Shao Yan had her eyes closed. She was nervous. But she didn't hate it.

Li Xiqing kissed her slowly. He showered her face with little kisses here and there. And she gradually relaxed.

He kissed her chin, and then moved to her earlobe, tracing her fragrance.

He moved to her neck, and licked her skin a little and then sucked on it. He heard her whimpered softly.

He kissed the warm spot on the side of her throat, and then going down again.

Shao Yan could feel that he unb.u.t.toned the top two b.u.t.ton of her clothes, and she looked at him.

Her vision was blurry with fog of ecstasy.

He kissed her shoulder blade. Trailing kisses to her neckline. He nuzzled it and kissed it.

He moved to her cleavage. He kissed it and then licked it. He heard her soft moan, and he almost lost it.

He looked back to her face. Li Xiqing could see that she wanted more, but it's not the right time yet.

He moved back to her lips and slowly savouring her again. He brought his tongue to search for hers, he sucked and then nibbled on her lips. Their tongues would danced and tangled together.

All this time, his hands were still propped up on the sides of her head, he didn't use his fingers to touch her at all. And pampered her only with kisses from his lips.

Li Xiqing used all of his might to stop himself.

She was not emotionally ready. He needed more time.

He didn't want their first time together to be in here. He needed it to be special for both of them. Li Xiqing wanted to give the best for her.

He slowly let her go. But he still stayed on top of her.

Li Xiqing was looking into her eyes. Shao Yan was also looking into his eyes.

For some time, they didn't say anything.

Li Xiqing saw that her eyes were hazy, they were so pretty. Her lips were now a little swollen after the intense kisses. She looked so adorable.

Shao Yan could see his desire in his eyes. Her cheeks blushed at the thought of him wanting her.

Li Xiqing could also see her desire. And he swelled with happiness at the thought of her wanting him.

He rolled to the side and then grabbed her to hold her tight.

Shao Yan leaned on his chest and listened to his rus.h.i.+ng heartbeats.

A moment later, they fell asleep while holding each other like that.

When Qi Ling came home and didn't hear any sound from any of them, she was debating if she needed to knock on Shao Yan's door.

What if she saw something she shouldn't have?

Qi Ling decided to just call Shao Yan on her mobile phone.

Qi Ling pressed her ear to the door, and could hear Shao Yan's phone was ringing now.

She heard rustle noise from inside, and then Shao Yan sleepy voice came through, "En? Ling Ling?"

Qi Ling stifled a laugh, "Put on your clothes! And get out. I bought spicy chicken feet. Let's eat!" and she quickly hung up.

Qi Ling went to the kitchen to take out some plates.

Shao Yan and Li Xiqing came out soon after.

Shao Yan still scratching her head and held back a yawn. Li Xiqing rubbed her head lovingly.

Qi Ling rolled her eyes, these two kids really didn't do anything. And just fell asleep? Really??

"Come here, sit down. I bought non spicy chicken feet for you." Qi Ling was talking to Shao Yan and then she looked at Li Xiqing, "And a super duper spicy chicken feet for you."

Li Xiqing pursed his lips. This rivalry with Qi Ling over Shao Yan was very interesting.

They sat down, and started to eat the afternoon snack.

"What time do we need to leave?" Shao Yan turned to look at Li Xiqing.

He was pouring orange juice for Shao Yan and Qi Ling. "Maybe in an hour?" he looked up, "K corporation office is about thirty minutes from here."

Shao Yan thought for a while. "Alright. I will go get ready after this." she smiled at Li Xiqing.

And then turned to Qi Ling, "You just signed a new job because of me, so dinner tonight is your treat!" Shao Yan grinned "I want to eat hotpot."

Qi Ling scowled at her.

"No." both Qi Ling and Li Xiqing answered Shao Yan.

Shao Yan looked blankly at them. Eh? They finally agreed on something?

Qi Ling ignored Li Xiqing, and continued, "It's already summer. Let's eat something light."

Qi Ling pondered for a while and then she said, "There's a new vegetarian restaurant just opened near the temple by W street. Let's go there."

Li Xiqing agreed with Qi Ling's suggestion, so Shao Yan had to reluctantly agreed as well.

Li Xiqing went back to his place to change. He told Shao Yan that he will be back to pick them up in an hour.

Qi Ling and Shao Yan went back to her room and started to clean up and get ready.

Since it's only contract signing, Qi Ling did not have to dress up. But her profession required her to dress stylishly. Qi Ling decided on white T-s.h.i.+rt, ripped black jeans and tennis shoes. She also put on biker hat. With her short hair, Qi Ling looked amazingly attractive.

Shao Yan, on the other hand, liked to dress down on the weekend. She opted for a white summer dress. Qi Ling bought her a new pair of Balinese woven wedge sandals. Shao Yan was so excited to try it on today. Qi Ling also got her a round woven rattan bag, also from her trip to Bali.

Shao Yan just got out from her room, when she heard the main door keypad sound and then the door was opened. She saw Li Xiqing came in on his own.

"Are you ready?" he saw Shao Yan just came out of her room, and then took off his shoes.

Shao Yan went to the kitchen to get some water, "Yes, Qi Ling should come out soon."

Shao Yan wanted to drink ice water because the weather was so hot outside. But Li Xiqing gave her a stern glare, so she could only s.h.i.+fted her hand and drink a room temperature water.

Shao Yan lamented if not having a boyfriend was actually better?
