It Was Sweet And Gentle

Only after a while did Fae find her voice. Subconsciously, the girl dropped her bicycle and walked over to Ren. Once they were facing each other, Fae paused a step from Ren and she looked at the young man with teary eyes.

"I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sorry for bringing up your old wound, Sir. I understand now.. It must be very painful ..."

Fae had never seen Ren look so sad before. She could imagine how much the young man felt grieved and at a loss. Fae could tell that this person must have meant a lot to the prince.

Ren looked into Fee's teary eyes in front of him and became surprised. He did not expect Fae to be so sympathetic to him. The girl was apparently not at all angry with his earlier treatment by chasing her away. Fae even felt sad to see that Ren was overcome by sadness.

Fee's gesture of compassion and sympathy touched Ren's heart. The man then took one step forward and closed the distance between them.

Now their two bodies met and touched each other. Somehow, Fae's chest was pounding violently. Instinctively, she was about to step back, but Ren's hand was already holding her waist.

"You are injured." The man's voice was hoarse. He was still emotional and it could be heard in his voice. "Come with me, let me treat your wounds."

Fae didn't know why she seemed to lose control of her body when she heard Ren's voice. She obediently nodded softly. Ren then turned around and took Fee's waist with his hand, they walked back towards the villa.

Fae followed Ren's steps silently. There was something about him that made Fae could not argue. Ren was very imposing when he was serious like now. In addition to his naturally overbearing character, he was a very high ranking person in the Moravian kingdom. Fae did not dare to argue with him.

"You get hurt many times," Ren commented as he walked towards his villa.

"I'm sorry ..." Fae could only apologize.

She had bothered Ren twice, and the man had to treat her wounds. The first one was when she dropped the porcelain coffee pot and cut her index finger quite deeply. The wound was just healed yesterday, and now Fae had already injured her knee.

"Women shouldn't get injured often, later the scars won't go away. You're not like a child who can easily heal from wounds," said Ren again. He looked as if he was giving advice to a child.

Fae only nodded. Somehow, when she heard Ren's words, her chest was filled with warmth. She felt that he genuinely cared about her.

Ren's attitude touched Fae's heart. Even though Fae usually felt that she should know her place and not have any inappropriate thoughts about Ren, this time, she suppressed her feelings and tried to enjoy Ren's kindness to her.

After all ... this was the last day she could see Ren. So, for the last time, Fae would enjoy every second of her time with Ren. Because, starting tomorrow, they would not see each other again.

Ahh .. Fae was truly sad, thinking about it.

"Ouch .." Due to her daydreaming, Fae accidentally tripped over a rock and almost fell to the ground. Luckily, Ren was quick to hold her waist.

"You are quite clumsy, huh ..." said Ren. "How did you stay alive until now?"

"I'm... I'm sorry." Fae scolded himself inwardly. She shouldn't have caused any new problems. She was now afraid that Ren would think she was too much trouble. "I'm fine .. I can walk alone. You don't need to hold me."

Awkwardly, Fae tried to let go of Ren's hand that had been holding her waist from the lakeshore earlier. However, it seemed. Fee's leg was so painful that as soon as she broke away from Ren, her body staggered and was about to fall.

"I don't want to trouble you," said Fee. "I'm sorry I've bothered you many times."

"You are so stubborn," Ren commented. He grabbed Fee's waist again and scolded her. "You'll give me more trouble if you forced yourself to walk with your injured leg."

Ren ignored Fee's words. Suddenly, he bent down a little and then lifted the girl's body with both arms.

"I have made you sad and fell off the bike. At least let me take responsibility by taking care of you," said the man in his distinctive baritone voice. He immediately walked with long steps to villa no. 4.

Fee, who was still shocked at being suddenly carried like a princess by Ren, was rendered speechless. Before she realized what had happened, they arrived at the villa.

Ren placed Fae carefully on the sofa, then touched her knee, signaling the girl to stay where she was.

"I'll get the first aid kit," said Ren. "You sit here."

Fae just stared at the back of the man entering the bedroom, with a complicated look. For the second time this week, Ren was treating her wounds.

Ren came out not long after with a first aid kit box and knelt in front of Fee. He took out rubbing alcohol and cotton, then cleaned the wounds on Fee's knee.

