Chapter 558 - It's Official

Cloe was bored out of her mind at home. She couldn't even find anything interesting to watch online or on tv. But the thing was, she was just not in the mood. So, nothing seemed interesting enough to her. 

Maybe she was just frustrated. Her idiot boyfriend just ghosted her this week! How dare he! Well, technically it can't be called ghosting her since he did inform her that he had to make a trip to another city for his work. But she would call it ghosting since she hadn't seen him since the night they kissed!

And it was just an innocent kiss that confirmed to her that she wanted to move forward. But that dumbass couldn't even take the initiative to go further. She didn't mind taking the initiative but he actually refused to take another step further. Like what the hell?!

*Ding-Dong!*

Cloe placed her fifth cup of coffee since the morning on the table and pulled her hair tie from the wrist. She tied her hair in a ponytail and trotted over to open the door. 

A big bouquet of flowers appeared before her eyes and then the bouquet slowly lowered and she looked at the face of the man she had been cursing since morning.

"Hi!" said Cui Xukun.

"Are you done ghosting me?" she asked as she crossed her arms before her chest pushing up her breasts. And since she was wearing a flimsy top, it even hiked up a little giving Cui Xukun a peak of her smooth abdomen.

He gulped and forced himself to just look into her eyes as he asked, "When did I ghost you? Haven't I been texting you every day? I even reported all my activities to you."

"Why did you? Did I ask you to do it?"

Seeing the look on her face, Cui Xukun instantly understood that she was just looking for trouble right now. No matter what he did right now, he'd be the one in the wrong. He didn't know why it was like that but he felt quite helpless.

He didn't wait for her to invite him inside and entered while saying, "Yes, it's my fault for deciding everything on my own. Next time, it won't happen. I'm sorry."

Cloe's face softened a little when he so readily apologized. However, she wasn't looking for an apology! She wanted to get some answers!

"You, what are you up to?" she asked.

"Huh?" he looked confused. He placed the flower bouquet on the kitchen counter and turned to face her. "Would you like to tell me what have I done?"

"The thing is, you didn't even do anything!" she roared in exasperation.

"And what was I supposed to do?" he asked. He placed his hand on her waist but she tried to squirm out of his grasp. However, he didn't let her do it. Hugging her waist with one arm, he caressed her face with the back of his hand. "Hm? Tell me, what was I supposed to do?"

"I kissed you!" she glared at him.

"And I loved it," he grinned at her. 

"And then what? What did you after that? You ran away!"

Cui Xukun sighed out softly and picked her up, placed her on the kitchen counter. Taking her hands in his own, he looked into her eyes and said, "You think I'm a jerk who ran away or a gentleman who wants to take it slow?"

"I don't know," she grumbled.

"Well, guess what? I'm neither," he told her. "You can't even understand what you do to me." He took a pause and added, "But you clearly didn't tell me whether you really want me as your boyfriend or not. Without that confirmation, I can't be reckless or hasty." His lips reached inches away from her as he whispered, "It's not like I need to remind you how my body reacted to that one kiss. If I didn't run away, I knew I won't be able to hold back."

"Who asked you to hold back?" she retorted trying to hide her blush. This idiot didn't even realize that he also had an effect on her. 

Cui Xukun chuckled at her reaction and kissed her forehead, "Does that mean I'm now an official boyfriend?"

"You're official from the beginning."

"No, I wasn't." He wasn't blind. He could tell that she was uncertain about their relationship. She was just casually going with the flow from the moment of their blind date. But now, it didn't seem like that. 

Cloe wrapped her ars around his neck and then her legs went around his hips pulling him closer. Cui Xukun was stunned by her series of actions. Her lips came close to his ears as she whispered, "Why don't you try and see if it's official now or not?" She pressed her lips against his ears, dropping a gentle kiss making his body shudder involuntarily.

Cui Xukun licked his dry lips and breathed through his mouth, "Are you trying to seduce me right now?"

"My skills are rusty," she said. "But is it working?" She actually had no confident in her seducing skills. They were non-existent after all. But seeing how his breath was getting ragged was really amusing to her.

However, she also knew it wasn't because she was doing a good job. It was solely because Cui Xukun couldn't contain his excitement having her this close to him. It was indeed like a dream to him. A dream he never thought would become reality.

Thinking about her plan of tying him up with a rope, Cloe bit his chin and traced his lips with her tongue. "How about we take it elsewhere?"

Cui Xukun hugged her tightly and picked her up, "I'll take it wherever you want."

"You better not run away this time!"

"I wouldn't dare!"

Without caring for the fact that it was the middle of the day, two bodies were entangled with each other under the red silk sheets.. Intimate voices echoed throughout the room and made one blush.
