Chapter 67 - A Stolen Kiss (2/2)

Putting the sketchbook on her slightly elevated knees, she started sketching out the mechanism behind the pendant she designed back in Shanghai.

Since the living room was nearer to the bedroom and the door was also not soundproof was not soundproof, she could hear the tapping sounds of the keyboard.

”What a workaholic…” She mumbled to herself.

He just came back from a business trip and was already busy with work again.

It's still better than being penniless like me, she thought to herself. It was not like she did not work hard enough, just the transmigration think was not included in her plans.

Had she known it, she had made some money for herself in Beijing beforehand.

It was past midnight when Jun Zixuan closed his laptop and picked up the coffee mug from the table.

Taking the last sip of it, he placed it back on the table and stood up from the couch before stretching his body. His black shirt got tugged upwards in the process, revealing his prominent V line.

He raked his fingers through his messy hair before looking at the half-closed door of the Master's bedroom.

The light in the room was not out yet. The woman inside was not a peaceful creature to begin with then why was she so quiet?

He walked towards the room and pushed open the door before glancing towards the bed.

Yu Mei was sleeping while hugging a bolster tightly and one of her legs was tightly wrapped over it. The edge of the blanket was lying on the bed while the rest of it was not visible.

He walked towards the bed and picked up the blanket from the floor before covering her body properly.

He turned all the lights off only leaving the bedside light. Just as he turned around to leave, the woman kicked away the blanket again before sleeping on her back facing the ceiling.

He covered her again dragging it till her neck, pausing for a moment when he noticed her small movements.

The large window in the room was left open causing the slow breeze to caress her skin. A few strands of hair fell on her face. Her tongue slowly peeked out of her mouth, gliding across her bottom lips.

His gaze darkened as he leaned closer to her. He tucked her hair behind her ear, his hand lingering there for a moment while his gaze remained on her wet lips as he leaned closer to her until their faces were inches apart.

'Because I believed you'd protect me' The words she uttered on the beach kept ringing in his mind, giving him a strange feeling all over in his heart.

He cupped her cheek in his palm while his other hand rested on her side, trapping her in his arms. Tilting his head a little lower, he closed the gap between them, softly placing his lips on hers.

His heart skipped a beat as their lips touched, starting a small fire somewhere deep in his heart.

Suddenly, the woman moved.

''Mmmph…” Mumbling something incoherently, she gently licked his lips, snapping him out of his trance immediately.

He stood up from the bed and raked his fingers through golden ash-blonde hair. Disbelief marred his face as the realization of what he just did start sinking in.
