Yu Chen froze upon feeling the slender arms wrapped around his waist. When he felt something soft and warm pressing against his back, his heart started beating erratically and in just a matter of seconds, he felt his body temperature rise into what seemed to be close to boiling point.

  "X-xiaolei?" Yu Chen called out as he held her hands. He turned to look at her when to his surprise, the girl suddenly crashed her lips to his, catching him totally off guard.

  She felt his sharp intake of breath so she held back. Her kisses became careful, gentle even, as if she was giving him a moment to adjust or rather, prepare himself for something that was about to come.

  Her delicate butterfly kisses made Yu Chen’s brain light on fire. He didn’t even realize that Luo Xiaolei was making him step back until he felt his legs hit the edge of the bed.

  Then, Luo Xiaolei gently pushed him down onto it. She didn’t even exert any strength because the man was obediently moving along, meekly following her lead, like a leaf moving along with the direction of the wind.

  After an immeasurable amount of time, Yu Chen found himself kissing her back and that he was already lying on the bed with her straddling him.

  Yu Chen couldn’t even think anymore. The warmth spread throughout his entire body. He didn’t want the kiss to end. But the soft gentle kisses became firmer. Her warm tongue intensely played tag with his like never before and Yu Chen’s body went rigid with surprise.

  When their lips parted for air, Yu Chen was breathless.

  "X-xiaolei……" he uttered for the second time but Luo Xiaolei kissed him again. Her kisses were getting more and more fiery and Yu Chen could hardly handle it.

  As Luo Xiaolei pulled her mouth away, Yu Chen’s chest heaved up and down with his rapid breaths, but before he could even open his eyes, he felt her lips on his neck.

  Yu Chen felt like he was electrocuted. Her lips on her skin felt like electricity jolting his senses back to life.

  "Xiaolei…… wait……" he called out once again. The moment Luo Xiaolei kissed him, Yu Chen already smelled a faint scent of alcohol. Even though she clearly brushed her teeth, he could still tell that she had consumed some alcohol. He thought that the girl was just giving him another chance to have a review before they went to sleep but her intensity and the look in her eyes tonight made him realize that there was something not quite right and that she was up to something.

  "Xiaolei……" he called out for the fourth time and when the girl still didn’t stop, he lifted his hands and held her shoulders. He gently pushed her to stop because he knew that if he let her continue, he might lose his mind.

  "W-why are you stopping me? Didn’t you promise to be obedient to your teacher?" There were indescribable emotions in Luo Xiaolei’s eyes as she asked him. Just by gazing at her eyes at that moment, Yu Chen could just tell that there was really something off about her tonight.

  "You’re drunk. I can’t let you teach me when you’re drunk."

  "I’m not drunk. I just sipped a little amount of beer a while ago but trust me, I am not drunk. Three gulps of alcohol will not affect my rationality at all." She explained and Yu Chen could somehow tell that she was saying the truth.

  "B-but –"

  Yu Chen just uttered one word and Luo Xiaolei leaned in to kiss him again but this time, Yu Chen didn’t let her.

  "Xiaolei, please stop."

  "We’re not stopping Yu Chen! We have to do this!"

  The words Luo Xiaolei said made Yu Chen’s eyes narrow in confusion. His brows pulled together as he looked at her with questions in his eyes.

  "Xiaolei, what do you mean?" he asked, gazing intently at her, demanding an answer. He could see that she suddenly seemed desperate and it was making him feel so bothered and confused.

  "I’m……" she hesitated for a moment but afterwards the determination in her eyes intensified again. "I’m ready to give you an heir, Yu Chen." She said, her voice firm and decisive.

  Yu Chen’s already dry throat became even drier as he stared at her. He was utterly shocked.

  "You heard what grandpa said?" he asked. The look in his eyes drastically changed.

  Luo Xiaolei saw a glint of sadness in his eyes and she didn’t know why but she felt like her heart was struck by something sharp. She didn’t know if what she was seeing wasn’t just her imagine but…… she had already decided.

  When Luo Xiaolei nodded at him, Yu Chen looked even sadder.

  "Xiaolei, you don’t have to do this……" he said. His voiceiwas so weak it’s almost inaudible.

  "Why can’t I?!"

  "How about your dream?" he asked. Luo Xiaolei looked away for a split second before she answered.

  "It’s okay." She replied but Yu Chen shook his head.

  "No, it’s not okay."

  "I’m telling you, it’s okay!"

  "No, Xiaolei…… you can’t –"

  "Why can’t I?! You are always saving me so why can’t I?!"

  "You are doing this because you think that you owe me your life and that you feel obliged to do this and save me as well?"

  When Luo Xiaolei couldn’t answer, Yu Chen’s eyes screamed in pain. He knew there was something off with her tonight but he never imagined it would be because of this. He was a little shocked but also quite hurt by this series of events. He closed his eyes. He didn’t know why he was so hurt. In fact, shouldn’t he be happy? Happy that his fiancée wanted to take things to the next level?

  But it seemed like her reason for doing it was the cause of his pain, after all. He didn’t want her to give herself to him on the basis of needing an heir. He wanted more than that. He needed more than that. He wanted her heart and soul, not just her body. What she did tonight felt like a knife in his heart.
