Yes, I Do(n't)

Chapter 33: To be yours

She continues to walk towards her courtyard in a calm and graceful manner but, hidden underneath her white veil, is a radiant face with a wide smile on her lips.

Being a 34-year old woman, this is her first time ever to feel this excited when it comes to the other s*x. This kind of excitement can only be gained by her whenever she completed her tasks with her own hands. Did she ever feel any regrets killing all of her targets? For their family and friends, yes. But each target is those who managed to escape from the law. This is where her firm will take over by a special commission from each government, to kill those who become a major nuisance to the society whether it is a drug lord, a leader of a gang or a bloodthirsty killer, she and her people will execute each given task efficiently. When it comes to r**e and/or abuse cases, they will do it pro bono by giving 'them' much-needed lessons. That is what her firm has done in secret but, on the face of it, they are a well-known security company that provides personal protection to their paying clients.

When she arrives, she softly sighs because of the realization that she did miss her original life after all. Her family members... Her friends... Her employees... All those (fun) men...

"What's with the long sigh? Are you not feeling well?"

She turns to look at him and says, "Moran... Have you had no fear whatsoever? My father and brother are there together with the young masters of the Xiao family. What if they notice your presence?"

Crown Prince Beitang Moran smile and answers, "I have nothing to hide, Baiyu... If they caught me, so be it. Have you missed me?"

"You're too much. We just met yesterday..."

Crown Prince Beitang Moran calmly walk towards her, he even gently lifted up her veil to the side of her hat, "Where is your mask? You should wear it even if you are wearing your veiled hat."

"Moran... What gives? Why should I bother wearing a mask when I am using my veiled hat?" Shen Baiyu asked as she tilted her head slightly while still looking at him.

"For better protection from those pesky flies..." He answered.

"Moran... Those people are good people. They will not tell anyone if they happened to see a part of my face earlier. Ke Ai will not let them do such a thing."

She then walks towards the back garden before settling herself on a stone bench near the pond filled with colourful koi fishes. The young man then sits next to her before proceeding to take one of her hand into his hands with one hand gently caressing hers. A slight blush can be seen on her cheeks. He is such a 'smooth criminal' indeed.

"Since Ke Ai will be staying in my courtyard starting from this day onwards. You should stop coming here uninvited. As I am still officially engaged to the crown prince, I do not want to implicate you."

He smiles and says, "Baiyu... This pr... This gentleman is not afraid even if he will be implicated because of you. After all, nothing will happen even if something like that does happen."

"Your confidence is beyond my comprehension... Is it worthwhile for you to be implicated because of me? Your life matters most, Moran." She stared at him with a serious expression on her face.

"I am so touched with your concern but, please believe me that nothing will happen. Sooner or later, you will be free, and I will ask for your hand in marriage."

"Moran... This is... Unexpected. Wait for a second... If I will be a free woman by then, why I would bother to be tied down by another engagement?"

She abruptly stands up before she realizes that her hand is still being held by him. He suddenly strengthens his grip on her hand and pulls her backward which resulted in her stumbling backward. When she thought that she will fall down, she indeed had fallen down but, she has fallen down into someone's protective embrace. She even sits on his lap which made her frozen in place as she is afraid to move. Why? She is currently in a rather compromising position. One move from her can lead to another as she felt how he too frozen in his place. Both of them stay that way in an awkward silence. Realizing that this cannot go on. She tried to stand up once more after pulling her hand from his strong grip but, one of his arms is already around her waist and securely pressuring her to continue to stay on his lap.

"Moran..."

"Stay... I will be your chair." He said as he pulls her body nearer to him.

By now, both of his arms are securely crossing around her waist, he tightens his hold and it is hopeless for her to do anything else. She then put her arms around his shoulder, he looks up at her and smile. As she looks down at him, she smiles too. She is not angry nor feels uncomfortable even in this embarrassing situation. This young man is bold indeed. Without realizing it, she kisses his lips.

"Oh, God... I am so sorry... I ..."

She did not have a chance to continue as he suddenly returns her kiss as well. By now, both of them are kissing each other with so much passion that actually made them surprised too. As they are kissing, Shen Baiyu uses her tongue to deepen their kiss which makes the other to become bolder. He broke their kiss only to lick her fair and smooth neck before biting it.

"Moran... It hurts!"

"Baiyu... I wanted you. I wanted to be yours." He stared at her.

She smiles and holds onto the sides of his face before kissing him back deeply before she pulls away, she bites his lips to point that it bleeds. She then licks on the wound. Goodness... If only this happens in her original life, she might be bidding goodbye to her 'virgin' title. This young man really made her somewhat arouse right now. Maybe a marriage with him is not bad after all. She only has to wait for her engagement to be annulled first.

"I want you too, Moran..."

"I will come here every night after the others have turned in for the night. I must kiss you on a daily basis." He said with a smile.

"Did I just corrupt you? A gentleman who has become a rogue..." She plays with his hair as he rested his head on her shoulder.

"Corrupted? All men are a rogue when they meet the 'one'. In my case, that ‘one’ is you."

He carries her inside his strong arm before he walks towards her room. She smiles and says nothing. She too wanted to go inside her room for more privacy.

"Moran... What are you doing?"

"What do you think I am doing? We will continue inside your room of course!" He smirks.

"Oooh... Impressive." She softly laughs.
