"Honey, what are you doing?"
Li Xiao’s coquettish voice came through the phone.
"I’m such a heartless guy." Li Xiao said sadly, "It’s been a week, hasn’t it? You haven’t even called me once. It’s always me who has to reach out to you."
A sense of guilt welled up in Chen Nan’s heart.
If he could do it all over again, he would have surely resisted the impulse at that moment.
Now that the two of them had become husband and wife, and he didn’t want to excessively betray his junior sister, he had committed such heartless acts, never taking the initiative to contact Li Xiao.
Chen Nan smacked his forehead, silently scolding himself.
Regrettably, everything had already become a reality, and although his martial arts skills were unmatched, he couldn’t change anything.
Lust was a nature he was born with. Even though his feelings for his junior sister were real, whenever he saw other beautiful women, there was always a wicked impulse in his heart. If there were a next life, he would definitely make a deal with King Yama to be reborn as a steadfast man who wouldn’t glance at another woman even if she was beautiful.
Being a lustful and romantic man was truly exhausting!
After a moment of silence, Chen Nan said, "Where are you now? Why don’t we meet up?"
"Is it just to sleep over for one night again?" Li Xiao’s tone was a bit despondent, "Actually, you should know very well what I really want."
What Li Xiao wanted was his true affection.
This, Chen Nan was indeed very clear about, but he really couldn’t give it.
Listening to Chen Nan’s prolonged silence, Li Xiao smiled and said, "I know your difficulties, I won’t press you. Didn’t we agree before? Once you find your junior sister, we would break up. I won’t cling to you, I won’t make things difficult for you, but can you, for now, not be so cold towards me?"
Chen Nan really wanted to tell her that he had already found his junior sister.
But he knew that once he said that, Li Xiao would be deeply hurt. For this woman, who loved him wholeheartedly, the first woman in his life, Chen Nan really couldn’t bear to hurt her.
A man always holds a special feeling towards his first woman.
This feeling may not be love or kinship, but it is a unique bond that can never be forgotten in a lifetime.
"I don’t intend to be cold towards you; I just..." Chen Nan hesitated for a moment and said, "I just fear that you are sinking too deeply and might hurt later...sigh!"
"I’ve said it, I’m willing to be hurt by you."
"But I’m not willing."
"But you have already hurt me, and it’s too late to be unwilling now," Li Xiao said, "In the future, don’t always leave me in the corner. I would rather be hurt by you than endure the loneliness and emptiness that comes with nobody caring."
"I only become silly when I’m with you," Li Xiao smiled, then shifted her tone, "Alright, I’m at your doorstep, come on out."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Nan put on his coat and headed outside.
Since the four beauties at home were already asleep, Chen Nan didn’t wake them and quietly shut the door behind him.
On the curb, that old Jetta stood parked, exactly Chen Nan’s ride, which Li Xiao had driven back last time.
"You’re not driving your sports car, why are you driving this thing instead?"
Chen Nan pulled open the passenger door and got inside.
Li Xiao turned to look at him, her eyes filled with intense love.
Chen Nan stretched out his hand, thinking of embracing her, but then reconsidered.
Li Xiao said, "Because I miss you a lot. Just sitting in this car makes it feel like I’m with you."
Chen Nan touched his nose, changing the subject, "For a beauty like you to drive such an old car, aren’t you afraid of losing face?"
"Even if it’s old, it’s still my man’s car, what does it have to do with anyone else?" Li Xiao shot him a look, "Does that mean, according to you, that a beautiful woman should live in a mansion, drive a luxury car, and wear designer clothes?"
"No, no, no, you are right to scold me; it’s just my dark thoughts," Chen Nan said, laughing.
Chen Nan pointed ahead, "Alright, where to now?"
"How about the arcade?"
Seeing Li Xiao’s expectant face, Chen Nan laughed, "You are over twenty, and still want to play there?"
Li Xiao pouted her lips and her eyes bulged, "Stop nagging, are you coming with me or not?"
