As they were blinded by their l.u.s.t, they completely forgot about where they were at that time… until they heard an "Ahem" coming from behind them.
The obviously faked cough caused them to stop what they were doing. When they turned around, they saw the shopkeeper, who was blushing while she kept her eyes away. The shopkeeper then said in a shy tone, "I-I'm sorry, but we are closing now."
"I'm sorry…" Han Ye said. He then cleared his throat and glanced around before he took Angela's hand and walked out of the store with her. Perhaps it was because she reminded him of Wu Yuexue, or perhaps he was just a dry man who was ready for a new relationship, but he did not want to let her go.
Once they were at the taxi stand, Han Ye asked, "Where do you live? I'll take a cab with you and send you back to your home first…"
"Alright..." She then took out her phone and after a while, she lowered her head and whispered, "I can't go home… My dad texted me earlier and I just saw it."
She looked at Han Ye shyly and continued, "He said that the pipe at our house burst and there's no water, so he went to my aunt's place for tonight. Unfortunately, he lost his keys yesterday, and I gave him mine… and now, there's no one at home to open the door for me."
"Then… Where do you want to go? Your aunt's place? I can send you there."
"It's an hour drive away…" Angela Zhang said with a heavy sigh as she looked at her phone.
She looked at him and batted her eyelids as she tried to convey her thoughts to him without saying anything.
Unfortunately for her, Han Ye was a little dense, and he showed her a frown while he asked worriedly, "Is there something in your eyes?"
Angela Zhang sighed. She then stood on tiptoe and whispered, "Your place…"
Han Ye gulped. Right from the start, he knew what she meant. However, he did not want to say it out loud.
After all, he was still unsure whether he was ready or not.
As he looked at her face and smelled the Chanel Chance perfume that his wife used to wear, he could not bear to say no. After thinking for a while, he gently cupped her face with a hand and asked, "Are you sure?"
After she nodded, they got into the cab and went back to his apartment. On the way, he texted Lu ZiYan to ask about his whereabouts.
A minute later, Lu Ziyan replied.
[Since we got the driver on your dime, I'm taking Tian Le out for supper. Do you want anything?]
Han Ye replied.
[Maybe a cheeseburger or spicy noodles? ]
After a while, he texted again.
[Make that two portions.]
A few seconds later, Lu ZiYan texted back.
[Two, huh? I think it's better if I bring Tian Le to a hotel instead.]
Han Ye immediately replied.
[Don't be silly.]
Lu Ziyan chuckled as he typed a reply on his phone while Tian Le focused on his bowl of noodles.
[I don't want him to be corrupted. I went spying on him earlier and caught him doing something he shouldn't. I was right, HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND.]
Hearing that Tian Le really got a girlfriend, Han Ye immediately typed back a reply.
[Tell him he's grounded! ]
Lu Ziyan laughed softly. He looked at Tian Le who was looking at him with a curious expression and he said, "You should be lucky that you have me as well..."
"Is there something wrong with you? You were smiling while messaging.." Tian Le said with a worried tone.
"Nothing," Lu Ziyan said. He chuckled softly as he continued to type.
[Grounded? I'm taking him to the arcade to celebrate and to talk about stuff... We won't be back so early, so don't worry about the noise. Enjoy the loss of your second v.i.r.g.i.nity. We won't judge.]
Han Ye rolled his eyes as he typed his last reply to him.
[F*ck you.]
….
THUD!
When they got back to Han Ye's apartment, right when they were about to enter the front door, they heard a loud bump coming from the apartment next door.
"Huh… Since when did we have new neighbors?" Han Ye thought. He then glanced at Angela Zhang. Since he had a guest today, he decided to say hi to his neighbor or neighbors tomorrow. He hoped that whoever it was, he or she did not hurt himself or herself too badly.
The moment Han Ye entered the house after Angela Zhang, he locked the door. When he turned around, he bumped into Angela Zhang, who was standing right behind him. She was looking at him, seemingly uncertain of what to do next.
Her innocent expression made Han Ye nervous and he reached out to cup her face.
"Yuexue… Did you return to me?" he thought as he looked at her. He then gently rubbed Angela Zhang's cheek. How could she feel so similar to his late wife?
As he looked into her eyes, he felt a manly urge to just take her there and then. However, he still restrained himself. Even though it had been years since he did anything with another person, he still had his humanity.
Still, there was something that he could do.
Without any warning, he then kissed her.
However, unlike the previous kiss, this time, the kiss was more urgent and more demanding. When she did not push him away, he got even fiercer. Since she had taken off her heels, she was back to her real height, where the top of her head only reached Han Ye's chest.
She had to wrap her arms around his neck and stand on tiptoe in order to be more comfortable.
"F*ck!" Han Ye groaned. He then leaned down slightly to carry her up.
When she followed his movements and wrapped her arms around his waist, without breaking the kiss, he brought her to the couch.
"I-Is this… appropriate?" Han Ye asked between breaths as he lowered her to the couch.
"Yes…" Angela Zhang said breathlessly as she urgently tried to take off his shirt.
Having been alone for so long, Han Ye's desire rose when he looked at the beautiful woman who was staring at him with a smoldering gaze. Unable to wait any longer, he groaned and took off his shirt himself.
When his shirt came off, he leaned down to kiss her again. He could feel her hands on his n.a.k.e.d body, and it caused a part of him to rise to the occasion. He groaned when he felt her hands on his butt*cks.
Then very slowly, he moved down. First on the lips, then her chin, then he moved down to her exposed neck as he slipped his hand underneath her dress.
When she moved her hands down to his pants, Han Ye hissed, "I think we should move to the bedroom…"
He did not want Lu ZiYan to walk in on them, and he definitely did not want to scar Tian Le or give him an idea about a.d.u.l.ts fun time.
