Wen Shan stared at Nalan Chunbo with wide eyes. She could feel his long eyelashes brushing her eyelids and his warm lips against hers.
A kiss…
Her first kiss!
Nalan Chunbo had surprised himself by kissing her, but his body had moved instinctively when she said she hadn’t had her first kiss yet.
He wanted to do this more often. In fact, he should have done it earlier.
Her lips were softer than he had imagined, making him want to deepen the kiss.
However, Nalan Chunbo paused when his lips reached her neck. There was a clear scar on her neck. It could still be seen up close even though it had been covered up with foundation.
That was the remnant of his bite.
His heart clenched painfully.
“I’m sorry,” Nalan Chunbo rasped remorsefully, burying his head in her neck.
Wen Shan knew why he was apologizing but she couldn’t stop her tears from flowing when she heard him.
She did not cry when she was bullied or driven away by Nalan Chunbo. She had also remained strong when she decided to give up on him, but she could not hold it in right now. She started sobbing, holding Nalan Chunbo’s neck and letting him embrace her.
It was as if she had been waiting so long for an apology from him, and him saying it so suddenly threw her off guard.
Therefore, she did not have to hold back anymore. She did not have to pretend to be strong.
Nalan Chunbo was initially frightened by her reaction, but immediately felt sorry for her after that. He hugged the person who was crying and trembling in his arms. He wanted to find the words to comfort her but all he could say was sorry.
“You always ignored me,” Wen Shan whimpered. She had visited him in the hotel many times but he always ignored her.
“I’m sorry,” Nalan Chunbo murmured sincerely. At that time, he did not want to have too much communication with women.
“You even drove me away,” Wen Shan continued, sounding aggrieved. “I had been following you around like a crazy person. Do you think I enjoy losing face?”
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” Nalan Chunbo hugged Wen Shan who was struggling in his arms tightly. He gently stroked her head to comfort her.
“You even scolded me and asked me to let go of your hand. You…you…”
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry,” Nalan Chunbo said softly, then kissed her lips gently. He could taste the salt of her tears on her lips.
Wen Shan was suddenly kissed by Nalan Chunbo when she was crying badly. She gasped for air and shoved him back. “I couldn’t breathe!” She screamed at him as he blinked at her with wide eyes.
She hiccupped, tears still flowing down her cheeks. Nalan Chunbo found it endearing, especially the voice she made when she was being bullied. It made people want to…
Nalan Chunbo coughed softly, cheeks reddening. He got up silently and went straight to the bathroom. He then soaked a towel in warm water and came back to help Wen Shan wipe her face. He took care of her like she was a child.
After Wen Shan’s face was clean, Nalan Chunbo slowly ran his thumb over her lips. His movement was so gentle that it made her hold her breath, wondering if he was going to kiss her.
