"Xu Xiuxiu," he called, his gaze resting on Xu Xiuxiu's face as if he were looking through it at soone else, "What if I told you that I followed you the entire night without you realizing, how would you feel?" Song Yuanhuan said in an ostensibly relaxed manner.
Boom! Bang! Crack! A bomb on hold suddenly exploded.
How would she feel? What else could she feel?
Xu Xiuxiu's eyes trembled, instinctively taking a step back, and a sense of guilt spread unavoidably across her face. He followed her? That ant he had seen everything she did that night, crystal clear.
So that's how it was! No wonder he had co to her in such anger, questioning if she even considered him a man. No wonder at all. She had thought he might have guessed what she had done without really knowing what went on that night, that she could simply deny everything. So that's how it was! He had known all along, known everything.
"Oh!" Without anything else to say, Xu Xiuxiu opted for silence with bowed head.
The atmosphere between them grew increasingly tense. Xu Xiuxiu hung her head in silence, while Song Yuanhuan, lighting another cigarette, took several quick drags as though venting his anger, or perhaps suppressing the turbulent emotions surging within him.
The weather that night was far from good, cold and damp. Even he, a soldier who had experienced all manner of situations, could hardly cope with that night's weather. Yet, as he watched her slender fra, so clearly in need of protection, she stubbornly relied on herself. She even dared to squat in hiding for so long and then sneak into soone's ho in the darkness. How could she be so daring? Did she realize that if he hadn't been there to clean up after her, she really thought she could have done everything undetected?
Thinking of this, Song Yuanhuan didn't know whether to call her naive, foolish, or just plain silly.
"Xu Xiuxiu, I'm your man, and even if the sky were to fall, I should be the one to bear it," Song Yuanhuan said, tossing away the once again finished cigarette, pulling Xu Xiuxiu towards him with both hands. His large palm cradled the back of her head and, in the next mont, his thin lips descended to silence her startled cry.
The sky should fall on to bear! Xu Xiuxiu, feeling slightly dizzy as she reflected on those words, breathed in the strong scent of tobacco that invaded her mouth, overpowering everything else. It took her so ti to respond: "Mmm!" Xu Xiuxiu had always hated the sll of tobacco, but at this mont, as Song Yuanhuan kissed her forcefully, she found she wasn't really resistant, though the shock of his previous words took her a long ti to get over.
"..." Having finally managed to push Song Yuanhuan away and gasping for fresh air, she imdiately began to take deep breaths, but the strong sll of cigarettes inhaled was all his, causing her to furrow her brows tightly.
"Xu Xiuxiu," Song Yuanhuan held her cheeks in his hands, his eyes misty and seductive as he called out to her.
"Mmm," Xu Xiuxiu responded, eyes wide, to Song Yuanhuan's low call.
"Could you tell what you're planning to do in the future, please?" Song Yuanhuan asked with extre earnestness, as if negotiating with Xu Xiuxiu, yet his tone carried a hint of sorrowful pleading, like a child unsure of what to do, resorting to the most awkward way of seeking favor from her.
"I..." Xu Xiuxiu opened her mouth to agree but then considered that she probably couldn't do it, so she changed tone, "I'll try." I'll try to tell you what I want to do; that's all I can promise.
"Ugh!" The tobacco-flavored kiss ca dominating once more.
Xu Xiuxiu was being kissed by Song Yuanhuan, her cheeks cradled in his hands, feeling the domineering nature of his kiss, the strong desire to conquer her from the start, which had now softened into a slow seduction, a gentle provocation that led her slender body to lean against the window fra.
Outside, the sky was a murky gray, but it was finally about to dawn, and the two kissed intimately, creating a dizzyingly beautiful scene.
"Tell ," he insisted.
"..." Though the kissing left Xu Xiuxiu in a daze, she still had so rationality left and opened her mouth to say sothing in refusal. She was a person of her word, and she would never make a promise she couldn't keep, even if it killed her—that was her resolve. Song Yuanhuan seed to know her determination and was even more persistent than she was.
Before Xu Xiuxiu could speak, his forceful kiss ca again, not allowing her refusal. He was determined and overbearing, wanting to kiss her until she agreed, otherwise, he would keep kissing her, confident in his patience to compel her to agree.
"Will you tell ?" he asked seriously again.
"Song Yuanhuan!" Xu Xiuxiu said with a hint of helplessness, unconsciously biting her red lip.
"Xu Xiuxiu, I've never had many demands for you, but as your man, I must remind you that you lack the realization of what it ans to be a wife," Song Yuanhuan said, his fingertips firmly holding her cheeks and his nose gently pressed against Xu Xiuxiu's upturned one.
"A man steps in to solve problems a woman can't when it's necessary. But you think of solving problems on your own, and you never once thought of telling . When I ask, you're unwilling to tell ? Xu Xiuxiu, you're being quite incompetent," he said, symbolically punishing her with a nibble on her red lip.
"Ouch! That hurts," Xu Xiuxiu protested lightly after being bitten. Check for the latest updates on My Virtual Library Empire (*).
"Xu Xiuxiu, I'm giving you two choices now. One, close down Sichuan Pavilion yourself and obediently follow the troops, or two, I make moves to shut down Sichuan Pavilion and force you to co along. Which will you choose?" Song Yuanhuan's gaze was serious, and his words didn't co off as overly cold. To Xu Xiuxiu, it seed like they were rely discussing the weather.
"What if I don't choose either?" Xu Xiuxiu challenged with an angry raise of her eyebrow.
"You don't have the option to refuse," Song Yuanhuan replied calmly, shaking his head, "It seems you prefer the second choice?" He concluded, lightly rubbing his nose against Xu Xiuxiu's.
If this woman couldn't behave herself and stay by his side, he wouldn't mind using ans to clip her wings and force her. He didn't want her to see his dark side—in fact, he had never planned to show it to her before, but since realizing how bold this woman was, he beca increasingly flustered. He found himself suddenly afraid of her potential to leave him one day, as unexpectedly as she had appeared.
Xu Xiuxiu looked at Song Yuanhuan, her cheeks still in his grasp, but her body involuntarily trembled at his words. Her eyes t his, deep like a vast ocean, and in that mont, she felt as though she was truly seeing this man for the first ti, recognizing his dominance and his coldness.
