Their eyes met.
Her wet lashes blinked, and another tear slid from the corner of her eye. Though her vision was blurred with tears, she stared at him stubbornly. "Seeing me so pathetic, crying after just a few words from you, you must be pretty pleased with yourself, right?"
Xie Jinbai's heart was about to break.
He took a sharp breath, cupped her face, and brought his lips down to hers.
"I'm not pleased. I can't bear to see you cry, really..."
'He had once thought he was probably a killing general reincarnated, fated to reap lives in this world. And she... she was the bane of his existence, sent by the heavens to subdue him.'
The moment she cried, he lost all his defenses.
He was utterly defenseless.
A dense flurry of kisses trailed down from her eyelashes as the faint scent of cedar filled her senses.
Cui Lingyao sniffled, but just as she was about to speak, her lips were sealed by his.
It was a deep, invasive kiss.
Given without reservation.
Very direct.
