Chapter 291 - 292: Bathtub-I

Nights have gotten through after Wang Li Lei proposed her. They both spent their time with teas and snacks Mrs. Len prepared for them and Xiao Yun could still remember how Mrs. Len couldn't help her grinning and she guessed Mrs. Len must have seen Wang Li Lei proposed her. Truthfully she felt giddy but her happiness was more then the jittery nerves she felt.

Xiao Yun raised her hand to the sky and saw how the ring sparkled along the fireflies floating amongst the starry sky.

"I planned to do this yesterday but it was unfortunate." He reached out his hand and brushed her hair aside to the back of her ears that had covered her eyes. "I'm sorry if it isn't a grand proposal." He smiled which she replied quickly to shake her head.

"Don't be sorry, Li Lei. This is my lifetime proposal and the most beautiful view I could

have in my life, I like it very much." she whispered back her eyes staying at the ring moved as she hugged his hand and leaned her head to his shoulder. A grand proposal in front of many guests maybe a romantic one but she was sure the one she had receive was a treasure on her own.

"That's great." He whispered and kissed her lips for her attention to gather only at the man. "The public announcement was cancelled yesterday I planned to publish the news through various medias, is not that different from our first plan but what do you say?" he waited for her response not wanting to do things without having a proper conversation with her.

What was there for her to reject? "Of course," She replied back in agreement. The way yesterday goes were unfortunate but there must be a silver lining over the accident happening to her yesterday and she wanted to believe it.

Before midnight passed, Xiao Yun and Wang Li Lei went back to their house. Taking the album pictures filled with memories she asked whether she could bring it with her home to receive a yes from Wang Li Lei and brought it home with her. When she arrived at the house Xiao Yun flopped to her comfy bed and raised her hand to stare at the ring with a wide smile.

Her heart felt squeezed and leaped almost out of its place when she heard him taking time to propose her. They were alone at the place sharing a memory where no one would ever know other than them like a little secret held between the two. When she recalled his voice whispering through the wind of the night and how the fireflies sparkled next to them, she felt her ears numb and couldn't hear anything even her own racing heartbeat but his voice.

The word marry had its own power one that made a constant smile to appear on her face throughout the day which perhaps wouldn't stop even until the next three week. Just then a knock came to her room and Wang Li Lei entered the room with a tray of teapot and two teacups on the tray. Bringing the tray to the table, he smiled "Want to drink a night tea before you sleep?"

"I have never heard anything about a night tea before." she said as she stood up from her bed toward him with a smile.

"Then we should start night tea tradition for our family." and at his words she broke to a smile. Wang Li Lei poured the liquid to the two cups the sound of water steaming to the cup made a peaceful sound at the silent room. Xiao Yun had been standing on the window closed the window tightly as the rain had fell down to the city.

"It's starting to get cold." she whispered seeing the moon had disappeared somewhere.

"You should wear more clothing now don't catch a cold." he replied back as she walk to take a seat beside him.

Xiao Yun stared hard at him and tug his shirt, "What about you? You have been wearing nothing but plain shirt you will catch a cold before me if you keep yourself in only one piece of fabric."

He brought her hands closer and whispered with a smile that tug a heartstring at her, "Then you should come often to my room and warm me up."

She giggled, "Is that your way of seducing me?"

"What do you think?" There was no answer other than yes from his eyes.

She looked up at his face and folded her hand to his shoulders. Leaving all the weight of her body toward him, Xiao Yun bit his full lower lips faintly and lick his lips for her tongue to enter his warm lips, parting her mouth in a distance where their nose touch, she felt breaths brushing her ears when he spoke. "Do you want to continue further?"

Wang Li Lei held her waist only a few fingers away from her bosom and Xiao Yun bit the inner of her lips, "I need to take a bath." She was out the whole day and right now she felt sticky.

"With me?" he asked mischievously and smiled, "I thought it was an invitation."

"And what if it was?" she questioned his words bravely and her view tilted suddenly. She held his shoulder tightly as he carried her on his arms.

"I will accept it," he readily said and kissed her lips lightly to bring her toward the bath. Once they entered the bathroom, Wang Li Lei let her down and went to plug the bottom part of the bathtub before turning the faucet for warm water to flood and fill the bathtub slowly to the brim.

Xiao Yun dwelled in front of the bathtub near the door where Wang Li Lei had placed her down before and saw him moving away to her. Seeing him closer, she closed her eyes but the kiss she expected didn't come after a while. She peeked between her eyelids to see him taking something above her head.

She felt silly on her own thought for being conscious and was about to bring her head down but Wang Li Lei had noticed how she shut her eyes to wait for his kiss and move to take her lips. His left hand took her fingers and brought her hand above her head. She could feel his teeth nibbling her lips first and she replied to his kiss the same way he did to her. Their tongues touched and wrapped one over another. As their lips left each other, she heaved her breaths from the lack of air after the breathless kiss.
