You Made Me Like This

Lost in her own thoughts, Li Rui heard the man in front of her asking

"Can I kiss you?"

Her heart jumped not because of some other special emotion but because of surprise and it has become a special occurrence in the past few days. The man who was her husband in the eyes of everyone was really capable of surprising her.

Since the day he had returned, he kept touching her as if they always have shared a normal Wangfei-husband relationship.

Then one evening he suddenly stopped doing all this. He slept in the same room wither but not on the same bed.

And now he was asking her permission to kiss her once.

Li Rui didn't have any emotion towards this man. To her, he was an intelligent Prime Minister of Xin favored by the emperor who could destroy Li Clan but could also save it. Except this, he was nothing to her.

She didn't hate him but she also didn't love him.

"Just once."

He asked again.
