Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 818: How Long can Your Love Last?

Chu Lui lowered his head and met with the mesmerizing eyes of the woman and her smiling lips. The muscles on his body tensed up, and he could not contain the urges of a man.

He wanted her, he wanted her very badly. This feeling of losing control almost made him break down, and he was going to destroy heaven and earth.

He lay his body down as his fingers touched her face shakily, moving downward, past her brows, her eyes, her cheeks, and her beautiful nose. The scent that he would never forget for the rest of his life combined with the air and with his soul.

In the end, his fingers caressed her red lips and touched it gently.

Suddenly, the woman smiled and stuck her tongue out to lick his finger, and it was just like a volcano erupting. He could not take it anymore, and he held her face, pressing his lips against hers. At first, it was just like a dragonfly gliding through water gently and intimately. Then, he started to burn, and suddenly, he pressed the woman against the wall behind him. However, he still used one hand to protect her back. At that moment, he wanted to take away all her breath, her person, and her life.

“Ruoxin... Ruoxin...”

His lips harshly rubbed against hers as he demanded to take away her everything. This intensity, this fear could not stop until death.

He did not notice that, at this time, the woman was staring with her eyes wide open as thoughts were running wild underneath her pair of clear eyes.

She closed her eyes and used her thin arms to circle the man’s neck.

He had paid a million dollars; should she be more professional? Besides, it was not like she had no feelings.

When he got her reply, Chu Lui was elated beyond words.

This lasted until both of them lay down on the soft couch. By then, half of Chu Lui’s clothes were already off, and Xia Ruoxin only had a thin piece of sleeping gown on which could easily drop from their movements. Even though she was skinny and did not have much meat, it was lucky that her body was proportionate so it did not make Chu Lui feel like he was hugging a bag of bones.

Yes, only her. It was only her who could make him feel so much stuff. This was the meeting of a man and a woman in their bodies and their souls. No one else could give him the same, and it was not because of others.

It was because he did not love them, he did not care to love them.

“Ruoxin, I love you.” The man’s voice was hoarse, and at that moment, one could hear the feeling in his voice. Even though his eyes were deep and his expression was still light, one could still vaguely feel that intense feeling and love he had. It had been over twenty years, and not one day in these days and nights did he not think of her.

Luckily, she came back.

Luckily, she was still around.

The one ‘I love you’ made Xia Ruoxin open her eyes and her body shake. He did not notice the sarcasm behind her gaze and did not know how much she despised the word ‘love’.

This entire night was like flipping the ocean; they were akin to fishes that had been out of the water for a very long time who desperately wanted air from the other party and took away what the other party had before incorporating it into their bones. They wanted to live, they had to live... they could live.

Even until the peak was over, the man’s hands were still encircled around the woman’s shoulders tightly and possessively, preventing anyone from snatching her away.

Xia Ruoxin turned around, and the man behind her encircled her again. The pair of hands was tightly holding onto her as if he was afraid that she was going to leave.

She was a light sleeper, and it was because of this that she knew that the man had woken up a few times in the middle as if he was afraid that she was going to leave. He only relaxed when he saw that she was around.

Soon, stable breathing came from the man, and she knew that he was sleeping.

Slowly, she pulled his hands away, stood up, and took the sleeping gown. She wore it and walked to the balcony, allowing the wind outside to blow over and wake her muddled brain up.

Chu Lui, how long would your love last? How long would your love stay? I want to know if you would still insist on your joking love after you have been betrayed.

Surprisingly, one day, at one point; she would associate the love that she stood for with the word ‘joking’. Outside the balcony, millions of households had their lights turned off; and there was only dusk around. However, no one knew how many people were there in this world that could not sleep the entire night like her or had insomnia.

“Why are you not sleeping?” The man walked over and hugged the woman from the back.

Just that, this hug made his brows unnaturally tighten. “You’ve slimmed again.”

Xia Ruoxin tore her lips, and she did not only tear her wounds but also the memories of the past. Whoever in the hospital that had to rely on machines and nutrients to extend their lives would never become as fat as a pig. Even now, she could not eat much.

Suddenly, she turned around; and her cold expression was replaced with a light flirt look.

“Mr. Chu, don’t forget about my one million.” She extended her fingers to poke Chu Lui’s chest. “One million dollars. Not a penny less.”

Chu Lui felt as though he was hurt and was even more afraid that she was harming herself. If the relationship between them was eventually calculated based on money, then what were they? A lady and her patron?

He could not accept this relationship, but up to her.

He placed his hand on the loose strands of hair by Xia Ruoxin’s ear. “If you wish, I’ll settle it with you personally.”

Xia Ruoxin did not respond. She held her clothes tightly and lay down on the bed in the hotel. It was going to be daybreak soon, and it was only now that she could really sleep. Sometimes, she wondered how good it would be to not wake up from this sleep; how good it would be if she did not dream.

Just that, when she opened her eyes again, she could still hear her intense breathing.

“What’s wrong?” A man extended his hand over and placed it on her forehead. “Why are you sweating so much? Are you sick?”

“Nothing.” Xia Ruoxin pushed away his hand harshly and walked to the bathroom.

Chu Lui put his hand down slowly and felt the pain at the back of his hand; after the pain, it was indescribable devastation.

What on earth happened between them?
