736 A Million Times for You 98 (1/2)
Since her legs were restrained, she had no choice but to let him carry her while she draped her arms around his neck.
At this very moment, she could not deny that she indeed respected Jin Qingyan even more.
She was incredibly touched as well by his actions, which set a warm, fuzzy feeling in her heart.
She admitted that the only person she could rely on was him.
When he noticed that she was as meek as a lamb and no longer as resistant toward him, a smile formed on his face and he held her closely in his embrace while sprinting away.
An Xiaoning closed her eyes and leaned her head against his chest. She could clearly hear the sound of his heart beating rapidly.
After passing through the layers of ash and dust, An Xiaoning opened her eyes a long while later to see that they were no longer on Pei Yi's territory and were now in a jungle.
It suddenly hit her that Jin Qingyan had rescued her from the dungeon.
After catching his breath, Jin Qingyan picked her up again and tread along the path, not allowing her the time to look around her surroundings at all.
He continued to walk uphill.
An Xiaoning thought to herself that there must be someone waiting for them at the top.
She was not so foolish as to request for him to put her down either, knowing clearly that she would only be wasting more time since her legs were chained together and she could thus not walk with ease.
”Are you tired?” she asked.
Beads of perspiration trickled down his forehead as he answered, ”I won't find it tiring when I see you in my arms. You haven't looked at me like this in a long time. Xiaoning, you're really beautiful.”
She rolled her eyes and chided, ”You're still flirting with me at this juncture.”
”I mean it.”
”I don't believe you.”
She knew clearly that her face was covered in soot and she appeared extremely disheveled at the moment. How could that be beautiful?
”No matter what you look like, you'll always be beautiful to me.”
An Xiaoning looked up and made eye contact with him. They kept quiet and held each other's gazes in silence.
After walking for more than twenty minutes, they finally arrived at a bare land.
There happened to be a helicopter waiting for them there.
There were a few people inside the helicopter.
Jin Qingyan was beyond exhausted the moment he put An Xiaoning down.
He took deep breaths of air while the pilot immediately took off.
An Xiaoning grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the table and opened it.
Jin Qingyan's arms were so sore that he could not even lift it. Thus, An Xiaoning held the bottle and fed him some water.
He gulped half the bottle of water down in one go.
She capped the bottle of water again and placed it back onto the table.
The helicopter soared above rapidly and began hovering in mid-air.
An Xiaoning peeked out of the window with a pair of binoculars, only to see that Pei Yi's territory had gone up in flames, with thick fumes spreading from the site. However, only a small area around the dungeon was affected.
Jin Qingyan had taken a huge risk by doing this. Several nations across the globe dared not provoke such an intimidating terrorist organization like DK. Besides, Pei Yi's territory was merely a small part of the organization, which meant that the headquarters must be harder to deal with.
Hence, it would be more than difficult to eliminate the organization entirely.
No country could manage to do it for the past few decades, let alone Jin Qingyan.
After all, he only did it to rescue An Xiaoning.
He was not afraid either.
Once he returned to his turf, A City, the DK Organization wouldn't dare to send their subordinates to deal with Jin Qingyan. A few hitmen would be no match for Jin Qingyan's security team.
