Chapter 372 I Can Dare Only If You Allow Me...

Frowning Nixxxie stepped closer to him to wrap a scarf around his neck. He was tall, so it was not that easy for her unless he bent down forward a little. As he was not understanding her difficulty, she stared into his eyes. 

Jiang Yang noticed her gaze and said, "I have a backache today so I can't bend down."

Nixxxie was boiling with anger from inside because of the silly excuse but didn't say anything. Tiptoeing, she tried to wrap a scarf around his neck and Jiang Yang said again, "Make sure to circle it twice around my neck without a single fold on it and tie a proper knot.

Nixxxie didn't say a word and started to do what he asked for that made her stand closer to him. This is what Jiang Yang wanted. He didn't help her at all and stood there straight, not willing to make it easy for her to let her stand closer to her for some more time.

Nixxxie once lost her balance and held onto his arm as she was trying to circle the scarf around his neck without leaving a fold anywhere. Stil,l Jiang Yang didn't buzz and stood straight enjoying the closer view of her face and feeling her sweet breath.

Doing so, Nixxxie could feel his gaze on her face and his hot minty breath. It didn't take much time to make her heart beat faster. As she was done, she immediately stood away from him not making eye contact.

"You were so loud. You know?" Jiang Yang said.

"Loud?" She looked at him to know what was he talking about?

"Your heart beats were too loud for me to hear them just like that."

"My heart is normal. You must have heard something else." She denied even though she knew it was the truth.

"Let me check then if I am wrong," he said as being ready to step towards her.

Taking a step away from him, she exclaimed, "You pervert. Stay away from me."

"Pervert huh? What is so bad in checking the heartbeats. I do it daily." Saying it he stepped towards her. 

Nixxxie immediately tightened her winter coat around her chest. Seeing it, Jiang Yang didn't know what to say and laughed.

"It's not funny." She glared at him.

"It is. What are you so scared about? I was going to check your wrist," He replied carrying a teasing smile on his face.

Hearing it, Nixxxie felt embarrassed and speechless. Moving closer to her, he whispered in her ear, "I don't mind doing it in your way though."

"Nixxxie's face turned red and one could see how red her earlobes turned, like a cherry. Jiang Yang noticed it and said, "I think you are feeling too cold. Do you want me to warm you up?"

"Don't you dare." nixxxie said while feeling his hot breath on her earlobe. Both were still standing closer ignoring the people passing by.

"I can dare only if you will allow me."

"That won't happen ever."

"But that day you liked it." Jiang Yang was referring to their kiss in the hotel room.

Nixxxie gulped to hear it and Jiang Yang stepped back not willing to tease her more. He understood the reason for the sudden change in her behavior and she was not wrong. The girl who had lost someone precious in the past, it was obvious for her to react in this way when she realized one more precious person in her life can be in trouble.

Jiang Yang didn't want to force her for anything and let her be the way she wanted until things resolved. Just then Jiang Yuyan returned back and said, "I am sorry. It took a long time. Let's go now."

Three of them went to the restaurant on the other side of the road. Jiang Yang sat beside Jiang Yuyan and Nixxxie sat opposite to them across a square-shaped four-seater table.

After giving an order for the food, Nixxxie excused herself to go to the washroom. Once she left, Jiang Yang looked at his sister and asked, "What exactly you left back in the store?"

Jiang Yuyan smiled and replied, "Whatever it might be but aren't you happy that I left both of you alone?"

Jiang Yang smiled and replied, "I always knew, my sister is very smart."

"At least more than you."

"I will accept it as you made my day so no argument with you."

"Are you that happy?" Jiang Yuyan asked.

"Imagine yourself in my place and Lu Qiang on hers."

"Hmm! I understand."

In a while, Nixxxie came back and the food they ordered arrived too. After having just a few bites, Jiang Yang's cell phone rang. He saw the message on it and said, "Sorry ladies, I have to leave as it's an emergency."

Pulling out a card from his wallet, he put it on the table and said, "This lunch is on me." He stood up from the chair and went to Nixxxie's side. She looked up at him and before she could understand, he pecked on her lips and said, "Take care princess. Hope to see you soon." 

Without giving her a chance to react, he left in a hurry and Nixxxie just continued staring at his retreating back. Jiang Yuyan quietly continued eating her food and didn't disturb Nixxxie.

Once Jiang Yang was out of her sight, Nixxxie looked at Jiang Yuyan with embarrassed expressions but seeing Jiang Yuyan was busy eating, she gave out a sigh of relief and continued eating her food. 

Both just talked about the things in university and finished lunch. After paying a bill from her brother's card, Jiang Yuyan passed that card to Nixxxie and said, "Can you give it back to my brother?"

"Me?" Nixxxie asked.

Jiang Yuyan nodded, "Hmm! Lu Mansion is too far from here and it will take me too much time to go to my brother and then go back home in this condition as roads are covered in snow. You live near the hospital so I hope it won't be a trouble for you. Moreover, he is too busy that we don't meet often to give it back to him and what if there is an emergency and he needs it?"
