CHAPTER 108
Moments later, he stopped and broke the kiss so they could both catch their breaths.
Due to the weakness in her knees and how light-headed she felt, Bai Qing Mei fell on his body, leaning her weight into him.
"I missed you," she confessed once more.
Ye Cheng closed his eyes and held her close. It really dawned on him that she was here and standing with him.
She was no longer dead. All his nightmares and sleepless nights would finally stop. No longer would he be pained when her memory came rushing into his mind.
But even at that and with everything seeming plausible, things were still a bit strange to Ye Cheng. He was happy that she was alive, alright but then how come? He recalled seeing her die, right?
'How is it possible that she is right here in my arms?'

"I am fine as you can see."

"Please, sit down, Mei."
"You want to ruin my mood with that incident. I do not want to recall anything right now."
"I am sorry, but I deserve to know. I was worried and sad, you know."
"Fine but after now, no more talking about it, okay?"
Ye Cheng nodded his head to show his understanding and waited for her to sit down first and relax.
Bai Qing Mei finally sat down and heaved a deep sigh while closing her eyes then opened them to look into his eyes.
"That day was the most devastating day of my life." Bai Qing Mei started, her eyes suddenly became dull and full of dread as she thought about what happened.
"I was so scared and when I saw them beating you, my heart was thorn in shreds at that moment. I watched as you bore the pain just for me. Ye Cheng, I love you so much."
Ye Cheng's face still remained calm with no hint of emotion except for the little tug of his lips to the side to show a side smile
