CHAPTER 411
Androda ensured she slowed down a bit on the highway, giving Liu Xueyi enough ti to catch up but she won and arrived at his house before him.
The clicking sound of the door alerted her of his presence entering the house. She ca out of the kitchen, with her appetite ruined at the restaurant because of him and Xie Tian, she needed sothing to eat.
"Welco," Androda greeted as she made her way towards him close to the door.
Liu Xueyi's lips pulled back in a smile. He opened his arms, welcoming her hug and kiss when her soft lips pressed against his. "You're late," she said after they parted from their embrace.
"I know. I know. I'm sorry."
"No need to apologize. Why don't you take a shower, and I'll cook dinner?"
Androda was his everything, his rock, and his support. He buried his face in her hair, inhaling the sweet scent of lavender shampoo.
"I missed you," he whispered into her ear.
Androda smiled and turned to face him as she stroked his cheek.
"I know and now I'm here. Anyways bath, you had a long day. I need to check what's on the fire."
Liu Xueyi nodded and watched as Androda disappeared into the kitchen. But as soon as she was out of sight, he had a change of heart.
He didn't want to be alone, not even for a few minutes especially with all that transpired today.
He made his way to the kitchen to find her back to him while busying her hands chopping vegetables. He snuck up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close.
"Hey," she laughed, "I thought you were going to take a shower?"
Liu Xueyi nuzzled her neck and planted soft kisses along her jawline. "I changed my mind. I want you to shower with . And... You had a long day too. You shouldn't be stressing this way."
Androda giggled and tried to push him away. "No, I have to cook dinner!"
But Liu Xueyi was persistent. She felt her knees grow weak as she leaned into him. He lifted her chin and his lips found hers again, this ti more passionately as he turned her to face him.
Androda lted into his embrace, unable to resist him any longer.
They quickly made their way to his bathroom and spent several minutes in the shower enjoying each other's company and the warmth of the water.
Androda was unable to resist Liu Xueyi's charm as they cleaned each other off, throwing any trace of her earlier anger away completely.
After a while, they got out and wrapped themselves in robes before heading back to the kitchen. Once done, the table was set and they sat down to eat.
By now she knew she had given him enough ti to think all these through.
Now, there wouldn't be anymore waste of ti.
"Don't you have sothing to tell ?" She asked in a soft voice and chewed her ham slowly.
He smiled, he understood what she ant and was okay with anything.
"Umm... Where do I begin?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Androda placed a hand on his and looked at him with concern. "How about how you broke up but first what does she wants with you now?"
"Zheng Ying my ex..." He sighed, clenching hard on his cutlery before Androda's eyes.
"Xueyi... it's okay. I won't get mad. I promise."
A deep sigh fell off his lips as his eyelids fluttered close. "She has a son," he began but kept his eyes on the plate and not her face.
Judging from her loosened grip on his hand, he knew she could guess what it was.
"My son." He dropped the bomb.
Silence ensued while her brain fought with reasoning. "Did... How long did you know?" She asked, her brows slightly creased.
"Hours ago. I just found out. Believe , I never lied to you."
She nodded. It was obvious she believed him cause when their eyes t, her gaze softened.
"The boy is sick, and I'm the father." Androda's eyes widened and asked abruptly, "What happened to him?"
Liu Xueyi took a deep breath. "I do not know exactly. She threatens to inform my parents that they have a grandson." He scoffed.
"Imagine, I find out about my son via a call and she doesn't want to tell anything other than that and expects us to et."
Although he seed to be handling it well, Androda could sense the distress, his pain, his feelings. He had a child yet the younger days were stolen from him and...now she was back.
She pressed his hand reassuringly and rose up to stand beside him.
"What really happened to you two, years ago? Why break up and how co you never noticed anything?"
Liu Xueyi hesitated for a mont. He knew all of this was too much for Androda. She loved him and he looked forward to marrying her but now she won't be the one to bear Liu's heir.
"Andy..."
"Honey you pomised . I want to know everything, please."
Left with no escape, he told her what happened. "Six years ago, Zheng Ying left . She said she couldn't handle the stress of our relationship and just disappeared. I never heard from her again until today when she visited and contacted about our son. She's been struggling to take care of him, and she needs my help. It seems."
"I an why, why now? How bad is the sickness?"
He shook his head. "I have no idea. I just have to see her to know what's wrong."
Androda listened intently, her heart breaking for Liu Xueyi. "What are you going to do?"
Liu Xueyi shrugged. "I don't know yet. I want to help, but I don't know if... How can I be a father to a boy who sees as a starnger? I... I wouldn't know where to start." I'm ready to be a father.
Androda gently pressed on his hand. "Shh... You don't have to decide anything right now. Just take your ti, and I'll be here to support you, no matter what."
Liu Xueyi squeezed her hand and managed a weak smile. "Thank you, Androda. You're the best thing that's ever happened to ."
"It's nothing. I am sorry I got jealous and added to your burden today. Forgive , okay?"
Liu Xueyi gave a genuine smile and nodded before pulling her body onto his thighs. "I have forgiven you but I need you."
Their eyes t as they sent a ntal signal understanding each other very well.
"Promise I won't lose you." She let her fears through.
"I promise. You are the only woman for ," he said with sincerity in mind, knowing that he would never be able to find another like her again if she were gone from hia life.
She smiled at him then kissed him softly on lips.
In that mont, all was forgiven between them. The tension that had been building between them for so long vanished with the sweet kiss they shared.
The gentle touch of their lips brought a surge of warmth to their bodies, a feeling of peace and understanding.
The bitterness and resentnt that had sparked the argunt earlier seed like a distant mory, and all that remained was a deep and enduring affection.
As they pulled away from the kiss, with their foreheads still touching, they both knew that no matter what challenges life would throw at them, they would always find their way back to each other, with a sweet forgiving kiss.
