Chapter 357: An Unsustainable Kiss

own her work in the kitchen and came to sit beside Qiao Zixuan. 。"Xuan Xuan, you seem down today. Is something bothering you" 。"Auntie, I miss Daddy." 。Joe Hsu wasn't keeping anything hidden, and he w...Xue Yao tried to sit up, but Chu Yang pressed her down several times.

"I said I wanted to keep my distance, how are you still like this Chu Yang, you're a weird person, you know We don't seem to have anything to do with each other anymore, what are you doing"

Xue Yao, in a fit of anger, disregarded Chu Yang's opposition and struggled to her feet, then accused him. Such Chu Yang made her heart confused, troubled, and pained.

"Forget it, I don't want the pendant anymore. Something that people would scorn, even if I get it back, its value is lost."

Xue Yao faced Chu Yang's silence, her heart shattering into pieces. She couldn't understand his behavior at this moment. He wouldn't explain or clarify anything, so she couldn't just guess blindly. After all, she had been deceived once before.

Chu Yang still refused to speak, and Xue Yao was speechless. She directly pushed the car door open and got out. This man, she had started to dislike him, and she would never like him again in the future.

Xue Yao wanted to return to the bar and play with her friends, but as soon as she got out of the car and took a few steps, she was pulled back by Chu Yang. She stumbled and nearly fell, so Chu Yang caught her. Before she could react, Chu Yang unexpectedly sealed her lips with a kiss.

Xueyao was stunned, she had no idea what was going on and didn't know how to refuse. Her brain felt like it was deprived of oxygen, her whole mind was a muddle.

Chu Yang never expected that the usually calm and composed him would do something so impulsive. Watching Xue Yao leave, he was anxious and didn't know how to keep her. As he reached out to pull her back, his lips involuntarily kissed hers.

After the kiss, he realized that Xue Yao's lips were so sweet, and kissing Xue Yao was like experiencing a moment of astonishment.

Chu Yang's heart raced, his blood surged, every cell in his body vibrated with a heightened rhythm. He couldn't believe the physical reactions his body was producing. This feeling... it was love, wasn't it The feeling of being in love. Could it be that he...

Xue Yao was kissed and turned back, limp. At the moment when she was severely lacking oxygen and almost suffocating, Xue Yao's rationality suddenly returned. They had no relationship at all, how could they just kiss casually.

Xue Yao suddenly pushed Chu Yang away, the anger in her heart turning into tears swirling in her eye sockets. She was free again, breathing fresh air once more, but her first reaction was to raise her hand and slap Chu Yang across the face.

“Aren't you going too far We broke up, do you know what you did When we were together, you even avoided holding hands. Now you regret it, don't you Regret not hugging me, not kissing me, not sleeping with me before the breakup”

Xue Yao was also a stubborn person, and an outwardly strong one. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back with sheer willpower.

"Xue Yao, I didn't mean it, I was just carried away in the moment..."

Chu Yang realized his actions were too impulsive and quickly opened up to explain. As for that slap, he willingly accepted it because he had done too many wrong things to Xue Yao.

Xue Yao didn't give him a chance to explain.

"Are you saying it was impulsive You're really funny. Can something like this be impulsive If I just pulled a random man off the street and slept with him, would you understand that as being impulsive"

Chu Yang, don't avoid the topic. You think I'm stupid, you started using me from the beginning, so you don't respect me at all. I'll stay away from you if you don't respect me. Please don't appear in front of me in the future.

Xue Yao finished speaking, angrily turning and walking away, but Chu Yang still stopped her.

Xue Yao had already drunk too much, and on top of that, she was angry. Chu Yang didn't feel comfortable letting Xue Yao go drink with those friends again.

"What just happened was my fault. You can come find me tomorrow to settle the score, hit me, scold me, whatever. Right now you need to go home."

Chu Yang's attitude was unprecedentedly persistent, and his face was unusually serious.

"Chu Yang, stop messing around. What right do you have to order me home I am free and unfettered, not anyone's accessory. Why should I listen to you"

Xue Yao said sarcastically, in her view, Chu Yang's actions at this moment were a kind of mockery to her. She didn't like him using her, so why did he kiss her, why did he interfere with her private life.

"No reason, just go home first. We can talk tomorrow."

Chu Yang's entire face darkened. He knew he had no right to interfere with Xue Yao's affairs, but at this moment, he couldn't bear to let her go back to drinking. He couldn't stand to see her so heartbroken, punishing herself like this.

"Tomorrow I just said, I never want to see you again. How could there be a tomorrow between us. There's nothing left for us to say. Please let go of my hand and leave."

Xue Yao, when she was determined, was no less stubborn than Qin Jingwen. But the catalyst for this stubbornness was love or hate. The so-called love was as deep as the hate was sharp, which is exactly the situation now.

"It seems you don't know how determined I am when I set my mind to something. You won't listen, will you Well then, there's no other way but for me to force it."

As Chu Yang’s voice fell, Xue Yao hadn’t reacted yet, her whole person already leaving the ground and safely landing in Chu Yang’s arms.

"Chu Yang you..."

"I said to beat and scold tomorrow, you must go home now."

Chu Yang decisively cut off Xue Yao's words. He knew what she wanted to say, he knew what she was thinking, but at this moment, he just wanted her to go home safely.

"I'm not going home."

Let's go to the hotel.

"Are you crazy"

"Yes."

Two people went back and forth, each word a parry and thrust. Neither showed any sign of backing down, but at this moment, Xue Yao seemed to be the weaker party, with no ability to resist at all.

