Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 255 Shanghai Fest Arc (9) : What Tied Their Lives In The Past *

Ai widened her eyes as a second bomb was dropped upon her. "Huh? You have met him?"

"Not just met him. He has worked for me."

"Worked? But as far as I know, Bro Lingyun never worked in Sky. Though I cannot be sure after I left Beijing..."

Jun shook his head. "Not in Sky but as a sort of my attendant or a butler you can say when I stayed away from my family after Shui's twenty-fifth birthday. I clearly remember his face. He was Cai Lingyun. But that wasn't the name he told me when he worked for me. He said his name was Tang Gengxin then."

Her lips parted in shock. "That's why you asked him about that...I wondered who Tang Gengxin was."

"When you introduced us, I couldn't believe that I was seeing my attendant in front of me. And as Cai Guiying's brother? I don't understand where this is going at all. Why would her brother work for me and under a false identity?" _{Ai didn't have an answer to that.}

She asked, "How did you meet him?"

Jun thought back to his past life. "I don't remember much honestly. I never really paid much attention to him. I just know that I was drunk one night. I had talked to Shui again after her birthday night, but she was adamant about her decision of not going back together. I..." his gaze dimmed. "I felt the worst and drank heavily in the bar that night. The next thing I knew that he had brought me back to my house from the bar. He said he was Tang Gengxin. I just thanked him perfunctorily, and then he requested me if I can keep him on a job. He was broke and said he was ready to be my butler for money."

The more Ai listened, the more she could only feel more bewildered. "Broke? Bro Lingyun's financial condition was never that bad. He worked in a good company with a good salary. He even lied about his name..."

Jun continued, a swirl of suspicion and anger shining in his eyes. "At first, I didn't want anybody to invade my space. But then he kept begging me. He didn't have a proper apartment to live in. In the end, I agreed since he also helped me. But now after meeting him...I cannot be sure anymore! Just what does Cai Lingyun have to do with me? Knowing that he is Cai Guiying's brother, it doesn't seem to be a coincidence..."

He pressed his brows. "The hell is going on. The more we get to know things, the more complicated it becomes. Cai Guiying was your best friend who betrayed you, and her brother worked for me?"

He couldn't help but think if everything was connected. Until this point, he only considered that Ai and he were connected because of their deaths at the same time and the same place. That was the only moment in their past lives which was common and shared.

But now their lives felt more interwoven than they thought before. It wasn't just their last moments connecting them but something much larger had happened that inevitably associated them in more ways than one.

Apart from their deaths, one more thing - or one more person was now a source that tied them together.

Guiying. _​

Guiying, who was Ai's friend and Guiying, whose brother worked for Jun.

And this realization rattled their hearts. Even though Ai and Jun never actually met in their past lives, their lives were still somehow and largely related to each other in some form or the other.

Ai pressed her head against Jun's chest and softly said, "I also don't understand what is going on. It seems fate found its way to connect us even though we never met. Now I feel that...our past lives weren't so simple, Jun. You had your own life, and I lived my own, yet something kept bringing us back together. But whatever hidden things there might be, we will face everything together. It feels scary but as long as we are with each other, nothing can hurt us this time."

Jun's gaze softened. His heart was at unease by meeting Cai Lingyun today, but just a few words from Ai comforted his heart. He felt the warmth of her embrace melting away his negative thoughts.

Ai tiptoed and kissed his lips and the last strand of discomfort, if any, also dissipated. He lifted her soft body, his long arms firmly enveloping her. He laid her atop the fluffy mattress and pinned her beneath him. He gently lifted her hand and placed a tender kiss on the back of it.

"Ai, you always make my heart feel so much lighter," he whispered.

A soft and placid smile greeted her lips. "I feel the same when you are by my side. I feel like I can overcome anything, no matter how difficult the path might be."

Jun smiled and leaned to kiss her forehead. "Say my girlfriend. Why don't we inaugurate our time in this room by doing something special?"

Ai blushed, knowing what he was hinting at. "E-En..."

*WARNING - MATURE SCENE*

A second after her approval, Jun lifted her dress to reveal the fair skin beneath it. He got undressed himself with his lips soon finding his way on every inch of her naked body. The sound of her melodious but messy breaths and moans fell onto his ears, urging him to go faster.

Her bra fell next in line after her dress, and Jun dipped his head between her lovely and soft breasts, kissing and sucking on it. His tongue licked the pinkish bud, earning a shiver from her as he parted her thighs.

Ai swallowed a gulp, knowing what was to come and as soon as Jun entered her with deep thrust, her back arched with the pleasure tingling in every cell of hers. Her lips trembled as he began to pound inside her, and she hugged him closer to feel his warmth.

"Jun..."
