Chapter 41 Out of Control: The Little Flame of Love Burns Between You and Me
Gu Mingxia's words chilled Xiao Yan to the bone.
He suddenly felt like an idiot, giving his all to Gu Mingxia, but his precious feelings were worthless in her eyes. Xiao Yan looked at the serious Gu Mingxia, then smiled and patted her face.
He wanted to stop loving this woman, but from the first time he fell in love until now, she was the only woman he had ever loved. If he didn't love her, who else could he love?
Who else in this world could he love unconditionally and wholeheartedly? Xiao Yan knew this was a question without an answer, so no matter how Gu Mingxia treated him, he could only love her!
This is a habit, a terrible habit. Xiao Yan has become accustomed to having only her in his heart. So, whether Gu Mingxia believes it or not, he will continue to love and pamper her as always.
"Fine, go ahead and file for divorce. It has nothing to do with whether I love you or not!"
Xiao Yan drove the car towards the villa. Gu Mingxia sighed and rubbed her forehead. She had refused, she really had refused, it was not a case of playing hard to get! Now, wanting to win the divorce case was truly her most genuine thought.
But is Xiao Yan's affection truly from the bottom of his heart? Is this doubt just another form of revenge he's taking from her? Gu Mingxia closed her eyes, suddenly feeling so tired. If she could, she really wanted to sleep forever and never have to deal with all this commotion again!
Gu Mingxia didn't say anything more, just sat there quietly. Several times Xiao Yan wanted to ask her if she needed his help with the lawsuit, but in the end he didn't ask and just drove quietly.
Soon, the car drove into the villa's underground garage. When Xiao Yan unbuckled his seatbelt to wake Gu Mingxia, he found that she had already fallen asleep with her brows furrowed.
Her beautiful sleeping face was tinged with sorrow. Xiao Yan was at a loss for what to do. He wanted to reach out and smooth the sadness between her brows, but he raised his hand without the courage to do so.
She had already rejected him once, and Xiao Yan was afraid—afraid to hear her tell him again in that cold, heartless tone, "I don't believe in your feelings!" He felt as if her words had plunged his heart into an ice cellar, so cold he couldn't breathe!
Saying "I love you" is my business and has nothing to do with you, but how many people can truly do that? Xiao Yan can refrain from forcing her to accept him, but he can't control the pain in his heart.
In the end, Xiao Yan only made a gesture of stroking her face in the air before withdrawing his hand. Seeing that she was sleeping so soundly, Xiao Yan couldn't bear to wake her. After thinking for a moment, he took off his suit jacket and gently covered her with it.
In this world, the only person Xiao Yan cares about like this is Xia Xia! Xia Xia, can you understand my heart? Because he was afraid that mosquitoes would come in, Xiao Yan rolled up the window and restarted the car, just to keep the air conditioning running.
He leaned back in his chair, staring intently at Gu Mingxia, as if trying to relive the seven years he had lost. Gu Mingxia was comfortably asleep, leaning back in her chair, a faint smile playing on her lips, her thoughts unreadable.
Seeing her smile, Xiao Yan, whose face was cold, also curled his lips. In that instant, a sentence suddenly flooded into Xiao Yan's mind: "Peaceful times, tranquil world!"
Achoo...
Reality can never tolerate things that are too beautiful. Just as Xiao Yan was thinking about such a beautiful idiom, a loud sneeze broke the poetic scene. Gu Mingxia frowned and reluctantly opened her eyes.
"I fell asleep? Did I sleep for a long time?"
Watching Xiao Yan frantically grab a tissue, and then looking at herself covered with his suit jacket, Gu Mingxia frowned slightly. How did she fall asleep?
"You had just fallen asleep, and I saw you were sleeping soundly so I didn't wake you up, but I didn't expect to still wake you up!"
Xiao Yan wiped his nose and looked at Gu Mingxia with some guilt. But Gu Mingxia just glanced at him and then handed him her suit jacket.
"I think you need to wear this outfit more than I do!"
Gu Mingxia's words instantly made Xiao Yan's face turn extremely sour. Was she questioning his physical condition? What could be more humiliating than a woman questioning a man's physical abilities?
Did she know about this situation, or was she doing it on purpose? Xiao Yan grabbed the suit jacket and threw it on the back seat, then leaned over and pressed Gu Mingxia's body down beneath him.
"Xiaxia, are you questioning my physical abilities?"
"Huh? What?"
Gu Mingxia was still half asleep and couldn't understand why Xiao Yan, who had been perfectly fine just moments before, had suddenly turned into such an ice block. Was he trying to freeze people to death?
"Xiaxia, don't you know that it's very unwise to question a man's physical abilities?"
Xiao Yan pressed down on Gu Mingxia. The cramped space inside the car made it impossible for her to resist. She could only try to lean back as much as possible, but every time she leaned back, Xiao Yan would lean forward a little. Finally, Gu Mingxia got angry and simply stopped leaning back. Instead, she straightened her chest and looked up at Xiao Yan, who was so close to her.
