Chapter 889 - Be More Confident of Yourself (2/2)

She heard that Lu Zihao also had quite a serious accident before that left him in coma and even paralyzed for some time. Perhaps these eerily similar experiences contributed to why Lu Zihao and her sister Xiulan became so close and treated each other like close siblings. They could relate to each other's first-hand experiences on a deeper level.

Realizing her misunderstanding, she felt ashamed of herself. He was right. She was indeed such a hassle to deal with.

”I'm so pathetic,” she muttered.

”I dare you to say that again!”

She looked up at him, startled and confused at his furious voice.

”Nobody is allowed to disparage my woman, not even herself. Why the hell do you think so low of yourself? Your lack of self-esteem is unacceptable!”

Her face and neck heated up but something warm and sweet filled her chest. She blinked at him a few times, letting his words sink in.

”Look at you. You're young and beautiful. You just graduated from school but you're already a Chief Financial Officer of a new but successful company. You're not lacking in money because you have the ability to earn it yourself. You're in a position that the majority of young women your age would envy. So why the f.u.c.k do you always belittle yourself? I don't f.u.c.k.i.n.g understand!”

She bit her lower lip to control herself from smiling. Despite his harsh and scolding tone, the words he said sounded sweet to her ears. He already got her when he said that she was young and beautiful.

”Be more confident of yourself, woman,” he said in a gruff voice.

She nodded, finally smiling.

”And don't always say sorry when you've done nothing wrong. My woman shouldn't apologize so easily.”

Her eyes widened. It looked like she was realizing something for the first time. ”I've always…been like this. It's not a big deal, really.”

”It is to me.” He grabbed her chin between his fingers and lifted her head so that they looked eye to eye. ”Sorry is just a word but it is a very powerful one. Don't just throw it around like free candies to everyone.”

”Oh.”

”Understand?”

”Y-yes, Nikolai.”

”Good.”

Then he dipped his head and smashed his lips against her slightly open mouth. His tongue immediately entered inside, causing her to block out their surroundings and feel only his kiss. She m.o.a.ned, wanting to hold him, but couldn't because of the blanket.

When he ended the kiss, she actually made a whining sound. Her face turned even redder upon realizing it. So embarrassing!
