Wild Young Miss: Mister, Let's Kiss!

The ray of the morning sun filtered by the transparent window shone into Zoey's eyes. Her eyelids flickered before her one eye slowly opened.

Zoey yawned, rubbing her eyes as she assisted herself up. Looking around with her weary eyes, she closed her eyes again. 

Recalling what happened last night, Zoey's head ached a little as her face distorted. "What the fck..." she mumbled, memories of her words last night surged inside her head and filled it in. 

She didn't even have time to guess how she ended up in her own bedroom as it was already obvious; Matthew Xi must have carried her all the way here. 

"Damn it... damn it... damn it...!" Massaging her temples, Zoey repeated until her tone escalated and she ruffled her hair in distress. 

"Just what the hell, Zoey?!" Out of annoyance, Zoey had the urge to cut her tongue for speaking too much last night. 

Zoey never planned on telling anyone about her past. Neither Zion Kwan nor Cora Ma knew about it! However, her drunken state trusted Matthew Xi!

She didn't want to recall it. It's just that Vivian Xi moved her heart and made her wonder what it was like having such a mother. Alas, speaking about her biological parents wasn't in her plans! 

The plan was Zoey celebrating her existence and freedom! No drama or whatsoever — just that!

"Jeez... I should really stop drinking too much. Good thing that's the only thing I said..." Zoey mumbled, sighing heavily as she turned to the side of the bed where Matthew Xi often slept. 

Realizing he was not there, Zoey knitted her brows. "Where's he?" She wondered, shifting her gaze to the wall clock which indicated the time. 

Seeing it was quarter past eight, Zoey dragged herself out of the bed. She overslept which was rare as her eyes automatically open at four or five in the morning — seven at max when she had too many drinks and didn't have plans the next day. 

Still, despite that it was a Saturday, Zoey had to check her emails and work on a few paperworks. It was just a routine which had turned into a habit. Thus, even though Matthew Xi could do the minor jobs, Zoey didn't feel like idling today. 

After the mess that caused her to recall a bad memory, Zoey wouldn't just idle around as she tends to overthink. She was afraid she might have a panic attack if that happened. 

Leaving her room, Zoey was about to head downstairs to make herself some coffee. However, just before she could, she heard a few noises coming from the other room not far away from the master's bedroom. 

She walked slowly and carefully to check what was going on. As she drew closer, she noticed that the door was halfway open. 

"Darling?" She called out softly, cautiously pushing the door open. 

Just as the door slightly creaked open, there stood Matthew Xi with a bunch of unused sheets and boxes of documents on the floor. When he heard the slight sound, he turned to Zoey's horrendous morning look. 

Since she fell asleep last night, Zoey hadn't removed her makeup — causing her mascara to smear under her eyes. Fortunately, Zoey uses light makeup; aside from her mascara. Not to mention, how messy her hair was at the moment. It was akin to a person who had lost her sanity. 

"I'm cleaning my room." Blinking once, Matthew Xi informed. 

Well, he had been planning on doing this ever since he moved in. After all, he couldn't just sleep in the same room as hers as his desires were growing stronger each night. 

"Ah..." Nodding her head, Zoey was a little out of it as her mind hadn't woken up yet. "Why?" She asked, not having enough energy to think just yet. 

Upon hearing her question, Matthew Xi arched his right brow. "We can't always sleep in the same room." He answered in a matter-of-fact tone as it was obvious. 

"Ha? Why?" 

"Do you want to have s*x with me?" Without further ado, Matthew Xi bluntly inquired which made Zoey's horrendous front twitch in dismay. 

"Wh — what are you talking about early in the morning, ha?!" Scoffing, Zoey widened her eyes as she didn't expect that question so abruptly.

For Pete's sake! She was just asking why he was moving into another room if they could share one room. After all, even though they were of the opposite genders, they've been very well behaved at night and never thought of anything silly... or so, she thought. 

Matthew Xi had been struggling every night to not do anything funny. He wasn't a saint to not have such desires when there was a beauty next to him!

"I wanted to confirm whether you prefer your nights spent in moaning or in peace." Shrugging his shoulder, Matthew Xi's tone didn't much change, alas his words were too direct causing Zoey to gasp. 

"However, I prefer making love, so even if you answer me with a 'yes' to the initial question, I would reject." He added, turning his attention back to the shelf he was wiping. 

Even though Matthew Xi never tidied his place with all the servants around to do that for him, he wasn't bothered by having to clean the small room. After all, this room would be his cage whenever he has urges for times when Zoey goes overboard with her teasing again. 

"Wow... I'm speechless." Blinking her widened eyes, Zoey shook her head as that was quite an exercise for her muddled mind. 

"Whatever, brother. I'll make myself a coffee — should I make you too?" Treating his words as irrelevant, Zoey diverted the subject and inquired. 

Seeing him nod his head without giving her a glance, Zoey cleared her throat. Zoey peered at him for a moment. 

'I'm sorry for being late.' Suddenly, these words hovered over her mind and the owner of that voice was Matthew Xi. 

Pressing her lips into a thin line, Zoey sighed. 'I now doubt I heard him say that last night after hearing his lewdness early in the morning..' Zoey grumbled internally before she shook her head and left to make some coffee.
