Ceo And His Empress.. - Volume 2 Chapter 233 230. Happily Ever After..

ZiXuan didn’t notice these changes, he was still stuck in his dilemma as he continued, “…What else do you want, I didn’t have power back then. I was just an adopted child and an infant in the circle, if not for this, I wouldn’t have been able to deny all the prospects… you were also not there with me…”, when he said those last words, there was hidden anger in his words.. it seems, he was still quite angry about her living him.

Meilin heard it and finally got herself together, she pushed herself up and hugged him, “I’m sorry… Xuanxuan. I was too confused back then and thought it would be better for the two of us to have some distance… but I should have asked you… I’m sorry….”, it will always be something she regrets, after that day by the lake, she knew that this matter had a great impact on him, but the situation hadn’t let them talk it out for good… now that he had started it and was putting everything out… if she ran away now…

‘… then I really won’t ever be able to become someone who deserves him…’

ZiXuan didn’t say anything and simply embraced her back… taking her into his embrace calmed he down…

“I– I didn’t know that she was serious about me, well, she never said it out loud and I couldn’t be sure. But for a fact, she was the perfect wall and she came on her own to me and gave this proposal… Linlin, I swear… if anything at all, I treat her as a mere passerby A. Later when I found some hints from her family and her gestures, I directly asked her to stop it. My heart doesn’t have enough place to hold you in it, where do I make space for anyone else, right. Still, I feel like a jerk to have used her feelings, I probably knew about it, but just ignored it because she didn’t say it back then…”, his eyes held a glint of a craze, “But you know what? If it’s for you, I can even become the devil himself.

I guess, it wasn’t that I didn’t notice her, it was just that I didn’t have anyone else in my eyes… When she got close to me, I had clearly told her that I couldn’t like her and our relationship was as fake as it could get, but she still warped the ideas and said that that we’re engaged… I was at fault, but she wasn’t less guilty. When I confronted her, she said that she was the only woman except you whom I kept close and thought that she had a chance, I was so pissed… I can’t think of anyone, except you, as a woman so, what do you expect me to feel for her…huh? It was she who came close and I just didn’t push her away, I could use her to get you back and even if Karma gets back with me, you were everything that I had in my mind and heart, you still are! Many women do want to throw themselves at me for my power and even if it’s very cliche and somewhat true, I hadn’t met any of that kind and never expected a reputed girl like her to be after my position”, he dramatically sighed,”…. hah…. annoying…tch.”

“But Linlin, you don’t need to worry now, I now have enough power. I can protect you…We don’t need to hide anything…”, he pushed her a little bit and placed his forehead over hers as they looked into each other’s eyes, “so… Linlin,… my love…please be mine. I can give you everything and will stay with you till my last breath…”

“Xuanxuan–“, she didn’t want him to even whisper such things!

ZiXuan finally noticed that change in her and he couldn’t help but give a kiss on her soft cheek, “.. it’s true… I can’t even think of living a second without you; after I met you, every second I spent without you was similar to being a living dead and the next moment you entered my sight again, I was breathed with the purest essence of life. Linlin, you don’t need to care if I love you; I can guarantee that it’s enough for us to live for another century… By then, I would be loving you even more than I do now so, we can live off of it for an eternity”, he had a childish smile…

“So, Linlin… just say a yes… Just tell me that you love me and we sign our marriage doc.u.ments tomorrow… though it’s not necessary, I want the world to know that you are officially mine and that I can sue anyone who puts their eyes on you… I mean, no one is allowed to think about you except me!”, his childlike grin widened even when his words were threatening,

He hadn’t talked for this long in a long while and he was softly panting by the end of it, but his eyes were glittering like the rarest of the diamonds.

He had put his heart out and could only wait for her to accept it, not that she will let her out if she didn’t.

Unlike Meilin, ZiXuan would never let her go…they knew that they were the other’s happiness so why play out this melodrama… it didn’t make any sense to him!

On the other hand, if Meilin still continued to hold onto her insecurities even after all this… then her love was definitely fake…

This man believed in her and so, he showed his n.a.k.e.d truth to her… if she wanted to be on the same space as him, couldn’t she do it as well….

“Xuanxuan, I’m quite cold you know…”, she started.

ZiXuan didn’t know why she said this, but he was fast to deny it as he shook his head, “…You are gentle to me… why should I judge you from someone else’s perspective?”

“I don’t talk a lot”, she continued.

“You can hear me out… Just tell me when you are upset and when I do something wrong…”

“I can’t act like other girls and say out my real feelings upfront… I get scared…”

“I only like you… but once in a while give me a kiss… I will take it further…”, there was no need to accept everything for what it was, they needed to put their side of the story… that was what this all was about.

“I’m stronger than you and not frail who will need your protection…”

“No worries there… I’ll become stronger and we can mutually protect each other…”

“I’m very new to this…”

“We will grow together…”

“I’m possessive and once you accept me… I won’t let you go even if you cry…”, her voice was quivering… it was as if she was living her dream… she couldn’t bring herself to believe that all this was actually happening.

He was accepting everything of her… he said, he loved her…

“You can possess me all you want, but in return… you should never think of leaving me behind again, hm?”, he had a doting smile on his lips.

“I– I Love you, Xuanxuan… I’m sorry that I couldn’t get contended from just being your knight… I’m so sorry…”, she wasn’t crying, but her face was twisted in pain… she had broken their promise and it was still haunting her.

He choked up from excitement and restraining all the tears that were threatening to fall off, but he couldn’t in the end.. let him care for her share too.

“Linlin…ah… Didn’t you say you are my knight? I don’t see a problem in us being in a relationship, even if this world doesn’t accept it, this CEO will make you his Empress…”, he tasted his tears, but maybe because he was too happy, he thought they tasted sweet.

He wiped his tears and asked, “My dear knight… my love, will you become mine and vow a lifetime with me?”, he said as he stood up and pulled her closer.

This mesmerising and magical moment was only theirs to live and will be etched deep in their souls…

The two paths which started as one but were pulled apart by their circ.u.mstances and situations finally met again…

They had learnt from the past so, this time their bond was stronger… they finally took hold of their soul mate… they will never let them go.

Meilin had a rare smile on her face as her eyes crinkled up, nothing else mattered anymore…

She had to protect this moment and this time, they will work for it together.

Meilin was still a head shorter than her, he looked up at him and the two had only the other’s reflection in their eyes…

He lowered his head and she naturally tiptoed,

A whisper left her lips, “…Xuanxuan… Thank you for loving me and for being by my side… I love you too…”

” hm.. it is my pleasure and honour, my love…”

As the evening glow shrouded them in a halo, their lips met and they went for another lingering kiss…..

They lived happily ever after….
