Grandpa Mo nodded his head and said," Yes, you did a great job."

Just then Hoshen came back and said," Master it's done." ??

" What is done?" Grandpa Mo asked.

" I asked Hoshen to turn off the lights of the entire villa." Grandpa Yang said.

" You- how can you do that? You know Ning gets a panic attack when-"

Cutting grandpa Mo off, Grandpa Yang said," Yes yes I know but you know how stubborn Ning is. She will never stick to Yichan until she is forced to. There is no way she would dare to loiter around alone when it's dark. She will definitely cling onto Yichan."

Grandpa Mo grinned and said," I see you have already planned everything."

" I am determined to make my granddaughter your granddaughter-in-law." Grandpa Yang said.

" Master we should leave, I think it's about to rain." Hoshen said.

...

Inside the mansion.

*THUD* *THUD* *THUD* *THUD*

" Grandpa open the door." Ning shouted.

" Grandpa this is not funny." Yichan said before banging the door. historical

Just then the lights went off.

"Ahhhhh." Ning squealed before pouncing into Yichan's embrace.

" Woah." Yichan said before steadying himself.

Placing his hand on her shoulder, Yichan was about to push her away when he realised that she was trembling in fear.

Banging at the door, Yichan shouted," Grandpa this is too much, open the door." before wrapping his arms around Ning.

With her head buried on his chest, Ning had her arms wrapped around his waist. She hated darkness and also felt very strange and suffocated in a pitch black room or place but when a familiar warmth started spreading all over her body, she managed to calm down.

Letting out a mocking chuckle, Yichan said," Still scared of darkness and you still have the audacity to say that you don't need anyone to stand up for you. What was that line? Oh yes ' I am enough for myself'."

When Ning did not say anything, Yichan sighed and hugged her tighter. He would be lying if he would say that having her in his arms did not feel good.

Looking around, Yichan asked," Where is your phone?"

Pulling herself back, Ning clutched onto his suit and said," On the couch."

Letting her go, Yichan started walking the couch when he realised that Ning was holding his shirt and his suit.

Realising that he was going somewhere leaving her alone, Ning pulled him back and asked," W-Where are you going?"

" I am going to the couch so that I can call Guiren from your phone. Only he is the one who can help us out." Yichan said.

When Ning did not let him go but instead tightened her grip around his shirt, Yichan asked," You want to come with me to the couch too?"

Ning nodded her head and said," Yes, what if you get lost."

Yichan chuckled and said," Right, please lead me because I don't want to get lost while walking towards the couch which is just a few meters away from me." before walking towards the couch along with Ning.

Yichan frowned when he did not see Ning's bag on the couch.

" Are you sure you kept it here?" Yichan asked.

Ning nodded her head and said," Yes I had kept it here. I think they took my bag away."

Yichan sighed and said," This is definitely their stupid plan."

Looking around, Yichan asked," Where do you all keep the candles?"

Ning shook her head and said," I don't know."

Yichan frowned and said," Hey, this is your place you should know."

Ning shook her head and said," I don't know but maybe it's on the kitchen shelf."

" Okay, you stay here and I'll go look for them." Yichan said.

"But-"

Cutting her off, Yichan said," It's darker there, do you wanna go there?" before pointing towards the kitchen.

When Ning shook her head, Yichan said," Be good and stay here." before walking towards the kitchen.
