So, Nangong Yaoling was eager to know if she ever thought about him.

Xia Xiaonuan nodded: "Mm... I did."

There was a flash of joy in his eyes.

He cupped her face: "How much have you thought about me?"

Xia Xiaonuan’s face reddened, her gaze dropped: "Just like how you think about me..."

Nangong Yaoling laughed: "How do you know what my thoughts about you are like?"

"..."

"If I weren’t thinking of you, would you stop thinking of me too?"

Xia Xiaonuan nodded: "Of course, if you’re not thinking of me, why should I think of you?"

"How can you be so heartless?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

He frowned, pinching her cheek.

Xia Xiaonuan let out a humph.

"I think about you every moment, every second." Nangong Yaoling hugged her tightly, speaking in her ear.

Xia Xiaonuan lifted the corner of her lips.

"Do you think of me the same way?"

"Mm... barely!" Xia Xiaonuan grinned mischievously. Suddenly, she felt something hard pressed against her abdomen.

Her expression changed involuntarily.

She eyed Nangong Yaoling speechlessly: "Can you... control yourself?"

Nangong Yaoling held her tightly: "Your charm is too strong, it’s not like I want to!" he said woefully.

Xia Xiaonuan wriggled out of his embrace, blushing as she walked inside.

"Then I’m ignoring you!" she said, turning to walk towards the hotel. When she’s near him, doing nothing, he claims she’s tempting him.

Can’t she leave then?

Nangong Yaoling immediately ran after her.

"Xiaonuan... I didn’t mean that..." he said with a wicked smile: "Even when you’re not around, sometimes the temptation is strong." He followed her into the private room in the hotel’s lounge, smiling as he spoke.

Because the hotel’s private rooms are connected to the beach, you can walk directly out the backdoor to a private beach area.

Xia Xiaonuan sat on the sofa, looking at him speechlessly: "When I’m not around, what kind of temptation is there?"

"When you’re not around... I think about you, and it’s still a feeling." Nangong Yaoling also sat down, leaning close to her ear to say.

His eyes burned as he looked at her, as if hinting at something.

Xia Xiaonuan blushed, stood up cautiously, and sat down across from him, pouring water and taking a sip.

Nangong Yaoling immediately walked over, one hand around her waist.

"Honey, I want to drink water too!" he whispered in her ear.

The warm breath of the man brushed her earlobe, Xia Xiaonuan resignedly poured him a glass of water, bringing it to his lips.

The man’s large hand gripped her hand.

He could have just taken the glass, but he insisted on holding her hand!

Xia Xiaonuan, helpless, let him drink the water in the cup, watching him drink while his large hand continued to feel hers.

He’s like a rascal!

"Want more?"

Nangong Yaoling gave her a glance, nodding.

Xia Xiaonuan went on to pour him water, as she was about to lift it, Nangong Yaoling suddenly grabbed her hand.

"What are you doing?" she wondered, casting him a sidelong glance.

"What I want to drink... isn’t this." His gaze burnt fiercely as he looked at her, speaking ambiguously.

Xia Xiaonuan tried to pull her hand back, but as she exerted force, the water in the cup splashed out instantly.

Because she was pulling her hand towards herself, the entire glass of water spilled onto her chest.

Fortunately, it was cold water, otherwise she would certainly have been scalded!

But she couldn’t help but let out a small cry.

Nangong Yaoling paused, quickly releasing her hand.
