My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 1291

Chapter 1291: You Close Your Eyes

Bai Beibei was released an hour later. In the darkness of Gong Yi’s room, she clutched the silken quilt draped over her like a lifeline and tried rolling onto her side. It took her a while but, eventually, she succeeded.

Gong Yi rolled onto his side, turning on a dim lamp sitting on his bedside table. After which, he wound his strong arms around Bai Beibei’s waist and nuzzled the crook of her pink neck – the scorching heat of his body melding into her own.

His soul trembled in ecstasy.

Even now, there seemed to be a hazy cloud of pink mist suffusing the air. Gong Yi reached out with his large hand and parted the tangled strands of hair covering Bai Beibei’s face. A glimmering sheen of perspiration coated her milky-smooth skin, and a bashful smile adorned her delicate features. Her puckered lips were swollen, taking on the shade of ripe cherries.

Gong Yi planted sweet kisses in her hair, fluttering over trellises and weaving through its winding vines. His hoarse voice coloured the air like burning coals. “How do you feel this time?”

Bai Beibei’s eyes were screwed shut by the force of her will. She refused to answer him.

Her eyes darted frantically behind hooded lids, her long eyelashes trembling indignantly. She felt trapped, paralyzed. As if all the strength in her body had been sapped dry.

Gong Yi smirked, smug satisfaction playing on his lips. He leaned over her, whispering into her pink ears, “You left a mark on me too, you know? The way you succumbed. The way you lost control over yourself…”

“Stop it!” Bai Beibei covered Gong Yi’s mouth, silencing him.

Gong Yi stared down at her with smouldering eyes.

Bai Beibei avoided his gaze. His arms and back were painted in a tapestry of marks she had left behind.

It was her first time experiencing such a feeling, and it made her heart palpitate.

“Does it hurt?” Gong Yi asked gently.

Bai Beibei shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt…”

“Let me have a look.”

“No! It doesn’t hurt… Please… stop it…” Bai Beibei shoved his hands away from her. She did not want him touching her – not now.

She was telling the truth, though. Gong Yi was not as rough as he had been that time in Hong Kong. He was… gentle in his ministrations. It only hurt a little at the start, the pain subsiding almost instantaneously.

Believing her to be shy, Gong Yi inched closer and kissed her small nose with such affection that she felt utterly mortified. “There’s no need to be shy. What’s there to be shy about anyway? It’s just the two of in here.”

Bai Beibei wished she could find a hole to hide in.

“Let’s take a bath together.” Gong Yi murmured as he gave her a bone-crushing hug. They had certainly worked up quite a sweat and they were both drenched from head to toe. Naturally, a bath was in order.

“You should go have a bath. I’ll go back to my room and bath a little later,” Bai Beibei said quickly.

Gong Yi paused for a moment. “Let’s go take a bath together…”

“No!” Bai Beibei pushed him away in a flurry of limbs. “Close your eyes. I want to get dressed.”

Gong Yi knelt on the bed, neither moving nor speaking. He merely stared at her hungrily with that soul-searing gaze with no intention of complying.

Bai Beibei did not understand. What more could he demand of her?

She had already given him all that he had desired.

Anxiously, she lifted the silken blanket off the bed as she stood, hurling it over Gong Yi’s head before picking up her clothes and scurrying out the door.

The door snapped shut behind her.

Gong Yi extracted himself from the covers of the silken blanket easily and collapsed onto his Alaskan king bed.

Though Bai Beibei had retreated to her room, her scent still lingered in the air. She smelled of honey and milk, of flowers and fields, of the heady scent of summer.

His adam’s apple bobbed up and down. How could she not understand? How could she deny him when she had yet to satisfy him completely? He still wanted more! There was much more he still desired!

How could once be enough? It did not come close to being enough!

He fantasised about taking a bath with her before continuing where they had left off. Perhaps, after a couple more times, would he be contented. Then, they would wrap themselves in each other’s arms and sleep.

