The Hidden Gold Mine Heiress Divorcee novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290 Five Years Ago 6 

Boris was mortified to the point of wanting to die. 

Despite his youth and vigor, he was not a man who valued desire. 

It was the first time Boris had this kind of dream, and he never expected to be caught by the person of his fantasies. He felt utterly embarrassed. 

Boris kept his jaw clenched and remained silent for a long time, his face darkened. However, Ziana mistook his reaction as a sign of physical discomfort. 

Ziana, with a worried expression on her face, reached out to touch Boris’ forehead. 

To Ziana’s surprise, the moment she touched Boris, he grabbed her hand tightly. 

Caught off guard, Ziana fell towards him. 

She fell into Boris’ arms, and he held her tightly. 

The scent of a light medicinal fragrance emanated from Boris’ body, and it swirled 

around Ziana’s nose. 

Ziana had never been so close to anyone, especially a man! 

Realizing this, Ziana struggled to get up but forgot that Boris was still holding her wrist, causing her to fall back heavily into his embrace. 

This time, Ziana’s head hit Boris’ chin hard, and both of them groaned simultaneously. 

Ziana pouted and complained, “What are you doing?” 

After hearing Ziana’s sweet and charming voice, Boris disregarded the pain in his chin. and quickly held her face with concern, his brows furrowing. “You’re turning reddish 

here.”

“It’s your fault.” Ziana grumbled unhappily. “Your beard even scratched me.” 

Boris rubbed her hand with his palm and asked, “Does it hurt a lot?” 

Ziana muttered, “I just wanted to feel your forehead to see if you were okay. Why did you react like that?” 

Boris pursed his lips. 

Boris was indeed in pain, but not from the shortness of breath. However, he wouldn’t tell Ziana about it. 

“I’m fine, just had a nightmare that scared me,” he replied coldly. 

Ziana suddenly realized and asked with concern, “What kind of nightmare did you 

have?” 

“I forgot.” Boris didn’t want to continue this topic and looked at her. “Can you get up 

now?” 

At such close range, the breath that Boris exhaled sprayed onto her skin. Ziana’s attention was completely captured by his lips. 

Ziana thought Boris had beautiful lips. They were round and plump, with a soft curve. She even thought they would be just as soft if she kissed them. 

This sudden thought frightened Ziana. 

She couldn’t believe she had such absurd thoughts! 

In an instant, Ziana’s face turned bright red, and even her body felt like it was burning 

Ziana hastily pushed Boris away and even took two steps back, creating distance. 

between them. 

Her heart was racing, sounding very nervous and shy, as if she had done something 

wrong. 

“I… I have to go to class, so I’ll see you later when I have free time!” 

With those words, she ran away as if escaping from Boris. 

Boris looked in the direction she was leaving with mixed emotions. 

On the one hand, he was relieved because he was currently in a mess and didn’t want to be seen by her, let alone explain anything if she were to ask. 

On the other hand, Boris couldn’t help but wonder why Ziana had come so early today. She usually didn’t come during the early day, so he wondered if something was wrong. 

But Ziana had already left, so he could only wait until she came again later in the 

evening to ask her. 

Ziana ran out of the room with her head down, and continued running downstairs without stopping, taking deep breaths. 

Gigi was waiting for her downstairs and greeted her as soon as she saw Ziana. “Ziana! Are you finished? The teacher will be here soon. Hurry up!” 

Ziana had suddenly said she had something to tell Boris this morning and insisted on coming before class. 

Gigi couldn’t argue with her and had to come along. 

Ziana nodded absentmindedly. “Yeah, let’s go.” 

“Why is your face so red?” Gigi looked at her suspiciously. “Did something happen up 

there?” 

“Nothing happened!” Ziana quickly shook her head and waved her hands three times, unequivocally denying anything suspicious. 

Gigi raised an eyebrow. Although she guessed what happened, she didn’t say anything and casually remarked, “Let’s go to class!” 

As a result, during today’s economics class, Ziana frequently drifted off, looking 

absent-minded and unfocused. 

Not only did Gigi notice, but even the professor noticed. 

It was the first time Gigi had seen Ziana so distracted in class. She was very surprised by 

this behavior. 

“Something’s not right with you.” After class, Gigi came over to examine Ziana closely. “Tell me honestly. What’s making you so unfocused?” 

Ziana was truly distressed, as she had never experienced this feeling before. But Gigi was her best friend, so she couldn’t help but tell her everything. 

Ziana told her from Ziana’s desire to see Boris last night to the intimate encounter they had this morning. 

“I just suddenly realized how handsome Boris is… And then my heart would beat uncontrollably.” 

Ziana said, blushing once again. 

Gigi’s mouth twitched, and she responded, “Uh oh, you’ve fallen in love.” 

“What?” Ziana grew even more embarrassed and shy. 

Gigi chose a more colloquial expression and said, “It means you like him.” 

Ziana’s watery eyes looked at her. Despite already being pretty, her coy appearance made Gigi’s heart skip a beat. 

Gigi continued her analysis. “Do you think he’s particularly handsome?” 

“He’s already handsome. Even with one eye, he’s still handsome.”
