LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS 501 The Binary Star

But the most pleasant thing for her now was the fact of her being in the embrace of Yuanjun whom she had loved forever and his overwhelming scent that tickled her nostrils. There were many a days she had dreamed for this intimacy between them and tonight her dream came true.

His hand was holding the small of her back as she was resting on his other arm. She placed her hand on his chest that was raising up and down with his breathing.

Ah! Finally!

She smiled as she kissed his lips that were so perfect. She couldn't help it. She thought he was sleeping but even before her lips left his, she was pinned under him, as she was kissed deeply and was only let go after a while.

"Not sleeping?" his coarse voice was more manlier than ever and she couldn't help but give him a peck in his lips, wrapping her arms around his neck.

He let out a chuckle like the low rumbling of thunder and placed himself between her legs while kissing her and they proceeded to another round of their horizontal tango.

As they were indulging in their desires, Yuanjun could feel that connection they had for lifetimes. For some reason he could say, she felt that too.

Could she remember our past too? Should I ask her? And I have to talk to her about the tomb too.

As both of them lied limply after their bout of heavy workout, he gently caressed her hair as she lied on his chest while he was lying on his back.

"Manman, do you know why I quit my job?" he looked at her and she looked back at him curiously.

"You will not laugh, will you?" he asked knowing what he is about to say might make him end up in mental asylum.

"No, tell me," she placed her chin over her hand and blinked her eyes prettily. She really was curious.

" I had dreams... Dreams where I was an Emperor, ruling this empire known as Wind Kingdom," he paused to look at her whose eyes were widened and her expression, trying to be calm.

" Oh, that's great...! Was... I... your Empress?" she asked. It seemed like she was trying to control her emotions and appear to be calm and casual but she couldn't hold herself back and asked this question.

"You weren't there," he said bluntly and proceeded to explain everything he remembered about Mingxia and Mo Chen pretending to not notice her disappointed expression.

"Not interested?" he asked as she rolled to his side and lied in the pillow, leaving his embrace. She really looked dejected.

'Jealousy is a powerful tool, isn't it?' he thought. He thought it won't be easy to get her to speak the truth if she really got her past life memories too and so he tried to use this underhanded means.

" I don't think that... Mingxia... was in love with you," she said and by now Yuanjun was eighty percent sure that she remembers their past life. But she looked so sad that he didn't remember her and so he decided to not bring it up again.

"Yeah, I'm sure she did not," he agreed. "I don't care about those dreams even if it was my past life. You are with me now and this is enough. I only love you," he kissed her and assured her.

Li Xueman on the other hand was really surprised that he got his memories and that too only recently but her surprise was overcame by her jealousy, that he only remembered Mingxia. But when he assured that he only loved her, she believed him. She knew it deep in her heart too. And she found herself to be hypocritical. He opened up to her and told her the truth but she still is hiding her truth.

So she decided to tell him, like it was someone else's story. She wanted to see if he might remember her.

"Shall I tell you a story Yuanjun? Something I read somewhere?" she asked and he lied on his side and looked at her, who was looking at the roof. As he heard her telling her side of the story, he felt his heart clench.

" There once was a girl, " she started, "who was not well treated in her home and she was sent to marry the Emperor of the neighbouring kingdom. The moment she saw the Emperor, her husband, she fell in love with him. He was the kindest and good soul she had ever known in her life and she really loved him. But she never had the confidence to get close to him and tell her feelings. She hid from him and only wanted to look him from afar. She knew for her with no support, that was the wisest thing to do. But one day, the Emperor came to her at night to stay and even took her first kiss. She couldn't hold back her love for him and yet hid it. Later they got closer, and she was the only woman he visited in his harem but she never told him her feelings ever. He treated her the best and she had the best life one could imagine in the harem. She could feel his love and his position and past, stopped him from confessing and she didn't confess either... She was scared to lose him. And so she lied... Till she died. She even lied to him which led to her death. She died looking at his devastated face knowing that her death is going to be a big blow for him... Still she didn't tell him she loved him and expected him to tell her first... "

Her throat closed and she couldn't continue and she turned to look at him whose eyes were red.

" Yuanjun? " she asked wiping his tears. "Why?"

Why is he sad? He remembered me?

He held her hand and kissed it.

" That man was stupid wasn't he? All he had to do was just confess to her but he refused to. He didn't give her the title of Empress and let her feel insecure. He deserved any suffering he went through after she was no more.. "

"No..." she interjected, "He had lost a lot and it is understandable he..."

"He was the effing Emperor and he couldn't even confess his love and let his woman die miserably!He is not worthy to be called a..."

"Yuanjun!" Li Xueman closed his mouth and she looked a bit angry. She didn't like him feeling this way.

"It was an ectopic pregnancy and if I had listened to the physician, I might have survived. I tried to have your child, so that I would have a permanent bond with you. It was my fault, not yours. I thought I was fine with not really knowing your exact feelings for me but deeply I wanted some assurance. I'm sorry I hurt you for my selfishness. And even now, I hid my feelings and wanted you to confess to me first. I'm so selfish! I'm sorry"

Without her realising she had told him that she remembers her past and he understood her side.

