Empty Promises: The Ceo Cunning Bride - Chapter 184
“What do you think you’re doing?” Xiong Jingfei tried moving her head away, but her neck was locked in place by Yang Zheyan’s determined hand.
“I’m doing what should have done from the start.” Yang Zheyan immediately tightens his grip around her waist and neck. “Didn’t you say you would love this more than anything?”
Yang Zheyan purposely took his time inching closer and closer to her face. He could feel her back tensing up even though she was putting on a strong front.
“T-the contract! You signed that you wouldn’t touch me.” Xiong Jingfei instinctively closed her eyes. “This is one of them.”
Yang Zheyan backed away but had a hint of a satisfied smirk. In his arms, he didn’t let her go but put her in a standing position next to him. He looked over at the people that were still staring at them, anticipating what was going to happen next.
In his soothing and heart-warming voice, “I would like to make an informal announcement here. Xiong Jingfei and I are engaged and for a very long time now. We couldn’t decide on a date to make an official announcement. But on this joyous night, my fiancee couldn’t wait to show others that I’m hers, as displayed earlier.”
If they weren’t the center of attention, Xiong Jingfei would have stepped on Yang Zheyan’s toes.
“We will make sure to invite all of you to celebrate our big day with us.” Yang Zheyan said, hinting the invitation will not be for the engagement party but to their wedding.
The crowd immediately went into shock with Yang Zheyan’s affirmation on Xiong Jingfei’s claim. Then the room became filled with everyone congratulating them.
Xiong Jingfei tried stopping her face from showing that she was scorning them. One second, they accused her of being the third party and that she was lying. The next second, they believed her because of Yang Zheyan.
However, not everyone was happy with their engagement announcement. The bachelor Yang Zheyan was off the market. They thought Wen Yingyue would have snatched him and had no chance, but who would have thought it was by an unknown woman. A woman whose family wasn’t good enough to be part of their world.
Yang Zheyan grabbed a champagne glass to toast with them. “Thank you. This woman couldn’t make me any happier.”
He took a sip of it but wanted to finish the rest in his mouth elsewhere.
Xiong Jingfei’s chin was grabbed again and forced to be tilted upward. The next thing she knew, something soft and warm was pressing against hers. Then something cold and sweet poured into her mouth.
Yang Zheyan only stopped when the last drop left his mouth to hers. He licked his bottom lips with a real satisfied smile and touched her champagne-wet lips. “You looked like you wanted some.”
Xiong Jingfei pushed herself to smile at this surprise. When did she look like she wanted some!? Yin Yuan was still holding her leftover! She would have marched over there if she desperately wanted some!
She thought he was not going to do it anymore, but he attacked her out of nowhere. So right now, she’ll have to act like she was totally fine with his kiss. She cannot give any opening to let Wen Yingyue between them, yet.
“Darling~!” Xiong Jingfei lightly punched him three times on the chest. “It’s unfair that only you marked me.”
“I’ll like you to mark me too.” Yang Zheyan held the champagne glass up for her to take.
Xiong Jingfei right away aimed for the snow-white collar sticking out. She made a big smooch and left a pair of cherry-red lips. She turned her head but more towards Wen Yingyue and smiled, “Ladies! Sorry, but he’s mine.”
Yang Zheyan was a bit disappointed. He thought she was going to mark him the same way he had marked her, but what she did wasn’t bad. Her mark was clear, and any women coming near him will be reminded of Xiong Jingfei.
Wen Yingyue’s lips went into a tight line as she watched the couple. She waited for Yang Zheyan to get cured and was willing to wait longer if she had to. He was supposed to be her husband!
Their family is perfect for one another, but he is kissing another woman that is not her. He is known to be an over the top clean person, but he easily touched Xiong Jingfei’s lips and allowed her to touch him. Why didn’t Yang Zheyan’s family pick her to be their daughter-in-law?
Wen Yingyue could see that his parents liked her, and his mother treated her like she was already their daughter-in-law.
While the couple acted like no one else was in the same room with them, Lu Weisheng wanted to get away from them as fast as possible. The longer he stayed with them, the more confused they were putting him in. Did they solve their problem without him knowing?
Yin Yuan was utterly repulsed by Xiong Jingfei’s shameless acting. He didn’t think she had it in her! He put down his drink, unable to digest the last of the liquid.
Still, he couldn’t help but applaud her acting. He should have his agency recruit her when she wants to get into the entertainment field.
“Yes, I am hers.” Yang Zheyan grazed his fingers down Xiong Jingfei’s right arm. Then he grabbed her hand and pulled her into the middle of the dance floor. “We should at least celebrate our informal announcement with a dance.”
He didn’t wait for her answer as his arms were already in place on Xiong Jingfei’s body. All they were waiting for in the silent room was the music cue.
“M-music!” Lu Weisheng had to be the person to say it because the musicians were confused about whether they should play.
The musicians thought that the first song for Miss Wen Yingyue’s first dance with her partner. Still, they didn’t question it and began playing.
Allowing the song and day meant for Wen Yingyue’s debut back into high society become Xiong Jingfei and Yang Zheyan’s engagement announcement day.