He knew he could not ask too much of her, being the size that she was, but still, she could have indulged him at least two more times now, couldn’t she?

It was a little like fine dining. She had given him a taste, just enough to satisfy a craving, but not enough to fill him up.

Closing his eyes, Gong Yi willed the capricious energy raging in his body to settle.

…

In the bathroom…

Bai Beibei stood under the shower, cradling herself in her slender arms. She did not dare look at the marks littering her skin.

Gong Yi had taken ample precaution before they began. He made her swallow a few birth control pills as he buried his head in the crook of her neck. He had apologised for forcing them down her throat, saying that she was too young to have children.

Having a child together was a big deal, and he said that he wanted to spend some time together before they considered one. After she graduated and got a job, the relationship between them would have solidified nicely. Only then would they have a child together.

His words were sensible, and Bai Beibei agreed with the sentiments underlying his conviction. She would listen to him. He was a good man. He was considering their future. She could rely on him.

Bai Beibei covered her face with her small hands. She felt like her whole body was on fire.

She languished in the shower for some time before drying her hair and making her way to the bed.

It was at this moment when she received a message. “Ding!”

She opened it and saw that it was from Gong Yi — “Are you asleep?”

Bai Beibei replied — “Yes, I’m asleep.”

— “Okay. Good Night.”

“Good night,” she responded, closing her eyes.

There was no need for honeyed words. Even if they spoke with only a few words, it was enough to convey their care, pity and love for each other.

…

For a few days after, Bai Beibei could not muster the courage to look Gong Yi in the eye. Gong Yi’s heart itched when he saw her like this. He wanted to hug and tease her, but she always ran away before he could do so.

Gong Yi was helpless.

Bai Beibei could not wait to move back into the school’s dormitory. Gong Yi had already recovered under her care. He was as healthy as any man could be.

It did not take much for her to realize how Gong Yi had tricked her into staying with him. The knowledge of his trickery weighed heavily on her mind.

Elsewhere…

Life had not been easy for Bai Qi.

With Gong Yi’s influence pinning them in holding a holding cell, Bai Qi, Xiao Liu, and Xiao He spent seven days locked up without any visitors. They were not even given the option of bail.

Seven days later, Bai Shida and Qian Lan rescued Bai Qi from her confines.

“Qiqi, my precious daughter, you’ve suffered. Mother is here to bring you home.” Qian Lan hugged Bai Qi as she cried.

“Mother, you’re finally here. I thought I’d be imprisoned for life. I was so scared.” Bai Qi burst into tears, crying on her mother’s shoulder.

“Qiqi, don’t be scared. We’ll talk later.”

The lawyer stayed behind to file the necessary documents for Bai Qi’s release. Meanwhile, the family of three left in their luxurious sedan with Bai Shida in the driver’s seat.

He glanced at the mother and daughter in the backseat through the rearview mirror. Bai Qi quivering in her seat like a frightened rabbit. Qian Lan’s heart ached at the sight of her precious daughter reduced to tears, and she did everything in her power to comfort her.

“Qiqi,” Bai Shida said, “You really messed up this time. Why did you go and provoke Beibei? Did you enjoy your stay in captivity? I hope you take this experience as a lesson on choosing your enemies.”

“Father, why are you protecting Beibei? You favour her more than you ever do me.” Bai Qi wailed in displeasure.

“Qiqi, your father is only saying what he thinks is best. You haven’t read the newspaper now, have you? Beibei and Young Master Gong have been making the headlines these past few days. Everyone is saying that Beibei is going to be the young mistress of the Gong family.”

“Enough, Bai Shida. No one will think you a mute if you don’t speak. Don’t you think Qiqi has suffered enough? It’s fine if you don’t feel like comforting her but don’t abuse her with your insensitive words.” Qian Lan rebuked harshly.

Bai Shida huffed. “Fine! I won’t say anything else, alright?”
