After a moment within Wang Feng's arms, I pulled away.

"Lan" He scowled and held me back against him. "Why are you pulling away from me?"

"Feng, you're hurt" I said gently with my hand flat against his exposed chest.

I tried to put some distance between us - careful not to place pressure on his wound.

"I don't care" He yanks me hard, crushing me to his chest.

"Looks like we're completely forgotten Li Xia"

"It seems so"

I blushed when I heard Min's voice and Li Xia giggles. Realizing that I forgotten about them, I struggle to break free. But Feng's arm were securely around my waist, hold my body against his. He was refusing to let go.

"Why are you two still here?" Feng spoke to him while he kept his eyes on me. "Leave us"

"Grandfather has strict orders that I keep close to mei-mei" Min's voice held a hint of laughter.

"Fa Min, your mei-mei is with me, you're no longer needed here"

"For a man who is currently at the brink of death, you're not capable to keep mei-mei safe, Wang Feng "

"Fa Min" I could hear his anger and coldness rising each passing second. "You_"

"Feng" I lifted my head and pleaded him with my eyes.

His eyes soften while he clutched tighter at my waist.

"Tell your brother to leave" He gave me the choice.

I looked up into his eyes seeing that he was serious. He won't let me go.

"Min-ge..." I said weakly, feeling my cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Min's brow raised, daring me to ask him to leave. I was conflicted. I didn't want to hurt my dear cousin's feelings, but I couldn't ignore Feng either.

"Fa Min" Li Xia suddenly pulled at Min's arm, dragging him out. "Come with me. I want to speak you for a moment"

Before Min was able to react, he was already dragged away by the small woman. Relieved that Li Xia had helped me, I had watched as they left through the doors. 

As soon as we were alone, Feng lifted me to my toes with the hand around my waist. Seeing his parted lips as he lowered his head, I closed my eyes. 2 years – it had been 2 years since we last spoke – last seen each other – last kissed. His lips were dry and all I could do was suck and lick it until he took my tongue into his mouth. Our soft moans echoed in my ears as we kiss deeply. Our heads move slowly from one side to the other, wanting our tongues to tangle deeper. It felt so right – so good, that all I could do was clutched onto his back and shoulders. We willingly lost ourselves to the kiss.

When we were able to end the kiss, I stared up into his dark eyes. His lips, now pink and wet from our kiss, has a smile. 

"You can no longer leave me" His voice went husky from our kiss. "Lan, your 2 years are up... you belong to me now"

I couldn't say a word as he bent and capture my lips once more. I didn't resist – couldn't stop myself from returning his kiss. I missed him. I wanted him. In that moment, all I cared was that he was holding me.

Soon after, we sat at the table - side by side. I had asked him to let me see his injuries and change the loose bandage that has blood stains. He ordered one of the servants to get the things I need to clean his wounds. Seconds later, four maids entered, each holding a tray of supplies.

"Let Wei Lan knows if it hurts" I said softly while wiping at the wound on his right shoulder, just above his chest.

Seeing how deep the cut was, my heart clinched.

"Your complexion is light. Feng, have you been taking your medicine?" I asked while cleaning the dry blood around his wound.

"Those medicine are disguising, I'm fine without it"

"Feng..." I looked at his face, seeing his frown.

"Lan, I'm not drinking those medicines. That old doctor purposely prescribes the worst concoction for me to drink. That the revolting liquid he call medicine was made to spite me" Feng snorted coldly.

I sighed softly. Medicines weren't made to be delicious. The higher quality the medicine, the more potent it is. Seeing Feng indignation, I realized the man was indeed spoil.

"Then let Wei Lan make you tea. Feng, will you have the tea?"

 That brought a smile to his face.   

"Bring Wang Fei what she needs"

I blushed while he ordered the maids. This was the second time he called me Wang Fei. Even though we just met again after 2 years, marriage has yet to be mention. How can he call me his wife?

"Feng" I tried to correct him but his soft eyes and smiles stopped me.

