Xie Eun's heart started to falter as she felt surrounded by his scent. His slight stubble scraped across his shoulder and when he said nothing, Xie Eun also kept her silence.After a while, her heart slowly started to calm down and she could concentrate again.She realized that they had started to move away from the port.

She looked out into the dark night looking for a topic to talk about but nothing would come to mind.Before she could say anything, Wolf said,"Eun-a, you smell beautiful..i missed you this week."

​​

Unable to say anything, all Xie Eun could do was hum in response. Wolf rubbed his nose at the place where her neck met her shoulders and gave it a small peck, causing a shudder to run through her and goosebumps to break out on her skin.

Finally, Xie Eun found a topic in her numb mind finally and said,"Th..thank you for the postcards.They are really beautiful."

"Are they?"

For a moment, Xie Eun wondered if he had even seen the gift or if he had simply asked his secretary to get her a gift..At this thought,she felt anger course through her..But his next words dispelled it and her doubts

"Those photos are the photographers visions.He has clicked them in the middle of this sea.That is where we are going.But Eun-a I want to see the ocean from your eyes not some professional photographer's.Will you show me?"

Xie Eun felt confused at this and tried to turn her head to look at him but that move simply made him cuddle more into her neck so that she had to tilt he head to the other side to give him more space."What do you mean?"

"Eun-a,your night is for me.Today and tomorrow.These will be our time to get to know each other.But during the day, you will have your privacy and time.Consider it a mini vacation. A calm before the storm.Once you are back you will have to handle your studies and training with me. Plus the hassle of the Lu's.. So this weekend is for you."

While Xie Eun absorbed his words, his hands slowly started to move up her arms..Slowly, his hands settled on her stomach and the little distance between them closed. He placed a small peck on the side of her jaw as he continued,"But you just have to say the word and Ineill make everything disappear. Then you can simply focus on your dream of being a photographer."

Tempting.Xie Eun decided that Wolf was temptation reincarnate.Be it the way he was tempting her to surrender with his kisses or the offer he laid to get rid of everything for her.

Xie Eun's slightly stiff body slowly started to relax and lean back into his embrace.Her mind had slowly started to accept his protection and laid down the defensive stance.

In a voice that had turned husky without her knowledge, Xie Eun said,"No..it is enough that you are willing to teach me everything.I want to face these difficulties.Only then can I call myself General Xie's daughter proudly."With a hesitant pause, she answered,"And be able to stand by you equally.."

She felt his body stiffen against her when she said this.And then his arms tightened around her for a moment before loosening again. She did not know how he felt about her claim but she knew in her heart that this was true.Throughout her relationship with Si Jing, she had been unconsciously made to feel as if she was not worthy enough.And so she had learnt from her mistake...Oh, she knew she was worthy enough but to shut some mouths, a person needed power of their own.She could only rely on her husband's glory for a while.

"A hundred of me are not worthy of you, my beautiful innocent wife.But, Inpromise you this, whatever your heart's desire will be, I will fulfill it.In return I just want you to accept my love and care..Hmm?"

Touched with his sweet words, Xie Eun nodded slowly, but then asked another question that was burning her inside."Wolf?What if you fall for someone?Will you abandon me then?Or discard me ruthlessly the way you discard your enemies."

In a sudden move, Wolf jerled her around and she looked into the fiery green eyes surrounded by a silver mask and he looked back at her brave but insecure ones..Cupping her face, Wolf placed a tender kiss on her forehead before proclaiming,"Eun-a, my heart already belongs to you.No one, not even you can make me fall out of love with you. Whatevet you do is right for memIf you choose to be with me so be it.If you choose to love another man, I might go berserk but I will let you go.My love for you is only to make you happy."

Tears started to flow from Xie Eun's eyes as his words settled in her heart.How had such a man fallen for a silly girl like her, she would never know.But she would forever cherish this person.Even if she was scared now that she would never love him, her heard that thundered against her assured her that she already cared for him.Raising up on her tiptoes,for the first time, it was Xie Eun who slowly pressed her lips to his. Her own hands, went to his face, her palm rubbing against his warm face while her fingers against his cold mask.Her hands slowly wrapped around his neck and then the two people were not in passion. Rubbing their lips against each other, their tongues spelt until finally Wolf moved back and broke the kiss.Picking her up bridal style, he walked towards the master bedroom his eyes never leaving hers..
