Chapter 1488: Chapter 1505: Seems Like They’ve Grown Again

"Miss you, come back early then." His hand involuntarily slipped into her clothes, kneading her chest.

Xiaonuan shrank back a little, feeling embarrassed.

Nangong Yaoling however grasped her more firmly.

"Hmm, it seems they’ve grown bigger again..."

Xia Xiaonuan: "..."

"I think, it’s not me you’re missing, it’s ’them’!"

Nangong Yaoling: "..."

With a smile crossing his handsome face, he extended his hand and lifted her chin.

Then, without hesitation, he lowered his head and captured her lips.

It was a short yet lingering kiss.

He looked at her and said, "Xiaonuan, how about I take you out for a trip in a couple of days?"

"Hmm?" Xiaonuan was taken aback: "Where to?"

"Wherever you want... within the country or abroad, France, Italy, England, take your pick."

Xia Xiaonuan’s eyes slightly brightened, feeling somewhat excited but couldn’t help being curious: "Why suddenly traveling? Don’t you have work?"

Nangong Yaoling extended his hand and lifted her chin: "Your mood hasn’t been great lately, you’ve lost weight, you definitely should get out for a walk."

Xiaonuan extended her hand, touching her own cheek.

"Really? I actually feel like I’ve gained weight," she said with a smile.

Though she was happy at the thought of going out with him, recalling the deadline Nangong Jinlie had given her, she started to worry again.

If only she could just leave with Nangong Yaoling and escape far away.

But, unfortunately, she knew this was impossible.

"Even if you gain another ten pounds, it would be just perfect..." Nangong Yaoling pulled her into his arms, kissing her forehead: "Xiaonuan, you... you... are really a fool."

Xia Xiaonuan was stunned, hurriedly breaking free, staring at him in displeasure: "How come I’m a fool again? How am I foolish?"

"You’re foolish! Otherwise, why would you fall in love with me?" Nangong Yaoling looked at her passionately, extending his hand to affectionately tap her nose tip.

Xiaonuan blinked her clear black-and-white eyes.

She was electrified by his deep and complex gaze.

"Hey, what’s wrong with you today? You seem strange?" Xia Xiaonuan asked uneasily.

The man smiled faintly, once again reaching out to hold her tight in his arms.

"I’m sorry..." he murmured, his voice low, with a hint of hoarseness, almost as if talking to himself.

Xia Xiaonuan: "..."

"Hmm? What are you saying?"

Nangong Yaoling closed his eyes, kissing her hair.

Scenes from this morning at Nangong Zhongli’s place surfaced in his mind.

Nangong Yaoling sat in front of the sofa drinking tea, somewhat impatiently watching Nangong Zhongli.

"I’m still going to a meeting later, you called me here, surely not just to have tea, right?"

"Brother..." Nangong Zhongli smiled, crossing arms and observing Nangong Yaoling: "Can’t you be a little patient? Regardless of anything, this might be a huge matter to you, remember that this could be the answer you’ve been seeking your whole life!"

The man’s handsome brows furrowed, his masculine features, half of his face darkened.

He curled his lips into a cold smile: "I have nothing to search for, because what I’m looking for is already with me, so you’re likely to be disappointed."

It was Nangong Zhongli’s turn to be stunned.

He suddenly widened his eyes, looking at Nangong Yaoling.
