Chapter 632: Crashed into His Embrace

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Outside, the wind brought about a biting cold as the drizzle turned into falling sleet. Shen Xi walked out to a shivering cold, but her attention was soon drawn to the man on the sidewalk.

Under the dim streetlight sat a man in a wheelchair. It was not known how long he had been waiting but raindrops mixed with snowflakes were sliding down the slanted umbrella as they fluttered against his face, body, and hair.

Shen Xi was caught in a moment of trance. Holding no umbrella, she stood at the hotel entrance and stared blankly at him. Her heart throbbed in love and in pain for him.

Li Yuan noticed the girl wearing a thin layer of pajamas. Her thin ankles and cute toes were visible through a pair of flip-flops. Feeling a pit in his stomach, he gazed at her and said, “Stand there and don’t move.”

Shen Xi was ready to pounce into his arms and give him a tight hug when his words froze her on the spot.

Opposite the hotel, the man in the wheelchair suddenly stood up and handed his umbrella to Kun Lun before facing her with a smile.

He toddled slowly, like a toddler taking his first steps. Putting his firm weight on each step, Li Yuan walked toward Shen Xi.

Shen Xi’s heart was full as tears streamed down her face. Without a care, she raced toward him and crashed into his embrace.

Although Li Yuan tottered in his footsteps by the crash-landing, he seized the girl by the waist. The girl nestled in his arms and softly mewled like a kitten, tickling on his soft spot. Propping his chin against her head, he asked huskily, “What’s wrong? Are you not happy?”

Shen Xi was without a word as she had no idea what to say. Still, she clung to him and nodded forcefully in his arms. She was definitely happy, more like over the moon.

“It’s cold out here. Should we go to your room or the car?” Snuggling his chin against the girl’s head, Li Yuan picked her up and folded her in his arms. The wide trench coat covered her entire body, shielding her from the swirling wind and rain.

“In the car.” Shen Xi lifted her chin to fixate her eyes on him as if he would vanish into thin air if she blinked. She mumbled under her breath, “Cold.”

“You caught a cold.” Li Yuan bowed his head and felt the temperature of her forehead with his. The girl’s forehead was still warm probably because she had just come out of the heated hotel room.

Shuddering by the chill he gave her, Shen Xi nudged him away. “Cold.”

Li Yuan held her tight and soothed her. “Sorry.”

He had been waiting here for over two hours. Li Yuan flew over right away when he sensed something amiss in her voice during dinner. With the temperature dropping in the last few days coinciding with her menstrual cycle, he was afraid she was sick, in pain, and unable to take care of herself.

Nevertheless, Li Yuan reached the hotel only to be unable to get through to the girl’s phone. Believing that she was asleep, he did not want to bother her, so he waited downstairs. He had no idea how she found out he was down here.

“Why didn’t you come up?” Shen Xi cuddled up in his arms in the car, refusing to leave his lap. She looked up at him with heartache written all over her eyes.

She knew the drug she made herself better than anyone else. Yet, she could not help but be swept away by emotions and happiness when she saw him standing before her.

Li Yuan was reluctant to touch her with his chilly hands. Gazing at the girl’s teary eyes, he leaned forward to nuzzle her forehead before chuckling. “You came down anyway.”

“Were you going to keep on waiting if I didn’t come down?” Shen Xi snuffled.

It was cold and snowing outside. Was he trying to get himself killed by taking in the harsh elements when he was not in the best of health?

“No.” Li Yuan gently kissed her eyes and burrowed against her ear. His husky voice reflected delight that came straight from the heart. “You’ll call me back when you look at your phone.”

“What if I didn’t look?” Shen Xi was furious.

“You will.” Li Yuan murmured. Realizing that his body was picking up on warmth, he squeezed her together with her coat. He inquired, “Are you cold?”

Shen Xi shook her head. “No.”

Li Yuan laughed and tightened his grip around her while embracing his fair lady’s soft and supple frame. His voice grew sexy and raspy. “Tell me what’s on your mind.”

Shen Xi lifted her head, letting her clear eyes meet his. “Have you eaten?”

Li Yuan burst into laughter and shook his head. “No.”

Shen Xi poked his face and broke into a wide grin. “To celebrate your recovery, I’m buying you dinner.”

Li Yuan nodded. “Okay.”

Heavier sheets of snow were falling at half-past eleven. There was no one in sight at the hotel entrance except the security and receptionist in the lobby.

While Li Yuan carried Shen Xi off the car, she jabbed his chest and softly asked, “Can you handle it?”

“Haven’t you had first-hand experience whether I’m able to handle it or not?” Li Yuan lowered his head and smiled at her.

“I’m talking about your legs.” Shen Xi had a feeling that the conversation was heading in a weird direction.

“I’m also talking about my legs.” Li Yuan guffawed in glee. His drawled vocals were quite seductive.

With rosiness flushing her cheeks, Shen Xi stuttered, “I… You dirty man!”

“Yes,” Li Yuan gently responded and carried the girl while making his way to the hotel. The joy in his eyes grew deeper. The girl in his arms may be light, but she weighed heavily in his heart. It was a feeling that could not be wiped away or withdrawn.

A short distance away, Kun Lun stood under an umbrella. He wanted to go with them but could not bear to interrupt their time together. In the end, he watched them in contentment and with a suspicious glint in his eyes.

Boss’s greatest luck was meeting Ms. Shen.

It was the same case with Ms. Shen, too, to cross paths with Boss.

They belonged to each other, and no one could tear them apart.

The eyes of the security and receptionist in the hotel were drawn to the couple at the door.

The man was a dreamboat with looks that could take their breath away. Noble and poised, he was an embodiment of a gentleman among the crude like a king visiting the mortal world.

The man strutted along unlike regular people. He might be slow in walking, but his footsteps were steady not to jolt the person in his arms.

They could not see the person in his embrace as the tiny body recoiled in the man’s wide trench coat. By the exposed feet, they knew it was a girl.

The man marched on while talking to the girl in his arms with a low and sultry voice.. Yet now, the people were too blown away by his looks to realize what he was saying.
