When they reached home, Xie Limo pulled her over from the front pa.s.senger's seat onto his lap. He cupped her head in his hand and gave her a pa.s.sionate, lingering kiss.

There was almost no reaction from Yun Bixue at all. She felt that Xie Limo was being really weird today. Her Mr. Xie had never acted so strangely before.

However, she could feel his deep love for her. After being dazed for a moment, she reached over and took the initiative to reciprocate and kiss him back.

Yun Bixue closed her eyes. Following Xie Limo's breathing, her body melted into a puddle as she revealed her sultry charms.

The coolness of Xie Limo's lips made Yun Bixue's lips part open. His tongue slipped in as he locked her teeth and lips with his, stirring up a sweet scent in her mouth.

Deep, dark whirlpools swirled with a mix of complicated emotions in his eyes. At that moment, it was difficult to tell what he was feeling.

After the kiss, Yun Bixue's breath hitched faintly.

Xie Limo caressed her cheek and said in a low voice by her ear, "My wife, I will give you whatever you want. What other women have, I will give it all to you as well."

Xie Limo's words were domineering, yet it made Yun Bixue's heart shudder. A sweet and warm feeling crept up in her heart.

Yun Bixue clutched Xie Limo's sleeve and said, "Limo, do you really love me?"

Xie Limo only placed Yun Bixue's head against his chest, where his heart was. He merely said in a gentle and low voice, "Can you hear my heartbeat? That is my answer."

Yun Bixue could hear the sound of his heart thumping as she leaned against his chest. It lingered in her ear, as though she had heard the most beautiful melody in the world. It made her heart feel very safe and secure.

She thought that he must really love her, and she loves him too. In the past, many people would say that promises of love could not always be trusted, but now, she told herself that she would never leave Xie Limo no matter what.

When Yun Bixue's breathing calmed down, Xie Limo said in a soft voice, "Let me tell you a story."

"Okay!"

"In the Xie clan's ancestry, there was once an eldest son, an elegant youth with exquisite talent above all others. At that time, he was named the first prince and second to none. Because of him, the Xie clan felt that they could scale greater heights. Alas, that was not where his ambition lay."

Yun Bixue leaned in Xie Limo's embrace and listened attentively. She felt that Xie Limo's att.i.tude today was different from usual. It had a somber tone to it.

Xie Limo continued, "Even if he did not have great ambition, he would probably lead a carefree and unrestrained life. However, he met a girl, and the two of them became close confidantes. They were supposed to get married, and the Xie family even prepared for the proposal and engagement. Even though that girl was from a humble background that could not be compared to the royal ancestry of the Xie clan, because of their love for each other, no one dared to oppose the marriage."

Yun Bixue blinked as she asked, "What happened after that?" She felt that the story would not be that simple.

Xie Limo said coldly, "After that, that girl entered the palace."

"What?" Yun Bixue could not believe her ears. "Entering the palace was like entering the deep sea in ancient times. Why would she make such a decision?"

Xie Limo's voice was very calm as he replied, "Because of ambition. She wanted to become a concubine and even aspired to become the queen. That's why she could forsake the person she loved."

"Wait, isn't the Xie clan a great royal family as well? It doesn't lack riches, and one could still spend her life with the man she loved. This was double the joy, so why didn't she want it?"

Xie Limo caressed Yun Bixue's head and said, "Silly, human hearts can never be satisfied."

Yun Bixue could feel Xie Limo's cold and bleak aura at that moment. She clutched his hand and said, "I feel very satisfied when I'm with you, Limo."
