Chapter 252 - Take Responsibility
Zhiyuan pressed her body onto his as he deepened the kiss. He tilted his head and bit upon her lower lip until he could finally slip his tongue inside. His fingers entangled within her hair. His arm snaked around her waist that traveled across her back.
Xinyi shuddered. She was so speechless that she couldn't push him away purely because she was still trying to believe that Zhiyuan was kissing her. He didn't give her any chance to speak as his mouth hungrily blocked hers. The seductive music that hung in the air only added fuel to the fire and Zhiyuan slowly turned her to land on her back as he pinned her from above. Their positions were now reversed.
?
But even then he didn't leave the solace of her lips. His thumb brushed across her jaw and his lips passionately devoured hers. From her jaw, his fingers teased her neckline and collar bone that reached up to her shoulder.
"Mmpf!"
She helplessly struggled in his embrace. Zhiyuan sighed and with great difficulty, he parted from her lips.
As she was finally able to breathe, she gasped and looked at him in grievance with her misty gaze. "You-you...You broke your promise!"
"I didn't."
"Huh? How can you go back on your words now?" She looked at him in disbelief.
Zhiyuan leaned and seductively smiled. "You jumped onto me first. How is it my fault?"
She was speechless.
"It was an accident!"
"But you were still in my embrace even though you were supposed to keep your distance," he said, "I only promised not to initiate anything but you came onto me first. How could I resist? So, don't blame me. You were supposed to hold tight and sit rooted at your place. I was clearly maintaining my distance," he righteously said.
"I...I cannot believe that you can be so shameless. Does your conscience not hurt at all when you pin the blame on me."
"Nope~" he chuckled. "As an obedient husband who took an oath, I was withholding my promise to you. You broke it in the first place."
"You-you definitely did something to the boat to make me tumble," she bit her lip.
"What can I do to the boat? I think the boat is defective. I was only trying my best to balance ourselves."
"You-"
Her words got cut off as he placed his finger on her lips.
"Xinyi…Now that you are in my arms right now like this, you cannot expect me to leave you, right?"
"..."
"After all, even fate wants us to be together or else why would we get a broken boat and why would that wave knock you into my embrace. Xinyi, I think you respect fate and let nature take its course…"
He is twisting his words to suit himself!
Suddenly, a rectangular section opened from the ceiling and rose petals began to shower upon them. They gently kissed her cheek and hair as they fell.
Mesmerized by the sight, Zhiyuan slowly lifted a petal that found its place on her lip. Her heart skipped several beats as his finger brushed past. Her eyelashes trembled and she looked away but Zhiyuan pinched her jaw.
"You cannot run away from me, Xinyi. I am chasing you with all my might. I won't stop until you confess that you love me."
Her cheeks reddened and Zhiyuan leaned to kiss her lips again. His lips then attached to her neck that peppered soft kisses, making her gasp. He squeezed her waist that made her jolt. The pleasure that coursed into her tickled her stomach and she clutched his shirt in her fists. Before Xinyi could protest again, his kisses successfully managed to shut down her brain that only responded to his seductive touch. All the grievance and anger she held in her heart washed away with his fingers magically casting a vanishing spell.
The more he kissed her, the more desire heated him from within that threatened to eat her then and there. He tugged her sleeve that slightly exposed her fair shoulder. Gently pecking onto it, his tongue darted out to lick on his kiss mark.
"Ahn…"
She immediately covered her mouth and tried to stop the moan that escaped her lips.
Zhiyuan chuckled. "You don't need to control yourself, wifey~ Don't worry. Only we are in this love tunnel."
"Zhiyuan, you need to step away. You-"
"You broke the promise so now you have to take responsibility for provoking me," he smiled.
The ten minutes ride felt like ten hours to Xinyi as Zhiyuan continued with his sweet kisses whose gentleness and passion touched her soul. At one point, there was a small fountain that sprinkled scented water upon the couple. The shining drops that trickled down her lips and her pale skin ignited the fire within him even more.
He bent and licked the water droplets from her skin. Xinyi almost fainted with the contrasting sensations of the coolness of the water drops and the touch of his tongue that left a warm feeling behind it. Their breaths were perfectly synchronized just as their heartbeats as they were lost in the whirlpool of these overwhelming feelings.
As the ride came to an end, Zhiyuan finally let her go. Xinyi adjusted her messy dress and as the situation finally dawned upon her, she glared at him. "I really cannot trust you!"
Zhiyuan laughed hard seeing the funny expression on her face. What made it funnier was that she was blushing with a tomato red face that clearly said that she enjoyed it too. Yet, she was acting the opposite.
"Mama! Dada!" Siying came running towards them.
Jun raised his brow as he stared at Xinyi. "I see there has finally been some progress. I think I can expect my future wife to come soon."
Xinyi blushed hard. "T-that's not it."
"It's okay, future mother-in-law. You don't have to explain yourself. I mean, Mom is doing her best in explaining to my idiot brothers that nothing happened between her and Dad in the tunnel but we all know that it's a big fat lie. Rest assured, I won't question the inexplicable things that happened between you and future father-in-law."
"!!!"
