Chapter 24 - Beautiful rainy day
Today was Xingyue's hard-working day as she needed to finish all her pending reports.
She sat on her seat all day working, so much so that she didn't even go to lunch. Her eyes were just fixed on the computer screen, and her mind wanted to finish all the work.On the other hand, Xi Song was resting at home today.In fact, he was preparing dinner for Xingyue. He had that lovesick fool smile on his face all day. As if he was satisfied with this wedding.After a hard day's work, he finally prepared Xingyue's favorite food.
Putting dishes on the table, he was waiting for Xingyue, but there was no news of her.Time passed, and when it turned into such a dark night, no one knew.When Xi Song looked out of the window while waiting, he became terrified. As there was heavy rain outside, Xing was still outside.Taking his phone, he called Xia Na.
Xi Song: Hey, do you know where Xingyue
Chapter 25 - Is it love?An exhausted sigh escaped her lips when someone wrapped the hands around her waist and lifted her up.Completely unknown, her cheeks turned red when someone said in a husky voice, sending shivers down to her spine."Get it now."Gulping down her saliva, she responded. "Uh? Okay."Extending her hands, she grabbed the container as Xi Song put her down.Smiling as she turned back to look at him, their eyes got fixed on each other.His dark brown eyes were clear as if she could see herself in them. Their bodies were also close enough that their breaths had mixed with each other. It was not known for a moment whether it was really an arranged marriage or love?Her heart was beating fast. That unusual feeling was taking over her. Her lips were trembling as if they wanted to say something. But what?Choking in the air, he moved back as she gazed down, trying to process everything.
Chapter 26 - Ling Xiao’s birthday partySitting at her desk once again, Xing was trying to focus on work when her phone buzzed. "Beep-beep!"Shifting her gaze, she ran her hands through her hair. "Why doesn't the world let me focus on the work?"Extending her hand, she took the phone but frowned when she noticed the person's name who called her. In a moment, her anger calmed down as she mumbled his name. "Xi Song?"Swiping it right, she picked the call.Xingyue: Hello, Xi Song?Xi Song: Xingyue, are you free tonight?Xingyue: Yes, why?Xi Song: Ling Xiao wants to invite you to his birthday party. I can't refuse him.A smile appeared on her lips as she thought of spending more time with him.Xingyue: Sure. I'm up for the party.Xi Song: Really? Well, then can you help me with something?Xingyue: What is it?.........................................
Chapter 27 - Euphoria of romanceBoth were enjoying cocktails, standing near the bar area when Xing's eyes fell on those dancing couples.Seeing them enjoying themselves on the dance floor like this, aroused a desire in her heart too.Her eyes had become softened seeing them, that's when Xi Song noticed her.Following her gaze, he also looked towards the dance floor.Amazed, he leaned and whispered closer to her ears. "Do you want to dance?"Being confused, she shifted her gaze to him as he winked at her while grabbing her hand. "What are you doing?"Placing a finger on her lips, he shushed her. "Shh! Don't say anything. Follow me."A smirk formed on his lips as he dragged her to the dance floor."What exactly are we going to do, Xi Song?"Not answering her questions, he suddenly pulled Xingyue towards himself.In a blink, she bumped on his chest while he quietly followed the rhythm of the
Chapter28 - Her confessionThe depths of the past seemed to be coming back.Holding back the tears in his eyes, he said with a trembled chin. "Chen Ting?"There was a smile on her face that used to comfort Xi Song in the past."So, it's really you, Xi Song.""Why do you come back?"Hearing this, she could not hold back her tears.Taking a step further, she came closer to him. "I can explain, Xi Song. I wanted to come back, but I was stuck there. My phone got damaged, and I lost your contact number."She held his hand while placing them near her chest. "Listen to those heartbeats. I still love you, Xi Song. Can we have a chance again? This time, I'll not leave you."................................................After attending a call, when Xingyue returned to the hall, she was troubled by not seeing Xi Song."Where did he go?"Walking around, she tried to
Chapter 29 - Our official first kissWhen a ray of sun fell on her face, shining through the window, she slowly opened her eyes.Yesterday after drinking so much, the intoxication was still on her. As her head was aching.Holding her head with one hand, she pushed the blanket aside and glanced outside the window.On a pleasant morning, where the chirping of birds was heard like a melodious song, she felt happy from inside.Stretching her hands in the air, she welcomed a new day when a sound reached her ears from the kitchen.Clueless, she peeked outside, only to see Xi Song cooking for them.There was a smile on her lips that soon faded away when she recalled some moments from last night.*Flashback*With tiny curved lips, he replied. "Xingyue, I--"Cutting his words off, she pressed her lips against him as he remained there, shocked.She was enjoying the taste of his lips wh
Chapter 30 - When he couldn't wait to meet herWaving her hands in the air, playfully walking when Xingyue reached inside the office. All eyes were on her.There was an unusual smile on her face that glittered the entire office area.Holding a cup in her hand, Xia Na took her eyes off the computer when Xing came to her and gave her a tight hug."Xia Na, my darling, cheery morning."Clueless about her behavior, she just grinned. "Aya! Is today the sunrise from the west? How come our Xing is so happy? Did you get a divorce?"The smile she carried around faded in a moment when she mentioned divorce.Her lips turned downturned as she walked away, leaving her dumbfounded. "Did I say something wrong?"............................................Reading some reports in his cabin, Xi Song seemed lost in daydreaming. The scene from last night was not leaving him alone, even for a minute.
Chapter 31 - An unexpected dateAfter passing a slight smile, Xi Song opened the door and lifted his hand. "First you."Finally, seeing him after so many hours, Xingyue couldn't control her smile. She took steps forward and walked inside. While Xi Song locked the door again.But as he turned forward, Xingyue threw herself at him. Her hands locked together around Xi Song while her head rested on his chest, peacefully hearing his heartbeats."I missed you a lot, Xi Song."A tiny smile spread all over his face as he caressed her head, wrapping his hands around her waist. "I missed you too, Xingyue."..........................................In the blazing sunlight of the morning, all seemed relaxed. Today, everyone was enjoying Sunday. A break from their tiring working life.To enjoy this beautiful day, Xia Na went to her favorite bakery.As usual, a lady bowed at her. "Good day, Ma'am. What would yo
Chapter32 - When I'm with youWhile walking, when they reached her home, they were totally unknown. It seemed that both wanted to spend some more time together. However, why was it so?With a tight-lipped smile on her face, she stopped in front of the main door."Umm... Well, then see you next time.""Oh? Yeah, okay. Goodnight.""Goodnight."She stepped ahead and walked inside. While he remained there, silent. Puzzled about his feelings.As soon as she started closing the door, he put his hand in between and stopped her. Mustered up a little courage, and he came in.Stepping back, she looked at him when he leaned forward."I don't want to leave regrets in life, Xia Na... I love you. Be my girlfriend."Without letting her utter a word, he pressed his lips against hers.She could feel his sincerity. Thus, she closed her eyes and kissed him back.Their lips were melting,
