Bai Xi's Pov:
He put his forehead on mine and slightly nuzzled my head from the side before pulling away and a wider smile lit on his face showing his dimples.
It was as if I was stuck by lightning. Because his smile stuck me straight to my heart. His dimples drowning my doubts.
I look here and there to avoid looking in his eyes but even if I want to, I can't deny the sincerity shining through them. He turned my face to his and dropped a peck on my forehead before going back and buckling his seat belt.
He reversed the car and reverted back to the crossway. On the way he has a decent smile on his face , while me....after so long I felt a sense of relief. From what, I don't know but at this moment , right now I really can't wish for anything more.
I am scared with the way things are proceeding. What was supposed to be just one time thing has escalated to this. And I don't know how to get out of this. It's all too much for me to think through. The more I am with him the more I feel a part of me is getting attached to him. He doesn't seem like a bad person though.
My brain has officially shut down now. The thinking will have to wait before I am alone. Because with him near me I clearly don't take wise decisions. His presence clouds my sanity and I always end up doing things I shouldn't have done. So I'll think about it when I am alone. Right now I would just go with the flow.
With this I consoled my mind and looked at the area we entered.
We reached the urban suburb located in the most affluent part of the city where the most influential people and most of the aristocrats reside.
Though I shouldn't feel so surprised considering he is also considered an aristocrat among the country and he is alo the Ceo to one of the global market dominating company, The Si corporation which is a wonder in itself.
He was a direct descendant of the Si family, who are the aristocrats themselves. They are one of the original families who built , A city. So yeah a royal lineage there!
We entered the gates to Gardenia Palaces , a housing society of the rich and influential. It is among the top ten highly priced housing community. It's security top notch and rated among the fifty most highly secured areas.
The car drove in , past the gates and into the community without stopping, even for a security check. But then, this is Si Yihan we are talking about and he is not just any people.
All this time my eyes were glued to the window and my mouth hung open on the way due to the beautiful view outside. True to it's name, the Gardenia Palace is full of many small looking gardens in between mansions having unpolluted air and breathtaking views.
We drove for a while before reaching the gates to a private mansion. The gates opened and we entered, continuing on a long driveway , before reaching the main house. The mansion looks regal and elegant. We stopped at a complex in front of the main doors I think.
I was still awestruck with the view and the place when my door opened and Si Yihan stuck a hand out for me to take. I closed my mouth and while holding his hand stepped out.
"Come" , he said with a soft smile , before pulling me along with him and taking me inside. We entered the large sitting room painted in soft colors , while he maneuvered me into a side corridor and took the elevator to second floor.
All this while I had been too awestruck to speak anything but the lift gave me a reprieve from it all. I turned to him and he was already looking at me , our fingers linked together.
We reached the second floor and walked the corridor for a while , looking around the European walls .
"I grew up in Europe until I was eighteen and had to return here. The culture stuck with me." he explained the European texture as he saw me looking at them.
We stopped outside a door and stepped inside the dark textured room, furnished with grey and white. There is a fireplace surrounded by couch and sofas. It all looked dark with an edge to it. Though dark it still looked all cozy and comfortable.
"I never thought you were the cozy type of guy" I chuckled and looked around the room.
"Cozy , you say. What type did you think I would be?" , he asked , his tone riddled with intrigue.
I casted a look at him and seriously pondered over his question , "umm , I actually didn't thought anything " I said as I threw him a glance. His smile dropped and he looked crestfallen.
I laughed at his expression. "Well you can't blame me , there wasn't anything good to think about". I said with a serious expression reminding him of the way he behaved in Sisuzane'.
He glared at me for a second before striding to me, his expression turning mischievous.
"Since you don't have anything good to think about then let me tell you all about me so you will have a lot to think over." He said as he pulled me to his chest , nibbling on my collarbone.
I laughed at that and squatted at him to let me go. But he pulled me closer and looked me in the eye.
"Well you already know my name , you have been in my house, and you know a few things about my life as well. So all is left for you to know, is this." He took my hand in his and put it on his chest. His expression serious.
"Only this is left. I would love for you to know this also."
I looked at him but he didn't seem to be joking so I take it that he is serious. We had a quite moment where our eyes did all the talking.
After that he took me to the room's balcony, which was perched on the cliff, overseeing the vast view of sealine.
The view is beautiful, and the sky looked vast and black. Though it's all black, lanterns are hung in the back portion of the mansion which is providing it with light.
I felt arms snaking on me from behind and I leaned back. This is the only moment of my sad life where I felt a sense of belonging. And how much I desperately wish for this moment to last forever.
I wish I could stay in his arms, protected forever. A single tear slipped out from the corner of my eye.
He nuzzled my head from the side before staying there.
"It's beautiful." I told him over the sounds of crashing waves on the side of the cliff.
"yes it is." He said but didn't moved his face from his position at my neck.
"I meant the view."I mocked a glance at him.
And I felt a light laugh passing through him , before he said...
"And I meant you."
