"Are you still mad?" She asked looking at his back while he was taking his coat off. Since the moment they had left the convention center, he hadn't said a single word to her. It felt like he was giving her a cold shoulder.

He turned to look at her with a mischievous glint in his eyes as he unbuttoned the first 2 buttons of his shirt giving her peek of his hard chest. Xu Mey's eyes instantly darted to his chest as she felt her ears heating up again. "I told you that I'm not angry anymore." He replied to her with a serious face.

Xu Mey bit on her bottom lip and said, "But you didn't hold my hand."

Ye Jie's brows quirked up when he heard her barely audible voice. "What difference does that make whether I hold your hand or not? You don't need my support anyway."

Xu Mey lifted her head to look at him. She walked in front of him and said, "Who said I don't need your support? And who said that I don't want you to hold my hand?" She took his hand and held it tightly while she placed her other hand on his chest. "I need this hand to walk ahead. I could have easily lived without holding it before. But now, I can't do it anymore. Ah Jie, I like you."

Ye Jie was stunned to his spot. He looked at her clear black eyes and his heart shook terribly. "Baby, what did you just say?" He thought he was hallucinating and he needed to hear it again to believe it.

Xu Mey pursed her lips and said, "I never wanted anyone to invade my life at all. And I never planned to like you as well. But you made me lose my control on my own heart. And I don't know when I started liking you so much. Ah Jie, I grew too used to this hand of yours in mine. Please, don't let me feel cold again. I really do like you a lot."

Seeing that Ye Jie was frozen. She mustered up some courage to tip-toe and initiate a kiss at the side of his lips. But before she could pull away, he immediately reacted and held her neck with his hand. He angled her head and molded their lips together as if they were always meant to be a part of each other. His kiss was tantalizing and sweet. Xu Mey instantly clung to his body with her arms around his neck.

He showered her with kisses on her jaw and pulled away a bit to ask, "Baby, can you say it one more time?"

Xu Mey didn't know where the courage came from but instead of answering him, she caught his soft lips between her own and her teeth opened on their own volition to bite his lower lip. While her teeth were drawing his lower lip, she was drawing his body closer to her own. She broke away to take a breath and said, "I like you, Ah Jie!"

He smiled pleasantly and dipped his head to smother her lips again making her quiver. She felt like floating in the air. He tasted divine to her- a taste she couldn't put in words. As for his scent, she was already addicted to that. His lips were warm and moist but his tongue was demanding while playing with the seam of her lips before exploring the recess of her mouth.

His hand was also moving all over her body from her back to her waist and to her hips. He has trapped her as if scared to lose her. And he was really scared. He was scared that she would vanish from right within his grasp and he didn't want that.

"Can you repeat it one more time, baby?" He said against her lips making her chuckle.

She placed her hands on both sides of his face and said, "I like you... I like you... I like you a lot..." Ye Jie was so contented that he kissed her hard and swooped her off her feet.

As he set her back on the ground, he caressed her cheek with the back of his hand and said, "Baby," his voice was deep and husky. "Did I tell you that you're looking gorgeous tonight?"

Xu Mey pouted and replied, "You did not."

Ye Jie smiled and planted a kiss at the space between her brows saying, "You're the most gorgeous person at the party."

"Just at the party?" Xu Mey didn't know why she asked that. But she found her reason when she heard his answer.

He touched her forehead with his own as the tip of their nose brushed together. He looked straight into her eyes and said, "You're the most gorgeous person in my life, baby." She started blushing as her rosy cheeks got even rosier.

She playfully punched his chest and said, "As I say, you really have a sweet mouth."

He hugged her closer to himself and let himself fall at the bed behind him with her in his embrace. Xu Mey yelped a bit but relaxed when his hands tightened around her body. He buried his face in her neck and inhaled deeply. "It's all your own fault." Xu Mey didn't understand that he meant to say that it was her presence that made him a sweet talker.
