Because I Cannot Hurt You

"Lovers?" Zhiyuan was completely stunned when he heard what Xinyi heard outside his parents' room. "Mom and Uncle An were…?"

Xinyi shook her head. "I am not sure. But I heard Dad accusing her of having feelings for Uncle An."

"Wait. Uncle An loved Aunt Zongying. They were in a relationship. How does Mom come into the picture?"

"We know they were old friends, and maybe Mom started to like him. But Mom was hurt by Dad's words and kept denying any ambiguous feelings for him. I believe her…" she pursed her lips, "she sounded really desperate."

Zhiyuan nodded and smiled. "It's okay. Yeah, we need to tread this very carefully."

He paused. "Was this the reason why Mom and Dad separated? Because he misunderstood her?"

"He also accuses her of standing in defence for Uncle An when he drove Aunt to her suicide. That is why he firmly believes that she loves him. She even handed a gift to Shuang because it's Uncle An's birthday today. That's what caused the argument tonight," she sighed.

Zhiyuan's expression was grim. Xinyi sat beside him and held his hand. "Are you alright?" She whispered.

"I am fine. Everything is murky right now, but I think we are getting there. Mom had nothing to do with their breakup. But I think she is the link how Uncle An and Aunt met again years later and then everything went downhill."

She slowly nodded.

Zhiyuan softly flicked her forehead. "You are even more worried about me. Don't be. Zizi and I had already accepted reality when Mom and Dad divorced."

She pursed her lips.

Zhiyuan sighed. Then he grinned and pulled her into his arms. Xinyi slightly widened her eyes in surprise.

"If you feel so sad for me, then how about a kiss?"

"..."

"I will feel much better. The intensity of feeling better will be more if it's on the lips."

"You just said you are fine."

"Now that I think about it, my chest hurts a little."

Her mouth twitched. "You are shameless."

"Call me opportunistic," he innocently said, "I am a businessman, and you have run the Han Corps too. Surely, you know that we don't let go of any chances."

Xinyi cleared her throat and tried to move, but Zhiyuan had firmly secured her waist. "There is no use running, wifey. Your husband feels sad and you are feeling bad seeing him sad. This is the perfect time to console~"

Before she could protest, Zhiyuan held the back of her head and pulled her to kiss her lips. A shiver ran through her spine but soon she felt herself melt as he expertly glided his lips across hers. His tongue wantonly pressed and darted along them, making them wet.

Zhiyuan just wanted a quick peck and stop, but the more he kissed her, the harder he found to stop himself. Like a magnet, he wanted their lips to merge, leaving not even a tiny space between them. Feeling delirious as if he was intoxicated, he sucked her lips between his teeth. It felt absolutely heavenly.

He wanted more. Xinyi, who had turned limp in his arms, clearly wished for the same. 

So their tongues meshed against each, making both of them let out a soft pleasurable moan. He slurped across, making wet sounds along the way, and his fingers danced on her soft skin, making her tremble. 

They panted as they parted away, and their lips glistened with moisture. Xinyi's face was so red that she couldn't meet his gaze at all. That lovely expression earned her another heated kiss from her husband who felt an uncontrollable surge rising within him. 

Xinyi weakly pressed her palm on his chest and pushed him away. "Si-Siying will be coming…"

Zhiyuan lifted her hand and gently kissed the back of it. "How about he sleeps with his Aunt Zizi tonight?"

Her face turned even brighter. Zhiyuan had this urge to eat his wife then and there, but he thought the stimulation might make her faint. She looked like she was ready to run the moment he would loosen his hold over her.

"You... D-Don't forget that I haven't a-accepted your confession…" she bit her lip and looked away.

Zhiyuan seriously said, "I know, and I have got a great idea. How about I use my body to prove my sincerity and feelings?"

"..."

He sheepishly grinned. "You can do whatever you want with me. I am in your hands~"

"..."

"You can tie me up too if you wish and do all sorts of unspeakable things to your helpless husband."

"!!!"

He pushed her on the bed and got on top of her. She sharply gasped, pinned between his arms. He smiled. "Don't worry. I won't eat you tonight. But…"

His fingers slid inside her dress, and he meaningfully smiled. "We can still do something else."

She trembled as she felt the touch of his fingers on her thigh that were slowly inching deeper. He leaned and chomped on her ear lobe. He huskily whispered her name and grazed his tongue on her neck.

A while later, they both were panting, their clothes disheveled and messy just like their breaths making their chests heaving up and down. Zhiyuan felt the wetness on his fingers as Xinyi climaxed. He licked it, and she blushed hard. 

They laid beside each other, and she buried her crimson face in his chest. 

"Xinyi."

"Shut up."

He had an urge to laugh. "Xinyi."

"Don't talk to me."

"You don't have to feel embarrassed that you enjoyed it- ow, ow, ow!"

Xinyi pinched his waist hard, stopping him from saying anything else. "You want to say something?"

There was a hint of warning in her tone. Zhiyuan got the message.

He cleared his throat. "Nothing."

"So sleep."

He pitifully asked, "Are you mad at me?"

Silence.

Xinyi was just feeling bashful. She wasn't really angry.

"Sleep."

"Where is my goodnight kiss?"

Xinyi finally looked up and glared at him. "You have done more than just a goodnight kiss. You are still unsatisfied?"

He coughed. "Alright…" his tone was a little downcast.

But then he felt a soft sensation on his cheek. "Good night. Now if you speak another word, I will leave this room."

Zhiyuan brightened with her kiss. But she had already shut her eyes, apparently deep asleep.

He chuckled and whispered.. "Good night, Xinyi."
