Chapter 704 - 715: Stay by My Side
"Xiaonuan... you love me, don’t you? I’m sorry... I shouldn’t have been entangled with other women..." He murmured during their kiss, his warm hand holding the back of her neck:
"Promise me, we’ll stay together from now on. I’ll completely cut ties with Jiang Xue, and you stop getting involved with other men to make me jealous, okay?"
Xia Xiaonuan heard his words and felt as if a needle had stabbed into her heart. A sharp, piercing pain.
She remained silent.
After a while, Nangong Yaoling finally let her go.
Her lips, kissed red and swollen by him, and her cheeks were flushed red.
Nangong Yaoling stared at her, a smile rising on his face.
"Are you shy?"
"No!" Xia Xiaonuan turned her face away awkwardly, only for him to turn it back.
"Did you understand what I just said?" he asked.
"What did you say?" Xia Xiaonuan deliberately played dumb.
"I said..." Nangong Yaoling wanted to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly found it difficult to say.
Those words, in that situation, were spoken out of impulse.
Now, with this woman making him repeat himself, he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
He had always been proud and self-assured, and had never lowered himself so much for a woman. What if this woman mocked him again? It would be humiliating!
"I said... stay by my side, the two of us, stay together. Did you understand?" Wait, who was speaking?
Nangong Yaoling’s grip on her shoulder tightened slightly, and he stared at her without blinking, his pupils filled with anticipation and intensity.
He still thickened his skin and said it.
If Xia Xiaonuan dared to refute or mock him, he would throw her out of the window!
"You..." Xia Xiaonuan felt as if a pool of spring water inside her heart had been hit by a stone, creating ripples.
Nangong Yaoling actually compromised to her?
"Can you let go of Jiang Xue?" she deliberately asked this, not knowing why, but she really wanted to know. What exactly were his feelings for Jiang Xue?
That woman, the first time he met her, he didn’t let go. Later, he stood up for her time and again. The level of concern was already alarming.
Could it be love at first sight? No, it might also be lust!
Nangong Yaoling’s pupils darkened slightly.
"I don’t know... maybe I can’t promise to completely erase her from my mind, but I can tell you with certainty that when I’m with you, I rarely think of her!
But when I’m with her, I still think of you..."
What kind of confession is this?
Xia Xiaonuan was not satisfied.
"You mean, with me by your side fulfilling your needs, you don’t need her. But as soon as I’m gone, you’ll run back to her?"
In the end, it seemed like Jiang Xue was her backup.
"It’s not like that!" Nangong Yaoling flustered: "Xia Xiaonuan, what’s wrong with your brain! I’ve made it very clear, I have you now, so I can completely sever ties with her!"
"Then what if someday I’m not here?" Xia Xiaonuan laughed coldly: "Will you then have an ambiguous relationship with her again?"
Nangong Yaoling was furious.
"As long as you’re by my side, I don’t need any other women!" Why are women so troublesome? No matter how he explained, she could always find faults.
He just didn’t want to lie to her; if it was purely to make her happy, he would simply say Jiang Xue was completely out of his mind!
