Chapter 73 - Inscurity (2/2)

But Yu Huiyin had already realized his actions. She was blushing scarlet red; her face was so hot that she knew that even her ears had turned red, but she did not say anything against it.

The two of them were reveling in the warmth of their embrace for some time before Yu Huiyin finally looked up at Xie Jingyu.

Xie Jingyu felt nervous. Was she going to scold him now? But instead, he felt a very soft touch on his chin, and when he looked down, he saw that Yu Huiyin had kissed him lightly. It felt like butterfly wings were fluttering above the skin, so soft and exquisite that he could not control his heart from beating rapidly.

Yu Huiyin had planned many things prior to this or the sake of getting him to admit his feelings for her, but now that she knew her own emotions, she could no longer do it. It was too cold.

Instead, she asked, with a slightly hoarse and whimpering voice, ”Jingyu, do you like me?”

Her voice made Xie Jingyu's legs turn soft, and he answered without really thinking about his words, ”I love you.”

It was not before the words had escaped his lips that Xie Jingyu wanted to take them back, but they were already out there. He expected that Yu Huiyin would retract from his embrace, but instead, she just tightened her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest once more.

Her reaction was puzzling him. ”My dear wife, do you like me?” He suddenly asked in shock. Could it be that his dreams proved to be true? Could it be that after a few weeks with him, she had also started falling for him?

He was ecstatic, his heart beating fast, and Yu Huiyin, who had her head pressed against his chest, could feel and hear the rapid heartbeat.

”I do,” she answered with a timid voice, and Xie Jingyu felt as if his mind exploded. She said she liked him! Oh, what a brilliant day this was!

The arms that were around Yu Huiyin tightened, she was pressed so close to his body that she could barely move.

”My wife,” Xie Jingyu whispered into her ear, making Yu Huiyin tremble. Her ears were sensitive, and when his hot breath hit them, she trembled uncontrollably in his arms.

Xie Jingyu, who had been unable to understand her previous behavior, instantly knew what had been going on. Her background was of no secret to him; he knew that she had been feeling insecure.

While she was insecure, he was alone in the office with a beautiful woman, so she had gotten hurt.
