Chapter 135 - Precious (3)

Bai Xu and Gan Ji kept chewing their food in silence. Xi Jian watched the two of them sit nervously. No one has looked at him since he sat there.

On the other hand, Ling Yue looked happy. She kept filling Xi Jian's bowl with various side dishes. Xi Jian had to stop it before all the food on the table turned to his bowl.

After a minute, the sound of Xi Jian's bowl placed on the table made the two men in front of him flinch. They hurriedly did the same thing.

"Now tell me what is it?" Xi Jian was impatient. He folded his arms and leaned back.

Bai Xu and Gan Ji sat up straight, aware of Xi Jian's probing gaze.

Bai Xu opened his lips. "Uhm ... sir ... so ... about investor's matter--"

"Mr. Bai, how about you and Mr. Gan Ji left first?" Ling Yue cut the stuttered Bai Xu. "I wanna go home with your boss."

The three men turned to Ling Yue who stood up and took her bag. Gan Ji was the first to react. He followed her.

"Then I'll get the car ready, ma'am."

"No need. You can stay here. Who knows maybe Mr. Bai needs your help." Ling Yue took Xi Jian's suit, bag and pulled his wrist. "Come on ... you haven't been home in a long time."

Ling Yue pursed her lips when Xi Jian not moving. Xi Jian finally stood up as Ling Yue's gaze turned dejected. Ling Yue used the opportunity to drag Xi Jian home.

"Did something good happen?" Xi Jian raised his eyebrows seeing Ling Yue did not stop smiling, but wonder why she hadn't talking.

"Let's walk for a while so our food is easy to digest."

Ling Yue hadn't let go of her hand and Xi Jian's since they got out of the car. They did not go straight into the house.

Xi Jian let Ling Yue lead him around the park. Walking hand in hand in silence, before finally Ling Yue pulled him into a bench. But after they sat, not one of them spoke. Xi Jian waited before Ling Yue made a sound. He had a hunch his wife got something to talk.

"The moon tonight is so beautiful!"

Xi Jian gazed at Ling Yue's face then looked up in the direction she was looking.

"Yeah ..."

"Right?"

Xi Jian catched the sadness in her expression. He faintly remembered that line. He also said that to the woman he was dating.

'The moon is very beautiful, but not as beautiful as you,' while saying that, in his heart he sneered at the nonsense he was hurling. Because that's impossible. Nobody could compared a human to an object.

"Yu--"

He was struck by surprise as his lips in slow motion were swept briefly by hers. Ling Yue held onto Xi Jian's shoulder before kissing her husband. Her hands slowly curled around Xi Jian's waist. She looked at him softly.

"I love you, Xi Jian. I really love you, you know right? That's why ... next time, whatever happens to you, can you tell me?"

The moonlight shining above them radiated her face perfectly, make her more charming. Her black hair swayed in the night breeze. Her eyes flickered slowly and his figure reflected clearly in her beautiful eyes. Xi Jian involuntarily held his breath.

"Even though I can't help very much... I want to do whatever I can for you."

They stared for a few seconds. He saw so many emotions glowing in his wife's eyes.

"You're so beautiful." He put his hand on Ling Yue's cheek. "Just ... how many times do you intend to make me fall in love with you?"

Ling Yue looked dazed when Xi Jian said something beyond her expectations. She was even more astonished when Xi Jian left his seat and knelt before her. Xi Jian took her hands and held them.

"Yueyue ... when I realized I was in love with you ... I don't care about anyone or anything as long as you can be by my side." He remembered how he was willing to end his friendly relationship if it had to happen.

"I love you so much that I don't want anything to worry you. But now I realize ... I'm sorry if my one-sided decision turned out to hurt your feelings." His eyes which were originally lodged in their interlocked fingers, slowly looked at the face before him.

"From now on I will say whatever I do. I hope you will too."

"Hmm ..." Ling Yue muttered. Her eyes looked at Xi Jian lovingly.

"I'm really sorry. Would you forgive me?"

Ling Yue smiled and rubbed his head like a mother who loved her naughty child. Xi Jian kissed the back of her palm before grabbing Ling Yue's face and kissing her.

"I love you..."

Xi Jian kissed her. The warmth on his lips slowly spread throughout his arms and legs and spread in his heart. He never regretted his decision to choose this woman as his own. His most precious life partner.

"I love you too ..."

Ling Yue touched the hand on her cheek. Although her heart began to beat fast, her lips smiled broadly. Xi Jian looked down to kiss her again, this time for a long one.

He felt a push in his ċhėst and unwillingly backed off. His gaze was full of question. Ling Yue was aware Xi Jian's breathing get heavy and their body temperature increased.

"Come on in. I'll take a shower first."

Ling Yue stood up suddenly. Instead wanting to refuse, Ling Yue realized that they were out in the open. Anyone from inside the mansion could see them. The thought made her face red. Even though there were only servants and drivers, Ling Yue did not want to be public consumption.

Xi Jian held her wrist, his face grinning. "Is that an invitation? Then let's go in!"

"Aaahh!"

Ling Yue held tight to Xi Jian's neck as he lifted her from the ground.

"Mrs. Xi, I make sure you won't be able to sleep tonight."

Xi Jian immediately brought her inside, passing the servants and butlers who were looking down without daring to raise their head. Ling Yue glared but a second later her laughter came.
