Chapter 9 - "Eat some Congee" (1/2)

Seeing Yu Huiyin be so upset with him, Xie Jingyu could not help but touch his nose embarrassedly. He had indeed tricked her, and he had gone slightly over the top with this.

But usually, he disliked women being close to him, however this one he was curious about, and she was able to make his emotions go on a rollercoaster ride from merely frowning, smiling, or thinking.

To get what he wanted, Xie Jingyu was used to doing anything in his power, not caring if he needed to use underhanded means.

This woman was indeed someone he wanted. From he had seen her first time lying on the ground in a pool of blood, even until now where she was ignoring him, he could not help but feel that she was special.

Since she was unique to him, he had to capture her heart. The best way was to make her stay by his side, and he could think of no other ways than to marry her.

Usually, he would have been against marriage, his grandfather had done all in his power to convince him to get married, but to no avail, however, now he had taken the initiative. He was even feeling excited and eager to marry her.

Yu Huiyin could feel that this Xie Jingyu kept staring at her, his eyes were like a blazing flame against her back, and she trembled slightly.

The sun began brightening up the sky outside; the long and exhausting night was coming to an end.

This night was nothing like what Yu Huiyin had initially planned. She had wanted to go home after work and sleep. Now she was engaged to a tycoon of unknown background.

At least her family had been informed that she was okay, and they could rest without worrying for her, but Yu Huiyin could not help but worry about her own situation.

Frowning, she felt exhaustion wash over her, and she slowly succ.u.mbed to the darkness, her eyelids so heavy that she could not keep them open.

Although Yu Huiyin had her back facing Xie Jingyu, he had been aware of her actions. When he heard her steady breathing, he knew that she was asleep.

She had not slept much that night, and she needed a lot of rest to get better, so sleeping was an excellent thing for her.

He rose to his feet and walked to her side, his hand reaching out and brushing aside a bit of hair that was cascading down, hiding her face in the shadows.

”We have a long time ahead of us,” he muttered to himself as he felt her soft skin on his fingertips. It was smooth and comfortable; it was indeed an addictive feeling to touch her.
