Forced by fate – Destined to be his Wife

TangShi was upset, her chest aching, but she knew it wasn’t his fault. His work was important and as the future CEO he had to prove himself worthy for the board of shareholders and his grandfather. Leng Group was a massive corporation and a leader in so many fields. Going away on trips was inevitable.

“I can’t miss school or the show or I would come. I don’t want you to be gone so long.” She pouted and then shook herself mentally to paste on a brighter expression as she didn’t want him feeling bad over this.

“It’s just over three hours for the flight. If I have a long stay over I can try coming back one night for a couple of hours to break up the week. Maybe more than once to see you if I can fit it in.” YuZhi couldn’t bear the thought of it either. Hating she would be here alone and going to see that asshole Rong Cai without anyone to keep him in line. Missing her was going to drive him crazy.

“Don’t do that. You’re already tired and overworked as it is. Don’t make me feel guilty by adding flight time in. I’m a big girl I can stay alone for a few days and Linlin will come over some nights.” TangShi reassured him and then caught sight of the clock on the wall and squealed. “I’m going to be late.” She jabbed him in the abdomen, pushing him off like tossing off the bed covers, in panic and began tugging his arm to hurry him as he looked for the car key on the wall rack. He slid his feet into his shoes and checked he had his briefcase and phone.

“Let’s go. I can call you at lunch when I know for certain what’s happening. If I drive fast you’ll make it.” He turned her and pinched her ass for good measure, opening the door and sliding them out into the hallway before yanking it shut. Patting his pocket again to eb sure he had everything.

“Don’t get a ticket.” She warned.

“If I get you there early can we make out until you have to go in? Then I don’t mind getting a ticket.” He joked pulling her with him by the hand as he headed for the elevator at speed. TangShi laughed at his childishness, her bossy man always behaving like a hormonal teen, and no one would ever believe he was the icy Mr. Leng famous in the Leng group for his composed and cool outer persona. If they could see him like this they would never trust him to run things.

“If you get us stopped for a ticket then we won’t get there early. How about drive normally and if I’m a little late it’s fine.”

“So….. being five minutes later from a make out session shouldn’t matter either?” he winked back at her and got an eyeroll in response.

“What happened to you? You used to be so aloof and controlled.” She giggled, meandering behind him as he led the way down to the underground carparking garage. It was a fast elevator ride and a short walk to his usual spot.

“My Cinderella from eight years ago finally showed up. I’m still aloof with everyone else in the word except you. That’s the perk of being my fiancée.” He winked at her and opened the car door to let her in, always the gentleman as he put his open palm up against the frame to pad it so she wouldn’t bump her head as she slid into the seat.

“I like it. I didn’t like when you were mean and cold and borderline abusive.”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“Me? Never! I’m so above immature behavior and cruelty.” He jested knowing fine well his behavior of their early days were something he regretted every time he looked at his sweet angels face. She had riled him to extra levels he never understood back then.

YuZhi got in the car, turned on the engine but as he turned to click his seatbelt he caught sight of her arranging hers. The sweet delicate side profile of her like this. Hair up off her face, free from make up and yet blushed from early morning cooler weather. Her naturally small and delicate features that made her silhouette breathtaking and the almost juvenile hairstyle. It enhanced an already pretty face, bringing out his protective instinct to always shield her from the world. She was wearing an outfit that made her seem younger and somehow vulnerable and his heart expanded to painful levels as he stared at her. Frozen mid task while he couldn’t deny how incredibly in love with her he was. She was his idea of perfection in every way, and it overflowed his heart and soul and pushed his impulsive need to kiss her to extreme levels.

Catching her off guard, he let go of his belt, so it zipped back into the holder, leaned in and caught her under the chin with one hand, pulling her face to him and sunk a kiss that rendered her speechless. Not a gentle peck or a goodbye grazing of lips but an intense need to satisfy a craving that had sprung up from the deepest part of him, almost like a ravenous hunger. Aware that she was the only girl on the planet that had ever made him feel or act this way, even so many years ago when he hadn’t been able to stop kissing her. He knew every second with TangShi highlighted how lacking in love and passion his years with Rhea had been.

YuZhi kissed her firmly, pushing their lips apart as he deepened it to searing hot levels and devoured her mouth as though they were alone in their bedroom and not the complex parking. His hand sliding into her hair so he could tilt her face to better accommodate him and kissed her breathless, holding nothing back. Tongues exploring one another’s taste and feel as she surrendered to him. Heat rising between them, and breath labored as bodies reacted and pulses soared. TangShi’s hands slid around his neck involuntarily and she teased and toyed with her own responding kiss, savoring him. Losing sense of time and forgetting that both were running late to instead succumb to a basic primal urge to be joined intimately.

They kissed for minutes before YuZhi pulled back breathless, keeping their noses touching lightly and brushed her hair from her face that had escaped her up-style. Gazing into her eyes to calm his crazy responses and finally feeling complete again and less listless and scatterbrained. She gave him sanity.

“I Love you so much it makes me crazy. How did I get this lucky?” He whispered his breath tickling her lips because they were still that close. His tone low and husky and wishing he had kept her upstairs in bed and a forced day off. Screw work and school when he needed her this much. TangShi blushed and smiled stroking his cheek with her thumb and then tracing his lips with equal enamor.

“I love you too. You make me happier than I’ve ever been. I feel like I’m the one who was blessed and could never imagine my life would go this way.” TangShi responded in an equally affected tone. Her heart racing and body on fire with longing for him to do more than kiss.

“I’ll do anything for you, you know that, right? Whatever you need, whenever you want something. Just ask. I’ll move mountains for you, Tang. I’ll never hurt you again, I’ll never leave you. I need you.” He pulled her into his body the best he could at their awkward positioning and slid her face in against his throat as he hugged her tight and stroked his fingers through her hair as it hung behind her. Needing her more than anything in this moment when he knew he was going to have to leave. Almost squeezing the life out of her with the intensity of his grip.

“I know. I’ll do anything in my power to make you happy too. I feel like I was always meant to find you again. That you’re my fate.” Tang slid back, releasing herself from his hold and cradled his face in her two palms, sighing with sheer contentment at a face she idolized and adored. YuZhi maybe hadn’t started off as the man of her dreams when they married but now she couldn’t imagine ever wanting anyone else this way. He was the gentle and loving boy she met in Beijing and had left his mark on her heart for all time. Gorgeous inside and out.

Gazing at one another until sense finally filtered in and YuZhi’s beep of his phone brought them back to reality. They lingered, smiling in genuine happiness before he exhaled and groaned at reality invading once again.

“We should go, huh?” he grinned, pushing her back into her seat and adjusting her belt for her before moving back to his own. Regretting the fact he would have to leave but energized by the feel of her on his lips.
