Chapter 96 - Have I lost you? I dont wanna lose you. (1/2)

Jie came down from the staircase, holding the hem of her black flowy gown which was very much similar to the blue gown which Lifen had wore during the banquet. She was all dressed in princess style. Deming turned to look up at the beauty when heard the sharp clicking sound of the heels.

He didn't felt anything looking at her. She was really looking quite amazing but his eyes were not mesmerized. But for some reason, looking her in a similar type gown he remembered the mesmerizing look of Lifen and instantly his lips mumbled without him realizing, ”So beautiful”.

His words were loud enough to be heard by Jie. She blushed at his compliment, ”Thank You, Brother Ming. I just wanted to look pretty for you. Just for you”. She innocently blinked her eyes to him.

Her words snapped him out from his thoughts. He then realized that what was he doing. He was imagining Lifen in her place. How ridiculous? He wanted to reproach himself but first he wanted to clarify his words. He was about to say her that the compliment was not for her but when he saw her smiling, he let go off his thoughts to do so.

Jie immediately tugged on his arms, ”Brother Ming, you are looking handsome too. Let's go, I am excited. I remember last time, we weren't able to make it and then I had an accident. I don't want to waste another chance”. She pouted.

Deming remembered and nodded. He then lead her the way towards his car. Soon his car came to stand at the parking of a restaurant. No wonder it was one that was under the chain of restaurants owned by Wang Corporation too.

He slid off his seat belt and was about to step out of the car. He didn't looked at Jie and apparently missed the devilish hint that her eyes were glowing with.

”Ahh! Brother Ming help me. I am unable to undo the seatbelt. And my bracelet...ouch!!”, she cried in pain but her eyes said something else.

Deming halted his steps which were going to step out. He closed the door back and turned to look at her. Her bracelet got entangled with a fine thin string of the seatbelt which might have came out accidentally.

”Ohh, don't move. Let me do it for you. You might mess it more”, he said when he saw her struggling with her bracelet.

He gently held her hand to loose the string which was knotted to her bracelet. It was quite easy for him, ”It's done”, he smiled and then leaned to unfasten the seatbelt for her.

He was about unfasten it when he felt a pair of soft hand gripping his upper arms softly. His gaze moved to his arms to find it gripped by Jie's soft hands.

When he looked at her face, it was quite close to him. She has tightly closed her eyes and was inching her lips slowly and slowly closer to his. Her warm breaths were brushing his lips. He felt a little uncomfortable with her closeness.
