It was already Monday. She was already getting used to Mo Yan sleeping next to her. It was a new experience for her the feeling felt actually great. She noticed that Mo Yan would wake up earlier than her. From what she gathered he would be up around four work out for two hours take a shower and leave for work. All the while she slept soundly, she only knew this because she asked the butler. This morning however she woke up earlier than usual.
She went out for a run early this morning. She ventured out a couple times through the last week and she found that there was a trail near the house. She turned on to her running playlist which was mostly Henry Huo's songs. She stretched for a little bit and started running. She found the man's voice relaxing. The morning was brisk cold, she luckily had gloves and earmuffs to hide her ears and keep them warm. It was only ten minutes into the run and her white pearly skin was already showing a tinge of pink. It had been two weeks since she last worked out. She was huffing and puffing.
Although she didn't have the most athletic looking body don't let that fool you. She was fit for someone who looked like the wind would carry her away.
The Bai's were known for their Army lineage. They were in history the sole protectors to the Hua Xia empire. Which dated back to the Han Dynasty her family's greatness was recorded throughout history they were known for having the best Generals and strategist.
Her grandfather followed in the steps as the linage as her father. Although she was born a girl she was trained and treated like anyone born into the Bai Lineage. She went through vigorous military training.
Running around the trail she came across a pond. The path curved around the little pond, around the pond was a bridge that curved across the pond. Surrounding the pond were cherry blossoms. The flower spread through the ponds and colored the clear watered pond pink and white.
She chose the path of the bridge. She almost finished running across when her foot slipped. Falling forwards towards the gravel ground she lifted her hands to break her fall so that she wouldn't hurt herself more.
She closed her eyes knowing that the fall was going to hurt. She opened her eyes and saw that she was not hurt or on the ground. She felt the warm hand across her stomach that held her still. She followed the muscly arms to find warm eyes staring back at her.
Mo Yan finished his workout and saw her figure disappear into the woods. He decided to trail behind her to make sure that she wouldn't get lost. He sprinted when he saw her trip at the end of the bridge to catch her.
"I... Thank you," her cheeks already flushed pink from the cold. She was embarrassed that he saw her fall she wanted to hide herself away from him. She thought that she would die from embarrassment.
"Be careful," he said sternly to her.
Her feet were still planted on the ground as she moved to walk to get away from his warm embrace, he lifted her up.
"I can walk by myself, I'm not a little kid." Whatever embarrassment she felt was now replaced with anger. This man was treating her like a child when she clearly was not a child anymore. She got bold and pinched his side so that he would let her go. To her surprise he didn't have any fat on his sides. This made her even angrier.
"Don't you have anywhere I can pinch?" She glared at him.
He gleamed his nice set of teeth towards her finding her amusing.
"How about you use those hands to hold on to me tighter."
"Don't want to, plus I haven't finished my workout yet."
He knew the way she fell she twisted her feet. He decided to entertain her he slowly set her down on the gravel ground.
She was about take a step when the pain from her ankle shot up towards her leg.
"Ow!" she held on to his arms as it circled her waist again.
She had tears in her eyes. This was the first time to actually sprain her ankle. She felt stupid now. She looked up into his eyes expecting him to look at her with amusement instead his eyes softened at her teary eyes.
He bent down to pick her up. This time she didn't have any protest to him carrying her she lifted her hands so that she was holding onto his neck. The position that she was in made her snuggle into him more.
"Sorry if I'm a bit heavy." She looked apologetically up at him.
Somehow, he always brought out her brattiness. Towards other people she was an angel but to him she was the spoiled Miss. Bai.
He didn't say anything to her. When he saw her almost trip on the step his heart was in full panic. He sprinted with all his might to catch her fall. She was as light as a feather her soft body pressed against him making him lose his concentration. In all of his 32 years of life no woman has ever made him lose his bearing except her at this moment.
He wanted to pounce on her once his eyes met with her. He didn't want to scare her at all, so he's been trying to control his urge. This woman made it hard for him to control his urge to take her clothes of and ravage her like a beast. If she knew an ounce of what he was thinking.
Her hands got tired holding it around his neck she dropped it down to his hard chest. She didn't know the power she had on him. He was trying all his best not to look down. But her femininely scent caught his nose. He held her tighter to him.
The path they walked on was actually land owned by Mo Yan. The pond was really close to the house. Because of all the trees it looked as if the pond was really far away when it was just next to the house.
