17 My home is where you are (1/2)

Mu Liang hung up the call and went to LAN. LAN was looking at him intensely. Her chicks were red because of wine. Seeing her gaze he felt the tension in the air. She took one step forward. She was long lost in his deep eyes. He felt something odd in her behavior. He approached her. She put her arms around his neck. He smelled the Strong aroma of the wine. ”Hey! Are you drunk?”

She didn't answer him. She was still looking in his eyes.

”LAN?!”

LAN suddenly put her lips on his. His eyes open wide. She kisses him gently. Without any second thought, he returns her kiss with gentleness.

She is breathing heavily. He kisses her forehead. She closes her eyes to feel the warmth of his lips on her forehead. She has never felt this warmth before. With this thought her eyes become teary. He caresses her cheek with his finger. When he looks in her eyes he sees complex emotions. Love, sadness all at once.

He carries her in his arms gently like holding most precious petal. He heads to his car.

Stewart tries to greet them but he sees both looking at each other like they are looking into each other's soul. So he remains silent. He also doesn't want to break their moment. It doesn't matter how much torture is this for his single heart but he couldn't break their moment. He was happy for his boss.

He opens the door for them and heads to driver's seat.

Backseat of car

LAN is in Liang's embrace still not breaking the eye contact. ”I don't want to go home!”

”HM? But you need to rest so we are going to your home.”

”That's not my home, that's just an apartment.”

”We can't go back to your home at country C at this hour.”

”That's also not my home.”

”Then where is your home?” His eyebrows twitch

”My home is where you are. You are my home” – she murmurs in his ear

He lifts his eyebrow and a smile spread across his face ”Are you flirting with me?”
