Ice Prince: Rewrite The Star

"You don't want to stay at my place?"

Chleo's body stiffened hearing his question. Why does it ring a bell in her mind?

'You don't want to live with me?'

'Do you love me or not?'

'Prove that you love me because I want to do it with you right now.'

Chleo had read similar dialogues in her novels. If the female character accepted it, then the virtue she has been guarding all this time would disappear in vain because sooner or later, the male character would betray her.

But if the female character rejected it, then their relationship ended right away.

What should she do?

She still held to her family's principles that were now ingrained in her heart, but she didn't want him to end their relationship. They haven't even been together for half a year! How could Chleo let their relationship end like that?

"Uhm… isn't it too soon? I mean, we've only been together for two months. That… I think it's too fast." Chleo tried to give understanding to her lover. She hoped that the man could understand her heart.

"Too fast? What are you talking about?" Max was perplexed about where this topic of conversation goes.

"You know… that… Usually, when two people of different gender live under the same roof, 'that' kind of thing is bound to happen. You know what I mean."

"..." The corner of Max's lips twitched. Now he started to understand what the girl was thinking. This girl had misunderstood him, obviously. And to make it worse, Max had no intention of correcting this misunderstanding and acted oblivious to what she meant instead. "What do you mean? What is that kind of thing? I don't understand."

"That thing... you know what I mean." Chleo bit her lips in frustration once she saw Max shake his head. "It's the activity that lovers usually do."

"What do lovers usually do? Hand in hand like this?" Max held her hand gently and wrapped his finger around her tiny ones like a lover did. "Or like this?" Max lifted Chleo's hand and raised it to his lips. His soft yet cold lips lingered for a while on her skin, and it made her skip a beat.

Seconds later, Max opened Chleo's palm and pressed it to his right cheek. Chleo herself felt hypnotized and couldn't avoid his touch. How could she resist when she touched the most smooth snow-like cheek?

"Your hand is so soft." his honey-like words made Chleo's heart go wild.

How unfair! How could that young man make her heart flutter like this?! She also wanted to make the man felt what she had been feeling all along. Chleo grumbled inwardly without being able to think of a plan to strike back.

"So, do you mean this one?"

"Noooo."

Max felt his heart jump out of its place once he heard the spoiled melodious voice that came out of Chleo's mouth.

Max pressed Chleo's hand even more against his cheek while his head bent slightly as if he was stroking Chleo's palm. He did it on purpose because he knew that his actions would make Chleo even more helpless.

Chleo bit her lip in frustration. She felt she could never win against this man's advances. It seemed she had to make her point very clear so this young man could understand what she wanted to say.

"What I mean is... SEX! What I mean is that they will have sex when they live together."

Max was stunned as he didn't expect to hear the word 'sex' from Chleo's innocent lips. Then his laughter just slipped away until he had to let go of Chleo's hand to hold his stomach.

"Why are you laughing? Are you laughing at me?"

Max still hasn't stopped laughing, and with difficulty, he has to focus on the road. He's almost tempted to turn on auto-drive.

"Are you... teasing me?" Chleo grumbled, deliberately using an irritated tone to show that she was mad.

In the end, he pressed the auto-drive button on his car because he didn't want to risk an accident. Moreover, the roads were currently filled with snow, making the roads slippery and prone to accidents.

He didn't want his girl to be any angrier than this and decided to clear up this misunderstanding.

"Chleo, I mean you can stay in my apartment. It's close to the office. But, if you want to live in the mansion with me, I don't mind either. But I thought you must be exhausted if you have to commute between the mansion and the office. A one-time trip takes almost two hours, and I don't want you drained yourself to death."

Instantly Chleo's face turned red as she realized she had misunderstood.

"So… don't worry. I won't ask you to stay with me until we get married."

Chleo was taken aback to hear that. Is that true? The man would not be like other young men who would invite their partners to live together even though they are not married? Is she dreaming?

Who would have thought that she would meet an ideal man just like her liking?

Chleo was sure her father would accept Max. She was sure her father would approve of their relationship. Now her confidence has doubled.

Maximillian's heart melted instantly when he saw Chleo's gaze filled with a million love. The girl had looked at him with admiration and love. But now, her gaze seemed even more radiant, as if her affection for him had increased many times over.

Without realizing it, Maximillian raised one hand to gently stroke her cheek. His finger stroked from Chleo's eyebrows down to her soft eyelashes making Chleo feel ticklish and giggled amusedly. The tracing went down her nose to her lips.

As soon as the skin of his finger touched her lips, their hearts seemed to stop.

"I did say I won't do it until we get married. But can I kiss you?"

Chleo found it hard to breathe as her heart went wild again. Her head felt giddy at the same time she was feeling intense euphoria. Chleo subconsciously nodded her head, giving the man permission.

Getting her permission, Max shifted his face forward… then…
