"Hold it!" Han Meixiu nervously exclaimed. 'He isn't thinking something inappropriate, right?'
She could feel his gaze. Whether her eyes were close or open, she's looking or not, she could feel it. Wasn't that weird? Given with this super close proximity, the pressure it brought to her made her mind crooked. She needed to move away.
He stopped his one hand as the other was still supporting her. He looked with confusion to the woman who was, until now, was avoiding his eyes. 'She didn't need my help? Then what is she waiting for?'
"Could you please wait outside?" Her voice was slightly shaking. She wanted the second young master to go and wait outside. Her room wasn't a presidential suite that has its own bedroom and living room. It was just a simple deluxe room. Therefore, the outside she meant was in the hall way.
She was asking the head chief of the hotel, who also happened to be the owner, to wait there. "I won't take long. You can bring out the chair if you want.." As she continued her stupid suggestion, her voice got smaller bit by bit thus the last word was almost like a soft breath.
"No. I'll wait here." He said decisively as he slowly released Han Meixiu though he was still on alert just in case.
She nodded gloomily. She knew it. Still, there's no harm in trying, right? At least she tried. She adjusted herself to find her balance and as soon as he loosened his hold, she stormed to the bathroom, of course, forgetting to pick up her skirt or any other clothes she's supposed to wear. She only realized it when she was staring at herself on the mirror. She inwardly cursed. 'Being alone with him is unhealthy' she muttered as she exasperatingly messed up her short lustrous hair but it still dropped elegantly.
They're not yet married but she's already experiencing this non-stop heart popping and stopping emotions. She wouldn't be surprised if one day she would experience a fatal heart attack. Since the time she was entangled with this second master of Liu family, her life was never been the same. Another round of intensely gathering enough courage was the only thing she could do for now. She wrapped a bath towel and let the comforter on the floor. She's sorry for the housekeeping personnel but she knew that person would understand her situation.
As she tried to ignore the presence of Liu Zijian sitting majestically on the chair near the bed, she was telling herself a mantra 'focus, focus, focus'. She directly went to the area where she saw her skirt and found nothing. 'Huh? Where is it?'
"You're looking for this?' He picked up the piece of cloth earlier to give it to her but she hastily went to the bathroom losing his chance.
Since she didn't want to come closer to him, she answered, "No." without looking at him. His voice was more than enough for her to start getting nervous again. She then diverted her attention to where her luggage was and took the entire thing inside the bathroom.
When she went out and was now fully prepared, she knew they're already late but Liu Zijian didn't say anything. He was standing near the door and extended his hand. She subconsciously avoided it thinking he would touch her or hit her for making them late? But she really moved full speed when she was changing this time!
"Give me your hand." He said feeling baffled.
Her mouth formed a small 'o' shaped as she understood what he wanted to do. Didn't his father also do this earlier with his mom? So he was really learning. She felt her cheeks blush and tried to hide her smile by lowering her head more. Her nervousness halved as she held out her hands. They already saw each other's body and even kissed but this was the first time they're holding hands. But who cared about the order of things? Not her, and probably not him as well.
Liu Zijian looked at the small hand on his palm and used his thumb to gently caress it. He was right, it was smooth and soft. It's also small. He could totally enclose it with his hand.
Meixiu on the other hand became conscious. 'Why is he staring so intently? Does my hand feel weird? But I used hand cream regularly. Even I forgot it earlier it won't feel rough, right? Was it because of my nails?' She started to worry endlessly again. Fortunately, before she could continue to torture herself. Liu Zijian pulled her by the hand unlocked the chain lock of the room and went out.
It was also the time she was reminded that there exist a chain lock for security purposes but she forgot to use it earlier. 'He locked the room? But why?' It was simply out of habit for Liu Zijian but she would find it out later on.
Ye Ming, who has been waiting outside saw the two came out holding hands was speechlessly surprised. He was actually worried when his boss barged in without a warning inside a lady's room. But who was he to question his boss? Besides, she's going to be his wife. He just couldn't help wondering what did second young master do inside that made the lady screamed without hesitation. He had to actually pacify some guests who heard her.
When they arrived, the first to greet them was Liu Zilong. For Han Meixiu this was the first time meeting the first young master of Liu family. Both the Liu brothers were striking similar physically except their behavior. Unlike Liu Zijian aloof and indifferent aura that could make people stay away, Liu Zilong gave off a warmth feeling that could make someone comfortable.
Liu Zilong gave a sincere smile when he greeted her, "Hello sister-in-law!" And he smiled wider when he noticed that the two were holding their hands. His eyes displayed a mischievous spark.
