Chapter 496: Chapter 532, The Injury is Here

Their eyes met, the air was tranquil.

Xia Ziqi’s hair, black as ink, cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, her face as exquisite as jade, adorned with a mild and soft smile, her delicate features fair and beautiful.

She wore a blue short-sleeved maxi dress that revealed her alabaster arms and outlined her serpentine, smooth figure. She carried an allure of mystifying maturity; even after such a long time, her charisma was even more captivating, irresistibly so.

A women’s bag hung on her right arm, exuding the charm of a successful woman discerning and virtuous.

"Fang Yi," Xia Ziqi spoke first and then walked over.

"Ziqi," Fang Yi smiled and said, "It’s been a long time, you’ve become even more beautiful."

A shy blush spread across Xia Ziqi’s cheeks, as she modestly lowered her head: "You..."

Fang Yi quickly asked, "What about me?"

"You... you’ve become more handsome."

Fang Yi looked puzzled: "What did you say? I didn’t catch that."

Xia Ziqi raised her head and glared at him fiercely, yet her stare was laced with charm that only added to her allure.

"You’ve become more handsome!" Xia Ziqi asserted with a bite of her silver teeth, raising her volume.

"Heh, that’s more like it," Fang Yi said with a self-satisfied smile.

However, this smug grin once again earned him a glare from Xia Ziqi. Yet, there was no annoyance in this glare, only bashful shyness. After all, they were in a store with attendants around. She had been flirted with by Fang Yi and felt an urge to laugh but couldn’t, wanted to be angry but couldn’t muster it. She didn’t understand why, but she felt this helpless sensation only towards this man.

Xia Ziqi asked Fang Yi if he was thirsty, and he replied that he had just had a drink. Then he asked her where her office was, and Xia Ziqi pointed to an office with the blinds drawn up. Fang Yi rushed over as soon as he saw it, his heart racing.

Seeing Fang Yi so flustered made Xia Ziqi smile wryly. She knew him well enough to understand his thoughts; to not do so would mean she had failed. Yet, seeing him hurry like a child filled her with a small sense of pride.

She was already a wife, though now divorced, and even a mother, and yet she could still attract a young man like Fang Yi, proving that her charm was intact.

But Xia Ziqi also felt that being so close to Fang Yi, given her status, might not be appropriate. Watching him walking towards the office, a look of indecision flickered in her eyes.

The door closed, the blinds were drawn, and Fang Yi showed Xia Ziqi the meaning of urgent desire.

"Fang... Fang Yi..." Xia Ziqi’s voice was bell-like, crisp, yet now there was a haze to it.

"Hm?"

"We... we can’t go on like this anymore," Xia Ziqi said.

The roaming claws halted, Fang Yi released Xia Ziqi, and gazed calmly at her mature and spirited face, asking, "Why?"

Xia Ziqi pursed her lips and said, "I don’t want to hold you back..."

"Don’t want to hold me back?"

"I... I’m a woman who’s been married before, I even have a daughter. I’m afraid that by being with you, it would put you in an awkward position, and furthermore..."

"What?"

"And I’ve never told you this, but I’m not just an ordinary woman, my last name is Xia."

"You mean to tell me that you’re from the Tianjing Xia Family?"

Xia Ziqi lifted her head, surprise in her beautiful eyes, "You... how do you know?" She was astonished that Fang Yi would know of the Xia Family.

What Xia Ziqi didn’t know was that Fang Yi was not only aware of the Xia Family but also had had conflicts with the young members of the family, like the brothers Xia Zijun and Xia Zihe.

Fang Yi said, "Never mind how I know. I just have one question for you, do you love me?"

Xia Ziqi’s face showed her conflict, "But..."

Fang Yi’s expression turned serious, "Tell the truth!"

Xia Ziqi pursed her lips tight and slightly bowed her head, not daring to meet Fang Yi’s eyes. After hesitating for a while, she slowly nodded.

Fang Yi once again held Xia Ziqi tight in his arms, "Since you love me, there’s nothing more to say. You are the woman I’ve chosen, and that can’t be changed. I, Fang Yi, am not a man who lives at the mercy of others. Just remember, I am your man, and that’s enough."

Xia Ziqi’s heart felt like it was struck by electricity, her body trembling profoundly.

I am your man, and that’s enough!

These words struck the softest part of Xia Ziqi’s heart, causing her to involuntarily hum in agreement, a warm current surging through her heart and spreading throughout her body.

Her heart melted, and her body followed suit. Xia Ziqi felt herself being held by Fang Yi once again, even tighter than before.

Fang Yi lowered his head, pressing his lips to Xia Ziqi’s sweet, sugar-like ones.

Perhaps with her emotional knots untangled, Xia Ziqi didn’t avoid or struggle anymore. In a short time, she began to get into the mood, responding actively.

As if casting aside everything else, not thinking about anything, just continuing like this, allowing herself to go crazy just this once.

During this kiss, Fang Yi did not let his hands wander over Xia Ziqi’s body, for what he wanted was her heart, not solely her body.

After a long while, when they parted lips, Xia Ziqi’s eyes were indescribably tender and honeyed, her cheeks flushed with shy allure, beyond tempting.

The two of them stayed in the office, not going out. Of course, they couldn’t just stand there forever, so Fang Yi simply pulled Xia Ziqi to sit down behind the office desk and then pulled her onto his lap.

Her fragrance wafted into Fang Yi’s nostrils, making his heart race, nearly losing control once again.

"What’s the deal with Zhou Wei?" Fang Yi asked casually.

"You... how do you know about him..." Xia Ziqi said in surprise.

"I ran into him when you were not at the shop earlier; we even had a fight," Fang Yi explained.

"Ah? You... you’re not... hurt, are you?" Xia Ziqi’s face showed her concern, her tone full of care as she examined Fang Yi up and down, wanting to know if he was injured.

Something stirred in Fang Yi’s heart. He feigned a painful expression and said, "I am injured."

Xia Ziqi immediately asked with concern, "Where are you hurt? Let’s go to the hospital." Without a second thought, she attempted to get up.

However, Fang Yi held her back, "The injury I have cannot be cured by a hospital."

Xia Ziqi was stunned, what kind of injury could a hospital not heal?
