Chapter 781
His lips were warm with a taste of wine. Xunuo went from kissing his lips to sucking on them despite her thumping heart. This was the first time she was this bold toward a man. She slightly opened her eyes and saw his pitch-black eyes up-close. Although his eyelashes slightly trembled, they did not move much. His pitch-black eyes were exceptionally deep.
She slightly backed away before she kissed his lips again and smiled beautifully. “Ningyuan, you’re such a terrible person! Didn’t you want to celebrate my birthday with me? To think that I’ve gone the mile to dress up for you today. What a killjoy.”
Her voice, as sweet as melted chocolate, twirled around somebody’s heart as though it was about to melt it. Her face was a gentle red, and she looked charming and petulant as though she were some female friend, pouting petulantly and sweetly whilst gently nestling in his embrace.
Ye Ningyuan ran his slender fingers across her red face and felt his heart stir. “Dear, let’s go somewhere else, shall we?”
He forcefully wrapped his arm around Xunuo’s waist and suddenly pulled her in. Xunuo’s body knocked into his rib cage, and she was gritting her teeth from the pain despite smiling alluringly. She held Ye Ningyuan’s hand passionately as they stepped out of the discotheque.
The two of them held hands until they reached Ye Ningyuan’s silver sports car. Once the people in the discotheque were no longer on their guard, Xunuo suddenly felt a huge force against her as she was pinned between the cold car hood and Ye Ningyuan. Her long black hair was splayed on the car and she looked exceptionally cold. He held her hand so tightly to the point he almost crushed her bones. Ye Ningyuan was no longer smiling, and his gaze even seemed malicious. His chest heaved as a murderous intent flashed through his immeasurably deep eyes.
He was angry and was thinking of killing her.
An Xunuo secretly wondered to herself how she had offended him. Didn’t she simply kiss him? That was her first kiss, and she had shortchanged herself! What was there for him to be angry about to the point he wanted to kill her? That did not make sense!
“You will not, without my approval, touch me anymore!” Ye Ningyuan stood up and shrugged her hand away. He tidied his unkempt clothes and became gentle and elegant-looking. It was as though the murderous intent that fleeted through him earlier was an illusion.
The nominal young master of the Dragon Gate who loved drawing and photography had such an intense desire to kill? Was it inheritance or upbringing? It was indeed unbelievable.
Xunuo gently smiled and coldly said, “Younger Master Ye, I absolutely would not want to touch you unless the situation was that dire.”
Ye Ningyuan got into the car and looked at her. “Get in!”
Without turning back, Xunuo knew that there were people looking at them. What they just saw was Ye Ningyuan pinning her down in what seemed to be something steamy. From their backs, they could not tell that anything was amiss, and she would not be silly enough to throw a tantrum with him at this moment. Xunuo opened the other door and got into the car.
Crowds thronged the streets of London that were made even more beautiful with neon lights illuminating them.
“Miss An, how would you thank me for my help?”
“What do you say?” Xunuo leaned into her chair.
Without saying another word, Ye Ningyuan drove out of the bustling city. She was deep in her thoughts and only snapped out of them once the car hit the highway. Xunuo turned around and asked tersely, “Where are you bringing me?”
“To thank me!” Ye Ningyuan turned around and smiled elegantly. His smile seemed to always be as such, real and perfect. Xunuo did not like such smiles, so she turned her head away in pique, quietly looking at the tall buildings in the distance instead.
Ye Ningyuan smiled. She seemed so much better and pleasing to the eye when she was angry as compared to when she appeared unapproachable.
“Ye Ningyuan, are you really just some rich man’s son with nothing to do?” Xunuo, in her boredom, tried to start a conversation with him. He did not seem like the bored rich man’s son he was. He seemed more like somebody from the underworld.
“Ah, it’s so rare that Miss An would take the initiative to start a conversation.” Ye Ningyuan smiled. Xunuo was slightly taken aback. He was right! Why did she try to start a conversation with him, the stranger she most disliked? He looked at her and smiled. “I won several international drawing competitions and also a few international photography competitions. Do I look like I have nothing to do? I am pursuing art.”
He was so easy-going to the point she was slightly stirred and did not look at his face. “Why do you look more like a killer to me?”
“Haven’t you heard that my family has one too many killers? It’s little wonder that you’ve such thoughts thanks to the kind of nonsense you heard.” Ye Ningyuan gently smiled. “What about Miss An? What are you up to by stealing Charles’ bioweapon chip?”
Xunuo was shocked. “How do you know?”
Since nobody else knew about her stealing biological weapons, how did he know?
Ye Ningyuan waved his hands, and a small chip appeared in his palm. An Xunuo’s eyes went wide and she felt her chest. The chip was indeed missing! She reached out to get it, but Ye Ningyuan single-handedly fended off her attacks. A moment later, she managed to grab Ye Ningyuan’s arms. “Return the chip to me!”
Considering she was a capable fighter, Ye Ningyuan knew that he was unable to overcome her because he had to drive with his other hand. “Why are you panicking? I’ll automatically return the chip to you when you leave later.” He sounded calm.
“You’d better not lie!” An Xunuo let go of his hand, and Ye Ningyuan shrugged away his slightly aching hand. Xunuo then said, “If you lie to me, I’ll waste Xu Xing.”
“How violent of you!” Ye Ningyuan smiled, not worried at all. Xunuo was awestruck. When did he take away the chip, and how did she not notice it?
To An Xunuo, this was an utter shame as she had never made such a grave mistake.
“When did you take it away?”
“When you were kissing me,” Ye Ningyuan gently smiled. Xunuo felt her face turn red as Ye Ningyuan gently laughed and said, “Miss An got a little too caught up with her kissing to the point she did not feel that something was stolen from her.”
Xunuo’s ears turned red. That damn Ye Ningyuan still dared to patronize her! Ye Ningyuan smiled teasingly before looking at her chest. “That said, Miss An sure has a special place for hiding things.”
