Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband!-Chapter 896 - 897: He Has Long Since Fallen for Her

Whenever she is not by his side, he finds himself worrying about her, missing her, even losing focus on his tasks, his mind filled entirely with thoughts of her.

When she leaves, he devises every possible reason to bring her back.

Whenever she is in danger, he fears losing her and the thought arises that he cannot afford to lose her.

It turns out... he had already fallen for her, but he himself did not know when he started liking her, why couldn’t he realize it sooner?

Now that he’s realized it, it’s too late, truly too late...

Fortunately, she is already married to him, and they can slowly grow together. He will treat her very, very well.

He can’t continue to act so terribly as he did before. What if he ends up driving her away?

Doesn’t she like him too?

He can sense it, otherwise she wouldn’t have agreed to marry him.

"A wedding gift for me?" Lin Xiaoting looked at He Jun in delight; isn’t this because she took care of He En that she’s receiving a gift?

Or is it because he didn’t give her a gift at the wedding, so he’s giving one now?

"Yes!"

"Thank you..." Lin Xiaoting smiled, moved, tears glistening in her eyes.

He Jun reached for the red wine and gripped the bottle tightly to prevent his hand from trembling.

After pouring two glasses of red wine and putting the bottle down, he faced her and handed her one of the glasses.

Lin Xiaoting placed the box on the table and took the glass of wine he offered.

Too nervous to look at him, she tightened her grip on the wine glass and raised it to her lips, downing it in one gulp!

He Jun was taken aback; what was she doing? Wasn’t she supposed to say a few words to him before they drank together?

After finishing her drink, Lin Xiaoting realized something was wrong, glancing at He Jun with an awkward smile while biting her lip, "This wine is quite good."

After speaking, she reached for the wine bottle to pour for herself, catching a glimpse of He Jun out of the corner of her eye.

He Jun happened to be looking at her too, their gazes met in the air, and after a second, they hurriedly looked away.

Lin Xiaoting’s heart was pounding; her hand shook, spilling wine onto her hand.

Feeling the coolness on her hand, she snapped back to reality, hastily stopping the pouring, realizing the glass was overfilled and wine had been spilt.

Hastily lowering her head, she drank in big gulps until only half the glass remained, preventing further spillage, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

As her lips left the glass, she licked her lips, finding that the wine truly tasted quite good.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she finished the rest of the half glass, poured a little more, and then placed the bottle on the table.

She put the wine glass on the table and took a napkin to wipe her hand and the wine drops on the floor.

Suddenly――

The living room went dark!

"What happened?"

"Maybe it’s a power outage, I’ll go check!" He Jun put down his wine glass.

"I’ll go check," Lin Xiaoting anxiously stood up, dizziness overtaking her as she stumbled toward He Jun!

Her eyes widened in fear, watching herself inch closer and closer to him.

He Jun had only just stood up when she collided into him on the sofa, his arm instinctively wrapping around her waist to prevent her from falling, and they both fell heavily onto the sofa.

Suddenly, it became very quiet, Lin Xiaoting held her breath, she could hear her own heartbeat, as well as feel his strong heartbeat, their heartbeats were rapidly synchronized.

In the darkness, they looked at each other, Lin Xiaoting blinked, unsure of what to do...

"I..." she stammered, unable to speak, her hand pressing against the sofa, "I’ll get up first!"

Suddenly a hand pressed on the back of her head, pushing her head down, as she was about to struggle, she felt a warm sensation on her lips.

He Jun, who had been a bit distant from her, was now unexpectedly right in front of her; what was he doing?

Jerk!!
