Chapter 333 - 112 The Intruder
"Ai Xiang, why is it you?" Yun Xiao curiously glanced around; there was no one else at the door, only her.
The man leaned casually against the balcony window, dressed in pure white; his clean garment’s hem dazzled like ice and snow. His face, which could upend the world, held a faint smile, but his eyes betrayed a hint of melancholy and coldness.
He tilted his head, facing the slightly yellow afternoon sunlight, and watched her for a while before he smiled lightly and said, "Who’s in a hurry to see her husband?"
His voice was more pleasant than she had ever felt, deep and husky, with a hint of unruly tenderness, as if endowed with magic power, causing one’s heartbeat to quicken.
Involuntarily, her cheeks flushed, then she stuttered, "I thought it was Xiao Xi who had forgotten to take something and come back. Do you have any business here? If you’re looking for her, then you’re too late, she just left."
Ai Xiang turned to face Yun Xiao.
It was only then that she saw the cigarette in his hand, burning for quite a long stretch; clearly not smoked but not discarded either, he just let it burn between his fingers.
He stepped forward, standing in front of her.
The tall figure blocked a patch of sunlight, and a very pleasant fragrance wafted over her. Yun Xiao didn’t know what it was, but it felt very comforting.
She took a step back, somewhat unnaturally, her cheeks reddening even more, not knowing what he intended to do.
