The distance closed between them. Mu Xichen stared at her, his eyes deep like the ocean, as he unhurriedly said, "I have no desire for those, I desire only you."
He spoke softly but slowly, and he couldn't be more serious.
As he spoke, he moved closer.
Li Beinian leaned back slightly, but even then the distance between them did not widen. In fact, it narrowed.
He continued as he eyed her steadily, "Now that we're married, from this point on, whatever belongs to me, belongs to you too. And whatever belongs to you, is still yours to keep."
His gaze seared into her as their hot breaths mingled and their breathing became shallow.
Li Beinian felt her body tensing up, and her long eyelashes fluttered. She raised a hand and placed it on his chest so that he would come no closer, then said in a small voice, "You're… too close…"
An amused twinkle flashed in Mu Xichen's calm and quiet eyes. He asked, "What's this shyness about."
