71 Party Starting (2/2)

”The Chief Warden visited today when you were sleeping and I asked him to bring the lawyer here to the apartment instead, which he reluctantly accepted.” Wuxing explained as he started eating his breakfast too before asking with a kind smile, ”You don't mind that?”

”Oh, no, I don't. I will just get ready before he comes. I'm still in my nightgown after all.” Dongmei shook her head as she finished chewing, not minding the lawyer coming at all, actually happy she would be able to listen to that and asked to be sure, ”How much time till he comes?”

Hearing this question Wuxing ate a big chunk of his double omelette and replied with a smile, ”In the noon. Can you get ready in five minutes?”

Dongmei who was drinking water after asking her question spat out all of it, almost choking, as she cried out, ”Pffft! Five minutes!? How do you expect me to get ready in five minutes??? I need to finish eating, choose clothes, take a bath as I'm sweaty after the night, wash my hair, apply conditioner and everything else. Wuxing, why didn't you tell me earlier?!”

Wuxing only smiled and put another bite into his mouth, answering calmly while trying to soothe her with his compliments, ”Well, I'm telling you now. You better hurry so they don't catch you like that. I don't want anyone to see my beautiful angel's body.”

”Your compliments won't help you! You will see. I will kick your butt after the lawyer leaves.” Dongmei glared at Wuxing, warning him with the finger before deciding to leave to get ready quickly but Wuxing caught her hand, placing her back on her seat and ordered sternly, ”Finish eating. I didn't cook so it can go to waste.”

Seeing his smile gone, Dongmei stopped revolting and finished the breakfast first, shovelling the food to eat faster but then she noticed Wuxing's glare, making her stop, eating normally instead. Only then did she receive a gentle pat on their head which made her calm down a bit.

”I only need to sign some papers with the lawyer so you are not going to lose much. Don't worry. You can take your shower in peace.” Wuxing explained, knowing that she was still thinking about it to which she only nodded, planning on joining them anyway.

When they finally finished, it was already noon. Showing Wuxing the empty plate, Dongmei wiped her lips with a napkin and stood up, kissing Wuxing on the cheek, saying calmly, ”Thank you for the meal. Can I get ready now?” She still planned to give him the punishment for telling her so late but now she behaved nicely to not waste any more time.

Wuxing also stood and agreed as he rubbed her cheek tenderly, ”Mhmm, go get ready. Chief Warden should be coming soon.” As Dongmei looked at his eyes, she noticed that there was something different about them today. Wuxing was looking at her more intensively as if he tried to save something into his memory for later.

She decided to ask about if after a shower and ran towards the closet first. Wuxing could only sigh, knowing it was finally time. He took the dishes back to the kitchen, cleaning them before pulling out his Beretta, testing it all just to make sure he was ready.

Knock, knock.

”Ah! They are here! Don't let them in! I still didn't pick the dress!” Hearing the knock, Dongmei shouted from the closet and Wuxing finally hid the pistol, walking towards her.

”Take the black one. You will look sexy in it.” Wuxing leaned over the doorframe and helped her choose. She was wearing it for Wuxing anyway so she always trusted his choice, picking it without hesitation.

”Alright, I have everything. I will take a shower and get dressed in the bathroom.” Checking if she has everything, Dongmei gave Wuxing a peck and rushed out of the closet.

She didn't expect that Wuxing would suddenly pull her into his arms and cover her lips strongly, kissing them deeply. Even when the knocking was over, he didn't stop kissing her until about twenty seconds later.

As their lips separated, Dongmei blinked confused at him. Wuxing was acting really weirdly today as if he wanted to eat her but couldn't, so she asked, not bothered then the knocking anymore, ”...What was that for?”

Wuxing leaned over once again but this time he kissed her forehead and said with the gentlest smile she saw so far from him, ”I love you. Hope you can remember it with this kiss.”

Hearing his confession, Dongmei got goosebumps, realising Wuxing really meant it. She didn't spot any lie in his words which made her really warm in the chest. She dropped her clothes to the ground and wrapped her arms around Wuxing's neck and kissed him back, replying with watering eyes, ”Me too… I love you…” Dongmei was really happy, finally able to find someone she could say she loved.

Knock, knock!

Another pair of knocking echoed in the apartment, this time a bit louder, maybe thinking that they didn't hear it.

Wuxing finally let go of her and picked up her clothes from the ground, pushing her towards the bathroom, ”Go shower. We will see each other after some time.” He didn't forget to wipe her tears of happiness away which only made her laugh softly.

Before she would begin crying, she nodded at him as she also wiped her eyes with her arm and ran up to the bathroom, wanting to get it over with fast so they could spend more time together.

His gaze followed her body and saw the doors closing which made him let out a happy sigh. Wuxing didn't expect to say those three words so soon while genuinely meaning what he said. The time he spent here was short, but he really liked her. She had great qualities and personality which worked best with his. Wuxing would be dumb if he didn't catch her when he had the chance.

Walking towards the doors, Wuxing fixed the double Berettas under his shirts as well as checking the ammo strips and finally opened the doors, happy that he could return to the action so soon, 'I guess its time to get the party started.'
