Hearing Xie Ming"s words, the atmosphere around him suddenly became chilly and distant.
His jaw tightened and his palms turned into fists.
He was trying to hide his displeasure as he does not want her to be scared of him but her question bothered him.
" Does she think of me that way? Is she think that I am cheap and only wants to sleep with her." he misunderstood her words and that angered him.
He couldn"t believe that she could think of him in this way.
Xie Ming looked at him and noticed the change in his att.i.tude and expressions.
She looked into his distant eyes and realized that she said something wrong.
Because she asked him this question as Zhao Ming but he has no idea about it. So it"s natural for him to misinterpret her words.
Xie Ming felt slightly scared when she saw his angry and cold expressions.
This expression was the same when she met him for the first time in the hospital when he asked her for the divorce.
At that time she didn"t bother with his behavior as he was no one for her. But now, she realized that she... likes him.
Don"t know if it is love or not but she definitely couldn"t imagine to apart with him. And if she were to stay in this world, it would not be bad to spend her life with him.
She couldn"t imagine her life without him.
Xie Ming looked at him with her gentle and innocent eyes, and before he could say anything, she raised her hands and held his face in her hands, while going on tiptoes.
She raised her head and kissed him on his lips.
The kiss was not hurried but slow and gentle.
Liwei was stunned with her sudden kiss. He was angry at her for asking him such a question but the next moment she went on her tiptoes to kiss him?
He couldn"t understand what goes on her head.
But seeing her baby like an innocent face from so close, he forgot his anger and let her do what she was doing.
He enjoys whenever she takes initiative.
Xie Ming parted with his lips and looked into his eyes and said, " I am sorry. I shouldn"t have asked you this question. It"s just... I am still not able to believe that you like me. It"s all feel like a dream."
" I have faced many betrayals in my life, I don"t want another one and especially from you. Because if that happens then I don"t know if I could get over with it for my whole life or not," she said as a tear made it"s way to her cheeks.
Her voice became heavy. She doesn"t want to cry especially at this moment but she suddenly remembered all the painful memories and her father"s bloodied body and his helpless face when she met him for the last time.
At that time she realized that she has done the biggest mistake of her life. If she didn"t marry into the palace, her life would be something else.
She might go to other villages with her father to treat patients and could even achieve heights in medicine like her father and her name will also be recorded in the history.
But life has chosen something different for her.
Liwei was startled with the sudden change in the atmosphere. He didn"t expect her to become so emotional at this moment.
He looked at her and held her tiny face in his large hands and looked into her eyes and said, " Xie Ming. If I wanted to betray you, then I would not have been married to you. If I married you then I will fulfill my duties as a husband and will always remain loyal to you for my whole life."
" This I promised you when we got married. At that time I don"t even love you. But still I promised something big to you, so what do you think that I will do when I love you so much now? Hm? "
He asked her as he raised his eyebrows.
He doesn"t know why she was so scared and why she doesn"t feel secure with him. But he realized that he needs to make her relax and give her time to feel the sincerity in his words and actions.
Xie Ming"s insecurity dissipated with his words. Tears welled up in her eyes.
She didn"t cry this time, she rubbed her eyes to not cry and then looked up at him with a smile on her face and said, " I believe you. I trust you that you will not betray me like others."
Liwei looked at her when she rubbed her eyes to not cry. He smiled helplessly.
" This girl is really unique."
He looked at her with a smile and rubbed her hair, " Good girl."
With that said, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. The kiss was gentle but full of love.
This kiss wasn"t hurried but a.s.suring.
She also wrapped her arms around his neck to keep her balance.
He nibbled on her lips, but suddenly bite on it.
She cried out in pain, " Ah."
She glared at him when she heard him say, " Mrs. Jin don"t be so naughty. If you can"t bear the consequences to seduce me then don"t do it. Otherwise, I won"t be able to control myself." he scolded her with his hoa.r.s.e voice.
She blinked at him innocently. "In what way did I seduced him?
When they were kissing, he felt her caressing his bareback with her cold hands. He s.h.i.+vered at her actions.
And the next moment she transferred all her weight on him and her soft body was touching his bare body covered only with a towel.
This act of intimacy ignited the sparks in his body. He would have lost his control if she continued her " innocent act" for another minute.
So he had to bite her on the lips to scold her.
" This girl is temptress without even trying. If she ever tried to seduce me, then don"t know what would happen?"
Xie Ming who has no idea about what happened was embarra.s.sed because of his provocative words.
She realizes that he was not wearing anything other than a towel, her face turned crimson red.
She hurriedly turned her back towards him and touched her burning face with her palms to cool them down.
Liwei chuckled seeing her shy behavior.
Xie Ming hurriedly finds a navy blue formal suit for him. She realized when she went through his closet that he only has suits and that too in black, blue and grey color only.
He doesn"t have other colors in his closet nor formal clothes. He only has two pairs of T-s.h.i.+rts and pajama. That"s it.
" How could the richest man in the city have such a shortage of casual clothes?"
She sighed.
" I need to go shopping for him. Otherwise who else will pamper him, if not me?"
She pa.s.sed the suit to him and said, " You get ready, I am going to my room to get ready." she hurriedly walked off as she completed her words.
She didn"t even wait for his reply.
She literally ran off from the room.
He chuckled seeing her running off like this.
" She is really hard to understand," he mumbles in his breath as he looked at the suit in his hands.
