Chapter 623 - 625: Sometimes Like a Demon
"How... how did you get in?" she asked, breathing in the faint scent of green tea on his body, her heart pounding fiercely."Nangong Yaoling locked me up and wouldn’t let me see you! Luckily, our rooms were only one apart. I climbed over from the terrace!" Shaochen said through gritted teeth.
His low voice echoed in her ears, and Xia Xiaonuan couldn’t help but laugh.
"Shaochen... I’m just glad you’re alright... I was so worried about you..."
"I’m fine!" Shaochen let go of her and held her face.
His deep gaze was fixed on her, moving across her face.
"Qiqi... I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for not protecting you! If something really happened to you this time, I wouldn’t continue living in this world!"
Xia Xiaonuan’s body shook, and she quickly reached out to cover his lips.
"Don’t say that! Aren’t I perfectly fine?" she scolded.
Shaochen smiled, his warm large hand holding hers: "Yes... luckily you’re okay... luckily." He held her hand in his, brought it to his lips, and kissed the back of her hand fervently.
In his pupils, there was a mixture of self-blame and fear.
Feeling complicated, Xia Xiaonuan explained: "That day, when you climbed into the box, a kid told me you were there, I thought they had set up a trap and you were just teasing me. I never expected this would happen..."
At this point, her eyes turned red.
Shaochen interrupted her, still full of self-blame: "I’m sorry... I shouldn’t have participated in the game... I should have insisted on staying with you..."
Xia Xiaonuan shook her head: "No, it’s not your fault!"
She remembered that day, it was she who insisted on pranking him into participating in the game. If she hadn’t been so curious, the villains might not have had the chance to take advantage.
But then again, since someone had already set their sights on them, even if they were careful this time, they might fall into traps in the future.
Shaochen held her hand, his gaze deep and passionate, with a hint of intensity.
Slowly, he lowered his head, gradually getting closer to her.
Xia Xiaonuan’s heart suddenly tensed, and Nangong Yaoling’s face and his words surfaced in her mind.
As his handsome face approached and his lips were about to touch hers, she quickly turned her cheek.
Shaochen’s body stiffened there.
A few seconds later, he lifted his head, looking hurt.
"Qiqi..." he murmured painfully, "You... are you still angry with me?"
She had actually avoided him!
Her sudden behavior towards him felt even more painful than if someone had cut him with a knife, compared to her previous tenderness.
Xia Xiaonuan quickly shook her head, nervously explaining: "No... it’s not like that... it’s just..." she glanced at the door.
"You should go quickly, if Nangong Yaoling comes back, he absolutely won’t let you off!"
"I’m not afraid!" Shaochen gripped her shoulders: "Xiaonuan... for you, I don’t care about anything! As long as your heart is with me, no one can separate us!"
Xia Xiaonuan sighed.
Thinking of Nangong Yaoling’s words, he said he would acquire the Liang Family.
With his personality, if he really got angry, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do!
After everything, Xia Xiaonuan was finally subdued by Nangong Yaoling!
Sometimes, he’s like an extremist, other times, like a devil!
All in all, when that man gets angry, he’s truly terrifying!
