...

In the morning, Su Xiang woke up to the sound of someone entering the bedroom. She sat up, noticing that Xun Zichen stood near the door, still shirtless. He quickly glanced away. "Sorry," he said, and she realized that she was still half-naked herself.

She lifted the bedsheets over her chest, flushing.

He walked towards the dresser. "I have to get my shirt," he said awkwardly. He stumbled on the way, and Su Xiang smiled. He didn't know how to act around her. She didn't know either.

Things were still left unsaid. But the memory of their kiss lingered.

His back faced her when he searched through his clothes; his muscles flexed the tattooed Phoenix on his back.

"When did you get that?" Su Xiang asked him, astonished.

Xun Zichen was scanning his dresser for a dress shirt to wear. "I had a few sessions over the last two months," he answered.

"Why?" she questioned.

Xun Zichen didn't answer, still looking for a fresh pair of clothes. "I have work today," he told her instead.

Su Xiang stood up from the bed, walking towards him from behind.

Xun Zichen didn't see her coming. He stood still when he felt her fingers run on the planes of his back. He winced.

"Does it still hurt?" she asked him.

"Not much anymore," he replied. Su Xiang's cold hand touched his back, feelings his inked skin. The Phoenix stretched its wings across his shoulder blades; the claws barred at the dip of his back. Red-orange flames were surrounding the creature, ignited but not burning.

They both didn't establish how they felt about each other. But Su Xiang felt her desire surge at the sight of him. She circled his back, hugging him from behind. He kissed her last night, and that was more than she expected, more than she could have asked for, and yet, it wasn't enough.

But she ran away for a good reason. It was because they would have gone all the way.

She was jealous of Yu Haoran because she had him in a way that she possibly couldn't.

Xun Zichen paused, turning his head over his shoulder slightly.

He felt her bare breasts pressed on his back, and he was already trying to control the burning fire within him that he suppressed what he almost unleashed with her on the kitchen counter.

"Xi," he called out.

"Mhm?" Su Xiang replied.

"I鈥擨'm going to call off the engagement," he told her.

Su Xiang's eyes widened, her mouth gaped. He was no longer facing her, only the dresser ahead of them.

"Why?" she asked. Though she knew the answer, she wanted to hear it.

"It's not fair to you if I am still engaged to another woman while my heart yearns for you," he admitted.

It's true. Su Xiang would let him take her on the cold kitchen countertop then and there, had he not been promised to someone else.

"Are you sure?" she asked him cautiously.

"Yes," he replied. "There are some things I need to do first, but I want to break it off. I don't love Yu Haoran. It was a mistake agreeing to it in the first place."

Su Xiang smiled against his back. "Why did you agree to it?"

Xun Zichen turned his head to gaze at her with deep and depthless eyes. "I think you know why," he said huskily.

Su Xiang's heart filled up, about to burst.聽She squeezed around Xun Zichen, preventing him from facing her. She was embarrassed because she didn't think her feelings would reciprocate, and it was all too much for her to absorb. But he was in her arms, and it felt unreal.

"Can I turn around?" he asked her since she didn't let him move.

Su Xiang buried her face into his back. "No," she told him.

She waited for him to tell her to let go of him, but he didn't.

Su Xiang then began to feel the planes of his firm abdomen, exploring him from behind. She heard him suck in a sharp breath.

She then slid her hand further down, causing him to breathe deeper. She stopped at his lower waist, and he placed his hand on hers, guiding her hand down further.

Su Xiang was inexperienced in the field of pleasure, but she studied how the human body works, knew what places he would like.

She licked her hand, returning to his pants, slipping her fingers beneath, grabbing his hardened, considerable length.

Xun Zichen shivered as he held the dresser doors to steady himself. She ran her fingers against him, quickening her pace. His precum began to secrete when she jerked him, running smooth strokes from the base of his cock to the head.

He bowed his head; the pleasure became too much for him to handle. "I want to see you," he groaned out.

"Not now," she said while her hand continued to pump him with one hand gripping his waist and the other wrapped around his cock.

He grunted between exhales.

She watched as his fingers grip harder around the dresser doors.聽When Xun Zichen felt that he about to release himself, he turned around from her grip, facing her.

"I want to see you," he said again. His eyes darkened at the sight of Su Xiang.

Her flush deepened, but she didn't cover herself. She showed herself bare before putting her hand on him again.聽She cupped his face with her free hand, watching as he closed his eyes, knitted his brows, opening his mouth to groan.

He leaned forward, pressing his forehead on hers. Su Xiang continued to jerk him off, and she didn't expect her body to feel the excitement when she was the one that was pleasuring him.

She tip-toed to lick his ear across the curve. At that, she heard Xun Zichen grunt.

"Can I touch you?" he asked her.

"No," she answered.

"Why?" he asked, breathing hard.

"I'll let you another time," she promised, and then she went down on her knees.

Xun Zichen looked towards the window. The sun had risen at the peak. It was still morning, and never did he imagine the woman he longed for would be sucking his dick.

He collected her hair, holding it as her mouth worked its magic. He tilted his head back, feeling the walls of her mouth. At the next moment, he released himself. He then looked at her, realizing he spilled himself on her hair.

He bent down, "I'm sorry," he said.

Su Xiang smiled. "I'll wash it. But you should go on and head to work."

"I can go in late. I want to return the favour for what you just did. It's only fair," Xun Zichen pleaded.

Su Xiang's smiled broadened. She cupped his face, kissing him. "You have a big caseload to work on," she told him.

He embraced her, hugging tight. "Thank you for this," he said. "When we go all the way. I'll ensure to repay that service," he whispered huskily.

Su Xiang shuddered. "I will wait," she said.

Su Xiang wouldn't let him touch her earlier because she knew they would go all the way. Everything between them was raw and erotic. And she can't control herself as much as he couldn't.

She allowed him to get a taste of what could be between them, but he had to leave Yu Haoran first to get the full services.

Xun Zichen quickly washed up and changed. He prepared for work, kissing her on the lips before making his way out.

When he left, Su Xiang hopped into the shower, washing her body.

Afterwards, she went into the living room and began to study for school, waiting for Xun Zichen to return home.

On his way to work, Xun Zichen messaged Yu Haoran, "we need to talk."

...

Production went smoothly. Having Long Jie and Han Ru help with the things Song Luli needed, put her mind at ease. They were getting closer to wrapping up the film that she didn't notice how much time flew since she worked on it every day, aside from helping with other projects her company worked on.

Han Ru visited the set, approaching the three of them. "I've arranged a pre-screening production party. We will invite big-time producers and filmmakers, as well as celebrities, to promote the film," he said.

Song Luli's eyes glinted. "Thank you, Han Ru," she said to him.

"No problem," Han Ru replied. He turned around and then walked away.

Song Luli took Long Jie's hand, entwining their fingers together. She waved good-bye at Lan Shufen as she walked towards the car with her husband. "We should invite some of our friends and family. But, oh, that reminds me. We need to attend Su Chen's wedding rehearsal," she told him.

Long Jie smiled.聽"What present should we get them?" he asked her, entering the car and heading home.

"That's a good question," Song Luli replied.
