Chapter 865 - She Tiptoed to Kiss Him (1/2)

Hearing his low and magnetic voice say ‘long time no see’, Nan Zhi’s eyes constricted slightly. She felt as if a storm had appeared in her chest, her mood dropping completely.

Scorching hot liquid swelled in her eyes, wanting to fall out at any time.

It really had been a long time for them.

In the blink of an eye, it had already been four years…

How familiar they were with each other in the past was how unfamiliar they were with each other now.

Nan Zhi stared into his calm eyes, her heart twisting in pain. Her appearance and disappearance probably wouldn’t be able to affect his emotions anymore!

Not wanting to show her emotions too much, Nan Zhi smirked and replied with a smile, “Long time no see. Congratulations, you’ve become the King.”

He did not reply.

He merely stared at her coldly.

Nan Zhi felt really uncomfortable by his stare, but she tried her best to remain calm. “How is Xiaojie?”

He lifted his cigar, inhaling once before he slowly exhaled smoke, his features blurred by the thin veil of smoke.

Staring at him like this, Nan Zhi’s long lashes fluttered slightly. If they had to compare who was calmer, she was never his opponent.

Besides, as time pa.s.sed, he appeared even more mature and hard to read.

She could tell that he didn’t want to speak to her. She pursed her lips saying, “It’s late, I won’t disturb you any further.”

After she nodded at him, she returned to her room.

If they didn’t meet and didn’t talk, maybe she wouldn’t feel so bad.

But they had met and even spoke to each other. Her emotions spilled like a dam that had been opened, she couldn’t stop it even if she wanted to.

She didn’t dare to admit that she really really missed him.

She missed him so much.

However, she also understood that four years could change many things. They could never go back anymore…

His eyes on her were like when he was looking at a stranger, cold and distant.

He was already a King that was above everyone, while she was merely a small boss of a private kitchen.

They were completely different, like a cloud and the mud in the ground!

As expected of a seven-star hotel, there were various expensive alcohol placed in their rooms. Nan Zhi could not go to sleep, and was feeling horrible and suffocated, so she opened an alcohol bottle. Sitting by the bed, she downed gla.s.s after gla.s.s of alcohol, her mind getting fuzzier by the moment.

If she was drunk, she would probably have a good sleep, right?

She didn’t know how many gla.s.ses of alcohol she had drunk. Her stomach was feeling queasy and uncomfortable. As she leaned back against the bed frame, she stared blankly out into s.p.a.ce.

Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in front of her.

The man was wearing a white s.h.i.+rt and a black pants, the most cla.s.sic combination. However, on him, it looked extremely luxurious and dignified.

Even on a subconscious level, he was exuding the aura of a King.

Nan Zhi blinked, a scoff appearing on her lips in self-ridicule.

She was hallucinating again.

When she first left him, apart from being constantly worried about Qiao Yanze, she worried and missed him as well.

Almost every night, it was hard for her to fall asleep and she had insomnia. Or if she somehow managed to fall asleep, she would dream of him too.

However, whenever she wanted to jump into his arms, he would push her away coldly. Then, his cold words would ring in her ears, telling her that he wouldn’t wait for her.

Nan Zhi opened her eyes, watching as the man slowly approached her from the balcony.
