Chapter 296 – May I?
As he placed her in the bathtub, she found her body relaxing at the contact of the warm water. She curled up, feeling a little exposed under his intense gaze that was fixated on her.
He tugged at his robe and discarded it as he stepped inside the bathtub before sitting beside her. He pulled her onto him such that she was sitting on his lap.
One of his arms curled around her waist, ''You have seen everything and so did I…'' He spoke beside her ear while his fingers drew circles on her breast, ''What are you still shy of?"
She shivered, feeling his hardness near her inner thighs.
But in the end, nothing really happened during the bath other than both of them getting tortured endlessly.
And the one to be in the most difficult position was Jun Zixuan who initiated the tease but ended up getting teased as his rock-hard member demanded to be inside her but since she was still sore, he restrained himself.
Later, Jun Zixuan called the room service to get their breakfast served in their room while Yu Mei was getting dressed inside the walk-in closet.
''I am going to take it back if you keep looking at it like that.''
He raised his head to glance at the woman walking towards him. There were usually some of his spare clothes in the Presidential Suite for this place was closer to the company and he stayed there most of the time before.
And the sight of her… dressed in his black shirt that reached her thighs had his eyes darken.
She gave him a 'what' expression.
He quirked an eyebrow before raising his palm, flashing the ring sitting on his finger, ''I can't take my eyes off it…'' He said, looking at the ring with gentle eyes, ''And no… I am not giving it back to you.''
She rolled her eyes as she stood in front of him, ''You look like a kid,'' she ruffled his hair. He certainly looked like an adorable little boy refusing to share his favorite remote control car with anyone.
He parted his legs letting her stand between them as he wrapped an arm around her waist, ''You certainly did not say that I look like a kid when you were pinned under me…'' He placed a kiss on her abdomen, ''…Begging for more,'' He glanced at her, his lips curving up as she turned red at his words.
'Knock Knock'
''I'll check…'' She nodded and stepped back from him, looking at the gorgeous floor. Yeah, it certainly looked gorgeous at this moment, probably because of the embarrassment coursing through her.
She could not even bring herself to deny what he said because that was the truth.
She folded her arms in front of her chest as she leaned back on the bedside table, looking at the man who was fiddling with his phone in one hand while he pushed the food trolley in his other hand. He was wearing a casual white T-shirt that clung to his muscular body paired with jeans.
She sighed.
''Enjoying the view?''
''Uh-huh…What are you talking about?" She cleared her throat.
He threw his phone onto the bed as he settled the trolley in front of the couch at a little distance before taking the plates off to the coffee table, ''You know very well what I am talking about.''
She walked towards him, ''I think I don't know for sure…Ah..'' She yelped when he grabbed her hand pulling her in front of him.
''Of course, you do, love,'' He placed a soft kiss on the back of her hand.
''Fine, I was looking at you…'' She admitted without beating around the bush, ''What's wrong with that? You are mine anyway.''
He chuckled, ''When did I say that I am not?'' His gaze landed on her empty finger, ''I am getting a matching one customized for you,'' He said as his thumb stroked the back of her palm.
''There is no need for that…'' She got her hand out of his grip and walked towards the bedside table. She picked up her clutch and took out a small box from it before walking back to him, ''I got it designed together.''
He grabbed the box from her hand and as he opened it, he was greeted with the sight of a similar ring to his. His gaze landed on the character carved in the ring. 'Xuan'.
He removed the ring from his finger before checking inside. There was 'Mei' carved beneath it.
He did not notice it yesterday in the rush.
The corner of his lips tugged up, ''This was the best gift I could have asked for her,'' He whispered, placing the ring back on his finger and she smiled, happy that he liked it.
While his was designed as a band, hers had a small purple diamond sitting on the top.
Purple diamonds were non-existent and there were no truly famous purple diamonds. Since purple is the color of royalty, purple diamonds are the ultimate regal gemstone. An 8-carat vivid purple diamond called Purple star does exist but its owner has been unknown all this time, ''You had this?"
''Purple star?" As he nodded, she glanced at the ring in his hand, "Yes, I had gotten my hands on this for a long time but I did not get a proper idea on how to use it and that is until…''
He tilted his head when she paused, ''Until?"
She placed her palms in his and stood on her tiptoes, letting her lips linger on his as she looked into his eyes, ''Until I realized how much I want to spend the rest of my life with you.''
His eyes deepened as he glanced at her lips and she gulped softly. Her fingers trembled in his palm as he rubbed his lips against hers before taking her bottom lips between his teeth. He nipped it lightly before sucking it and his tongue slid inside her mouth as he deepened the kiss.
She closed her eyes, moving in sync with him, letting him explore her mouth as he wanted. Their lips parted as she panted softly against his lips.
He leaned his forehead against hers, ''May I?" He raised her palm while holding the ring in his other hand.
She nodded.
He stepped back from her before getting on his knees, ''Miss Han Mei, I am not letting you change your decision of being my wife ever.''
She bit her bottom lips, ''I am not changing it,'' She whispered, her tone trembled slightly as she blinked rapidly, feeling herself tearing up.
''That's for the best as even if you want, I won't let you go,'' He placed the ring on her finger.
