Chapter 865 - 885: A Kiss on the Cheek Is No Big Deal
Suddenly, you’re not as pained and conflicted.
Yes, she truly had no other options. She knew that without Situ Yan by her side, no matter where she went, Nangong Zhongli’s capabilities would likely allow him to find her.
Her words from that day still echoed clearly.
As long as she wanted, at any time, she might harm her and her unborn child once more.
And she... was Nangong Yaoling’s sister.
She didn’t want Nangong Yaoling to turn against Nangong Zhongli because of her.
But she wouldn’t let anyone hurt her child either.
So... now, having Situ Yan meant an extra layer of protection.
Nangong Zhongli couldn’t easily touch her, and only by leaving with Situ Yan would she feel at ease!
Xia Xiaonuan curled her lips and didn’t pull away the hand held by his broad palm.
Instead, she smiled faintly and said, "Alright, don’t worry, I won’t regret it."
"Better be so!" Situ Yan chuckled smugly, lowered his head, and kissed the back of her hand.
Xia Xiaonuan awkwardly withdrew her hand.
Situ Yan’s face changed slightly, and Xia Xiaonuan quickly said, "I have something to ask your help with tomorrow!"
"What is it? Between us, there’s no need to mention ’help’," Situ Yan looked at her intensely and said with a hint of tease.
Xia Xiaonuan almost didn’t dare meet his gaze and lowered her head to look at the book on her lap, "I... I want to meet my friend before leaving."
"Your friend?"
"Her name is Qi Yue, she’s my best friend... I have things to entrust her with."
Situ Yan nodded, "Alright... I’ll personally bring her to the hospital tomorrow."
"Hmm, I’ll call her in a while. You should get some rest, no need to stay with me."
Situ Yan said, "I like being with you, the whole night with you, not sleeping doesn’t make me feel tired."
"Not sleeping? Are you kidding, we have a flight tomorrow, isn’t it a long journey?"
"Yes... why do I suddenly feel like I’m going to marry a bride, like I’ll be sleepless tonight." Situ Yan looked deeply at her and said.
Xia Xiaonuan was amused by him, yet her cheeks turned a rosy hue.
"Situ Yan! Can’t you be more serious?"
"I’m very serious..." Situ Yan grabbed the corner of her blanket, "Look, you don’t even let me touch your hand, let alone kiss you!
Although I agreed to the six-month promise, you’re too harsh. Actually... kissing your cheek or holding your hand is nothing... abroad this is like just saying hello, and... we already have a child... you keep teasing me like this, so heartless!" Situ Yan moved a centimeter closer to her with each word.
By the end, his face was almost touching hers.
The warmth of his breath was on her face as he spoke. Xia Xiaonuan kept retreating as he advanced, his lips almost brushing against hers.
His gaze was so intense, as if he would devour her the next moment.
Xia Xiaonuan hurriedly extended her hand to block his lips. This man was getting more and more outrageous.
Who already has a child with him? He really treated her child as his own! She simply didn’t know what to say to him!
She was somewhat angry and said coldly, "Situ Yan, if you continue this, I... I won’t go with you!"
Situ Yan was stunned and quickly moved away from her.
"You’re such a woman, how come you don’t have any sense of romance?!" He was slightly angry too, raising his eyebrows and glaring at her as he spoke.
