He leaned down, his lips cold as they pressed against her soft lips. The kiss started rough but became intoxicatingly sweet.
His icy exterior couldn’t hide the inner passion, his hands encircling her, the brutal invasion transforming into gentle tenderness.
Jing Xin sensed something strange about Jiang Xiangyang today; his eyes churned with complex emotions, flashing rapidly.
Her mind became hazy; this gentle kiss was making her dizzy, her consciousness sinking into the trembling he induced.
He closed his eyes, sighed inwardly, unwilling to say too much, including his imminent departure to Macau, or the fact that he had not been in contact for over a decade. He should not have selfishly made her wait for him, yet he couldn’t bear the thought of her with another man. The outstanding man at the school gate had already disrupted his state of mind.
If he were to die outside, he would instruct San Bao to let her live her own life. He had never been a coward and always tried to think positively. In a few years, he hoped to achieve something and openly let the world know that she was his woman. She was like a warm ray of sunshine that had broken through the most vulnerable part of his tough heart.
Chapter Thirty-Six: Farewell
Jing Xin lounged on the sofa, flipping through the calendar, suddenly realizing how coincidental this year was – the Lunar New Year and Valentine’s Day were only one day apart.
In five days, it would be the New Year and Jing Xin’s first year of marriage with Jiang Xiang Yang. She was full of plans for the holiday and Valentine’s Day, considering what gift to give him.
They had hastily married when Jiang’s mother was critically ill. Jiang Xiang Yang had placed his mother’s wedding ring on Jing Xin’s finger, but she had not given him any wedding token. After much contemplation, she decided to buy him a ring.
The shopping mall was filled with a festive atmosphere. Jing Xin went directly to the jewelry counter, stopping at the 520 pure silver series. The saleswoman laid out several rings, and Jing Xin was drawn to a pure, unadorned ring. The saleswoman explained it was the latest from Michel Jewelry Company, designed by the president’s daughter for her lover, named “Heart Vow,” symbolizing deep love.
