Airport, City A
In the sea of thousands people, two figures emerged at an arrival hall. A lady leisurely sat on a wheelchair with a mask and sunglasses covered her tiny face. Behind her, a slender and tall body who emitted a dangerous yet calm vibe pushed the wheelchair with a caring look. Occasionally the man would say something to the lady and when the lady replied with a little nod, he tousled her dark hair with a charming smile pasted on his face. From afar, the two figures created a beautiful scene and attracted envy look from others.
Secretary Lu who had been waiting for his master return, once he saw them, he immediately moved towards them. He genuinely happy for his master's decision to return to City A. It had been hard on him this last few weeks.
" Master, Miss Tang welcome back." He bowed and paid his respect to Mu Zihan and Ai Lin.
Mu Zihan let out a 'hmmm' sound and kept moving forward indifferently while Ai Lin could only smile awkwardly behind her mask.
Secretary Lu who already used with his master indifferent and arrogant demeanor quickly followed behind them and entered his working mode. Once they reached near the car, Secretary Lu with a nimble movement opened the door for them.
Ai Lin tried to stand on her own but only met with a warning glare from Mu Zihan.
" I'll carry you." Mu Zihan said domineeringly without giving her a chance to rebut. He carefully carried her into the car and followed suit to sit beside her.
" Why aren't you letting me to stand up? I already able to walk on my own." Ai Lin took off her mask and sunglasses and stated her dissatisfaction. The wound on her thigh was not deep to begin with and she could walk with the help of walking stick. Yet, Mu Zihan never allowed her to walk on her own except for her rehab sessions with the doctors.
" Don't be angry. I'm just worried about you." With a gentle tone, Mu Zihan cajoled her.
The driver who was sitting in front was bewildered. He couldn't believe what he heard. Was that his boss who was talking just now? He's not someone who pretended to be his boss, right? He glanced at Secretary Lu who sat at a passenger seat but Secretary Lu showed no reaction. Hmm.. Maybe it's just his hallucination.
Meanwhile, Secretary Lu who already used to be feed with dog food could only kept his silence and feigned ignorance.
" Your worries are groundless. You also heard when the doctor said I have to exercise my legs more." Ai Lin rebuked sternly.
" But I still worry." Mu Zihan muttered meekly. He could not be any more helpless than now. Ai Lin wanted to walk on her own and the doctor also had reassured him to let her practice more. But how could he be really assured. Every time he saw she was struggling with the walking stick, his heart started to tightened. What if she falls? What if she hurts herself?
Both Secretary Lu and the driver really felt ashamed. They never thought their overbearing master and boss would be this timid in front of a lady.
Ai Lin could only sighed. They had discussed this matter over and over again but it's look like Mu Zihan was really reluctant to let her walk on her own. However, looking at timid him now, Ai Lin didn't have heart to scold him anymore. " Nevertheless, I'll still practice my walk later."
" En, I'll accompany you later. But you can't walk at public." After observing her for a while, Mu Zihan knew she had calmed her anger. He reached out his hand and played with her slender fingers with a stupid smile plastered on his face.
" Later, after dropping you off I'll have to go to settle my work. I already instructed the maids to prepare everything for you. So if you need anything, just ask them."
Once she heard that, Ai Lin raise her head and stared at Mu Zihan's handsome face. " You'll leave me alone?"
Mu Zihan thought she was sad to be left alone, so he said. " Don't be sad. I won't go for long. I promise, once my work is done I'll go home quickly."
As for Ai Lin, she could not be more happy than now. She had spent her time with Mu Zihan 24/7 for almost a month and unable to enjoy the outside world. Given this chance, she really wanted to spend her time alone. She tried her best to hide her evil smile from forming.
" It's okay, I understand you're a busy person yet you've been accompanied me this whole time. So take your time and do your work without worrying about me."
" I know you're the best woman ever. You really understand me and my work." Mu Zihan who was infatuated with his own stupid misunderstanding, pulled Ai Lin to his chest and chuckled happily. Confidently he praised himself inwardly for making Ai Lin fell head over heels in love with him.
If only he knew what's on Ai Lin's mind. Haihhhh.. What a stupid delusion of his.
