Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Like Lovers Reunited After Many Years Apart “Mom, you don’t need to do this. I said I wouldn’t associate with Leng Yan, and I definitely won’t. Don’t you believe my words?” “It’s not that I don’t believe you, I just don’t trust Leng Yan.” “…” Updates are released by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁 No matter what Xia Nuo said, Mrs. Xia insisted on accompanying her abroad. Xia Nuo had no choice but to compromise. In the evening, she secretly told Leng Yan about this. Two days later, Xia Nuo returned with her mom to the rented apartment, and all of Leng Yan’s things were gone from the room. It felt like she had always been living there alone, as if Leng Yan had never moved in. She knew that Leng Yan had already tidied up everything in advance; she just didn’t know where he had moved to. After a day of rest, Xia Nuo went to work the next day. While walking, she saw someone standing ahead. Who else could it be but Leng Yan? She hadn’t seen him for so long that Xia Nuo excitedly rushed forward into his embrace. The two held each other tightly, like lovers reunited after being lost for years. “Where did you move to?” Xia Nuo released him a bit and hastily asked. But Leng Yan urgently kissed her lips, only letting go reluctantly when she couldn’t breathe anymore. He cradled her face, his eyes doting, “I live in this district. After work in the afternoon, I’ll take you to see my place.” “Mm! But I can’t stay too long, my mom is waiting at home.” “I know. You say Auntie is so cautious, but she has her rules, and we have our ways.” Leng Yan nodded with a smile. Xia Nuo burst into laughter, feeling like the two of them were like underground fighters. Holding his arm, she said while walking forward, “Don’t worry, my mom is just not assured about us temporarily. Once she feels assured, she’ll naturally leave.” “Xia Nuo, I really hope we can all live here in the future and never go back.” This way, no one can interfere with their matters, and they can always have their own world. “You’re dreaming, my mom has already said that once the lease ends, I have to return home and not stay outside…” The two chatted all the way to the company, as if the past few days of sadness had been swept away and life returned to a happy and joyful time. Just like that, Xia Nuo and Leng Yan continued meeting in secret, successfully keeping it from Mrs. Xia. A month later, Mrs. Xia noticed that Xia Nuo seemed to have let go of Leng Yan, and the news from Mr. Xia’s side suggested that Leng Yan had stayed in City J, never leaving. She truly believed that the two had broken apart. Since there was nothing to worry about, Mrs. Xia started packing to go home. She wasn’t really used to staying abroad. Knowing her mom was leaving, Xia Nuo felt both happy and guilty. Happy that she wouldn’t have to sneak around to meet Leng Yan anymore, guilty for deceiving her mom—if she found out, who knows how heartbroken she’d be. After sending her mom onto the plane, as Xia Nuo walked out of the airport, Leng Yan came up to meet her. Holding her hand, he smiled and said, “Let’s go home then, to your place or mine?” Smiling with her eyes, Xia Nuo replied, “Let’s go to yours. I’m afraid my parents might suddenly check on me.” That day, Xia Nuo moved into the apartment Leng Yan rented, and that night they cooked a lavish dinner and ate before showering and going to bed. After more than a month, they finally could sleep on the same bed again, bringing happiness to both. Leng Yan embraced her, constantly kissing her lips before passionately moving to her neck.
