Lu Wei and Zhi Xi prepared the dinner for the girl and left the penthouse shortly after. Although she wanted to spend more time with her brothers , Rong Xinghe very well understood that they had a pretty exhausting day and that they needed a proper rest. Just what was wrong with the men in her life ?! Why were they all obsessed with long business meetings ? First , Xi Yuan , and now these two men. The girl rolled her eyes and strode towards the washroom to take a relaxing shower after the day she had. She had been busy training the sharpshooters of the armed forces all day. She was literally standing under the sun throughout the entire day , without even consuming a single bite of bread. Yet , she wished to wait for her darling. Because she knew that he hadn"t had anything for the whole day as well. She , after all , had her informers planted there.
______________
12:30 a.m.
Xi Yuan reached the girl"s place and entered the living room as he lied down on the couch , relaxing his aching back. At this time , he heard some noices coming from the kitchen. It seemed like a "certain someone" was searching for something , and that too , in the dark. How smart ! The man pinched the s.p.a.ce between his brows as he let out a helpless sigh.
"What did I told you about "not stepping into the kitchen" , in my or your brothers" absence , Xinghe ? Come out right now !", the man raised his voice , so that the little lady devil could hear him.
"Oh ! You are home ?", the girl screamed excitedly, as she jumped out of the kitchen and walked into the living room , completely fergetting about what she was wearing. As soon as Xi Yuan saw the dark blue bathrobe wrapped around his woman"s fair and slightly pinkish skin , he couldn"t help but stare at her wide-eyed.
The girl had washed her hair and wasn"t wearing any make up , yet she could put all the actresses and models out there , to shame. She was... simply beautiful. Gorgeous and alluring. The way she smiled , as she saw him made his heart flutter with soothe as well as excitement. Just what was this woman doing to him ? The way those little drops of water dripped down her hair locks and travelled across her cheeks , neck and chest , made Xi Yuan feel as if something inside him was on fire.
As she noticed the man"s intense gaze upon her , Rong Xinghe finally came to the realization. The girl quickly crossed her arms and squeezed her eyes shut. What the h.e.l.l was she thinking when she walked out like that ?! The girl cursed herself silently for few seconds before she turned around to run towards her bedroom to change her clothes. But wasn"t it too late to do that ?
Before the girl could even leave the living room , a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her against a firm and strong chest. Rong Xinghe was so shocked that she didn"t dared to make a single movement. Her back was facing the man"s front , such that she could clearly sense his warm breath touching the nape of her neck. Next second , a soft yet sensual kiss was placed on the girl"s neck , just below her right ear.
After few seconds of silence , Xi Yuan"s deep magnetizing sound resonated throughout the silent living room ,"What kind of dinner have you panned for me , Sweetheart ?"
The girl tried her best to form words , but her voice betrayed her. It just couldn"t come out. The black mole on her right earlobe had always been her sensitive spot and this man knew it very well. As a result , he was deliberately nibbing onto it , making her completely helpless.
"I... umm... I wi.. will go change.", the girl finally said , gathering all her strength. His every touch was sending electric sensations down her spine. This man was making her go numb , dazed as if she was drugged. She couldn"t move , or even breathe. What the h.e.l.l was happening to her ?!
Although Xi Yuan had listened to the girl"s words clearly , he decided to pretend otherwise. The man turned the girl around and made her face him , their lips inches apart. The man didn"t wasted anymore time and erased the distance between them , pressing his pa.s.sion against her lips. The kiss wasn"t rough , but intense. Initially , the girl was taken aback by the man"s actions but she ended up giving in soon. Both the man and the woman had lost their ability to think rationally at this point of time. For them , they were the only two people alive in this world , breathing , moving and kissing.
Xi Yuan"s hands started roaming across the girl"s body , over the bathrobe , akin to a paint brush against the canvas. His strong hand started stroking her back , her waist , her hands and her hair , gently , as if she was made of gla.s.s , too fragile and delicate.
After standing like that for roughly twenty minutes , Xi Yuan bent down and lifted the girl up into his arms and placed her upon the couch carefully , making her comfortable. But the man didn"t touched the girl after that. Instead , he simply looked into her eyes and smiled. His gaze looked like he had seen some magic , an angel.
"You are the best thing that has ever happened to me , Xinghe.", the man smiled , pecking the girl onto her lips ,"I love you more than my life. Never forget that. Never."
"I won"t.", the girl smiled back ,"And I love you too ! But I... can"t..."
"I know what you want to say.", said Xi Yuan , as he placed his index against the girl"s cherry red lips.
Xi Yuan took a deep breath and sat down on the edge of the couch. He then adjusted the girl"s bathrobe and tightened its belt , which had loosened due to his intense actions , not too long ago. After that , the man covered the girl"s bare shoulders with his suit and planted a soft kiss against her forehead. He also wrapped the girl"s cold feet with his scarf tenderly , so that she wouldn"t catch cold.
"You are not mentally prepared for this yet , Xinghe. I understand that. And I won"t cross my limits without your consent. Your comfort and will can never be overpowered by my momentary pleasures and my desires. Don"t worry. This is a big step but not the only step in a relations.h.i.+p. I will always love you and I aim to promise you a relations.h.i.+p , laced and adorned with trust , respect and liberty , not l.u.s.t. Take your time , love."
