Chapter 71 - Just A Dream

There were times when stupidity brought a boldness. Sometimes, no one can distinguish the two because the difference only as thin as an onion skin. That was, boldness can occur due to high levels of stupidity without considering the consequences in the future. Like Ling Yue, who had felt bold to take advantage, was not aware of what would happen next.

Or what might happen if she provokes a man.

On the bed.

Ling Yue felt herself nearly passed out from being out of breath. She pushed Xi Jian as hard as she could when that man almost tore her mouth. Shortness of breath while her hands trembled, she did not dare look at Xi Jian's face. What scared her was not only Xi Jian, but herself. Her body heats up because Xi Jian moves his hands to all parts of Ling Yue's body. She felt something she had never felt before. She did not want this to continue but also did not want it to end. She did not know herself could be so ... confused. Yes. It is. Confusing.

This was completely beyond her imagination. She wanted to know what it really felt like a kiss, not a kiss that wanted to swallow her all like this.

Xi Jian's eyes were still filled with the desire to trace Ling Yue's collarbone which was still covered by her work attire. Xi Jian placed his hands there, preparing to unbutton one by one. His finger slipped the other way as Ling Yue pulled her body up. He tilted his head as if confused about what Ling Yue was doing.

"What do you want to do?" Hearing Ling Yue's voice that asked in a hoarse voice making Xi Jian like struck by lightning.

He froze.

Shit! Since when has he been unable to hold himself?

Xi Jian carefully sat and watched Ling Yue's face beside him. After saying that, Ling Yue was silent, circulating her eyes around the room. She needed a minute to clear her mind and strengthen her knee which she felt would not be able to support herself, before sliding her body out of bed.

'Should I apologize?'

Xi Jian never felt afraid or apologized just for kissing a woman.

'Why is she didn't say anything? Is she angry?' Xi Jian watched Ling Yue's movements and he became uneasy.

"Sorry I didn't mean to—" without realizing it, the word came out of his mouth which was immediately cut off by Ling Yue. Ling Yue cleared her throat and faced Xi Jian, put on her glasses and said: "You don't need to apologize, I should be the one apologizing. I thought you were dreaming -- I mean I was dreaming so ..." her voice sounded smaller and a red tinge colored her cheeks. "If you don't mind, I'll excuse myself."

Ling Yue tried to face her stupidity coolly, she almost ran towards the door. After Xi Jian heard her say that, he blocked Ling Yue's way.

"Listen, I'm really sorry--"

"No. No. You don't need to! I told you it was just a dream, I thought I was kissing someone else." She spoke nonsense amid her panic.

Xi Jian somehow felt anger start to pop up in his heart. "What did you say? Someone? Who?"

A soft knock sounded behind the door. Shattering his piercing gaze at her. He turned his head. Ling Yue did not waste this opportunity to get out of there.

"Oh, good morning Mr. Bai." Ling Yue greeted Bai Xu who was gaping behind the door. with an innocent smile she slipped in front of Bai Xu and rushed to her hotel room. Bai Xu tried to throw away all his suspicions and face Xi Jian. He informed all of Xi Jian's schedule today. He heard him but didn't listen.

'What did she say?! Someone?'

"Mister Xi?"

Xi Jian just mumbled and told him to get out. He showered longer than usual. He needs to clear his mind and calm things down there. He slowly banging his head against the bathroom wall, with the shower water still flowing overhead.

'She's your best-friend's sister!'

"Damn it! Damn it!"

He definitely would broke his promise with Ling Feng soon.
