âDonât~â An Nuonuo instinctively refused.
âDonât means do.â Jiang Xu drove with one hand.
The other hand rested on An Nuonuoâs leg.
She was wearing a white, long dress today.
Very thin.
Through the fabric, he could feel the warmth coming from the girlâs leg.
The two had been apart for over a month.
The touch of their bodies made both of them shudder slightly.
An Nuonuo subconsciously grabbed Jiang Xuâs hand.
She wanted to pull it away, but ultimately, she didnât.
Instead, she lowered her head, not knowing what to think.
Jiang Xu saw her ears turn red.
His own breathing became hasty as well.
So, he floored the accelerator.
He had urgent matters and needed to get home quickly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDrive slower, be careful,â An Nuonuo said softly.
The car was now on a country road.
There were no surveillance devices or anything of the sort around.
Jiang Xuâs car was at the very front.
It would take at least four hours to get back to Magic City.
Jiang Xu did not want to wait too long.
So he softly said, âNuonuo, do you remember the last movie we watched?â
An Nuonuo: âHuh?â
Jiang Xu: âThe one where the male lead was driving on the highway, and then the female lead⦠you get the drift?â
An Nuonuoâs face, already somewhat red, now seemed like it could bleed at any moment.
She shook her head repeatedly.
This topic was beyond her, she couldnât handle it.
âNuonuo~â Jiang Xu said in a low, haunting tone, âYou need to âweakenâ my strength now, so you can suffer less later when we get back home.â
An Nuonuo: ââ¦â
It was unclear whether Jiang Xuâs âthreatâ worked, or if An Nuonuo was just obedient.
In any case, she agreed.
The console of the car that Jiang Xu drove had been modified.
It could be lifted directly, making the space between the driver and passenger seats completely unobstructed.
However, as An Nuonuo moved to sit beside him, she was still hesitant: âCould we be caught on camera?â
Jiang Xu: âNo, this is a country road, there are no surveillance cameras here, and there are no houses around, so donât worry.â
The next second An Nuonuo fell silent.
Because she couldnât speak.
Jiang Xuâs gaze was intense.
Behind Jiang Xu, Jiang Xiaoyan was driving.
The passenger seat was occupied by Zhou Qingyue.
After more than a month of recovery, Zhou Qingyueâs leg had healed quite a bit.
She had the doctors check on it just two days before shooting ended.
The doctor said that as long as nothing unexpected happened, she could be walking like a normal person in another month.
âStrange, why has Jiang Xuâs speed dropped?â Jiang Xiaoyan muttered.
Then she stepped on the accelerator, quickly pulling up alongside the lead car.
âHuh? Whereâs An Nuonuo?â
Jiang Xuâs car was on the left, so when Jiang Xiaoyan looked to the left, she should have seen An Nuonuo first.
But she didnât see her.
Zhou Qingyue also looked over.
All she saw was Jiang Xu driving.
There was a split-second of confusion, then Zhou Qingyue slapped her thigh: âOh man, they really know how to have fun.â
âTheyâre damn crazy!â Jiang Xiaoyan realized too, grinding her teeth in anger.
Furious, Jiang Xiaoyan pressed the horn insistently.
The sudden, consecutive horn sounds nearly shocked Jiang Xiao.
An Nuonuo was even more panicky.
Jiang Xu said sternly, âDonât panic, I will explain to them later, you were just lying down to rest after lowering the seat.â
Jiang Xu had wanted to speed up, but then he thought it might seem too suspicious.
So he maintained a steady speed.
After the initial shock, Zhou Qingyue came around, âCould it be that itâs not what we think?â
âHmph!â Jiang Xiaoyan said with a murderous look, âWhat else could it be?!â
Zhou Qingyue, âWhat if An Nuonuo was just lying down to rest, which is why we didnât see her.â
She felt that An Nuonuo wouldnât be so bold.
Indeed, An Nuonuo herself definitely wouldnât do such a thing.
Itâs just that she loved Jiang Xu too much.
For this man, she didnât hesitate to transfer billions of assets to Jiang Xuâs name.
The relationship between Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo is hard for outsiders to understand.
Both are willing to give their lives for each other.
Jiang Xiaoyan thought about it and it made some sense.
âOr maybeâ¦â Jiang Xiaoyan looked at Zhou Qingyue, âyou call him and test the waters?â
âGet lost.â Zhou Qingyue rolled her eyes hard, âDo you think Iâm an idiot?â
This kind of thankless task, she would never do.
At that moment, Jiang Xiaoyan really wanted to know what Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo were doing in the car.
She thought several times about calling.
But in the end, she gave up.
Mainly because she was afraid Jiang Xu would be unhappy.
Then he might get angry and ignore her.
Zhou Qingyueâs lips curled up, âIâll teach you a trick to find out if they areâ¦â
Jiang Xiaoyan hurriedly asked, âQuick, whatâs the trick?!â
Zhou Qingyue, âJust wait a bit and then call Jiang Xu, suggesting to find a place to rest and have some food.â
âThen you can take the opportunity to go talk to An Nuonuo⦠it will all become clear.â
âTsk tsk tsk.â Jiang Xiaoyan patted Zhou Qingyueâs shoulder, âYouâre quite experienced too.â
Zhou Qingyue, âDonât talk nonsense, I just heard it from someone else.â
Jiang Xiaoyan, âI get it, I get it.â
Zhou Qingyue, ââ¦â
After driving for an hour, An Nuonuo opened a bottle of cola and took a few sips.
Jiang Xu suggested, âHave some spicy strips to settle the taste.â
âOkay~â An Nuonuo obediently followed.
After eating a few spicy strips, An Nuonuo turned to look at Jiang Xu, âBrother Xu, do you really like this sort of thing?â
Jiang Xu replied with high emotional intelligence, âItâs not that I like this, but I enjoy exploring all these new things with you.â
âThis will become one of our most beautiful memories in the future.â
An Nuonuo was touched, âSo thatâs it, Iâm sorry, I misunderstood you earlier.â
Jiang Xu, âYou misunderstood me about what?â
An Nuonuo said embarrassedly, âEarlier I thought Brother Xu was just a pervert.â
ââ¦â Jiang Xu, âYour assumption was correct.â
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyan called, saying they should take a break.
Jiang Xu pulled over to the side.
The car had just reached the highway.
There were many places to park here.
âCome on, letâs eat.â
Jiang Xiaoyan brought out a lot of food and called everyone to eat.
âNuonuo~â Jiang Xiaoyan came over with a bottle of drink, âHere, this is for you.â
âThank you, Sister Xiao Yan.â
âAh, your lipstick is smudged, let me see.â
Without waiting for An Nuonuo to react, Jiang Xiaoyan came closer.
She sniffed hard with her nose.
Hmm?
No smell of hydrangea!
Instead, she smelt the spicy strips.
Damn, it must have been done on purpose, just to destroy the evidence.
An Nuonuo couldnât come up with such a tactic, it must have been taught by Jiang Xu.
âAh, is my lipstick smudged?â An Nuonuo was a bit panicked.
Because she wondered if it might be because of what had happened just beforeâ¦
