Wild Young Miss: Mister, Let's Kiss!

Slowly, Zoey raised her eyes before checking her naked body one more time. She did not see wrong! Zoey had slept naked! 

Just what happened last night? Did they...

Zoey could not remember getting laid, no matter how much she racked her brains. Therefore, grabbing the whole blanket with her, Zoey skirred the room to find the culprit. 

"Browny!" As soon as Zoey opened the door, she looked around. Immediately, she found the person she was looking for. 

There, Matthew Xi, who was more beautiful than the morning and finer than wine, perched on the single couch with his legs crossed. The single seater sofa looked decent, but with him sitting on it, it appeared more noble akin to a throne. 

Slowly, his pair of russet orbs pierced hers. They didn't bear the usual aloof aura, rather they were a little edgy. It was the same look Zoey had when she woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Alas! Zoey was too contained with the fact that she had slept naked — even disregarding her throbbing head and aching body. She just wanted to know if they did something naughty last night.

"Darling, did we... uhm, you know?" Gulping a mouthful of saliva in her dry throat, Zoey pursed her lips together as she asked indirectly.

Yet, silence was the only answer she received. Matthew Xi just kept staring at her, her smudged makeup, messy morning hair, and how she looked like a walking burrito. 

"You don't remember?" After a while, Matthew Xi finally opened his mouth and returned a vague question. 

"Remember... so we did the deed?!?" Zoey's eyes widened in shock. She attempted to remember what happened, but her memories stopped when she fell asleep on the couch last night. 

Did something happen after that? Indeed, she fell asleep on the couch but woke up on the bed. It's not like she was sleep-walking. 

Zoey could not help but wonder if something had triggered some kind of spark between them when he carried her to the bed. Perhaps their body heat rose at its peak and chose to release it by making love?

All these assumptions made Zoey's head ache. Hence, she returned her confused gaze back to him who was wearing his poker face proudly as if he couldn't be bothered by anything. 

"What do you think?"

"This is unacceptable!" Zoey gasped, clenching her teeth as she settled her determined eyes on him. 

Matthew Xi scoffed internally. There she was, acting like a seductress last night but wouldn't accept if something happened between them. How foolish of him to succumb to his emotions last night!

Just as Matthew Xi criticized Zoey's antics inside his mind, all went blank upon hearing her next words. 

"Let's do it again! I can't accept that I can't remember! I want to remember!" Standing straight, Zoey exclaimed with hundred percent resolve. 

Indeed, the only reason why she was too bothered was because she couldn't remember. Although her muscles felt like they were suffering from its first day of an extensive workout, it's not enough proof!

For a good ten seconds, Matthew Xi said nothing. He then languidly rose from his seat and took feather-light steps towards her. 

Stopping several steps in front of her, Matthew Xi raised his right hand while Zoey watched him in puzzlement. Confused of what he would do, Zoey knitted her brows. 

To her surprise, Matthew Xi placed his palm on her forehead as if checking his temperature. "I bought some soup and medicines to fight the hangover." He said, nodding his head upon confirming that Zoey's temperature had returned to normal unlike late last night. 

"Browny..."

"No, nothing like that happened last night." As he retracted his hand, Matthew Xi decided to clear the slight 'misunderstanding'. 

It would be better if that was the only thing that happened last night. But, it was way worse than that. Regardless, if she couldn't remember, Matthew Xi felt it was much better to leave it like that. 

After absorbing the clarification, Zoey withered as her knees collapsed on the floor. Her false energy earlier withered away and all the aches she had when she woke up resurfaced. 

"What now?" Looking down on her who was now on the floor, Matthew Xi knitted his brows. 

"I feel like I got run over by a truck." Zoey muttered, slowly lifting her head to meet his gaze. 

A helpless sigh escaped his lips as he squatted down. "Come here," he said, placing his arms on her back and knee pit before he carried her to the long couch. 

Zoey glanced at his side profile, and a meek smile formed on her lips. By the looks of it, Matthew Xi looked a bit tired than usual but wasn't acting like it. 

Moreover, although he appeared frustrated earlier, he somehow shrugged it off and considered her current state. Still, Zoey wondered why he seemed upset early in the morning. 

He gently sat her down on the couch, "I'll reheat the soup. Behave." He muttered, yet there was something strong in his tone upon telling her to behave. 

Zoey nodded her head as she couldn't dwell on it longer. She felt awful, literally awful. The wine last night must have had a strong alcohol percentage, which was worse than beers.

Meanwhile, at one of the grandest mansions in a luxury subdivision, Vivian Xi enjoyed a cup of tea in the garden. 

"Madam, you look a little energetic today." An elderly butler noticed, standing a few steps away from Vivian Xi. "Here is the list of the young ladies that you asked for." He then handed her a folder of profiles of young ladies. 

Vivian Xi had been working hard trying to find Matthew Xi a good match. However, the butler knew deep down that this batch would be another failure again because the Young Master wouldn't even bat an eye at them. 

"Butler Yi, I don't think we need that anymore." Glancing at the files of failure, Vivian Xi was rather calm, which surprised the butler slightly. "I'll visit the temple today. I need to know the perfect date for a wedding." She added with a smile. 

"Madam, Young Master —"

"Oh, Butler Yi. It's not me who gave the idea. I'm just doing someone a favor.." Shaking her head lightly, Vivian Xi chuckled in amusement as she recalled a memory from late last night.
