"Alright, I trust you..." Ji Xiaonuan nodded, and drowsiness swept over her again.
Although she still had some doubts, she didn't continue to ask.
There was full of pity in Chi Jun'an's eyes. He gently put his arm around her and let her rest her head on his lap. "Take a nap first. I'll wake you up when we arrive."
"Okay." Ji Xiaonuan obediently closed her eyes. The car drove steadily, and she soon fell asleep.
Looking at her sweet sleeping face, Chi Jun'an couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Silly girl, do you trust me so much?"
The car stopped, but Ji Xiaonuan was still sound asleep. Listening to her steady breathing, Chi Jun'an couldn't bear to wake her up.
The next moment, he picked Ji Xiaonuan up in his arms.
Ji Xiaonuan had a dream.
She dreamt of Chi Jun'an again. This time, Chi Jun'an didn't let her go and directly "ate" her!
She had this kind of dream last night too, but it had never been as real as this moment. She just felt that her whole body was burning with heat!
Ji Xiaonuan woke up with a start.
She suddenly realized that the heat she felt wasn't a dream.
There was a mist swirling in front of her eyes, and a faint smell of sulfur lingered at the tip of her nose, but it wasn't unpleasant.
She was now soaking in a hot spring.
No wonder she felt warm, but it made her feel extremely comfortable, and the previous fatigue was also swept away.
Ji Xiaonuan felt a bit embarrassed.
So when Chi Jun'an said to take off all the clothes, he meant soaking in the hot spring?
"Awake?"
His voice rang in Ji Xiaonuan's ear. She quickly turned her head and met his deep eyes.
Chi Jun'an was actually right beside her, soaking in the hot spring with her?
Ji Xiaonuan looked down at herself. "Did you... take off my clothes for me?"
"Then who else do you want to take them off for you?" He chuckled.
Ji Xiaonuan felt like crying.
Well, in the past, when Chi Jun'an teased her like this, she would have been shy and angry long ago. But now, she didn't know if it was because they were just one step away from "that", but even when faced with his ambiguous words, Ji Xiaonuan couldn't get angry at all.
Her skin had really become much thicker... Ji Xiaonuan felt a bit resentful for no reason. She had been led astray by him.
Looking at her little face constantly changing expressions, although he didn't know what she was thinking, Chi Jun'an was sure that it must be related to him.
"Have some water." He handed her a water glass. Ji Xiaonuan held the cup and took small sips.
Suddenly, a mobile phone ringtone sounded.
It was Ji Xiaonuan's phone ringing.
She looked over. Her and Chi Jun'an's phones were placed in a sealed bag and were just beside Chi Jun'an's hand.
"The phone! The phone!" Ji Xiaonuan said.
Chi Jun'an picked up her phone, but when he saw the number on it, his brows furrowed slightly.
"I'll answer it for you." He said in a deep voice.
Ji Xiaonuan became anxious, but before she could speak, she heard him continue, "This is Yang Wanrong's number."
"...Okay." Ji Xiaonuan immediately changed her words. Yang Wanrong actually called her? There must be no good news.
Chi Jun'an pressed the answer button and casually placed a plate of fresh fruits beside Ji Xiaonuan's hand.
Ji Xiaonuan looked at the tender strawberries, picked one up and put it in her mouth. However, her attention was on Chi Jun'an.
Although it was strange that Yang Wanrong called her, Chi Jun'an took the initiative to answer the phone. She was a bit curious about what Chi Jun'an would say to her.
"What's the matter?" Chi Jun'an asked in a deep voice.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Yang Wanrong never expected that it was Chi Jun'an who answered the phone.
When she called Chi Jun'an, he never answered. Now that she called Ji Xiaonuan, he actually answered?
Was Chi Jun'an deliberately trying to anger her? Yang Wanrong clenched her fingers in resentment! She took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart.
"Brother Muchen," Yang Wanrong sobbed softly. "My dad told me everything yesterday. I've liked you for so many years. Why do you misunderstand me like this?"
Chi Jun'an raised his eyebrows slightly. "I don't think there's any misunderstanding."
Ji Xiaonuan vaguely heard the sound of crying and felt a bit uncomfortable.
She knew that Yang Wanrong was resorting to the old tricks of crying, making a scene, and threatening, but since Yang Wanrong would do this, it naturally meant that their relationship in the past was very close. After all, Chi Jun'an and her were almost childhood sweethearts.
A touch of jealousy welled up in her heart. Ji Xiaonuan suddenly remembered that Chi Jun'an had deliberately teased her when she was on the phone before!
Her eyes lit up suddenly. If she didn't take revenge now, when would she?
Ji Xiaonuan suddenly moved closer to Chi Jun'an. She playfully stretched out her finger and gently drew circles on Chi Jun'an's chest.
Chi Jun'an looked at Ji Xiaonuan with a bit of helplessness. "Stop making trouble."
Yang Wanrong, who was crying, was stunned in surprise. Just now, Chi Jun'an had actually told her not to make trouble in such a doting tone?
Her heart was suddenly filled with joy. She knew that Chi Jun'an couldn't have no feelings for her at all! "Brother Muchen, I'm not making trouble," Yang Wanrong's voice carried a hint of coquettishness. "Do you remember? We used to..."
"Forgot." Chi Jun'an interrupted her coldly, his voice full of impatience.
The words that Yang Wanrong was about to say next were forcefully held back.
She was completely confused. What was wrong with Chi Jun'an? One moment he was so gentle, and the next moment he was so cold to her. Why did his attitude change so drastically?
Seeing that Chi Jun'an didn't seem to be affected at all and could even talk to Yang Wanrong on the phone so calmly, Ji Xiaonuan suddenly felt that what she had done wasn't enough.
There was a mischievous smile on her lips, and her two small hands suddenly moved downward.
As if struck by a weak electric current, he let out a stifled groan of discomfort. Chi Jun'an's eyes darkened, and he suddenly reached out his hand and also attacked Ji Xiaonuan's body!
"Ah!" Caught off guard, Ji Xiaonuan couldn't help but let out a scream!
"Who is it?" Yang Wanrong was instantly stunned. There was actually someone beside Chi Jun'an? And it was a woman?!
She couldn't help but ask sharply, "Who's beside you?!"
"You surely haven't forgotten whose phone you called, right?" Chi Jun'an's voice was even more impatient. "Hurry up and say, what on earth do you want?"
Seeing that Ji Xiaonuan wanted to escape, Chi Jun'an raised the corners of his lips wickedly. He continued to chase after Ji Xiaonuan and tickled her.
Ji Xiaonuan laughed and dodged. "Don't, don't do this..."
Hearing the voices coming from the other end of the phone, Yang Wanrong was almost driven crazy with anger!
How could she forget that since Chi Jun'an answered Ji Xiaonuan's phone, they must be together!
So, it turned out that she had been being sentimental before?
Chi Jun'an's words "stop making trouble" weren't for her, but for Ji Xiaonuan!
"What are you doing?!" Hearing the laughter from the other end, Yang Wanrong almost roared in a breakdown.
Can't you tell?" Chi Jun'an said coldly. "We're of course doing... what we love to do."
From the other end of the phone came Yang Wanrong's frenzied screams, and then there was a "bang!" sound, and the phone call was hung up. Chi Jun'an could naturally guess that Yang Wanrong must have angrily thrown her phone.
However, he didn't care about these things. There was only one thing he cared about now.
