"I have a lot to tell you, but first I want to apologise for being such a jerk back then," Xiaofei apologised, staring at Shui Shui's indifferent expression.

"I am glad that you know how big of a jerk you were," Shui Shui mumbled angrily. She tilted her head sideways.

​​

"I shouldn't have ignored you like I did, I am sorry. My company encountered some problems that is why I was busy sorting out the issue. I didn't have time for myself not to talk about meeting you. I know I was wrong for not explaining things to you," Xiaofei said meekly, but his words did not move her.

"Why are you explaining? You can go on ignoring me. I don't care anymore," Shui Shui said nonchalantly.

"I am sorry Ok? I know I was wrong so please forgive me, hmmm," Xiaofei said, forcefully grabbing her hands. He caressed it affectionately. Shui Shui secretly smiled, seeing how sincere Xiaofei was, but her actions and words said otherwise.

"I can see that you have nothing meaningful to say, I will take my leave now," Shui Shui said as she forcefully pulled her hands out of his firm grip. She stood up and walked away, but Xiaofei went after her. Before she could walk far, Xiaofei pulled her wrist by force, because of the force he applied on his wrist, she ended up embracing him. Jin Xiaofei wrapped his hands around the astonished Shui Shui. His actions left Shui Shui speechless. Her head was too blank to find a suitable word to scold him.

"I am sincerely sorry for hurting you, please forgive me. I will make sure it doesn't happen again," Jin Xiaofei said, still embracing her. Despite being busy at work, the thought about her never left his mind. The day she called him and suggested he should treat her out for dinner, he was in a meeting with an important client. The last time he heard her voice was that day because since then she has not called him and neither did he call her. He has seen her a few times when she came to the company for the photoshoot of the new perfume and body lotion they just released for the New Year, but the problem is he didn't make his presence known to her.

"If you are sorry like you say you are, then release me," Shui Shui said meekly. Her voice was not cold like it was earlier.

"Ok, I will release you but first promise you won't leave after I let go of you?" Xiaofei quickly made a deal. He was scared she would try to leave him again if he pulled out.

"I promise," Shui Shui said, tapping his shoulders as a sign to tell him to let go of her. Xiaofei slowly unwrapped his hands around her back. Since they were up close, he had a clearer view of her face. From the dark makeup, he guessed that she didn't wash the makeup off after the filming was over. Her black shiny leather jacket, boots, black shorts and the gold necklace on her neck made him quickly guess that her filming had to do with going to the club. His gaze moved from her face to her red, sexy lips. The sexiness of her lips looks tempting. Shui Shui just watched as Jin Xiaofei gave her passionate glances.

"Can I have a taste of it again?" Jin Xiaofei blurted, his gaze still on her lips. Shui Shui who did not understand what he meant just stared at him. The look on her face showed she was confused.

Jin Xiaofei thought her silence meant she had given him the permission to do what he wanted. His lips inched closer to her lips. Shui Shui instantly understood what he meant by what he said. Her confused brain just went dead instantly. As she saw him getting closer, Shui Shui's heart started pounding quickly. She was afraid it would jump out of her chest. She held her breath and subconsciously closed her eyes, expecting the feeling of his sexy lips against hers.

Jin Xiaofei smiled triumphantly when he saw Shui Shui closed her eyes. He did what she wanted him to do; he kissed her. He had promised himself not to commit the same mistake he did the last time if another opportunity like that arises. He had vowed to taste her delicious lips to his fullest.

He cupped her face with both hands for a deeper kiss. Jin Xiaofei did not have a problem making Shui Shui follow his pace and rhythm because she responded perfectly to his kisses. Little seductive moans escaped from her mouth, sedating Jin Xiaofei even more. Jin Xiaofei refused to let go. His kisses were gentle, but the effect it had on Shui Shui was immense. Her feet lost its strength, Jin Xiaofei had to hold her firmly by the waist to protect her from falling down. He explored every corner of her mouth with his hot tongue. Despite how hot they felt, that did not stop them from still kissing. They kissed for a long time before they both parted their lips. Xiaofei was amazed at the look on her face. She looked flustered and breathless. After he regain his breathe, the next thing he did stunned Shui Shui.

"Miss Qing, please be my girlfriend," Jin Xiaofei said, holding both her hands.

Shui Shui: "...."

The proposal came as a surprise to Shui Shui. She had never expected him to confess his feelings for her. Everything just happened too fast, making her innocent mind to momentarily blackout.

"I like you very much. After our first meeting, I couldn't get my mind off you. I have wanted to tell you this for a long time now but I was afraid it was just my wishful thinking but now I am certain of one thing," Jin Xiaofei said affectionately caressing her hands.

"You are certain of what?" Shui Shui asked, staring into his dark eyes in search of answers.

"I am certain that our feeling is mutual," Jin Xiaofei said confidently. After the incident that occurred in the restaurant parking lounge, he has been thinking deeply about why Shui Shui pecked him on lips instead of his cheeks like he did if she wanted to avenge herself. The only answers that came to his mind after much thinking and analysing was that either Qing Shui liked him or was only toying with his feelings.

Shui Shui walked to the table and sat down. Jin Xiaofei likewise did the same thing.

"I reject your proposal," Shui Shui said, crossing her legs. She rested her back against the chair and stare at Jin Xiaofei's disappointed expression.

"Why? Am I not handsome or rich enough? Do you hate my style or are you rejecting me because of what I did?" Xiaofei asked, disappointment written all over his face. Some minutes ago, he was so sure that Shui Shui liked him, but he did not know what went wrong. "Was my kiss so terrible that is why she doesn't want me anymore?" Xiaofei thought, staring at Shui Shui.

"You are handsome in fact let me rephrase it. You are breathtakingly handsome and I am not after your money. I am very wealthy but that does not mean you are not rich enough and the last but not the least I am not rejecting you because of what you did...,"

"Then what is the problem if not all the reasons you have mentioned?" Xiaofei asked firmly.

"We don't even know each other, it will sound very outrageous if I just agree to be your girlfriend without even knowing a thing about you. The only information I know about you is your name and the name of your company, nothing more," Shui Shui said, staring at him. Xiaofei was very relieved when he heard her reason for rejecting him. For a minute there, he had thought hhe was not her ideal type of guy.

"I know a bit about you. I know that you are the only child of your parents. Your father, Mr Qing Yan is the Chairman of the biggest financial institutions in the world, Qing's Financial Institution. Your mother is late, my condolences," Jin Xiaofei narrated staring at her.

"Anything else?" Shui Shui asked curiously, staring at him.

"You became an actress at nineteen when you were still in the University of Harvard. Your first movie, 'ETERNAL LOVE' was a big hit. The universe got to know you through this movie, and at the moment you are the most popular actress of all times," Xiaofei said. Shui Shui smiled proudly when she realised that Xiaofei did a lot of research before he came there.

"Are you satisfied now with my answers?" Xiaofei asked anxiously. He held his breath without even realising it.

"Yes, but....,"

"But what?" Xiaofei interrupted her before she could complete her sentence.

"You know so many things about me but I know nothing about you and knowing all those things you mention does not necessarily mean you know me. You don't know my likes and dislikes and so do I. Tell me, what boyfriend or girlfriend doesn't even know her boyfriend or girlfriend's favourite dish?" Shui Shui asked seriously, staring at him for answers.
