Yu Lili did not expect him to pounce on her this way . She instinctively struggled a little at first, but then she submitted soon enough .
Ou Ming wrapped her in his arms and moved gently . He pushed her lightly onto the bed that she had just made .
The kiss was hot and needy, with their lips continuously exploring each other . Ou Ming started to get impatient .
With his arm circled around her waist, Ou Ming eyes bore into hers, and his voice rumbled in her ear, “How long have we not seen each other?”
“Four days . ” Yu Lili rested her hands lightly on his hips, feeling the need and impatience emanate out from him . Yu Lili tilted her face up to his and smiled .
“It’s been five days . ” Ou Ming nibbled at her lips . “We’re ahead of Paris by seven hours . So it’s been five days . ”
“Is that how it’s counted?” Yu Lili had the feeling that he was teasing her and blinked at him .
Ou Ming brought her even closer to himself, their breaths mingling . “Let’s change how we count it then . There are 24 hours in a day . Eight are for working, eight are for sleeping, and we can spend the remaining eight hours a day together . Counted this way, how many hours have I missed out on?”
“How can it be counted that way?”
“Why not?” Ou Ming puckered his lips . Both their lips were barely apart—almost touching, in fact, and Lili felt her pulse quicken all of a sudden .
This close proximity was more unnerving to her than a direct kiss .
“Once an hour . So tell me, how many times do you have to make it up to me?”
Yu Lili felt her face heat up . She pushed him away and shrieked, “You big bad wolf!”
“When you love a person, you’ll want to make love to her at every moment . You’re the one who said that! Have you forgotten?”
“I did not!”
“Don’t you try to wrangle your way out of this! You said it . ” Ou Ming held on to her hands tightly and lowered his head to silence her with his lips .
The action was gentle, full of warmth and love .
His palms made his way down her body, snaking their way in through the opening of her clothes . He could feel her warm and smooth skin . Yu Lili closed her eyes and held on to him tightly . Her silence was consent .
Winters in Kingstown were never considered harsh . All Yu Lili wore was a single layer of clothing underneath a loose sweater, and Ou Ming easily divested her of them .
Her creamy, white body shivered when it came in contact with the cool air . Ou Ming lay on top of her, raining soft and tender kisses all over her body .
She raised her hips instinctively and wrapped her legs around him, calling out, “Ou Ming… ooh…”
Ou Ming silenced her moans with his lips . His hands worshipped her body without reserve, as his tongue plunged into her wet mouth over and over .
Out of the blue, the cell phone in Ou Ming’s pocket began ringing .
Ou Ming stiffened and straightened up .
His breathing was still unsteady . He looked at the phone and saw that the call was coming from his mother . It took him a moment to calm his breathing, and he dangled the phone in front of Yu Lili . “It’s my mom . I have to answer the call . ”
“Mmm . ” Yu Lili made a sound of affirmation and covered herself with her sweater .
“Mom . ”
“Xiao Ou, it’s almost New Year’s . Hurry home . Let’s have dinner together as a family . ”
“Mom, I’m still at work . Why don’t you and Dad start without me?”
“You’re still working? Where are you working?”
“I’m at the office . Don’t wait for me . ”
“The office? Stop lying to me! I’m in your office right now!” Qiao Ziqing’s voice was laced in anger . “Where are you now? Don’t tell me you went to meet that woman!”
