Chapter 222 - Was that their parting kiss? (2/2)

Feeling the agonising pain in his wrist, Gao Ren straightened himself to leave but not before giving his warning words to them, ”Mark my words, she will be mine today or later. It's all decided and you have no idea about it”.

His words was like the claims of mad person to Deming's ears but Lifen felt a little weird hearing his firm words. She was in her thoughts trying get the better through his weird words when she felt herself being pulled to some direction.

When snapped back go her present, she was already brought to a secluded place inside the banquet hall. When she looked around, she found she was actually brought to the balcony at the back of the hall.

She looked at Deming who was now dangerously close to her with his warm breath near her face. Their eyes met and everything seems to get lost around her.

Only their hard beating heartbeats could be heard in the pitch black silence of the night.

The only thing they get at this moment was staring deep into each other's eyes and sought every answer they want from each other.

After God knows how much time, his cold geartbroken voice tore through the silence to reach her ears.

”Do you think me that unreliable, Little Cat?”, he asked solemnly. His eyes were boring deep into hers, sending sharp electrifying currents down to her heart.

”...”, before she could find words to answer his first question, another question popped out.

”Have I really lost my chance to be with you? Won't you believe me even for a minimal percentage?”, he questioned as his eyes showed the pain he was suffering in his heart. The fear of losing her.

He maintained his deep gaze on her face intensifying it with every passing moment.

Lifen bit her lips in order to control the fluttering ripples his gaze was making in her heart, ”I...”

Again before she could speak her words, Deming said more persuading tone, ”Little Cat, believe me, I was just there to help Jie. There was nothing like what she presented. Please consider it...”

She couldn't take the pain in his eyes any longer. It was peircing her heart equally. Before Deming could finish his words, he was taken by the bold move Lifen played on him.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and tugged him a little downward at the same time, tip-toed a little to match his height.

She brushed her lips lightly against his jaw line giving a very light touch. Her action left Deming astounded.

But before he could register what happened with him, the heavenly touch left his skin. He looked down at the woman who was still staring deep into his eyes.

He was about to ask her what was that about? Was that their parting kiss? The only thought pierced his heart like a sharp pointed dagger.

But right at this moment he felt her lips moving again, as she mumbled, ”I love you!”.

The words were so light that he almost took it mistakenly as an illusion. But Lifen's next actions sealed it to be true.
