Chapter 80 - Phoenix 18+

18+ [Detailed]

...

"I need to tell you something," Xun Zichen told her.

Su Xiang expressed some worry on her face. She was wearing his clothes鈥攁n over-sized shirt and sweatpants, which captured his eyes.

After a moment, she nodded and said, "Join me for dinner, first."

Xun Zichen followed her into the kitchen before he paused. "Wait," he told her. He then traced back his steps towards the living room, observing every corner.

He remembered the angle of the video Yu Haoran recorded, so he quickly checked the plants, vases, and eventually found the small hidden camera embedded in a piece of his clock. He then smashed the clock, startling Su Xiang.

"What's wrong?" She asked, watching him pick up the pieces to throw it in the trash.

"Yu Haoran hid a camera in my apartment," he replied gravely.

Su Xiang's face fell. "Did she...?"

She didn't have to finish speaking for Xun Zichen to understand, and for him to nod in response to her question.

Su Xiang clenched a fist over her heart before looking at him. She held her chin high. "Well, then. I suppose we couldn't keep it a secret much longer," she said with a small smile. "I'm sensing the talk between you two went wrong?"

Xun Zichen looked at her sincerely. "Horribly wrong," he replied. He then exhaled deeply, gesturing her to sit on the couch while he stood, forgetting about their dinner. He noticed the air was cold, so he took a blanket and placed it over her shoulders.

He paced back and forth on the carpeted rug in deep thought.

"Zichen," Su Xiang snapped him out of deep thinking. "Tell me, whatever it is."

Xun Zichen looked at her with a hollow, disheartened expression. He then crouched down, taking her hand in his.

"I haven't told you everything about my past, and I still don't know all the answers. But, Yu Haoran is not what I thought she was."

Su Xiang furrowed her brows. "Who is she?"

Xun Zichen faced her. "She's still an heiress. But she has a vendetta against me, against the Xun family."

"The Xun family?"

"Mhm," he replied. "I want to show you something."

Su Xiang nodded, and then she looked at the tablet he gave her, finding old articles about the Xun family.

It was titled: Leader of Xun Group, dead.

Under the title held more information.

'Xun Group is a multi-billionaire Electronics company, and today, we discovered that it's prominent leader, Xun Xiaoli, was revealed to be a Phoenix, a member of the Flock Organization.

The Flock is a criminal organization鈥攑rominent, notorious, and ruthless in the Underworld. Xun Xiaoli died in the hospital.'

Next to the article were two images of a beautiful woman with long black hair and pear-green eyes. In one of the pictures, she wore pants and a blazer, a smile blooming on her face. And the other one was a candid photo where she had tattoos from chest to toe. It appears that there were two sides of Xun Xiaoli, just as there were two different sides of Xun Zichen, that Su Xiang had yet to discover about one of them. She continued to read the article.

'The police are satisfied with the downfall of the community's greatest enemy, a stain to society. However, they fear that other members of the organization are blended into high society and will continue to organize crimes across the city, right under our nose. 聽We must continue to fight against these mobs and gangs to restore peace. There is also a reward for the safe return of the three-year-old聽heir apparent, Xun Zichen, who went missing the same evening.'

Su Xiang read the article once, twice, and once more to make sure she was reading correctly. Her eyes widened, stunned.

"Why didn't you mention this before?" she questioned Xun Zichen.

Xun Zichen smiled grimly.聽"I wanted to erase my past and escape from it. But it came back, and it's sucking me in," he replied.

It made sense, Su Xiang thought. The phoenix tattoo, his natural reservation, and his drive should have told her everything about him.

"Yu Haoran knows about my real family. I'm not sure how, but she could tip my uncle, who inherited everything that my mother left behind. And he will look for me, for both of us," Xun Zichen admitted.

Su Xiang listened to him, weighing in his words carefully.

He continued again:聽"With the camera, she also captured some recordings and threatened to release them," he revealed.

Su Xiang exhaled deeply. "I see," she said.

"A lot is going on. And I am in deep shit. But I understand if you don't want anyone to know what's going on between us. I'll understand if you want nothing to do with me in that way anymore. I can continue to be Su Chen. I can submit to what Yu Haoran wants if that's what it means to protect you鈥攊f that's what you want," he said full of resolve and determination.

Su Xiang knitted her brows. "Stop," she demanded.

Xun Zichen waited for her to explain what she meant.

