Bringing the Nation's Husband Home - Chapter 723

Chapter 723

After taking two steps, Song Xiangsi suddenly stopped, like she felt something . With her back against Xu Jiamu, she stood there for a while before slowly turning around . Her eyes were a little cold when she stared directly at Xu Jiamu .

Reuniting after not seeing one another for a really long time, it seemed like he lost his carefree elegance . His clothes were so creased he looked like he had worn them for quite some time now . His hair was messy and his complexion looked exhausted .

But all this had nothing to do with her . . . He wasn't her man . She didn't want to spend any more of her time on him .

Song Xiangsi thought about it, then drew her eyes back, as though Xu Jiamu was a complete stranger . She continued on her way, but before she could take two steps, the sound of a familiar voice came .  "Xiangsi . "

Song Xiangsi halted for just a moment, but she never stopped . Instead, she continued to walk arrogantly onward .

Xu Jiamu didn't know what he was doing either . Because of the horrible things his mother did, he didn't want to go home . He couldn't face his brother and his best friend either . He felt like he became alone in this world . He really wanted to be with someone for a little while, just for a little while . . .

With that thought, Xu Jiamu suddenly caught up to her and fiercely grabbed her wrist . He pulled her back a step, making her face him .

Song Xiangsi tried to swing her wrist from his grip, but failed . She let out a chuckle, and calmly raised her head to look back at Xu Jiamu . "Young master Xu, I don't remember our relationship being so close you can casually drag me back on the street . . . "

After Song Xiangsi said this, she was suddenly dragged tightly into Xu Jiamu’s arms . "Xiangsi, stay with me for a moment, a moment . . . "

Xu Jiamu's voice was pitiful and weak, stopping Song Xiangsi's taunting words in her throat before she could speak them .

Xu Jiamu didn't say a thing, but hugged her tighter in his arms .

Song Xiangsi could clearly feel a teardrop roll down her ear and into her clothes . She pursed her lips, and balled up her hands by her side into tight fists . Eventually, she raised her arms and hugged Xu Jiamu's waist .

Xu Jiamu dug his head deeper into her neck, and another teardrop rolled down the same tear-stained path on her neck .

Back in Mian Xiu Garden, Qiao Anhao turned the shower on for Lu Jinnian . Taking the opportunity whilst he was showering, she gave the room a quick clean . She also put the bouquet of flowers Lu Jinnian gave her into a vase, so as to prevent the flowers from withering too swiftly . She even added some flower food into the water .

When Lu Jinnian finished taking a shower, he came out of the bathroom to find Qiao Anhao taking photos of the bouquet she put in a vase .

Qiao Anhao heard noises from the bathroom door, but before she could turn her head to glance over, someone suddenly hugged her waist . She fell into Lu Jinnian’s arms, as he leaned his head forward and stretched past her neck, covering her lips .

As he kissed her, his hands snaked under her clothes .

Qiao Anhao knew what Lu Jinnian meant by his movements .  She slightly avoided his lips, and said with an unsteady breath, "You've been rushing around for so long, aren't you tired?"
