CHAPTER 497
"I am still here for you. Anytime you need me but we cannot be as before."
"Why can't we be? Do you now deny your love for me or do you not believe my love for you? I am broken Huizhing so please don't hurt me further. It is you, you and only you that I want and none person."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. So, please… I promise, just you."
That was it, the last straw that broke the camel's back. He fell on his knees before her too and held her shoulder lightly with his left hand while his right hand raised her chin slowly so she could gaze into his eyes.
"Please," she pleaded again, her eyes still close.
"Look at me, Qing Mei."
"I love you."
"I love you too, I love you more."
He smiled at her. "I love you so much more than that, babe."
"I love you too. Please believe me. I am so sorry for hurting you all those times. I want you. I do not want him anymore. I am sorry. I want you. Do not leave me."
"I know, I won't."
'But you are," she refused to believe now that he agreed.
"No. I am sorry for hurting you but I promise you here and now, today before the heavens and the earth that I love you and I would not leave you. I would be with you."
"Promise?"
"Promise. So you do promise to love me and not leave me too? Not even if Ye Cheng comes running back?"
"I do." Her lips quivered but she pried them open. "I do. I won't leave you again. I love you."
"Thank you, dear. Thanks for loving me back."
"No, thank you for forgiving me and putting up with me all these years. I love you."
"Me too." He pulled her in for a big hug, holding her in his arms and rubbing his hands on her back lovingly.
She smiled even though more tears flowed out, her smile was genuine. She had enough happiness to last her for the day.
She allowed herself to melt into the hug, breathing in his scent, allowing it to assault her nostrils. Funny enough all she could feel at that moment was calm, calm enveloping her troubled heart.
They remained there on the cold tiled floor for about five minutes in each other's embrace. It was later they pulled away from each other.
To his surprise, she was calm. Normally if they had a fight or misunderstanding, when they resolved it, she would attack his lips quickly, ready for a round or two.
He knew she loved sex and he loved her for that. He loved her sexual appetite very much and everything about her, even her spoilt brattiness.
"Hey, are you okay?"
"I am just tired," she managed to say.
"Tired, huh? Do not be." Saying that he pulled her closer bringing his face close to hers.
Both of their eyes remained open as their faces inched closer and closer to each other. No one pulled back, no one dared close their eyes.
It felt as though if they did, all these would go away and they would be left alone. That was how they stayed until their lips touched.
Bai Qing Mei instantly parted her lips for his. It was then their eyes closed on its own as both parties accepted what the other gave.
Unlike before, this was the first time to ever have such a breathless, slow-burn passionate kiss.
It wasn't like before when their whole mind was all built on sex and fucking.
Now was different, they poured their emotions into it. No one fought for dominance. They just allowed it to flow as it would, kissing sucking, tasting, twirling tongues on each other and drinking their love through their lips.
After about two minutes, he broke the kiss. She could feel his warm breath tickle her skin and it gave her tickles and goose buns.
"I love you, thank you for choosing me," Hao Huizhong said from his heart.
"No, thank you." Her eyes dimmed and her cheeks pulled upwards. Even though he knew she was smiling, he could tell she was about to break into another round of tears.
However, before she could speak further, he crashed his lips on hers, tasting, sucking and feeling the softness of her lips. She parted her lips for him and welcomed his warm tongue into her mouth.
He tasted like grape and lemon at the same time, a simple blend of sweet and sour, making her wonder what he had for dinner. She kissed him back, letting her tongue dance with his as their mouth intertwined in a hot frenzy kiss.
He kissed her with so much intensity and passion, as their tongue fought for dominance. Sneakily, he snaked his hand behind her and gently pressed her butt cheeks.
She wasn't expecting him to do that and didn't know when she let out a small moan.
Jackpot!
She was shocked herself and that brief moment of surprise gave him the victory he wanted. Finally, he captured her tongue with his and kissed her with a much more intensity she never thought was even possible, igniting a flame within her.
Just from his kiss, she felt lightheaded as her body felt giddy all over. She was lost in his kiss, she lost to him.
Standing up, he broke the kiss just to scoop her into his arms and carry her to his bed. He laid her gently on it and climbed in with her.
When he was settled in, he captured her lips again. Kissing her for all he was worth.
They spend a very long time just lying there and kissing each other. Finally, they stopped and told each other how they felt.
For the first time since they met, it was the first time, they had this kind of romantic time together.. No sex, just lay there speaking of their love till she slept off in his arms as did he.
