Xie Jingyu stopped in his tracks, his eyes brewing up a storm, his lips turned into a straight line.
Being interrupted when he was so aroused was not at all a pleasant feeling, but as he looked down on Yu Huiyin, he saw that she had appeared as if woken up from a dream.
Her face flushed crimson, her eyes widened, and she looked shocked. Seeing her like this, Xie Jingyu could not help but having his heart soften.
He was not in a rush to pick up the phone. Instead, he slowly placed an innocent peck on her lips, before he slowly rose from the bed, and went to pick up the phone, which was lying on the bedside table.
Seeing who it was, a slight feeling of annoyance appeared in his eyes. He sighed, calmed himself down, and picked the phone.
"Hello," he said, the hoarse voice full of seduction as he had just indulged in some pleasant feelings.
"Jingyu, we have taken over every business and den belonging to that gang. We split sixty to forty with Mo Jinyao. He was surprisingly accommodating. Do you think that perhaps there is something between him and Yu Huiyin? They were alone for so long in his mansion previously."
"Bai Lian, I am warning you now. Do not try to go between my wife and I. Your small schemes are nothing in front of me; you do not have to try and test my feelings for her."
Although Yu Huiyin could not hear what Bai Lian's words were, she could hear the threat in Xie Jingyu's voice.
Yu Huiyin knew that Bai Lian was in love with Xie Jingyu, but she could do nothing. Bai Lian was a very important subordinate to Xie Jingyu; she was important and could not be uprooted.
Just because she loved him did not make her a bad subordinate; in fact, she might be even better because she was willing to do anything for his sake.
But to Yu Huiyin, it was an annoyance. Xie Jingyu was hers, he should not be coveted by others, but she understood that this was not something she could affect.
While Xie Jingyu was busy talking with Bai Lian, Yu Huiyin found a set of sleeping wear in the closet and entered the bathroom.
She had finally calmed down. She understood how close they had been to doing something irreversible, and while she did not regret it, she was not sure if she was really ready yet.
Taking a deep breath, she locked the door behind her and stripped out of her clothes before stepping into the shower.
The warm water cascaded down upon Yu Huiyin's body, her eyes were closed, and she was deep in thought.
She did not doubt her feelings or Xie Jingyu, but she was unsure of whether or not they would be together in the end.
They were very different; they did not just come from different worlds; everything about them was different. Was there really a future for the two of them?
Not to mention, although she did not question Xie Jingyu's feelings for her, she could not be sure that they were not just because of a passing interest. If he lost interest, would he then dump her without a second thought?
The thought hurt her, but she was not going to become depressed because of it. Just because she was different did not mean that she could not be together with Xie Jingyu. She loved him and would fight for their relationship.
When she was done in the bath, all her insecurity was gone. A smile hung on her lips. As long as Xie Jingyu liked her, she would also like him. If he one day left her, then she would let him go. As long as he did nothing wrong to her, then she would give him the best she could.
When she left the bathroom, she found that Xie Jingyu was still standing in the bedroom, his clothes were crumpled, and he seemed to be deep in thought as he looked out the windows.
The phone was tossed onto the bed, it was clear that the phone call had ended, but she was unsure as to what Bai Lian had said that could make him so lost in thought.
"Are you okay?" Yu Huiyin asked as she stepped next to him. Xie Jingyu looked down on the beautiful woman by his side, and he was greeted by the gentle scent of flowers that wafted from her body after having taken a bath.
Her shampoo was also made from oils and soaps infused with the scent of flowers, the floral scent making him gulp, and feel that she was like a small fairy.
A fairy who had arrived in his life from god knows where, but she had brought with her the colors that his world had lacked. She had brought with her happiness and a feeling of a palpitating heartbeat.
Reaching out, he took Yu Huiyin into his arms, but he did nothing apart from hugging her silently.
Together, the two of them stood and stared out the window. Both of them had their own thoughts, Yu Huiyin was thinking about how to become stronger, how to become a help to Xie Jingyu, but it was impossible to read Xie Jingyu's thoughts. His eyes were deep like wells, and his hands, which were imprisoning Yu Huiyin in his embrace, tightened from time to time.
It was clear that he forgot everything around him, and while it made Yu Huiyin's heart ache to see him like this, she also understood that he had to finish his train of thought before she was capable of changing his focus.
