Chapter 379 Will Not Be a Burden
"When do you plan to go back to continue your studies?" Li Jinxing picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then changed the subject and asked with concern.
"Maybe after a while. I want to find out who Nie Jinxi's mother is first..." Nie Yao paused and continued, "By the way, when are you going to Egypt?"
"Next week..." Li Jinxing answered nonchalantly, but Nie Yao's eyes widened. She put down her chopsticks and asked, "Next week? Is the decision so quick?"
Li Jinxing nodded and replied with a smile, "This matter was already in the plan. It has been delayed for too long and has become a headache. Before those people hiding behind the scenes make any big moves, we should first resolve the issue of the heirloom..."
"If I don't ask you, you won't tell me and go to Egypt alone?" Nie Yao frowned and looked at him, asking somewhat gloomily.
Li Jinxing laughed dumbly, shook his head, and explained softly, "Of course not. If I wanted to hide it from you, I wouldn't have told you before! It's just that on this trip to Egypt, I'm worried that something might happen along the way and there might be danger, so you should just stay home and wait for me to come back!"
"I won't be a burden to you!" Nie Yao raised her chin and said in a deep voice, "Have you forgotten that I found you in the Emperor Valley and saved your life?"
"Of course I won't forget..." Li Jinxing nodded slightly and sighed softly, "It's just that last time, they found you and stuffed the necklace with the key of life into your hands. I was really worried that you would become their target!"
"I'm not afraid—" Nie Yao shook her head and said righteously, "Even if you don't take me with you, won't I still be their target? Li Jinxing, I've also experienced several dangerous situations, and I'm more knowledgeable about ancient Egyptian culture than you are. I can help you and won't be a burden to you!"
Seeing Nie Yao's determination, Li Jinxing was silent for a moment, sighed helplessly, and said, "Well, maybe you're right. It's safer to take you with me than to leave you here alone. At least I can see you!"
"Do you agree to take me with you?" Nie Yao's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly.
Li Jinxing nodded slightly, smiled and nodded in response. Nie Yao cheered, immediately stood up and rushed to him, hugged him, and said with a happy smile: "Thank you--"
Because she was too excited, she kissed him on the cheek. Noticing that Li Jinxing's body was a little stiff, she realized that she seemed to have forgotten to wipe her mouth before kissing him. She quickly picked up a tissue to wipe his cheek, smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I was too happy at the moment..."
Li Jinxing shook his head in amusement and held her wrist.
Nie Yao was stunned. She lowered her head and looked at him sitting at the dining table. She hesitantly reminded him, "I know you have mysophobia. I'll help you clean it..."
Li Jinxing stretched out his hand and brought her directly into his arms. He lowered his head to look at her, and the hot breath sprayed on her ears.
"This time, you took the initiative..."
Nie Yao met his approaching face, her waist still pressed against the table. A blush quickly appeared on her face. She placed one hand on his chest and reminded him hesitantly, "Wait, you haven't finished your meal yet..."
"Are you full?" Li Jinxing lowered his head, brushed a hot kiss across his cheek, and asked with a low laugh.
Nie Yao nodded in confusion. Just as she was about to say something, Li Jinxing kissed her: "Then it's my turn..."
