Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 95: Mint

Gao Lan Mei was not joking. "Hurry, put me down. I felt like puking." She said with fake weakness.

He did not respond to her, instead, she felt a ripple of energy which was glazed spiritual strength fluctuating from him.

They were on an elegant stone corridor that was inscribed with runes everywhere, but the next moment after the energy burst, they were suddenly in a large room. Teleportation!

It was as quick as the blink of an eye and made her dizzy like she wanted to vomit from the sudden spatial bending combined with blood rushing to her head.

Probably feeling merciful, he lifted her up from his shoulder and slowly glide her down as his arm still held her firmly on the waist.

She had no choice but to feel his warmth through his armor as she slid down. Despite her getting cold because of her wet dress, the heat that he gave off, overrode that.

Feeling her face getting warm because of this, she immediately bowed her head and stepped back as soon as her feet touched the cold marble floor.

She could still feel him staring at her intently but ignored him, trying to turn back but failing completely. His hand touched her head, feeding the spiritual energy from it to heal her.

"There. Feeling better?" he asked, his voice laced with concern, hands still holding her waist, not allowing her to stay away.

With a nod, she tried to pry his fingers off her waist, "You can release me now." She said looking at him directly, her red eyes glared at his silver ones challenging.

With a smirk, "Is that what you really want?" he asked knowingly. Like he was fascinated at her feeble attempts to be in control.

With a frown, "Yes!" she answered without a second thought.

Instead of releasing her, his face moved closer to her, his nose touching her own. He then touched her cheek with a finger and slowly caressed her face, running it on her cheek in hypnotic pace. There were tiny currents flowing with his every touch on her skin.

"Do you not feel that?" He asked, his finger continued playing with her cheek as he held eye contact with her, all his attention only on her. He looked to be genuinely smiling at her like she was the most fascinating thing in the world.

His eyes were getting hazy with something that Gao Lan Mei had never seen from anyone, especially when directed at her.

The way he looked at her with his silver eyes was soothing, if it were possible to just stare at those eyes forever, it would probably be fine for her. 

It's like she could feel a strange comfortable warmth spreading from the bottom of her heart.

'Feel what?' Gap Lan Mei asked herself in confusion. She could feel her heart pounding because of the proximity. Her brain stopped functioning as she just stared at the mesmerizing silver eyes. What was she supposed to do again?

His warm breath smelt like mint. That was quite strange since they were at the bottom of the sea. Sea mint? Was there such a thing?

"Stop!" Gao Lan Mei forcefully removed herself from his hold. As soon as she did so, his lip curled down, not happy at her outburst, then masked it with an indifferent expression.

Calming her senses, she paid attention to something else. She had almost caved into his touch. The feeling of being with him was starting to surface. It's a good thing that she got distracted because of 'Mint'. That will be her safe word then in the future if he's involved.
