

The man was silent, obviously not intending to answer the question.

Wen Xiaoman became more and more anxious, and an inexplicable stubbornness surged up in his heart.

She stared at the clown mask, and suddenly an idea struck her: "Hmph, I get it. You're so secretive and afraid to show your true face. Is it because you're so ugly? Are you afraid of scaring me?"

The man seemed stunned for a moment, then he actually followed her words and admitted: "Yes, I am indeed very ugly and scary, so you'd better not see it."

Wen Xiaoman: “…”

She didn't expect the other party to admit that she was ugly, which made her speechless for a moment.

But she quickly reacted and continued to encourage: "It's okay...it's okay, I'm not afraid, and I don't dislike you, just take it off and let me see."
