Dear Young Master Spare Me Please? - 208 Emotions
han meixiu heard the sound of the car and she immediately ran off outside barely covering herself with an outer coat.
her heart was pounding hard and as her footsteps were quickly traversing the way to the door.
she was hoping that this time, she’s right.
“jian!” han meixiu shouted after seeing the man get off the car. her voice was louder than usual and since the surrounding was quiet to begin with, she was heard clearly.
liu zijian who turned around was surprised with the way his own wife was ‘welcoming’ him. he didn’t move in his place.
her face was flushed with pinkish shade and her eyebrows almost formed a straight line.
those lips that stained with light reddish color were firmly pressed together.
‘she’s angry?’
“why are you here only now? you said only three days!” han meixiu uttered her inner resentment the moment she was just few steps away from him. she stopped her track feeling aggrieved.

liu zijian didn’t know what should he do and how should he start explaining.
more importantly, looking at his wife, he really felt he did a grave mistake. he really should apologize, right?
“i’m..sorry…”
han meixiu traversed the remaining few steps separating both of them.
the past days that turned to weeks made her extremely worried. it was fine during the day as she’s busy. but going home alone and sleeping without him was something she’s not used to.
even during weekend that she visited her father, she was somewhat always lost in thoughts.
yes, he called to inform her not to worry. but words were not enough to pacify what she was feeling.
as she realized the reason why he didn’t bring her with him, her worries escalated.
maybe because every time they would be separated something would happen.
feeling his warmth again as her uneasiness was slowly being swept away, she teared up.
“i told you, not worry.” liu zijian whispered.
“how can i not? you didn’t bring me because it was dangerous, right? besides you never told me what your meeting was all about. then it meant it’s really an unsafe trip.” han meixiu answered while her head was half buried on his chest.
liu zijian didn’t comment further. he also thought it was dangerous until he saw his brother and found out the real situation.
the moment of the two was disrupted by a light coughed.
upon hearing the sound, han meixiu peeked and saw liu zilong.
“ehm… can we go inside first? it’s pretty cold here…” liu zilong gently said as he tried to look as nonchalant as possible. he knew that if he would show a very tiny hint of amusement, han meixiu would surely feel embarrassed.
but no matter what liu zilong do, the mere fact that he was there and witnessed the couple’s rendezvous, han meixiu flushed profusely.
“brother long! i…”
“let’s go inside.” liu zijian quickly changed the topic. he felt the awkwardness of his wife after finding out someone was also there.
inside their home, while they’re waiting for tea to be served, liu zilong broke the silence.
“sister in law, i’m sorry. it was me who held back little zi.”
“oh, you’re together. i didn’t know.”
“i asked him a favor.” liu zilong answered and his expression slightly changed as he remembered what happened the previous days.
han meixiu noticed it and looked questioningly to her husband but failed to get further information as the latter was sternly looking at his brother.
“will you stay here for the night?” han meixiu asked as she felt the air suddenly turned gloomy.
“yes, sister in law will not mind?”
“you’re welcome to stay here.” han meixiu tried to cheer up her voice. her brother in law might still be smiling as he talked but for some reason there’s something wrong. plus the fact that liu zijian wasn’t saying anything, her curiosity started to bloom.

when it was only the two of them in their room, liu zijian started to talk.
“it’s really okay for brother to stay with us for couple of days?”
“of course. it’s not a problem. if it can help him.”
“what do you mean?”
“aren’t you worried about brother long?”
“is it really that obvious?”
han meixiu nodded. although she’s curious what happened during the time the two brothers was together, she held her words and didn’t ask.
liu zijian softly kissed her forehead as he murmured thank you.
it’s rare for his brother to be in this kind of mood. no matter what’s happening he would always try to be positive and smile.
but for the last few days liu zilong had been quiet and he would caught him absent minded frequently.
when he was having meeting after meetings with authorities, liu zilong was looking for the whereabouts of the woman who spared him.
with a little help they were able to get some information.
the two were the left and right hand of one of the leader killed during that night. the police then said it was an inside job, a betrayal of the most trusted aids.
while searching, liu zilong finally found a decent clue. but it was already too late.
early morning five days ago, two bodies of women were found dead. although their faces were severely wounded, the police identified them as the two assailants.
they were probably caught and were punished for their betrayal.
as the case closed, liu zijian wanted to go back to k country immediately. but his brother was affected more than he expected.
he then asked him if what he wanted to do. he clearly remembered his answer.
“i want to give them proper burial.”
as liu zijian couldn’t leave his brother alone, he decided to stay. he was there supporting him silently and accompanied him if he wanted to drink.
he even remembered liu zilong saying, “she saved me but i couldn’t return the favor.”
his devastated voice made liu zijian realized that even though his brother seemed to be an easy go lucky type of person, he could easily affected with this kind of instances.
he couldn’t really blame him.
he thought about what he felt when han meixiu was missing. the desperation and worry were enough to almost kill him.
emotions of human are quite powerful.
he had to admit, he only said few words to his wife. since the matter wasn’t directly his concern, he also didn’t give her details.
he was just thankful that she didn’t ask and only remained silent.
but her reaction earlier was adorable. she was indeed worry. his lips curved in an enchanting smile.
looking at the little woman who was in the middle of falling asleep, liu zijian whispered.
“didn’t you miss me? why are you sleeping?”
“uh-huh.” han meixiu answered while her eyes were half opened. the past few nights she had trouble sleeping and now she could finally sleep peacefully. her husband’s actions didn’t register in her mind.
liu zijian sighed.
never mind. let her sleep.
