Chapter 211: What she wanted to know

211 What she wanted to know

When Da Xia got home, she rushed to her room and immediately started ransacking everywhere for that letter. She did not find it, and thus was getting impatient. She scratched her head confused and she looked everywhere for the letter. Giving up, she slumped on her bed, frustrated.

Where did I drop this damn letter!

She sighed and hugged her pillow, suddenly, she felt something cold touch her hand and thus she stiffened a little. Gently lifting the pillow, she saw the letter, lying helplessly under the bed.

Da Xia sighed and picked up the envelope and took out the letter from it. Opening it, she read through the contents.

''Miss Da Xia,.

I know you may be wondering who had sent an anonymous letter to you and how I know your name, not to worry, you would find out soon. I have something that I'm sure you want to know about your fiancé, please contact me when you see this…''

Da Xia read the letter over and over again before taking out her phone from her bag and calling the number that was written at the end of the letter.

The phone rang a few times before it connected.

''Hello…''

A female voice sounded through the phone. Da Xia was a bit nervous, thus she took a while before answering.

''Hello… you sent me a letter, right?''

There was silence at the other end of the line for some time before the person spoke up.

''It took you so long, seems you were irked by the headlines…''

The female voice teased, Da Xia was in no mood for jokes, so she immediately went straight to the point.

''You said there was something you had to tell me.''

The person on the other end was quiet for some time before she spoke up.

''…Tuwan Coffee Shop; 2pm on Monday.'' The line went dead. It took Da Xia a while to realize that she had just told her the venue to meet. She stared at the phone for some time before tossing her phone across the bed.

…

That night before Liu Wei slept; he contacted the officials in charge of the media outlets to take the news down and prevent further release of such news. They acted immediately they had received the call and in less than an hour, the gossip was no longer on the first page of the internet.

He was not sure Liling would not see it or not get to know about it, but for now, he was sure that the pictures were no longer top news.

The next day, Liling woke up quite late; she had slept soundly throughout the night and succeeded in pushing Liu Wei off the bed a few times, thanks to her bad sleeping habit.

When she finally opened her eyes, it was past eleven in the morning. The rays of the sun were seeping through the floor to ceiling curtains but it was not hitting her eyes although she faced its direction.

Liling raised her eyes to see Liu Wei supporting his head with one hand, watching her, a smirk on his lips. He was blocking the sun rays from hitting her face.

Liling rubbed her eyes and smiled.

''Good morning, how long have you been watching me?''

''A few minutes ago, you look prettier while sleeping.''

Liling blushed and hit him with a random pillow, she tried to escape from the bed, but just then she realized that Liu Wei had his arm around her waist.

''Where do you think you're heading to? I'm not yet satisfied...''

Liu Wei stared down at her intensely, he pulled her closer to his chest and his gaze trailed down to her lips.

Liling noticing his stare, blushed harder, but remembering what happened the previous night quickly snapped out of her daze. Although she was not angry at him for his actions, or rather that was what she made herself believe; she was not going to let him turn her on and leave her hanging there, no it was not happening.

''What are you trying to do?''

She asked, staring at Liu Wei's lips which were inching closer to hers. Liu Wei was taken aback by her sudden question. She had never stopped him, even when they were not together; she always yielded anytime he kissed her this was the first time.

Because he was taken unawares, Liu Wei did not know how to respond. He stopped moving and blinked his eyes, then swallowed hard, thinking of what to say.

''Wait, do you by any means want to kiss me?'' Liling asked feigning an irritated look. Liu Wei felt his face reddening; he immediately inched away from her and tried to focus.

Liling burst out laughing seeing his expression; he had involuntarily released her so she sprung out of the bed. She came down and walked over to his side of the bed before smiling brightly.

''Eh, hubby, I was thinking about this yesterday night and I've come to a decision, there'll be no more kisses or touching until I say so.''

''WHAT!!!''

Liu Wei couldn't help but exclaim; he did not know where that was coming from. She was laughing but he was sure that she meant it.

''Not to worry, no one is going to die, we'll just wait till we sort things out… with ourselves.''

There it is, he realized where it came from, she was angry that he had left her half way yesterday!? And he had even seen her…

Liu Wei couldn't prevent a smirk from reaching up his lips, his eyes involuntarily left her face and gazed down at her chest, intently.

Liling was not putting on any bra, she didn't wear them to sleep since they were suffocating and her cotton night gown was light, therefore her nipples were visibly standing erect.

She traced Liu Wei's eyes to her chest and immediately raised her hand to cover them.

''What are you staring at? ''

Liu Wei lifted his eyes to her face and smiled.

''Your breasts, I'm trying to remember what they looked like.''
