SHE CARED ABOUT HIM

After getting off from the plane QianQian and her team of employees boarded their respective cars and headed to the hotel that had been booked by the company. Everyone went to their assigned rooms and after freshening up they grouped up and held a brief meeting to finalize their proposal.

"Thats it for now. Let's all meet tomorrow morning at ten in the lobby so that we can leave together" she said. She wished them a good night then walked back to her room which was in the far end of the corridor. She booked all rooms on the same floor for ease of communication.

Walking back to her room her phone rang and she talked to Ruan for a while. Standing on the balcony she was amazed by the beauty of the city at night.

Looking out from my balcony, see saw the full moon and stars shining brightly. "it's really beautiful here" she said looking below at the tiny street lights and the moving vehicles. She was enjoying the the peaceful tranquility of the night.

"Is it more beautiful than city B" Ruan asked. To her, her hometown was more beautiful than any other city.

" I can't compare them. I feel like each of them has a unique atmosphere" she said " Maybe you should try visiting here then tell me what you think about it"

" Sure I will give it a try. Or maybe we can go together on vacation when you are free" Ruan said

" Okay. We'll plan for it" she said yawning. She was tired from sitting in a flight for more than six hours. She desperately needed some sleep.

Hearing her exhausted voice and continuous yawning Ruan decided to end the conversation.

She hang up the phone and walked back into her room. Standing in the large room she felt like the place was too big and empty. Suddenly she missed Lu Siqing's company. She tapped her phone and opened her contact list, she looked at his name for a while then put her phone away walking to the bed .

Lately she had been getting attached to him and she felt very comfortable with him around. She felt that living with Siqing had brought out a different part of her.

However she was worried. She was worried that getting too attached to him might affect her later. After all he was planning to leave once his leg recovered and the cast is removed.

Meanwhile Lu Siqing was seated on his bed sulking with all sorts of negative thoughts in his head. He felt like QianQian was avoiding him that's why she left without telling him that she would go on a business trip.

He wanted her to accompany him to the hospital. A week was very long and he felt like she was avoiding him so that when she came back he will have already left. He was having a headache from thinking about all this things.

He suddenly felt disappointed. Since his mother passed away no one had ever treated him well except for her. He thought their relationship was getting close but it turned out that it was all his imagination.

He laughed self depreciatingly. To think that he was even starting to have feelings for her. He really over-estimated himself.

He was seated on his bed looking like a deflated balloon. He lowed his head looking down at his phone. He had been waiting for her call for a while now but she hadn't called him.

He wanted to call her but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He was afraid of making her feel like he was clingy.

He put his phone aside ready to go to sleep. His phone suddenly rung. He quickly turned around sitting up and picked it from the side table. Looking at the caller id he smiled and happily picked it up.

"Siqing it's me" QianQian said

" mm!' he replied as his lips curved up into a smile. She finally called him. "Was your flight alright" he asked

" Yeah. The flight was fine. We arrived an hour ago" She replied.

After that there was ghostly silence between them. None of them knew what to say next.

When Siqing didn't talk, QianQian finally decided to talk. "About the business trip... I wanted to tell you last night but when I got home you were already sleeping and when I left in the morning you were still sleeping"

Before leaving QianQian went to his room to check if he was awake and found him still asleep. He had wrapped himself tightly in the blanket and snoring softly enjoying his sleep. She couldn't bare to wake him up so she turned and left the room.

" Oh! It's okay you just do your job don't worry about me" he said smiling. His gloomy mood suddenly disappeared and he felt very warm inside. It turned out that she actually wanted to talk to him.

"It turns out that she still cared about him" He thought as he grinned stupidly.

"If you need anything or any help when am not around just tell Aunty Zhao she'll know what to do. I will be here for a few days so I won't be able to help with anything."she said.

" Okay! Don't worry about me. Have a good night and take care of yourself" he said smiling and hanged up the phone. He felt very happy after talking to her.

"Am waiting for you" he added silently in his heart not being able to say it out loud. He hoped that one day he would be able to express himself freely without any fear.

For now he had to take it slow. He didn't want to scare here even before he could confess his feelings to her.

After hunging up the phone QianQian couldn't help but smile. She felt that her mood had improved a lot after speaking to him. Feeling sleepy she kept he phone aside and snuggled into the bed and fell asleep with a smile.

She was looking forward to tomorrow's meeting with the other company. She hoped that evething would go well so that she could go back home on time.

Lu Siqing was having breakfast in the dinning room preparing to go to the hospital. It was finally the day he would have the cast removed. He was so excited to get rid of it. It had affected his normal life a lot.

He was busy with his food when he smelt a familiar scent. The scent of lavender and jasmine.

After days of spending time with Su QianQian he knew that scent very well. He would be a fool for not recognizing her scent. He quickly turned his head and that's when he saw her walking down the stairs .

"You came back?" He asked in surprise almost jumping of his seat with excitement. He had been thinking of her and she just appeared in front of him. "Was magic real??" He thought

"What? You don't want me to come back?" she asked him teasingly. She enjoyed watching all his micro-expressions.

She walked to the dinning table and pulled a seat and sat down. Mrs Zhao walked in carrying a tray. She handed her a glass of soy milk ,sandwiches and some eggs.

"When did you get back?" He asked feeling happy to see her. It had been a few days since he last saw her and he missed her a lot.

" I got back last night when you were sleeping. You sleep like a log, you didn't hear me when I drove back" she said while laughing.

Her garage was near Siqing's room and she was surprised that with all the noise she made it didn't wake him up.

Siqing felt embarrassed being described as a heavy sleeper. He went to bed very late because he was busy playing video games.

" So you came back to accompany me to the hospital today?" He asked

" Yeah. I happened to finish my business early so I decided to come and keep you company as you go to the hospital" QianQian replied

" Great. Now I won't be alone" he said smiling. He had thought that going to the hospital alone would be pitiful but she came back to accompany him.

He picked a boiled egg and carefully removed the shell then placed it in her bowl. "Here have an egg"

QianQian looked at him smiling like a child who had been handed candy and she felt happy. She was glad that the business ended on time giving her the opportunity to keep him company at the hospital. It wouldn't be good if he went there alone. She picked the egg that he placed in her bowl and started eating it.

Standing aside Mrs Zhao watched their interaction with a smile on her face. The way this two interacted was really cute and now she was starting to look forward to their dating. She hopped to see them as a couple soon.

If only QianQian knew what was going on in Aunty Zhao's brain.
