Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Never Regret_1 Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Never Regret_1 “Mom, please don’t speak like that.”
This was the first heart-to-heart conversation Nan Fei and her mother had since Nan Fei’s rebirth. They chatted about everyday matters for quite a while. Due to Zhang Fengmei returning from the canteen with lunch, it was only then Nan Fei realized that she hadn’t seen Huo Beijiang since morning.
“Where is Huo Beijiang?” She asked, sitting in front of a small table covered in simple dishes and a bowl of bone soup.
Mention of Huo Beijiang cast a cloud over Zhang Fengmei’s mood. Even though he was innocent, in the end Yuan Xueshan was his mother. It was essentially because of him. Thinking of it angered her.
Mom is still angry, huh!
Not daring to ask further, she bowed her head and ate her meal. After lunch, when Zhang Fengmei left to wash the dishes, weariness overtook Nan Fei to the extent that she could barely keep her eyelids open, so she lay down on the bed to rest.
However, just as she had closed her eyes and was on the brink of drifting off, she felt a startling drop in air pressure in the room, leaving her struggling for breath. She sensed a burning gaze fixed intently on her.
Nan Fei opened her eyes, only to find Huo Beijiang’s handsome face close to her. Accompanied by his fleeting deep and restrained expression, with a complexity that was hard to grapple.
“Did I disturb you?” He said, a slight smile curving his lips, his earlier domineering demeanor vanished in an instant.
It all seemed like a figment of Nan Fei’s imagination.
“Where did you go this morning?” Nan Fei couldn’t resist asking.
At her question, Huo Beijiang’s mood seemed to lighten even further. His eyes sparkled as he laid it out: “Missed me after just half a day?”
She was just asking casually! Really! No lies.
Huo Beijiang got closer and said affectionately: “Come on, give me a kiss.”
“…Wh…Why?” Nan Fei was flabbergasted.
“Your mom will be back any second, I ask Chen Qi to stall her! That fool isn’t the best at doing things, we don’t have much time.”
Nan Fei barely restrained a chuckle; it was rare to see this fearless bully, who acted like he was the king of the world, afraid of her mother. Her sparkling eyes, full of laughter, fixed on Huo Beijiang, softly saying: “Then, get a little closer.”
“Huh?” Taken off guard by her response – a first from her – Huo Beijiang’s eyebrows arched in surprise. A flash of delight in his eyes, he lowered his head with a smirk, bringing his sexy lips close to Nan Fei’s.
With a surprising degree of self-control, he resisted the surging desire in his body. Those tantalizing lips of his bride within kissing distance, he simply kept staring at her.
Waiting for her to make the first move.
Nervously looking at Huo Beijiang, Nan Fei realized that he had a very attractive set of lips. There was a lazy upward curve when he smiled and a sense of remoteness when he didn’t, that kept others at bay. His lips were lighter than most men’s, somewhere between her own and Jiang Yang’s. Not red, but also not dark. They seemed…to be the perfect lips a man should have.
Nan Fei found herself spacing out at the sight.
A narrow smile flickered in Huo Beijiang’s eyes.He deliberately rubbed his stubbly chin against Nan Fei’s face and murmured in a husky voice, “You’re that fascinated by your man?”
Nan Fei’s cheeks turned as red as a ripe peach at once. She looked at Huo Beijiang, both embarrassed and annoyed.
When will he stop teasing her?
He does it intentionally, every single time!
“Hurry up!” Huo Beijiang urged, “I’m waiting!” Huo Beijiang’s expression said it all – if she dared to break her promise, there’d be consequences – which irritated Nan Fei.
She always meant what she said!
She never backed out.
“You, just stop talking.”
