Kapitel 234: Rude, petty and arrogant

"Loop your arm around my neck," Nicolai said to Ariana as he bent down to scoop her up.

Seeing his posture, Ariana knew that he was going to carry her in a princess carry and hesitated, what if someone saw her and Nicolai?

Of course, Nicolai noticed her hesitation and rolled his eyes. He testily said to her, "Miss Harlow, I am not here to take advantage of you either. Unless you want to stay here and take a fresh shower in the first rain, then you are free to do so."
