He received a message from his mom after his quick shower telling him to pick up Meixiu and they should come together. He took note the room number and ordered Ye Ming to bring him a master key card. He checked the time. There's still 30 minutes left before the dinner. He wanted to normally go back to his office to check something but considering the distance to and from Han Meixiu's room, he discarded the idea. He more or less already finished the majority of his work so he went to her room instead and chose to stay there to wait.
Han Meixiu originally wanted to just lay her worn out body down for only a couple of minutes before taking a quick shower to freshen herself up. But she overestimated herself control. The combination of a tired body and a soft bed was a temptation she could never fight off.
She fell asleep with her arms wide open and her legs were still hanging over the side of the bed. She was positioned diagonally and her hair partly covered her face as her head was slightly inclined on the side. Her top was crumpled up exposing her creamy and snowy tummy. As for her skirt, well she took it off before lying down because it was uncomfortable. She was only wearing a seamless peach colored undergarment thus exposing fully her beautifully shaped jade-like legs.
'A piece of art' Those words were keep on repeating on Liu Zijian's mind as he looked at the sleeping woman on the bed. He was undoubtedly agreeing now with his brother.
Han Meixiu felt someone came but her eyelids were really heavy plus she's in a hotel room. Obliviously, nobody would come as the housekeeping daily routine was usually before lunch. But after sometime she felt someone's stare so she gathered all her remaining will power to forcefully wake herself up and open her eyes. The moment the fragments of light invaded her vision she almost lost her soul! She saw a person looking down on her!
"Waaaah!!!" She shouted her lungs out. Her heart nearly stopped beating out of shock. She automatically grabbed the comforter and rolled around until she reached the other side of the bed and fell down. She was just like a rolled sushi exposing only her face that basically hit the carpeted floor. As a result she had a hard time moving or maybe she also didn't want to move at all.
'Was that Second Young Master Liu? What is doing here?' She confusedly asked herself. She couldn't peek because she's on the other side of the bed where Liu Zijian was standing.
She moved the only part of her body she could, which was her head, and saw her skirt that she took off earlier. Her eyes bulged and she stared at the piece of cloth lying in front of her as if asking why it was there. It only meant one thing! She's wearing only her undies! Her half body was totally exposed! He saw it! F*%&$#! Should she curse the bed for tempting her to sleep soundly or herself for being tired?
'Why is he here? Why didn't he inform me before coming? Why didn't he ring the bell? And most importantly, why didn't he wake me up? Why did he only loooook?!? Is this some kind of vengeance? Because I saw his naked half-body he should see mine, too?'
On the second thought, he didn't take off her clothes. When Liu Zijian came in, she was already in that state. "Then, it means it's my karma? Or a combination of both?'
She endlessly asked herself and knowing that no one would be able to answer her, she started to wholeheartedly 'pray', 'Dear god who is in-charge of karma please be merciful to me. Please let this be a dream. I promise I won't do what I did anymore. I promise I won't be a naughty girl. Just please.." She had to admit she enjoyed looking at the sleeping half-naked Liu Zijian before but being on the receiving end at this moment, she knew it's extremely embarrassing. 'I'm really sorry. I'm really repenting.. Please let this be a dream.' She continued pleading to whomever super being could hear her. Though the probability that it's indeed a dream was nearly zero, she still wanted to deceive herself even for just a few more seconds.
Liu Zijian never saw a person moved as fast as Han Meixiu earlier. He also saw another new reaction of his soon to be wife and took note of it. In addition, he was taken aback with her shout. It was as if she wanted to disturb all the guests of the hotel. It was really loud. He actually planned not to wake her up since she looked exhausted and he was appreciating an 'art' but she woke up not too long after he came in.
It has been quite a while since she rolled down but she's still not moving. He wondered if the woman fell asleep again or maybe she hit her head and passed out. He moved to the other side and picked up the rolled up Meixiu who was on the midst of 'praying'.
Nobody heard her sentiments. Her prayers were useless. The harsh reality slapped her when she felt she was picked up and her feet recognized the carpeted floor. She was actually stepping on the comforter wrapped around her body. She was a little bit unstable.
"Are you okay?"
'This is reality.' She bitterly concluded when she heard his soothing voice. 'Confirmed. It's him. I don't have any dignity left.' She wanted to cry but even her tear buds didn't want to cooperate with her. She bit her lower lips and gathered her scattered courage as she opened her eyes and asked, "What are you doing here?" She intended to sound as stable as she could but her voice ended up small as if someone was intensely bullying her. Her eyes were focused looking at his perfectly shaped jawline that was seemingly inviting to be touched.
"I'm here to pick you up." He simply answered as if he didn't care much about what happened earlier.
"I need to change." She normally wanted to say 'put on some clothes' but that would highlight the fact that she wasn't wearing a skirt and she wanted to pass it off as much as possible.
"Hmm." He agreed while he slightly nodded but he didn't let her go. He was still securely holding the rolled up woman. He was actually worried that if release her, she would stagger and fall again. She should unwrap herself first. As he thought that maybe Han Meixiu couldn't move, he started to do the job.
