Chapter 649 - 651: Drawing the Attention of the World to Her
Jiang Xue clutched the railing. The wind on the rooftop was strong, blowing her hair into disarray.
Hearing Nangong Yaoling’s words, a slight triumphant smile flashed in her eyes, hidden by her black hair.
She turned to look at Nangong Yaoling, furrowing her brows and pointing at him in agitation: "Don’t come closer! Or I’ll jump!"
Nangong Yaoling gritted his teeth and urged, "Please, stop this! Okay? I’m already here, what more do you want?"
Jiang Xue’s eyes reddened, and she cried, "You don’t care about me at all! Everything you said was a lie! Didn’t you say you wanted a divorce? Why did you attend the press conference? Do you want to announce to the world that you dumped me?"
"That’s not true!" Nangong Yaoling hastily said, "I had no choice! It’s all my fault. Please, come down, okay?"
As he spoke, he tried to slowly approach her.
Jiang Xue raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Really? Are you truly forced into this?"
Nangong Yaoling nodded: "Of course!"
As he spoke, he took a quick step toward her and pulled her down from the steps.
"Ah..." Jiang Xue screamed, falling to the ground with Nangong Yaoling.
Nangong Yaoling held her in his arms, looking at her with heartfelt concern: "Are you okay, Xue’er?"
Jiang Xue looked at Nangong Yaoling’s handsome face, which was so close to her.
In his eyes was deep concern and affection.
This man was genuinely very, very good to her. For some reason, she felt a slight flutter in her heart.
She reached out and cupped Nangong Yaoling’s handsome face, instinctively kissing his lips.
This was the first time since she’d become "Qiqi" that she truly wanted to kiss this man from the bottom of her heart. Even though staying by his side had always felt a bit unreal.
She tried her best to play the role of Qiqi.
All she needed to do was to try and capture his heart, but now, for some reason, she was suddenly moved by his tension and concern.
She wondered, if she really jumped one day, would there be another man who would treat her like Nangong Yaoling did?
And Situ Yan, would he really care whether she lived or died?
In her heart, she knew the answer better than anyone.
She just didn’t want to believe it!
Nangong Yaoling, being kissed by Jiang Xue, wanted to break free but couldn’t resist her. After all, she was very emotional right now. He didn’t want to anger her again.
He thought of the girl who once risked her life to fight the thugs for him, of that most beautiful night of his life five years ago.
He could no longer harden his heart against her.
This woman was like the softest touchstone in his heart.
He couldn’t erase her, nor remove her.
He gently returned her kiss, and after a while, they finally parted.
Jiang Xue looked at Nangong Yaoling, her fingertips trailing across his perfect, handsome face.
"Nangong Yaoling, if only you could always treat me this well forever."
Nangong Yaoling was taken aback for a moment.
"I will never let you get hurt!" he said firmly, yet astutely avoided her words.
Jiang Xue suddenly reached out and hugged Nangong Yaoling.
She suddenly thought, if she could always be Qiqi, how great would that be?
In fact, this man originally belonged to her, didn’t he? It was Xia Xiaonuan who intervened and took away the happiness that should have been hers.
Jiang Xue’s eyes welled up, greedily inhaling Nangong Yaoling’s scent.
In all the years she had lived, this was the only moment that felt the most intimate and warm.