The girl winced in pain as her wounds were being cleaned, but she tried to stop herself from making a sound. Ren put antiseptic on the wound and then put two plasters to cover the girl's wounds.

"Thank you, Sir," said Fee, slightly bowing down her head. "Now I have to go home."

"Your bicycle is broken and your leg is injured. How are you going to get home?" asked Ren.

"I'll have the resort driver take me home," Fae said. "I will be fine."

"Hmm .." Ren nodded. "I changed my mind about earlier. I don't want to be alone right now. Would you like to accompany me?"

Fae was amazed at Ren's sudden request. Wasn't it Ren who asked to be left alone? Why was he now asking Fae to accompany him?

Fae didn't understand why Ren suddenly changed his mind.

"Of course, Sir," replied Fae quickly.

"Thank you." Ren got up and walked into the kitchen. He returned five minutes later with a bottle of red wine and two glasses. "I need a company to drink. I'm feeling sad."

"Oh ..." Fae bit her lip at Ren's request. She had never drunk alcohol during working hours. But it looked like Ren was really sad, so she was willing to make an exception. Fae didn't have the heart to say no. She could only nod weakly. "Let me pour you a drink."

She was about to take the bottle from Ren's hand, but the man brushed her hand gently. "No need. I'll do the pouring. You just sit nicely there."

Ren poured the wine into two glasses almost to the brims. He handed Fae a glass and clinked theirs, before drinking the wine.

Fae followed Ren's actions and took a sip of the wine. They then sat side by side, each holding a glass of red wine in their hands. After the first glass ran out, Ren poured the wine back into their glasses. The two then continued drinking without talking to each other.

Fae was enjoying her time together with Ren, while Ren seemed to drown in sadness. There was only silence for a few moments. Finally, Ren's voice broke the silence.

"My father was a genius and a talented man. He committed suicide in Lake Rhine when he was only 22 years old. I never met him," said Ren softly. "That is why I hate this place, but I keep coming back."

Fae was stunned by what Ren said. His voice was filled with pain. She finally understood that the person Ren was referring to was actually his father. Fae did not expect this at all.

Fae turned to the side and looked at Ren with rounded eyes. She saw that the man's face from the side looked like a statue of a sad Greek god.

Fae's parents died four years ago, but she had no memories of them at all, so it was difficult for her to feel sorrow for their passing.

Meanwhile, she saw Ren seemed to love the man who died before he was born. Ren's longing for his father was deep and heartbreaking, and somehow it left an impression on Fae.

"I'm ... very sorry to hear that ..." whispered Fee. She couldn't hold back the tears that rolled down her cheeks. Maybe this was one of the causes of Ren's severe insomnia. He thought too much about his father, Fae thought sadly.

Ren turned his head towards Fae when he heard the girl's voice. Those beautiful brown eyes were in tears, and the sight touched his heart.

Ren then put down his wine glass on the table, and a moment later, his left hand stroked Fee's long hair, which flowed beautifully down to her shoulder.

"Why are you crying?" he whispered.

His right hand then grabbed the girl's shoulder as he brought his face close to Fee's, and kissed her lips.

The kiss was sweet and gentle.

Everything happened so naturally, and Fae did not resist or felt awkward at all. Her body just responded to Ren's kiss. She then let him kiss her lips, at first, slowly and gently, then becoming more and more aggressive.

When Ren thrust his tongue in Fae's mouth and twisted her tongue, the girl returned Ren's kiss. She was inexperienced, and her technique was poor, but Ren taught her patiently.

A few minutes later, Fae grew even more confident, and she responded to the handsome man's kiss better. As she closed her eyes and savored the union of their lips, the girl's head was filled with euphoria that made her forget about her surroundings.

When they finally broke away, reluctantly, Ren and Fae stared at each other only inches away. The faces of the two were flushed red, and their eyes glistened with lust.

Fae should have known that her tolerance for alcohol was quite low and just two drinks could get her drunk. But when Ren offered her wine, the girl couldn't refuse because her heart was touched. She couldn't bear to see Ren sad, and she just wanted to comfort him by drinking together.

"Fae ..." Ren's voice now sounded like music to Fee's ears. The girl looked at Ren with her big round brown eyes and an innocently smiling face.

"Yes...?" asked the girl in a sweet voice.

"Would you like to spend the night here?" asked Ren earnestly.
