Closer

She never knew his words could cause such a lethal storm inside her. All he said were few words but all the walls she built beside her in these years crushed down in crumbles.

Before he could complete the sentence he was saying the figure in his arms turned and crashed her soft pink lips on his. Those cold lips dwelled deeper and became passionate in just few seconds. Mo Xiao responded to her kiss almost instantly, his hands circled her waist and drew her closer colliding her with his chest. Sia felt weak in the knees and nearly stumbled but his hands helped her stand firm. She put her hands behind his neck comfortably to balance herself. Mo Xiao left her only when he felt that her body was stiffening and she was out of breath. She panted heavily the moment his lips left hers. He chuckled looking at her glistening red face. 'Why does it look like she had zero experience in kissing? She was breathless so soon.' He thought smiling.

The moon light above made her look more alluring, he couldn't help but lean down to kiss her again. She instantly covered her mouth and glared at him, 'This guy, why is he so impatient now that I kissed him once. He won't even let me catch my breath properly before asking for more.' She thought.

"Let's go. Even though you are wearing coat it's cold. We can talk inside the car or somewhere comfortable." He said before loosening his grip on her waist at which she nodded. (Yes, his hands were still on her waist holding her ;) tch… impatient)

She turned back to look at her own car before looking at him. "Come with me, I'll tell Xu Xin to drop the car at your place early in the morning." He said before grabbing her hand and taking her towards his own car.

'I'm entering lion's den. He won't take advantage of me right? Should I let him? Even though we are getting married we should wait until we are married right? What if he gets angry if I oppose him?' she thought to herself.

Looking at her grave and scared expression he could tell this fool was overthinking, he silently approached her and whispered in her ears, "I'll keep you wrapped as a surprise gift for myself until wedding night so stop overthinking, okay?" his hot breath literally took her breath away, she nearly forgot to breath when she noticed that his face was inches away from his.

She quickly avoided him and went towards the passenger seat and sat inside the car without waiting for him. He laughed at the figure that ran away from him like a scaredy cat.

He quietly drove towards a café near her apartment after calling Xu Xin and informing him about his task for morning. The car ride was absolutely silent, looking at the familiar road Sia frowned; she didn't want to go to her place because despite what happened between these two her heart was disturbed. She was unable to erase that bloody scene from her memory; she was about to tell him not to drop her at her place when she saw him stop his car few hundred meters before at a café.

He turned towards her and slowly bent towards her, she closed her as if expecting something but he just unbuckled her seatbelt before whispering mischievously, "If you want something like this from me, you have to ask for it."

Just after he said this she suddenly opened her eyes wide, he got out from his side and walked to open the door for him; she felt so embarrassed about the earlier incident that she wished she could dig a hole and hide inside it.

She followed him after he opened the door for her, they sat down on the table in the balcony.

She was actually in no mood to eat before but don't know why, as soon as this guy ordered her favorite desert she suddenly felt like eating it. Though Sia looked maintained it was only due to her workout plans but, this girl never compromised with food, she was a sweet tooth and also a foodie.

"Sugar is good for stress relief." He said calmly sipping his herbal tea.

She smilingly nodded before picking up her self-saucing chocolate brownie.

"So what have you thought about what I said?" he asked her.

"I….. I don't know what to say." She said looking at those stars while keeping her plate on the table. She still couldn't make up her mind to fall in love, but she couldn't help but accept that she was getting close to Mo Xiao it actually felt good, specially today's events dragged them closer.

"Take your time, finish your cake it's getting late. I'll drop you." He said softly.

She nodded and finished her desert before they both left.It was already midnight when they left the café.

He drove towards her home without saying a single word. She was extremely uncomfortable when he didn't even say a sweet goodbye before leaving as he always said. He was about to start his car to leave when she suddenly opened the passenger seat's door and hopped in. He appeared to be shock but actually he expected it to happen, though she was hard to read for strangers he could easily tell what's going in her mind by just looking at her face.

"I wanted to give us a try. I don't want to regret it in my future." She said with determination.

Mo Xiao just smiled and caressed her head before saying, "Stop worrying about things and relax. Go have some sleep. Good night, love." And pulling her and kissing her on the forehead.

She blushed lightly before saying good night with a smile and left. He waited till he saw the lights of her apartment switching on before driving to Mo Family's house.

Later, when he showered and dressed in pajamas before calling Gu Lin.

"What now?" Gu Lin growled in anger.

"Did you find him?" he asked patiently. He was standing in balcony taking a drag to calm his nerves when Gu Lin told him everything about his investigations.

"Don't let him die. I'll come right now." Mo Xiao sai walking towards his room.

"God dammit dude!! Look at the time. Don't worry he won't die soon. Come tomorrow." He said angrily before hanging up.

At Crystal valley,

Sia was pacing back and forth thinking about today's events, she couldn't believe how she behaved today. Now that she was clear headed, she thought about how these turn of events made her put all her guards down against Mo Xiao. Though her overthinking mind was telling her that it was all planned by him, her instincts told her that he was just there to console her after all that happened in her grandfather's place.

She was considering what to believe when she received a call, "Did you find anything? Great. What's their business? Okay I got it." She said before hanging up and going to bed.

'A beautiful scenario with a beach and a couple kissing each other passionately. Taking a closer look this couple is none another than Mo Xiao and Sia Chen,…'
