Jun pressed his lips against hers as tightly as he had pressed her body against his as well. Biting her soft lips with his teeth, he traversed across every inch of them from the left side towards the right. Her head bent backwards the more pressure Jun applied and the more he leaned towards her.
Not leaving even a tiny void between their lips, Ai felt breathless with the air stuck in her throat. The passion with which Jun claimed her felt incredibly hot and moist. He didn't leave her with any chance to respond because right now, Jun only wanted to overwhelm her with his answer to her confession.
When he felt that Ai struggled to keep up with his height, Jun bent more to her level, pushing their lips deeper and farther.
Ai could only weakly clutch onto his coat as she was smothered by his heated kiss. When they finally parted, she stared at him with her misty gaze but his devilishly handsome face only seemed blurred and hazy to her. Yet she felt the intensity with which Jun penetrated his gaze at her.
Jun snapped his head towards Yating, who witnessed him kissing the woman he loved right in front of him. Anger akin to a volcano raged in his chest, and he grabbed Jun's collar, pushing him back.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD! How dare you…How dare you touch Ai with your filthy hands!?"
Ai froze and hastily grabbed his arm to pull him away from Jun. "Don't fight!"
But her strength wasn't enough to match Yating, especially when his senses were overcome with outrage and violence.
Jun took charge, grabbed his wrists and shook it off his shirt, his lips forming a sneer. "Bastard? And my filthy hands? Did you see Ai pushing away my filthy self?"
Yating gnashed his jaw with hatred.
"I kissed her right in front of you, but did you see her stopping me?"
"You fucking forced yourself on her and you have the audacity to say that she didn't stop you!? Are you out of your fucking mind, Liu Jun!?"
Jun burst into laughter. "If you think I am out of my mind, then why don't you ask Ai yourself? Ask her if she hated me kissing her."
Ai quickly tried to pull Jun away, taking the chance. "Don't fight. It's not-"
Jun then snapped his dark and possessive gaze at her and pointed out with a grimace in his countenance, "If somebody wouldn't be playing hide and seek with me, then I wouldn't have had to bear this fucker's face right now," he sneered.
Since it was useless talking to Jun, she brought her attention to Yating. She quickly stepped in between them before either one of them charged at the other once again.
"Jun. Yating. Please stop this."
Yating stiffened. "You…Ai, he kissed you forcibly and you don't have anything to say to that!? You don't have to bear this. Leave my way, and I will teach him the fucking lesson he should have learned ages ago!"
Jun cocked his brow with interest and disdain.
Ai let out a breath and said, "I didn't retaliate because I wasn't angry. There is…" her cheeks flushed, "nothing to get angry when Jun…"
Yating stared at her with a blank gaze.
"He is right. The protagonist is me and I was confessing to Jun through my story. B-But I was too nervous and conscious to face him, so I ran away. I…" she lowered her gaze, now really wanting to merge with the infinite cosmos, "I love Jun…"
Jun stared at her trembling back, watching the tips of her ear and the back of her neck growing crimson. His own heart skipped several beats but then drummed and pounded harder in his chest. His hands wanted to grab her waist. His lips wanted to kiss her over and over again. He desired to consume her until there remained no distance between them.
But as opposed to what Jun felt, Yating felt his heart shattering into pieces. His worst fear turned out to be true.
He felt helpless. He felt hopeless. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovєlFіre.net
The genuine love Ai's expression showed and glowed through her face squeezed his heart painfully.
Jun broke out of his passionate stupor that wanted to claim all to himself and sneered at Yating. "Did you get your answer, Mr. Gu? My kiss, her words…anything more you need to hear or is your heart crushed enough for the night?"
Jun's poisonous words were nothing as compared to the poison that spread within him because of Ai's admittance.
"Ai…You cannot be fooled by him! Liu Jun? Of all people, Liu Jun!? You love the man who is responsible for bringing you into this plagiarism mess in the first place!?"
Jun slightly stiffened.
"You love a man like him who is the cause of your misery!?"
Ai replied. "It was not Jun's fault."
Yating looked at her speechlessly, "Not his fault? You are saying that the CEO of Sky Publishing who defamed you and put your career at such a risk is not at fault!?"
Her eyes rapidly blinked.
Jun glowered at him dangerously.
Fuck, I wanted to break that news to her!
"You didn't know this, did you? He started this whole mess and dragged MissImperfectlyFine's name in the mud. You are in this situation because Liu Jun brought it upon you. How can you fall in love with a man like that!?"
There was a deep silence.
She felt dizzy with the sudden revelation because everything that happened until now started to make sense to her. All the events that culminated to this point began to fit like pieces of a puzzle.
So he read my story not because he worked part time but because he was the ultimate Boss.
Though it made sense, she also couldn't wrap her head around the fact that all this time, she was showing her drafts to the Sky CEO himself! The highest authority in Sky was right beside her all this time. Hell, she even shared a roof with him for a month!
Yating coldly smiled. "Ai, after all this, will you still say that you love him?"
