“Yayoi, even if it is an abyss, I will hold you and jump down into it with you.”
He whispered into her ear, burying himself deep into her body.
At this moment, they belonged only to each other. He had no engagement and no fiancée.
She lifted her hand to caress his eyes and brows, her own eyes filled with deep affection.
Although the outcome was important, what was even more important was the process.
Her lips curled up and she smiled. As long as the two of them loved each other, there would be nothing to fear even in an abyss.
Once she understood that, her heart was set at ease. She mischievously pinched his nose.
Looking at the boundless sea, Yayoi stood at the edge of the deck, her waist pressing against the railing. She glared coldly at him.
“Yayoi, don’t do anything silly. It’s dangerous there. Come here quickly.”
He cautiously approached her.
But when he was just a few steps away from her, she suddenly turned and jumped off the deck.
“Yayoi!” He could not help but scream in horror. He then also jumped down from the deck.
The sea water was very cold. He had forgotten the fact that he could not swim, struggling to the surface. The waves kept breaking over him, one after another. As soon as he surfaced, the waves would wash over his head and drag him down again.
He gradually lost his strength and his breathing became labored.
Just when he thought he was going to die, he opened his eyes and found himself staring into a faintly smiling pair of eyes.
“You’re awake!” the owner of the eyes said with a smile.
He felt his nose empty and his breathing regain its former ease. His mind also gradually cleared up.
The girl who had jumped into the sea was holding his head, smiling at him with a radiant smile.
It was only a dream! A nightmare!
He secretly heaved a sigh of relief and pinched her cheek. “Aren’t you afraid of suffocating me?”
She had pinched his nose so tightly that he almost could not breathe.
“Haven’t you awakened?” Yayoi blinked.
“Yes, I have.” A profound light flashed in his eyes. Morphy flipped over and clambered over her.
Beneath the sheets, the both of them were naked. Pressing against her, their warm bodies clung close to each other, not leaving a gap.
She felt his change very clearly, and her heart could not help but tremble. She instinctively tried to push him away. “Don’t crush me. I don’t feel comfortable.”
“Not comfortable?” He raised his slender eyebrows slightly and there was a wicked smile on his lips. He lowered his head, his lips kissing her flushing ears. “Then let’s do something that makes you comfortable.”
After he had spoken and before she could react, he sealed her lips with a kiss, sealing all of her protests completely.
It was a passionate scene of intimacy in the room.
Suddenly, the frantic ringing of a cell phone resounded, ruining the atmosphere.
Almost instinctively, Yayoi pushed Morphy off her body. Ignoring the fact she was completely naked, she crawled up and ran to pick up the call.
She was so frantic because the ringtone that was playing was specially reserved for one person.
“Attorney Zhong.” As soon as she picked up the phone, she shouted to the caller through it.
Attorney Zhong was the defending attorney of her parents’ corruption case. He had been introduced to her by CEO Lu.
“Yayoi, your parents’ corruption case will be held in two days’ time. You have to be mentally prepared.”
Attorney Zhong’s steady voice rang out from the cell phone.
“Be mentally prepared?” Yayoi frowned and asked hastily, “Attorney Zhong, what do you mean?”
“The situation is a bit complicated. We haven’t had any evidence to prove your parents’ innocence, but Madam Yang has enough evidence to prove their corruption, so the first instance will be very unfavorable to us.”
Yayoi became anxious. “Attorney Zhong, you must help me. My parents are innocent. It’s impossible that they’re corrupt.”
“Yayoi, don’t be anxious. Although we have no certainty of winning, it’s the same with Madam Yang. You must calm yourself first. Don’t lose your composure and give your opponent a chance to take advantage.”
Attorney Zhong was as calm and collected as ever, and Yayoi slowly regained her composure.
“That’s right. Attorney Zhong is such a good lawyer. He must have a way out.”
The two conversed for a while before Yayoi hung up the phone.
“Do you need my help?” Someone draped a coat over her shoulders, and following that came Morphy’s concerned voice.
