Chapter 174 Give Me A Kiss?
It was a ring.
Yuliana bit the toothbrush head as she turned the ring on her left ring finger with her free hand. The silver ring had some simple patterns engraved on it with a red diamond embedded in the center.
The diamond wasn’t particularly big. It was cut into a square shape, and it sparkled brilliantly under the light.
The red diamond and the ring were well-matched. The ring was simple and generous, yet it retained a sense of design and beauty.
She wondered when Christopher put it on her.
Yuliana stared at the ring on her finger and pondered for a moment, but she didn’t remember it at all.
She came back to her senses and continued to brush her teeth. After that, she took off her ring and put it on the sink
As she squeezed some face wash and started to wash her face, she heard the door of the bathroom open. Christopher was woken up by a phone call from the Solace residence early in the morning with several instructions given. When he hung up and returned to the room, he saw that the bed was already empty, and he heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom where the lights were on
As he pushed the door open, he saw Yuliana wearing a tank top and shorts, draped in a loose nightgown. One side of the nightgown had slipped off, revealing her round and slender shoulders. Her hair was casually tied up in a topknot, and she was bending slightly over the sink to wash her face.
Most of her clothes were plain in color, and those she wore at home were even lighter in color.
His gaze flashed and caught sight of the ring on the sink.
“Pass me two facial towels,” Yuliana suddenly spoke as she washed the foam off her face.
Christopher stepped forward, took two facial towels from the shelf, and stood next to Yuliana. “Turn around.” Yuliana tilted her face slightly and turned toward Christopher. Her face was wet, and she couldn’t open her eyes. She could only see a tall figure standing in front of her, emanating warmth like a heat source.
Even though there was some distance between them, she could still feel a constant stream of heat washing. over her face
Christopher wiped the water droplets on her face.
When she opened her eyes, she could clearly see the man’s excessively charming face.
Yuliana was lost in thought for a moment.
Christopher looked into her eyes, and their gazes met
The familiar underlying feeling gradually surged.
“Give me a kiss?” His voice was a little hoarse, and his lips curled into an evil grin.
After saying that, he gently grabbed her chin, lowered his head, and kissed her deeply.
As their lips met, a wave of shivers ran through her body, and she sank deeper into his arms.
Christopher chuckled as he gently pressed against her lips. “It’s just a kiss. Are you so sensitive?”
The hot air he exhaled fell onto Yuliana’s lips. It was ticklish and seductive.
She responded in a low voice. Her breathing was slightly shallow, and all her attention fell on the man’s lips.
After hesitating for two seconds, she took the initiative to kiss him.
It was rare for Yuliana to be so submissive and proactive. After hesitating for a moment, Christopher lifted her onto the washstand and took back the initiative.
The situation was getting out of control.
Just as Christopher was about to take off his clothes, Yuliana stopped him. She looked into his eyes and said in a trembling voice, “No, we’re running out of time.”
Christopher kissed her again, and only then he managed to suppress his surging desire.
He helped her put on the nightgown. After that, he picked up the ring on the sink and said in a low voice, “Hold out your left hand.”
Yuliana was a bit slow to react at the moment
She didn’t react until she saw the ring he was holding. At the same time, she also noticed the silver ring on his right ring finger.
She stretched out her hand and watched Christopher put the ring on her left ring finger.
He slightly turned and adjusted the ring a little so that the red diamond was right in the center of her ring finger.
At that moment, Yuliana’s heart skipped a beat as if she had been struck by lightning.
She looked at the ring on his finger, and she lifted his hand to take a closer look
It also had the same pattern as her ring, but his one was just a plain band without a red diamond and slightly wider
Obviously, the two rings were a matched set.
“When did you prepare it?” Yuliana asked.
Christopher didn’t answer instead, he asked, “Do you like it?”
He assumed all girls would like it.
It was already 8:30 am when they came out of the bathroom.
The birthday banquet started at 12:30 p.m., and guests began to arrive one after another at about 10 a.m. When Christopher and Yuliana arrived, it was almost 12 p.m. They didn’t enter through the main entrance. Instead, they drove directly into the underground garage of the hotel, Christopher took Yuliana to the lounge and went downstairs to receive the guests.
Apart from close relatives and friends, everyone who could be named was invited to Zachary’s birthday banquet, regardless of whether they had any previous dealings with the family. The entire Rhodes Hotel was reserved by the Solace family, which included several banquet halls and 500 tables.
He was certain that Kendrick and the others would be too busy to handle everything.
Shortly after Christopher left, someone knocked on the door of the lounge.
It was Xandria.
Yuliana was stunned for a while. She hadn’t seen Xandria for quite some time. She sent a few messages to Xandria and wanted to ask the latter out for a talk. However, Xandria ignored her.
On the way here, Christopher mentioned to her that he also invited the Yeager family to the birthday banquet. She thought about taking the opportunity to talk to Xandria today, but she didn’t expect Xandria would take the initiative to approach her
They sat on opposite sides, somewhat far apart from each other.
The atmosphere was a little tense.
In the end. Yuliana broke the silence. “Xani.”
Xandria glanced at her and asked in a firm voice, “What?”
Yuliana moved toward her. “Are you still angry?”
Xandria rolled her eyes. “What’s the point of getting angry?”
In fact, after Christopher apologized to her, she wasn’t that angry anymore, but she still felt a little hurt. She felt that Christopher was more important than her in Yuliana’s heart, and she was a little unhappy about it. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
As time went by, it became harder for her to swallow her pride.
They looked at each other for a while, and finally, Yuliana smiled at her. Xandria couldn’t help but burst into laughter
“What are you laughing at? Yuliana, if Christopher bullies you in the future, don’t come crying at me. I won’t care. You’re the one who asked for it,” Xandria said fiercely as she plopped down beside Yuliana.
Yuliana grabbed Xandria by the arm and made a sound of disbelief. “You won’t really ignore me.”
“Yes. I will,” Xandria replied.
The banquet hall was crowded with many guests.
Waylon and his family had also arrived.
Waylon was discussing finance and business matters with someone while accompanied by his eldest and second sons.
Meanwhile, Quincy was chatting with the wives and daughters of various families while accompanied by her daughter.
Margaret wore a red princess dress with a big hem, and she had a bow on her head. She also had a green. heart-shaped gem necklace around her neck, making her attire particularly eye-catching.
It seemed that Quincy had spent a fortune on her outfit for today. She wore a luxurious and high-end ensemble.
The mother and daughter walked with their heads held high, radiating confidence and satisfaction, unlike their usual timid demeanor
“Mrs. Ziegler, your daughter is getting more and more beautiful.” One of the ladies buttered her up.
Today, all the families heard rumors that the Solace family was going to announce Christopher’s marriage at Zachary’s birthday banquet. In fact, Quincy and her daughter couldn’t keep their mouths shut and had already leaked the news.
