She opened her mouth to protest then , only to be captured by his hungry lips . Wei didn't hold back this time . He poured in all his yearning for her in that kiss . He let his lips learn the shape of hers, discover the texture, the taste…
Jia Li went from gut wrenching pain to a confused racing heart in a matter of seconds . She had been grateful for Wei's attempt at comfort . In fact, her affection starved mind and soul had welcomed his ministrations . But her heart wasn't ready for a swirl of new emotions which it was experiencing ever since his lips touched hers . She had no space for anything or anyone else at this moment . This had to stop now!
She unclenched her palms which had been resting on his chest and gave him a firm push . Wei's mind had sensed her resistance even before her hands gave him the shove . Flicking her lips with his own one last time, he disengaged and stepped back to look at her . Relieved to see some colour back on her face, he placed a finger on her lips, indicating that he didn't want to discuss or rehash what had just occurred between them .
She was grateful for it because her conflicting emotions were too raw currently for her to make any sense out of them . He leaned over to strap her back in the seat belt before shutting the door and going back to his side . They reached Wei's house in no time . Jia Li alighted the car before he could come around and help her with the same . Looking at her urgency to do so, he flashed her a wicked grin . He wanted her to know that he understood her actions and was happy that his proximity was affecting her .
"You are back? I thought by now, you would have taken the recently vacated place next to Tang . I do feel bad for Mei Zhen but I need to look out for my family welfare first . Please tell me that you are here to collect your luggage and move to Xie mansion asap," Mrs . Wang's poisonous words pierced Jia Li's fragile composure .
Lowering her eyes, she said, "I am sorry for causing you trouble with my presence here, Aunt Wang . I promise to move out as soon as I can . "
With that, she went upstairs towards the room allocated to her .
Wei thought of going after her but decided that other matters needed his immediate attention .
Turning his blazing eyes towards his mother, he said, "let's talk . "
His mother clamped her lips together with displeasure . She had wanted to say more to that woman rather than have her son defend and argue on her behalf .
"I don't wish to speak with you if you are going to only blabber in that chit's defence," she announced .
"No, I am done giving you explanations . I just want you to know that Jia Li and I shall be moving out of here first thing tomorrow . Until then, I request you to behave civilly," he replied coldly .
"Are you telling me that you are going to leave your house for that s***? Have you completely lost your head? Next, you will announce that you are leaving the business as well and shifting to that wilderness," she shouted at him .
"Well, to be honest, I hadn't thought that far yet but the idea of living in Moganshan doesn't sound bad," he goaded her .
Mrs . Wang wanted to pull her hair in frustration . She had hoped that Mei Zhen's announcement would have sent Jia Li running back to Xie Tang . After all, he was the one she still loved . But that cunning woman had come back with Wei . Was she playing hard to get with Tang or had she set her greedy sights on Wei now? In either situation, Mrs . Wang didn't want her anywhere near her family . Her husband had proven useless once again in his conduct earlier . He had almost welcomed the chit to the house as if she was the prospective bride . Darn these men!!
"Wei, you are my only child and I have tried to accommodate every wish of yours since you were a child . In return, I haven't ever asked for anything . But today I just want to beg you to not trash the prestige and values of the Wang family by associating yourself with that…err, with Lin Jia Li . Can you please accord this request of mine? I promise never to ask for anything else ever again from you," she tried the pleading tact with him .
Listening to Mrs . Wang beg her son in such a manner broke Jia Li's heart all over again .
