Chapter 1590: Chapter 1607: Let’s Prove How Close We Are

Xia Xiaonuan: "..."

She scratched her scalp with her hand, glanced at Nangong Yaoling, and lied with a straight face, "No..."

Nangong Yaoling didn’t look at her, he focused on the road conditions, showing no reaction at all.

Just when Xiaonuan almost thought he hadn’t heard her speak, he suddenly let out a cold snort.

"No wonder, no man would incompetently let his wife and children stay in a hotel."

Xia Xiaonuan: "..."

She noticed his face looked a bit grim, his profile appeared more cold and distant than before, yet she felt the familiar Nangong Yaoling seemed to have returned.

Even though he tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, she still found his jealous appearance quite amusing.

She knew he was battling with that detestable imaginary enemy in his heart.

But she would never tell him that he himself was the incompetent man she referred to...

She turned her face away, looking out the window at the flickering neon lights on the street, the city seemed to be draped in a dreamy coat as the lights came on, she curled her lips into a smile, feeling shrouded in a gilded dream.

"Hiss——" An abrupt sharp brake almost made Xia Xiaonuan crash into the car window.

"Are you crazy!"

She exclaimed, covering her pounding chest with her hand due to the sudden scare, realizing there was a red light ahead.

At this moment, Nangong Yaoling was holding the steering wheel, staring straight ahead, his expression seemed somewhat bewildered.

After two seconds, he turned his head to look at her.

He gripped the steering wheel with one hand, while the other slowly supported the backrest behind Xiaonuan.

"Sometimes I really admire you." He lowered his gaze, watching her, saying somewhat inexplicably, "I’m wondering what your heart is made of."

After saying this, his lips curved into a lazy smile, his face as exquisite as an Italian sculpture, now enveloped in the splendor of the night, colored lights casting light and shadow on his face, seemingly both real and illusionary, yet so dazzling it was heart-stopping.

But his pupils grew ever deeper, the intense light burning within his dark eyes pierced straight into Xia Xiaonuan’s heart, making her heart pound chaotically.

The oxygen in the car suddenly seemed to be drained away, within the flicker of the brilliance she suddenly felt a bit scared, and indeed in the next second, he suddenly grabbed her face and kissed her fiercely.

His strength was so great, carrying a rush of brute force, biting her painfully. But it wasn’t just her lips that hurt, her heart felt like it was being devoured by countless carnivorous ants in a tropical rainforest.

She suddenly thought of these past three years, how countless times she unwittingly reminisced about the times she spent with him.

She thought of the first time she met him, and her disdain towards his overbearing, selfish manner; thought of the time he said he would conquer her; thought of when she was held hostage by bad guys at his company, and he used his life to trade for hers when the bomb exploded instantly; thought of when he was wounded and lacked a blood source, she knelt down to beg Jiang Xue to save his life;

Thought of when she was kidnapped in Phuket, and in the most desperate moment, he appeared before her; thought of...

Too many unforgettable memories, these past three years, like countless vines, entwined her thoughts and heart.

But in the end, she thought of when he threw a check in her face, severing all ties with her.

She finally understood, all the memories had ultimately become the past.