She then gave him a warm smile, reaching out to provide him with a soft caress on his face. Su Xiang ran her fingers through his jet-black locks of hair, tousling it to the side.

"Let's tell my parents about us," she told him.

Xun Zichen widened his eyes; he couldn't believe her words. "But what if it angers them? What if they don't understand?" he questioned.

"I don't care," she answered in a whisper.

"I might one day rejoin the Xun family," he told her.

"That's okay," she replied, assuring him.

"It's a risk being with me."

"I know."

"It will be dangerous in every waking moment, but I will do my best to protect you."

Su Xiang's smile widened. "Then, let's welcome danger together."

"I love you," he confessed ardently.

"I love you, too," she admitted genuinely. She loved him for a long time now.

Su Xiang then wrapped her arms around him, kissing him hard, falling over his body on the floor. She pinned him to the ground, not leaving his lips. The blanket covered them, warming their bodies.

Just how long did they both wait for this moment?聽It didn't matter if people were after them. They were stronger together, and she wouldn't go down without a fight.

Xun Zichen roamed his hands over her body freely, gripping her waist. He lifted her shirt slightly, snaking his palms over her warm skin.

"Can I move further?" He asked her.

"Yes," she breathed.

Xun Zichen smiled warmly. But his smile turned into aching want. Instead of undressing her, he wrapped an arm around her waist while she laid on top of him. He then slid his hand beneath her pants and found no underwear.

Su Xiang smirked. "I didn't bring any spare clothes," she teased.

Xun Zichen's eyes narrowed with desire. He then touched her core, moisture pooling from it. He tossed her hair aside with his free hand, devouring her neck as his fingers glided over her clit. Su Xiang gripped his shoulders, breathing into his ear. She sucked in a sharp breath when she felt his fingers slide inside her.

She bit his collarbone, kissing over the small mark she made.

"Are you ready?" he asked her.

She met his eyes, full of lust and desire.

"Ready for...?" she didn't finish her sentence when he flipped her over beneath him. He hurriedly put her shirt over her head, removing her pants. And she responded by hastily unbuttoning his dress shirt, unfastening his belt.

They discarded their clothes in an instant, tossing it aside. Their chests heaved from their impatient hurriedness.

He stroked her head, saying, "I'm going to try to make this as painless as possible."

Su Xiang nodded. "I trust you," she responded breathlessly.

Xun Zichen kissed her on the lips before cupping one of her breasts, placing it in his mouth. He kissed his way down until his tongue grazed over her clit. Su Xiang's legs shook.

He held her hips as he licked her over thoroughly, wetting her sensitive area. Her back arched at the pleasure, grabbing his hair in between her legs.

After he finished, Xun Zichen hovered over her body, pressing his lips against hers again. He held her chin, kissing her passionately.

Xun Zichen then pushed her legs up, spreading them apart. He held his hard cock, kneeling in front of her, entering in, slow and swift.聽He was inside her.

Xun Zichen gritted his teeth, feeling her thin walls envelope his cock. Su Xiang squirmed, digging her nails into his shoulders, adjusting to his length.

"Zichen," she called him.

"Xi," he breathed, merging their bodies carefully.聽He slowly pulled out, thrusting back in swiftly again. And again. And again. And again.

Su Xiang knitted her brows tightly, so Xun Zichen paused. "Does it hurt?"

"Keep going," she answered, her eyes filled with determination.

Xun Zichen kept thrusting. Su Xiang then wrapped her legs around his tattooed back. She gripped the carpet beneath them as he did her in. When the pain began to fade, she circled her arms around him, feeling him full and hard.

"You're so tight," he groaned.

"Deeper," Su Xiang demanded. Xun Zichen then spread her legs further, holding her hips, quickening his thrusts鈥攊n and out, fast and deep. Su Xiang titled her head back, moaning as he nipped her neck.

"It feels...good, Xi. I can't hold it in," he grunted with sweat trickling down his face.

"Cum in me," she told him.

"Fuck," he responded.

He picked up his pace. His grip tightened on Su Xiang's thighs, holding him steady. His legs clapped against hers, and Su Xiang responded by rocking her hips against his. She then looked at him in the eyes, watching him fuck her.

Xun Zichen leaned over, clasping her hands together as they made love. He knitted his brows, closed his eyes, opening his mouth against hers. Within the next moment, he unleashed himself with a groan. And at the sight of him, Su Xiang let go, too.
