Chapter 27 - Lovers Don't Kiss On Cheek

Chen Yi's eyes widened. She gulped.
She was reminded of how dangerous this man was.
At the backside of the building, it was dark and silent. There were only two of them at that place. The driver sitting in the front of the car could be counted as zero because from the beginning to the end, he hadn't interfered at all like he was non-existent.
"Mr. Li?' Chen Yi called out to him quietly, confused and slightly dazed at his close proximity. Her pale puffy cheeks held a touch of red. She slightly pushed him through her hands placed over his chest. But she was unsuccessful in getting a distance from him. His hold was firm and determined not to let her go.
"Did I not tell you that we have to act like a true couple?" Li Luxian lovingly placed a hand over her face "True couples do not part away without giving a goodbye kiss."
So it was all a part of the act they had to pull in order to diminish Mr. Li's father's suspicion?
Understanding it, Chen Yi's confusion ended somewhat. But still being so close to that handsome man, her heart was beating so loud that she was scared he could hear it. She was feeling jittery. She wanted to get away from him as soon as possible or she might lose her mind.
But also because they were only acting, she didn't want to do something absurd by giving an exaggerated reaction to his approach and make a fool of herself in front of him.
She was in a difficult position.
"Fine." She acquiesced, raised on her toes to reach him and placed her small, supple lips against his cheek.
Just as she pulled back, she saw an inexplicable emotion flash across Li Luxian eyes that vanished as soon as it appeared as he stood still holding his breath. In a short span of time, she couldn't discern what it exactly was. As she tried to get away, he broke out of his daze and pulled her back.
This time she was ruthlessly pushed against the car. He covered her body with his, making it impossible for her to leave.
Chen Yi was truly taken aback this time.
"Chen Yi, do you think we are some five years old kids?" His voice was impatient and angry.
"What happened?" She was puzzled. What did she do to provoke him now?
"True lovers..." Once again his signature smile appeared on his lips making him look irresistible. "Don't kiss on cheeks"
It took some time for his words to sink in. And when Chen Yi finally understood, involuntary her eyes fell from his dark, penetrating eyes to his thin, firm pinkish lips that were curled up into a tempting smile.
Was she supposed to kiss there?
Her heart that was already beating at a much faster rate than normal suffered another jolt and accelerated.
If she was to kiss some other man, it wouldn't have created such an effect on her but to kiss someone as handsome as Li Luxian was something her poor, little heart couldn't handle.
"M-Mr. Li I don't think it's really necessary" Chen Yi said tried to persuade him otherwise.
"It is." Li Luxian tone was firm and unnegotiable. "We shouldn't leave any doubts with my father."
Chen Yi thought what should she say to make him change his mind. For a moment she considered kicking him and running away from the embarrassing situation. But he was already pinning her against the car, effectively making all ways of escaping impossible. And also if she was to just run like a chicken, wouldn't that seem too absurd?
What impression Mr. Li would have left of her if she ran now?
Sternly pushing that idea at the back of her mind, she said in an unwavering tone. She tried her best to completely hide her inner nervousness.
"But there is really no one around here. So I doubt that..."
"Chen Yi, my father is a shrewd man. He wouldn't be spying on his by making his presence obvious." Li Luxian was not letting her go today.
Chen Yi fell silent. What he said was irrefutable.. Taking her silence as her submission and not being able to resist her anymore, Li Luxian leaned in to kiss her.
