Chapter 559 - 561: She Will Marry Him in the Future
Xia Xiaonuan folded her hands, her fingertips twirling constantly.
Until the car slowly stopped under the apartment building.
When Xia Xiaonuan opened the car door to get out, she turned back and said, "Thank you for bringing me back."
"You’re welcome."
"Um, I... I live upstairs, at a friend’s place... do you want to come up for a bit?" she asked courageously.
Liang Shaochen’s expression seemed to freeze for a moment.
His clear eyes flashed with a fleeting sparkle.
But soon, he just smiled and said lightly, "No need, I still have things at the company, maybe another day."
In Xia Xiaonuan’s eyes, a trace of disappointment flickered, barely noticeable, but she quickly smiled and said, "Alright, then goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Until his car disappeared from view, Xia Xiaonuan still stood dumbly at the entrance of the unit.
She stretched out her hand and hit her own mouth forcefully.
Why do I act so strangely every time I face him! Xia Xiaonuan, what is wrong with you!
...
The car drove steadily on the road, the calm expression Liang Shaochen had tried so hard to maintain finally collapsed completely.
He felt like his whole body had been heavily punched, making it difficult to continue. Regardless of whether parking was allowed, he pulled the car over to the side of the road.
He took out a cigarette and lit it.
The phone rang, and he took it out to look.
——Nangong Zhongli.
Without thinking, he tossed the phone aside.
The phone kept ringing, but he pretended not to hear; instead, he opened the car door and got out.
At the intersection nearby, a couple walked by, closely entwined, very sweet.
The girl whispered something in the boy’s ear, making him laugh out loud, and he reached out to ruffle her hair.
Then he put her hand inside his jacket.
"Cold, right? Put your hand in..."
"Okay, your arm is so warm..."
Liang Shaochen suddenly remembered the winters at the orphanage when the kids often played snowball fights.
He didn’t like playing, so he just sat by and watched Qiqi play.
Qiqi was always the first one to excitedly rush into battle with others, only to be the first to get pelted and flee in defeat.
With snow stuffed in her clothes, she ran to him shivering, pulling a face and whining, "It’s freezing..." She even stretched out her little hand to him like a spoiled child.
Nan Mo would clasp her icy hand tightly with his warm hand from inside his clothes, blowing warm air over it.
"I told you not to play, now you’re covered in snow." He said while helping to brush the snow off her clothes.
"They ganged up to bully me! Boohoo, Nan Mo, you have to help me get revenge!"
He glanced at her. Then he extended his hand: "Give me your gloves..."
Qiqi hopped over and gave him her little gloves. His hands were bigger than hers, so the gloves only covered his hands, leaving his wrists exposed.
But that didn’t stop him from getting revenge for Qiqi.
The boys were already tired from playing, and it didn’t take him long to pelt them with snow until they fled in all directions.
Qiqi saw this and laughed triumphantly.
Then she ran up and threw herself at Nan Mo: "Nan Mo, you’re so amazing! Hahaha..."
He didn’t expect her to suddenly pounce, and he staggered, almost falling.
His hands and feet had been freezing cold, his whole body shaking, but her hug instantly warmed him up.
The boys, angry, shouted at them: "Nan Mo, why are you so good to Qiqi? She’s not your wife!"
