Chapter 145 - Call Me By Name Only
She was awake now.
She slowly opened her eyes and froze for a small amount of time when she saw an enlarged but beautiful face in front of her.
The black eyes that were looking down at her were full of emotions she couldn\'t understand. Her own calm ones looked into those eyes without any change of expression on her face.
After a few moments of staring, She was startled when he suddenly leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"Did you sleep well?"
His deep voice fell in her ears and only then she seemed to realize that she was naked under the blanket because when he leaned down his skin touched her own making her shrink a little.
As she remembered the last night, she couldn\'t look at him. Awkwardly, she could only pull more blankets and cover her body tightly even if he couldn\'t see her.
Although her face was calm when she did this, Xi Ying knew that she was very shy because he could see her red earlobes.
A small smile spread on his lips and the despair he has been feeling for the past few days and yesternight seemed to have disappeared.
He couldn\'t stop himself from leaning down again and pecking her lips. It was supposed to be a peck but when he touched those lips he was lost.
He held her cheek softly and kissed her deeply.
As his kisses traveled down from her mouth to her neck he also dragged the blanket down with his hand when Li Rui suddenly held his hand.
He stopped and looked into her eyes.
"Lord, not now…"
Li Rui said firmly. She felt her heart that was beating fast because of the pleasure suddenly calm down when she saw the frown on his forehead after hearing her words.
Was he upset because she said no?
Then why did he tell her that she could stop him when she felt uncomfortable?
Thinking this in her heart, she was about to leave his hand.
If he wanted, he could do. She wouldn\'t stop him again.
After all, it was her decision and now she does not have any right to back down from her words.
Her heart was now suddenly very calm as if nothing really happened.
However, when she left his hand, she suddenly found him holding her cheek and turning her head to make him look at himself.
"What did you call me?"
There was still a frown on Xi Ying\'s forehead as he asked this. He didn\'t like her calling him \'Lord\'.
It didn\'t feel right.
Instead, when she called him by his name he felt a sense of belonging. Only she could call him like this except his mother.
Because she was his woman and he belonged to her only.
On the other hand, Li Rui was surprised to hear his question and when she heard the displeasure in his voice.
When she raised her head and saw the same frown on his face, she suddenly found the situation a little funny.
Was he being upset about such a small thing?
Amidst her thoughts, she heard his voice again.
"Call me by my name."
This time Xi Ying\'s voice was gentle but firm as well. He looked determined to hear his name from her mouth.
Hearing his words, Li Rui remembered the last night when he had asked her to call him by his name again and again.
She suddenly felt hot all over her body again and her heartbeat fastened.
Last night was different. Her mind was blank at that time but now she could think calmly.
She opened her mouth and tried to make him understand.
"Lord…"
But as soon as the word \'lord\' came out of her mouth, her lips were sealed.
"Mmmm…"
Xi Ying held her under himself and leaned back a little when she struggled a little. Staring in her eyes, he caressed her red cheek gently and whispered
"Rui, call me by my name."
Breathing heavily, Li Rui shook her head and tried again
"Lord, this wangfei …"
But her sentence was interrupted again and this time Xi Ying sucked the most sensitive spot on her neck.
The wetness on her neck and the pleasure made her widen her eyes and she said
"St…stop"
But he didn\'t., instead he sucked her skin more fervently.
So in the end, she could only call out his name.
"Ying"
Satisfied Xi Ying raised his head and kissed her forehead gently. Making her look in his eyes, he whispered
He didn\'t mind when Li Rui didn\'t say anything, instead, he said with a smile
"If you called me \'Lord\' in the future then I will kiss them until you called out my name."
He said while tracing his finger along her lips.
Li Rui frowned and seeing this, Xi Ying chuckled. He could guess what she might be thinking. He smoothened her frown with his fingers. Attaching their foreheads, he whispered very gently.
"Rui, I won\'t force you in anything. This is just my only wish. Call me by name only and don\'t use honorifics when we are talking no matter where we are."
Li Rui looked at him once as he closed his eyes and then buried his head in her neck.
The warm breath from his nose was falling on her skin. His hands were hugging her tightly in his arms. His torso was lying on her body and her arms were lying on the bed.
As she stared at the ceiling, Li Rui felt that it might not be that bad also.
She could feel that he respected her wishes.
Sometimes, she would still feel suspicious of his sudden change in behavior towards her but seeing his eyes she really couldn\'t find any viciousness.
Looking down at the man who was lying above her, she sighed.
She just hoped whatever she was seeing was right.
Then even if she didn\'t have any feelings for him, she wouldn\'t mind spending her life with this man. In the end, Xi Ling needed him also.
He was her son\'s father. She could see the brightness in Xi Ling\'s eyes whenever Xi Ying showed care towards her.
So it shouldn\'t matter if she was ready to compromise, right?
However, she didn\'t know that Xi Ying wanted more.
He doesn\'t want only her body. He wanted her heart, her soul, and her everything.
Just like he had given his everything to her.?
