Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Blue County Villa.

Qiao Sang was on a sofa as she watched the news. It was about a car accident in Bei City caused by a drunk truck driver. The truck dove deep into a river from a highway and sank.

The man were killed and the vehicle was destroyed.

Qi Yanli stepped out from his study room to see Qiao Sang engrossed in the horrific tragedy.

Qi Yanli took the remote to turn off the TV. Not expecting Qi Yanli to be there, Qiao Sang turned around only to be lifted and carried in his arms.

Kissing her, Qi Yanli said in a hushed tone, “Aren't you scared watching news like that?”

Traumatized by Qiao Sang's accident, to this day, Qi Yanli's heart still pounded as if he was having an anxiety attack whenever he saw images of rivers or lakes.

How could she not have any reaction seeing a man lose his life in a river?

Qiao Sang got lost in her thoughts hearing the question.

Qi Yanli placed her on a big cloudy bed, then peppered kisses on her everywhere, “Zoning out? You're with me now.”

In swift motions, Qi Yanli slid her clothes down then quickly undressed Qiao Sang completely.

“Qi Yanli-”

“Mm?” Qi Yanli was already caught in the moment.

He enthusiastically seduced Qiao Sang, who was shivering at this point, “I don't think I'm ready for it-”

Qi Yanli cut her off, “Sang. I need to do this to know that you are real. For some reason, I have a feeling that this is just a dream and you could leave me anytime soon. I want to bond with you deeply by making love to you.”

Then, Qi Yanli buried his face in her shoulder. He let out a sigh as he took in this possibly fleeting moment.

Qiao Sang cradled his head then comforted, “Don't worry. I won't go away as long as you don't let go.”

“I could never.” Qi Yanli whispered suggestively as he kissed along her ear, neck, collar bone, then her chest.

He suddenly stopped as he moved away from her to take a good look.
