Chapter 342 - Say It (1/2)

(Mature Content ahead. Skip if uncomfortable!)

Just as the door was about to close, Han Jian Yu grabbed it. His hand was almost trapped in between the door and the wall but he did not seem to care.

Mia's hand slipped from the doorknob and she took a step back.

He pushed open the door and stepped inside. his gaze remained fixated on her as he locked it behind him.

''What...?”

He held her wrist and pulled her closer such that her body crushed into his, ''Shhh...'' He placed a finger on her plump lips, promptly shutting her up, ''Let's stop beating around the bush.''

For a moment, she was in a daze as she glanced at his solemn face. His jaws remained taut and his usually emotionless eyes seemed to be glimmering with various emotions.

''I am into you. You know that right?”

She lowered her eyes.

His index finger which was resting on her lips shifted below her chin and he lifted it up, causing her to look back into his eyes once again, ''You know it, right?”

She did not respond to him.

The corner of his lips tugged up, ''Not only that...'' He leaned closer to her and whispered beside her ear, ''...You are into me as well.''

Her fingers that were resting on her sides fisted her nightdress tightly.

The small distance between them diminished as he placed his face against hers. His jaws grazed past her cheeks. His fingers intertwined with hers.... ''So...''

Mia got her hand quickly out of his grip even before he could comprehend how she did it.

She turned around such that he could not see her face.

She was strong. He knew that which is why he was not surprised.

He tilted his head to the side and leaned against the wall, ''Is this your way of saying that I am overthinking things between us?” As she did not respond to him, he nodded, ''If that's what you mean, say it. Say that when you get closer to me, you never try to remain like that position for a longer time. I will disappear from your sight and you won't see me again if you say,'' His tone was low and casual but one could see the solemn look in his eyes.

As she did not move from her spot, he glanced at her back and straightened up before he stepped towards the door but before his hand could reach the doorknob, his hand was grabbed by a delicate palm, ''I am indeed quite attracted to you...'' Her voice was neither hesitant nor shy. He turned to look at her and she stepped towards him before grabbing his collar, ''Very much,'' She stood on her tiptoes and grazed her lips near his.

When he stood rooted to his spot in an unresponsive manner, she chuckled against his lips, ''Kiss me, will you?”

''Are you sure?” He whispered.

''How do you want me to show my sincerity?”
