Chapter 200 - And miss everything?

While Han Ye was busy at Xiao Lei's apartment, back at his apartment next door, Lu Ziyan was having the time of his life as he watched An Xin change into the new set of clothes that he bought for her previously.  

"Y-you could have at least turned away..." An Xin mumbled as she buttoned up the shirt. 

"And miss everything?" Lu Ziyan laughed softly. He reached out, and as if by instinct, An Xin walked to him. When she was standing in front of him, he helped her button the last three of her buttons while saying, "I'm really happy that you stayed over last night..."

"It's not like it's the first time I stayed over." 

"But it's the first time you stayed in my room for the whole night..." Lu Ziyan smirked. He then looked up into her beautiful eyes and said, "And the first time you stayed in my room n.a.k.e.d." 

At his reminder, An Xin's face turned red from embarrassment, and she turned away from him. They did not even do anything last night. They merely cuddled each other, n.a.k.e.d, as they talked about their days.  

Lu Ziyan smiled softly and gently pulled her down so that she was sitting on his laps. When she was seated properly, he placed a soft kiss on her lips before saying, "I can kiss you for a whole day if you'd let me..." 

"Sweet talker..." 

He grinned. When he noticed that she was a little down, he took her hand in his and asked, "Are you still sad about what had happened?" 

He was asking about her divorce, to which she shook her head and said, "No... Maybe a part of me did at the very beginning, but it was only for a short period of time." 

Lu Ziyan joked. "Because I'm a great presence and I took your mind off that b*stard?" 

He was seriously only joking. Therefore, when she nodded, his lips parted in surprise, and he remained speechless for a long time. 

Looking at his surprised expression, An Xin could not help but chuckle as she thought, "He's kinda cute when he's stunned..." 

She then placed her right hand on his cheek and gently caressed it. When Lu Ziyan looked at her with a scorching hot gaze, she placed a kiss on his lips. And it was not a light, soft kiss like the one he gave her earlier. 

This was a passionate one, like the one they shared last night when she climbed on him. 

As he responded, An Xin regretted not going through with her plan last night... She had gone to him with the hope of spending a passionate night with him, but when they were finally n.a.k.e.d and were getting hot and heavy... she could not do it, and tears started to roll down her cheeks as she cried uncontrollably.  

Perhaps because it was still all very new to her, a part of her was still afraid of being hurt... Not so much physically, but more to emotionally. She felt that she could trust Lu Ziyan... but she had the same feeling when she was with her ex-husband.

Thankfully, Lu Ziyan did not blame her. Instead, he was very patient with her and kept trying to cheer her up with jokes, which made her feel worse. Especially since she could tell from his erection that he was really looking forward to it.  

When they finally parted their lips, An Xin looked at him while panting softly. After a while, she murmured, "Thanks..." 

"I should be the one who thank you..." Lu Ziyan smirked. He leaned in for another kiss, but An Xin stopped him by covering his mouth with her hand. 

When he raised a brow at her with a curious gaze, she said, "No, I mean it. Thanks for not getting upset..."

She then looked at him with a shy expression as she continued, "For last night..." 

Lu Ziyan laughed softly and took her hand before placing a kiss at the back of her hand. He then looked at her as he murmured, "There's nothing to be upset about. I was a little disappointed because you're a very beautiful woman and I'd really, really like to be with you... but at the very least, you didn't just run away... I like that you were brave enough to stay with me for the rest of the night."

"I like it too..." she said shyly. "You... are a good cuddler..."

He chuckled at her description of him as he doubted that he was a good cuddler, especially since his erection was poking at her back for half the night. In the end, she offered to help him settle it with her hands, which he agreed to willingly. 

At the very least, it told him that she was not opposed to having a s.e.x.u.a.l relationship with him. It was her fear of being hurt again that stopped her from taking a further step so early on in their relationship.

Placing a finger at her exposed collarbone and from there, he gently trailed down until he reached her cleavage. With a rugged tone, he whispered, "Maybe next time..."

She nodded. "Yeah..." she whispered.

He then took his hand away and smiled up at her. "Breakfast with me today? Then we can go to visit Kai Xin and her new baby."

An Xin turned away abruptly at the mention of Kai Xin. All of a sudden, she stood up and walked out of the room. 

"What's wrong?" Lu Ziyan asked as he wheeled behind her. 

"I don't think she'd like me there..." An Xin said. 

It was one of the rare times that Lu Ziyan could see insecurity in her. From their talks, he knew that An Xin felt inferior to her sister.

"I'm sure she'd like you to be there, An Xin... She cares about you..." Lu Ziyan said. "So does Kai An... You haven't talked to him for a long time, did you? He didn't even know much about your divorce."

He wanted to add, "or me", but in the end, he decided not to. He knew that An Xin was still going through a lot, especially with people talking about her behind her back. From the start, she had never been popular among her coworkers. When she started going to work without her wedding ring, some of her coworkers started to talk about her behind her back. 

An Xin always kept her head up and pretended that nothing was wrong, and she was glad that at the very least, Lu Ziyan was there with her the whole time. 

Looking at the man who she had been talking to on almost a daily basis, An Xin shook her head. "I don't really know what to say to him. Kai An... He can be a bit overwhelming sometimes... And besides, he has his own kid now. I don't want to bother him unnecessarily." 

Lu Ziyan sighed and he linked his hand with hers. When she looked at him with a confused expression, he said, "Even so, just talk to him. Let him know that everything is alright... and that I'm here with you... Or, are you embarrassed to be seen with me?" 

She immediately shook her head and got down on one knee. 

Grinning, Lu Ziyan remarked, "You know, usually it's the guy's job to get down on one knee..." 

She did not smile. Instead, she said, "I'd never be embarrassed because of you. You did a mistake when you were a boy, and you've paid for it dearly. You're a good person, Lu Ziyan." 

"I-I was only joking..."

"Don't even joke about this kind of matter!" she snapped. As she rested her cheek on his thigh, she said softly, "You're the only one who had ever placed me in the first place..."

Lu Ziyan smiled and gently patted her back. "You'll always be the first in my life..."

When she looked up at him, he added, "Talk to Kai An..." 

He then told her about his conversation with Kai An. "He has a right to be angry, and I can't do anything about it. But I can't help but be happy about it as well..."

"Why?"

"Because it means that you're important to him as well... And I'm glad to know that he's not so biased as to ignore his youngest sister..." 

An Xin thought about his words before she sighed softly. "Alright then. I'll talk to him. I-I'll go to the hospital with you later..."
