"You said you don't do pecks, but I don't mind giving you one . " Lu Xinyi looked at everywhere but him .
"I didn't say I dislike them . I don't mind receiving them from you . So feel free to give me some whenever you feel like doing it . " he whispered . His lips tingle abit where she'd kissed him .
"That's good to hear . " She gave him a shy smile and refused to meet his eyes again . "Let's call it a night, shall we?" she awkwardly replied . She was still embarrassed that she kissed him .
It was their first kiss as husband and wife .
"Come, I'll show you our room . " Shen Yi released her from being trapped .
Lu Xinyi blinked and was taken aback .
Wait . Did he just say their room?
They're going to share a room?
She was panicking inside but still followed her husband as he walked upstairs with her luggage on his hand .
Lu Xinyi estimated that his house could be at least three hundred square meters . He didn't have much furniture just like what he got on his suite on the cruise ship . What he had here though were smartly decorated and did have functions for his daily living .
With the spacious area within the living room, connected to the kitchen and dining room . Mallows and Milk Tea can easily play and walked around the house . Once they reached the second floor, she saw four rooms .
"The room on the end of the hall is my study . This room . . " pointing on the nearest room on the stairs, "Is my room . You can choose between those two vacant rooms . "
"Ohh?"
So they wouldn't share a room?
"Say, Xinyi . Did you just think that we will sleep on the same bed?" He teased her again . "Oh, my . Didn't know you really wanted to jump on me at any given chance . "
His brows flickered up and down in tease .
Lu Xinyi was caught by surprise and didn't react . It took her several seconds before it sinked on her what he had said .
"Your shamelessness astounds me," She huffed before taking her luggage from his hand and walked towards the vacant room next to his study .
"Lu Xinyi," Shen Yi followed her, took her chin and tilted it up so she could look at him . Her brown eyes wide as she stared back on his with an innocent face . "Never forget that I see you as a woman . "
They stared on each other's eyes for three seconds before he felt her pushing him away .
Shen Yi was left in the hallway grinning like an idiot . Her expression was priceless and he couldn't get enough of her .
After Lu Xinyi closed her door, she slowly leaned her back on it . She let go of her luggage and Shen Yi's shirt . She let her knees gave way and slid down in a squatting position on the floor . Hiding her face in her folded arms, she took a deep breath and sighed .
In the privacy of her own space, Lu Xinyi tried to slow down the pace of her heartbeat .
"Shen Yi, what am I going to do with you?"
---
Shen Yi opened his room and threw himself on his massive bed . Staring up on the ceiling, he wondered how Lu Xinyi could change his boring and lifeless life now that they were married .
He liked teasing her but he knew whenever he spent more time with her, his self-control was put on a test . What would be her reaction if he told her he desires her?
In just a week, Shen Yi couldn't believe that she had this much effect on him . Although right now all he wanted to do is to hold her in his arms and protect her from anyone who wants to hurt her, Shen Yi restrained himself .
He will not force himself to Lu Xinyi . Not like this . She just got over from a heartbreak and still vulnerable . She needed more time to heal and to move on . Maybe if he'd met her earlier and didn't have to do a contractual marriage, he could fall in love with her first before marrying her .
There was no point on musing on what ifs . He couldn't change anything but go with the flow . Hoping that whatever tomorrow brings to them, Lu Xinyi wouldn't lose her smile .
