Chapter 159 - May I?
Chapter 159 – May I?
'Since you know that my man is powerful, you should stop provoking me.'
'Since you know that my man is powerful….'
'Since you know that my man…'
'My man.'
'MY MAN!!!'
As Yu Mei realized what she had just uttered in the Yu Mansion, her expressions were screaming horror.
At that time, she was hungry and grumpy and she did not think what nonsense she was spouting but right now, as soon as the delicious food rolled down her throat, the reminder and realization came too fast.
Yu Jinhai gulped, looking at his sister's ever-changing expressions, "Jie, are y-you going to abandon me again?" He shrank back in his seat when her gaze snapped at him.
Yu Mei blinked realizing that the poor guy was getting scared by her weird antics, "Why would you think like that?"
"You looked angry.''
She picked up the glass of water, "Oh, I was angry about your brother-in-law," She drank a gulp of water but ended up spatting it a second later.
B-Brother-in-law?
Why was her mouth working the wrong way?
"Jie, will you introduce me to brother-in-law?" He had heard a lot from the family about him.
Yu Mei smiled, looking at his eager eyes but fearful countenance. "Of course, he is your brother-in-law after all," Her smile got stiff towards the end.
After having lunch with the little one, she took him to Shi Luo and spent a few hours there interacting with him.
As Shi Luo was good with kids, in no time, Yu Jinhai was fond of his 'Luo Jie'.
Yu Mei wanted to discuss his situation and how he was treated back in Yu Family but the boy was way too sensitive at the moment causing her to dodge such delicate topics.
After she made sure that Yu Jinhai was comfortable there, she drove back to the dormitory before Shi Luo could get started with another heap of 'Jun Zixuan' questions.
As soon as she entered her room, she took out a silk night robe from her wardrobe and walked inside the bathroom.
'Mia?' She called in her mind, standing in front of the mirror but there was no reply from the girl, determining that she was still cultivating.
Letting out a soft sigh, she freshened up before getting changed to the robe. Her mind was still occupied with a certain man's thoughts by the time she walked out of the bathroom.
Without bothering to turn the bedroom lights on, she walked towards the large window and sat on the window sill, her thoughts going in disarray as she tilted her upwards to look at the beautiful full moon.
"You look lost," came a voice from behind that had her stiffen for a moment.
'Am I starting to hallucinate him now?' Yu Mei shook her head as she continued to glance at the moon.
"Mei, are you thinking about me?" She was twirled around as an arm wrapped around her waist, snapping her out of her wandering thoughts.
Her eyes widened as she looked at his face under the moonlight, "What are you doing here?" She asked, raising her hand towards his face and poking his cheek with her index finger.
She was still confused whether this was an illusion or she was just a bit exhausted.
She couldn't be blamed for thinking so when this man has forcefully invaded her thoughts for a few days.
No matter what she did, where she went, it was his face, his name imprinted in her mind. It was as if this stubborn man was controlling her thought process, refusing to go away.
He did not reply to her question.
"You shouldn't do this," She said, biting her bottom lips.
"Shouldn't do what?" He held the finger that was poking his cheeks a moment ago. Intertwining their fingers, he pulled her hand towards himself and placed a soft kiss on the back of her palm.
She leaned closer to him, feeling comforted, "Do what you just did. Or what you have been doing lately."
"Mei," He called out to her, his deep voice carried a trace of gentleness that never existed when he talked to others.
"Mm?" She glanced at him.
His hand glided off her waist as he raised it towards her face, grabbing her chin and tilting her face upwards.
She gulped feeling the proximity between them. As his hot breath caressed her face, her fingers tightened gripped his hand tightly and he in turn drew small circles on the back of her palm.
"I missed you," He whispered, his lips grazing past hers.
Her lips parted slightly but the man created a bit of distance between them, leaving a few inches gap between their lips, "We were together yesterday."
"But I left in the morning," He placed a soft kiss on the tip of her nose, "It's been almost 12 hours without seeing you."
"Y-You are talking like we see each other for 24 hours," She clutched his shirt in her fist as his lips grazed past her cheeks, his teeth softly and torturously nibbling her skin.
He paused when he heard her words as he looked into her eyes that were shimmering under the moonlight, "Sleeping to your face and waking up with you in my arms. I've long liked the sound of it," His hand moved towards the back of her head, his fingers raking through her hair as he angled her face to have a better look at her.
Dazed, red, and confused. That was not an expression this stubborn woman would usually show until and unless they were in this position, being this intimate.
"I've been thinking about you all day," The words slipped out of her mouth sleekly.
She didn't know who to blame, her mouth, her mind, or her heart. Lately, all of them have been betraying her in his presence.
And that was all it took for his gaze to darken. His lips were dangerously closer to hers, "May I?"
His deep voice was like a sip of mellow wine which can soothe your parched throat, leaving you to crave for more.
