Chapter 245 BDSM
"Nope." Mo Li took a step back and wink at her before turning his back and walking away from Bella. Almost immediately her face sunk then irritation followed.
What was Mo Li doing? She gulped and followed him towards the living room. Slowly her mind started turning in a different direction. Does Mo Li think she was ugly? Was it because she had been too aggressive? Bella remembered that the previous Bella was a bit too passive. She doesn't like confrontations and doesn't really engage in any sexual stuff.
She remembered that the person who took Bella's virginity was actually Mo Li but that was only because both of them were a little drunk. From her memory, it was Mo Li who initiated and that was that. It happened once and it never happened again.
"I still have some stuff to do. I will go to the study." She heard Mo Li said. This time, he approached her and kissed her forehead. Then he quickly took a step back and once again left her alone, standing in the middle of the living room!
She squinted at the man's back and walked towards the room without saying anything. Maybe her changes turned Mo Li off? Maybe he was into some BDSM stuff and he was dominant? Was her dominant personality a turn-off? Irritated, Bella sat on edge of the bed, her lips pursed into a straight line, brows furrowed as she crossed her arms across her chest. Maybe it was because… her chest wasn't that big?
Alright why the heck was she thinking about her chest in the middle of a serious conversation with her head?
But yes. That might be because she wasn't attractive enough. Bella stood from the bed and walked towards the bathroom. Then she slowly took off her clothes, revealing her skinny frame. She watched her reflection from the mirror just a few steps away from the bathtub.
Bella wasn't someone that could outshine all the models and actresses out there. She had beautiful skin but her eyes were too small. She had perfectly white skin but her lips were a little too thin. She thought of how Mo Li had been staying abroad all this time. It means, he had seen a lot of beautiful women before. She sighed and found a robe for herself. Then she started filling the tub with water.
Clearly, she shouldn't worry about the physical aspects of this body. After all, once she accomplished her mission, she would leave. Another sigh left her lips before she frowned and stood as still as a statue. She looked at her reflection again, wondering if something was wrong. How could she even worry about Mo Li's perception of her!
She widened her eyes when she realized the abnormality that she just experienced right now. She was… she actually wanted him to kiss her! She wanted him to touch her! She wanted him!
But how? Was that the body's reaction to him? She blinked and blinked again.
"Bella?"
Bella almost jumped when Mo Li suddenly open the door of the bathroom without even knocking. "Did something happen?" she didn't miss the panic in his eyes.
"What were you thinking?" he asked, concern apparent in his eyes.
"What?"
"What were you thinking just now?"
"Huh?" Confused, she raised her brows.
"Did you think that I didn't want to kiss you because you were not attractive?"
"You are basically calling me ugly, right now."
Mo Li stared at her. "Please… don't tell me I'm right." He suddenly approached her. Using his long legs to reach her in a few steps. "Please don't even think that."
"What are you doing?" she tried to take a step away from him. Why was this man so confusing?
"I'm sorry."
"Mo Li… what the hell are you doing?" she asked. "Are you drunk?"
Mo Li stared at her. "I'm sorry for making you overthink things." His lips thinned into a straight line. "I didn't mean it. I just— "
"Whoa!" she held her hand in front of his face. "What are you talking about? Why would you even think that I would …. That the… that thing was enough to make me overthink things?" Of course, she would never tell him about her thoughts. That would only make her sound insecure, alright. She squinted when she saw Mo Li's complicated expression again. "I thought you still have some things to do?" she asked and held her robe, wrapping it tighter against her body. "I— the tub is ready. I am about to take a bath."
In response, Mo Li only stared at her with a complicated look. He knew her. He knew she had the tendency to overthink small little things. He should have known better than tease her. He had been preoccupied with making her remember, he had been thinking about things that would remind her of him.
The blue diamonds, the name Lily. And yet, she is still not showing some emotions or signs that she remembers him. Her face was practically blank all the time. Of course, this wasn't enough to make him give up. However, this made her wonder if her acting skills had also improved? Or was she adapting to the body that she was using in every world?
So far, she was showing different personalities every time. And this time, he finds it hard to tell what she was feeling inside. He just… he just doesn't want to scare her. After all, he wasn't aware of her mission this time.
He opened his mouth but no words came. In the end, Mo Li said nothing as he left the bathroom with the same complicated expression that he had. For a few seconds, Mo Li stood by the door. Then he lifted his head and smiled.
Actually, he was the one overthinking things. He snorted before he suddenly opened the door again. Then he strode towards her. Ignoring her surprise squeal, Mo Li pulled her into his arms.
"You— "
"I know." He gave a boyish grin. "I mess up. I'm sorry."
Confused, she frowned at him but Mo Li didn't give her the time to speak. He leaned and planted his lips into hers.
