Free Web NovelChapter 251: Chapter 251: Pretend Acts Ultimately Become Real _1
After getting dressed, Xia Ningning suddenly felt a surge of guilt in her heart.
She felt as if she was sneaking around with Ye Ming, although she knew that they hadn’t done anything, but she...
Thinking this way, Xia Ningning felt it was better not to talk about these things, to let them rot in her stomach forever, known only to the two of them.
At this time, Ye Ming had washed his face and rushed out of the hotel. The blast of cold air outside finally cleared his head a bit.
As a young man in the prime of life, the sensual image from before was branded in his mind, impossible to dispel no matter what he did.
It was at this moment that Ye Ming heard a ringtone from his phone.
He picked up the phone, a strange incoming number, but from it came a voice that he had been dreaming of.
"Ye Ming, have you been well lately?"
Ye Ming perked up and quickly asked, "Le Le, how could it be you?"
"Has your father’s control over you loosened?"
"Can I come and find you?"
Xu Lele answered with a touch of disappointment, "Ye Ming, I just missed you and wanted to call just to hear your voice! My father’s discipline is as strict as before, and moreover, he took away my phone. I’m calling you in secret."
"I... I miss you too!" Ye Ming said, emotion stirring within him.
Xu Lele chuckled lightly and asked, "So what are you doing right now? Are you cooperating well with Ningning, pretending to be her boyfriend?"
At this time, Xu Lele was driving a common sedan on the road.
This time, she finally found the opportunity to sneak out. In order to cut off her family’s surveillance, she drove the car of her family’s private chef, pretending to go out for shopping. In fact, she wanted to secretly see Ye Ming.
For this day, she had waited too long and was already impatient.
However, she wanted to give Ye Ming a surprise, so she pretended to casually inquire about his whereabouts.
Thinking of what had just happened, Ye Ming decided it was better not to tell Xu Lele, and explained, "I just held a press conference and found a hotel nearby to rest a bit!"
"Le Le, wait for me a few more days, and I will definitely take care of the Poison Sect matter, then come to get you!"
Xu Lele was deeply moved, the pain of yearning known only between them.
She spoke slowly, "You must be careful and not get hurt."
Ye Ming said, dismissive and buoyant, "Don’t worry about me, I will definitely marry you with pride! The small Poison Sect can’t hurt me!"
After chatting briefly, Xu Lele found out Ye Ming’s location and hastily hung up the phone, concentrating on driving towards the hotel where Ye Ming was.
Not long after the conversation ended, as Ye Ming was feeling melancholy, a pair of warm hands suddenly slipped over and hugged his arm.
Ye Ming was slightly startled and quickly turned around, seeing Xia Ningning’s figure.
Her inquisitive gaze made Xia Ningning blush and she asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
By then, Xia Ningning seemed to have transformed into another person. Under the effect of Spirit Spring Water, her complexion had become very good, standing by Ye Ming’s side with a radiant glow at the hotel entrance, instantly provoking envy from bystanders.
Ye Ming said, "Nothing, just that you... have become beautiful."
Xia Ningning’s face turned red, and she leaned closer to Ye Ming while saying, "I owe you a lot for this incident. If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t know what to do."
"To repay you, you can make a request of me."
Ye Ming shook his head and hurriedly said, "I don’t have any requests. After all, you were only involved because of me. Moreover, you helped me out of a tight spot, and I haven’t even had the chance to thank you yet!"
"My only request is, don’t tell Le Le about this matter, okay? I’m afraid she might misunderstand."
Seeing Ye Ming’s face turn slightly red with a hint of shyness, Xia Ningning became a bit bolder in her actions, almost clinging to Ye Ming’s body and whispering in his ear, "Feeling scared now? When you ordered me to take my clothes off earlier, why weren’t you considering Le Le’s feelings?"
"Eh... Miss Xia, it was because you were poisoned, and I did that out of desperation," Ye Ming explained.
Xia Ningning snorted, but she couldn’t hide the smile on her face.
Suddenly, Xia Ningning stood behind Ye Ming and wrapped her arms around him.
Such a bold move caught Ye Ming off-guard.
He tried to break free in a hurry, but Xia Ningning became even bolder, resting her head against Ye Ming’s back.
"Just go with it, someone’s watching us!" Xia Ningning said.
Ye Ming frowned slightly and immediately started paying attention to his surroundings.
Indeed, he sensed several gazes watching him from around.
In order to cooperate with Xia Ningning, Ye Ming reached out with both hands, holding Xia Ningning’s hands tightly, pulling her closer to him.
Their movements were very intimate yet appeared completely natural, showing no signs of pretense.
After a few cars passed by, and Ye Ming noticed the watching gazes starting to disappear, he finally let go of Xia Ningning, trying to break away in a hurry.
With just a simple action, Ye Ming’s face had already turned completely red, extremely embarrassed. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Seeing his awkward state, Xia Ningning felt very amused and asked with a smile, "What are you doing? You’re acting as if I took great advantage of you, it’s just a hug, isn’t it?"
"Looking at you, you couldn’t have never hugged a girl before, could you?"
Xia Ningning’s face was unabashed; she had already been seen through by Ye Ming, and she no longer had any reservations. In contrast, Ye Ming was apprehensive, looking as though their roles were reversed.
Ye Ming said embarrassingly, "Indeed, I haven’t."
"Ah?" Xia Ningning was quite surprised and asked, "Then you couldn’t possibly still be..."
Ye Ming quickly interrupted Xia Ningning, saying, "Miss Xia, please don’t speculate wildly anymore."
"We are all adults here; what’s there we can’t talk about?" Xia Ningning said with conviction.
Ye Ming scratched his head but didn’t deny it.
"I really haven’t touched a woman. I haven’t known Le Le for long, and we haven’t even held hands."
Xia Ningning raised her eyebrows and was about to say something when...
After only two words, Xia Ningning suddenly realized she had said something wrong and hurriedly stopped, looking somewhat guilty.
But Ye Ming was very calm and said, "I know what you want to say, but indeed, I haven’t. With her, at most we’ve just held hands."
Xia Ningning pursed her lips and quickly apologized, "Sorry, I misspoke."
Her candid apology made Ye Ming laugh and he said, "It’s okay, it’s all in the past now, and she doesn’t deserve to be on my mind anymore."
