Hearing this, the colour drained out of Chen's face as she muttered, "Oh shit." And ran towards the kitchen.
Si Xia, who had considerably recovered his strength, ran after her.
When Si Xia entered the kitchen, he saw that the whole kitchen was filled with black smoke and a very pungent smell of something burning hung in the air. He could barely make out Chen's figure opening the window.
He groped around the smoke and finally found her. Chen muttered, "Shit I forgot." as she went towards the stove and started doing something.
Si Xia groped around again and finally reached Chen, again. By now the smoke had cleared a little and Si Xia saw the culprit.
Apparently, Yu Chen had been frying some fish when she saw him fighting outside and ran out, forgetting all about the fish.
Yu Chen coughed as she scraped the burnt black fish into the trash with difficulty and put the pan in the sink and opened the water.
She turned around to face Xia and said, "I'm so sorry. I completely forgot. I've ruined such good fish and your kitchen."
Si Xia chuckled as he got hold of her, "Don't worry. It's not like you started a fire."
Yu Chen was still worried, "The way I'm going, I'm likely to do so one day."
Si Xia laughed out as he lifted up Yu Chen and made her sit on the counter. The smoke had nearly dissipated, but the smell of burnt fish still hung in the air.
Si Xia buried his nose in the crook of Chen's neck and said, "Don't worry. I have earned enough that you can set a house or two on fire."
Yu Chen also chuckled as she put her hands on his shoulders, "That's something for the future. We still need to decide about breakfast."
Si Xia, to Chen's earth shaking surprise, suddenly licked her neck and bit it lightly. He said, "I seem to have my meal perfectly ready."
Yu Chen's heart wanted to leap out of her mouth. It began to beat like she was running a race and a tinge of red spread from her ears to her whole face. Her stomach was full of butterflies as she opened her mouth to say something but all that came out was a sigh and a light moan.
This seemed to light a fire inside Si Xia as he began to lick and bite more and his hands went under Chen's hoody.
Yu Chen was barely able to firm the words between moans, "St-stop it. You're gonna..... gonna leave a ma-mark..."
Si Xia lifted his face and looked deep into her eyes. He said, "That was my intention." before covering her lips with his.
Yu Chen's rational mind tried to fight her desire as she kissed Si Xia back.
You can guess which one won as her hands went in front of Si Xia's chest and unbuttoned his shirt. Si Xia let out a low growl as he nibbled Yu Chen's lips.
....
After half an hour, Yu Chen panted, "You....you have to go.....to of-office."
Si Xia again buried his face in the crook of her neck as he said, "Don't wanna."
Yu Chen chuckled upon hearing this. How could the CEO of such a big company just say, 'don't wanna' so casually?
