Chapter 185


    She couldn’t remember why she had said those things back then, nor could she recall why she had


    disliked him. All she vaguely remembered was that Matthew had said something to her, but what he


    said exactly had slipped her mindpletely.


    “The silly things I said as kid? You’re not still holding a grudge, are you?”


    Orion had his lips tightly pursed; seeing his reaction, Xanthea realized it–of course!


    He was a Scorpio, wasn’t he? After all these years, he was still holding a grudge?!


    “Can’t you just forget those words?”


    Xanthea grabbed his wrist, pulling out a pair of blue crystal cufflinks from the gift box and bending down


    to put them on him, “I really don’t dislike you, not one bit, on the contrary”


    Due to past life memories, she considered him the most special and important person in her life, aside


    from her family.


    Orion watched her carefully rolling up his sleeves and fastening the cufflinks, and the years of icy


    shadows in his eyes melted away under her attentive gaze.


    So, his Xan had long stopped disliking him.


    “Alright.”


    “Really?” Xanthea finished with the cufflinks; her eyes sparkled as she looked up at him, “Then let’s


    make a pinky promise!”


    Without waiting for his consent, she hooked her little finger around his slender one, and gently shook it.


    The blue crystal cufflinks shimmered like cat’s eyes, and the intertwined pattern of their fingers seemed


    to mirror their actions.


    Orion, observing their linked fingers, felt a deepening in his gaze, “Xan, do you know the meaning


    behind giving a man cufflinks?”


    “Yeah, the salesperson told me that it means–having mutual encouragement and making progress


    together!”


    Orion’s lips curved slightly.


    Yes, to hold your hand, and grow old with you


    “How about it? Do you like these cufflinks? I think they really suit your wrists and skin tone.”


    It was mainly because he was just too striking; how could anyone have such sensually sculpted wrists


    that even the veins weaving across them looked attractive?


    “I like them, like them a lot.”


    His voice was husky, and the tail end of his words were tinged with a seductive drawl, which tickled her


    ears.


    Xanthea looked up, unexpectedly falling into his deep, tender eyes that seemed almost soft enough to


    squeeze water from


    What’s happening? Was it because he was sick?


    Why did it feel like there was not a trace of his usual cold aura for these past few days, but instead, he


    was as gentle and adorable as a big obedient dog, making her want to ravage him wildly!


    She was going crazy, thinking about ravaging a top–tier boss!


    Xanthea shook her head, and suddenly withdrew her hand, “Let’s, let’s eat, and you need to take your


    medicine after..


    “Honey, you’re amazing!”


    Suddenly, from the TV, came a wave of ambiguous and intense panting.


    Xanthea looked up in horror, only to find the male and female leads, who had been enjoying a cozy


    dinner, were now embracing each other, kissing passionately as they moved toward the bedroom, their


    clothes in disarray, bodies entwined.


    The explicit scene was shockingly bold!

    She nced nervously at the TV, then at the man beside her, and frantically searched for the remote


    control.


    What was with this movie? It seemed so artsy and innocent at first, but the content was so risqué!


    She had picked the film herself, even copying the dinner scene where gifts were exchanged.


    Il Orion saw it, surely he wouldn’t misunderstand? Thinking she wanted to seduce him into bed after


    giving him a gift, just like in t


    movie!
