Dear Young Master Spare Me Please? - 233 Just for Tonigh
in a not so far away place, one granny and middle aged man was sitting across each other.
simple dishes were placed carefully on the table but were obviously left untouched.
granny ling, who was now sitting properly on the chair, was leisurely drinking a cup of regular green tea.
“let’s cut the chase. why do you want to meet me?”
“you’re not hungry?” han yun xiang asked. bringing the woman in this place, in contract to what he expected, was relatively easy. it was as if she already expected he would ‘pick’ her up.
the food were the usual dishes they used to eat back when they were still dating. han yun xiang could still remember how zhang huiling ling would eat happily and could even finish more serving than him. it was probably because he would feel full just by watching her eat.
granny ling sighed before she resignedly spoke. “there’s no point of bribing me with foods. you didn’t arrange all this just because you want me to only eat these, did you?”
“why don’t you let your guard down at least once. i’m not a stranger, at most i am still your husband.” han yun xiang answered hoping he could ignite the woman to at least show a tiny bit of her old self in front of him.
it was clear to him that zhang huiling didn’t plan on showing her real face. she kept the mask on and her tone of voice didn’t ripple a single bit. she wasn’t affected of his presence.
granny ling chuckled. “don’t be disillusioned. i don’t have a husband.”
“ling ling, if you’re still angry, you can punish me as long as you want and as much as you want…”
“you’re so called ‘ling ling’ has been dead long time ago. i am sorry to disappoint you. you’re apology came way too late.”
“no matter how many times you insist, you are her. that fact will never change. ling ling isn’t dead, she’s still inside you…”
zhang huiling sighed. “i don’t really know how long you plan to pretend or believe that everything would eventually turn out fine as long as you apologize. you really think that by showing things related to the past everything would eventually fall back into their respective places as if nothing happened?”
the stolen box from zhang yu’s residence that he requested was still inside her own room. the moment she saw it, she already had an idea that this man was planning to reconcile with her. but, time already changed her so much that the remnants of her foolish little self was almost non-existent.
if it wasn’t for her baby, she wouldn’t want to face this man. she was expecting that sooner or later, her baby would set her up to meet han yun xiang. she just didn’t expect it would be this soon.
when han meixiu asked to talk to her privately, she knew she would meet this man.
han yun xiang didn’t answer. he warmly looked at the woman who her kept her eyes lowered. he wanted to start over again now that he found her. but, was it really too late?
“besides, i can’t afford to really punish the mighty h.” she continued as she smiled bitterly.
“i am not that person anymore but if you want, i don’t mind being your sword and shield.”
zhang huiling shook her head gently. “the moment you collaborated with the military, you already cut the ties with the organization severely. taking you in again would do more harm than good.”
“but…”
“han.yun.xiang! we are done.” zhang huiling said firmly and looked straight at the man. her words were clear and carried a strong decisive power that made the man shiver as if he was hit by thousand of sharp icicles.
it was painful. why would a short sentence could make his world crumble down?
inwardly he said, ‘meixiu, father tried.’ when he lowered his head trying to accept and control his emotions, zhang huiling looked side ways.
never did she imagine that a man like him, would eventually look as dejected as this. but she already made her decision. their situation now wasn’t as simple as before.
too many complications would arise. she’s not yet prepared to face all of those possibilities. she didn’t want to come unprepared again like what happened in the past.
“if that’s all you have to say, then i think i need to go.” zhang huiling said and stood up.
“ling ling…”
the woman sighed. he’s being a pain in the ass. calling her with that name.
“just for tonight, can you accompany me? after this, i promise, i won’t bother you again.”

“do you know how dangerous my situation is right now? the longer i stay the more…”
“i already arranged everything. you don’t need to worry. just for tonight. let me live in a world i kept on imagining the past years. consider this as my last request.”
zhang huiling sighed before she sat down again. she would be lying if she wasn’t moved. but if this would make the man stay out of her life for good, then she would gamble.

han meixiu who woke up in the middle of the night and after extending her hand, she found out no one was sleeping by her side.
‘where is jian?’
the moment she walked out of their cottage, she was shocked to see liu zijian was being supported by ye long and not ye ming.
han meixiu seldom see ye long as the latter would normally work in the background unlike ye ming. if ye long was the one accompanying her drunken husband, where was ye ming?
“young mistress, my brother couldn’t walk anymore thus, i’m the one sending second young master.”
“what happened?” she asked.
“both young masters were celebrating and drank a little more than usual.”
‘little more?’ han meixiu looked at liu zijian. her husband wouldn’t be like this if it’s only little more. but she didn’t want to probe more.
she then let ye long came inside the cottage as the two passed by her, she heard what liu zijian has been murmuring.
“i..hic… i stink. meixiu…she.. hates…”
han meixiu bit her lips to avoid smiling. she indeed didn’t like the stink smell of alcohol that was strongly coming out of his body. but it wouldn’t be to the point that she would hate him.
“let him down on the sofa.” she ordered as she saw how liu zijian tried to struggle when ye long wanted to move further.
after carefully placing the young master on the sofa, ye long didn’t immediately leave. he waited for another order. taking care of the young master wouldn’t be easy. the young mistress who was already pregnant would need an assistance.
when han meixiu squatted beside the sofa, liu zijian looked at her with a hazy gaze.
“i.. stink…, meixiu, i.. stink…” he kept on saying as if he was the most disgusting creature on earth. he looked pitiful and..adorable…
if han meixiu was alone, she would have ‘tease’ him already.
“find scissors for me.” she said to ye long.
ye long quickly went out and when she was alone, she started poking and pinching the defenseless man on the sofa.
she smiled widely as her hands move around him. if she could get a simple grunt and reaction she would giggle.
by the time ye long came back, han meixiu already composed herself. “you can go. you need to take a rest, too.” she said.
after ye long reluctantly left as he was worried how the young mistress would take care of their boss, han meixiu grabbed the scissors and cut liu zijian clothes.
who cared if they were expensive? she needed to remove the clothes in order to wipe him. but she couldn’t ask ye long to do it.
in just a few minutes, liu zijian specially tailored expensive suit became a pile of rags.
by the time han meixiu finished wiping liu zijian, she was extremely tired. after covering him with a quilt, she went to sleep.
liu zijian who woke up after about few hours, was shocked to find out he was stark naked. with a splitting headache, he looked around and relaxed upon seeing that he’s back in their cottage.
he immediately walked towards the bedroom and seeing his wife soundly sleeping, he smiled. he also see the towel that was disregarded near the bed.
unlike the first time he was knocked out, his wife seemed to behave this time, or so he thought.
when he saw himself in front of the mirror, he chuckled. she was still the same as before. the marks on his body were still her obvious ‘masterpiece.’
