CHAPTER 366
"You can ask Tang Zixin. I made him know later that it was you that I loved and he apologized for even kissing me at all. Even coming here, he was glad for our marriage. He means us well and nothing more. There is really nothing going on between us."
"I do not know anymore."
"Believe me. Look into my eyes and see it. You can tell. Ye Cheng, please believe me."
"I want to but the pain."
"Let it go. I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I have loved you each day since I left and had eyes only for you."
As Li Jing spoke, she covered the distance between them and went to hold his hand. "Always for you. So please see through me. Search my heart."
He gazed into her brown eyes like she had urged him. He could see it all. It wasn't like he didn't see it before but he wasn't sure. Now that she had explained things to him, Ye Cheng felt the connection strongly.
His heart ached the more when he now saw her in a new light and what he had caused her and how she cried for him.
"I am sorry that I have hurt you Li Jing began. "I am sorry for not…"
Not giving her any more time to apologize, Ye Cheng leaned in and captured her lips with his. He did not want to hear anymore.
He was tired of it all. None of those things mattered now that he knew the truth. Why duel in the past when you can move forward to the future?
Unlike the other times when their kiss was to pretend even though they let it come from their heart, this time there was no more holding back. There was no stopping. Li Jing did not give him a hard time.
Even she was tired of it all. She just wanted him and when he kissed her, she parted her lips willingly, welcoming his tongue in to explore her inside.
Although the kiss was slow, but they could both feel the love from it as every fibre in their bodies came alive because of it.
Seconds later they stopped and pressed their foreheads together with their eyes still closed. It was like they were still taking sometime for the whole thing to sink in.
It had just happened. Was it that he finally accepted her heart and her love? Li Jing did not know what to say. She did not want to assume too much so as not to be heartbroken again but who was she kidding?
She loved it, loved him, liked every single bit of it. Soon her heart began to thud fast in her chest. She did not know if he was thinking what she was thinking or t was just her mind that was playing its tricks on her.
Wondering what was going on in his mind, Li Jing opened her eyes to look at him only for her to find him opening his eyes at that very minute.
She just remained speechless, unable to say anything but all of those her mind-filled questions were answered soon enough when she saw his emotions filled eyes.
He did not need to say anything to assure her that he believed her again. That simple kiss and his eyes already did the job for him.
As if on cue, Ye Cheng dipped his head forward for another kiss of which Li Jing eagerly met those lips. She wasted no time in parting her lips for him, allowing his tongue to slide in, joining tongues like a well-known dance.
This time around they did not bother with taking it slow, it was as though the first one set the ignition in them and gave them the head start.
They felt the flames of love burning so earnestly deep within them and did not bother quenching it but stopped the fires higher.
Instinctively, Li Jing raised her hands and circled them round Ye Cheng's neck while his slender hands found their way around her side, circling around her waist and pulling her body closer to his as he dipped his head forward, deepened the kiss.
Ye Cheng kissed her so sweetly, sucking and biting down on her lips in the process but he couldn't get enough. He wanted more of her. He wanted more of everything, all the things they had denied themselves for so long. He wanted it all together.
He had been holding back for too long to just be satisfied with a kiss. He needed her, the full entirety of her being.
At that moment Ye Cheng threw caution to the wind and decided to believe Li Jing, his heart and mind told him so. She was indeed his. Her heart only thudded for him. He felt like a fool for not pushing forward and ignoring her all these while.
As though passing all of his anger and pain into the kiss, he tried to make up for it. They broke apart briefly but continued again.
With everything he gave, Li Jing was eagerly there to return them back, pouring her own love int that ne swell kiss.
After a little while they finally broke apart and tried catching their breaths. He smiled sheepishly at her, watching as her cheeks became flustered in its wake and warm from his love.
With eyes opened and staring into each other, Ye Cheng pressed his forehead on hers and used his left hand to gently caress her right cheek.
He watched as her eyes blinked on him, her lips glistening and pulling into a lovely smile. He mirrored her smile and kissed her nose, causing her to giggle. It was so breathtaking and charming to watch his lovely damsel like this.
"I'm so sorry, Ye Cheng," Li Jing apologized again.
"No, I am sorry dear. I should not have given up on you like that. Yes I was angry and hurt about the possibility that someone else had your heart after you made me wait in my pursuit for you and so I…I regret all of my actions and my anger. It was uncalled for."
