Chapter 1591: Chapter 1608: Proving How Well We Know Each Other

The cars behind them were honking in unison, the cacophony echoing in their ears. She struggled desperately, and just when she felt completely powerless, he finally showed mercy and released her.

"You... you’re crazy." Xiaonuan pushed him away, covering her mouth with one hand, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Nangong Yaoling continued to stare at her, his eyes carrying a hint of allure but his expression had a mocking smile as he said, "I just wanted to confirm how familiar I am." He paused, then added coldly, "It seems Miss Xia has been living too freely abroad, so much so that she’s become forgetful."

After saying this, he completely let go of her and turned to start the car.

Only then did Xia Xiaonuan suddenly remember that he was still bothered about what she had said before, ’We’re not that familiar.’

Back then, he hadn’t reacted much, and she thought he wasn’t bothered at all.

A heart as small as a needle...

She silently cursed in her heart, glancing at him with the corner of her eye.

He was focused solely on driving, not saying another word.

As the car reached the hotel entrance, and Xiaonuan was about to get out, he suddenly said, "Give me your phone."

She was slightly taken aback.

"I don’t know your number, how can you ask me for my things?"

Helplessly, Xiaonuan took out her phone and said, "I’ll... I’ll call you instead."

With that, she began dialing his number.

However, as she swiftly pressed a series of numbers and was about to connect the call, all of a sudden, her face flushed deeply.

She hung her head, closed her eyes, and bit her lower lip, wishing desperately that she had the superpower to take back what she had just said.

But it was too late for anything now.

Feeling his intense gaze on her, she reached out to delete the numbers she had dialed, but sure enough, Nangong Yaoling finally spoke.

"Didn’t expect you would still remember my number?"

She lifted her eyes slightly, glancing at Nangong Yaoling. His expression seemed as though he had just hit the jackpot compared to before.

His eyes held a captivating smile, even his eyebrows were raised in delight.

In a fluster, Xiaonuan tried to cover up her embarrassment, "Ah... You... you changed your number, right..."

"No, it’s the one you just dialed," he said.

Xia Xiaonuan: "..."

She pressed the call button, and two seconds later, the phone on his body started ringing.

Xiaonuan practically didn’t dare to look at him, only lowered her head and said, "I... I’m leaving..." With that, she opened the car door and almost fled toward the hotel’s entrance.

Nangong Yaoling sat in the car, his gaze unwaveringly fixed on the direction Xiaonuan left.

The curve of his lips formed a smile, and his handsome face was lit up with joy, like a rainbow appearing suddenly after a storm.

Until that petite figure entered the hotel lobby, he didn’t blink, as if afraid that one blink would make the sight disappear.

However, through the hotel’s glass wall, he saw her sprinting inside and a little boy running out to her. She crouched down, and the boy immediately jumped into her arms.

At that moment, the rainbow on his face vanished.

Replaced by a sense of loss after the initial excitement, an unexpected pang of pain sliced through his heart like a sharp knife.

Due to the distance, he couldn’t see the boy’s face clearly. But he saw her gently stroking the boy’s head, and then picking him up, speaking softly to him as they headed toward the elevators.
