Chapter 100 - Lover

Ling Yue wiped her tears on Xi Jian's shirt. With a wide grin, her eyes gleamed on his eyes. "You look terrible but it doesn't matter because you love me!"

Ling Yue gave a peck on Xi Jian's lips. Xi Jian's heart filled with a bubble pink as Ling Yue took the initiative to kiss him. He kissed her back. But once he deepens his kiss, he must stop and grimace in pain. He withdrew unwillingly, grumbled again without releasing his arm.

------

A month after his absurd love confession, the bruise on Xi Jian's face finally disappeared without a trace. During this time, he avoided meeting with other people. Facing people's curious eyes was nothing, but it became pain in the ass if there were circumstances where he need to explain. So he did all his work from home. Bai Xu stands by his side 24 hours. He also always wanted Ling Yue to be by his side, but Ling Yue's work did not permit her. There were no rumors circulating when he was not in the office. The incident at that time did not reach the media thanks to Bai Xu who handled it well.

In his abscences, some King Empire workers had to go the extra work for him. He wanted to get the job done quickly so he could set aside a special time for him and Ling Yue.

"You have free time this weekend, Sir."

Xi Jian glanced at the calendar. Ling Yue's birthday will arrived in two weeks. He secretly prepared the best proposal for her. He closed the file in his hand and handed it to Bai Xu.

"This is the last one, isn't it?"

Bai Xu nodded.

"You're duty here done. Back to office." Xi Jian waved, sending Bai Xu out and Bai Xu quickly excuse himself.

Xi Jian grabbed his phone and dialed Ling Yue's number which was now

on his first speed dial.

"I miss you. Hurry up and come here," he said as soon as he heard Ling Yue's voice.

Ling Yue's soft laugh entered his ears. "I miss you too, but sorry I'm work in the field now so I can't go there."

"Where are you?" Xi Jian walked to his closet.

"Me? I'm in District Y."

"Don't go anywhere, I'll pick you up." Xi Jian hung up the phone hastily, change his clothes, grabbed his car keys and darted onto the road to District Y.

Ling Yue frowned. "Is he really going to come here?"

"Who?" her teammate today asked.

"My boyfriend." Ling Yue gigled as she said that.

King Empire's anniversary only counted the days, the company was in a busy condition. Xi Jian, despite working at home, he would occasionally pick up Ling Yue after work.

Their routine this month were limited, but Ling Yue was happy. The word 'boyfriend' lately getting close in her ears because the people around her see she always being picked up. Ling Yue was sure they would faint if they knew the one who was picking her up was Xi Jian.

You could say, in such a short amount of time, Xi Jian adjusted to courting her. That man wanted to marry her right away but given the condition of her family, Ling Yue wanted everything to go slowly. So she could prepare them first.

Thirty minutes later, a car horn was heard from across the street.

"How did you know I was here?" Ling Yue asked as she sat next to him.

Xi Jian did not answer, instead, he pulled Ling Yue and covered her lips with his.

A deep long kisses he performed for Ling Yue always made her think as if the world was coming to the end soon. Xi Jian tightened one hand on her waist, and the other behind her head. He let go her lips when Ling Yue patted his shoulder hard.

A smirk hanging on his lips as he saw Ling Yue was panting out of a breath. He showered her with short kisses all over her face. Ling Yue needed to stop him before he started kissing her neck. She always felt strange as if her body wasn't her when Xi Jian swept her away.

"Urghh. Look how you can aroused me just by kissing you." He put his face on Ling Yue's neck and hugged her to dampen his member which were getting excited. Since they agreed in silence that their relationship would increase to become a lover, Xi Jian always openly said things like this and that which made her heart almost fall out of shame.

"I want to quickly make you my wife." He gave a small kiss on the top of her head then let go of his arms while smiling.

"Sorry, I still haven't found the right way to get the marriage approved." Ling Yue played Xi Jian's hand in hers.

"All right. You don't have to put on such a tortured face." Xi Jian stroked her cheek. In fact, he could have directly met Ling Feng and the other Ling members but Ling Yue forbade him because her brother was still reluctant to talk to her when she raised the topic of Xi Jian. She was afraid their meeting would end up like at the bar last time.

"Have you eaten?" Xi Jian changed the subject because he didn't like seeing Ling Yue sad. Who would have thought, a King Empire boss was rejected even before the meeting. He still had respect for Ling Feng as his best friend and future brother-in-law. If it wasn't for Ling Yue begging him, maybe Xi Jian would invade Ling's mansion and force them to approve his marriage by all means.

"What about you? Have you eaten?"

"I'm starving." He joked.

A small smile bloomed on her lips. "Let's eat then."

-------

"Are you dating that person?" Ling Huansheng saw a car dropping off his sister and stopped for a long time in front of their mansion without showing himself. He could guess who was behind the wheel.

He deliberately waited for the car to leave before blocking Ling Yue in front of her room. Ling Yue stared at her brother for a moment then pushed open the door to her room.

"And what if it is a yes?"

"He's the worst."

"From what? You?"

Ling Huansheng clicked his tongue. "Love really blinds you!"

"Hatred really doesn't make you think too you know!"

"Don't look for me if you have a problem." After saying that Ling Huansheng left, leaving Ling Yue a bitter smile behind.
