Chapter 178: Chapter 0178: Skyscraper of Happiness_1
 

“Personally, I think your dad isn’t that bad. Some things he’s done come from a good place. Like sending you to the military.”

“My mother’s death, he can’t escape responsibility for that.” Ye Xiong finished speaking, sighed, then changed the subject, “Let’s not worry about him right now. Let’s go find a place to date and relax.”

“Who’s dating you, so shameless.” Yang Xinyi’s face turned red with embarrassment, and she rolled her eyes at him.

“After coming to Capital City, we haven’t really spent quality time together. Tonight is just for us, and no one is allowed to disturb us.”

Ye Xiong snatched her handbag, fished out her mobile phone, and turned it off.

“Temporarily confiscated. I’ll give it back to you after our date.”

“You’re really overbearing.”

“There’s more overbearing stuff to come!”

Suddenly, Ye Xiong pulled her into his arms and began to kiss her passionately.

In Yang Xinyi’s memory, this was the second time Ye Xiong had kissed her forcefully. She couldn’t remember when the last time was.

After everything that had happened, Yang Xinyi realized that her heart wasn’t the same as before.

She only pushed him away twice before melting into his intense kisses.

On the street, the traffic was busy, people were hurrying by, and there they were under the neon lights, kissing passionately, forgetful of everything else.

She had no idea how much time had passed before they finally stopped, her face flush and her breathing quick.

“Let me take you somewhere,” Ye Xiong said, pulling her along.

“I’m not going to a hotel to do bad things with you,” Yang Xinyi declared in advance.

Ye Xiong’s face darkened; in her eyes, he was just an animal driven by his lower half.

Seemingly, that was true.

“We’re not going to a hotel, rest assured.”

No matter if she agreed or not, Ye Xiong pushed and pulled her into a taxi.

“Driver, Yintai Building.”

After half an hour, the two stopped in front of the Yintai Building.

Looking at the towering skyscraper before her, Yang Xinyi was moved.

This building was so tall, it seemed like it reached into the clouds, the largest skyscraper she remembered in Capital City.

“Why did you bring me here?” she asked, curious.

“Let’s go inside.”

Not knowing what he was up to, Yang Xinyi could only follow him inside.

The two took the elevator to the top floor.

To get to the rooftop, there was no path.

Ye Xiong went to a room, tampered with something using a piece of wire, and went inside.

It was a storage room. He went to the window, opened it, and immediately a gust of night wind blew in.

Reaching out the window, he groped around for a bit and soon found a metal wire about the size of his thumb, tugging at it several times.

“Good, it should be able to support the weight of two people.”

“What on earth are you doing?” Yang Xinyi couldn’t help but ask, driven by curiosity.

Ye Xiong scooped up Yang Xinyi around the waist, holding her, and leaped out the window.

“What are you doing, ah…”

“Let go, I don’t want to die, what the hell are you thinking?!”

Yang Xinyi was terrified by Ye Xiong’s actions.

“Hold on tight, we’re on the sixty-third floor, falling down from here is no joke,” Ye Xiong said, laughing.

With one hand holding the beauty and the other grasping the metal chain, he began to climb upwards slowly.

For an average person, climbing up with a woman in tow would not be easy.

But he managed it with ease, reaching the rooftop with her in no time.

Yang Xinyi kept her eyes shut from fear until they landed on the rooftop, and only then did she open her eyes.

At that moment, she was absolutely captivated by the view before her.

What a captivating sight!

Beneath the night sky, Capital City lay sprawled out below, its splendor defying description.

A cool breeze wafted through the air, and from above, Ten Miles Long Street shone brightly with lights that formed a Fire Dragon, winding through the city and creating a scene of dazzling prosperity.

Standing here, one would realize that buildings seemed like toys, cars like beetles, and people like ants; everything else appeared insignificant.

One’s heart, too, would in an instant feel boundlessly expansive.

“How do you like this place?”

Ye Xiong asked, pointing to the scene below.

“It’s very nice. Do you come here often?” Yang Xinyi turned around, her beautiful eyes gazing at him.

“Whenever I encountered something troubling in the past, I would come here, sit all night, look at the view, and then I would feel much more at ease and then continue to be carefree,” Ye Xiong said with a smile.

“You’re terrible!”

Yang Xinyi playfully struck his chest.

Ye Xiong grasped her hand and gazed at her intently.

Thus they looked at each other, and for a moment, it seemed as if they were the only two people left in the world.

Yang Xinyi gently closed her eyes and tilted her head up slightly as if waiting for something.

How could Ye Xiong not understand this hint? He held her softly and kissed her.

What could be more romantic than embracing each other and kissing on top of the tallest skyscraper in Capital City?

Suddenly, as if startled by something, Yang Xinyi quickly broke free from his embrace and shook her head frantically, “I’m sorry, Ah Xiong, I can’t do this?”

“Why?” Ye Xiong asked, puzzled.

“I’m not ready yet, give me some time,” Yang Xinyi pleaded.

Ye Xiong found it strange; just a moment ago Yang Xinyi had seemed moved, so why the intense reaction all of a sudden?

“Alright, as you wish.”

Ye Xiong adjusted his clothes, walked over, and gently said, “I want to know, why?”

“I’m scared!” Yang Xinyi blurted out the word after a long pause.

“Scared of what?”

“It hurts.”

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xinyi said, “That night, you were drunk, and it hurt me a lot. Just thinking about what happened last time frightens me.”

Ye Xiong felt like slapping himself.

What on earth had he done that night?

“I was drunk that time; it’s different now,” Ye Xiong said, extremely embarrassed and shamelessly added, “You must have heard, actually, doing such a thing is quite pleasurable.”

“No, you’re not my husband. Why should I do that with you?”

Yang Xinyi seemed to have fully regained her composure, the flush on her face fading, and then glared at Ye Xiong.

“Tell me the truth, how many women have you brought up here before me? I didn’t expect you to be so skilled at seducing women. It must be easy for women to lose themselves in such a romantic setting. I almost fell for it.”

Ye Xiong was at a loss for words.

“I’ve never brought a woman up here before; you’re the first,” Ye Xiong replied.

“I don’t believe you. Seeing how familiar you are with this place, you’re clearly a veteran of love affairs,” Yang Xinyi retorted.

“Fine, if you don’t believe me, let it be,” Ye Xiong said helplessly.

The two stayed until eleven before going back.

Everyone at home was still awake—the son-in-law, the younger sister-in-law, Yangyang, and Tang Ning—all were waiting for them in the living room. Upon their return, they hurried over.

“Brother, where have you been? We couldn’t reach you on your phone, and we were almost worried to death,” Ye Yangyang said anxiously as he approached.

“I was out clearing my head with your sister-in-law, there’s no need to worry.

“Both of your phones were off; definitely nothing good,” Tang Ning’s eyes roamed over the two of them.

“As long as everything’s alright. It’s late; let’s all go rest,” Yang Yueru said.

One by one, everyone then went to sleep.
