Super Sweet, 100\% Honeymoon-Chapter 790 - 787: Backing Down (3)

The car door opened, and a pair of long, slender legs stepped out first, followed by Ou Jue’s aristocratic and upright figure.

In an instant, their eyes met.

Ou Jue slammed the car door shut. His usually steady steps carried urgency as he grabbed Xia Xiyan’s arm entirely, his gaze scanning her body. "Where are you hurt? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Hm? Xia Xiyan, answer me!"

"I’m fine..."

"You idiot!" Ou Jue scolded lowly, then suddenly pressed her against his chest. His voice grew completely hoarse, "Is your existence simply meant to torture me? When will you finally start listening to me?"

The words were gritted through his teeth, but each one was laced with deep concern and anxiety.

"Ou Jue..." Xiyan raised her small face to look at him. "Is there nothing else you want to say to me?"

With lips slightly pursed, the young man suddenly swept her up into his arms, carried her to his sports car, and gently placed her inside.

Then, circling around the car body, he opened the door and got in as well.

The enclosed space instantly shrank the distance between the two.

Ou Jue propped an elbow on the steering wheel, turning his head to look at her.

After staring for quite a while, he abruptly pulled her into his embrace.

Lowering his eyes, he softened his tone, "Please don’t be mad at me anymore, okay?"

Xiyan froze.

The always aloof Ou Jue was now lowering his stance to coax her.

"It’s all my fault." Ou Jue held her tightly, his voice low and raspy. "It’s my fault for neglecting you because of the company’s issues, for not considering your feelings. It’s all on me."

A hot sensation stirred in her eyes, and Xiyan cried.

Tears fell uncontrollably, splashing down one by one.

Ou Jue lowered his head, planting soft kisses across her small face, gently brushing away her tears. In a hushed voice, he murmured, "I know you’ve been wronged. Don’t cry anymore, Xiyan. Be good."

"Wah..." Xiyan began sobbing even harder. "I didn’t know the Ou Group was in trouble. I thought you were intentionally avoiding me these past days. I thought you believed Qiao Qianmo, that you didn’t trust me, that you were rejecting me over and over. Why didn’t you tell me? I really didn’t know..."

With long, elegant fingers, Ou Jue patiently wiped away her endless tears. "The company indeed had some challenges, so I’ve been very busy these days—so occupied that it led you to overthink.

I didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t want you to worry or feel anxious for my sake. My little fool, all you need to do is live carefree under the sky I uphold for you.

Other troubles, you don’t have to bear.

Because you have me.

Not touching you wasn’t because I didn’t trust you.

It’s precisely because I trust you that I didn’t want to force anything on you to prove your innocence.

My girl, from beginning to end, has always been pure. As long as you say so, I’ll believe you."

All the emotions accumulated little by little with Ou Jue’s low, magnetic voice, surging to a peak.

Xiyan cried so hard that her shoulders trembled. "But you didn’t touch me before, didn’t kiss me. Several times you were about to kiss me but stopped. I just thought you despised me..."

"I was afraid that the moment I touched you, I wouldn’t be able to control myself and would want you." Ou Jue gently stroked Xiyan’s fluffy little head and let out a low laugh. "So, you’ve been waiting for me to kiss you all along? Something like... this?"

With his hoarse voice, he finished speaking and cradled Xiyan’s small face, leaning in to kiss her tenderly.
