Ceo And His Empress.. - Volume 2 Chapter 231 228. Enough Of All This..

ZiXuan knew that all this while, they were played by their circ.u.mstances… and that Meilin got the worst burn of it.

Meilin should never be weak… of course, she could depend on him anytime she wants, but Meilin was a proud woman and she was one to face everything head-on rather than one, who lingered in the past.

When he saw her like this, he couldn’t stand it and it was also the fact that she was making little of herself that hit a bad nerve; he liked every inch and every cell in her body and so, not even Meilin got the right to degrade the person he loved!!

Meilin saw the resignation in his eyes and her heart quivered; her hands that held him bonelessly fell down as she clenched them hard enough to hurt herself…

Her feelings were quite contradictory; part of her thought that ZiXuan had mistaken his feelings for her as love and that she would rather wake him up now than to be hurt in the future when he finally realises it and both are hurt, but another part of her, really wanted, if possible, for his feelings to be true…. how wonderful it would be, if they could love each other.

The main reason she didn’t want to accept for the briefest of the seconds that he might actually love her was probably that there have been no hints from him and this felt like an impulse; she had been with him for a major half of her life, but he never talked about anything of this sort in the past and he has been feeling very low since she moved away to A-country, to her it was plain to see that, he was probably too lonely and after having watched what he went through in the week that she couldn’t come to rescue him, it was evident that he became even more possessive about her…

It seems, ZiXuan giving his all to hide his feelings for her did have the opposite reaction than was intended.

At one point, she had really thought about it, back then she was of the mind that she will not give up on him even when he rejected her and in case her persistence didn’t work out, she will just bind him to herself… forcefully…

But once it actually happened, even when she was being hurt, it seems she just loved him too much and couldn’t fathom hurting his feelings in reality and that too when he finally came out of his past shadows; he didn’t have anything holding him back now, in contrast to her who was still being followed by the shadows of her past, he should be free…

The kiss they shared was enough for her… the places he had touched were still hot even though her heart was cold; and so, even when she felt that he got the lower end of the stick, she was glad that he didn’t apologise; at the very least, at that moment, their feelings might have actually coincided.

Having just recovered her memory and sight, she was already overwhelmed and adding this to it made it even hard for her, but she didn’t want to show any more of her vulnerability of her to him… in the end, ZiXuan was a good child, if he saw more of her acting like this, he won’t be able to grasp the truth…

“I– I think I’ll go get a doctor… I’ll go back first… Xuanxua-…”, simply calling him like this was painful, but the pain she felt from her clenched fist still stopped the tremble in her voice, “Take care of yourself… if you need anything here just give me a call… and you can come back anytime you want…”, she didn’t dare to look up and wanted to move out of his grasp… it was her final goodbye to her love… she won’t be able to live without him and so, she would rather kill her heart and go back to the time when she only thought about protecting him; as for this memory, she will cherish it for the rest of her life and it will be locked in the deepest corner of her heart forever.

ZiXuan let go of her for a second and even if that was what she wanted, she could help but feel a little disheartened… he was a smart man, he had probably started realising it.

But the next second–

“AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!”

Meilin was stunned to see ZiXuan shout like this; though the soundproofing was good, the guards still heard his shout and two of them rushed in only for him to coldly order them,

“Nobody is allowed to come in! Get Out!”, his voice laced with anger and killing intent, even Meilin hadn’t seen him like this… ever.

The guards were stupefied as they were drenched in a cold sweat, but they still gave Meilin a look only for–

“Can’t you hear me! I said, GET the hell out of here!!”

ZiXuan has always been courteous to all, compared to the year-round cold faced Meilin, they could still see a lot of his expression and so, even though he was someone who could fight head-on against Meilin, they never feared him, but for the first time, they were scared to their bones… his eyes were red and his face cold to the extreme, even standing at a distance their body trembled from the sheer pressure that he exuded…

Indeed, after he met her, he had calmed down a lot and he never got the chance to show this side of him to her… this was the him, who only knew to destroy, the him before he met her and started living his life for its beauty and not just to survive.

Meilin saw him like this and turned to her guards, “You can leave…”, she had a terrible feeling that ZiXuan at this moment couldn’t be controlled by her…

The guards nodded and went out.

ZiXuan saw them leave and turned to face Meilin who looked worried…

Who didn’t have an inner beast, right? In ZiXuan’s case, it was larger and darker than an average person… but he hid it well.

But this time, she felt like he shouldn’t continue doing that anymore…. this woman was too much of a dunce to understand his feelings for what they were if she still only saw him as one who needed her protection… After all this while, she was still going on about being his knight…but he wanted to be her prince too… He too wanted to cherish her like a princess… no…like the only Empress in his life and so, he will show what he really was to her… even though they were this close, they were still scared and were playing hide-and-seek with the other… that had to end.

The calm and approachable look that he always kept was long gone as his immaculately carved face took an evil charm as he pushed part of his hair back and opened two of his button from the top.

His eyes didn’t have any of the gentlenesses he carried but were driven by possession and l.u.s.t… she was correct, he indeed want to possess her, but that was because he didn’t want to lose her… he had lost a lot of things and even if he wanted to, his love couldn’t be pure like in the stories… but he didn’t care!

So, what of it was warped, as long as, they could be together ad live their life with the other, nothing mattered… and the last person he wanted to hear about it from was her!

Wasn’t she even more possessive than him?

When Meilin saw him look like this, she felt like she was watching a stranger… she didn’t know this man, but her worry overpowered everything, Xuan–“, she wanted to ask him what was wrong but–

ZiXuan pulled her by her wrist and catching her off guard; Meilin lost her balance and the next second, she was pushed on to the bed as he dangerously hovered over her…

In spite of herself, she was actually too shocked to even think anything.

ZiXuan saw her dazed look and knew that she would never even think that her position was quite vulnerable, a man that loved her had thrown her into the bed and the only thing he was lacking was self-control!

She had probably forgotten that she was a woman and that she had every right to be loved and for him, she was potent than any other aphrodisiac… he was indeed a hungry wolf who could force her to mate with him if that could prove that, she was the only one for him!

His grip on her fragile shoulders tightened as he wanted to dominate her, but held back using that last shred of rationality he had!

“Qin Meilin listen to me!! I will be 24 soon, I’m older than you and I’m not a child, who still needs you to protect him…”, Meilin’s eyes trembled… she didn’t want to hear this but–

“You don’t get to decided what I am feeling! Even if you are the woman I love, you can’t continue to dictate the meaning of my feelings for you… my temper is not what you made it to be it! When it comes to you, I’m prone to lose all my inhibitions…”
