School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 352: Chapter 399 Emotional Debt

Chen Nan stared at Yun Fei from the Eastern region. He could see her red lips moving occasionally, clearly muttering something, but her voice was barely audible.

”Speak up, I can’t hear you,” he said.

Chen Nan returned to the bedside and stood there, waiting.

He really wanted to know if this alluring woman harbored any hatred toward him, but after standing there for a good five minutes, Yun Fei didn’t utter another word.

”Damn it, when I was about to leave, you were so eager to talk. Now that I’m standing here waiting, you won’t even let out a fart.”

Chen Nan mumbled frustratedly and reached out to forcefully grab Yun Fei’s chest as a punishment, then turned around and returned to his own room.

After taking a shower, Chen Nan lay down in bed, just about to sleep, when his phone rang.

”A call this late, it better not be that crazy woman Qin Yixuan,” he muttered, feeling somewhat guilty since he had promised to return the car to her that day and had forgotten. However, when he checked his phone, he frowned. It wasn’t Qin Yixuan, but someone he felt somewhat afraid to face.

Li Xiao!

Toward this woman, Chen Nan felt only guilt.

He feared neither heaven nor earth, but he couldn’t bring himself to face Li Xiao, and had never taken the initiative to contact her for so long.

In taking her body and stealing her heart, yet being unable to promise her a future, Chen Nan felt like a failure as a man, like he lacked a sense of responsibility.

Lighting a cigarette and inhaling, Chen Nan gritted his teeth and answered the phone: ”Hello, Xiao Xiao.”

”I miss you, I can’t sleep,” said Li Xiao, her voice laced with a bitter taste. ”Are you busy right now? Can you come and keep me company?”

”Where are you?” he asked.

”Outside your house.”

”Alright, I’ll be right out.”

Chen Nan hung up, dressed, and left the house.

Parked on the roadside outside the villa was a Porsche 911. Recognizing it as Li Xiao’s car, Chen Nan opened the door and got in.

”You already said your junior sister would be back soon. I knew I shouldn’t come to you, but I just couldn’t stop missing you.” Li Xiao threw herself onto Chen Nan, burying her head in his chest. ”Am I shameless for clinging to you like this?”

Looking at the woman in his arms, Chen Nan stroked her hair. ”Don’t say that. It’s not your fault. All of this is my doing.”

”No, you’re not wrong.”

Li Xiao shook her head and forced a smile. ”It’s all self-inflicted. If I hadn’t seduced you in the first place, none of this would have happened. Besides, you helped me deal with Zhang Wenshan, ensuring he wouldn’t dare threaten my father anymore. You’ve only shown me kindness, not wrongdoing.”

”Xiao Xiao, stop it,” he said.

Chen Nan held her tightly in his arms, gently patting her back. He wanted to offer some words of comfort, but didn’t know what to say.

If his heart hadn’t already belonged to someone else, Chen Nan would never have let down this woman who deeply loved him.

Li Xiao reached out her delicate hand, slender and pale fingers gently caressing Chen Nan’s chest. ”I wish time could stop at this moment, allowing me to lie in your arms forever, never leaving nor forsaking.”

Chen Nan took a drag of his cigarette, then tossed the butt out of the car window. ”If there is another life, I will definitely promise you a lifetime of happiness and never let you down.”

”The affairs of the next life are uncertain. If I could be with you in this life, I would be willing to live several decades less,” she said.

Li Xiao buried her head in Chen Nan’s chest, unable to stop her tears. ”Besides, given your philandering nature, the romantic debts you owe in this life probably aren’t limited to me, right? You might not even be able to pay them back in the next life.”

Chen Nan embraced her, falling into silence.

Li Xiao was right; the romantic debts he owed were not just to her.

Not to look far, there was Su Qingqing. Although nothing had happened between them, Chen Nan was well aware of the girl’s feelings for him.

”Let’s not talk about this. Where shall we go to have some fun?” Chen Nan changed the subject.

But Li Xiao shook her head: ”No, I don’t want to go anywhere. I just want to lie in your arms and sleep blissfully.”

Seeing her somewhat haggard face, Chen Nan knew that she hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time. He smiled and said, ”But you can’t just sleep in the car, can you? Come on, let’s go to a hotel and get a room.”

”No, I want to leave your scent in the car,” she pleaded. ”Please, just bear with it, okay?”

Chen Nan pinched her pert nose, ”Alright, as you wish.”

”You’re so good to me. It’s a shame you can’t be my man.”

Li Xiao dived back into Chen Nan’s arms, hugging him and closing her eyes, a blissful smile on her face.

This time, she didn’t ask Chen Nan why it had been so long since he had contacted her because she was clear about the reason herself. Asking would only make Chen Nan uncomfortable and add to her own sorrow.

”With a man like you, your junior sister must be very happy,” she said.

Chen Nan shook his head. ”I owe her too much. Her kindness to me surpasses what I can ever offer her a thousandfold.”

Hearing this, Li Xiao looked up at him. ”So, are you with her because you’re grateful to her?”

”Of course not. We grew up together since we were kids. This feeling...”

Chen Nan smiled and didn’t continue.

Li Xiao fell silent for a while before speaking. ”Can you tell me about the two of you?”

”Of course,” he said.

Chen Nan reclined the seat, lay down with Li Xiao in his arms, and began to talk about his and his junior sister’s story.
