Chapter 114 - Only I Can Touch You

"Did he touch you here?" He asked, glancing at her as he held wet wipes in his hand. 

"Uhm, I guess." Finding everything weird, Zoey nodded her head. With that said, Matthew Xi began wiping her exposed shoulder blades gently. 

Just as she thought that Matthew Xi had some steamy idea to wipe Ezekiel Tang's residue off, he was proved her wrong. He was literally wiping her skin! 

"You know Browny, even if you wipe me until my skin turns red, what's done is done, right?" As she watched him wipe her shoulder with his delicate hands, Zoey bit her bottom lip as she voiced out. 

"I know," Without glancing at her, Matthew Xi kept wiping her shoulders before he shifted to wipe her wrist again. 

Zoey's skin was as white as snow, giving him a clear view of the discoloration. He or Ezekiel Tang must have held onto her delicate wrist forcefully for it to have reddened. 

"So this is useless." She frowned, watching him wipe her wrist for the nth time. Actually, the redness on her wrist earlier wasn't that apparent. His multiple cleansing was what had worsened the discoloration.

Fortunately, it wasn't painful and the redness would subside later. 

"It is." Nodding his head, Matthew Xi agreed. 

"So why are you still wiping it?" Zoey sighed. His answers were short and precise, giving her a headache as it seemed that they weren't on the same page. 

"What should I do with it then?" Slowly, Matthew Xi leveled his gaze with hers. 

"I don't know... actually, you don't have to do anything because I don't care since he didn't touch any off-limit parts." Zoey shrugged, answering his question, which she didn't know held a different meaning to him. 

Indeed, Matthew Xi knew that what he was doing was useless. Even if he bathed Zoey himself, it had already happened. However, he didn't know what else to do to divert his rage towards Ezekiel Tang.

All he could think of now was messing with the Tang's. But, that would be too easy for them. Hence, Matthew Xi needed some diversion not to act out of impulse. 

"But I do." As usual, his tone was flat but the firmness of his voice was strong. "I'll tell you this just once: I hate when others touch what's mine." Matthew Xi raised his forefinger and pushed her forehead lightly. 

"Until the three dates are over, your business is my business. That body is mine and only I can touch it." He added, not thinking twice of the words he held in for a long time. 

"Oh mo..." Blinking her eyes many times, Zoey slowly absorbed his words as her face gradually blushed. 

Her business is his business, and her body is his? And only he can touch her?! Just what are these daring declarations?! Zoey's inner self screamed 'OMG!' by his possessiveness. 

"B — browny, can you say it again?" Zoey stuttered, wanting to hear those words again. This time, she tucked both sides of her hair behind her ear, as if she could hear him loud and clear. 

"I said I'll only say it once." Shaking his head, Matthew Xi stood up from the large sink of the restroom and threw the used facial wipes into the trash can. 

"Eh? But I want to hear it one more time~" Pouting, Zoey also hopped off the sink and clung onto him. Fluttering her curled lashes, Zoey beamed him a coquettish smile. 

"Be careful next time. You won't like me dealing with people." Unfazed by her sweet gesture, Matthew Xi noted as he began striding out of the restroom. Of course, Zoey also followed as she was clinging onto him. 

"Yes, yes~" Nodding her head, Ezekiel Tang's lingering touches and Zoey's rage towards the man instantly vanished. It was all replaced by Matthew Xi — just him and his cold yet sweet selfishness. 

"Though, I think I should be grateful to that jerk. If he didn't show up, I won't get to hear my darling's claims~!" Zoey giggled, teasing him as they headed back to the hall. 

"Darling, since you're the only one that can touch me, why don't we touch each other, eh?" She suggested, giggling as she suddenly bit his arm lightly. 

"Stop." Glancing at her, Matthew Xi watched her extra bright grin almost blinding him as he pulled his arm away from her teeth. "You're not a teething child." He added, furrowing his brows. 

"Sorry, I just got excited." Still giggling, Zoey linked her arms with his. "I wonder when you will touch me..." She murmured, which he heard clearly causing him to stop in his tracks. 

"You," Facing her slowly, Matthew Xi momentarily set his eyes on her collarbones. "Think about your words thrice before opening your mouth." He said, sighing faintly. 

In his understanding, Zoey didn't mean to speak such misleading words. She might be pertaining to a literal touch as he recalled only one instance when he had comforted her during one of her panic attacks. 

Little did he know, Zoey actually meant the sensual touch. Not that she's a pervert... well, she was alright? After all, the only person that she had such an experience with was that one-night stand. Hence, doing it with the same person on whom she had set her eyes on wasn't a bad idea. 

Not to mention, Zoey was an adult! She's a person with needs, and that desire seemed to intensify when he came into the picture. Fortunately, the latter was unaware of her perverted mind or else...

"Hihi~ I don't need to." Figuring out his good intentions, Zoey giggled as she shook her arms that were hooked on him. 

Zoey and Matthew Xi returned to the hall with Zoey teasing him all the way. Matthew Xi just invested himself in correcting her terms every time. They didn't even notice that they had reached the hall, all the while displaying their playfulness. 

"Brother Zeke, what are you thinking?" Walking up beside Ezekiel Tang, whose eyes were locked onto the couple, Clara Wei asked through gritted teeth. "What are you thinking about in your own engagement party?" She added, curling her hands into a trembling fist. 

She heard what happened and even heard that Ezekiel Tang had ordered the hotel's staff to put signage in front of the restroom being under maintenance. Hence, Clara Wei's rage slowly reached its peak. 

"They're fine, now?" Alas, Ezekiel Tang ignored his fiancee's rants as he stared intently in Zoey's direction.. "He must have no shame, huh?" He scoffed, mocking Matthew Xi for being stupid and accepting the doubts of being cuckolded.
