He smiled and shook his head: "Didn’t you say you didn’t want others to know we’re married, so how can you wear a ring?" He opened the gift box, and a diamond-studded tal watch appeared before her, "The first ti I t you, you threw away the watch you were wearing! It ans you’ve already said goodbye to the past!"
He even noticed that! Ji Niandong’s heart trembled fiercely!
Lu Beichen took the watch out of the gift box, placed the box on the table, and reached out to clasp Ji Niandong’s wrist, "I heard a watch represents binding you for a lifeti! The past is already gone, now and the future, you are mine! Since you want to keep our marriage a secret, you can’t wear a ring. But, one day, I will prepare a grand wedding for you and personally place a ring on your finger!"
He declared tenderly and assertively, confessing, and sohow, the watch perfectly sat on her wrist.
Ji Niandong looked at him steadily; even if this really was a dream, even if it was indeed a sche, nothing could stop the fluttering excitent at this mont.
Her gaze towards him slowly carried a hint of infatuation, her flushed cheeks stunning under the light, and her slightly parted red lips exuded a tempting hue.
Lu Beichen wrapped one hand around her nape, pushed aside the bouquet in her hand with the other, and gripped her waist. Unable to control himself any longer, he kissed her.
The tip of his tongue lightly brushed her lips, soft and sweet with a hint of dessert fragrance; combined with the surrounding ambivalent atmosphere, even the kiss beca burning hot. Their breaths mingled at their noses, his gentleness overshadowed with dominance, savoring a long-lost beauty, slowly sinking and unable to extricate himself.
Suddenly, Ji Niandong shuddered all over, pushed him away abruptly, and fell onto the seat behind, gripping the corner of the chair firmly with her backhand, gasping for breath.
Lu Beichen snapped back to awareness!
He cald his emotions, looking at her horror-stricken expression, montarily at a loss.
Was he too hasty?
Was she truly afraid of him?
"Sorry... I’m sorry! I just got nervous, I don’t know why, actually, I’ve never... this was my first kiss." She started to babble an explanation, her voice getting softer and softer, her head lowered in embarrassnt, not knowing what to do!
First kiss?
Lu Beichen frowned and looked at her for a few monts; she had indeed frozen just now, very inexperienced!
So during the five years she was with Shen Congjun, they didn’t even kiss?
Seeing him remain silent, Ji Niandong clung to the chair back, turning to the side as if seeking support, still slightly self-reproaching, "I’m sorry, I seem to have an illness that prevents from being intimately close with n. Shen Congjun took to see a doctor!" She stopped short of finishing, "Perhaps it’s for this reason that he abandoned without hesitation..."
She was almost curling into a ball, like a wounded hedgehog, while clutching the chair back.
Lu Beichen walked over, squatted down to look at her, and gently stroked her back with his hand: "I was too impatient and couldn’t hold back, after all, we’ve only known each other for a few days!"
His eyes were full of tenderness, "If Shen Congjun left you for that reason, it must have been so excuse he made up! Who gets that kind of illness? It’s just that you didn’t love him that much!"
"I didn’t love him that much?!" Ji Niandong raised her eyes and stared at him, never having considered this question.
"Otherwise, you would have pushed away as soon as I started kissing you! That ans you were just suddenly scared!" Lu Beichen explained slowly, hoping she wouldn’t overthink it!
Ji Niandong instinctively pressed her lips together; was it that his kiss ca too suddenly for her to react, or was it truly as he said?
In the past, whenever Shen Congjun showed any intention of kissing her, she would imdiately avoid him, but today, he was too sudden!
Ji Niandong had not yet resolved her inner turmoil when suddenly, her phone started ringing incessantly from her bag!
