Ceo And His Empress.. - Volume 2 Chapter 240 237. Her Doubts..

The two young love birds stayed in each other’s embrace for a little longer before they had to work.

Meilin has been out of it for a while now and needed to get back to work while ZiXuan had to take care of a few more things before he could go back to C-country.

Well, first things first, Meilin hadn’t cooked for her Xuanxuan for a long while now and so, she decided to make something for him.

The two had lost their appetite, she had to get it back for the two of them.

The kitchen in this suite had basic equipment and she couldn’t make something fancy, after thinking for a while, she decided on wontons and noodles with soup.

The two had professed their love for each other just yesterday night, but of course, nothing was going to drastically change.

They were a.d.u.l.ts and they can’t act like teenagers plus, Meilin had not adapted herself to the role of his girlfriend yet.

She still felt that this was unbelievable and so, she felt like walking on eggshells.

There was also a small doubt inside her…

As the keystone behind Jade entertainment, she had her share of exposure to romantic movies and other series, though she didn’t need to be exactly like ‘a girl in love‘ as portrayed in them, she wondered if she needed to change…?

ZiXuan didn’t say anything and said that he will accept her just like she was, but for better or for worse, she couldn’t help but think otherwise.

Before this, they couldn’t get rid of the other because they were bonded as a part of the family, but now that they had put a name to their relationship, it was inevitable that questions and doubts will arise… and if someone was not happy, everything might come to an end.

She didn’t doubt her feelings for him, nor did she want to question his, but this was her ‘first‘ try in love and she was quite confused and had a lot of questions.

It wasn’t like her at all, she wasn’t someone to think about something without basis and also putting a period at the end, but probably because she had been too used to doing things by herself all this while, she couldn’t help but think about this alone… the answer was to simply talk with ZiXuan, but her personality didn’t allow it.

Well, it seems, she had to change a little, not because of love, but as a person… she could learn to start depending on others and who was a better candidate than ZiXuan for this…?

…..

ZiXuan had woken up the moment she left her arms, but he had to take care of ‘something‘ and couldn’t follow her out; just for the record, this was his physiology, a natural thing… though he won’t proclaim that he wasn’t aroused with her by his side, he knew it was too fast for them to cross that limit and he needed to get that marriage certificate as well!!

Just thinking that Meilin will be his from now on and he could legally become her bug repellant, a weird grin formed on his lips.

After he came out of the washroom, he wanted to go and help her.

During this time, he was starting to rethink on his life choices.

He played a great role behind the reason why Meilin couldn’t come out of the shadows sooner, as it stood, he has been depending upon her for so long that it had become a habit; before this, he has been praising himself about how admirable he was for living without her for five years, but now he felt like a big baby!

As he thought about what he could do to help her, he walked out.

He saw her back to him as she busied herself doing a few things at the same time, he had always thought about it, but watching her like this after so long, he couldn’t help but see herself as a superwoman; she didn’t have a huge frame, but the strength behind those lean muscles could make anyone tremble in fear; she was a successful businesswoman, she was a beauty and she could cook!!

What was even more fascinating was that this person was his…finally!!

He will put some effort to lessen her burden; well, he couldn’t cook at all, but he can do other things during the prep work, right?

He was good with knife handling so, from now on he could cut the veggies and in the way, ask her to teach a few things that even he can do.

There was skip in his walk, he wanted to laugh out loud as that strange grin surfaced on his lips again, inside he was giggling with a ‘hihihihi’ sound.

He had just reached her when he finally felt that something was off about her, ‘hmm?’

He was this close and she still hadn’t responded, he saw that she didn’t have a knife in her hand and was simply waiting for the wonton soup to boil and so, he embraced her from the back, bringing her closer as he put his head on her shoulder; Meilin was really out of it and even her shock came a second later than usual, she put her hands on his and came back to herself, “…This will be ready in a minute. You can sit–”

“What’s wrong, my love..?”, his deep voice entered her ears directly, sending a shiver down her body.

As if, the fog finally cleared up–

Meilin, finally came to her sense this time around and wondered why she always makes it seem like she didn’t deserve him and they couldn’t be together forever.

Loving someone wasn’t wrong, of course, many fell for the wrong person like her father and ZiXuan’s mother, but there was also a good example set by her lovey-dovey grandparents?

In the first place, ZiXuan himself hasn’t said anything about it and he had only been professing his love for her so, why was she still doubtful?

This was indeed absurd, as if, she was set to be like this… as if, there was this chain surrounding her heart that didn’t allow her to respond to the love of anything and anyone; she frowned.

She wasn’t a puppet of fate, once she found the problem behind her mentality, she will give her best effort to get rid of it… back then, she was able to get rid of those kidnappers was also because she had found that abnormality in her thought process… she shouldn’t be like this and blaming it on her personality was still fine, but this was indeed too farfetched!

Did she not have the right to love this man?

NO!

If not her, then who?

With her being there, who else could say that they can love him more than her?

She was the most confident about her feeling for him!!

So, the problem laid in the fact that she thought of it as ‘impossible‘ for him to love her… but objectively speaking, except for her rather recluse personality, there was nothing wrong with her…?

Even with that, didn’t ZiXuan say it himself that she was fine, that he loved her?

Didn’t she say that she will believe in him? So, what the hell is with all these contradictions?

It was as if, her brain that had gone offline for a while, finally returned back to her.

Who said you can’t love someone while using your brain… she will do just that!

That chain binding her definitely fell loose, as she turned to look at him, her actual personality coming back to herself… her face devoid of any expression and that chilled air around her that always sent a shiver of excitement in ZiXuan, engulfed her.

ZiXuan had allowed her to move when she finally saw the old Meilin, who was always confident about her choices and could always tell right from wrong without involving any feelings…

‘Ah~ I really love this person…’, he thought.

Meilin gave him a lasting look evoking a toothy smile from him and nodded, ‘…no noticeable changes…’

She will take it a step further, she wasn’t one to act like a damsel in distress, the plot had been too absurd for a while now… she will get it back to her own track.

She spoke in her usual cold voice, it wasn’t the softer version of it that she had been using during her temporary amnesia, it was the one that naturally came to her.

If she can ask, she will ask?

If not now, then when?

This was the Qin Meilin that the world knew, she was always confident about her choices and made things work according to her wishes by analysing things rationally, probably the last person on earth to act needy.

“Let me go for a moment.”

ZiXuan raised an eyebrow because of her feisty display and with a lingering reluctance let her go only to give her ears a kiss, “…then?”

Well, he had always wanted to tease her because it wasn’t possible, he too was showing his true personality that was quite fiery~

This was what you got when you put two strong personalities in this same room.

Meilin blushed a little, of course, but let’s keep that matter aside for a while longer.

She raised an eyebrow and took a step forward.
