The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend

"I already told you that I am fine . My hand has gone numb with the constant ice compression that you are administering . I don"t think I can take anymore medical treatment tonight," saying so she leaned onto his shoulder .

Wei was startled for a second but then he patted her head in comfort and said, "I am going to be staying here tonight . So don"t worry about anything and go to bed . "

He had already decided to hire a bodyguard for her from tomorrow, irrespective of her defence skills . One could never be too careful .

"Wei, do you recognise that guy? I have never met him but…" her voice trailed as she kept thinking about it .

The next second, she got up and went to look for her laptop . Finding the video footage of the previous apartment, she played it . Pausing at the face of the guy who had broken into her house there, she turned with a triumphant smile towards Wei .

"He is the same guy who had bribed the manager of the previous building . But how did he gain entry here? How could he gather any of our fingerprints to access the main door downstairs?" she asked him .

"The police is enquiring in the building and will also be looking at the footage from earlier . We will figure it out . Stop stressing for now and go to bed," he told her .

"I am too wired to sleep right now . Though the adrenaline has stopped making my heart gallop at a crazy speed, my head is too busy trying to connect the dots . Of course I know that Zhu Cheng is behind this act but the problem remains the same as last time . How do I prove it?" she said with a frown .

Wei looked at the crease line which was had formed between her eyebrows . He raised his finger to smoothen it out .

"Don"t think about it now . I promise we will figure it out in the morning," he told her softly .

Sam"s eyes couldn"t stop drinking in the gentleness of his expressions . Without pausing to think, she gave into her instinct and leaned in to kiss him lightly on his lips .

Wei"s sharp intake of breath made her hesitate . Her lips hovered near his for a nanosecond but before she could withdraw from there, he closed that distance . Absorbing her mouth completely in his own, his hand crept up behind her head . Tilting her head to get a better access to her mouth, his fingers found the short, wicked hair at her nape and curled into them .

Both of them were breathless by the time they broke apart . Wei was aghast at himself .

"What am I doing? I had only intended to kiss her as a gesture of comfort but I lost control . She… I… can"t do it . Staying the night here is a dangerous idea," his head chastised him .

He made a move to stand up but she held onto the lapel of his jacket .

"That night… you told me not to go . Can I ask you to return that favour today?" her eyes looked at him with a strangely hypnotic expression .

He couldn"t tear his gaze off from hers . Till date, they hadn"t spoken about what transpired in London, neither directly nor otherwise . Then why did she bring that up now? The air had become heavy with antic.i.p.ation, as if deciding whether to turn hot or cold .

Wei"s head tried to come up with reasons as to why he shouldn"t take advantage of a girl who had just experienced trauma . But his body couldn"t give a flying f*** about any of those .

"I… are you sure that this is not a reaction to what happened this evening? I don"t want you to regret your actions tomorrow morning," he told her, trying to give her a way out .

Sam raised her hand and moved it along his cheek, and then his jawline, enjoying the abrasive stubble against the smoothness of her palm .

"As long as you don"t get up in the morning and claim that I have taken advantage of you or ask for my age proof again, I won"t regret anything else," she replied in a whisper .

Wei closed his eyes . Her eyes were going to make him lose control sooner than either of them would like . Without giving a thought to what the next morning would bring, he took her palm and brought it to his lips . Digging his teeth in the inner flesh of her hand, he smiled when surprise flitted across his face .

He had zero recollection of the last time except for a few hazy images in his head . So if they were going to do this tonight, he wanted it to be memorable for him and her both .
