Chapter 131 - DEEPENING Relationship With Ex-friend
Chapter 131 – DEEPENING Relationship With Ex-friend
"You've always been beautiful," His tone serious as he spoke without a hint of deception in his brown eyes.
'Thump'
She bit her bottom lips feeling a little fuzzy in her mind and heart.
Looking at the woman's gradually reddening face, he gently stroked her cheek, "Are you fine?" he asked in concern.
"It's a bit stuffy," She said, "After effects of alcohol."
He immediately let go of her cheeks, "I'll make soup for you."
She held his wrist, "No need. Tell me why I'm here now that we both have showered."
''How about we have breakfast first?"
"No!''
"Well, Shi Luo had some emergency at the hospital so she contacted me to pick you up," Jun Zixuan said as he sat beside her.
She folded her legs on the bed and glanced at him. If Shi Luo really contacted him, then it must be some emergency. But then again…"What am I doing here instead of being in the dormitory?"
"It was past the curfew time so I drove us here."
She narrowed her eyes, "Then, why were we…?"
He interrupted her, "I carried you upstairs and tucked you in the bed. But little did I expect…" He clicked his tongue looking at her begrudgingly.
"What did I do?" She asked, clearing her throat.
"You stripped and threw yourself at me," He said with a straight face while her eyes widened, "I tried to push you away and leave the room but you hugged me so tight and would not let go at all. I could only sacrifice my body and give in to you in the end."
Strip?
S-Sacrifice body?
She found herself speechless for a moment. Alcohol was turning out to be a mortal enemy. It is better to cut it off. She thought to herself.
How could she hug this scoundrel?
"Thank you for yesterday, then. I'll leave now," She stood up before looking walking towards the other side of the bed where she had seen her heels.
She put them on calmly and strode towards the door but a gasp escaped her mouth when she was pulled backward all of a sudden as the man wrapped an arm around her waist while his other hand settled just below her neck.
''Don't go," The man whispered, enveloping her in his arms.
She held his hand that was on her waist and tried to remove it, "What are you doing?" She asked, her voice coming off airy when he tightened the hug, their bodies stuck together not leaving an inch of distance between them.
"Holding you before you run away?" He whispered right beside her ear, his hot breath grazing past the sensitive skin of her neck.
This was all so weird. She was not used to this proactive Jun Zixuan.
She gulped, "Are you drunk?"
"No.''
"A fever?"
He placed his chin on her shoulder before rubbing his face on her cheek, "What do you think?" he asked softly.
"Uhh..N-No..No fever," she mumbled incoherently, "Can you let go of me?"
"What if I say I can't?"
She closed her eyes trying to calm down.
"Mei, after you left Ren Mansion, I was on business trips. I didn't kick you out of the house. I was just giving us some space," He said, getting her attention in an instant.
She opened her mouth to speak "Did I ask you for space? I even clung to you whole day…"
"And at nights too," He interrupted, hugging her tighter like it was even possible.
The corner of her lips twitched, "Whatever," Was he planning to crush her? "Anyways, what space are you talking about? You simply trusted your maid and kicked me out of the house after seeing the DNA test. Let's not forget that you did not listen to my explanation and…"
He loosened his arms around her and turned her around before wrapping his arms around her waist.
She froze for a split second. "You are being handsy," She said pressing her fists on his chest to keep an appropriate distance between them.
But her attempts at doing so turned out to be futile as he pulled her closer in one swift move having their bodies pressed together, "Friends should hug more often. DEEPENS their relationship," He smiled.
"Ex-friends. We are ex-friends so there is no need to DEEPEN our relationship," She smiled back not so nicely.
"Why would I want your explanation when I trust you?" He asked.
Her head snapped towards him. 'If he said something like I trust you because I know you can't do something like this, I'll punch him on his dazzling face,' she thought to herself.
The reason for thinking so was that Jun Zixuan did not know the previous owner well. It was her he had always interacted with so if he showed immense trust without reasons, it will all be his lie or excuse made up to coax her for god knows what reasons.
"I might not have known you since years or anything as such, I don't know your past, which chocolate you ate as you grew up, what you liked to play, who were your friends in high school, the guys you've dated or who you secretly admired, I don't know all these things. I don't even know whether you had a child with someone…" She missed the sourness in his tone while he uttered the last sentence.
He paused for a moment and gently pinched the tip of her nose before continuing, "But I believe that the woman I've been knowing since the past four months won't be so unfair to her child and keep her hidden from the world," said the man, not knowing that he just saved himself from a punch with his words.
She blinked and glanced at him.
"You told me that you've your secrets, and I never once doubted it. You do have secrets. Many secrets," Although, it was another thing that he wished to know them all, to know everything about her.
She was somewhere and somehow touched that he trusted her. And more so amused that he knew her well.
It was true that if it was her kid, she would not have hidden her from the world for years even if she was born out of wedlock or anything as such that can ruin her reputation. Hell, she was even guilty for hiding Mia. If it was not because of her abnormal growth, she might have introduced her as her daughter already.
"Then why did you kick me out of the house?'' She asked, coming to the point.
He paused, "I wanted to sort out my feelings and ended up acting impulsively.''
Her eyes widened at his words.
