Song Lan slapped her blushing cheeks. How could she be so disloyal to her Tian-gege? Just a pretty boy and she's forgotten all about him...
But Brother Sichen wasn't just some pretty boy... In fact he was anything but pretty, he was a complete man, sturdy and reliable.
'I could clearly feel his power underneath those clothes with those muscle of his...' Song Lan's wind wandered off again.
'Ayo! Get a grip Song Lan!' She squeezed her eyes shut and shook her head.
It was just that such a manly man was acting so cute, all shy and so considerate of her...
She frowned thinking of Tian Zhelan again. In fact, she kind of felt guilty like she betrayed her feelings for him. All these years, everyone was like stray weeds to her eyes compared to Zhelan. She devoted all her attention and adoration to him.
Why was she even feeling guilty? Right, she felt like she was not doing what she said she would do. And though there was no verbal promise to Tian Zhelan, she wanted to prove that she was serious and that she could wait for him no matter what.
They had no commitment to each other or whatsoever, Zhelan never even acknowledged her feelings for him but still, she couldn't help but feel guilty.
She knew of his circumstances better than anyone. He was someone who couldn't express his feelings very well, or maybe he chose not to. Either way, there was no way you could guess what was going on in his mind. Although Song Lan didn't want to treat him like some puzzle to figure out, sometimes she thinks she got him all figured out.
All these years, she had been hoping that maybe he held even a tiny affection for her. It wasn't like she was asking for a relationship from him right now. Her pursuing him was just something out of her affection for him. It was her silent way of saying that she still liked him and that she could wait for him.
She understood that he was someone who didn't have love and relationships in his mind nor did he have the time for it. Being the eldest and his family not having the best financial situation, his single mother had placed all her hopes for their future to him.
Song Lan sighed. Sometimes, she thinks that Zhelan just couldn't return her feelings for now because he didn't want her to place her hopes on him too with all the responsibilities he had. That maybe he never returned her feelings because he didn't want her to wait so long for him with no assurance of what was to come. And that maybe he also never rejected her because he still had that tiny selfishness that wanted her to wait for him...
But that was just all her wishful thinking, maybe she was even delusional for thinking such things. He probably could care less about her.
Song Lan's previous good mood plummeted.
'Ahh, look at me ruining my own mood... I shouldn't restrict myself like this.' Song Lan sighed.
Guo Sichen's face popped inside her mind again. His deep and sharp eyes looking anywhere but her as a faint blush covered his cheeks and ears.
'Right... That aside, Brother Sichen was truly too cute!' Song Lan once again screamed on her pillow, thrashing giddily on her bed with her legs.
It just ignited her desire to dominate him!

Zhao Lei was driving smoothly on the way to the airport while occasionally glancing at his boss seated at the back with the rearview mirror.
'Eh? Why does the boss look like he could ram into a glass door and just turn away like nothing happened?'
His boss was acting weird! He couldn't help but get nervous. He was even absentmindedly looking outside the car window, his hand covering the lower half of his face. His brows were furrowed and looked like he was concentrating, thinking about something.
But as always, he had no idea what his boss was thinking. But remembering his boss's unsatisfied glance at him when he came to pick his boss up as he was accompanying Miss Sun to the car made him worry that he did something wrong. But at the same time there was relief in his boss's eyes, looking like he wanted to stay and escape at the same time.
Guo Sichen's mind kept replaying what happened earlier that he started to find fault in his actions that at first he thought was careful enough.
Why did he have to carry Miss Sun all the way on his back when he could just easily borrow a chair? No matter how he thought of it, he felt like he was taking advantage of her. He clearly had ulterior motives!
That feeling only heightened when he felt her soft body against his back, particularly the two soft peaks pressed against his back...
Zhao Lei jumped like a startled cat on his seat as he stared wide eyed at his boss on the rearview mirror when he suddenly groaned like he was in pain, his hand messing up his carefully fixed up hair.
Guo Sichen frowned frustratedly. He wondered whether Miss Sun thought of him as some pervert who took advantage of her.
He clearly felt that his body froze up with her pressed against his back as his hands touched the soft and smooth skin of the back of her knees. It must've been obvious how tense he was!
He also felt Miss Sun's watchful gaze that he tried to avoid it so much. In fact, he asked if he could carry her but he felt like he would still insist even if she refused.
Guo Sichen wasn't exactly interested in matters between men and women nor did he ever make time for it ever since. You could say that he was completely clueless. He had to grow up faster and take on responsibilities that children at his age back then still haven't because he needed to prove that he was worthy of being chosen as the Ji Heir. After all, he was just some lowly orphan with no background. A lot of Father Ji's relatives were waiting for just one mishap to get rid of him.
It wasn't a walk in the park for him to reach where he is right now. He never had the time to rest or relax, or rather he never allowed himself to. He had been so hard on himself all these years that he had forgotten how to enjoy.
Song Lan was like a breath of fresh air to him, allowing him to loosen up and feel relaxed around her presence. He geniunely enjoyed her company. Unlike others, she treated him so casually, even kindly. She didn't look at him with fear or repulsion that he had been so used to. Rather, she looked at him brightly, even with admiration at times which filled him with satisfaction and a warm feeling.
But, she seemed to have a bad impression of him... Of how horrible he was. After some thought, she did keep on mentioning it...
'Would she still look at me the same after knowing who I and all the horrible things I've done?' He thought bitterly.
He sighed and smiled sarcastically.
Zhao Lei was frightened even more seeing how severe his boss's change of mood was. It was almost like the temperature dropped as soon as the corners of his lips dropped.
'Ayo boss, what are you thinking of? Ruining your own mood like that...' Zhao Lei lamented, almost crying pitifully. He thought that he had been imagining it earlier when his boss seemed to be relaxed more than ever but now he was back to his uptight and intense self.
