Chapter 170 - Home
The intensity in Fu Jin's eyes made Jiang Yue gasp in astonishment.
There was something in his eyes that made her… nervous.
She took another step towards him just as he did.
Then his slow steps turned into a stride. His expression unfathomable, like the ache of longing, slowly made its way into his eyes. As if it was something trapped in the chambers of his heart for a long time. A torment that he tried to hide for too long, way too long.
And they met halfway.
Jiang Yue's breath hitched when she noticed that their faces were already less than a feet away from each other. And before she could draw enough air for her body, she melted into his embrace..
Fu Jin's arms folded around her drawing her closer. His big, strong arms were wrapped around her like a cocoon. Making her feel protected and safe.
The warmth of his body enveloped Jiang Yue's cold skin, giving her hope, love and many more emotions she didn't know she could feel at the same time.
The couple hugged each other for a long time as if holding each other wasn't quite enough. As if they needed to feel every ounce of each other's bodies.
This feeling... the feeling of being in each other's arms displayed their raw emotions and raw love.
For Jiang Yue, this was the reason why love was invisible, incomprehensible, undetectable with anything but their minds. It's rawness and boldness.
For her, this feeling was the reason why his hug felt like... home.
Yes.
This was home.
"I missed you." She heard Fu Jin whisper in her ear. "I never thought I could miss someone so badly."
Jiang Yue stifled a laugh, before staring at the man who stole her heart. "Well... Mr. Fu. I happen to feel the same."
Unexpectedly, Fu Jin then leaned down and gave her a peck on the lips. He grabbed her bags and put his arm around her waist. "Let's go?"
Jiang Yue gave him a smile as she whispered. "The next time that you kiss me... make it last."
The old Fu Jin would have blushed the moment she said things like this. However this time, she could see Fu Jin's eyes darken, before he whispered back. "I'm just having a little taste, Mrs. Fu...Don't even think that I won't have a full meal later when we're alone."
Instantly Jiang Yue's eyes sparkled with surprise. Then she giggled.
Oh dear...She missed this guy so much.
Meanwhile, this interaction did not go unnoticed by the people who were walking behind Jiang Yue, including Quan Lei and Zhang Jingchu.
The moment Jiang Yue hugged Fu Jin, everyone looked at Quan Lei's reaction. Even Zhang Jingchu nervously stared at the man that she liked then towards the man that hugged Jiang Yue.
No wonder Jiang Yue wouldn't even look at Quan Lei. Her man was way... way hotter than Quan Lei. As if the two did not stand on the same level at all.
Seeing Fu Jin only made everyone realize how foolish they were for even trying to tease Jiang Yue with Quan Lei before.
They always knew that Jiang Yue was already engaged, yet this had not stop Quan Lei from treating Jiang Yue a little special than all of the girls in his life.
He never thought that seeing Jiang Yue wrapped in someone else's arms would cause him a surge of mixed emotions. Jealousy, anger, frustration, irritation, all of that almost knocked him down like a storm inside his chest.
He instantly lowered his head as he walked opposite ways with Jiang Yue and Fu Jin.
That's right, someone already owned her heart. How come he seemed to forget that, when he started liking her?
How come he even dreamed of her liking him back? With a man as exceptional as Fu Jin, how could Jiang Yue even bother to look at him?
Such a pity.