Letting him have his ways, I quietly applied the medication before placing a soft pad on his wound. Taking the long white fabric, I begin to wrap it around his shoulder and chest. I stood between his parted legs while my arms stretched around his back to wrap the cloth around him. Because I was focusing on the task, I didn't see his smiles nor did I notice the hands around my waist. When I finished, he pulled me down onto his lap. With his arms around my waist, Wang Feng held me.

"F_ Feng" I glanced at the maids still nearby.

They were surprised by their young master behavior.

"Leave"

The maids disperse like birds, closing the door after they left. Alone, Feng leaned in toward me, but I leaned away from him.

"Feng..."

Feng chuckled at my weak attempt to avoid his lips. When I leaned away, I had exposed my neck. Feng pressed his lips against my exposed skin and tighten his hold on my waist as he suck. Covering my lips, I felt the heat of his body rising as he suck harder on the nape of my neck. Letting out a muffled gasp as I felt his mouth pushed the collar of my robe down to reached closer to my chest. 

"Feng... no" I was scared.

Feng immediately stopped and held my head to his chest.

"Don't be frightened... Lan, I will only take you when we're married"

I trembled at his words. 

"Lan, are you ready to become my wife" He asked while he held my chin, wanting my eyes on his. "Do you know what your feelings are...? Do you love Feng?"

I was shaking in his arms. I wanted to tell him everything. My heart and thoughts - I wanted to let him know all of it. But I couldn't. I couldn't say a single word.

"Let Wei Lan make you tea..." I got off his lap, unable to face him.

He was silent while I made tea. When I served the cup to him, he drank it. The entire time, we did not spoke. Long after Feng finished the whole pot, I quietly placed everything back in the tray.

"Even if I don't have your heart" Feng spoke, coldly so. "You are not allowed to leave here. In 2 months, you will be my bride Fa Wei Lan"

2 months? My eyes widened at his declaration.

"2 months is too soon_"

I flinched when Feng slammed his fist onto the table, causing a crack in the solid hardwood. His eyes were blazing – no longer soft or gentle.

"In 2 months you will marry me" Feng was shouting, losing his temper completely. "I will not wait a moment longer. Don't test my patience"

For the first time since I've known him, Wang Feng had never showed me such temper. Even though he's cold and cruel by nature – even though toward everyone else, he is indifferent – never has he ever treated me anything less than precious. To be yelled at, shout at – I was at a loss.

"You_" Feng reached for my hand, holding on it tight as he suppressed the anger. "Do you not want me at all? Why did you come if you are going to deny me?"

I was trembling, unable to say anything back.

"Fine" Feng let go of my hand and looked away. "I will give you a chance to go. Don't come back"

Before I could think, I fall into his arms and held onto him tight. I didn't want to go. I didn't want him to act so coldly to me.

"Wei Lan wants to be with Wang Feng" I buried my face against his chest, holding back the tears. "Wang Feng don't be cold to Wei Lan... don't be angry..."

He made no move to hug me, scaring me to hug him tighter.

"Feng" I panicked. "Wei Lan heart has been Wang Feng since you stole my first kiss. Wang Feng it's your fault. It's your fault Wei Lan is like this..."

When he finally wrapped his arms around me and had me back on his lap, I buried my face against the crook of his neck. I didn't want him to see the tears. I didn't want him to think of me as weak. 

"Wang Feng, you're so mean" I said as his lips pressed on the top of my head.

"You force me to be mean, Lan" He spoke softly. "Have you learned your lesson?"

I lifted my head to look up at Wang Feng. He kissed my forehead, eyes, nose, cheek, and lips. Each kiss was gentle, soft, and loving. He held me back against his heart while my arms wrapped around his waist. His anger had frightened me to the point where I almost collapse. Now that he's holding me gently again, my heart calmed. Before I realize it - all the travels, the panic, the worries, and fear had exhaust me. 

I unknowingly feel asleep in Wang Feng arms.
