Chapter 1726: Heartbeat Out of Control

"Is that so? Then you're quite impressive."

After Jiang Motian finished speaking, she suddenly felt that these words were inappropriate.

Because her own family had also been robbed by Xie Wanyi...

Although he hadn't succeeded...

The atmosphere became awkward in that instant.

Jiang Motian hung her head in annoyance, thinking to herself, why on earth did she bring this up!

Amidst her self-reproach, the two walked in silence to where Xie Wanyi had parked his car.

Before getting into the car, Xie Wanyi broke the silence and instructed Jiang Motian: "In the future, when you go out, you must have bodyguards follow you."

"Mm."

"If their presence makes you uncomfortable, I will arrange some of my own people for you."

"Is there any difference? Don't tell me they can turn invisible?"

Jiang Motian was just saying it casually.

But Xie Wanyi gave an affirmative answer: "More or less; at the very least, you won't be able to feel their presence."

His words piqued Jiang Motian's interest.

Jiang Motian even looked around and asked: "What about now? Are they here?"

"They are."

"Really!?"

As she spoke, Jiang Motian walked behind Xie Wanyi, preparing to take a closer look.

But because she was looking too intently, Jiang Motian tripped over a Shitou.

Her body lunged forward uncontrollably!

Oh no, I'm going to make a fool of myself in front of Xie Wanyi this time!

Jiang Motian wailed inwardly.

But the expected pain did not come.

She also didn't have an intimate encounter with the ground.

On the contrary, she was caught by a warm embrace!

Jiang Motian hesitated for a moment before looking up.

And with that look, she saw Xie Wanyi's deep eyes...

After Xie Wanyi steadied Jiang Motian, he should have let go.

But he didn't; he was self-willed for once, following his

heart, staring straight at Jiang Motian.

That focused gaze, in Jiang Motian's view... was like an electric charge!

Jiang Motian felt her body go numb from the electricity.

Her head also felt dizzy from the charge.

Her cheeks... were turning red bit by bit.

Moreover, perhaps because she was dizzy from the charge, Jiang Motian heard a rhythmic "thump-thump" sound.

This sound seemed to be...

Jiang Motian's body leaned forward continuously, her ear almost pressed against Xie Wanyi's chest.

Xie Wanyi hurriedly stepped aside.

Jiang Motian was not very satisfied with his evasion and even said: "Don't move, let me listen."

"No."

Xie Wanyi's refusal took Jiang Motian by surprise.

Afterwards, she complained: "How stingy!"

This... was not a matter of being stingy.

It was that Xie Wanyi did not want Jiang Motian to hear his heart beating like a drum...

To avoid continuing to dwell on this issue, he simply went along with Jiang Motian's words and said: "That's right, I am stingy."

"You..."

Jiang Motian rolled her eyes, then reached out to pinch Xie Wanyi's wrist.

Won't let her listen to his heartbeat?

No matter, she could count the heartbeat by taking his pulse!

Jiang Motian was calculating her own little scheme.

But how could Xie Wanyi not know her little thoughts?

He simply turned his hand and gripped Jiang Motian's hand firmly in his palm.

Jiang Motian was anxious, so she used her other hand to try and pinch him.

As a result, that was also caught by Xie Wanyi.

Just like that, the two stood face to face, holding hands...

The posture was truly very ambiguous.

But Jiang Motian's gaze had nothing to do with ambiguity.

She opened her mouth and commanded: "Let go!"

Xie Wanyi complied readily and truly let go of Jiang Motian.

But the next second, he pressed his fingers against Jiang Motian's neck.

Then he suggested,

"Press here, and you can also feel the speed of the heartbeat."

After feeling it briefly, Xie Wanyi concluded, "Your heartbeat is very fast right now."

With Xie Wanyi in this slightly flirtatious posture... it would be hard not to have a racing heart!

Jiang Motian irritably pushed Xie Wanyi's hand away, wanting to say something.

But just at this moment, someone at the window whistled.

Xie Wanyi and Jiang Motian looked up.

They saw Li Moning leaning there, watching the excitement with a smile.

Jiang Motian felt helpless and reminded her, "Don't let the wind in, close the window quickly."

"Got it, but a friendly reminder: in two minutes, Dad is going to storm over here to break up the lovebirds!"

Hearing this sentence, Jiang Motian didn't quite understand the meaning at first.

But after thinking about it...

It turned out that those intimate actions between her and Xie Wanyi hadn't just been seen by Li Moning!

There was also Dad!!

At this, Jiang Motian couldn't stay calm!

She really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!!

Watching Jiang Motian hanging her head like an ostrich, Xie Wanyi found her very cute.

He raised his hand to pat Jiang Motian's head, then looked up and said to Li Moning by the window, "Little girl, recover well."

Li Moning didn't speak, just made a salute gesture.

Afterward, Xie Wanyi said gently to Jiang Motian, "I'm leaving now."

Jiang Motian didn't look at him, just said, "Oh."

In her peripheral vision, Xie Wanyi got into the car and left.

And Jiang Motian's palm... was burning hot.

After returning home from the Hospital, Li Moning became like a national treasure.

Everyone treated her with the utmost care.

Jiang Baobao even arranged psychological therapy for her.

Fearing that this incident would

leave her with psychological trauma.

But Li Moning didn't need it at all.

She was perfectly fine.

However, she didn't refuse, and even cooperated very well with the psychological therapy.

Because...

This way, she wouldn't have to go to school!

She could stay home every day and read novels!

A life like this was simply too awesome!

But in these wonderful days, Li Moning discovered something strange:

Li Xingyan would come to her bedroom to circle around whenever he had nothing to do.

He would come, say nothing, and just look at her with a hesitant expression.

Then he would leave.

After this repeated several times, Li Moning couldn't take it anymore.

When Li Xingyan came to her room again, she spoke up, "What exactly do you want to tell me?"

Li Xingyan didn't expect Li Moning to ask so directly, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Afterward, he rubbed his chin, took a deep breath, and said, "I do have something to tell you, it's just... before, it was Brother's fault!"

Li Moning reacted for a moment before realizing that Li Xingyan was apologizing!!!

This was too rare; Li Moning even wanted to take out her phone to record it!

But such a thought could only be a thought.

If Li Moning really took out her phone, Li Xingyan would definitely flip out.

And then the apology would be gone.

So, Li Moning suppressed the impulse and asked with feigned calmness, "What was wrong?"

"It's just... I shouldn't have splashed dirty water on you just for the sake of my pride!"

This apology was insincere.

Li Xingyan still didn't think the problem lay with him.

But after this turmoil, Li Xingyan felt that Xie Wanyi was right; he shouldn't abandon the bond between siblings just for pride.

Now he had finally broken through his psychological barrier and chosen to apologize!

He believed Li Moning would bury the hatchet with him!

It's

just...

Why isn't this girl saying anything?
