CHAPTER 342

Li Jing blinked twice, unsure of what just happened. One minute she was trying to say something and convey a message to him and the next he had his lips pressed against hers.

Before long, four heart beats had passed and she expected for him to pull away but he did not do that, rather his eyes remained closed and his lips pushed further, trying to prude them apart to enter.

Apparently a part of him still wanted her no matter how many times he tries to deny that fact. It still wasn't going to happen. He still craved her. Craved those soft lips that tasted like pure velvet and experience what it felt like to have a taste of those lips again.

A few seconds later, Li Jing finally succumbed to her inner desire. Although in her defense she told herself that it was all to play the part but the second she parted her lips a bit, she regretted it as all her hidden desires came rushing back.

She thought she had succeeded in hiding them but just a single kiss from him, brought them back to her mind.

Expertly, Ye Cheng slid his tongue into her mouth and first allowed it brush against hers slowly before entwining it with his.

He kissed her with all the passion he could muster, unable to hold back the feelings he refused to shop and actually showered her with it.

He had really missed her but he never knew to what extent until now.

Not wanting to be left out, Li Jing reciprocated each kiss with hers, she let her tongue brush the roof of his mouth and tangled her tongue with his briefly before pulling away.

She knew that if she had not stopped right there, she would betray herself and lose control. Besides, that was enough acting already.

Knowing fully well what it was, none of them could deny the feelings that was conveyed via it and also the passions which it brought.

She managed to give her usual smile before turning her head to look at the people that have already gathered.

Unfortunately for them, during their kissing splendor, so many of the passersby already took a shot of the happy coupled and trusting the modern age, in no time it was all over the social media.

Ye Cheng as well noticed the crowd of people already gathered there. Some had been attracted by the car and a few by the happy couple. Just from watching them, an idea came into his mind.

This was the perfect avenue to convey to others that he had married her. Increasing his tone of voice, he leaned in close to her face and said, "Shall we go home, wifey?"

Li Jing returned her gaze to him, causing their faces to be only inches apart like someone about to go in for a kiss. Her eyes scanned his for some time before she gave her reply. "Sure."

"Cool." He pressed another kiss on her cheek before releasing her waist and allowing her to go.

With hand locked together, he led her to the car as the doors opened, helped her in and went to take his sit right next to her.

Instantly, the bodyguards left the side of the car and one went to Ye Cheng;s car and the other went to meet Ye Cheng to take the keys to Li Jing's car while the other was already standing close to her car.

"Li Jing, please your car keys."

"Oh! Sorry." She dipped her hand into her purse and took out her car keys. "Here you go."

"Drive carefully," Ye Cheng warned the bodyguard and hinted for his own driver to go. "Congratulations on your wedding, Mrs Ye."

"Wow." She could not believe it either. She really was married to him. "Thanks. Congrats too."

Both of them gave a silent nod and relaxed, allowing the driver take them to wherever.

However, when they got to the bend leading to her grandfather's house, Ye Cheng's driver did not take that route but continued going straight.

"Where are we going?" Li Jing quickly asked. Her head turned in all directions to get an idea of what was happening.

"To get married, you also need a wedding ring. We are going to pick our wedding ring. I didn't want to pick without you, so I hope you wouldn't mind?"

"Oh… Rings, I forgot."

"And that is why you have me here. Good thing I remembered. Let's keep going."

In no time they arrived at the store and went to purchase the ring.

Left to Li Jing, a simple ring would have sufficed as it was a fake marriage but Ye Cheng did not want to hear it. Once again he did not fail to remind her that to portray what they started, they needed to finish it up till the end.

And for someone of his caliber, he couldn't gift his bride a ring not worthy of her beauty.

At the end of the day, a silver ring with a diamond gem was picked for her with something similar for Ye Cheng.

"Now it is official," Ye Cheng announced when they stepped outside the shop.

"Where to?"

"To get your things. I believe beginning from today, you would be living with me."

"Alright. But can't I just move in on my own tomorrow? I need to get my things arranged and all that."

"Li Jing, what kind of couple would we be if we were to not spend our wedding night together?"

"But we are not…"

"I know. We are not going to be intimate. Relax. I would not do anything you do not want me to. But for the sake of pretense. We need to do this."

Right then, Li Jing did not know whether he was saying these words because it was what logic would predict or was he saying this just because he wanted her close.

'Stop it Li Jing, things aren't as they used to be. Do not get any funny ideas.' She scolded her mind.

"Okay. Let's go then."
