From Dusk till Dawn!

Chapter 3: Hey, let's get married !

His every word stuck an arrow in her heart as she thought 'Why am I feeling like this? Why is my heart beating erratically? Is this the legendary love at first sight?'

After having a decent number of boyfriends in the past, no one has ever made her feel that way. But why does he feel familiar? With every glance at him, she could feel some connection as if she had known him for ages.

And before she knew it, a strong palm was on her cheeks, as his thumb wiped her tears. 'That's it. Is this man trying to test my self-control?' she thought.

And before the man could retract his hand, she grabbed the collar of his shirt and smacked her lips on his. Her kiss was so intense that the man froze, he didn't know how to react. Though it was not his first kiss, it could be counted as second. Her aggressiveness, the way she kissed him, her scent resurfaced a distant memory in his mind.

But before he could grasp that feeling, his hand was already resting on her waist as he pulled her on his lap, already responding to her kiss. It was instinctive, he had no experience in kissing but she had already made him like this.

Tang Li was addicted to this, she never knew a kiss can make her feel this way. She encircled her arms around his neck, he could smell the sweet chocolaty fragrance her body was emitting, and then her tongue was in his mouth, he did not even catch a glimpse of her face, so instantaneous and urgent was that tongue.

He sucked her tongue as if it was the sweetest candy. Whereas to her, he smelt cozy, there was even a hint of vanilla. His kissing intensity slowly overpowered hers and she felt that rush of helplessness, the sinking yielding, the surging tide of warmth that left her limp.

His insistent mouth was parting her shaking lips, sending wild tremors along her nerves, evoking from her sensations she had never known she was capable of feeling. His lips only left hers when her breathing hitched.

Both of them were breathless as they parted.

Mo Yuhan looked at her softly as his eyes slightly narrowed. He has never had any affections for anyone other than that girl who left his life in the past, without even looking back, without saying goodbye!

But right now, this woman in his arms was his present. There was a firm determination in his eyes. He was not going to back out this time. He will go with his heart and pursue her.

But before he could voice out his thoughts, he felt her hand getting wrapped around his thumb.

He stared at her, and that was it. Her eyes were sparkling like a little kid asking for candy. And before he can grasp the tickling feeling in his heart, he heard her speak "Hey, let's get married."

Mo Yuhan subconsciously nodded his head but suddenly the realization struck him. The man was in disbelief as he stared at the girl in front of him. He was speechless for the first time in his life.

But then again why the hell is he feeling jittery, glittery all over as if this was not something so bad? He just stared at her, his face was cold and frigid but there was a softer look in his eyes.

But she continued her 'serious' talk as she said "You see, I'm a big fish as in, I'm one in a million. You will never meet a girl like this beautiful goddess sitting in front of you. I am young, hot and of course, I earn a lot. So, you can even quit your job and be a house husband. I'll feed you and never abandon you. Isn't it a jackpot to have this me as your wife?"

The man was dumbstruck, it was the first time he has seen someone so bold and narcissistic, but it didn't taint her elegance in a little bit. She didn't look showy, but it instead highlighted her self confidence, making her appear much more beautiful. He softly sighed before asking, "Why me?"

"Because it's you...Uhm. I mean you are pleasing to my pretty eyes...So, let's get married?" she explained calmly and gave him her signature smile.

His heart skipped a beat and hell he knew that she will be the death of him one day when he said "Yes, my pleasure!" But then he paused to look at the woman who was staring at him unblinkingly with starry eyes. He thought of something before speaking "I'll marry you but with one condition."

Her heart skipped a beat when he said yes. She thought he will find an excuse because he didn't even know who she was. She couldn't believe that she proposed to a stranger for marriage. To top it off, the man agreed!

She thought that like her exes, even he is going to ask her to date him and then he will try to come closer, be physical, and whatnot.

Not that she liked her exes or was in any way interested in marrying those jerks, they were just trophy boyfriends so that she can convince her old man about her real sexual orientation since he always doubted it. It was another thing that those men didn't suit the old man's eyes.

This man didn't even ask her name when he agreed to marry her. What is this? Are all men this straightforward? Based on her personal experience, the answer was a big fat 'no'. All her exes were jerks.

But when it came to him, he somehow feels right to her heart. He soothed her nerves like a herbal just with a few magical words. The vanilla fragrance he exuded made her feel at home. He somehow understands her feelings and the kiss they shared...This is it, she thought.

But the man said the thing about the condition. She pursed her lips in anticipation as she thought about what was he going to ask for.

Puzzled, she couldn't help but ask him "What?"

He looked into her eyes as his gaze turned serious which made her a little fidgety. He spoke up indifferently "I will be your only man. No concubines and no other fishes. I will not accept that."

Her lips twitched. Her mouth hung open forming a cute 'O' as she wondered 'Is this man for real? What the hell is this? I was expecting him to ask for something serious, materialistic, dowry, and whatnot but here he is asking me to abandon my future concubines which do not even exist till now,' She smirked slightly, 'Well, what concubine? What other fish? This man is too hard to resist. If he is the deal then I can suffer some losses.''

If her grandpa could hear her thoughts, he would have laughed like it was the biggest joke of this era. She was saying as if she had a lot of men around her when she doesn't even like to greet a man for basic formalities. Her ex-boyfriend list was just a show appease the old man that she is not a lesbo.

Tang Li sighed before looking into his eyes, her voice laced with determination "As long as you don't bring any mistresses in the future, I won't get a wild man."

A chuckle escaped his lips at her wordings.

But before he could say anything, Secretary Liu came back after completing the task given to him. When he looked at both of them, he could feel something was amiss.

Mo Yuhan looked at Tang Li for an instant, then he turned to look at his secretary as he said "Let's go."

Secretary Liu looked at the future Young Mistress, then turned around to look at President Mo before asking "Where to?"

Before Mo Yuhan could reply, Tang Li grabbed his hand in hers and said in a calm manner "Civil Affairs Bureau."

Oh... Alright...Eh...Where? The poor secretary stood there as if he was struck by lightning. He expected this day to come soon. But this soon? Isn't it too soon soon? He could feel his heart shaking because of the big shock.

With his playboy personality' he could only conclude that this woman's seduction is so powerful.

If Mo Yuhan had heard his thoughts, it would have been a wonder if he was not fired right at that moment.

Before he could say anything, Mo Yuhan calmly said, "Make sure that the office is not closed till we reach."

The poor secretary coughed twice before composing himself as he walked moving towards the car.

On the way, Tang Li informed Mo Yuhan that she knew someone from the office and he will get all formalities done for them. They just needed to put their signatures and get a picture clicked together.

Secretary Liu also did his job well by informing the bureau that President Mo was going to marry today.

On the other hand, Tang Li didn't want Mo Yuhan to know her name yet, she enjoyed their time like this, it seems like she was back being a teenager. Hence, her friend who was in charge of the place suggested that they should sign their names in separate papers and he would get it scanned and procedures will be done.

Neither did Tang Li wanted to know his name. She wanted to but it would be unfair if she hides her name from him. Her conscience will prick her if she tried to investigate. Just like Mo Yuhan, she could also feel a familiarity between them. She somehow trusted him, on instinct.

Mo Yuhan didn't protest since his heart has already accepted her. For the first time in life, President Mo was doing something unpredictable.

He knew if his decision turned out to be wrong, then their marriage will drown in misery and hurt but still, he wanted to give it try. And somehow, he was sure that he will not be proved wrong. Maybe, this is how it was supposed to be.
