The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife - Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Sorry, I’m late_1

…

Dark nightfall.

The dreary detention room is bone-chillingly cold.

Hai Xiaotang sits in a corner, huddled up, her head buried in her knees, without making a sound.

Just as she is starting to doze off, the door suddenly swings open.

A steady pair of footsteps approach her…

Hai Xiaotang stirs a bit, lifting her head slowly. The first thing she sees is a pair of black leather boots, followed by a man’s shapely legs in trousers…

Then a blurry face, yet unmistakably familiar!

It is… Dongfang Yu!

Hai Xiaotang shivers all over, her gaze glued to his face, as if unable to believe her own eyes.

Dongfang Yu likewise stares at her, his eyes dark and unblinking.

He steps up to her, bends down his body and takes in her increasingly haggard face, his eyes betraying his deep affection.

Gently caressing her face, Dongfang Yu opens his mouth, but a husky voice says, “I’m sorry, Hai Xiaotang…”

By this moment, Hai Xiaotang’s eyes are already filled with tears.

Disbelievingly, she asks, “Dongfang Yu, is it really you?”

“It’s me….”

“Am I dreaming?” Hai Xiaotang cannot believe that he would suddenly appear before her.

At her words, Dongfang Yu’s heart aches.

Suddenly, he pulls her into his arms, hugging her tightly, deeply inhaling her scent, “I’m sorry, Hai Xiaotang. I’m late…”

Only once she felt his warmth, his powerful heartbeat, did Hai Xiaotang dare to believe it was him.

He truly returned, he came back safe…

He came back in her hour of utmost despair and hopelessness!

Hai Xiaotang lifted her stiff arms to hold him, unable to hold back her whimpers.

Ever since he left over a month ago, she’s been pretending to be strong.

Even today, though she was locked up, she still pretended to be brave.

But right now, in his arms, she cannot hide her vulnerability anymore!

As Hai Xiaotang weeps heartrendingly, Dongfang Yu listens in distress.

He holds her even tighter, constantly kissing her forehead, repeatedly apologizing.

Every “I’m sorry” is filled with deep regret and profound affection.

With every apology, Hai Xiaotang’s heart aches anew.

Tears keep falling, quickly soaking a large area of his coat.

“You’re safe now. No harm will come to you anymore. Don’t cry, you’re alright…” Dongfang Yu gently comforted her, leaving Hai Xiaotang puzzled for a moment.

Lifting her head, with tear-filled eyes, she asked, “What does ‘you’re safe now’ mean?”

Dongfang Yu pressed his lips together, replying in a low voice, “It means you’re safe. Let’s go home now!”

Before Hai Xiaotang could react, he picked her up and briskly walked out.

He really did take her out of the detention room.

Though she found it hard to believe, even as she sat in the spacious car, she asked uncertainly, “Am I really just walking out? Will I be okay?”

Holding her in his arms, stroking her hair, Dongfang Yu replied, “Yes, you’re fine. Nothing more will happen to you, you’re innocent. You’re fine.”

Overjoyed, Hai Xiaotang clarified, “Really? I’m really fine now? Is it you who saved me? How did you manage to do that, um…”

Without replying, Dongfang Yu suddenly seized her lips with a strong kiss!

His kiss was hot and intense, as though suppressed longing and overwhelming passion were unleashed.

Hai Xiaotang was taken aback at first, but soon melted into his arms as she fervently responded to him.

Feeling her response, Dongfang Yu’s kisses became even more heated and intense, surging terrifyingly!
