Chapter 138 Desire!
When returning to the hotel in the city, An Ning was driving the car. Lu Xiyan was sitting in the passenger seat, dirty all over, with mud on his hands and face.
An Ning's body was also covered with a lot of dirt, but it was much cleaner than Lu Xiyan's.
After the long kiss, the two of them were surprisingly quiet in the car, with only the sound of each other's heartbeats being heard.
An Ning held the steering wheel and looked at the road ahead, feeling the eyes of the people beside her staring at her closely.
She turned her head slightly and met Lu Xiyan's burning gaze.
His gaze was not as cold as before, but rather gentle, with an indescribable emotion.
But there was a faint glimmer in his eyes, moist and looking like tears.
An Ning felt a little overwhelmed and distressed by his look.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Xiyan blinked his thick eyelashes twice and turned his head to look out the window.
A hoarse voice rang out in the car, "I thought you were in the accident."
It was a very calm sentence, but his fingertips trembled slightly, as if he was still frightened.
An Ning looked at his superior profile. The soil on it had dried up, and the whole person looked like a clay figure growing out of the mud.
She had never seen him like this before. In the past, he paid the most attention to cleanliness and even polished the uppers of his shoes until they were spotless.
"It rained heavily here all day yesterday. When I called you last night, the signal was cut off."
An Ning softly explained what happened last night, "For safety reasons, the head of the R&D department asked us to move quickly, and my phone accidentally fell during the move..."
After saying that, as if she was afraid that the other party would be angry, she turned her head and glanced at Lu Xiyan's expression.
He still turned his head to look out the window without any reaction.
She continued, "On the way to the hotel, we heard the sound of a landslide. It happened to be the mountain above the R&D room, so we escaped the disaster."
Lu Xiyan turned around and asked, "Why didn't you call me?"
"I thought about calling you after I got back to the hotel." An Ning quickly explained, "But there was no signal in the entire Qichuan City at that time. The signal was only restored just now..."
The vehicle stopped at the traffic light intersection.
An Ning met his still somewhat misty eyes and curled the corners of her lips slightly, "So, you came here specifically to see me?"
From her bright eyes, Lu Xiyan could see how miserable he was now.
He was supposed to appear at the engagement party today in a suit and tie, but now he appeared in the mountains covered in mud.
He looked away, "I'm here to volunteer."
There was a hint of awkwardness in his tone.
He was afraid that something might happen to her, that she would be killed.
Scared to death.
Death is more cruel than separation.
Even if they were separated, at least he could still see her and know that she was alive and well somewhere.
If she died, where would he go to find her in this world?
The feeling of loss took over all his sanity, and his only thought was to find her.
Must find her.
Suddenly, his hand felt warm, and a white hand held his muddy hand.
"Lu Xiyan, we've already kissed each other, isn't it too late to say this now?"
An Ning could see his awkwardness and smiled faintly, "You say one thing and mean another."
Lu Xiyan didn't say anything, but just lowered his eyes to look at the white and slender hand in his hand, slightly curled the corners of his mouth, and gently stroked her fingertips with his fingertips.
The green light came on, and An Ning was about to pull her hand back to drive, but his fingers were held tightly by him.
An Ning smiled gently, let him hold her hand, and steered the wheel with one hand.
She actually wanted to ask him how he handled his engagement party and whether his engagement with Cheng Wanwan was still valid.
But she thought about it and didn't ask.
......
Half an hour later, we arrived at the hotel.
Lu Xiyan raised his eyes and asked, "You live here?"
This hotel is not the best in Qichuan City, not even good.
That old guy Dong Chenghai didn't even arrange a better hotel for the business trip.
An Ning understood what he meant and unbuckled her seatbelt. "I'm here on a business trip, not a vacation. The company's budget is definitely limited."
Lu Xiyan got out of the car and said, "Let's change hotels."
"No need." An Ning said with a smile, "I'll be going back in a few days anyway."
She glanced up and down at the man in front of her, "You didn't bring any clothes, did you?"
Then she took out the room card and handed it to him, "I live in room 316. Go in and take a shower first. I'll go buy you some clothes."
He quickly grabbed An Ning and asked, "Where are you going?"
An Ning looked at his hands. His fingertips tightened, as if he felt insecure.
She raised her hand and gently wiped the dirt off his cheek, smiling softly, "I'm nearby and will be back soon."
Hearing this, Lu Xiyan finally relaxed his grip. He really needed a good bath now.
He nodded and went into the hotel.
......
As soon as I entered the hotel room and opened the door, a faint fragrance hit me in the small room.
It wasn't the smell of hotel detergent, it was the fragrance of her body.
It was the same reassuring aroma that had lingered in his bedroom that night.
Lu Xiyan walked into the room, took off his clothes with disgust, and threw them into the trash can without hesitation.
It takes a lot of effort to wash the body clean. At this moment, Lu Xiyan's mysophobia kicked in and he rubbed his whole body more than ten times, wishing he could peel off a layer of skin, before coming out of the bathroom.
There was only a set of women's bathrobes in the closet, so he simply wrapped himself in a bath towel.
Suddenly remembering something, he found his cell phone and opened it, suddenly frowning.
There were dozens of missed calls and text messages, most of which were from Cheng Wanwan, and some from the Lu family.
Lu Xiyan's brows were cold, and he simply turned off the phone.
I looked up at this palm-sized room. It was small, but tidy and warm.
There were no scattered clothes or shoes, and no random items lying around.
Her luggage was neatly packed away in the closet, and her bed was made with soft sheets, which she had apparently brought herself, as was her habit.
There is a fragrant incense on the cabinet beside the bed, and it smells nice.
Lu Xiyan suddenly thought of the time when he first met her six years ago. The house she rented was also a small place where one could not even stretch their legs, but she decorated it clean and warm.
No matter where or when, she always takes good care of herself.
That's why she was able to teach that three-year-old kid so well.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door and he got up to open it.
The moment the door opened, their eyes met, and her fair and peaceful face was reflected in his eyes.
An Ning was shocked when she realized what was happening. The man in front of her was shirtless, wearing only a bath towel. The well-defined lines of his muscles appeared clearly in front of her.
It looked like she had just taken a shower and hadn't dried yet, and her short black hair was still wet.
The water droplets dripped down along his exquisite three-dimensional outline, landed on his strong chest, slid along the lines over his perfect abdominal muscles, and finally disappeared in the white bath towel around his waist.
Good desire!
