Forced to Marry Mr. Billionaire

Chapter 962: Chapter 962: I Knew You Two Were Up to No Good!

Knowing that back then, she wasn’t just avoiding Leng Yan, she was also avoiding herself.

After all, it takes two to tango. If Xia Nuo had no feelings for him, no matter how he pursued her, it wouldn’t have caused her to leave home.

So, it’s not entirely his fault.

Moreover, they had watched this child grow up and had feelings for him too, so naturally, they couldn’t bear to blame him harshly.

Mrs. Xia kindly patted his arm and smiled, "You must be tired, come home with us quickly."

Leng Yan’s eyes glinted with emotion, his heart full of gratitude.

He nodded slightly, not saying much, and carried his luggage at the front.

Back home, Xia Nuo couldn’t help but look around. After she left that year, her parents moved. She had only seen this new home in photos; this was her first time visiting.

Her room was similar to before, and her things were untouched. Seeing the home’s layout, Xia Nuo fell in love with it at first sight.

Besides, where her parents are, is naturally her home.

Mrs. Xia and Mr. Xia cooked a lot of delicious food, and the four of them gathered around the table for a family reunion meal, each feeling very happy inside.

After the meal, Mrs. Xia brought up the matter between the two of them.

"Leng Yan, you’re still young now. I’ve thought about it, and maybe you and Xia Nuo should wait a couple of years before talking about this."

Leng Yan immediately felt uncomfortable, unsure whether to sit or stand, looking quite awkward.

He composed himself and sincerely said, "Uncle, Auntie, I will treat Xia Nuo well. I’ll take good care of her, please believe me."

Leng Yan is not talkative; saying such a long sentence at once is rare for him. Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia could hear his sincerity. If it weren’t for his young age, they would have had no objections.

But, a five-year difference—that’s no trivial matter.

A difference of three years is already the limit, and five years is almost two times three.

Xia Nuo was also uneasy; she didn’t want to start a conflict with her parents right after returning.

She spoke up, "Mom, Dad, I just got off the plane and I’m tired. Can we discuss this another day?"

"Alright, it’s getting late, everyone should rest," Mrs. Xia replied.

Actually, they didn’t want to create a tense situation at this time either.

Naturally, Xia Nuo returned to her bedroom to rest, while Leng Yan went to sleep in the guest room.

Over the past month or so, they had been sleeping together. The two had long since gotten used to holding each other to sleep, and suddenly being apart, neither could fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, Xia Nuo couldn’t help but open her door with a pillow in hand, intending to go to Leng Yan’s room. Who knew someone was standing at the door, giving her a fright.

"Mom, you haven’t slept yet?" She quickly hid the pillow behind her.

Mrs. Xia didn’t expose her, "I came out for some water. Why aren’t you asleep yet?"

"I’m also getting some water." Xia Nuo casually tossed the pillow behind the door, opened the door, drank some water, and obediently returned to her room.

Just as Mrs. Xia showed a knowing smile, Leng Yan’s door also opened.

Seeing her, Leng Yan was also startled, "A-Auntie, you haven’t slept yet?"

"Yes, I was thirsty and came out for a drink. Just now Xia Nuo was also thirsty. Are you thirsty too?"

"I’m not thirsty anymore." Leng Yan quickly closed the door.

Mrs. Xia felt even more satisfied, humph, I knew you two weren’t behaving!

The next day was New Year’s Eve. Early in the morning, Mrs. Xia started preparing the food with Mr. Xia, while Leng Yan and Xia Nuo sat in the living room, wanting to get closer to each other but didn’t dare to.
