"This…" Han Meixiu didn't know what to say. When she wanted to be released she meant not to have an intimate contact but the other person most likely misunderstood.
'What is he doing? Does he mean we're gonna stay like this? How are we going to talk? I want to ask some question but..' She was confused how Liu Zijian was acting. She really doubted if this was the same Liu Zijian her Aunt Yi Min usually talked about.
"Hm.." He simply responded to her unfinished sentence. He rested his face on top of her head. He's satisfied indeed.
She mustered her courage and said, "Let's talk."
"Hmm"
He only uttered a simple respond that could mean so many things. Was it hard for him to simply answer properly like a simple sentence perhaps? But since he sounded fine, Han Meixiu continued. "Can we sit down first then talk normally?" She cautiously asked.
Liu Zijian knitted his well-defined eyebrows and thought why this woman has so many demands?
He released her and sat down on a single seat sofa and watched as Han Meixiu took her seat opposite him with her head still lowered as if avoiding eye contact. He was clearly displeased. The moment he let her go, he felt empty as if he lost the warmth on his body.
"Come here." He said in a commanding voice. Sitting on the dark grey single sofa, he spread his long legs covered with an undeniably expansive trousers, he waited for the woman to come. But she only showed a shock expression while staring on the triangular space in his front that he purposely made for her to sit on. "You're small, you can sit properly." He impatiently added.
Han Meixiu was speechlessly horrified. It's not about the space, it's about the position! It's not even on his lap but on that small space! It's not that she wanted to sit on his lap, it was just both were actually quite too intimate.
How could he order her to sit there? She forcefully moved up her gaze to meet his scrutinizing eyes because her line of sight was getting astray as it started to move around the area of that space. She shouldn't be looking in places she shouldn't have.
Like what she more or less expected, his eyes were clearly showing an extreme unhappy expression and were sharper than normal. His entire face was excluding with message from a military discipline, 'obey first before you complain'.
He was sitting leisurely and emitting an invisible aura of a dominating ruler making the entire ambiance undeniably regal.
What should she do? The more she looked at him the more she wanted to obey his majesty. But she was clearly aware that if she ever sat there, her senses would be highlighted to the point that her mind might just shut off. The kissing earlier already gave her a taste of insanity. That kind of insanity where she couldn't think and only acted as if letting herself be moved swiftly along the gentle breeze of the wind was really dangerous.
It also gave her a huge realization that her imagination of this kind of thing in the past was totally different. Reality was way way waaaay better. She could also give an enormous credit to her partner. Compared to the men she usually 'appreciated' in the past, Liu Zijian was top notch. He belonged to an upper most echelon of men's classification.
"Han Meixiu.." He uttered her name in a low soothing voice that made her already messy mind became more chaotic. When her thoughts started to wonder how it would be if he's saying her name in manner that's softer and full of passion…images begun to form and her face started to blush.
"No!" She shouted feeling flustered by the fact that her imagination started to get wild and..dirty.
With a sudden outburst Liu Zijian jerked feeling completely baffled why this woman suddenly shouted.
To hide her embarrassment and her 'evil' thoughts she hurriedly said, "We need to talk and we can't do it properly if we're not facing each other, right?" She tried her best to make her voice as calm as possible since Liu Zijian was intensely looking at her. She was hoping that he would be convinced and let her be, but to her horror or delight? He answered.
"Not a problem. Come."
She bit her still swollen lips before she slowly went towards him and obediently sat on her designated place.
Feeling the warmth again that gave him comfort he started to feel better.
"Why did you agree?" She initiated to ask. This question has been occupying her mind for a time now. He clearly wouldn't have any benefit with their union then why did he accept?
"You're my destined woman." He nonchalantly answered. His arms were perfectly wrapped around her and his chin was nested on her shoulder slightly inclined. He was looking at her face's profile and was enchanted by those simple movements when she spoke.
Hearing his answer, she automatically turned her head to look at him to verify if he was serious or she heard his answer correctly. As a result the tips of their noses gently brushed off against each other. She immediately moved her head back to its original position. She didn't realize how close they were. She now forgot to probe his answer as her heart began pounding loudly out of nervousness and actually excitement.
'What will he do next?' She asked herself as she carefully intensified her senses to catch even the smallest movement of the man.
Liu Zijian didn't say anything after his short answer but instead immersed himself with her scent and warmth. He even closed his eyes as he waited for the next question she might ask. But since she didn't utter another sentence after a few more minutes and also maybe because he was quite exhausted with so much work since the acquisition plus the comfort he was experiencing, bit by bit he drifted off to la la land.
