Chapter 523 - 525: Come with Me Tonight
"By the way... I wonder how Shaochen is doing?"Nangong Feihong smiled and said, "He’s fine, he’ll be discharged in a few days. He wanted to come today, but the doctor wouldn’t let him out, so he’s probably feeling pretty down right now!"
Xia Xiaonuan’s heart sank a little.
Nan Mo... this is the first Christmas since I found you. Unexpectedly, I’m spending it with someone else.
After the dance finished, Xia Xiaonuan walked to the front.
Rows of huge turkeys were laid out in front.
There were various cakes, desserts, champagne, amber-colored liquid swirling in water glasses.
Just as Xia Xiaonuan was busy devouring a drumstick, she was suddenly tapped from behind.
She hesitated slightly before turning around.
She saw a strange man in black, wearing a cloak and a mask.
"Who are you..." Xia Xiaonuan wiped her mouth with a napkin, asking in confusion.
Situ Yan watched the girl widen her clearly defined eyes, looking puzzled, with oil still on her lips, and couldn’t help but smile faintly.
Sudenly, a large hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her into the crowd’s dance floor.
Xia Xiaonuan hesitated, quickly took a sip of champagne, guessing that this person must know her. After all, ordinary people were kept out by security at this party.
In the corner, several large heaters were blowing warm air; though outside, it felt no different than indoors.
And fireworks could be seen overhead.
Xia Xiaonuan placed her wine glass on the tray of a passing server.
Looking at Situ Yan, she said, "You... who are you... Ah..."
Her body was suddenly swung forcefully, thrown into the air, and pulled back.
She landed in his arms.
The scent on him was so familiar...
She struggled uneasily, "Let go of me, I’ll call for help!"
Situ Yan bowed his head and whispered in her ear, "It’s me..."
Xia Xiaonuan froze for a moment at those words, then immediately realized it was Situ Yan.
She looked at him in disbelief, his eagle-like sharp eyes held a hint of a smile.
Xia Xiaonuan quickly glanced around.
Nangong Yaoling was being pestered by Liang Yuzhu, unable to break free.
Everyone else was wildly partying.
Luckily, no one noticed them.
"You’re crazy!" Xia Xiaonuan glared at Situ Yan, "What if someone discovers you suddenly appearing here?"
Situ Yan said, "I’m crazy. When I saw you on his horseback, I wanted to shoot his head off!"
Xia Xiaonuan was speechless, "Let go of me, hurry and leave."
Situ Yan bent down, whispering ambiguously in her ear, "Go with me tonight..."
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
Not far away, Nangong Yaoling started searching with his gaze.
Xia Xiaonuan was just here a moment ago?
Too many people, and all were wearing masks.
"Crown Prince, what are you looking at?"
Nangong Yaoling searched around but couldn’t find Xia Xiaonuan.
His face changed subtly, he released Liang Yuzhu, and walked towards the crowd.
"Yaoling!" Liang Yuzhu stomped angrily.
Over there, several Santa Clauses were performing, attracting a large crowd.
Situ Yan took Xia Xiaonuan to a corner behind a rack and borrowed someone’s cloak, swapping with hers.
He also swapped her mask and crown.
"What are you doing? I’m not going with you!" Xia Xiaonuan pushed Situ Yan away and walked towards the crowd.
Situ Yan stepped forward, directly wrapping his arms around her from behind.
"You’re crazy!" Xia Xiaonuan whispered, "If you keep this up, I’ll call for help!"
"I missed you..." Situ Yan whispered in her ear.
