She still remembered to cover her mouth with both hands to avoid making any noise and raising others' suspicions.
Fortunately, Mu Jiangfeng was a strong and sturdy man, and Lan Baobao's delicate body posed no challenge to him at all.
Watching Lan Baobao's figure fall from the windowsill towards him, Mu Jiangfeng's heart raced.
Finally, he had waited for this moment!
Lan Baobao, I can finally have you once!
Lan Baobao was unaware of Mu Jiangfeng's thoughts. As she fell, her heart was already in her throat, almost pounding out of her chest.
Although her posture was not very graceful, Lan Baobao ultimately landed safely in Mu Jiangfeng's arms. However, due to fear, her heart was racing to its limits at the moment of landing.
Even though she covered her mouth with both hands, she couldn't hold back in the end.
She let out a small "ah."
Then she quickly covered her mouth again. It wasn't until her feet touched the ground that she dared to open her eyes.
Seeing Mu Jiangfeng in front of her, his smile carried a hint of helplessness and disdain, but it was undeniable.
Seeing this long-lost face truly brought her comfort!
"Lan Baobao, sometimes I really admire you!
Are you afraid that others won't know you're trying to escape? It took you this long to jump out of a window. If you're discovered and Ye Zixun catches you, it might not be as easy as just breaking a leg!"
Mu Jiangfeng looked at the panicked Lan Baobao in his arms, his tone filled with helplessness.
Lan Baobao always makes him feel a mix of helplessness and amusement.
Lan Baobao's cheeks flushed red as she shyly broke free from Mu Jiangfeng's embrace, feeling deeply ashamed of her own lack of composure.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! My athletic ability is really poor! I kept thinking, what if you couldn't catch me?
What if I tried to escape and ended up falling? I'm really sorry!"
She felt quite guilty; Mu Jiangfeng had been waiting for her right on time in this place.
But Lan Baobao had wasted a full five minutes on the windowsill of the restroom, during which time the car had already driven several kilometers.
But who could blame her for being afraid of heights!
Her athletic ability was just like her brain—innate and unchangeable!
Mu Jiangfeng tilted his head slightly, looking at Lan Baobao in front of him with a mischievous smile.
Mu Jiangfeng liked Lan Baobao's slightly stubborn, childlike demeanor; every glance at her made his heart bloom with joy. He simply couldn't help but love her.
Forget it; considering her cuteness, he wouldn't pursue or dwell on today's incident any further!
Under Mu Jiangfeng's somewhat mischievous gaze, Lan Baobao felt uncomfortable all over.
His eyes were like those of someone eyeing a delicious meal, and Lan Baobao still felt a bit shy.
Suddenly, her mind recalled Ye Zixun's gaze.
For a while, Ye Zixun looked at her with the same gaze.
So scary...
Men are all a bunch of terrifying creatures!
The atmosphere became slightly awkward, and to ease the tension, Lan Baobao had no choice but to change the subject: "What are you waiting for? Let's hurry up and leave before someone catches us."
With that, Lan Baobao tiptoed toward the back yard gate, while Mu Jiangfeng followed behind with an extremely handsome demeanor, creating a stark contrast between them.
In the back of the garden, there weren't many people around.
The yard was quite large, with a significant area covered in grass. Looking around, there weren't many places to hide.
Moreover, there were surveillance cameras here, and the railings surrounding the back yard were electrified.
This was all prepared to prevent anyone from sneaking in from outside.
If someone with ill intentions were to enter from outside, they would be burned to a crisp by the electrified railings. If they died, it would be their own fault, and no one would take responsibility!
The servants of the Ye Family had great confidence in this defense system and usually didn't patrol this area due to lack of time.
At this moment, Grandpa Ye had just gone out. The servants of the Ye Family, having completed their duties, were either stationed at their posts or dozing off, or engaging in some trivial activities.
The atmosphere inside the house was harmonious, and no one noticed that their Young Mistress was climbing over the railings in the back yard!
"Mu Jiangfeng, come over quickly! I'm going to pull you up!"
She came to pull him?
Mu Jiangfeng saw that the baby was agile, already sitting on the railing after flipping up from the ground.
She reached out to grab his hand.
Her heart was very curious.
This guy, isn't he supposed to be as good at sports as he is with his brain? How come he is so agile now!
"Why are you still dazed? Hurry up and come over! It won't be good if someone finds us!"
Lan Baobao had a slightly reproachful tone.
Her expression seemed to question Mu Jiangfeng: "You big man, you actually need a woman to help you climb over the wall. How embarrassing!"
