Ceo And His Empress.. - Volume 2 Chapter 222 219. Tell Me About Us..
It took quite a while for ZiXuan to calm down…
Meilin, on the other hand, didn’t mind it and patiently coaxed him.
Well, it seems, Meilin didn’t have to worry a lot in the end… ZiXuan liked to be pampered by Meilin and so, nothing much will change even when he dealt with his past.
Both didn’t talk much as ZiXuan also needed to have some tests.
Neither Meilin nor ZiXuan was hurt enough to have to stay in bed plus, the doctor also recommended Meilin to get some fresh air…
The best option was to actually go back to C-country, but as the matter stood, ZiXuan had to take care of a lot of things here before he could go back and that would take at least a week for completion…
ZiXuan had asked Meilin, though reluctantly, if she would like to go back, but given the option to choose, Meilin thought she would rather stay with him… not only because he was the first person she met but also cause she felt that she would like to stay with this person and the thought of leaving him behind made it very painful for her head as she felt someone strangling her heart.
In the end, the two decided to shift to a hotel suite nearby…
Meilin didn’t think that anything was off as this felt natural, she wondered if they were used to it.
She had actually been intending to ask the relationship they shared, well, it didn’t seem like they were siblings… but she wondered if they were partners?
But asking this question will definitely hurt the person who was forgotten and so, she wasn’t sure how to bring this topic up.
ZiXuan indeed liked to be pampered by her, but he was also very gentle and caring when it came to her, except for the fact that he couldn’t cook, there was almost nothing he couldn’t help her with.
ZiXuan took her to the presidential suite in the nearest 5-star hotel… well, the Qin Empire did have some business here, but because they weren’t interested in competing with the Li conglomerate back then, they didn’t have any headquarters here except for a manufacturing factory and so, they hadn’t bought any plot here, it was the same when it came to buying a house.
Meilin was still a little insecure about going to a foreign place, but just like ZiXuan, she didn’t like hospitals.
On that note, ZiXuan could go into a hospital now… maybe because he came in terms with his past or, just that it was the only place which could save her life; he got rid of that psychological shadow very easily, though he did feel that his life has been quite anti-climatic lately, it was much better than relapsing when Meilin was suffering like this.
The suite came with two bedrooms, a large washroom that could replace the living room of an average house, a kitchen with basic equipment, a simple bar and a wide balcony that gave the mesmerising view of the city and the sea…
It was already deep into the night when they came here and after they had a very simple dinner with a few local specialities they headed to sleep.
Meilin couldn’t do much even if she wanted to so after she changed into some comfortable clothes, she sat beside ZiXuan was doing some last bits of work for the day.
When Meilin heard him stop, she turned her body towards him… she knew it was not possible for the time being, but she had wanted to get a look at this man…
All her senses were sharpened and even more so when she had lost one of it temporarily… she heard him get off from the single sofa and come to her; once there, she felt him kneel in front of her as her head also followed his movements.
ZiXuan took her hand into his own and spoke in his deep voice, “Shall we go to sleep…?”
Meilin visibly froze… she was definitely confused because she couldn’t grasp the nuance… she wasn’t sure if he meant to sleep together or just go to their beds.
ZiXuan, on the other hand, found that his words were a little ambiguous only after he saw her stiffen… in normal times, he would have definitely used this to his favour and he was actually very inclined to do it as all this while, a voice from a deeper corner of his heart, kept egging him to have her only for himself, and also how relieved he was to know that she found his presence to be very comforting and how secure she felt… this desire only increased.
He was indeed quite shameless and liked to act cute and needy, was also a little perverted when it came to her and liked to eat her tofu… but in the end, he wouldn’t like to get such benefits when she was ignorant about it… there would be no difference between him and a beast and so, he gulped what he was about to say and said, “If you need any help…. just ring the bell. You can sleep in the main bedroom, I’ll take the other one…hm?”
Though his voice was very gentle to hear, after saying that, it did leave a bitter taste in his mouth and it was not just him… Meilin too had been expecting something sub-consciously and felt a little down though she didn’t show it on her face.
hm… what to do? Meilin definitely wanted to spend some more time with him so, though very rare, she decided to act a little selfish and have him to himself.
When ZiXuan got up, he felt a small tug… he looked down, only to see his Linlin, a little fl.u.s.tered as she very lightly held the hem of his pyjama’s shirt…
‘Has she ever acted this cute?’, he couldn’t help but wonder… she might have as a child, but it was negligible after he came into her life, she was either strict with herself or, was strict on others and only smiled when she was with him~
He had grown up loving such a person, but he didn’t mind such changes!!!!!
He saw her bite on those beautiful lips of her as she had a brooding look, but in the end, she still spoke… “Xuanxuan…hm.. can you tell me more about us…?”, she had the gauze taken off and right now, she was looking straight at ZiXuan with her head tilted to the side and her lips a little pouty…
ZiXuan had heard a little about Meilin, that is, the Meilin before he came into her life… and he could guess that her gestures were similar to that period and so… he had never hated Mu Tianluo as much as he did now, because if not for him… he could have met this cute lady quite early!!
‘aiyo… this is so annoying!’, he had decided not to put a hand on the man, but he had decided to get some stress out on him now… though his brain was developing some torture methods for that man, he felt a flutter inside his heart as he looked at her, ‘ she is still so endearing…’, his feeling for her has only deepened all these years and he couldn’t see that changing even when they became skinny and wrinkly.
He held her hands and pulled her up as he helped her to the chaise behind the french window that opened to the balcony.
Meilin didn’t resist and even though she couldn’t see what was in front of her, she thought that it must have been ethereal… she felt lie everything would look better with him by her side.
ZiXuan let her sit on the chaise as he ran back to get some hot-chocolate that he had ordered… let’s face it, if Meilin hadn’t asked for it, he would have still done something and was hence, ready for it.
He gave the cup before saying, “It’s hot…”
“hm…thank you…”, she gave a polite reply.
“hm.. where should I start?..”, they both were the other’s youth and life…. every moment was beautiful and he felt that even he didn’t have that rich set of words to describe them…if possible, he wouldn’t like to miss a single thing, but if he did tell each and every one of them, he wondered how many years it would take him.
No matter if it was a sad moment they shared or, something happened that tickled them to the bone… just because they were a part of it, it became an irreplaceable second of his memories… thinking back, they actually haven’t taken back to live on those moments… ever.
Of course, the next second and the present one was also a gift, but so were those that they have already lived in… going down the lane of memories, a smile couldn’t help but bloom on his charming face.
At the age of 6, if one told him that he would reach a point where he could actually smile like this, he would have definitely thought of the other as the leader of a cult or simply another enemy… but everything changed…just because she was with him…
He started, “…. I came to live with when I was 8, you see… I was very scared and anxious… what I went through when I lived in this country followed me like a ghost… but there, I met an angel… an angel with a beautiful smile and a kind heart… she was younger than me by a few months but her eyes held a clever light. I saw her running towards me with her little legs making a cute sound and she held my hands and said…..”, his voice was laced with a pure nostalgia and love as his eyes looked at the girl in his story tenderly…
It was going to be a long long night….
