25. Pull Up Your Bathrobe

YuXin pressed her lips to contain her smile as she looked at Kun who's having a sour pout on his face while he's concentrating on the road. 

He threw a quick side glance at YuXin, "That's not funny. I shouldn't have brought you to meet her." If he could turn back time, he'd have totally rejected Yun Ying's invitation. 

"Don't tell me you are jealous of another female." YuXin giggled softly, unable to stifle her laughter any longer as she recalled the exaggerated reaction from Kun when he heard what Yun Ying had said to her. 

"Yeah, I'm jealous of her." He turned to face YuXin as he parked the car in the parking lot. "It doesn't matter if its a man or a women or a cat or a dog, I will be jealous of anyone that comes within a metre radius of you." 

Little kid Cai has been awaken and is currently throwing a fit and somehow YuXin finds this part of him endearing. With her eyes curved into crescent, she smoothed his hair gently and replied patiently, "She meant it as a friend." 

"Her like towards you is nothing compared to mine." He huffed. "I knew you since I was 7 and started liking you when I was 8. I love you for more than half my life, my love towards you is incomparable to anyone else." He pouted his lips and pulled a glum sad puppy look. "So you can't love anyone else." 

Grinning, YuXin placed her both her hands on the side of Kun's face and lifted up his face slightly, "I hear you three year-old Cai. I will only love you." She pressed her lips tightly on Kun's and gave a smooch before ruffling his hair messily. "Let's go home little kid." 

With their hands interlaced, they walked over to the lift lobby with YuXin continuing her teasing of the childish side of Kun. "Little kid Cai, are you still afraid of the dark? Do you need jiejie to sleep beside you and tuck you to bed?" She gave a cheeky grin and pinched his nose gently. 

Kun grabbed YuXin's hand and looked at her with his gaze changing from a puppy look to suddenly looking more like an apex predator looking at his prey. YuXin couldn't help but gulped with her eyes remained transfix on Kun's intense gaze.  

Lowering his voice, Kun replied. "Do you know what sleeping beside me means?" 

YuXin felt her ears reddening as soon as she heard Kun's statement. The childish bantering atmosphere had vanished and even if she was dense, she knew what Kun was pointing at. Biting her lips nervously, she tried to avert her eyes away from Kun's as she deliberated. 

Grinning, Kun let go of her hand and pinched her nose gently, "Who's the shy little kid now." Stroking her hair softly, he softened his voice. "Don't worry, I won't do anything without your permission." 

.

Yun Ying walked into Kun's office with a nicely wrapped box in her hand. The two of them were meeting to discuss the details about their company's collaboration and Kun darted his eyes towards the box in her hand and tilted his head up. 

"What's that?" 

Yun Ying sat down on the sit opposite of Kun and placed the box on the coffee table. "Tiramisu, for YuXin." 

Kun pushed the side of his glasses and pressed his lips together, trying to contain his emotions. "Well, too bad. She's not here today. She's on a business trip for our commercial shoot." He said with a tone of sourness. 

YuXin is on a business trip with Ying Hao for their new collaboration shoot and it didn't help that his business partner now is paying extra attention to his girlfriend too. 

Looking at Yun Ying with his arms crossed, he questioned. "Why are you paying so much attention to my girlfriend now?" 

"I told you, I like her as a person." Yun Ying flipped her hair back and stared back at Kun with her brows lifted. "Don't tell me you are controlling who your girlfriend can befriend with." 

Flashing a professional smile, Kun replied confidently. "Not at all, after all she knows that I am the one she's going to spend the rest of her life with." 

. 

"So? Did that Ying Hao offer you any food today?" Kun said out his name as if it was a curse. 

The sight of Kun's jealous face on her phone screen made YuXin smile and shook her head. "No, we were so busy trying to coordinate the different shoots." 

She'd just finish showering after a long day at work and was toweling dry her hair when Kun video call her from the other side.

"Wait hold on, I think someone is at the door." YuXin placed her phone on the bed and walked over to the door. 

When YuXin returned and held up her phone once again, the initially dark expression on Kun's face turned even darker. "Who's that guy?" 

"He's the video producer. He just wanted to finalise some details for tomorrow." YuXin explained patiently. 

"How could a guy knock on a girl's door at " Kun glanced at the time on his phone. "11:49pm." 

"Besides, isn't it too dangerous for you to just be dressed in your bathrobe and opening your door to a guy?" Kun started nagging on his end while YuXin nodded and propped her phone on the phone stand on her bed and adjusted her position on the bed to make herself more comfortable. 

While reaching for another pillow at the side of the bed, her bathrobe slipped down from her left shoulder, revealing her shoulder and collarbone in full view. 

Oblivious to the slip, YuXin continued fluffing the pillow and finding a comfortable position, noticing how Kun stopped talking on his end.  "Kun Kun, why did you stop talking?" 

"Liu YuXin." Kun said in a serious tone that made YuXin turned back to the phone screen and look at Kun like an obedient student who had just been called by the teacher. "Pull up your bathrobe."
