Chapter 728: Chapter 728 Heart of a woman

Chapter 728 Heart of a woman

The elevator inside Jade Condos leisurely descends to the first floor. However, the two people inside were in an awkward situation.

Xu Long was as quiet as the night. He couldn't add up how things turned out this way.

He had only tripped, right?

Then why is he starring up at the elevator ceiling and its bright lights?

And why is Zhao Ya'Er staring down at him?

No, the real question is, from the way he fell, why can't he feel the hard and cold floor?

His mind grew chaotic and he continues to stare up at Zhao Ya'Er. He felt like he had died and gone to heaven to meet an angel.

He couldn't help but smile a soft sigh and wish that time would stop so that he could enjoy this moment longer.

*Ding

And like time was against him, the elevator bell chimes upon their arrival. The door slides open and Zhao Ya'Er looks away from him to the opened door.

Not knowing why Xu Long was not moving but staring at her with a weird smile, she clears her throat.

"Um, Assistant Xu, we've arrived."

Hearing her sweet voice, his heart fluttered with magical wings. However, thinking about her words, he slowly looks in the direction as her.

It was at that moment that all the questions in his head were answered.

Across from the elevator was a huge mirror Manager Luo had put up. It allowed all residents to see themselves when they exit the elevator.

However, what he came to realize was not the mirror, but the position they were currently in.

It's no wonder he was staring up at her and her down to him.

He doesn't know how things got to this, but his left arm was placed over her shoulder while her right arm was under his back to help support him from falling. Both their figures were leaned to the side like they had performed the final dip to Salsa dance.

Like an eternity had gone by, he slowly turns his head to look up at her. He swallows a hard gulp, but instead of standing up, he raises his right arm that had been dangling at the side.

He curls his fingers into a fist and covers his mouth with brightly lit eyes that glisten with sparkles.

"My hero…"

His voice didn't sound in its usual manliness but like that of a shy princess who had been saved from falling.

Zhao Ya'Er didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this moment. All she could do was blink her eyes and stares down at the man in her arms.

When she saw Xu Long stumbled forward, she reacted without thinking. The elevator wasn't that big so she was afraid he might hit his head on the wall.

So like any normal person, she attempted to support him, but for some unknown reason, they ended up in this situation.

Throughout the elevator ride down, she wanted to tell him because her arm was starting to hurt due to his weight, but seeing he was in a daze, she couldn't find it in her to speak.

"Well, this is something you don't see every day."

A jolly voice sounds from outside the elevator and both individuals look at the person.

Manager Luo held one hand behind his back as he presses the elevator button to keep it from closing. However, one can see the wide smile on his face.

"It seems like young people nowadays have an interesting way of showing their affections."

Zhao Ya'Er's flustered cheeks burned to her ears. Without any warning, she lets go of Xu Long and covers her mouth. Like a man who wants nothing to do with a woman he had deflowered, she carefully steps over him then darts out of the elevator in embarrassment.

"No—!"

An exaggerating slow cry escapes from Xu Long as he falls onto the floor. He watches Zhao Ya'Er flee away from the scene and he swore it was like his heart had been shattered into pieces.

"Ah!"

A small yelp sounds from him when his back touches the hard elevator floor. He groans softly at the slight pain, then sits up and glares at Manager Luo.

"Why did you let my hero get away?"

He knows that having Zhao Ya'Er hold him was wrong, but he rather stays in her warm arms than be on the cold floor.

Manager Luo was rendered speechless by the assistant. Even now, he cannot understand the young man's way in life and how he (Xu Long) thinks.

He heaves a long sigh in pity for Xu Long and takes a step inside the elevator.

"Xu Long, I know that you are still young, and you see life differently, but to be with a woman, you must act like a man. Not a little princess."

Hearing this, Xu Long finally came to his right mind. He smacks his forehead for being lost in his fantasy world thinking he is a princess and Zhao Ya'Er as his knight in shining armor.

No woman would ever want to be seen as a man.

He quickly gets up from the floor and rushes out the elevator. However, he stops in his tracks and turns to face Manager Luo with a polite bow.

"Thank you for your generous reminder. If you ever need any help in the future, I will do what I can to help."

His entire being changes back to the assistant that he is, but it was only for a quick second as he spun around and race out of Jade Condos.

Manager Luo laughs heartily at the sight of Xu Long. As the elevator door slides closed, he shakes his head with a smile.

"Seems like Spring has finally bloomed for our young Xu Long."

Outside of Jade Condos, Xu Long's head darts left and right for the familiar silhouette. It hadn't been long since Zhao Ya'Er ran out the door, so she shouldn't have gotten too far.

However, not seeing her anywhere, he felt his heart drop to his stomach.

He runs to the garage parking lot with a desperate expression to search for her. Just then, his eyes lit up and he picks up his pace.

"Miss Zhao! Wait for me!"

Like his heart had grown another pair of wings, it leaps up to the clear blue sky and dances around the bright sun.

"Miss Zhao! Please hear me out!"

By this time, Zhao Ya'Er had already calmed herself from the embarrassing situation. She told herself that there was nothing to worry about because Xu Long's inner heart is a woman like her. So it was only natural that he would want to be held in a position like a woman.

As the thought crosses her mind, she slows in her steps and furrows her brows.

Or is it Lin Hui who has the heart of a woman?

"Miss Zhao!"

Suddenly hearing someone call for her from behind, she stops and turns to face the person. Seeing that it was Xu Long, her eyebrows furrow tightly together in confusion.

"Assistant Xu?"

She watched as he runs to her then stops in front of her to catch his breath. He looked like he ran an entire marathon when they were only a little more than 20 feet away from Jade Condos' front entrance.

However, curious as to why he stopped her, she asks.

"Is something wrong? If you are troubled by what happened in the elevator, don't worry. I won't tell anyone."

Hearing her words that were like knives to his heart, he stuck a palm out to her and replies through his gasping breaths.

"Xu Long."

"Eh?"

Zhao Ya'Er turned muddled as she didn't understand why he would suddenly tell her his name. Was it necessary since she already knows?

Knowing what she was thinking, Xu Long inhales a deep breath and straightens his posture. His entire demeanor no longer looked like an assistant, nor did he look like a little princess.

An attractive smile curls on his lip, and he stood tall like the man a woman can depend on. He wants her to know that he is attracted to her and wants to get to know her better.

"Please call me Xu Long. If you don't mind, I would like to take you out for lunch."
