Chapter 229 - Kept (2/2)
”One more reason for you to keep falling deeper for me, I guess,” He suggested.
She chuckled, ”I will think about that.”
He was indeed different but only when it came to her. If he was interlinked with another woman in such a way then right at this moment, half of the world would have been on fire along with the woman in question.
But because it was her, everything that was going on was fine to him.
”It really won't cause any trouble to you?” She asked with a hint of worry apparent in her eyes.
”Uh-huh. Possibly not,” She frowned slightly, ”Don't worry. Even if something happens, I'll handle it,” He reassured her.
She bit her bottom lips, ”Are we forgetting something important here?”
Jun Zixuan looked at the woman who was biting her lips in contemplation, her slightly exposed cleavage, her long dark hair falling in front of her shoulder, ”If you keep seducing me like that, who knows what will be left for me to remember,” he muttered under his breath.
”Mm? Did you say something?” She glanced at him.
He played with her dark tresses, ”I said you are beautiful.”
”I know that,” She nodded in understanding, ''Say something new,” She spoke with a straight face before trying to recall what was she forgetting amidst all this.
The corner of his lips twitched. ”Narcissistic.”
”I was being honest, Zixuan.”
”Whatever. I would have appreciated it if you were this honest with everything else too.”
She coughed.
'Knock knock'
The couple looked at each other.
”Who is it at this time?” She clung tighter to him, looking at his face under the moonlight.
”It's not ghost for sure,” He laughed, looking at the way she shivered, ”You are such a scaredy-cat, you know?”
She sighed. She would rather face death than facing ghosts.
”Master, Young Mistress, it is me.”
Yu Mei got off the man's lap before walking towards the door and opening it only to be greeted with Steward Gu's face. The man's expression had a hint of urgency on it, ”Come in...” She stepped to the side to give him the way before closing the door behind them.
”What's wrong?” Jun Zixuan got off the bed.
”Master, that...” Steward Gu was not sure how to speak about it. Then again, he was reminded of the other presence in the room. He glanced at Yu Mei and further hesitated to speak.
Before Jun Zixuan could say something, Yu Mei spoke up excitedly, ”Oh, I remember now.”
”What do you remember?” Jun Zixuan glanced at her.
”Didn't I say I was forgetting something earlier?” As the man nodded, she spoke up again, ''I remember it now.”
