Chapter 1327: First Kiss

In Wen Residence.

Ming Lan was packing her bags as she had to leave for her work. Wen Zac entered the room while talking on call. Once he finished talking, he looked at the busy woman. "Do you need any help?"

Ming Lan, who was packing her clothes, stuffed her lingeries in a hurry in the bag and then looked at him, "N-No. I am almost done."

He stared at her for a while and she looked at him questioningly.

"We live in this room together so I know what you wear. You don't have to hide," he answered her unspoken question.

She felt caught off guard, "I..was not..."

"Really? Then let me help you," he stepped ahead.

Ming Lan immediately stood between him and her bag which he was about to approach. "I...Can do it..."

He was standing closer to her and looked at her embarrassed face, "Are you sure, you are not shy?"

She shook her head lightly to deny his claim, "Why would I be?"

He could clearly see her blushing face with the closeness they had. He moved his face closer to hers and she gulped the way he looked at her so closely and she could even feel his warm breath on her cold skin.

She stepped back but there was a bed behind her and she had no space left to move away. He moved towards her ear and whispered, "Still not?"

Ming Lan felt her heart beating faster and her breathing turned shallow. This man was teasing her she knew but could not help but react to this closeness. How could she not be shy when he was like this but more she tried to be firm he pushed her to melt her defence.

Not getting an answer from her, he moved his face back slowly, his cheeks softly rubbed against hers and he could closely see the corner of her lips that he wished to approach. He contemplated over whether he should at least kiss his wife as she was going away from him for some time. Didn't he deserve at least this much?

But before that, he heard her admitting to what he asked her a moment before. "A little," she answered.

It brought him back to his senses or he was sure he would have done something. He stepped back and cleared his throat, "Make sure to pack everything important. Even if you forget anything, I will make sure it reaches you. My assistant will take care of everything.

Ming Lan just nodded and looked at the man who turned to go to the wardrobe and pulled out the set of night pajamas.

Once he entered the bathroom, Ming Lan touched her cheeks which had turned red and remembered the moment when she thought he was going to kiss her, "Was he really going to kiss me?" she thought and corrected herself, "You idiot. He was just teasing you," and resumed her packing. But, in between she would turn dazed and remember what he had just done with her and could feel her heart beating faster. Only this much closeness could make her like this and she could not imagine if something more would happen. 'I will surely faint that day,' she laughed at herself.

Wen Zac entered the bathroom and dropped the act of being so calm. He was affected as much as she was and felt lost. 'What was I doing? What if she didn't want it and felt like I was going back on my word and taking advantage of her. I said I will wait then why? With her around, it's hard to control and hide my feelings. Gosh, when would this end?"

Once Wen Zac returned, Ming Lan had already finished her packing.

"Are you done?" he asked while drying his wet hair with the towel.

"Hmm, almost," she replied.

"You have an early morning flight. You should go to bed," he suggested while getting ready.

Ming Lan, who had left embarrassed a while ago due to denying what he said, didn't dare say no to it and went to the bed as she covered herself in a blanket.

"Good night!" Wen Zac said and went to his work table.

"Aren't you sleeping?" she asked after checking the time and it was late.

"In a while. You can sleep," he said and opened his laptop.

"Good night!" she said and closed her eyes.

Wen Zac exhaled out as he couldn't dare to get closer to her as he was still not calm. He wished to stay away till she fell asleep.

After almost half an hour he looked at the bed and realized Ming Lan was asleep and finally got up to go to the bed. He slowly got inside the blanket, making sure to not disturb her sleep.

He slept facing a sleepy woman who slept without any care. As she was sleeping, facing him, he got a chance to admire his wife before she left the next day. In the dim light from the night lamp, she looked even prettier to him.

He moved a little closer to her to feel her presence closer. 'If I want more from our relationship, will I be greedy?' he asked himself. 'Having her by my side is enough but can't expect more? You don't know how much I love you. Even if you didn't reply to me at all when I told you my feelings, I could not be angry with you. I don't know what I was thinking, but I was just waiting for you.'

Immersed in his thoughts and while staring at her, he didn't know when he moved further closer and his hands moved to caress her hair. Just as his fingers moved those tiny bangs away from her temple, his fingertips brushed her cold skin.

Ming Lan opened her eyes only to find his face closer to her and he was staring at her. Her mind went blank, not knowing what to think and she just stared back at him without lowering her sight. She felt his fingers' tips caressing her cheeks now and slowly moving to her lips but she still didn't blink even once.

Wen Zac didn't want to think about anything and stayed like that, feeling like to drown in her pretty eyes. His fingers reached her lips and his thumb caressed her lips gently.

"Can I?" he asked in a low and hoarse voice.

With a very light movement, she nodded a little which showed her approval. Wen Zac moved his face further closer as his lips neared hers and their breaths mingled with each other.

The next moment their lips touched and Ming Lan felt like her heart would just stop beating and she held her breath. Moving his lips slowly to capture her softer ones in his, Wen Zac moved to make her lay in her back and he moved along to be able to kiss her comfortably.

He looked at the woman who had closed her eyes and resumed what he was doing. Ming Lan responded to his kiss which made him feel relieved and he could finally kiss her nicely. That soft kiss turned into a passionate one as it showed the buried hunger inside him that wished to devour his wife. They kissed for long till they were both tired and breathless. It was the first-ever kiss for both of them and it felt good.

Ming Lan opened her eyes to see him whose hot breath was still lingering on her face. She had nothing to say as her mind had gone blank with this long kiss.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

Finally, she reacted and nodded to it.

Wen Zac's heart was greedy but his mind was rational. He knew she had to travel the next day early in the morning so he preferred to let her sleep.

"You have to wake up early. Sleep now."

She again nodded and Wen Zan moved away from her to sleep in his place.

"I will accompany you tomorrow to the airport," he informed, as he had to say something to relax the air around them.

"Hmm," she replied.
