NOVEL NEXT Chapter 355: I Knew You Would Come Looking for Me
"Xiaoxue, what nonsense are you thinking about?" Rubbing his forehead in frustration, the woman's unreasonable tantrum felt like a smokeless war, and the man was the loser of this battle. Xiao Lin stepped forward and enveloped Xia Xue, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, in his arms, unable to resist caressing her delicate shoulders.
In silence, Xia Xue cried softly. She had a feeling this man might suddenly disappear before her, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hold onto him. Panic engulfed her.
"Oh my God, you're holding me so tightly!" Xiaoxue suddenly embraced him back, and Xiao Lin freed his hands. He was truly speechless and helpless at his woman's bewildering behavior.

She had seen him naked countless times, yet she still harbored a yearning for him like this, attributing such anticipation to excess hormones.
"What's there to misunderstand? It's not the first time we've faced each other like this." Xiao Lin nonchalantly tossed the towel aside; he had some questions to discuss with her. (To be continued.
