Bai Xi's Pov:

I have always known that life is tough and you have to be strong to be able to survive the storms. And I have always accepted the things, life threw at me, never questioning anything. Until....

This man in front of me came into my life and caused a mild hurricane all over my emotions, making me feel chaotic and charged with an energy that was missing when it came to live life.

And so when he said those words, I felt the chaos his words always seems to cause me, but with this storm came a relief. A soothing moment where everything within me, though charged with excitement, settled down as if finally found an anchor to my long lost soul.

I turned to him, my back to the sea. His words caused a deep sense of calm to wash over me and it made me think about all my problems, which didn't allow me the luxury of having him. And so in this moment I thought over everything and decided to give this thing between us a chance. I don't know what will happen tomorrow, but for now I want to be with him. Because right now all I want is him at this moment. However impossible it all may seem.

His eyes bore down at me, soothing my anxious soul.

Still looking in his eyes, I flicked my gaze to the pulse point on his neck which is pulsing crazily matching his heartbeat as I felt it humming over my torso.

And in that moment, as if to mark my decision I stood over my toes and kissed the pulse point on his neck and lightly bit over it. It must have left a stinged, so I licked it to sooth over the sting.

I tried to pull back but his arms around me kept me firm in one place. So in a rare moment of calm, I continued with my lips and kissed the area along the long curve of his neck. His light stubble under his chin scraping over my skin sending bolts of excitement down my spine. I shivered and pulled back and took a look at his eyes which looked dark, hooded with desire.

The pain in my toes reminded me of reality and I tried to stand back when he swooped in and claimed my lips for his own.

Before I can complain on the pain in my toes he tightened his hold on me and lifted me. He put my feet on his own, atop his shoes and it provided me with little height making me kiss him better.

The kiss ended when I felt the need to breathe and had to break the kiss necessarily.

We both inhaled deeply and put our forehead on each other. The moment seemed perfect until my stomach decided to ruin it.

It growled loudly and I realised I didn't eat anything as I didn't get the chance to because of those goons.

Si Yihan pulled back too and lightly covered my stomach before saying, "we need to feed it."

"Come let's eat something. I think you didn't had dinner, right?"

I blushed as I said no and I remembered that I didn't get the chance to buy anything before the incident with the goons happened. And so I nodded along as he pulled me with him, back inside.

He asked the butler to arrange the dinner in the room's living area. It took the butler a mere few minutes before he was pulling inside the room with a food trolley laden with different dishes all looking exquisite and ravishing. I licked my lips in response. Damn all that feast too good anind I can't wait to delve into it.

Si Yihan chuckled from beside me and I didn't said anything because I too much engrossed with the food being served by the butler.

I am amazed with the efficiency the food came with because the mansion is huge, and it must take a lot more than a few minutes even with the elevator to bring all the food and that too warm.

By the time the butler pulled up with the food , Si Yihan showed me the rest of the room as well. Well not completely as it is huge, with a private bedroom and a connected study room, other than the lavish bathroom with a connected walk in closet . Also there is another balcony inside his room just like the one in the living area but slightly more cozy, and it has a Jacuzzi overlooking the sea. All in all, It all looked amazing and I realised my husband is loaded. Well I knew Si family is loaded but still seeing all these luxuries I realised Si Yihan himself is also wealthy.

A small bar stood at one corner of the living area with limited edition bottles as far as I saw. Because it was just a quick look but with the reflexes that I have garnered over the years and completing the missions has made me prone to all these luxuries and well acquainted with these things. it isn't hard for me to know about all this.

The butler served the food as we sat down adjacently. The food's aroma wafted in my nose and my stomach growled again, only this time more loudly. I blushed as even the butler heard it and passed me a smile before leaving after saying, "Bon appetite!"

Si Yihan said over a light chuckle, "Well I think you should eat before your stomach complains more", he said as he served me, what looked like the best serving of sweet and sour ribs, I ever had. His expression fond and indulging as he passed me the plate and motioned with his eyes to dive in. I wanted to wait for him to serve himself as well but my stomach is in no mood for any waiting Especially not after all the aroma I have inhaled and so with blushing face , I glared at my tummy cursing it for embarrassing me again and again.

He motioned for me to continue eating and I threw a sorry glance at him, before diving into the appetizing food. As I was eating I realised that I haven't eaten in more than twenty four hours.

I was more than halfway through the dinner when I finally was able to detach myself from the food and apologize for my lack of manners.

"Sorry I was really too famished to wait. I was about to eat earlier but this situation arose where I stumbled on these goons beating a guy, so then I helped him and had to take him to the hospital, so didn't get a chance to grab a bite. I said simultaneously while eating my food." I said over a mouthful of souffle cupcake garnished with berries. This really is something. This might just be my new favourite desert.

After waiting for his reply, When I didn't hear anything I looked up to find him running his eyes all over me with a worried expression.

"What goons and what do you mean by you helped the guy? Are you okay and why is it only you who comes across such absurd situations."

He asked me with a baffled expression and I realised I might have said a little too much.

Any other time I might have frowned at his tone but the way I am getting to know him I am realising he freaks out alot whenever he hears such gore tails. Anyways I don't mind explaining today's situation to him, maybe courtesy to the little moment we had a little ago.

After his reaction, I don''t think, it would be right to tell him about my little company then. It would be a little taxing for him and he may not be able to take it well.

Well maybe I should ease him into it to avoid any coronary damage that may happen. He doesn't seem like the violent type maybe because of staying too much in.These buisness man and their sheltered life. I sighed.

Atleast he is not of those inactive ones who only work and work. He seems to workout as I have felt those rippling muscles everytime I have touched him. Those muscles make me want to lick him up. I licked my lips just thinking about it and my eyes unconsciously moved to his eyes and I realised he has been looking at me and a smirk has pulled up on his face.

"What do you say, Do you wanna switch me in place of the food?" he said in a teasing voice as I realised he must have seen me assessing him.

I blushed harder and looked down at my food to avoid looking at him and stuffed my mouth with more pastry to avoid saying anything. But I didn't realise I have ate too much and choked on it.

A glass filled with water was on my lips before I even looked for it and a hand gently massaged my back to ease my intake. I finished chewing and took a large gulp of water before he said something which made me almost hurl it out again.
