Ceo And His Empress.. - Volume 2 Chapter 242 239. Let's End It..

Meilin could be as much of an ice block as she likes, but this ice would still melt when put in front of her personal sun.

She couldn’t help but smile, “So, are you sure you can handle this boss forever? As for me, I don’t think I can see anyone else when you are here…”, she finally had a doting smile on her face.

ZiXuan stared at her for a whole 5 seconds before replying, ” I don’t want to work under any other boss. Plus…”, he deepened his voice and gave a light peck on her lips before continuing, “… I’ve been dying for an office romance. CEO X Secretary was good, but Chairman x CEO sound even better. Ne… Boss, I’m almost done with my work here… can we apply for the marriage certificate the moment we get back? I don’t care if things go backwards, I’ll marry you first and then have the grand reveal… Or, if you want to, I can propose to you first… hm?”, well, they had already proposed for a lifetime together and he didn’t want to make a huge issue out of it, their private and precious moments should only be theirs.

Still, if he has to do it, he won’t back out; this can also work as their declaration of companionship for life, but when he thinks how she will be under public scrutiny or even simply them looking at her… he couldn’t help but feel sick.

Ai… he knew he was territorial, but he thought he will be able to stand it. Was he being too much?

There is nothing like ‘too much’ when it came to her? What’s wrong in wanting your girlfriend all for yourself?

Meilin has been thinking about it for a long time, you see, no matter how modern their thinking process was, society still won’t accept a man working under a woman… at least not now, the environment she grew up in, her limited social circle were all actually pretty supportive about this ‘equal treatment’ thing, but she knew that the field they are working in, to a certain extent, still needed to go by the set rules and ideologies, and it was still dominated by men… So, even though she shouldn’t care about others, there has always been that issue in the back of her head.

She wanted to be free, but probably, she had unconsciously wished for him to be in a higher position so that, in the future, if they did get into a relationship, they won’t have to be marginalised… She was ready to fight anything and everything, but the thought if ZiXuan being under public eyes who looked down upon him, didn’t sit well with her.

Nobody can complain though… in the end, wasn’t this how society really was.

Meilin was being practical and rational… but still, hearing him not caring about that aspect at all, still made Meilin think that this man was really too good for her… the least she can do is, get better to always stay by his side.

As for the most important thing, it seems that Meilin, contrary to her own beliefs, liked to be spoiled; she may be questioning the origin of their feelings and if their relationship can happen, something just made her think that it shouldn’t be possible… but in the end, she just liked to hear him say that he loved her, she really liked it.

CREAK CREAK CREAK

It was so easy… the chains that made her feel like her presence was just supportive was really not that strong, if she forced her head and heart, it will definitely break… it was actually very easy…

She started feeling really light.

All they needed was to talk it out.

Meilin looked at the man in front of her and with a slight smile on her face, directly stated her desires, her true feelings–

“I’m controlling, even more than you think you are. If you so much as see another person, I’ll get ticked off. You have already accepted me so, you don’t get the option to back out. You will have to be mine forever. I don’t care what anyone says, I’ll stay with you. If you ever get hurt, I might kill the other side. If someone makes you sad, I’ll probably become tyrannical and shut them for their whole lives. I’m not a ‘good’ woman, I’m not cute and frail type. I talk with my fist over tears and brain over sentiments. I won’t need you to coax me and take care of my needs, but you are not allowed to think that I’m not like other woman and get tired of me… You said that you will be mine and I won’t leave any stones unturned to get you back if you try to run away. Still, you will have to be with me forever and ever. I won’t like if you betray me even more so because it’s only you… only you are in a position where I can put my life on to defend you and have a huge expectation from you… You’ll always have to stay by my side!! Are you going to be okay with all that?”, she was not used to speaking this long except for during presentations, but this involved all her feelings so, she was still panting at the end… but she had said what she wanted to and asked what she needed to.

Part of her feelings was really dark and people might call it toxic, but their life wasn’t all flowers and not every love was pink.

They are them because they are different from others and if they are happy with it, nobody gets to question them.

Well, in the first place, Meilin never saw herself as a ‘typical’ heroine, others will think otherwise, but the person she grew up into was actually normal in her eyes considering the circ.u.mstances!

She will always remain true to herself in that matter and would not change, she rather make ZiXuan accept herself and make small ammends so that they can complement each other.

She asked if he was going to be okay because she was not letting him go now and so, he didn’t get the option to still get away from her… she just needed to show him where he stands now.

Even Meilin can be demanding towards him!

As for ZiXuan, he heard her loud and clear.

Wasn’t this much drama enough?

They already went through so much so, now let’s end it all, here and right now.

SMASH

Let that last force be his… he promised to support her and that he will do!

They broke that chain together, after all, there was nothing that could hold them back.

“No need to ask, my love. You have always been the only one for me… in my past, in my present and it won’t ever change in the future”, he saw that slight haze in her eyes clear up and he felt like it was his first time watching those clear and glittering dark orbs of her… it seems, there was still some treasures hidden inside her that needed to be found.

They couldn’t help but share a pure kiss… all that was left was the lingering smell of their love and… something that was being cooked.

Both smelled it and looked back… the food was done; it was really a wonder how these two could still call themselves love birds when their stomach came before their intimate moments.

Well, nobody goes to war or fall in love with an empty stomach, right?

At least, these two who had not eaten good food for days, where good food implied something that she cooked, thought that they had enough time to love each other, for now, they should fill the other’s stomach…

Hm… nothing will change in their relationship.

They are still normal human beings, they will wake up in the morning, eat, do business, exercise a bit, talk with their family and in the end go to bed at night… if something had changed, it would be that from now on, they will wake up in the other’s arms, make sure that the other is eating by their side, to their business together and also do some ‘healthy’ exercise together, they will take some extra moments to spend with their family and when night comes, they will give a good night kiss to the other and thank them for being together.

Falling in love didn’t mean you have to dive into the ocean to find a pearl or pierce yourself with thorns to get a rose… All you need to do is be happy and make the other feel loved…

That was all it was ever about…

ZiXuan didn’t want to let her go so the two, just like conjoined twins, with ZiXuan facing her back now, walked to the kitchen counter and Meilin took out ladles of wontons with the soup and poured them over the already plated noodles, she also put out the bokchoy and shitake mushroom, cut them into thin slices before putting them on the bowl.

She brought a spoonful of soup to taste before serving and gently blew on it, but before she could taste it, ZiXuan–

“Ahhhnnn…”
