Chapter 926 - 925: A Kiss Lost and Found!

Nalan Ye Jue landed the helicopter in front of Qin Xin’s sports car with a stern face.

He stepped out of the cockpit, his leg unsteady from a recent surgery, unable to switch to a wheelchair or change into knee pads, and walked with a limp, using only an easily-picked dry branch as his support.

He looked at Qin Xin’s car surrounded by flames, and in the depths of his eyes were pain, anger, regret, and rage... A myriad of emotions intertwined, making his starry eyes almost blaze.

He walked step by step into the fire.

"Even if I can only bring out your bones, as your husband, I must find you..."

His foot was tripped by a stone on the mountain path, causing him to stumble slightly, the thorn on the dry branch breaking his palm, yet he hurriedly headed toward the burning sports car.

As if there was the most precious thing he had in his life, the most indispensable thing.

Just as he was about to open the door of the burning cockpit.

Suddenly, a force from behind wrapped around his waist.

"Big fool, the car can explode a second time from the fire, how can you be so foolish to go find my bones? I’m right here!"

Qin Xin was so upset she almost cried, holding onto his waist, desperately pulling him back.

Nalan Ye Jue’s body stiffened.

Quickly turned around to embrace her, his starry eyes scanning her entire body, fearing she had the slightest injury.

Thankfully, she only had a little ash on her face, and her sleeve was torn by branches.

He closed his eyes.

Took a deep breath.

Then, suddenly bent down and kissed her lips.

This feeling of losing and regaining, he really, really, really didn’t want to experience a second time.

In the deserted wilderness.

This kiss lasted a long, long time.

The roaring flames were right behind them.

As if afraid to disturb their sweet moment, obediently shrunk smaller and dared not explode loudly.

It was the first time Qin Xin had been kissed so long and hard by a man, truly feeling his complicated and unspeakable emotions.

She draped her arms around his shoulders, breathlessly murmuring, "To... to the plane... go... continue... okay..."

Nalan Ye Jue fiercely bit her before lifting her into his arms, slowly walking towards the helicopter.

Settling her in the co-pilot’s seat, he worriedly scanned her again, wishing he could tear her clothes to carefully check if there was any hidden injury he hadn’t noticed.

Qin Xin coughed lightly, "I’m really okay. The moment the fireball engulfed the car, I opened the door, used a climbing hook, and hung myself below the cliff, only climbing up once the flames had lessened."

Thankfully, the car was equipped with outdoor gear.

Besides fighting tools, there were survival tools, allowing her to temporarily improvise.

Also, thanks to their opponent being too arrogant and ruthless, creating such a big fireball to engulf her car actually gave her the cover to open the door and escape using the flames.

She smiled, "Won’t you praise my reflexes?"

Unexpectedly, Nalan Ye Jue didn’t praise but said with a stern face, "Praise? Sneaking away from her husband’s bed in the middle of the night, is it worthy of praise? As the matriarch, not cherishing your body and using yourself as bait to lure the enemy to such a remote place for mutual destruction? You think I’ll praise you?"

Qin Xin guiltily pouted, "Who wants to perish with that ugly monster? I just wanted to trick him far away, then escape."

Nalan Ye Jue deeply gazed at her, "He is both ugly and foolish, yet it’s undeniable his prowess is far above ordinary humans. Little wife, today you really were too reckless."

"From now on, as your husband, I will never allow you to place yourself in such danger. If a woman has to venture, then what’s the point of having men in the world? What’s my point?"

"The man you married, is he unable to protect you?"
