CHAPTER 61
"Liu Xueyi, I…" her words was immediately silenced and her eyes widened when he came closer, leaving an inch apart.
His eyes flickered on her lips, admiring the same succulent ones he had the craving of touching. Flashes of that night rolled in, in full force and he stilled, unable to take any action.
Neither Xueyi nor Andromeda did anything. As scared as she was, she was unsure of what he would do.
So far, teasing her has been his limit but now...
Her thoughts were soon changed when she felt his lips brush against hers, slowly.
Their breathing hitched. Eyes staring into each other's eyes while sending silent messages.
He smiled on her lips and she felt the movement his lips made, watching his eyes leave hers to trail down to her lips.
So precious and soft.
Liu Xueyi brought his gaze up and a side smile formed. "I guess I have proved my point."
He moved away completely and sat down on the bed beside her.
As much as he wished to stay and do more. Heaven knew he was so interested in doing more than just brushing his lips with hers but he couldn't.
The sound of his heartbeat against his eardrum came in a heavy force. With each passing second, his thoughts were sent flying back to this morning.
He did not let her know but he could not deny it as well. Earlier in the morning, he had sauntered into the room to check in on her since he got stressed handling some company matters at night.
Upon entering the room, he met her cute self lying peacefully on the bed in his shirt.
Just seeing her dressed like that made him feel funny, especially when she moved a leg out of the blanket and he caught sight of her panties.
Immediately he went to her and covered her with the blanket properly, bringing it close to her shoulders.
She stirred in her sleep, moving her body to face up with little or no worries in her head.
Liu Xueyi admired her beauty as she slept. He felt drawn to her. And the moment his gaze fell to her lips, his heartbeat raced wildly and his want to taste her increased.
Taking in a deep breath, he threw caution to the wind, lowered his head, and brought his face closer to hers.
Soon enough he pressed his lips on hers, kissing her softly and then disengaged.
'There, sleep well beautiful,' his thoughts replayed in his head and he stood up.
He had barely taken any step when Andromeda questioned from behind him. "Where are my clothes?"
"The one you puked all over and mine? Hmm." He turned to face her, wearing his signature smirk. "I should add that to my list of favours that you owe me, don't you think?"
She evaded his eyes and looked elsewhere. "Don't be petty."
"Petty? Each of those outfits costs more than you can imagine. Believe me, you cannot begin to think of how to repay me."
She smiled cutely at him. If she could not pay for it, she had to use her cute charms to win him over and have him forget it. "But you are the nicest CEO, of course, you won't make a sick little employee of yours pay."
"Is that a question or you are certain?"
"I am certain," she responded quickly.
"Hm, you saying this does not change anything. You still owe me, making this three favours."
"Hmph!" She turned her head away in anger. How could he be so shameless and still require her to pay for his outfit?
"By the way, I should cancel all of your favours with this." He lifted his brow and waited for her logic. "How did you change my clothes?"
'You had the guts to see me naked, huh perv CEO.' As daring as she was, she did not have the guts to voice out those words. It was better left in her mind than being said.
But from the look he gave her, she felt as though he could see through her and she finally voiced it out. His response, however, wasn't one she was expecting.
"And what makes it bad? I would rip that shirt of yours and do it again while you are awake. I bet you would look more gorgeous than you were while sleeping."
Her eyes went wide. She could not believe his level of shamelessness could get to that point.
"But…" As she spoke, a light knock came on the door and it pushed open.
A trolley rolled in, followed by an older lady, looking not more than her early forties. She was dressed in a black fitted skirt and tucked in white shirt with a white apron on.
"Good morning, Miss," she greeted and closed the door. "I see you are awake," The lady smiled again.
"Morning," Andromeda creased her brows a bit and scooted further to the headboard before looking at Liu Xueyi.
"I made you soup to help with the headache and tea if you would so like. There is juice as well. Whichever you want and French toast, eggs as well," the lady explained, pointing to everything in the trolley.
"Thank you, Ma," Andromeda lowered her head in appreciation.
On the other hand, Liu Xueyi took note of her humility and nodded at the lady. "This is Mrs Chou Meiju. She changed you up last night. I had her called from the main Liu residence."
"You called her just to change me?"
"What do you think?"
Sensing the issue, Mrs Chuo Meiju nodded at her. "This is the master's personal home. He was worried about you last night and had me brought here. Please, start with the soup. I would come in later to clear the dishes."
She lowered her head to Liu Xueyi and took her leave. Once the door shut close, Liu Xueyi did not bother to say anything and was about to leave when he heard her calm voice.
"I am sorry for doubting you."
"Worry about the headache you would suffer for your recklessness and be well. I would be back to check on you."