Because Chu Yang had already put her in the passenger seat and locked the car doors, he got in from the other side.

"Crazy, you must be crazy! I tell you Chu Yang, even if you take me home, I'll run out. I don't believe you can keep watching over me."

Xue Yao was provoking, protesting, but she didn't expect Chu Yang's endurance to be anything to scoff at.

Chu Yang understood Xue Yao's temper, she was also a person who did what she said. To avoid her running out, Chu Yang didn't send Xue Yao home but went to his own house instead.

Fortunately, Xue Yao fell asleep in the car after a while of fussing. Chu Yang successfully brought her home and sent her to the same bedroom as before.

City A.

Qin Jingwen went to sleep, while Qiao Shunchen kept himself busy playing with the two energetic children. During this process, his mood gradually improved.

"If Aunt Dani wasn't about to give birth, Daddy would really want to take you guys skiing in the north."

Joe thought of a brilliant idea. He actually just wanted more opportunities to take Qin Jingwen and the kids out to play together.

"We have indoor skiing here too, we could go."

Half-moon was playing and answering Daddy at the same time.

"Different, artificial snow and natural snow are two different feels. When it snows in winter, Daddy will definitely take Mommy and you to experience it."

Jiao Shunchen has loved snow since he was a child and has gone to the north countless times to experience it. He thinks snow is romantic and beautiful, and it's even better to experience it with someone you love.

“Well, that means our family of four can be together again.”

Half Moon cheered and got up, walking to Joe Shun-Chen's side and kissing his face as a way of expressing her happiness.

At this time, Qin Jingwen, who had just woken up, walked over.

"There's still a year until winter, what are you so happy about"

"A year goes by quickly, Mommy said so, people have to live with hope in order to have the drive. I take skiing as hope, so this year I will study hard."

Haoyue didn't quite understand what Mommy was saying, but she was really looking forward to skiing a year later.

"You're such a sly one, you can twist anything into your favor."

Qin Jingwen smiled with relief. Although her child hadn't fully expressed their desire, they at least understood. That was enough.

"Have you slept well"

Joe Shunchen sat on the ground, looking up at Qin Jingwen. His voice was low and gentle.

“Sleep well, are you tired I'll take the kids, you go have a nap too.”

Yesterday night, because everyone was staying up to celebrate the New Year, they probably didn't sleep well. Qiao Shunchen wouldn't be an exception either. So Qin Jingwen wanted Qiao Shunchen to go for a nap too.

I won't sleep. Dinner will be served soon, and I'll eat after dinner before I sleep.

Jiao Shunchen patted the seat beside him, indicating for Qin Jingwen to sit down.

"Are you really not going back tonight"

Qin Jingwen asked uncertainly, feeling guilty about spending New Year's Eve outside with him, thinking it was disrespectful to the Qiao family.

Of course, you don't have to worry about that. I can take care of things on my grandfather's side.

"

Qiao Shunchen's tone was firm. If he wasn't settled, he couldn't rest easy here.

"What about your uncle On New Year's Eve, you left him all alone on the outskirts of town"

Many people were worried about Qin Jingwen's well-being, and she just felt that Qiao Shunchen shouldn't stay.

"Alright, don't worry too much. He knows I brought Xixi to see you, he's not in the suburbs, he's with Grandpa."

"Is it so hard for me to sleep with you for one night During the Lunar New Year, can't I spare myself a nightmare"

Joe Shunchen knew Qin Jingwen was looking for any excuse to get rid of him, but what he had decided and arranged would not be changed easily.

"Having a nightmare again"

Qin Jingwen sat down and asked worriedly.

"Well, although I was startled this time, it's okay. I wasn't particularly scared because I dreamt that I was pushed away by a woman."

Jo Shun-chen spoke in a low voice, and also recalled the figure from his dream.

"Woman Who is she"

Qin Jingwen continued to ask, perhaps this wasn't a dream, but a memory from Qiao Shunchen's heart. Didn't Song Xinzhe say that Qiao Shunchen had lost part of his memory.

"I couldn't see clearly, only a back."

But this back, I feel it's particularly familiar, I don't know where I've seen it before.

Qiao Shunchen muttered to himself, lost in thought. The more he pondered, the more familiar it felt, but he just couldn't place it.

“Back view A woman’s back view”

Qin Jingwen repeated, then suddenly thought of the photo on Qiao Shunchen's phone at his villa.

"The villa on the mountaintop, you said there's a photo of a woman's back on your phone, right Could it be her"

Qin Jingwen wasn't sure either. Although she hadn't seen the photo, she felt that Qiao Shunchen's dream seemed to match it quite well.

Qiao Shunchen was startled. Qin Jingwen's reminder also reminded him of the photo.

Very similar, very similar. Both are back views, but after many years of not looking at that photo, I've forgotten what color clothes the woman in the picture was wearing, whether it matches her dream.

Qiao Shunchen remained silent, lost in thought. Just then, Zi Yue walked over and interrupted his train of thought.

"Daddy, where is the villa Mommy talked about"

The moon was half full, looking curious.

"Oh, it is..."

"That's the grandfather's house, and that's where the villa is."

Just as Qiao Shunchen was about to speak, Qin Jingwen stopped him.o trouble, I'll go back now." 。Qin Jingwen didn't want to sleep here, didn't want to disturb Qiao Shunchen, didn't want to trouble people who had nothing to do with it. 。"Wenwen, there are no buses r...
