Chapter 632: Unable to Hold Back
Shi Nuan lightly coughed and looked towards her parents, softly calling out, “Mom, Dad.”
Mother Shi, puzzled, asked, “Your father and I just got back from our walk and saw Meng Zhi’s car drive up, but you two never got out. What were you doing in there?”
Under her mother’s questioning, Shi Nuan’s mind instantly flashed back to the events that had just transpired in the car. The nervousness she had suppressed surged back, bringing a flush to her cheeks as she stammered, “I, I…”
Just then, Shi Nuan felt her hand being grasped. Looking up at Meng Zhi beside her, a wave of reassurance washed over her.
Meng Zhi said, “I’m sorry, uncle and auntie, I was discussing some matters with Nuannuan in the car, so it took some time.”
Father Shi, upon hearing Meng Zhi’s explanation, blurted out without thinking, “What were you discussing that took so long… Honey, why are you pinching me?”
Mother Shi shot Father Shi a glare and said, “Shut up.”
Father Shi was taken aback, feeling unjustly treated, but obediently closed his mouth.
Turning back to Meng Zhi and Shi Nuan, Mother Shi smiled and said, “It sounds like you haven’t finished talking yet. We won’t disturb you further.”
Shi Nuan was startled and looked at her mother, calling out in a daze, “Mom…”
Mother Shi responded, “Don’t worry, take your time talking with Meng Zhi. Your father and I are heading back home.”
After saying this, she couldn’t help but add, “No need to rush back!”
As Father Shi followed Mother Shi’s steps away, he couldn’t help but ask, “Why can’t Nuannuan leave?”
Mother Shi coughed lightly and said, “It’s a matter between young people; we should ask less. Besides… didn’t you notice our daughter’s slightly swollen lips?”
Only then did Father Shi realize the implications, and he quickly said, “Let’s hurry home.”
Although Shi Nuan couldn’t hear her parents’ conversation, seeing their quickening pace made her feel they knew what she and Meng Zhi had done, and her face turned even redder.
Shi Nuan looked up at Meng Zhi and whispered, “Do my parents know?”
Meng Zhi chuckled and asked, “Know what?”
Her cheeks burning, Shi Nuan stuttered, “That we were, were kissing just now!”
Recalling the expressions of her parents, Meng Zhi nodded solemnly and replied, “It’s very likely.”
Despite anticipating this, Shi Nuan still felt a jolt at his confirmation and asked in a panic, “What should we do now?”
Meng Zhi’s gaze was intense as he looked at her.
Feeling his eyes on her, Shi Nuan paused and asked, “What is it?”
Meng Zhi spoke softly, “Nuannuan, I think your parents won’t mind, because they told us to continue.”
Shi Nuan echoed, “Continue…”
Meng Zhi nodded, “Let’s finish what we started just now.”
Understanding his implication, Shi Nuan’s ears turned red as she lowered her voice and said, “But we’re at the front of the villa; someone might see us.”
Meng Zhi’s eyes lingered on the car.
Shi Nuan shook her head repeatedly, “I, I need to go home.”
Meng Zhi, respecting her wishes, nodded and said, “Alright, then you should go and rest early once you’re home.”
Shi Nuan replied, “Okay.”
She walked towards the villa, only to pause and look back at Meng Zhi. The moonlight slanted across him, highlighting his refined features.
Meeting Meng Zhi’s focused gaze, Shi Nuan’s heart skipped a beat, her step faltering before she walked back to him and asked softly, “Why aren’t you going home?”
After a brief pause, she pursed her lips and whispered, “You keep watching me…”
Meng Zhi chuckled, “I’ll leave after you’re safely inside.”
Shi Nuan nodded gently, her eyes sparkling as they filled with the image of
Meng Zhi’s smiling face. A smile tugged at her lips almost unconsciously as she gazed brightly at him.
Meng Zhi was taken aback for a moment. The next second, his eyes darted away in a fluster, and he urged, “You should head back now, otherwise, I might not be able to hold back…”
Shi Nuan laughed and asked, “Hold back what?”
Meng Zhi turned his head to look at Shi Nuan, intending to explain.
But Shi Nuan didn’t wait for him to speak. She tiptoed up and kissed his lips, then quickly pulled away, waving at him with a smile. “Alright, I’m going home now. You should leave too..”
