Xing Hong Sheng couldn't believe himself that he could get easily triggered by this woman simple gesture. Shaking those thoughts away, he walked toward his soon to be wife.
He rubbed Eru's on the back of her head gently. "Let's go back." he said as soft as a feather like he's afraid of scaring the young maiden.
Eru just nodded her head obediently. She knew that every meeting have it's parting. She knew that she couldn't get attached to this man but she couldn't help it. This man aroused something in her that she couldn't name.
A never before felt emotion.
But she also know that she can't get too attached to this man or else. A determined gaze flashed on her eyes but disappear quickly as it came. Thinking that he wouldn't notice anything.
Of course our president caught a look of that. He wouldn't be seating on his current throne if he wasn't able to notice this small changes.
Nevertheless, he doesn't plan to rat her out. A genuine smile carved on his lips making him looked even dazzling.
Xing Hong Sheng carried Eru in his strong arms as they exited the hospital. They looked like a loving couple that still on their honeymoon mode. The spectator couldn't help but take a second glance at them.
Once seated inside the car, Eru turned quiet.
They didn't talk inside the car leaving a slight strained air. When Eru notice that they aren't going back to her hotel room, she glanced toward the man demanding answer.
"As I promised, you are going home with me Eru." he uttered these words slow and gently. "Your stuff already been sent over the moment your cousin went back." he added returning her glance.
-----
The moment they arrived, a line of maids and Butler's greeted them politely. Their Master has informed them that madam is coming home with him. They renovated the house a little bit along with the garden.
For the purpose of madam recovery.
One glance could tell that their Master is serious with the madam. They noted in mind that this woman will from now on became the household mistress. Just a matter of time before she married with the Master.
Eru looked around the room that they had prepared for her. It's too large! she sigh slightly. Earlier in the evening, after they had their dinner, Xing Hong Sheng went to his study room as he had been absent for a while from work.
Thinking that he might have to deal with tons of paperwork's, she stayed obediently inside her room. She doesn't wishes to disturb him any further.
Second turns into minutes and minutes turned into hours but still she couldn't sleep. Whenever she tried to sleep, a horrible images emerged on her head and she would jump out from bed, completely horrified.
Feeling that her entire sleepwear were completely soaked with her sweat, she rushed toward the bathroom and took a long shower. Instead of using the warm water, she stood under the cold one hoping that it'll clear her mind.
She's violently shaking under the shower's as flashes of that torture swept on her head. Unable to withstand such terror, she sat on the floor hugging her knees. As she was sinking deeper into desperation, a warmth engulfed her entire being.
Earlier.
Xing Hong Sheng sat on his desk signing a contract after contract and when he finished it was already passed midnight. Thinking that his woman might not be able to sleep well, he stormed to her room.
He knocked on her bedroom door slightly and he doesn't even used much force. Yet the bedroom squeaked open revealing an empty room. His brows furrowed. When he entered the room, a shower running could be heard.
He knock and knock but got nothing. A bad feelings assaulted his head and he braced himself before squeezing the door open. The first thing he saw is his woman sitting on the floor with the shower running onto her.
She hid her face on the knees looking extremely vulnerable. He bit his lips to suppress his emotion.
Before he knew it, his body moved on its own and embraced his fragile woman. Her body jolted when his body come in contact with hers. That wasn't long before she turned and hugged him tight not caring that she's completely naked.
Xing Hong Sheng carried the helpless Eru back to her room after closing the shower. He dried her whole body help her with her clothes. When he turned to leave to get change, a small hand grabbed onto his clothes.
When he turned toward her, he saw her terrified looks and his heart clenched hard. He brought her into his arms soothing her nerve before carrying her toward the main bedroom where his room were located.
He eased her onto the bed before he entered the bathroom for a quick shower. When he finished, he wore a appropriate sleepwear and walked straight toward the bed.
Without any words, he tucked them under the blanket and pulled her closer to his chest."Couldn't sleep?" he muttered gently and she answered with a small nod.
"You don't have you worry. Nothing will hurt you. I am here and will protect you. Now sleep, it's already late." he coaxed her while hugging her small frame. He treated her with tenderness that he never showed to others.
Soon exhaust kick in and both of them fall into deep sleep. While they are in each other company. The previous nightmare vanished into nothingness and Eru fall into deep sleep.
Early in the morning, Eru woke up earlier than usual. The first thing she saw was him. He looked very harmless when he's sleeping and by looking at his sleeping face, she once again drifted into sleep.
The moment she closed her eyes, Xing Hong Sheng opened his eyes and stared toward the girl lovingly. He peppered kisses on her temple inhaling her natural scent exuding from her body.
He felt contented feeling her presence nearby. He continued to watched her sleeping face for a couple of minutes before he escaped behind the bathroom door.
He couldn't stand the morning wood as she nearby. And he thought that it might be awkward if she caught a glance of his natural changes. So he suppress them by taking a cold shower before returning back to bed fully clothed.
He smiled slightly rubbing her head fondly. An emotion that was once foreign for him.
