Wild Young Miss: Mister, Let's Kiss!

"Hehe." Hopping away from clinging onto Matthew Xi, Zoey grinned as she placed her hand behind her back. 

"We're officially together!" Without further ado, Zoey declared as if Zion Kwan and Cora Ma hadn't figured it out yet. 

"Congrats." Offering a meek smile, Zion Kwan got the gist that Matthew Xi and Zoey already came clean with each other. Thus, as he gave Matthew Xi a chance to accept him as Zoey's lover, he congratulated them for this huge progress. 

"R-really?" Unlike Zion Kwan, Cora Ma was a bit hesitant to congratulate them after knowing Matthew Xi's real status. 

"Yes! Just pretend you are not hearing things later~" Cupping her cheeks, Zoey giggled which made the face of the two soon-to-be husband and wife distort. What does that mean?

"Anyway, take care on your way out~! As for me and my baby, we'll be busy~!" Teasing the two who were not open for this kind of suggestive subject, Zoey hooked her arm around Matthew Xi's. 

"Let's go?" Grinning at him, Zoey asked which made him nod his head once. Matthew Xi then smirked at Zion Kwan, as if declaring his victory. 

'Huh? Why did I feel he was saying I lose?' Zion Kwan's subconscious mind wondered, his brows twitched as he was convinced Matthew Xi still saw him as a competitor.

*****

Minutes later, Zoey headed inside the shower to freshen up while Matthew Xi had to check the emails from Z Image Group. After all, he had ordered Zoey's people to send their report by the end of the day and he was serious with that. 

"Aya~ I think I'm finally getting laid after seven years." As water sprinkled down her bare body, Zoey muttered as her cheeks heated up by the thought plus the temperature of the hot water that caused steam to rise around the bathroom. 

Looking down, Zoey spotted a few red marks on her chest and on her breast. "Hehe~" she giggled, biting her lips as she recalled how his lips and tongue did those marks. 

Her body could vividly remember his touches as if he was still doing it. "These marks feel nice now..." Her eyes softened, as she touched the hickey he had left. 

Seven years ago, Zoey left him while her body had these same marks from their intense night together. Unlike years ago, Zoey didn't feel the same annoyance. 

If anything, she loved these hickeys left by him. Just by looking at them, Zoey accepted all of them. Even if those marks would leave her body in a few days, they would remain tattooed on her heart. 

Now, she was enlightened by the difference of their relationship in the past. It gave her a clear view about the vast difference between sex and making love. 

As Zoey's mind dwelled on her realization today, she didn't notice the door silently sliding open. She only did notice when Matthew Xi who was in his bathrobe came up to her back as he left a soft peck on her shoulder. 

As soon as she felt the heat, Zoey nearly startled. Fortunately, she didn't slip because he was holding onto her waist. 

"Why didn't you lock the door?" Matthew Xi whispered, trailing her shoulder and neck with the apex of his nose. 

"Uhm... I wanted you to come over." Biting her lower lip, Zoey spoke honestly as it was the truth.

She wished that he would join her, but didn't expect that much. After all, she didn't really think he would finish that soon. 

"Mhmm..." Humming a tune, Matthew Xi slowly crept his hand around her toned tummy as he rested his chin on her shoulder. 

With this position, water sprinkled down at him, his bathrobe eventually soaked in water as his hair drooped down. "Love, will you marry me?" Out of nowhere, Matthew Xi proposed. 

"Ah? Wait," A little taken aback by his sudden proposal, Zoey turned around and faced him. The absence of her clothes didn't bother her, as she stood bare in front of him while he still had his bathrobe on which was weighing heavier due to the water. 

"Darling, are you seriously proposing to me now? As in now with...?" Zoey tilted her head down, indicating that she was naked taking a shower. 

"Do you want me to do it later?" Not seeing the same problem as her, Matthew Xi compromised by delaying the question after their bath. 

"Gosh... where's the ring?" Zoey clicked her tongue, groping the bathrobe as she searched for the key to this weird proposal. 

Well, Zoey wasn't expecting anything from him. But still, she was also a woman who harbored dreams of a romantic proposal. 

It didn't mean it should be grand, but simple and moving just like Cora Ma and Zion Kwan. Still, considering this man was Matthew Xi, Zoey could not expect that he would have a grand idea of proposing to her in the most romantic ways. 

"I'm just practicing." Placing both his hands on the side of her neck, Matthew Xi softly kissed her forehead. "So when the time comes, you wouldn't figure it out before the real proposal." He added, bluntly telling her that he would practice until Zoey would get used to it and not spoil the surprise herself. 

After all, Zoey was too smart that not a secret seemed to remain hidden from her. Hence, Matthew Xi would also need to step up his game since surprising her means tricking her in a different way. 

"Meanie..." Pouting, Zoey let him shower her with a series of kisses before his lips finally landed on her lips. 

As soon as their lips collided, Zoey felt his hand snake around her waist while the other cupped her cheek up. Instinctively, Zoey slid his robe off before crawling her arms around his neck. 

As soon as the robe slid off, giving a heavy sound of water splash, a hard rod poked her abdomen that touched a bit of her lady bug.. She could feel it throb, causing her bestie down there to clench as if excited to greet his soldier.
