Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 68 - Until That Day...

At the An residence, An Meiying was shocked to see Caihong fuming out of the villa. She didn't know what happened but just after ten minutes she entered the An residence, she already left in a hurry and anger.

What must have happened? Why did Caihong leave so suddenly?

She dialed Shuang's number.

She gritted her teeth. "This girl! She never picks up my call!"

Finally, Shuang picked it up for the fourth time. "Mom, when somebody is not picking your calls, you should take the hint and stop bothering that person."

An Meiying wanted to smack her daughter. "How dare you ignore your mother's calls? My fingers are going to fall off calling you so many times!"

"That will be such a relief now, wouldn't it? To me."

"Shuang! Sometimes I wonder if you are really my daughter or not."

"Mom, I have the same feelings. Are you sure I didn't get switched at birth accidentally?"

Her nostrils flared in anger.

"You... forget it. I want to ask you something important-"

"Mom, not about the cruise trip, okay? I am dead tired."

"I am not talking about that! I am asking if you did something to Caihong some ten minutes back?"

"Huh?"

"Caihong came to An residence, but then she suddenly left soon enough. She seemed quite furious too. So I am asking you if you told her or did something?"

Shuang frowned at the other end.

"What are you talking about? How would I know? I haven't talked to her since we left the ship."

An Meiying felt weirder now.

"Then where did she go?"

"I am not an esper, Mom."

"Shut up."

"Mom, if she is angry then it would only mean that she went to meet Xiaosi. He is the only person whom she is always furious at. He must have provoked her or something again."

"...Really now?"

But her instinct said that something had happened in the background.

"Bye."

"Wait! Did anything happen with Zhiyuan on the cruise?"

"Sheesh Mom, no! I already said I am not interested in him."

An Meiying flared. "Shuang! Did you forget why I sent you on the ship?"

"And I already did one of them. Caihong must have sung my praises. So, forget about Zhiyuan, okay?"

Shuang unceremoniously hung up.

An Meiying stomped her foot. "Stupid girl!"

"Meiying! What is this about Zhiyuan I heard just now?"

She stiffened. Turning back, she saw An Guoting, looking at her anxiously.

He grabbed her arm. "Tell me. Why did you talk about Zhiyuan just now?"

He didn't seem to hear the actual conversation.

An Meiying said, "Dear, t-that he was... Shuang said that he was also on the cruise."

An Guoting widened his eyes. His face turned pale and as white as a sheet.

"Zhiyuan?"

An Meiying nodded. "I know it is shocking. They met after seven years so...I-I just hope that Caihong doesn't do anything in the rush of emotions...you know what I mean? She loved him in the past and as her mother, I just don't want any accidents. After all, they are married now," she egged him.

"No chance!"

An Meiying jolted as he sharply raised his voice. She was taken aback.

"They should stay away from each other! And so does Shuang! I don't want either of them having to do with Zhiyuan or the Han family!" His nostrils flared and he took deep breaths. There was a sense of panic in his gaze.

An Meiying was puzzled.

What is wrong with him? Why is he flipping out so much?

She said, "Of course dear. But…" she pursed her lips, "I worry about sister-in-law Guang. You know how she always favored Caihong. It is possible that she might want them back-"

"Impossible! No means no! Zhiyuan and Caihong's relationship is already over long back. Nobody will say or do anything to get them back together! I will talk to Guang too."

She inwardly smirked.

This will make things easier.

Though he forbade Shuang too, she didn't care about it much. She would keep finding other chances to make her closer to Zhiyuan.

An Guoting exhaled and calmed down. "I am sorry for suddenly yelling like that. It just took me by shock. I just don't want my daughter to get entangled with him again."

She hugged his arm. "Of course, dear. I want the same for Caihong."

He nodded.

Shuang fiddled with the phone in her hands as she was lost in her thoughts.

Zhu Xiaosi, what have you done now?

She felt a pair of strong arms hugging her waist from behind. "I hope it is me you are thinking about so deeply," A gruff, hoarse voice spoke closer to her ear.

Shuang slightly turned her face and smiled. "Sorry to burst your bubble Mr. Soo, but it is not you."

Yunru rested his chin on her shoulder. "Tsk. Cruel as always."

He was half-naked and freshly bathed. She could smell the aroma of the soap wafting from him.

"You come after so long from some damn trip and you say you don't even think about me?"

Shuang raised her brow. "How long can three days feel?"

He pulled her closer to his chest. He leaned until their lips were only centimeters apart. "As long as three centuries for me," he whispered.

Yunru pressed his lips on her hard and fast. They hungrily captured every corner until he flicked his tongue to part her lips. Shuang moaned and opened her mouth to give him more access. Their tongues meshed and collided, making wet slurping sounds in the room.

She wrapped her hands around his toned and muscular chest, making her breasts bounce on them. In no time, their clothes already fell on the floor, with the burning desire for each other evident in their eyes.

Their naked bodies hugged each other on the bed, foreplaying for a long time.

"Ah!"

Shuang gasped as Yunru thrusted his hardened length inside her. They moved their hips in sync as their most sensitive parts passionately danced the tango.

After an unknown amount of time passed, they lay in each other's arms. Shuang already drifted off to sleep.

Yunru stared at her sleeping face. He gently tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear. He kissed her forehead and whispered,

"Think about me a lot Shuang. Think only about me. Lots and lots. Until the day comes when you fall in love with me."
