Chapter 319: I Got My Answer...

"Stop. What are you doing?" Nixxxie exclaimed not knowing the reason for Jiang Yang's sudden act.

"Don't waste time as somehow I managed to get rid of a dog sent by your brother." Saying it he pulled her towards the door nearby which led to the emergency exit stairs.

Hearing his word, Nixxxie obediently followed him as she too was aware of having the spy around, sent by her step-brother.

Once they reached the stairs behind the door, Jiang Yang let go of her hand and asked while looking into her eyes, "Why are you avoiding me?"

"I am not," she replied staring back into his eyes.

Jiang Yang knew it was a lie. "Then why did you come out of the room when I entered inside."

"It was not because of you. It was because I wanted to get fresh air," she replied firmly as not giving up to his straight forward questions.

"What do you think? Am I an idiot?" He asked, to which Nixxxie didn't know how to answer.

Jiang Yang continued, "Before, you used to wait for me every day to come to check on your mother and without blinking an eye, you used to keep staring at me then what changed now?"

Hearing it she startled, "W..When did I? I never....."

"Shhh!" putting a finger on her lips, Jiang Yang stopped her from talking. "Lie to me but at least don't lie to yourself."

"You are mistaken." She tried to defend herself.

"No, I am not. I even know whenever I came to the room at midnight, you always pretended to be asleep and when I kissed you....."

"I was sleepy to understand what was happening or I would have never let you kiss me," Nixxxie said before he could say anything further that she didn't want to hear.

"Really?" saying it, Jiang Yang held her by shoulders and pinned her against the wall beside them. Before she could understand what he was doing, Jiang Yang's face was closer to hers and his lips were just an inch apart from hers.

Seeing him so close, Nixxxie gulped and continued staring at him being unable to say a single word. Being so close, staring in each other's eyes both could feel each other's breath against their skin with their hearts beating faster.

Nixxxie wanted to speak but the way he was staring at her in her eyes with his intense gaze while moving his sight from her lips to her eyes, the words couldn't make their way out.

That playful, smiling and teasing Jiang Yang was nowhere to be seen. It was his other side that she was witnessing. Staring into her eyes intensely, Jiang Yang moved his lips closer, being ready to kiss her.

In a reflex, Nixxxie closed her eyes involuntarily to let him kiss her like he had cast a spell on her by staring into her eyes. Jiang Yang looked at her face and observed her closely from her dense eyelashes, tiny nose, rosy pink lips, and her glowing skin.

Once he was done observing her, he moved back without kissing her. Realizing it, Nixxxie opened her eyes just to see him standing away and staring at her.

She was embarrassed by her action that was contradictory to her previous statement that she won't let him kiss her. Before she could say anything or react, Jiang Yang spoke, "I got my answer" and left.

Nixxxie continued looking at the door from where Jiang Yang left and realized her heart was beating faster. She didn't know what to do and how to face him later. She wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

On the other side, the assistant reached the other end of the floor with the man in a black suit, but no one was there. The assistant went back to his act, "Ohh! That man was here. Where has he gone?" and started to look around to search for the non-existing person with anxious expressions on his face.

The man in the suit too started to look around to search for someone but no one was there. The assistant checked the timing in his wristwatch and noticing the 10 minutes has been passed and said, "I think the staff I called for help must have taken care of it. Anyways, thank you so much for coming with me when it was an emergency. I hope that man is safe."

"I hope so too," Saying it the man in the black suit left to go back to his place to do his assigned work. The assistant doctor left too, having a smile on his face because of achieving what his senior doctor asked him to do. More than that he was happy for what he was going to get as a reward.

Jiang Yang went back to his cabin and sat in his chair, leaning back with his eyes closed. The view of her face which he observed closely started to play in front of his eyes and he still could remember the sweet smell of her perfume.

When he was closer to her, it was hard to stop himself from kissing her but he had to do that. Placing his left hand on his chest, he said, "What are you getting excited for? Calm down and slow down your speed. Your beats are buzzing in my ears."

Once he was calm he left for the home though his heart wanted to stay and go back to her.

Nixxxie went back to the room but before she could enter inside she took a deep breath and had a little smile on her lips so that her mother won't be able to sense the turmoil inside her.

The moment Nixxxie entered inside, Song Meilin asked, "Are you feeling better now?"

Nixxxie was back in a room but her brain was still stuck at the memory from the staircase. She took the time to process what her mother asked and replied, "Y...Yes.. mom... I am feeling better now." Saying it she lied down in a couch, looking like she was so exhausted.