Mu Jiangfeng smiled slightly, took a running start, hooked his hand over the top of the wall, and elegantly leaped over it. At the same time, he spread his arms and said smoothly, "Baby, come down! I'll catch you!"
"No need, there's something to step on over here!"
The railing was the best prop for Lan Baobao; she pushed off with her legs and slid down from above.
She was also an agile woman!
As soon as she landed, she took a deep breath. Ah, the air outside is really refreshing!
It was filled with the scent of freedom!
Mu Jiangfeng looked at Lan Baobao and curiously asked, "Baby, can I ask you a question?"
"!"
"Aren't you supposed to have good motor skills? Just now, you were scared to death and didn't dare to come down from a two-meter high place, but now you're coming down smoothly from over four meters! And this place is electrified; aren't you afraid?"
Afraid?
Lan Baobao bit her lip and thought for a moment before calmly saying, "This is a railing; I can climb down. Over there is a wall with no place for me to step! I can come down smoothly from up there!
As for the electricity... Brother Mu has already taken care of it, so let's just assume it's all sorted out!"
"Assume it's sorted out?" Mu Jiangfeng twitched his lips and asked, "Then what if Brother Mu hasn't taken care of it?"
"Well..." She really hadn't thought that far. "If it turns out he hasn't successfully cut the power... then, I'll just get shocked a little!
Usually, when warned not to get close to the railing because of electricity, I haven't left this spot.
But if by chance I do get shocked, then I'll just consider it an experience!"
Experience? To risk her life for an experience? Mu Jiangfeng truly admired Lan Baobao to the point of being in awe!
Lan Baobao smiled, completely unconcerned about the situation.
In fact, when Mu Jiangfeng entered, Lan Baobao had already confirmed that the railing had been dealt with by Brother Mu.
Otherwise, Mu Jiangfeng would never have been able to get close to the window and would have been electrocuted into a piece of charcoal.
Although her reasoning was sound, she still didn't come out.
People should act a bit more foolish sometimes.
If others knew how clever she was, it wouldn't be good!
"Let's go, my car is over there!"
Mu Jiangfeng pointed to a row of cypress trees across the street.
Outside the back gate, Mu Jiangfeng had already sent someone to wait at the entrance.
There was a completely black steel sedan over there, which looked very luxurious. Lan Baobao swallowed hard and resolutely got into the car.
The driver was Mu Jiangfeng's assistant, who seemed to have the surname Li.
After Lan Baobao got in the car, she hadn't had a chance to greet her when the woman stepped on the gas pedal, and the car suddenly roared to life, startling Lan Baobao.
"This car really has great responsiveness!"
Lan Baobao rolled down the window; although the wind was strong and slightly uncomfortable against her face, her heart felt very comfortable!
"What a pleasant breeze! I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time!"
"Doesn't it feel great outside? Isn't it better than being at Ye Zixun's house?"
"After being cooped up for so long, I feel like I'm about to rust and mold at home! Right now, I feel great, my mood is so good!"
Lan Baobao chuckled foolishly.
Finally, she had successfully freed herself from the Ye Family. At this moment, Lan Baobao seemed to have completely shed her previous worries.
She felt refreshed and exhilarated, having been trapped in the Ye Family for so long. It was such a relief to breathe in the air of freedom. Seeing the flowers and plants along the way, even though Lan Baobao didn't recognize any of them, she still felt a deep sense of familiarity!
Even the dust kicked up by passing cars made Lan Baobao feel incredibly cheerful!
For a moment, Lan Baobao thought life was still full of hope; it hadn't abandoned her!
Next on her agenda was to give Li Xiaoran a big surprise, then the two of them would go on a shopping spree, and finally get their visas to travel around several countries in Europe.
After all, the money from the Ye Family was so abundant that it seemed impossible to spend it all. Lan Baobao thought that her spending could promote the circulation of wealth, economic development, and GDP growth—what's not to love about that?
"Mu Jiangfeng, just drop me off at Huahai Area, and I'll have Xiaoran come pick me up later." As Lan Baobao gazed out the window at the scenery, she casually added.
However, she waited for a response that never came. The man sitting next to her remained silent, which puzzled Lan Baobao. She turned to him and continued, "If Huahai Area isn't convenient for you, anywhere else is fine. Xiaoran will come to pick me up; I can't delay your work too much.
I can stay at Xiao Xiao's place. It's been ages since I went out with Xiao Xiao. This time, we have to have a great time! I want to shop first and then feast on lots of delicious food. I've already planned everything! I'm just waiting to see Xiao Xiao so we can enjoy ourselves!"
