CHAPTER 261
After having a fun day, Andromeda had a ton of stories to fill Liu Xueyi's ears with upon his return.
More importantly, she could not wait to showcase her new set of lingerie to him.
By the time Liu Xueyi returned to his house, he wasn't particularly shocked to find Andromeda already waiting.
Since their relationship became official, he had given her the keys to his house and also let his security guard know she was the only one authorized to come in at will.
Any other person needs a call for confirmation first. As such, he was glad to say the least.
Especially recalling the reason she visited where he met her today.
To be specific, he was too happy anticipating the new set of lingerie she bought, for him to do anything.
The second he stepped foot into his living room, he smiled as his gaze landed on her iPad on one of the big sofas.
He was about to wonder where she had gone when his nose caught the scent of the delicious aroma coming from the direction of his kitchen.
The corners of his lips curved into a satisfied smile as he trailed the sweet-smelling savour toward the kitchen in hurried steps.
Upon nearing the kitchen, he heard her melodious voice hum out a tune as her fingers worked on the chopping board, dicing the vegetables.
Standing at the entrance to the kitchen, Liu Xueyi tucked his hands underneath his arm and watched her enjoy herself.
For the next few minutes, he remained silent, while admiring her from behind. Several thoughts came to play in his mind, trailing him to what it would be like to have a home with her.
To always come back from work and find her in his house, their home, bed and everywhere.
To be able to sneak up at her from behind while cooking like this and wrap his hands around her waist and shower her neck and shoulders with sweet kisses.
Even to the point of imagining a little him and a little girl just as beautiful as Andromeda, running around the environment and house.
He heaved out a deep sigh trying to settle his thoughts when suddenly his eyes seemed to have cleared away the images he allowed to play before him, and the first new image he saw was the smiling face of his girlfriend.
"Welcome back home," Andromeda greeted with a face full of smiles as she halted halfway in what she was doing.
Her hands were half raised in front of her stomach and her head turned sideways.
While one hand held the pot lid, her other held the spoon with which she stirred the ingredients.
Everything seemed so perfect and sweet and even though it was soon, a part of him held firmly to this belief. And at that moment, he knew he wanted to spend his life with this woman.
"I'm home, my love."
He took long strides over to where she was and placed his hands around her waist as he had envisioned a couple of minutes back.
? Placing a kiss on her cheek, he said, "Always stunning. Whether as a chef or underneath me in my bed or as a Creative Director in the company - whichever one it is, you always carry your position with grace and perfection. I can't be any prouder of you."
Hearing him compliment her that way, Andromeda wondered if something grand happened to him while he was away.
Not that she minded if it did, it simply meant she gets to enjoy every side of him.
And speaking of every side, her mind flashed to the pretty lady in the dressing mirror when she tried on her lingerie outfit.
Just thinking back to that, she could imagine the gulp he would take and the desire that would engulf his eyes when he saw her dressed in that.
From imagining those thoughts, Andromeda ended up blushing like a baby as not just her face but her ears became flushed as well.
"What is my baby thinking that is making her ears turn red?" He teased and planted a lingering kiss at the top of her ear.
"So soft and warm," Liu Xueyi commented and drew his head back to see her face. "Did I make you blush by saying underneath me on my bed?"
She could have answered his question but instead of doing that, Andromeda gave a mischievous grin and stuck her tongue out.
"Not going to tell," she giggled with her eyes partly closed.
"You sure, my love? I can just find out myself."
"Not still going to tell, Xueyi. It's a secret."
"Ah," he nodded his head at her but that was it. There was no probing further or arguing.
At once she felt it was suspicious. In the end, she shrugged off the feeling and smiled.
"Okay then. I would play your game."
She did not understand what he meant by those last words. And instead of figuring it out, she shook her head again before returning to her cooking.
While she did that, she failed to see the mischievous smirk breaming at the corner of his lips and the way he stuck his tongue out, slowly dragging it across his powerful lips like a hungry predator about to devour his peace offering of a prey.
Slowly, he let his hands move on her stomach but did not do anything silly.
After all, keeping her thinking he was innocent was best for his act of surprise.
Sadly, for Andromeda though, she saw nothing wrong with what he did and stirred her meal.
However, just when she closed the lid of the pot and put the serving spoon aside, Liu Xueyi began his attack.
Swiftly, his left hand groped one of her boobs and the other snuck under her mini skirt easily and felt her crotch through her panty.
Everything had happened so suddenly that she felt her senses fly out of her for a minute while he played with her erogenous zone and stimulated her.
