Guiren raised a brow sighing deeply. He was tired of everything, how confused she makes him, how uncertain she is almost every time.
"Meilin...What exactly is your problem?" she bowed her head slightly, tears pouring out as she clenched her fist digging deep Into the flesh "If I knew I wouldn't be hurting the both of us"
Guiren's stare was intentionally cold and uncomfortable for Meilin. Instead of his soft gaze that promised laughter and easy banter, his eyes glared with an intensity that tightened her chest.
Though they still shared memories, his eyes drilled out her notion of shared spirit, strand of connection between them shattered.
All his life he'd been lost on the topic of love, he'd struggled to understand it, but he never expected it to be so complicated and absolutely time wasting.
He lost his appetite for the food. He concluded that everything was a slip up. He was going to get up when she spoke "I'll let you know everything."
He crossed his arms hoping she'd really meant what she said.
"I'm a divorcée. My husband died after our divorce, he killed himself. Love played countless tricks on me but was a blessing at the same time. I got Li Na and Li Hua, the two marvels that mean such a great amount to me. I worked at the Yang enterprise and as Haru Yang's house keeper. I was in a relationship with him despite being married and I knew it was wrong but I couldn't resist. I was madly in love with him. We had sex countless times until we separated and I was locked up far away from the capital by my Ex partner under unknown supervision. I'm sorry for making you feel this way but I've been damaged to the extent that I can't take risks anymore"
His pale blue eyes, probed into her soul, desperately wanting to see what else was going on in there. He moved the chair and sat by her side, listening to her words carefully.
His growing compassion burns stronger than any pain that has corroded her heart. It was too good to be true. His look gives hope, telling her, "we can work it out together." It's the hand upon her shoulder, the realization that she's far from being alone. And this time, he wasn't going to judge her. His essential target was to be her hero.
"I wouldn't mind to be your all. I would care less if I have another man In me again but I'm afraid. I'm scared that everything would turn out—" Guiren moves his face closer to her and she remained frozen watching the man slowly close his eyes and in seconds he captured her lips. Making them fit perfectly like matching puzzle pieces.
He pulled away and they continued to stare at each other, no words were spoken but hey were able to read their expressions.
"I- I have to feed the kids"
"Go ahead" He got up and ventured to the hallway "I need to explore the flat" He winked at her and her cheeks slightly crimsoned as she went over to the children.
Thirty minutes passed and she sang the kids to sleep after battling to make them eat. She stretched as she walked to her room wondering where Guiren had gone.
Unexpectedly, arms were wrapped around her small frame and it drifted to her hip. It settled there and pulled her close as she inhaled sharply eyes locked on Guiren whilst he Nuzzled kisses into her neck.
He covered her mouth with his in a hungry kiss. As their lips crushed together, It felt like pure magic, the way his lips connected with hers. His mouth was so warm, the caress of his lips softer than she could have imagined and she opened her mouth with a low moan.
She pulled his shirt over his head and pushed him towards the bed. He sat down on it and let her straddle him. It was a slow process but she wanted to enjoy every inch of kissing his lips and jawline.
He used the moment to manoeuvre his way to around her curved sides,"You know... you actually smell Nice" she chuckled as she kissed his forehead. They slowly distanced themselves, just a little to look carefully into each others eyes and read the emotions it said.
"I'm not letting you sleep early tonight" He was intentionally making things slow, unwilling to let her sleep anytime soon. They had a lot to do, a lot to feel but they'd barely started.
He brushed his finger over hef lips teasingly and ran his other hand through her long hair, letting them fall from the bun she tied them up in. "You look beautiful with your hair all messy"
"All you do is talk. Silence virgin" she teased but his touch alone was a lot like a professional a man his age should be and she anticipated for his wild side button to be pushed. She wanted to have the sinner taste of him she'd always fantasized about.
Their bodies quiver but were perfectly fixed together as they continued to feel like they were meant for each other even if they weren't as young as they used to be and made mistakes that hindered fate from taking place. Now that they're together, they can fall into each other's arms whenever wherever.
From there on it was all passion and intense fire in their touch. The memories they'd have would always remain, no matter how old they are and how old they'd get and if possible they'd always want to extend the moment because deep down they never wanted it to end.
In the twilight room Guiren's fingers caressed his new lover's skin, and he twisted and curled her messy hair that looked like a cloud.
They'd become, one mind with one goal and purpose, each utterly drunk with love for the one other especially after they'd finally made love after hours of teasing and making out.
Touching him was like being handed expensive silk sheets, It made her forget her troubles, like she didn't have any at all.
He Nuzzled kisses into her neck as he pulled her close. Even in her sleep she looked beautifully satisfied from the pleasure, something she hadn't felt for a while but sex with Guiren was different from that of the two men in her past.
One thing Guiren was sure about is that she'd be his woman.
