Indignant anger.
It was already evening, and Xīn's house was also by the sea. The seaside at night is the most beautiful, quietest, and most magnificent. A bright moon hung in the azure sky, its light reflected on the surface of the sea. Looking out at the vast ocean, our hearts seemed to broaden as well. In this environment, people feel refreshed and invigorated, their spirits lifted. The tide rose, and wave after wave surged towards the shore. Some waves rose up like rolling hills; others crashed against the rocks along the coast, sending spray flying several meters high, creating a magnificent sound: "Whoosh... whoosh..."
Xin arrived at the Nan Gong family's doorstep in her Porsche, where many bodyguards were standing guard. The entrance was not a place that could be entered or exited casually, unless one was an old friend or relative of the Nan Gong family, or a close business partner. As soon as Xin stepped out of the car, all the bodyguards saw that she was the treasured daughter of the Nan Gong family's young master and didn't dare to provoke her. They obediently opened the large gate and made way for her to pass through. When Xin reached the middle of the courtyard, the bodyguards chimed in unison: "Miss Shangguan has arrived at the Nan Gong residence." Xin merely smiled at them before quickly walking into the grand living room of the Nan Gong family's home. Having been there several times before, she was already familiar with the place.
When Xiang arrived at the corridor of Yi's room, she heard someone crying. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yi's parents standing in front of Yi's door, so she quickly walked over to them.
"Uncle and Auntie, what are you doing here?" Xiang asked as she approached them, her tone not as cold as usual but rather gentle.
"Xiang'er, you've finally arrived. As soon as Yi came back, he locked himself in his room and wouldn't come out no matter how we called him. Can you please help us persuade him to come out?" Yi's mother said, tightly grasping Xiang's hand and asking for her help.
"Yes, Auntie, don't worry! I'll definitely help you get Yi to come out." Xiang said reassuringly.
"Uncle and Auntie, why don't you go rest for a while? I'll stay here and take care of it." Before they could respond, Xiang added another sentence.
"Yes, we'll head down first. If there's anything, we'll call you!" Uncle nodded and left with Auntie.
"Yi, can you please open the door? I know I ran away and made you worry, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have made you worry, I was wrong. Please open the door, okay? As long as you open it, I'll agree to anything." Xiang said with a pleading tone while knocking on the door.
Not long after, Yi opened the door, and without waiting for Xiang's agreement, he pulled her into his room. Yi's room had never been allowed to be entered by others before, and this was the first time someone had entered.
"Hey! That hurts! Can you not be so rough?" Xiang complained.
"Silly girl, even if I'm gentle it still hurts." Yi stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Xiang. Seeing her current state, he couldn't help but smile.
"You're laughing? Why don't you try it yourself!" Xiang pouted with a pink cherry mouth, muttering to herself.
"Baby, from now on you can't make me worry again, or else there will be consequences!" Yi pinched Xiang's adorable face, his tone very gentle. If someone saw Yi at this moment, he would definitely become the hottest news headline!
"Don't worry! I won't make you worry again!" Xiang's face turned red after being pinched by Yi.
"Baby, didn't you just say that as long as I opened the door, you'd agree to anything? Was that true?" Yi looked at Xiang with a sly smile. Xiang suddenly saw Yi's gaze and didn't dare look directly at him anymore, instead looking away.
"Huh... did I say that? When did I say that?" Xiang tried to deny it with a "I'd rather die than admit it" attitude.
"Baby, are you regretting it?" Yi teased Xiang upon seeing her denial.
"I'm not regretting it! It's just that I didn't say it." Xiang still refused to acknowledge it.