"Exactly!" he sat up, "I never gave you the assurance. I treasured the children I had with another woman while refusing to have a child with you and I never told you my feelings. You were a mere Consort in that big, scary place who had no support other than me and yet, I was the one who hurt you the most. Even this life... I never realised my feelings for you and let you suffer... All these years you had to fight alone... I'm sorry "

He pulled her to his embrace and both of them stayed in each other's embrace for some time.

After sometime both of them started laughing realising they are talking about unimportant things. What both of them said are true and both if them were stupid in their previous life but they now have this entire life to cherish each other and both of them is going in the right direction now.

" How silly of us! "

" When did you remember? " he asked eyeing her with lust as he saw the sheet she was covering her chest has slipped down now.

She really is stacked!

Realising his perverted eyes, Xueman looked down and immediately covered her chest, glaring at him. She really didn't have the energy to go for another round. This man is a beast!

"Fine!"

He graciously allowed her to rest in his arms not to have his way once again. They still have the rest of their lives for that.

"After I left this home..." she continued, leaning on his chest.

"I was so used to spy on you with the telescope and after I left here, I was so bored and one day I looked at the sky, trying to find some stars... And then I found it one day... Alberio... The binary star... One red and another blue... The moment I saw it, I felt some sort of connection with those stars and the memories of the past came to me, " she looked at him who was chuckling.

" That Mingxia! " he couldn't control his laughter.

"She really got what she wanted!"

He remembered in his last dream, he actually was in some other place? Was it that star?

He then explained what she said one day when they were having a drink together.

"Really?" Li Xueman was really surprised. Mingxia... She really is a character!

"And she got us what we wanted too"

Xueman added and Yuanjun nodded in agreement.

Both of them chatted for sometime since they didn't want to fall asleep as it was already four o'clock in the morning by then.

But Yuanjun fell asleep and Xueman with a smile decided to get ready for her job.

She felt the room was smaller than what she remembered it to be. She dismissed it as she thought that since she grew up, her room might seem to have shrinked.

She went and was surprised to see a couple of toothbrushes and the same brand if soap and shampoo she uses already there and humming her favourite song, took a shower and decided to go back to her apartment to change her clothes before going to her office.

She wrapped herself in a clean towel neatly folded in the bathroom and wrapped it around her and got out of the bathroom to get stopped by an iron wall.

She rubbed her nose and looked up to see Yuanjun grinning, clearly expecting something and she pushed him away.

"I have to go..."

Her lips were captured by him and he only let go after he made a hickey at her neck. There were already some marks of the fun night they had and he brought her to the closet in the room.

When he opened the closet for her, she stood flabbergasted. She could see why her room looked small. It was because the closet has doubled in size.

There were racks full of formal wear and casual wear and party wear with matching shoes and bags and there was a small portion for his clothes too.

"Are you planning to be my sugar daddy?" she asked amazed as she saw the tags.

They all are expensive! And up-to-date fashion!

"Sugar daddy?" he frowned. "Am I that old to be a daddy?"

Seeing her laughing, she grabbed her by her waist, "In fact, I have spent all my money on this house and clothes and I am penniless now. So I need a sugar momma. Will you be my sugar momma?" he asked and she with her entire face red pushed him away and went on to choose her outfit.

"You might want to wear a turtleneck today..." he suggested and she looked at the full-size mirror and pouted seeing the marks all over her.

"Manman..." he called with a pouty face as she pushed him out for her to change.

"Get out," she tried to push him away but he stood there like a mountain.. Unmovable.

"Manman... Make me your assistant or secretary. I have no job!"

"What? The fourth Lu Young master is not worthy to become the secretary of little old me!" she was actually confused by his sudden proposal.

Is he serious?

"Manman... Give me a job or be my sugar momma," he gave her an ultimanium.

"Did you really spend all your money?" she asked. It is possible since he was just a professor for some years and the property values are high here and she knew he must have spent a lot to buy this place.

"Yes!" he nodded heavily.

In fact he still had a lot of money left. His job paid a lot and he has royalties from a book he published which is pretty famous in the History community. Also he receives a hefty amount as red packets every new year from his parents and also brothers. Also his brothers thought since he was a professor, he is paid so less that it would be hard for him to make ends meet and each would secretly send him a million Yuan each month. He really didn't spend that much since he never had a girlfriend and how much can one spend for food? His clothes were all sent to him by his third brother and his rent was paid by his father till now. He literally had no need to spend money till now.

"Are you stupid?" she chided him and there was a little sadness in her eyes that he had spent all his money on her.

"Try to find a decent job. I'll talk to uncle to get you a good job. You don't need to be a secretary," she kissed his cheek.

"But I wanna be YOUR secretary...." he filled her like her tail.

"I'll... Think it through," she shut the door and he stood outside with a grin.

'My wife is a CEO and I'll be her secretary! Just like in romance novels'

Just then he heard his phone ring. It was Yanchen's wife.

Whoops! I entirely forgot about that guy I kidnapped!
