Chapter 805 - 806: Entwined Breaths
The carriage was narrow, and the two of them were facing each other in an embrace, their faces so close that they could feel each other’s breaths intertwining.
Li Tingyan looked at Nianyang’s exquisite and beautiful face. Without expression, he spoke, "I was so afraid you might be in danger, I rushed over without even reporting the project, and this is the scene you let me face?"
"I..."
Nianyang was suddenly a bit tongue-tied, probably because it was the first time seeing Li Tingyan being so serious... no, it should be the second time; the last time was because of Lu Chi.
She wasn’t good at comforting people, and besides, Li Tingyan was always easily comforted, so seeing him so seriously angry now, unable to be comforted, left her a bit at a loss.
Li Tingyan sighed, "Chu Nianyang, when will you realize that you’re not alone, you have a husband? If you keep impulsively disregarding your safety like you did today, how can we safely spend our lives together?"
Nianyang, unable to respond to his reproach, stayed silent as Li Tingyan, in a bad mood, didn’t want to say more and pushed her back into the passenger seat.
Silence all the way home, neither spoke to the other.
Is this a cold war?
In the shower, Nianyang thought to herself, she seemed to be experiencing a cold war with Li Tingyan for the first time, having previously reconciled within three seconds of any argument, finding the situation quite novel.
But despite the cold war, they still slept together.
Nianyang took a shower, put on her pajamas, and when she came out, she saw a dent in the big bed; the man had already gone to sleep.
In the past, no matter what time it was, he always waited for her to get into bed before sleeping; this was the first time he didn’t wait for her?
A woman in love is a fragile glass doll, and Nianyang suddenly felt upset, dragging herself onto the bed with a bit of resentment, turning her back.
If he doesn’t care about me, then I won’t care about him; let’s see who can last longer.
But the man’s presence was too apparent beside her, Nianyang was already used to it, needing to hold him to fall asleep, so she found herself unable to sleep.
Nianyang thought, Li Tingyan had comforted her many times in the past, this time it should be her turn; besides, Li Tingyan was angry for her sake, how could she be so heartless, being such a poor girlfriend.
So she dragged herself over, for the first time proactively, and hugged the man’s slender back from behind.
She distinctly felt the man’s back stiffen; he wasn’t asleep.
"Tingyan..."
She called him softly, her voice tender as the wind, stirring unease.
The man said hoarsely, "Nini, let go, sleep."
"I won’t." Nianyang boldly climbed onto Li Tingyan’s body, pressing her face to his chest which was only covered by a shirt, feeling his warmth and inhaling his scent.
She let out a sigh, "Tingyan, I really didn’t mean to disregard my life, but I suspected they were targeting me because at that time I was closest to Shi Feng, and the old woman deliberately charged towards Shi Feng, knowing I’d save him and consequently die; in the end, it was my fault for implicating Shi Feng, so how could you ask me to give up?"
Li Tingyan spoke softly, "Why do you think that way?"
Nianyang said, "Didn’t you suspect? Clearly, it was Jade King who ran inside, but it was the old woman who came out; I suspect they are actually the same person, otherwise how could Jade King disappear right under our noses?"
