Cherish You as My Life - Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Ji Yao closed the door of his house as nothing had happened and helped the workers to move things into Han Xi’s house.

Since Han Xi had few belongings, it didn’t take much time to move things. 

As per her instructions, others moved Han Xi’s belongings into the living room, and Han Xi thought to arrange them over the weekend. 

After the movers left, Han Xi took out the electric kettle from a box and went to the kitchen to boil water.

When she came back to the living room, she saw Ji Yao sitting on a big cardboard box. “Why haven’t you left?”

Ji Yao got up from the box and helped Han Xi push aside the boxes that were blocking the living room. “Have you had dinner yet?” he asked, looking up at the woman.

“I’ll cook some dumplings later,” she said while taking two glasses from a box.

Ji Yao looked around and found that this house was really good as a wedding room. “In the future, there is no need to redecorate the house even if you get married.”

Without uttering a word, Han Xi handed a glass of water to Ji Yao.

“Hey, there are no lemon slices,” he said while curling his lips. “It’s just the water is so sweet without lemon.” After saying that, he sat on a cardboard box and drank some water.

Maybe because he was too heavy, the cardboard box broke and the man’s butt sank into the box.

Ji Yao sat in the middle of the broken cardboard box, with his hands on the ground. And he felt something soft under his palms. 

He also felt a faint scent of lemon mixed with a hint of unexplainable fragrance coming from the box. “What do you have in this box? It smells weird and so soft.” After speaking, he looked down.

What he saw under his palm was a red lace bra.

Han Xi came out from the kitchen and saw the scene. Her face turned crimson, and she strode to the front door and opened it. “Get out of here.”

Seeing that, Ji Yao was stunned. He had never seen such vivid expressions on Han Xi’s face, and he thought angry Han Xi looked cute. “I…I didn’t do it on purpose,” he hurriedly explained. 

However, when he got up, a black lace panty was hooked on the cuff button and was dangling on the back of his hand, making both of them stunned. “I… It sticks on by itself.”

There were small holes in the lace material, and it was normal for them to hook onto things.

Ji Yao wanted to shake off the panties, but as he couldn’t touch it, he raised his hand and shook his hand repeatedly. 

Han Xi hurriedly went to Ji Yao and pulled the panties. With a tearing sound, a long gash appeared in the fabric.

“I’m sorry. I’ll give you one as compensation later. You wear size M, right?” he asked after giving her a quick look.

Although Han Xi’s waist seemed to be thin, her buttocks were round. So Ji Yao thought that small size probably wouldn’t fit.

“No need. Just get out of here,” Han Xi said through gritted teeth. 

Without arguing with the pissed woman, Ji Yao approached the door and glanced at the floor of the living room.

Han Xi’s panties, which included midnight blue, passionate red, seductive black, and innocent pink, were scattered beside the cardboard box. 

Seeing that, Ji Yao imagined Han Xi standing wearing such sexy-coloured clothes rather than the grey, black clothes she usually wore. ‘This is the so-called example of being sultry to the extreme.’

Hearing a “bang”, Ji Yao came to his senses and saw that Han Xi had closed the door.

Ji Yao stood in the hallway, took out his phone, and checked. ‘Thank God! Luckily she didn’t block me.’

Boiling with anger, Han Xi gathered her underwear on the floor, went to the bathroom, washed them, and hung them on the balcony to dry.

It was the weekend.

While Han Xi was cleaning her house, Ji Yao went back to his parents’ house.

In order to inform everyone that the heir was still alive, Ji Yao’s parents took him to the Ji Group.

As Ji Yao emerged from the company building, he noticed a group of people gathered near the entrance.

“The popular model Jiang Wei was hired to shoot an advertisement for the newly opened real estate in the west of the city,” explained Secretary Li, who came out to see Ji Yao off.

“Who?” asked Ji Yao.

“She is regarded as the most attractive woman in China these days. It is said that no man can refuse her beauty.” After saying that, Secretary Li glanced at the crowd. 

The female model was wearing a black suspender dress with a curvy figure, long curly hair hanging over her chest, and a slight smile on her face. Suddenly, she glanced over to their side with a charming smile.

“I feel my heartbeat is racing and I’m about to die,” Secretary Li said, covering his heart with a shock. 

Ji Yao: “Your acting skills are exaggerated. Just like that, is she thinking she is beautiful?”

Thinking of the real beauty in the world, he pursed his lips and smiled, wishing he could fly home right now to see his beauty.

On the way home, Ji Yao called the chef at his parents’ home and told him not to come over to cook during this time.

After cooking by himself, Ji Yao went downstairs to buy a bunch of vivid red flowers, carried them to Han Xi’s house, and pressed the doorbell.

As soon as the door opened, he held up the bouquet and apologised sincerely. “I’m sorry, I tore your underwear last night.”

Han Xi: “Can’t you express it in another way?”

Ji Yao said, “Of course I can. I made black pepper steak. Do you want to eat it?”

“How good is the steak?” Han Xi asked, taking the roses and lowering her head to smell them.

Ji Yao curled his lips and replied, “Very good.” He whispered again, “My cousin is on a business trip abroad and is not at home.” There was boundless tenderness in those peach blossom eyes when he said that. With a gentle pat on her shoulder, he said again, “It’s just the two of us.”
