CHAPTER 119

"So that is my answer, Liu Xueyi. I may sound wicked and all, but that is it. I was hurt most by everything."

"Hmm, a complicated answer but it is okay. I understand you."

"Thanks."

"However, what pains me the most, sorry to say, is actually how well Wu Bai used you. Like really. He used your talents so much."

She could see it in his eyes, that he was pissed by everything. Anyone who heard all of this would be pissed.

"I know. I cannot really kill him for it. At a point in time, I reduced the designs I sent him."

"Good."

"After all, since Beatrice is the best, she should trend herself, but when the company began to drop, he persuaded me again."

She shook her head, resting it against her palm as she sighed in frustration.

Both of them kept quiet for a long while and no one spoke while they battled with their worries.

"Hey."

"Hmm," slowly she turned her head to face him, only to be met with a mischievous smirk on his face.

"Liu Xueyi," Andromeda called out cautiously.

Nothing could be good from having the boss of mischief look at her that way.

Before she could figure out what he was thinking about, he lifted his body from the couch and sat very close to her as his fingers immediately made their mark on her sides.

Liu Xueyi did not know if she was ticklish, but he recalled that night when touched her mistakenly and she giggled.

This time around, Andromeda wasted no time in falling straight back on the couch as Liu Xueyi ducked, tickling at her sides to his heart's content.

"Hahhaa, Liu Xueyi stop it, hahhaa…"

For the next few minutes, he kept up with his torturous game on her skin, making her a huge laughing mess.

For the first time since he had known her, this was the only time Liu Xueyi was seeing so much glee in those eyes and her face generally.

It made his heart swell up heavily and heaven knew he was so glad to finally be able to see such a sight in her.

And also glad that for the first time in his life, he was genuinely happy while making someone else happy.

The second his mind thought of that, a flash of one time when he was sincerely happy came rushing into his mind and his actions stopped abruptly.

Taking his distraction to her advantage, Andromeda pulled his hand from her side, yanking it up where she could hold it to rescue herself from his attacks.

Her big mistake.

Sadly, for her, as much as she wished to save herself, she forgot she did not have the strength to keep him suspended and hovering.

To both of their surprise, he fell face flat on her with lips touching each other lightly.

Seconds seemed to have passed slowly as none of them took the initiative to move and remained there, staring wide-eyed at each other.

If someone was to walk in and see the scene, one would think a happy couple was busy making out in the living room.

It took a while but trying to be a gentleman, Liu Xueyi moved his head back.

His breaths quickened as he stared into those luscious blue eyes of hers.

The very ones that had succeeded in pulling his heart and capturing his mind.

The more he gazed into her eyes, the quicker her chest rose and fell with rapid breaths even though his chest was well pressed on hers.

"Xueyi."

Thanks to his fall, she succeeded in pulling him from a memory he would not wish to visit anytime.

"Hmm."

"You..."

Her voice trailed off, biting her lips when she felt his hand leave hers, trailing smoothly down the side of her face till they wandered sideways to her lips.

Andromeda took in a sharp breath when she felt him shift into a comfortable position between her legs.

Her eyes blinked in confusion about what her brain was thinking at that moment.

Subconsciously she did not know when she bit down on her lower lips, feeling a glimpse of how she had felt that night.

At first, she felt as though it was due to the whole scandal problem going around but now when she put her mind to it, it wasn't.

She really loved it when they were close this way.

As much as she wished not to agree with that, she could not deny that even in this crisis when she chose not to meet anyone, it was only him her heart wished to see.

"Lovely," he whispered on her lips, grazing his thumb gently around the edges.

He peeled his gaze from her lips, resuming their staring contest but this time in a more lovely and admiring manner.

His eyes held the stars in them.

As dark as they were, the pull she got was like one going to be drowned in an endless abyss.

Dangerous but surprisingly lovely.

To her, it felt like she was dining with the devil himself.

No matter how cringing that should make her feel, she loved the danger.

Scratch that, in this case, Andromeda felt she was the beautiful incarnation of danger and he was a dark angel.

She couldn't stop if she wanted to. Neither could she do anything to stop him.

Not that she wanted to anyway. She could already tell where this was going and she welcomed it willingly.

But for some reason, he was being careful not to give her what she yearned for.

The more he looked at her, the quicker the flashes of that night played over and over again in his head.

It did not help that he had watched the full video because when he once recalled that night, he couldn't see her face but now that he knew who it was, he could envision every aspect of it.

More than anything, Liu Xueyi wished he could do everything they did that day again.

Quickly, his mind and body connected and he began to feel himself harden little by little from the thought.

'Damn it. Not now. I don't want her to think of me as a pervert.' He grumbled in his mind.

Sensing a problem due to how distracted his gaze was, Andromeda felt something had gone wrong and she panicked.

She did not want this… the closeness to end. The warmth, the feeling of completion and the rightness within to stop.

With that, she did the only things she could do. Call his name.

"Xueyi."

The moment he heard her sonorous voice calling out his name so tenderly, he was overcome by his own desires and the need to feel those lips again.

His intense gaze swept back up to her eyes before flickering over her lips, taking in a slow breath, hoping for her not to stop him.

With their eyes still opened, Liu Xueyi leaned down completely, bringing his lips inches away from hers.

Her breathing stilled and she waited… waited for that very union.

The second their lips touched she felt a bolt of electricity surging through her as she parted her lips accepting his.

Finally joined, Andromeda fluttered her eyes to a close, bringing her hands down as she glided through his shoulder and let one come to a stop on his chest.
