Thursday, continued …
Hou Yi paused slightly. "Anna, I think they have given us what we need. However, I do not want to focus on them. You are the most important person presently."
With that he leaned in intending to give Anna a brief kiss on the cheek. Anna however did not want just a brief kiss, so she turned her head for her lips to make contact with Hou Yi's. As soon as he realised what was happening, Hou Yi let his lips linger for a few seconds.
In his own mind, Hou Yi hoped that Anna wanted him to take the kiss further, but he realised that he could not force what he wanted on his wife. She had to be the one that instigated the kiss deepening, simply because she wanted it. Anna however did not deepen the kiss, so he gently pulled away from her lips savouring the taste he had.
