223 I'm not Hungry

When Xin Yong arrived home, it was already quite late. She hurried into the living room, only to see Jin Yue walking towards the door. The T.V displayed a news channel and a plate of fruits was lying abandoned on the floor.

Xin Yong knew that he had been waiting for her.

Worry was written all over his face as he approached her, his hair looked disheveled and his eyes dull, as though he had stared at the T.V for so long.

''What kept you so long?''

Xin Yong ignored his question, closing the gap between them, she hugged him tightly. She nestled her head in his chest and shut her eyes.

Although she did not do anything wrong, she didn't know why she felt like she had cheated on him. Maybe it was because Freya's husband touched her lips, but he innocently wanted to remove a stain from her face right?.

She shouldn't feel bad about it, besides, his wife was there. After the birthday, she would tell him about it, but for now, she had to put it at the back of her mind.

Jin Yue hugged her back and placed a tender kiss on her hair, taking in her scent. She smelled different_ but he did not think much of it.

He figured that she might be very tired, so he didn't interrupt their moment.

''Work was very hectic today, but I'm sure tomorrow would be better.''

Xin Yong forced the lie through her teeth after a while. She was not used to lying to him, so she felt awkward. After the surprise, she would explain everything. Yeah, two days more…

''Let's go in, I want to take a shower.''

Jin Yue nodded and took out her slippers from the shoe rack and placed it in front of her.

''Go shower, let me heat some food for you.''

''No, I'm not hungry.''

Xin Yong said before she realized what it meant, she bit her tongue and cursed beneath her breath.

She had just told him that she had been busy all day, how would she say she was not hungry? That was clearly punching one's self in the face.

There was silence between the two for a few seconds; the atmosphere became awkward as Jin Yue stared at her with a small frown, seemingly perturbed.

''Eh… I'll just heat it myself, I don't want you to stress yourself.''

This was getting out of hand, Xin Yong knew that she was not good at telling lies and the look on his face told her that he knew she was lying.

'Heating food for you is not stressful, now would you go in and take a shower?''

The initial suspicion she saw written on his face disappeared as soon as it came, Xin Yong couldn't tell whether he believed her or not. However, she was happy that he did not press on it. Smiling, she pecked him on the lips and rushed to the bathroom to take a shower, heaving a sigh of relief.

Jin Yue, who had been waiting for her to return, ate well. He noticed that she didn't eat much but still did not press on it.

Xin Yong cleared the dishes afterwards and joined him in the bedroom. The events of that night had made the atmosphere a bit awkward between them, Xin Yong sensed that he was disturbed but yet he couldn't ask her what was wrong.

She did not know how to ease the tension between them, but she knew of something that would work perfectly.

When she came into the room, Jin Yue was sitting with his legs stretched out on the bed, playing with his phone. He noticed that she had walked in but he did not raise his eyes.

Xin Yong walked over to the side of his bed and slowly sat on his legs, making her butt comfortable.

Jin Yue creased his brows and looked up at her, who at that moment had her eyes peering at him, seductively. Her pajamas' first three buttons were undone which exposed a generous amount of her succulent breasts.

Jin Yue felt his groins heating up; he struggled hard to swallow a gulp.

''What's wrong?''

He forced himself to ask, he knew that look, but he pretended to be oblivious.

Xin Yong pouted and gently took the phone away from his hands, placing it on the drawer by the side, her hands moved to her shirt and she slowly unbuttoned the remaining buttons, all the while, holding his gaze.

''I'm hungry.'' Her voice was tempting and alluring, her shirt fell away as she spoke and she slowly inched closer to him, shifting her gaze to his lips.

That was the first time she had gone out of her way to seduce him, how could he resist?
