Chapter 1266: Pressing Against Her from the Back
Xia Ling bought a stick of cotton candy from the dessert shop and handed it over to Mu Mu. “Eat up, Mu Mu.”
A happy expression appeared on Mu Mu’s face as she took the cotton candy.
Xuan Ying looked at them from the opposite side of the road. Xia Ling and her daughter were both in matching white jackets today. A red scarf was wrapped around the round collar and on their feet were fuzzy snow boots. They looked extremely warm and cute.
“Mommy, the cotton candy is so sweet,” Mu Mu said with bright eyes. Xia Ling picked Mu Mu up and the pair walked onwards towards their homes. They were talking to each other and occasionally he could hear Xia Ling’s gentle voice and Mu Mu’s tinkling laugh.
Xuan Ying froze, not daring to even bat a single eyelid. He was afraid that this scene would vanish if he shut his eyes.
He had just been thinking of her, and here she was right in front of him.
She had cut her hair short.
Her long black hair had been trimmed up to her shoulders and sparse bangs covered her forehead. Along with her red lips and pretty face, she was as beautiful as a lotus flower.
She had been Feng Lingxue in the past, her beautiful face attracting many men. Now she was Xia Ling, a smile was constantly on her small face. Her eyes were gentle, making her look especially alluring.
God, he loved every part of her. It didn’t matter whether her hair was long or short. He loved her regardless.
Personally, he felt that short hair looked better on her. It made her look like a young lady who had never grown up, someone who was delicate and loved to smile.
Something burned his fingers. His cigarette had burned down to its end and touched his fingers. Putting his cigarette out on the trash bin, he walked towards the opposite road.
He had no idea what he was doing. All he wanted was to follow them, to get a better look at them.
Xia Ling walked to the bus stop with Mu Mu in her arms. A bus arrived and she boarded it with Mu Mu. Without even pausing to think, Xuan Ying boarded the bus with them.
…
On the bus.
Xia Ling put a few coins into the ticketing machine and walked to the back of the bus with Mu Mu in hand. At this moment, she heard the bus driver say, “Sir, please pay when you board the bus.”
Xuan Ying stood tall and straight beside the bus door. He looked at the ticketing machine and pressed his thin lips together in displeasure.
He had never taken a bus before and didn’t know that he had to pay with coins.
He didn’t have such things on him.
“Sir, you will need to pay first,” the bus driver repeated.
Xuan Ying glanced sideways at Xia Ling’s beautiful figure. At that moment, Xia Ling turned towards the direction of the sound and returned his gaze.
Their eyes collided.
Xia Ling looked at him. He was extremely tall, about 1.88 meters tall, and looked like a god guarding the door.
He was in a black shirt with the top two buttons undone, revealing his exquisite collarbones. A black leather belt was wrapped around his slim waist which led down to his long legs. He had both hands in his pocket and his sleeve rode up his arms and showed an expensive watch around his wrist.
Hearing the bus driver ask him to pay, his lips pressed into a line of displeasure. His handsome features were tight and he had a dark aura of coldness surrounding him.
Xia Ling didn’t recognize him.
But for some reason, she felt a sudden twinge of pain in her heart when she looked at him.
She found that she couldn’t look away at all.
Beside her, Mu Mu recognized Xuan Ying immediately. Her eyes lit up as she tugged on Xia Ling’s hand and said, “Mommy, the handsome uncle forgot to bring coins. Can you lend him some?”
Xia Ling’s attention snapped back to Mu Mu as she tugged on her hand. She blushed as she realized how long she had been staring at that man.
Looking at Mu Mu’s big innocent eyes, Xia Ling pulled out a coin. Mu Mu ran happily over to the bus driver and tiptoed to hand him to drop the coin in with her small fair hands.
“Handsome uncle, you can come in now.”
Then Mu Mu ran back to Xia Ling’s side.
The bus was filled with people and there was only one space left. Xia Ling picked Mu Mu up and let her sit down before standing in front of her. But the bus was too crowded and someone knocked into her.
“Sorry,” the person said.
Xia Ling turned around to look. The person who had knocked into her was a bright young man. He apologized immediately.
“It’s fine.”
Xia Ling shook her head and looked back at Mu Mu.
Xia Ling was still the same person as before. She was warm and loving towards those she cared about and cold towards strangers.
The man looked at Xia Ling’s beautiful side profile. Her skin was glowing and her lips were red with her eyelashes long and curled. She looked like a painting from a distinguished artist.
This man had never seen someone so beautiful in his life and he started blushing. He was debating whether he should ask for her contact details.
But his vision turned dark as a tall figure squeezed in between Xia Ling and him. Xuan Ying had come over to stand behind Xia Ling. Both of them were facing the window. He took a hand out of his pocket to hold the railing.
As Xuan Ying was an elite, he had been steeped in wealth and fame for many years. The man looked small in comparison to him.
His actions were nothing big, and nothing out of the ordinary in this crowded bus. But as he stood behind Xia Ling, one hand above her with his chest open, he looked as though he was protecting her in his embrace.
He left no room for people to look at her.
The man seemed to sense something and turned away begrudgingly.
Xia Ling didn’t seem to have noticed everything that had happened behind her. At this moment, Mommy tugged on her hand and said, “Mommy, this cotton candy is so sweet, here, have some too.”
“Sure!”
Xia Ling bent over to eat the cotton candy.
When Xuan Ying lowered his handsome face, he saw her lower her lips to the cotton candy before sticking her tongue out to lick it, then taking a small bite.
Xuan Ying quickly looked away.
The sight made him want to groan as he felt his waist tense up and the blood rush to his head.
His throat was so dry.
He swallowed calmly.
At this moment, Xia Ling stood back up and the bus swerved. Xuan Ying didn’t budge at all but Xia Ling’s back plastered against him.
Her soft body was so fragrant.
Xia Ling felt someone pressing on her back, but sensed that something was wrong. Something was poking into her back. She was no innocent young lady and there had been reports of perverts on the bus recently.
Alarm bells rang in her head. Was the person behind her one of these perverts?
Xia Ling quickly lifted her eyes to look at the bus window. She saw a handsome face with half a silver mask reflected back at her.
It was him?
Why was he standing behind her?
He was extremely tall and her head only reached his throat. The position they were in now made it look as though he was embracing her. It was extremely suggestive.