"Xiao Yan, can you please not be so unreasonable? I only returned your clothes because I saw you sneezing and was worried you'd catch a cold. When did I question your physical condition?"
Is this man possessed tonight? Why is he doing strange things and saying strange things? Gu Mingxia was a little displeased, so her gaze towards Xiao Yan was filled with dissatisfaction. He was simply unreasonable!
Because of her anger, Gu Mingxia's chest heaved, and her breath sprayed all over Xiao Yan's face. Xiao Yan clearly felt the change in his body, a heat coursing through his body. He reached out and brushed the strands of hair that had fallen out of Gu Mingxia's head while she was sleeping behind her ear, kissed her forehead affectionately, and then reluctantly left, looking at her with deep affection in his eyes.
"Xiaxia, do you know how beautiful and attractive you are right now?"
Xiao Yan's voice was deep and husky, yet possessed a captivating sexiness. Gu Mingxia narrowed her eyes, looking at him with a dreamy gaze. She couldn't fathom what this man was trying to do. Did he treat flirting with her as a form of entertainment?
Is he really that bored? Gu Mingxia frowned, she wanted to see what this scoundrel was capable of!
"have no idea!"
His cold tone remained completely unwavering, yet this did not diminish Xiao Yan's gentleness. His slender fingers gently traced the lines on Gu Mingxia's face, as if the most precious blue-and-white porcelain in the world were beneath his touch. He caressed her face inch by inch, and when his fingers rested on Gu Mingxia's rosy and sensual lips, Xiao Yan smiled wickedly, his eyes alluring as he gazed at her.
"Xiaxia, your lips are beautiful and sexy! And the taste is intoxicating!"
His fingers slowly rubbed against her lips, the slightly rough pads of his fingers sending shivers down her spine. Gu Mingxia hated this feeling; it was a feeling from her memories, but it had disappeared seven years ago. She didn't want to be controlled by this feeling again!
Just as Xiao Yan was still reveling in the feeling of touching Gu Mingxia's lips, Gu Mingxia suddenly reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, revealing a charming smile that, in Xiao Yan's eyes, was truly captivating!
Before Xiao Yan could react, Gu Mingxia had already stepped forward and offered her sexy red lips. As her lips touched Xiao Yan's, Gu Mingxia whispered seductively.
"Little Swallow, would you like to indulge in this pleasure one more time?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Xiao Yan's domineering lips pressed against hers. The moment their lips met, it was as if a thunderbolt had struck a raging fire, and they were completely out of control.
Gu Mingxia's arms were tightly wrapped around Xiao Yan's neck, while Xiao Yan twisted his body and pressed his entire body against hers, the two of them pressed tightly together without any gap.
Their lips and teeth were locked in a fierce struggle, biting and tearing at each other. Xiao Yan's domineering tongue was entangled with Gu Mingxia's fragrant tongue, desperately sucking the sweetness from her mouth. It was rare for his beloved to take the initiative, so Xiao Yan certainly wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
His large hand slipped inside her shirt, caressing her smooth back, igniting hissing sparks wherever it touched. Gu Mingxia drew circles on his chest through his shirt, actively returning Xiao Yan's kisses.
Their kiss was like a small boat adrift on turbulent waters, crossing countless mountains before finally arriving at a safe harbor. Xiao Yan's kiss softened from domineering to tender, ending as gently as if he were kissing a fragile doll.
Gu Mingxia curled her lips into a cold smile. Just as Xiao Yan's large hand reached for her chest, she suddenly turned her head away from his gentle and considerate kiss, and placed her hands on his chest to create distance between them.
There was no trace of tenderness or affection left in her large, watery eyes; only deep sarcasm remained.
"Xiao Yan, is this fun?"
"Xiaxia, what are you saying?"
Xiao Yan suppressed the throbbing in his body and looked at his beloved, whose eyes were as sharp as knives, with some confusion.
"You approached me, helped me, hired me, flirted with me, and confessed your love to me, wasn't it all just to sleep with me? Don't think you're the only one who can flirt with me, forcefully kiss me, and give me false impressions, I can do it too!"
Gu Mingxia pushed Xiao Yan off her and strode out of the car. Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with intense pain. He never expected that his deep affection would be so unbearable in her eyes!
Upon hearing Gu Mingxia's footsteps, Xiao Yan quickly got out of the car, walked a few steps to her, grabbed her wrist, and looked at her earnestly.
"Xiaxia, I'm serious about you! It's not like what you said, that I'm only after your body!"
"Oh? Then what's causing your reaction?"
Gu Mingxia stared at the tent in Xiao Yan's body and asked him a cold question. Looking down at her body's most instinctive reaction, Xiao Yan suddenly leaned forward and revealed a big smile.
"My love, Xiaxia, you have to understand, my feelings for you are genuine! My reaction is entirely because I love you! It would be a tragedy if I didn't react!"
"Nonsense!"
"Xiaxia, do you know why? It's because the little flame of love is burning between you and me!"
