“I want to…”

I want to know who you really are. I want to know why I was chosen to do these missions. I want to know whether you still hold those memories in your heart and still love me.

Chu Jiao had a lot of things she wanted to ask, but now that it had truly come to this moment, she didn’t know where to start nor which questions to ask first.

Moreover, at their current situation, she still was unsure whether Xiao Qi was the person she was looking for this entire time. If she suddenly blurted out these misgivings, would he really respond back?

The man’s expression seemed to be calmly telling her that regardless of what she said, he would always have a way to cleverly respond.

Since it was like this, she felt that there was no need to say it.

The lift seemed to have finally reached the ground floor and issued a beeping reminder. However, Chu Jiao immediately pressed the close button before pressing the button located at the very top. She had waited for several days to get an opportunity to be alone with this extremely busy Director Xiao, or rather, he was actively avoiding her. Now that the golden opportunity had presented itself, she wasn’t going to let it go so easily.

“I want Director Xiao… to compensate with his body.” While saying these suggestive words, Chu Jiao went on her tiptoes and suddenly seized the man’s lips, watching his expressionless face finally change to satisfaction.

The very moment she went for a kiss, Chu Jiao was already prepared to be strongly pushed away or harshly scolded into feeling shame. Because, if Xiao Qi weren’t truly ‘him,’ he would definitely feel disgusted by this kind of behavior, and she believed that through this kiss, she would be able to get a sense of who he truly was.

The instantaneous invasion of her tongue was not met with any impediment, so Chu Jiao was able to easily part the man’s lips and hook onto his tongue.

A soft sigh rang out beside her ear, and in an instant, Chu Jiao’s waist felt a scorching warmth growing. The man’s hand held her firmly and turned her around, abruptly pressing her against the wall. With one hand propping beside her head, he made a true and genuine wall slam.

The man’s tongue excitedly hooked around hers, easily suppressing her earlier expedition. However, he followed the retracting tongue and became a guest in hers instead, tempting her into a deeper and more passionate kiss.

Such a familiar move made Chu Jiao’s body instinctively quiver, and she could finally let go of the last thread of suspicion she was harboring in her heart, wrapping her arms around the man’s neck tightly and throwing herself into the kiss.

It was him! She just knew it. It was really him!

The two people’s heavy breaths intermixed inside the lift. The scorching deep kiss erased the sadness and loneliness hidden in Chu Jiao’s heart ever since she had returned to this world, as well as breaking the man’s expressionless facade he maintained for several days.

When Chu Jiao finally couldn’t breathe anymore, Xiao Qi abruptly broke off the kiss and lowered his head, gently kissing the tip of Chu Jiao’s nose, “It’s already been so long, but you still don’t know when to take a breath, don’t you?”

Chu Jiao immediately knew what the man was referring to. It was during the first world, when she didn’t know anything, and he had taught her how to breathe and how to kiss, bit by bit.

“I knew it was you!” Chu Jiao glared at the man’s dark eyes, the rims of her eyes gradually turning red with infuriation, “You big fat liar!”

She couldn’t help but angrily hammer the man’s shoulder, “You big fat liar! You always told me to wait for you!”

“Yes, it was my mistake… There won’t be a next time..” The man didn’t stop Chu Jiao from venting her frustrations on him, and instead, started pecking on her brows and her eyes, “Don’t cry, Jiaojiao…”

Once they had reached the topmost floor, the lift doors opened. This floor was a private apartment, the surrounding was elegant while the price was exorbitant. It was said that all four walls were made of crystal clear glass, and one could see a clear overview of the whole city through the windows.

Xiao Qi did not press the 1st floor button for them to descend again but instead carried Chu Jiao in, taking out the key from his pocket and opening the apartment.

“It looks like Director Xiao also has an estate in here,” Chu Jiao curiously looked around the room and saw that it was colored in a monochromatic style, without any signs of human habitation anywhere, but she couldn’t help but utter out words of jealousy, “After you finish your work everyday, do you head straight to this apartment with your assistant to play keeping the beauty in a golden house1金屋藏嬌 means a golden house to keep one’s mistress, or keeping the beauty in a golden house to fit the sentence here. It refers to a magnificent house built for a beloved woman.?”

Before she started transmigrating, she had heard some gossip through the grapevine at work that Wen Jiaojiao often visited the topmost floor, and at that time, she thought it was because the Wen Family also owned some type of estate in this building, but she didn’t think it was Xiao Qi’s.

“Play keeping the beauty in a golden house?” The man threw Chu Jiao to the comfy sofa and covered her with his body, “That’s right…”

Before Chu Jiao could even frown, her attention was once again seized by a kiss with the man.

“I want to keep you in my golden house…” A fervent hand snaked around her waist, about to travel upwards.

Chu Jiao quickly recovered her senses, just in time, and held the hands that were attempting to light a fire in her.

“You better clarify everything today, and don’t think about doing anything else!”

Instant regret flashed across the man’s eyes as he had wanted to hoodwink his way through this, but the little lady had already grown up now and was not as gullible as she was in the beginning.

However, wasn’t this what he wanted in the first place?

The man retracted his hands and propped Chu Jiao up on the sofa, turning to her and cupping her face.

His fingers slowly streaked across her beautiful features, stopping at the tear-shaped mole.

Fine, it was time to let her know the truth. He stared at her fair blemishless face, his gaze looking somewhere deeper through this face.

But, would she still love him once she knew the entire truth?

He didn’t know.
