Chapter 1087: Chapter 1076: Crisis
“Are you planning to make me give in using this method?”
Qiu Xiuxiu rolled her eyes at Ning Fan, but she didn’t push his hand away. Instead, she curled her body and nestled into Ning Fan’s embrace like a docile kitten resting by its owner’s side.
“If this way works to make you give in, I’d be more than happy.”
Ning Fan smiled and said, “But just now, someone seemed to enjoy it quite a bit. That voice, tsk tsk, it was just missing a song.”
“I didn’t! Stop talking nonsense!”
Qiu Xiuxiu blushed, reached out her hand, and pinched Ning Fan’s waist hard.
“Okay, okay, I’m the one talking nonsense, I remembered wrong, alright.”
Ning Fan rubbed Qiu Xiuxiu’s head and softly asked, “Since you’re not angry anymore, come back with me.”
“Go back…”
Upon hearing Ning Fan’s words, Qiu Xiuxiu’s expression froze, and she let out a gentle sigh.
“But how should I face Feifei?”
Without waiting for Ning Fan to respond, Qiu Xiuxiu reached out and wrapped her arms around Ning Fan’s waist, pressing her head against his broad chest. “I know Feifei has always liked you, but now that I’ve been with you like this, I really don’t know what to do.”
“Feifei liking me? Really? You’ve thought too much.”
Ning Fan said helplessly, “That’s just the way she is. You misunderstood.”
“Do you not know in your heart whether I misunderstood? I don’t believe that with Mr. Ning’s wisdom, you can’t see through such a basic issue.”
Qiu Xiuxiu lifted her head, rolling her eyes at Ning Fan.
“Uh…”
Ning Fan awkwardly rubbed his nose, unsure of how to continue.
He could see Ouyang Feifei’s feelings for him, yet he was unwilling to accept them.
In fact, if it hadn’t been for the accident with the Nine Souls Jade, he wouldn’t have done anything with Qiu Xiuxiu.
Even though Ning Fan knew that if he wanted to, the women around him wouldn’t refuse him.
Emotions have always been complex, deeply affecting the heart.
Ning Fan was unwilling to disappoint those who yearned for him.
“Let’s not talk about this. Let me enjoy some alone time, okay? Even if I know it’s selfish, I just can’t help it.”
Qiu Xiuxiu sighed softly and said tenderly, “Even if I know it’s wrong, I can’t help it. Maybe this is my fate.”
Ning Fan remained silent.
After a moment, Qiu Xiuxiu, who was nestled in his arms, suddenly twisted like a snake, tightly wrapping around Ning Fan and softly asking, “Mr. Ning, what are you thinking?”
“I…”
…
Until the light of dawn, the two separated and lay down on the bed.
Feeling the sweat on his body, Ning Fan bounced up like a carp and carried Qiu Xiuxiu into the bathroom.
“Are you trying to kill me?”
Qiu Xiuxiu glared at Ning Fan.
“No… no, I’m afraid of you. I’ll put on clothes.”
Startled, Qiu Xiuxiu quickly wrapped herself in a bath towel, grabbed her clothes, and rushed into the bathroom.
She knew clearly that if she changed clothes in front of Ning Fan, those clothes might never get onto her body…
Ning Fan lay on the bed, listening to the sounds of Qiu Xiuxiu dressing in the bathroom. He smiled silently, took a deep breath, and reined in his thoughts.
“You’re really not planning to go back to the company with me?”
In the room, Ning Fan stood by as Qiu Xiuxiu carefully smoothed the wrinkles on his shirt, looking at her with lowered brows and eyes and asked softly.
“I… haven’t decided yet.”
Qiu Xiuxiu straightened Ning Fan’s collar, bit her lip, and whispered, “If I go back, I’ll definitely meet Feifei, and I don’t know what to say to her.”
“Just say whatever you want, or say whatever comes to mind.”
Ning Fan shrugged, slightly helpless.
He really didn’t understand Qiu Xiuxiu’s thoughts. Since she no longer resented him, why stay outside alone, separating from the Shadow Team and distancing herself from him?
“Mr. Ning… please stop. Just let me be alone for a while. Maybe I’ll think of a suitable solution.”
Qiu Xiuxiu hugged Ning Fan’s back, moved her head to rest upon it, and softly said, “I’m not ready to be honest with Feifei, but I don’t want to deceive her either, so let me stay here for now.”
“Then I can come see you anytime, right?”
Ning Fan chuckled, teasingly.
“No need to come. I’m exhausted. It’s already morning, and I didn’t sleep at all last night.”
Qiu Xiuxiu released her grip, glared playfully at Ning Fan, walked to the door, tugged at his sleeve, and said, “Why are you still lingering here? Hurry up and go back.”
“Aren’t you going to see me off?”
Ning Fan stood at the door, eyes gleaming with a smile.
“As long as you don’t come looking for me, I’ll agree to whatever you say.”
Qiu Xiuxiu shook her head helplessly, closed the door behind her, and personally escorted Ning Fan to the door, saying, “Is this enough for you?”
“Seeing me to the door is fine? What about a goodbye kiss?”
Ning Fan chuckled, lifted a finger, and tipped Qiu Xiuxiu’s chin.
Qiu Xiuxiu pursed her lips, cautiously looking around.
Fortunately, it was still early, and there were hardly any people on the street.
Standing on her tiptoes, Qiu Xiuxiu gently left a kiss mark on Ning Fan’s cheek, then quickly moved back to the doorway, saying, “Now you can go, you rascal!”
Ning Fan touched his cheek, suddenly recalling Zhao Xue’er’s initiated kiss before going home, smiling slightly, and waving goodbye to Qiu Xiuxiu.
Watching until Ning Fan left the street, Qiu Xiuxiu finally turned to go upstairs. Little did she know, in the early morning light, a pair of blood-red eyes were watching her intently!
